That is just a wild guess, though. Maybe they just wanted to showcase her voice - which was alright with me.
I agree CathyV, I loved it! Really enjoyed the song choices, some of my favourites. I thought it was rather effective way of Cally expressing and sort of narrating.

I didn't like it at first when so much confusion was going on in the E.R. But as the show progressed I got into it more. My DH and I both agreed it was neat to see a different aspect of the actors on the show. I wouldn't want every episode to be done this way, but for this one show, I enjoyed it! :-D

In the history of tv shows, when they run a musical they are out of ideas. Then not long after that they are off the air. For all you dedicated fans I hope it is not so.

Thought she had a beautiful voice, but did NOT like the way they used the singing. Way too much about relationships and not enough about medicine. Show is so far away from its beginnings.

I'm the odd man out here because I actually did like it. It was so different than the normal 'same old, same old'. I would not like it regularly tho.

[quote=sally's girl]I agree...but I think only Cally should have been singing ...not the others in the show.......like you said she could not speak but her mind was still working


I totally agree! If they just had Callie singing as an out of body experience kind of thing, it would have been fine. But, to have all the surgeons on staff bursting into song was just way too weird for me. I think it was too gimmicky and I am a diehard Grey's fan!

Perhaps the singing would have been better placed with an episode that wasnt so dramatic. I thought the last song was done very well just didnt like the whole singing thing. I love the musicals from the 40's but those movies were lighthearted and carefree,not life and death. I think the whole "American Idol" craze may be inspiring the willingness to step out on a limb within the night time drama genre.

My opinion, I thought it was a quite bit STUPID! Too many sex scenes on that program anymore! I've watched this show from the beginning and it is getting out of proportion! I'm sure people do all that stuff in a hospital! Get Real! Just my opinion!
