Members All My Shadows Posted May 9, 2010 Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 HSM is a musical with original songs, Glee is a show where they cover popular songs. OLTL knows exactly what they're doing, and I'm extremely embarrassed for the kids who have to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted May 9, 2010 Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 OLTL did the "Babes Behind Bars" musical years ago, I think about 2002. That one included popular songs, like "Bad Girls" and "I Can't Make You Love Me". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted May 9, 2010 Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 Frankly I'm surprised they can afford any of those songs, I mean 'I Gotta Feeling' was number 1 on the charts for half a year and the Black Eyed Peas are the biggest pop act in the world, their songs can't be cheap, can't they? Unless they gave OLTL a discount, maybe Snoop put in a good word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted May 9, 2010 Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 Right, back in the day when they were ripping off High School Musical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 9, 2010 Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 Well they did just fire a slew of actors. Wouldnt it be some mess if it was to afford some of these songs for their lame spring musical story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted May 9, 2010 Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 Me either, I just hope I don't miss anything important during those three days. I hope it's all musical and no story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted May 9, 2010 Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 The Brody part looks good. The girls singing doesn't look promising. It will be a lot of hyper movement mixed with bad singing. I don't normally watch OLTL but will watch this for the curiosity factor. It is just a shame Starr Manning is the central character. She isn't the type to play a romantic lead, and even worse, wherever she goes her song-addicted mother is sure to follow. Kassie DePaiva has a pleasant voice and yet is a terrible entertainer. Her blandness makes Clay Aiken seem edgy. That Ilene Kristin number looks particularly bad; it reminds me of a low rent music video from the early 80s. I hope it is good though, but remain skepitcal.

Members Ann_SS Posted May 9, 2010 Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 Valenti always finds the money for OLTL to have good music. He used Come Home by OneRepublic a few months ago and that must have cost an arm and leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted May 9, 2010 Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 I can't imagine how much they are paying for the rights to these songs. The showrunner for Glee said in an interview that they've been really lucky with artists allowing them to use their music but Glee is...well...Glee. This is one of the times I would really like to see the budget for these shows. Last sweeps it was the icy pond and the blizzard, this time its the musical complete with choreography, recording and if they follow the Glee formula lots and lots of autotuning. The stunts just keep getting bigger and glitzier. I know that Valentini is supposedly a budgeting whiz but is anybody that good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members catsmeouch Posted May 9, 2010 Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 What days does this air? Is the prom after the musical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted May 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 It is airing May 14, 17, and 18. I think the prom and musical are happening at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 9, 2010 Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 Oh, I get it now. You see, while the musical (which, by the way, has a budget that's ridiculous for a high school musical) is going on, others will have fantasy sequences in the form of song-and-dance numbers.

Members Leia Posted May 9, 2010 Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 Eh. The Prom is the musical and the musical is the Prom. And I want to vomit. What song is Brody singing? It looks like he and is back with Jessica but I hope they are not sleeping together at this thing if her amnesia is still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted May 9, 2010 Members Share Posted May 9, 2010 Well she did say that she planned to lose it to Cristian on prom night but I don't know if she'd do it with Brody just for the heck of it (well, the Jessica we know and love wouldn't have). But I don't think so because the spoilers are that he gets with Nat before she regains her memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
