Here is Mel performing one of the songs from the musical....

That little teaser sounded great! But, now I am greedy for more!

Not one to express it but I be feeling some jealousy here Argo.

Oh, I have no shame, I'm completely jealous.

A little interview time...

RATS! Got beaten to it. I did catch a little bit of it. The part that made me laugh was the discovery of the word "Supergirling" LOL!!!!! I've heard of fangirling and fanboying...but never that.

AND THAT LAUGH! But this was your typical light fare that is entertainment news, even on WPIX channel 11, whose building as we all know was used as the Daily Planet in the Superman movies...at least when the NY Daily News was at that building at 220 E. 42nd in NYC which also calls itself PIX Plaza.

And not just any song, but So Far Away, one of the many hits to come from Carole King's landmark 1971 album "Tapestry." The album won 4 Grammy Awards in 1972...


Album of the Year

"It's Too Late" won for Record of the Year

"You've Got a Friend" was Song of the Year

Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female.


In 1995, Rod Stewart did a cover version of So Far Away on a tribute album "Tapestry Revisited: A Tribute to Carole King."

Oopss...my bad, RobertAnthony,on the PIX11.

Also, anybody else notice, Melissa's nnnoottttt aaactually playing the piano

Definitely looks like she was just pretending to play but even then she looked pretty good at it. Nice song though, such a lovely voice and that laugh at the end, you gotta love it.

Argo will have to see if Melissa plays the piano for real given he's so close to the stage.

I'm wondering two things: 1.) Since it was a performance for the press, and not wanting to mess up she simply didn't play or 2) since she's just doing a truncated performance run, she didn't actually learn to play the songs. However, if it was reason 1, she would have most likely still looked to play the song correctly, but just used a backtrack instead. I suspect it's reason #2, and there's actually no strings in the piano, or that they have a padding on the strings.

The pressure! I will do my best to see if Mel is actually dancing across the ivories.

"Jealous" doesn't even sound strong enough word.

Have a blast, Arlo.

This picture is just...amazing. You can see she poured her heart and soul into the show, and that it was the realization of one of her lifelong dreams.

Thanks, Kelly, for this. My favorite, thus far!

This is one I have to see, so I am going on August 4, which is the final show. It will be fabulous!

Melissa brought Chris to the Tony Awards. Instead of thier super suits she wore Dior and he put on a tux.

Well Melissa performed today on Live with Kelly and Ryan. She sang "I Feel the Earth Move." Trying to search for a good copy of it on YouTube.
