The Fat Lady Sings

First of all, I do realise that this is one of the campest things ever, but I was watching some ridiculous TV show where the children are forced to live like their parents did - basically an excuse for kids to wail about not having the internet - when the current Weight Watchers ad came on.

It features a flowery cartoon character singing Gorgeous, a song from the 1966 musical The Apple Tree. The original show won a Tony for Barbara Harris, and you can hear a clip of her singing it here.

Even more exciting though, is this video clip of Kristin Chenoweth - yes, she of Glinda from Wicked fame - performing it on Rosie O'Donnell's show. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to catch her in New York, but it looks like she is as scarily chirpy in real life as she was as the good witch.



What has any of this to do with the Pink Singers? Gorgeous, torch song, musical, potential solo - do you really need to ask?
