The only star we see is the band leader. The STAR of the band, and lead singer, is not convincing at all as a singer for this kind of act, and why do they give so much of what she ought to be seeing to the band leader?
Not to mention that despite being gorgeous and with a great voice (though I found it mismatched with the kind of singing that this kind of band would be utilizing), there is a lack of charm and wit and star quality in the *performance* as well as in the material. I never got from the performance or the show why the band and the Borle character are falling over themselves to keep her in the band or be in her company.
But I will say I do not remember thinking her songs were not good. But I agree that she has been de-fanged as a character, so to speak. |
