The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of WTF
Clay Aiken, Simon Cowell's furry tit pies and even the original Underwood, Blair Underwood, would make more sense as Maria than Carrie Underwood, but Carrie Underwood's the one who got the starring role in NBC's live broadcast of The Sound of Music. Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the dudes who produce Smash, and NBC announced this morning that American Idol season 4 winner and country star Carrie Underwears will be SANGING to the von Trapp chirruns on NBC next December. NBC's president said this in a statement to Playbill:
"Speaking for everyone at NBC, we couldn't be happier to have the gifted Carrie Underwood take up the mantle of the great Maria von Trapp. She was an iconic woman who will now be played by an iconic artist.”
First Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor, then Zoe Saldana as Nina Simone and now this? What's next? Ruben Studdard as Aretha Franklin (I wish)? Hollywood is truly fucking with our emotions and they love it. But I'm still all for this casting and only because it probably pissed Taylor Swift off. Taylor just threw a mean mug at her cat and pushed away her plate of heart-shaped pancakes with heart-shaped strawberries on them. This is really going to drive Taylor into her Emo phase.
Hopefully, NBC country-fies all of their Sound of Music remake by casting Billy Ray Cyrus as Captain von Trapp, Dolly Parton as Mother Superior (I'm serious about that one), the Duggars as the von Trapp children and Kenny Chesney as Elsa.
Here's Carrie Underwears singing "The Sound of Music" a few years ago:

The hills are alive, y'all!!
I agree with the comments too many remakes now a days. But I think the negative comments about Carrie's voice are wrong. She has talent and style. From coming from AI to where she is now is iconic of the American Dream. As well she has stayed away from "the party, bad girl Hollywood life " that so many her age get tangled into. Kudo's to her. I wish her all the best!
why not Emmy Rossum?
What next Gabby Sidibe in A Star Is Born?
"The Hills are alive and it's very frightening".
Please add the word "iconic" to the hated words of 2012 list...
"She was an iconic woman who will now be played by an iconic artist.” Ironic!

My aunt was a nurse in Sydney and nursed Maria von Trapp when she was airlifted to Sydney from Papua New Guinea with a badly broken leg.
According to my aunt, she was hell on wheels.

Yeah, I think I might be a bit grumpy after being airlifted with a badly broken leg. FFS.

You, grumpy? No way!

Meh, it's okay. I was expecting worse. I had never heard her sing The Sound of Music until now. I was expecting some country version.

Sorry, I don't buy her being a nun or an actor.
Who cares about television for chrissakes. If there's a football game on another channel this will be crushed like an ant in the ratings.
Wow, people really through around that word "iconic"...you need to be more than just a popular artist with several hit songs...Carrie Underwood, albeit talented, is not iconic! Icon status has to be earned!
"This is really going to drive Taylor into her Emo phase."
Lmao MK. Now that, I would pay to see.

I've never seen TSOM but did Julie Christie speak with an Austrian accent? Somehow I doubt it.
=================
I never saw the Julie Christie version of TSOM either. Is that the one where Warren Beatty plays Captain Von Trapp? ;)
I think it is idiotic that people get worked up over remakes...remaking it really can't do anything to diminish your experiences with the original.
But this isn't even a remake it is a live broadcast of the stage show. A stage show that has had thousands of different versions over the years. They even had a reality show, "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?", about finding a girl to play the part in a stage show.
Just cannot with her unless she's with Brad Paisley.

My father told me that Captain Von Trapp, in real life, was both a fervent Nazi and about a 7 on the Kinsey Scale.
Sometimes, it's almost like Hollywood sanitises things, isn't it?

They can explain Carrie's Oklahoma accent with a throwaway line of how Maria is from the southern part of Austria.

Meh. I've come to the conclusion things are made to be remade. For better or worse, usually for worse. Tis Hollywood in its infinite wisdom.

Apparently not....... Not Jesus and not Julie.
How the hell are they going to re-tool this for Carrie? is she going to be a Vista Volunteer working to reunite the Hatfields and the McCoys? are we going to get an opening tracking shot of Carrie on a white pony, and a glittery cowboy suit, twirling around the mountain-top? Who will the Von Trapps be? Itinerent potato farmers and moon-shiners? Will Carrie save the locals from the evil Governmint Agents, and teach everyone to sing in Esperanto?

Yeah, Christopher Plummer was damn fine. Michael Fassbender kinda reminds me of a young Christopher Plummer.

I like Carrie, but she doesn't have the right look or personality for this character. Her voice, though beautiful, isn't musical theatre enough. Anne Hathaway in a blonde wig would've been a better choice. As annoying as Anne is, at least she has the musical theatre voice and personality for this.
And yes, you can throw a plastic bottle at my head for saying I like Carrie Underwood's music and for suggesting Anne Hathaway.
@ Snowy..... I love your avie! Bwahaaahahahaha!
Christopher Plummer was gorgeous. Julie developed quite a crush on him and who wouldn't?
Oh - and as further proof that remakes suck:
1. Keanu Reeves as Klaatu in "The Day the Earth Stood Still", AND
2. "The Haunting" (Liam Neeson, Catherine Zita-Jones, and a very emabarassed looking Lili Taylor)
"vaya con huevos mi amigos"
Okay, I watched that clip.
She has a nice voice, but the thing that makes her a country singer sneaks in quite often. She has VERY audible intake of breath, and she does too much of that wavery vibrato thing that everyone does nowadays.
She can definitely sing, but it just doesn't work, IMO. She just doesn't have the voice for show tunes (as someone else here said).
I imagine someone like Emmy Rossum would be MUCH better suited, but I suppose they're taking that American Idol/Glee cacadoodie direction.
no one better ever fuck with My Fair Lady. EVER.
there will be blood.

re: the video above. I miss the soaring, long notes of the original. Trilling every other note country-style takes something away from the free, soaring feeling of the song. I hope she does a better job in the real show.
HI MEATBLOCKS!!!!

Bitch, you are not better then Keanu Reeves!
Fine - as long as we are fucking with the classics - lets re-do Casablanca - as a musical. We can have Justin Timberlake as Rick, disillusioned owner of a honky tonk bar in Branson. One night, the love of his life, whom he met while they were both environmental volunteers, washing British petroleum oilspill off waterfowl, walks back into his life....she is played by Megan Fox, with that "lost" look on her face. Louis, the corrupt local poultry inspector with an eye for the ladies, can be played by Rush Limbaugh. Stevie Wonder will be "Sam". At the end of the film, they can all walk off into the sunset, praying for another Katrina-style hurricane to put them all out of their misery - and ours....
