Or at least I’m told I should. Listen, I’ll join the chorus of folks that bemoan the idol take over of theater - or theater related television for that matter (though there certainly have been some inspired performances - think Fantastia). It also bumped up the use of pitchy in the vernacular - which is NOT OK. Then again, idol in so many ways is the definition of theater. Simon was never Broadway’s champion but he certainly served up plenty of drama that was often far better than what was happening on the stage. It also gave us Kelly Clarkson. She’s never graced a Broadway stage but if you’ve seen her live, you’ve seen some truly great theater. This is not from her new album (which is insanely good) but it's one of my favorite performances. I was in the audience for this and no video could really do it justice.
