Thank you Diva and Jane for sharing the other shows we can see our beloved temp actors featured.

Whose idea was it to have them tour with the real Temps??? Now that's an awesome idea, Way Cool!

Diva you know what eles tickles me is how Otis acts at the shows. I'm talking bout the part of the show where they introduce one another and ofcourse Otis is due to get a special recognition/usually a standing ovation but it is funny as hell to me the expression of shock/modesty he continues to display at each and every show. Too cute!

[DramaLJDiva]

Puff, LOL! Otis' role in the movie was a bit overdone.
Hey SIS, KALISA, I love those graphics![glow=orange,2,300]EDDIE KENDRICKS, EDDIE KENDRICKS[/glow]

I saw Carol Channing in a production of "Hello Dolly." At the end she comes out from behind the curtain and talks to the audience. She tells you what a wonderful audience you have been and how much your attention has meant to her. She tells you how she loves your town. In every way she makes you feel wonderful and oh so special. Now people who have seen that production in other towns said she said the same thing in every town, and, innocent me, I could hardly believe it. And in a way I am right. For many, many reasons she was appreciative of our applause and enthusiasm. That's what an actor, an entertainer does--thrive on the audience's appreciation.

The shock/modesty that you think Otis displays is probably honest too. Even though Carol said the same thing to every audience, she probably meant it too. After all, our attendance was her lifeblood just as our attendance and enthusiasm is Otis' lifeblood. And how could an entertainer not love an enthusiastic audience.

And Otis's shock and modesty are honest because he probably knows the public can turn on an entertainer/s overnight. One day they are famous nationally, the next they can't get a booking in a roadside cafe. Real reason to be thankful.

Good Point Jane. I wasn't trying to say that his expressions weren't sincere but rather that they were so comical becuase you know just about every entertainer loves special attention especially when they are in a group. Otis was concious of the popularity rank throughout the years. That's why he put in the movie that scene with David saying, "Ain't nobody coming to see you Otis!, You WUSH you could work it they way I do...hua but you can't...." The truth of the matter is (in my opinion anyway) that while Otis has a nice voice he wouldn't get the magnitude of props that he does if other members of the classic five were still alive.

Question- on the main page of the info site Ivory thanks you for providing the tip that the dvd has cut out scenes. I have the dvd but I bought it a long time ago. Is there another one out with deleted scene cause mine doesn't have any. Thanks in advance for the info.

alan rosenberg is also on the guardian show with chales malik whitfield. isn't that pretty cool! ;D

[kalisa2]

Hi Puff...looks like Ivory is still recovering!

The DVD I own doesn't have much in the way of special stuff. The "cut out scenes" she mentions are the ones that are missing from the commercial one-tape VHS movie that were in the actual mini-series and on the 2-tape VHS that NBC seems to be selling. Scenes like Paul drunkenly singing "For Once In My Life" at the party celebrating the Grammy, David and Eddie singing "You're My Everything" in the club...lots of "parts of scenes" like that. I think even the Park-barbque scene was cut out of the commercial 150 min. VHS (haven't watched it in so long I forget).

Those neo signs puts excitement in the posts. I love everyone of them.

As far as the temptation movie, if they ever have another motown movie, they are just gonna have to get Leon to play David. He owns that part.

There will be a broadway show in NY on Motown Music. BG has given the go ahead to playwright David E. Talbert to start the project which will be entitled "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" to deput in mid-2003. I wonder if Leon does plays.

[Puff-Baby]

(((((SukkaFU))))) So Glad To Hear From You!!! What's up like dat home slice!!??!! Thanks for the info about Rosenberg.

Kalisa what's up wit/wrong with our beloved Ivory/Lucy NOW!!??!! Ivory girl you best be taken some meds/treats and getting better like NOW, ya heard!!! HOLLA~

Thanks for clearing up the deleted scene confusion for me. Now that I got the glo thang down tell me how do I make the text move, please?

Sis, that's wonderful news. I love David E Talbert plays. Did yall see Fabric of Man with Shemar Moore & Clifton Powell. It was really good. I am so looking forward to this Motown play that is going to be off the chain like you said especially if Leon and maybe some of the others are in it???

[kalisa2]

Puff...well hmmmm, apparently you should know (from Jonel's review of the show) exactly what is wrong with Ivory... o/`..."she's got the FEVER, and what a lovely way to burn..yeaah...what a lovely way to burn..." o/` LOL!

to make the moving thing, when you are in post or reply mode, two over to the right from the glow button there is an <--M button. That is what MOVES me .
