Lea is Rachel. Rachel is Lea. It's almost as if Ryan Murphy created the character based on Lea Michele. While I don't particularly care if she is a diva or not, the girl has some serious chops. Though on some songs, the girl that plays Mercedes out sings her.

I believe he did create the character with her in mind.

For me, her voice gives me chills in the best way. I thought the Glee versions of Don't Rain on My Parade and I Dreamed a Dream were both absolutely wonderful.

She's a great belter, and I enjoy listening to her sing, but IMO her voice lacks subtlety. But I do think she's the best singer on Glee, which I guess is the point.

Not sure what to think of her. She seems so fake in interviews while clearly thinking that she comes across as charming/cute.
I find it funny that in all group photoshoots with her castmates, she's always the one girl who wears the least clothes. That said, she has amazing legs.

Just to clear up a few things:

Lea is a homewrecking hoor. She's broken up two relationships that I know of and did it on purpose, for fun, and the dumb beeyotch told people she was planning to do it in advance.

She's also a filthy dirty hoor with crap taste in men. She did Zack Braff in the bathroom at a Tony party after he threw her one of the worst come on lines ever: "I've already seen your tits." She also let Constantine Maroulis give her a golden shower and told everyone in NYC how gross it was. Girlfriend is not smart.

She's got a set of stage parents cut from the Dina Lohan/Lynne Spears cloth. When she didn't get the lead in the West Side Story revival, her mother called the producers and screamed at them "Why are you trying to destroy my baby's dreams?"

She was vicious to the other girls in the Spring Awakening cast. She was pretty much hated by everyone and didn't care. She's has screwed over agents and accompanists and stylists over the years. She is a piece of work. I think it's very likely she's going to get the lead in the film version of "Wicked". Everyone has been calling her a "baby Idina" for years.

And slightly OT, but there is nothing alleged about the Christian Borle/Laura Bell Bundy hookup. It was true and it was cold and ruthless and it destroyed poor Sutton Foster. Christian and Laura were still together until recently. He also destroyed all the good will of the musical theater community, who ALL took Sutton's side.

And my work here is done...

Wol: When I saw your name, I knew you'd have the inside information.

And ew on both counts. Zach Braff? Constantine Maroulis? Is she desperate or does she see this as part of the casting couch process? I also hate that she broke those relationships up for fun. Nothing screams of pathetic insecurity thatn behavior like that.

This would probably explain why Borle hasn't worked in any major projects since then?

OT: I knew Sutton Foster's name because of Thoroughly Modern Millie, but I didn't know anything about her. Just went and looked at some photos, and she is adorable.

Lea Michele really, reeeealllly rubs me the wrong way. You are not all that, missy.

Eww. I need to go cleanse my brain with naked pictures of ASkars.

Yeah, there was a period where he was unofficially blacklisted. I think he's doing Mary Poppins now. Everyone seems over it.

Still OT, but I love me some Sutton Foster.

I only know Sutton Foster as Coco from Flight of the Conchords.

I never really got into Glee, but Lea Michele has always rubbed me the wrong way. She gives me serious mega-bitch vibes. I have no problem imagining most of these stories about her being true.

O/T I saw Sutton as Eponine is Les Miz a year or so before she got Millie and girl has more stage charisma than should be legally allowed. Everything just lights up when she walks onstage and your eyes are immediately drawn to her, even if she's just standing there.

From what I've heard from my friends on the Great White Way, half of everybody is sleeping around with everyone else - especially if they're on tour.

As for Lea, I think she has a fantastic voice and does a great job playing Rachel. I have a friend who met her and Jonathan Groff during their Spring Awakening and said they were both very nice so she must've caught her on a good day. Girl sounds like a real piece of work.
