Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 16, 2010 Members Share Posted May 16, 2010 *ahem* it was a boathouse. I'm surprised some liked the salon number--the ladies couldn't even get the movement of their legs when sitting synchronized.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted May 16, 2010 Members Share Posted May 16, 2010 Oh, the dancing was NOT good...But I liked the song, and I thought it was a cute number, with pretty good vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted May 16, 2010 Members Share Posted May 16, 2010 Nothing can top the hair salon number for me, I have been watching it over and over all day. It was SO cute, and probably the first time I have enjoyed anything involving Dani. Im not even really looking forward to much else probably Layla/Starr/Langston doing Battlefield and the I Gotta Feeling number. But yeah, the musical isnt as bad as I thought it would be, a nice little break from Coma Cop, Gigi, and Rex, and most importantly Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted May 16, 2010 Members Share Posted May 16, 2010 The one that messed up was that random dayplayer girl whos name I do not know, but Jess/Langston/Layla did fine. I also LOVED the outfits Roxy and Destiny were wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted May 16, 2010 Members Share Posted May 16, 2010 I admit, Destiny has never looked better than in that number. Though I felt bad for the poor girl--relegated to being Roxy's assitant and passing out magazines while the other girls get their hair done? LOL She can't catch a break!

Members SFK Posted May 16, 2010 Members Share Posted May 16, 2010 There are in fact more lyrics to Peabo's Theme (get it, like "Nadia's Theme"? ::whomp whomp:: ) Uh, but yeah, I don't know if he ever really tells you what to do with all that stuff. Let me go YouTube it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted May 16, 2010 Members Share Posted May 16, 2010 I maybe overanalyzing but I think she was the assistant because of her hairstyle. She has weave in her head, which isnt really something that needs fixing for the prom, the other girls of course didnt, but I maybe wrong because Im clueless when it comes to women's hair. But Destiny looked great in her outfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted May 16, 2010 Members Share Posted May 16, 2010 I always figured that what you do when you don't find the rainbow's end (this time) is receive tomorrow from Peabo, but it only works if you let him be the one you share it with (do do DO doooo). You also have to share each day that follows with him too, cause, like...you kinda only have one life to live (unless you have DID, then you have an indefinite amount).

Members SFK Posted May 16, 2010 Members Share Posted May 16, 2010 OMG, there's a funny Roxie line about doing weave in there somewhere. If they ever did a scene with Roxie sewing weave in Destiny's head I would just die! She'd get so many points across the nation for that one. Actually, it would be really cute if Roxie was doing Dorian's and Destiny's weaves at the same time, a cute bonding moment. I agree, Destiny looked great in the fantasy sequence!

Members Vee Posted May 16, 2010 Members Share Posted May 16, 2010 While I like aspects of this tacky mess, what I find really up-its-own-ass about the whole thing is the continuous mythologizing of Starr and Cole as the ultimate couple, something I'm sure Brian Frons is all over since he started all that. Let's be real here. You have one young actress dragged down to the level of one mediocre young quasi-hunk who was never that great, and together they're pushed to the frontburner in a series of contrived stories they can't really carry, and apparently that's all you need to claim they are the next Lily and Holden. The show clearly knows Brandon Buddy can only handle so much, so they have never bothered fleshing his character out or making him nearly as unique, idiosyncratic or visceral a personality as Marty or heck, even Patrick. Instead he is just a bland "hunk" who is not actually that much of a major-league hunk, really. He's average in every way, but they act like he is God's gift and the second coming of Lucky Spencer. But if that was all, that'd be one thing - in the last decade, I've seen a dozen sham teen couples claiming to be the next summer superstars. At this point, no big thing, same old [!@#$%^&*]. The problem, then, is that OLTL has, over the years and especially now, taken great pains to explain to us in detail how Starr and Cole are the most incredible, passionate, exciting young couple ever, an example to all in Llanview before or after; in fact, they are so important and amazing that on the show, characters must devote a three-day musical to their epic love (one which would never get past the PTA or the school administration, but never mind). For OLTL to fix an entire stage show around Starr and Cole's "epic story" that only started a couple years ago is so self-congratulatory and delusional. Meanwhile, everyone else on the show is encouraged to go back to their first/"greatest" loves just like Starr and Cole. Natalie is shoved back towards old-ass John while Jared is still cooling in the ground, Jessica's antics are meant to be seen as delightful and fun, and who knows whether Crayla will really make it though I sure hope so. You know what, though, OLTL, Starr and Cole are not all that. They do not bring the ratings, they are not terribly interesting, and they do not deserve two whole musicals. This year's musical could have been instantly improved if they'd done something far more realistic - have Langston instead base her tale off one of OLTL's classic couples from years past, be it Viki and Joe, or Jake and Megan, even Marty and Patrick, or perhaps several of these couples at once - you could toss in Cord and Tina, or Max and Luna. And then let the youngsters assume those roles. That would be a celebration of all the eras OLTL has to offer, and would draw our vets into the story organically, and that wouldn't be a story where we're expected to believe the Llanview High staff has signed off on a big show all about several current students, their out-of-wedlock baby, and their rapist/rape victim parents.
