9/25: Broadway and Idol

We’ve seen stories like this before and this offers nothing really new but since Constantine is in “The Wedding Singer,” it gave this AP reporter an excuse to rehash all the Idol folks who have done Broadway.

Addicts can now name the notables: Tamyra Gray briefly did “Bombay Dreams,” Frenchie Davis and “Rent,” Diana DeGarmo in “Hairspray.” And some semifinalist named Josh Strickland (I don’t really remember him) is doing “Tarzan.” Interestingly, Justin Guarini tried to get on the short-lived Beach Boys musical “Good Vibrations” but didn’t even make it to previews.

Good Morning everyone, who cares about Constantine? If all else fails, do broadway.

Hey Shaun, I keep forgetting to send you that book and I meant to email you about the fair. We didn’t get to go this year because the nine year old is cuttin’ up in school so he was on punishment!

But back on subject, this is a topic that easily bores me. I have only been to maybe two broadway shows in my life so who cares. I do wish them all the best though.

Good Morning! Well, if all they can manage is broadway then they aren’t doing too bad.

Carla, have you caught up on your work yet? Do I need to call your boss and tell him to get off your back and chill or do you have everything under control? What do you need, a raise? I will put in a call to him. Just let me know.

Good Morning Everyone.

Josh Strickland … is doing “Tarzan.â€?

There are just so many jokes there, I can’t even begin.

Not yet. I’m trying to make sure that I’ll be ready for 1st quarter business. We start that next month.

If Constantine doing The Wedding Singer is just an excuse for someone else to rehash the AI-Broadway connection, what do you call it when someone posts the link in a “news” blog and proceeds to re-rehash the already rehashed information?

Just for the record, even though this blog tries to imply otherwise, Justin was offered and he accepted the part in GV that he garnered great reviews for in the original workshop. He stated in several interviews that he left GV for another offer. Good thing in hindsight, given the horrible reviews and press it recieved. In not sure why the author felt he had to twist the story.

Heck, even I know the correct story behind Guarini and “Good Vibrations”. He declined the Broadway offer, and he received great reviews for the pre-Broadway show. Not hard info to find.

Mr. Ho, very simple research is needed to know the facts if you’re going to write pieces and give out information. It’d be the responsible thing to do. How about correcting your misinformation about Guarini? I’d be interested to see if truth is a concern of yours, or if it’s more about personal agendas.

Rodney, there is no need to correct the info, whether it is true or not, because no one cares. So NL, you can get off of Rodney’s back.

Good Morning Shay, I saw your post to me. It’s all good, whenever. I did not make it to the fair either, I just didnt want to go… I saw Vin had posted. I hope she didnt forget me, she didnt mention my name. Hi Vin, email me sometime.

By shay

Shaun, I don’t think she forgot you. She was just probably trying to think of everyone and it slipped her mind. Anyway, I didn’t want to go the fair either. Besides, I need to save money because I am trying to sell my house and move into a new one before Christmas!!! It would be so wonderful to have a new house and a white Christmas so that I can sit by my new fire place in my new pajamas and drink my new cup of hot cocoa!!

Did I cover everyone?

Mystique, sorry, I have been at lunch (you know a brotha gotta get his eat on) He is doing really good, just spoiled already. He is such a joy though. If Shay knows your email address, have her forward a pic of him to you.

LMAO @ shay!! We haven’t even met and you know me so well! But let me just say, he’s not just company. He is Neo Anderson. Yes friends, he is the one.

Jex, you are dating the singer Neo? Isn’t he a little young to be knockin’ boots with?

By shay

I meant to say Ne-Yo.

Hey Carla! Yes ladies, the search for Jexy’s Next is over. And he COOKS!

By Jex

H to Naw! That lil’ boy can’t do a thing for me. He’s really not even getting paid yet.

My reference was to Neo in The Matrix - he was “The One”.

I bet he is a sweetie Shaun. I know, you just can’t help but spoil him! I ca’t even imagine the joy and overwhelming love you have for your own child. I have godchildren and love them to pieces, but it is nothing compared to your own.

Jexy, u robbing the cradle?! Hon, we are supposed to look for the ones that are OLDER and MATURE! :-)

By shay

OMG!! He cooks??? Marry him!!!

Jex, you know the singer Ne-Yo got his name from Neo in the movie.

By mystique

Alright Jexy!! Found you a good lookin’, cookin’ man!

Is he ok with your job at Majic City?!? :-)

By Jex

September 26, 2006 2:16 PM | Link to this

Girl, how do you think we met?!

By shay

September 26, 2006 2:16 PM | Link to this

Mystique, judging from the time she made it to work, sounds like Mr. Neo is the one with all the “skills”, not Jexy. So her experience at Magic City don’t mean nothin’ to him.

By Jex

September 26, 2006 2:28 PM | Link to this

shay, how do you think I got the man to cook for me? AND find someone to do my lawn AND pay for it. AND got a rental car for me when my car was in the shop?

How did that happen, shay? Huh?

By shay

You got skills!

By Carla

I thought this blog was about Idol and Broadway, not Jex’s new man!:-)

By Jex

September 26, 2006 2:43 PM | Link to this

LOL! No, he’s just really sweet. We havent gone there yet. It seems his ex was certifiably crazy and he’s just happy to be with someone with some sense.

AND with someone who would love to see a Broadway play starring any of our fine American Idols.

whew! that was close!!

Carla, Jex’s new man is her idol so technically we are still on topic:-)

LOL Carla! Don’t get the police out on us, OK ;-)

Those skills finally paid off, huh Jex??

It’s a shame that Jex, Carla, Mystique and Shay have no life that they have to talk all afternoon about what Jex did last night and why she almost got fired for laying up with her man the first half of the morning. Have you no shame ladies. Do men do this?? And the topic is Broadway not Jex’s way. Is she the queen of the AJC blog. Perhaps we should just rename the blog JCMS to represent those four names because that’s all seems to be the topic these days. I mean really, just because Carla has long hair don’t mean she all that. And Jex gets a new man and the whole AJC world stops. And don’t even let me talk about sassy mouth Shay. That bit$# think she run things in here with all the links to other sites and snide remarks. And oh please, Mystique got everybody thinkin’ she all nice. If that’s her real name!!!

I’m kidding yall! Just wanted to make someone laugh:-)

Not a great side of the fence to be on, huh Shay?!?

Why don’t you do your research before blogging?

Guarini CHOSE to drop out of the production of Good Vibrations shortly after rehearsals began… he wasn’t asked to leave. He was the buzz of the previews, and while his departure can’t be blamed for the failure of the show, it certainly couldn’t have helped it any.

Sounds like he made the smart move and got out while he could.
