pete December 17, 2015 Share December 17, 2015 (edited) Seems to me Lea's record label must have been ok with the response since they are backing a second one. And anyone even a lesser singer than Amber or Lea can get a hold of a song that some how just clicks and become a hit. Amber had the potential to get glee fans and maybe a wider audience if she move more R&B a audience not tapped really by glee. Just like Chord would be a fit for country where he could get glee and maybe a wider audience with country. I think it's also ( though not the only thing)a little of that Glee's decline proved to have a negative burden/ baggage cred for the performers as far as being perceived as horribly auto- tuned joke, well maybe not so much Amber, but still... I joked they should put out the song under a different name to see if got different response. The irrational hate of non glee fans and some glee fan towards some of the cast is sad really.

caracas1914 December 17, 2015 Share December 17, 2015 (edited) Oh I don't think it's necessarily all " hatred" as to why the Glee performers albums stalled, more that the dramatic implosion of Glee sales undercut whatever commercial appeal the performers were perceived to have in the recording industry. In other words as went Glee , went the performers. Add to that that even established artists are having a hard time getting their record deals renewed or albums released with overall declining record sales.

But she did have a record deal and I am not dismissing this as a very real possibility. I think for sure if Amber was just trying to get a deal as a complete unknown I would tend to think this was the main reason. But Amber is not a unknown so I have to think there are other reasons (too). Could be as easy as creative differences, it could be part image too or something else entirely.

I can't wait because I love "Dazed and Confused." Also, if the trailer is any indication, Blake is clearly the lead.

buffy11bnl December 30, 2015 Share December 30, 2015 I know it's been mentioned earlier in this thread, but I finally got on the "Hamilton" love train and OMG, I wish I'd paid more attention sooner! I tried to look into getting tickets and they are sold out through October 2016! Groff isn't in it for that much, but he's completely delightful as King George. I'm obsessed, Lin Miranda wrote the whole thing (and started off as Hamilton) and he's a lyrical genius, so many little touches that just make it completely awesome, not the least the way King George's songs are composed as opposed to the rest of the songs - if you youtube it you can listen to the complete album before you buy it.

She seems someone who is best suited on the screen with her exceptional beauty. If there is one thing no one will question about Amber is her "live" singing voice. " The Wiz" anyone, plus the " Cotton Club" on BW. Amber is set for a musical with grandiose emotional singing and a character which seems within her ball park. The "Dreamgirls" songs she sang on Glee; "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going", " I am Changing" and the dream sequence where Effie is having a meltdown she more than nailed the emotions of the songs. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8482-cast-in-other-roles/page/27/#findComment-1930797
