i am slightly confused by how the grammy thing works ngl because i remember the cast of the prince of egypt all posting their official nominee plaques on instagram (it looks like you get sent a little medal if you’re nominated) and then the cast of hamilton all received grammy trophies when they won
Yeah that is true, but it's the definition of a participation trophy. It's also why they mean less and less and the EGOT thing has less value. Literally any west end actor could have played her part and they would have been nominated. She's nominated by default, the committee didn't nominate Carrie Hope Fletcher personally.i am slightly confused by how the grammy thing works ngl because i remember the cast of the prince of egypt all posting their official nominee plaques on instagram (it looks like you get sent a little medal if you’re nominated) and then the cast of hamilton all received grammy trophies when they won
the nomination is for the recording itself but, if it wins, carrie and the rest of the cast will officially be grammy winners. it’s how cynthia erivo and ben platt are part of the way to an EGOT.
i don’t deny that - her ego is ridiculous and i’m obviously no fan of her but sadly, she’s not incorrect in referring to herself as a grammy nominee (or a grammy winner if a miracle happens and it wins). it’s absolutely a participation trophy but god knows i’d be shouting it from the rooftops too
her not mentioning the rest of the cast and creatives is classic carrie though.Oh look at that. She changed the name to the video. First it was “In My Christmas Pjs”. Now it’s “NoMiNaTeD fOr A gRAmMy?”i don’t deny that - her ego is ridiculous and i’m obviously no fan of her but sadly, she’s not incorrect in referring to herself as a grammy nominee (or a grammy winner if a miracle happens and it wins). it’s absolutely a participation trophy but god knows i’d be shouting it from the rooftops too
the EGOT thing is ridiculous now - and it’s crazy to think how many broadway stars are “only” the O away because they get the emmy, grammy and tony from doing one show (ie ben platt). i think they stopped the emmy for best cast performance on a live broadcast (or whatever it was called) though so hopefully it changes soon!
is she reading here? carrie, are you there?!
aw, i thought 2020 was a great year (hadestown/moulin rouge/oklahoma etc)! but it really is dependent on the quality of new productions. would cinderella have been nominated in a stronger theatre year? probably not.
Yeah, it should’ve been that or “Cinderella’s Nominated for a Grammy?!” Everything always has to be about her thoughis she reading here? carrie, are you there?!
it should be “creatives of the show i’m in nominated for a grammy” at the VERY least but, like i said, i can’t say that she’s incorrect - just egotistical
ngl folks it’s a weak category looking at the nominees (though i love girl from the north country), but new musical recordings were thin on the ground this year.
she doesn't come across as someone who genuinely enjoys musical theatre to me AT ALL. i think we talked about it a few pages back but she never seems to go and see shows (despite being in london and having an incredible amount of options) or even show an interest in listening to new things. like you said, it's as if the theatre is lucky to have her and so no effort is really needed. same with her completely lacklustre dancing and poor vocal technique. there's just no real effort there.
Same with Youtube. I don't think she understands that her channel is dying. Nobody wants to watch her scream at the camera and flap her hands around. If they do, they're lying and only feeding her ego. I do have to say she's right though. It's not 2012 anymore and she needs to figure out a new way to make videos. The ones she produced (aside from the Marathon one) in the past couple months have been boring as tit.
She also has appaling thumbnails
And tit titles. "I'm in my Christmas PJ's" wow how exciting
You didn't see? She changed it to "Nominated for a Grammy?"
I wouldn't have thought that just being one of several vocalists on a Grammy-nominated album would make you a Grammy-nominated singer yourself, but in the vlog she claims they had a letter from the Grammys saying that as a lead vocalist she counts. So if that is true that they got that letter then technically I suppose she is Grammy-nominated.
Absolutely agree with this! I don’t think she loves theatre that much, if at all. She loves herself, she loves to be the centre of everything and the attention she gets from it at times like this (getting awards and nominations.) When Cinderella closed temporarily last summer she gave it radio silence and didn’t seem bothered until people kept mentioning it. She never sees other shows unless it’s been gifted and she never takes classes or tries to better her craft and increase her chances of getting parts or becoming a more versatile performer. It really frustrates me every time she says she’s not privileged when so many performers who have much more talent, training and passion for performing would do anything to be in her position and yet she’s so entitled.
