Somebody said that MJB looked scared in this clip.  What do you think?

This is really cute. Amber was great and now Elijah! I've loved him since The new age, Hairspray! He was definitely a bright spot of that film.

This is pretty alright.

The dancing from the Scarecrow and the Crows.... plus the Poppies! I simply can't!

I love how modernized it is. I really do.

Mary J Blige just tore it down! WERK. WERK. WERRRRRRRRK.

That new song was wonderful.

Mary J. KILLED THAT SONG. Wow. Better than I even expected. 

I really want Queen Latifah's song.

So beautiful. The whole thing is so beautiful. Kudos, NBC. #BlackExellence

 

The actress who plays Dorothy was singing and dancing well but she was getting overshadowed by the rest of the cast.

Amber has been slaying all week. First she was bringing people to tears in her Christmas movie and tonight she slayed her performance.

Elijah is really talented.

Mary's acting was bad but her singing saved her performance.

I saw a tweet that said Emerald City is Burning!

This has been fantastic all around. The acting, the singing, the costumes ... everything has been really good. It has flown by. So well done. I can't praise it enough. Third time was definitely the charm for the NBC live musicals. It's going to be hard to top this, if they even try. I'm very curious to see the ratings tomorrow. It's been getting praised left and right (of course there's some hate but who cares?).

Uzo Aduba was unbelievable.

If only they'd put this on last year instead of that tedium with Brian Williams' daughter. I imagine that made a lot of people tune out of these for good.

As a community, we (African Americans) needed this. The Wiz came at the right time. A time when we all needed inspiration & something uplifting.

 

Uzo and Shanice have me in tears.

I enjoyed that.  Everything staged really well.

I think that was because the dancers were Voguing, a reference to the documentary Paris is Burning.
