I love Alex, but I missed them three times in Once on this Island. The score may not be written to kill their voice, but the power and intensity with which they sing has to be hard to sustain.

I mean, it's ONE song.

Patti sang equally as difficult and powerfully in Evita... Through an entire show.

JHol and Lillias did the same in Dreamgirls.

Heather Headley had a great track record in Aida.

Unless Alex is not taking good care pre and post show or is simply singing wrong, Shucked shouldn't be problematic.

Variety reported last Tuesday that Alex Newell is scheduled to perform ''Independently Owned'' from ''Shucked'' on NBC's ''The Voice'' tonight (5/22).

Is this still happening or has it been rescheduled? Getting this kind of national exposure would be quite a coup for both Newell and ''Shucked.''
