I'm going to disagree for a number of reasons.

For one, Stevie's about 35 years too old to play Maria. She most certainly doesn't have a soprano range anymore. Even if she did, her voice wouldn't be any more suited for the part than Carrie's was as Stevie has no musical theatre training and a very, very distinct tone. I'll reserve judgement until after AHS airs, I suppose, but I've never been overly impressed by any of Stevie's bit-acting parts in the past, and based on that I'm not sure she could believably carry a lead role (by her own admission: she's not an actress, so I wouldn't expect her to be able to).

And perhaps most importantly: Maria doesn't wear platform boots.

The show whoever the star is not my cup of tea.
But, is there a more gorgeous woman on earth
than Carrie? Not counting the 1983 version of
Stephanie Nicks of course.

Yes I see what you mean.I cant wait until see her on AHS.She could get a Emmy nod for guess star role.LOL...

I still got to watch Carrie's version some night this week since its on my hard drive.

I guess NBC had good ratings on Carrie's TSOM airing and they are going to do these classic remakes yearly now on for the holidays.

And you know she'd embellish everything. We'd still be there. "And welll, I said, deep in the middle of the night baybay, could you hear that sound? That sound of that music? With songs that I have sung... I have given that to you!"

For those of you want to watch SOM on TV .NBC is rerunning it tonight at 8pm est.


http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/tv/the-...069?aid=zap2it

I probably end up watching Rodolph on CBS.

P.S. Due to the snow storm we having tonight . The local stations screwed up the viewing tonight with their annoying break ins and a bull crap scroll at the bottom of the screen so I said screw TV tonight and I will watch the video online later.

What the heck.They think its the end of the world every time there is a storm here.

I watched Rudolph too. It's my number 1 Christmas show.
Followed by The Grinch and Frosty. And of course Charlie
Brown.

It's funny how much criticism Carrie has received from
starring in this show. I think she was brave just to try it.
