I have never watched this show before EVER. Just seeing the ads for it while watching a movie is enough. I hope and pray there are not really women acting this on the day they are to exchange vows with the man they love. This is just actors isn't it? God I hope so, a woman really acting like this is too selfish to be a wife or mother. Love is a gift, that two people are lucky enough to find one-another in this crazy world. A woman more concerned about appearance than vows of love should do a nice guy a favor and leave him alone. When ads for this come on I can't change the channel fast enough, I don't want to see any of these self centered, selfish, self important, spoiled people, in fact, they should be put down, otherwise they will pass these excellent values onto their children IF they are not too selfish to have children. This is an awful show, in fact the only time I watch your network at all is if you have a decent movie on. Have we really sunk so low that the common denominator are temper tantrums? An awful, awful display on human behavior.

BRAVO! How wonderful to see this lost art. Christina Aguilera was very smart to produce this terrific musical. Burlesque is unfamiliar to so many they may completely alien to its appeal. Not a strip club, but still very sexual in nature. The story behind it all was secondary, as in most musicals like Coyote Ugly. Burlesque has received many bad reviews I believe it does not deserve. Our most beloved and successful musicals started on Broadway, some made over and over again like Chicago, the others had much time to be adapted, to take out the slow periods, add more character to a character, rewrite parts, and take out bland numbers, jazz up other numbers like, to perfect them by the time they went to film like, Phantom of the Opera, Cats, A Chorus Line, My Fair Lady, Grease, All That Jazz and Chicago which ran three times on Broadway, once with Bob Fosse as the choreographer; this is why they are icons in our memory. Burlesque captured the music perfectly, the dancing not so bad, and absolutely the singing, the back story wasn't nurtured the way the rest of the movie was, but then, I didn't really expect it would. This generation doesn't not know anything about burlesque shows anyway, thank God we didn't have to endure any hokey comedians in between songs while the girls changed costumes. The cast was wonderful, the songs were great, and the choreography was so enjoyable. The back story, well give it a few runs on Broadway and let a few writers go through it and that will even be as nurtured as the rest of the movie. Christina Aguilera couldn't be lovelier and her voice is absolutely awesome. Cher, geez will she ever age? All though she seemed to lose her singer diva title next Christina's voice, but who wouldn't? How could Stanley Tucci be bad in anything? His performance was wonderful as usual. Cam Gigandet was not a complete new comer, but was great as the romantic lead. I think Christine was brave in backing this movie. When we all got to leave we all said, geez, I wish there was a place like to go to around here, we'd go in a minute. What fun to go to a Burlesque place on the weekend. Someone, please have the sense to open a few clubs like this!!
