Oh, this is a great twist...what a grand final line, too... I mean, you can j-o-i-n this Hymn of One...right? Kind of a wink-wink-nudge-nudge thing! Superb! Attitude with attitude!
Diane, or cher, or even chershaytoute, but "Hey, you!" works, too...

I kinda felt that miss "Jennifer Alondra"s"acting" was a little over the top, as well... (if it was even acting at all...) I guess her attitude would fit in with The Order quite well, but then again, what would I really know about The Order?

I mean, it's one thing to have pride in yourself, but she's something else. If it weren't for the fact that she knows her lyric writing sucks. Though, I have no idea where she got the notion that if she did the ceremony that she would get help from The Order or the HoO with her "career"?? That she would suddenly get help from somewhere, and ultimately that such would miraculously deem her... "famous"

I think an idea like that could be interesting: The three of them trying to save someone who didn't wish to be saved.

And in any case, if there is a new girl, she shouldn't be a copy of Bree. Since Bree's all about not doing the ceremony ... to be different, they might have to be less opposed to it, if not even enthusiastic about it.

She probably got the idea from the Order hooking Alex up with a fashion job. It probably made her think that Finn (the musician at the party in the "Uncle Dan" videos) got help from them too.

I like Alondra. Growing up I had a friend who wanted to be a singer and she acted "over the top" too in order to get people to constantly pay attention to her.

I think this character story is interesting because it involves a girl NOT in the Hymn of One. Can't wait for more!

You're most probably right, but in the video "Alex is..." didn't Alex say that she wanted to be a photographer, not a fashion designer? Or has that been debunked as another "Order-placed" lie? I wouldn't really see that as the Order "helping" one with their preferred career but them telling one what career they will have... or else.

That being the case, it could be questionable whether the Order would help miss Alondra become a famous musician.

How would Bree save a girl who doesn't want her help? This is exactly the kind of thing I was suggesting about a week ago. The series doesn't need Bree 2.0 - she should be a foil that's more of an opposite.
I really like the idea of Bree having some kind of foil. it would really add to the story if they had to convince a girl to change. or if they were even able to start to see things from another point of view to really see what the order is all about. We got a little bit of that from Alex, but not a lot because they didn't trust her. i just think it would be a fascinating change. also that would work with Bree's "Blog Girl" video.
Be happy, it's a good day!

She is alright
Her acting is a bit to much for me to handle
Like she is trying to hard.
The idea is great.
Having a girl wanting to do the cermony, and BDJ saving her, I think that would work out greatly.
It would be harder to save her, and therefore, more videos
If she was willing to giv it up so easily, then that it would be Bree all over again.
I don't know if she can be canon though, sorry
