Don't be trashing my home girl from Detroit, Diana!! Even tho she is a hard to get along with Diva Bitch (personal experience). I thought she did a good job on the Billie movie and certainly brought Billie's music to the attention to oodles of people out there who had no clue who Billie Holiday is only because they are fans of Supremes or Diana solo. IN all fairness to Ms. Swift the same thing would happen and then more people would know the difference and we might attract some new blood to the trough. Of Course then there was Carrie doing Julie Andrew's roll in The Sound Of Music. I also thought while Carrie is NO Julie Andrews, she did a good job and hats off to anyone who can sing all that music in 3 hours LIVE without a net. just saying...

Taylor Swift as Joni Mitchell is an INSULT! I'm quite sure Joni herself sees it that way. This is a bigger joke that Diana Ross as Billie Holiday. There are only two reasons for this casting (if true). 1. Taylor Swift is 'currently' popular. (So were Debbie Gibson & Tiffany) 2. Taylor Swift is a singer. The fact that Taylor Swift is a singer IS The problem. Logically you'd want an experienced actress who would Lip-Sync to Joni's recordings. Anything else is a travesty! andmoreagain, - - - - - - - - - - simonM ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2014 #239 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list,sendtojoni@smoe.org.
