OMG KBJr!!! I thought I was the only one that felt that way about the whole Diana vs. Stephanie debate. You’re ok in my book *thumbs up!* :-)

Ashanti gave a D-List rendition to an A-List song. They couldn’t have found a better singer and actress to play Dorothy? I hope to God Ashanti is not the choice for the role when they inevitably create a big-screen remake. That would be such a lackluster affair. Hate on Diana if you want to, I think she was superb in her role and with her singing. I never was a big fan of the Ms. Mills version.

And not to be a stickler IPS, but if I recall correctly Lizz Wright did a masterful cover of “Soon As I Get Home” not “Home”, those are two different songs. Nevertheless she was great, and I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one out there who is a great fan of Ms. Wright.

I gonna have to give her a thumbs down. She didn’t sound bab, but that was just boring. I guess I’m camparing her to Jamia Simone Nash (youtube it) who, as a little girl, did this song and had so much swag … if a kid can bring some attitude so could have she.
