Ivy Levan should have been Magenta

I thought she was phenomenal performing SFDF and she had a very Magenta look to her! Milian was such an awful choice for Magenta, but Levan had that spark Magenta needs to have and that's saying something since she was only onscreen for a few minutes.

Actually, I would have liked to see how she handled the Columbia role.

I wouldn't be opposed to that either. I just REALLY disliked the portrayal of Magenta and thought Ashford was just okay as Columbia as opposed to Milian's just awful Magenta.

I think Ashford would have eaten up the Magenta role. You need someone who could pull off the edge Magenta has.

Heck, Ivy Levan was the best thing about this rendition. I enjoy a variety of music and musical artists, particularity those up and coming, so I looked her up in Google Play Music and liked what I head. I'll likely be buying some of her songs in the near future.

But yeah, less Magenta (although yes Millian was an awful choice), but I would've liked to have seen Ms. Levan play the Columbia role. I'm sure she could've done a much better job with it then the gal that they cast in the role...
