I felt the same about Jennifer Hudson and Ariana Hoebag.
shareI saw her in concert this year..went in wondering if I would really even enjoy this...came out astounded at her talent and personality. I think I it was the best show I've ever seen. Seeing her live made me a believer in her talent!
shareShe is literally the only reason I tuned in. Her voice is a phenomenal talent and she should not have to tone it down. And Velma is supposed to be overacted to the extreme.
shareI preferred Michelle Pfeiffer's Velma over Kristen's, just like I preferred Angelina Jolie's Malificent over Kristen's.
shareKristin played Velma was a an Ex-Beauty queen on the verge of Insanity. slightly crazed, high energy and with a screw loose of sorts. It was perfectly fitting and she played the character exactly how she should be played. She brought that Broadway quality to the part, which is how it was written.
shareShe was pretty good as Velma, but I hate how she always interpolates a high e into everything she sings. We get it. You got high notes. I didn't think it worked at the end of Baltimore Crabs-I prefer the belting ala a deranged Edith Bunker on the OBC album.
shareI kept hearing Malificent whenever she sang.
