This week Theme: Broadway Songs of your own Gender

Performances of Note this week go to Bradley Zellars gave us a stirring rendition of I am what I am from La Cage aux folle. This performance came a few days after a hate crime that was committed on a member of our gay community, at of all places our home the Stonewall. This also on the heels of various other anti-gay violence that have happened in our wonderful city. Bradley was able to impart the pride in ourselves and strong stance that we all feel in the face of such hatred.

Lovelee Carroll gave us a the Wizard and I from Wicked and sang the song the well, but needs to work her voice control and to able to project when singing soft. Sing out Louise that's all I have to say.

Alex Amarosa gave us a great classic Broadway song So in Love from Kiss Me Kate, the trouble with singing such a staple is to be able to make a such an iconic song your own. We all know how how Howard Keel, Robert Goulet, and Brian Stokes Mitchell sang the song, so try and de Cole Porter it if possible.

Travis Morin I felt gave us the performance of the night sang Things Move to Fast from the Last Five Years. This song was perfect for his vocal range and he rocked it. His musicality and and vocalization had the audience on their feet.

Finally I have to give a shout out to Sarah Straw, being sick and not whining about it she turned out Someday from the Wedding Singer, she was a bit strained but still was able give a great performance and pushed through it. That is he sign of a true performer. Great Job Sarah.

There were a few other notable bits to the night.

Best Judges Quote goes to Emily McNamara "Your teeth look like a perfect white row of urinals that make me want to piss in." Said to Bradley Zellars as he flashed his gleaming white smile to us.

Most Bizarre performance goes to Sashe Annette who after a few or more that a few drinks tried to sing the Winner Takes It All and well it didn't work out so well. Thanks for trying sister and remember drink soda water until you sing then get blotto.

Ok Finally the Judges Picks
