Spotted..

[A15]

Knock, knock? Who's there?
Some girl who thinks she knows it all.
I'm getting tired of this one, aren't you?

Hmmmm....you joined today, just to slam the Bway Spotted blogger? Wow, you must be one of the people she was talking about.

There is absolutely NOTHING in her post/rant that isn't 100% true.

What is it that you take offense to? The fact that she's RIGHT? The fact that it likely hit too close to home?

You just gave her rant substance.

[A15]

Didn't say I took offense. Where did I say that? I couldn't care less what she has to say.
Just got a good laugh from it, and wanted to share it with all my friends!
Better get used to me.

Nothing in your original post implied you thought it was funny. You wanted us to join you in saying we, too, "were tired of" the blogger as she was "some girl that thinks she knows it all". Doesn't sound very positive, does it.


Get use to you? Post away, I didn't suggest otherwise. But bashing people for no reason isn't going to win you any points here -- or gain you 'friends'.

[Wynbish]

Better get used to me.

Did you really say that? Really?

[LizzieCurry]

I generally find BroadwaySpotted insufferable, but this time I agree with the rant -- even though it's about 30% too long.

^Ha

I mean, yes, the contents are true. I'm just wondering why someone who will only admit to being a Broadway celebrity stalker (and in real life is probably the assistant to the assistant of an associate assistant director) thinks they're the one to speak out on this with any authority.

[Kelly2]

I'm still confused as to how this person went from "Broadway stalker creep" to "person with a legitimate website who we are supposed to listen to"?

Honestly, if your plot to get attention involves telling me where and when Kristin Chenoweth gets her coffee, I think I'm gonna disregard anything else you say.

I think Davenport helped.

[Kelly2]

Lizzie, I know I read somewhere that BroadwaySpotted now has some kind of deal w/ Davenport and that DTE technically "owns" them. I guess I just wonder why this would be seen as a profitable "investment" though I guess for Ken Davenport, maybe this is the perfect fit for his own scuzziness.

I agree with artscallion.

[orangeskittles]

In Hollywood, D-list celebrities contact paparazzi to alert them where they will be because they're so desperate for the publicity. Some of the Spotted mentions feel like that to me.

[E.Davis]

This person is trying to be A from Pretty Little Liars. Be original.

[Wynbish]

I thought that too, but they're like the poor man's -A. The PLL -A would have said, "Better get used to me,... bitches."

[E.Davis]

Of course they are.

[A15]

Congrats, E. Davis. You're the only one who caught on. I bet you feel so smart.
Your brains on this board make me laugh even harder, but BroadwaySpotted won't make you any smarter.
Glad you bitches are catching on.

[Wynbish]

Next, it'll be saying that Lucy Hale should play Elphaba, but of course, it will say it in snarky rhyme form. Originality abounds.

[E.Davis]

Yup, I am smoking a celebratory cuban to reward my big brain.

[Kelly2]

Haven't we really exhausted the "sassy Broadway gossip" thing? The only people with the time to do this are Pace students who are pissed they didn't get into NYU and unemployed rush-line-regulars. What we're left with is a bunch of sad, old queens who get drunk at Marie's Crisis and come home to post on this board disguising their contempt for youth and success as "dark humor".

[LizzieCurry]

Isn't that just ATC?

[g.d.e.l.g.i.]

No. ATC get their vodka stinger to go and keep it at the desk, like that copy of Life they keep clutching.

Here's the formula for how to write like Broadway Spotted (not that anybody should want to do that):

Make a statement. Pretend another thought occurred to you after you wrote that statement so announce you are going to have to amend that statement. Write the amended statement. Repeat. No, repeat again and again. No, repeat more times that can be counted.

The moral of the story is, to write like Broadway Spotted you must act as if the Baby Jesus never invented the backspace button. No, as if He never invented the highlight + cut function. No, as if He never invented the delete button. Wait a minute, i am right in all cases. Pretend as if the Baby Jesus hadn't gone to all the trouble to give you the power to edit yourself.

Wah-lah! You're as good a writer as Broadway Spotted, who suffers so.

[SporkGoddess]

I'd never heard of that blog until this thread. Having now read few entries, I have to agree with the above description of "insufferable."

[NotAnotherSN]

Just because she's right doesn't mean this point isn't made over and over again. "Work hard, you're not getting anything handed everything." I'm perfectly aware of that. In fact, most people going to school for acting are perfectly aware of that, because they hear it everyday. I'm sure BroadwaySpotted thinks she's doing a great service to aspiring actors, though, so kudos to her.

[Mister Matt]

Better get used to me.

No thanks.
