Are you going to watch?
I would be the only one in my household with any interest. Everyone else groans and says it’s too long!
Don’t have a TV, so no.
No, I’ll see it live at a local high school next month.
I don’t have a TV and don’t like the movie nor reality TV (my sister and Mom watched the Making Of the special which was basically a reality TV show,) but if I did have a TV I might watch it if I were bored because some of the children are pretty talented.
Yeah. Maybe not the whole thing, but I’ll tune in out of interest. Why not?
Carrie Underwood? The Sound of Music - Country-style.
Absolutely not. I hate hillbilly music.
Meh. Underwood’s no Mary Martin. Pass.
Yes. I gotta DVR it, though; choir practice is the same day.
I hope Underwood doesn’t country it up.
The Sound of Music is hillbilly music?
I heard Carrie Underwood singing the title song, and she was marvelous. Jeez, I never in my life thought I’d be defending a country singer doing The Sound of Music. This coming from a classic rock loving guy.
And hey, a live performance could be interesting.
Who’s playing von Trapp, Simon Cowell? Not as suave as Plummer but with a more forceful “No.”
I’m much the same. I can always turn off the tv if I don’t like it, but if the singing’s remotely decent I can let that run in the background while I do housework and such.
I don’t watch T.V. live, but the DVR is set to record and I will definitely be watching it at some point. I love the original movie (it was the first one I ever saw), and have known every song since I was 9 years old. I’m anticipating that I will end up doing a singalong version.
Will the character of Admiral von Schreiber be appearing? I ask because that was the role I played, back in 8th grade: The director had already concluded that my singing was terrible, and that was the largest non-singing part in the play. The part doesn’t show up at all in the movie.
Well, OK, even if von Schreiber is in this production, I still won’t be watching, but that’s just because I don’t have a TV, and I already have something planned for tomorrow evening anyway. But I might watch it, if I could.
My daughter, the aspiring Broadway performer, is already squeeing about it, because of some of the well-respected Broadway names in supporting roles. She’s got mixed feelings about whether [del]Kelly Pickler[/del] Carrie Underwood has the chops for the role of Maria, and has promised hissy fits if her performance is not up to snuff.
I think you mean Julie Andrews. Mary Martin was in South Pacific.
Anyway, I won’t be watching. I don’t like The Sound of Music - too bland.
No, but a lot of people have never heard her do so-called legit music. (In this case, legit is a type of musical that uses a lot of vibrato, not a value judgement.)
I did find the song on her tumblr, and I personally am not a big fan. She’s bringing in too much a “nasal” quality to the sound, characterized by too high a larynx and/or too spread an embrasure. She needs more resonance and softening. It’s better than most bad sopranos, who are all resonance and no character, but I still don’t find it that pleasant to listen to.
It’s much better than I expected, sure. But it still has too much twang.
Anyways, I’ll probably catch it when I can find it online. If it actually is live online, I might try to listen for a while just for the novelty–assuming nothing goes wrong here with the ice storm coming.
no
im a 23 year old dude
I’m sure Carrie Underwood is fine, but if I want Sound of Music, I’ll watch The Sound of Music.
