Tootie sucked!

It was the 80s and those girls were very sheltered from the real world.

Every time I see that South Pacific audition I always think "Is she the best that school has?" Terrible

Yes, but she was the only black person who else would they sent to dance?

It kills me everytime. It’s funny, Kim was great at playing Tootie, who was annoying. So I think Kim is an ok actress and was great on living single as well. However, Tootie couldn’t barely hold a tune, if at all, and she couldn’t really act either. (Which again, is weird to say since Kim isn’t terrible).

Natalie was so much better than Tootie during the South Pacific auditions.
I wanted to kill Tootie FOR Natalie when she swooped in and got the role.

Lisa Welchel was actually a decent singer. Much better than Tootie during the Christmas at the big house show.

Then when she was going to Audition for the Broadway show with “Two of hearts” and barely put personality in it.

The episode later that season where Cinnamon comes back (and basically ushered out George Clooney who we’d barely seen. He must have popped over to Roseanne shortly after) and Tootie is so pissed at her because she got a big break and is acting like she doesn’t want it, where as Tootie has worked blood sweat and tears to make it and it just wasn’t working out for her. She made it seem like Cinnamon was handed something she didn’t earn. The reality was Cinnamon could sing and Tootie couldn’t.

Later that episode she performed a monologue or poem on the radio and was flat as all get out, no emotion in it at all.

Then of course there was The Wiz audition. Anyone off the street could have sang it the way she did, but she had it in her head that she was the best.
