Another Worst Musical Number

None of the musical numbers selected for this year's musical countdown till BIFF are from films selected for this year's festival. One of the musicals that was screened by the planning committee was "From Justin to Kelly" (2003). This film was set during a spring break at Fort Lauderdale, FL. A singing waitress from Texas, Kelly Taylor (Played by Kelly Clarkson), falls for a Pennsylvania college student, Justin Bell (Justin Guarini).

The fantasy song "Wish Upon A Star" was sung by Katherine Bailess whose character in the movie was Alexa, Kelly's jealous friend who tried to keep her from meeting Justin. The number won a Razzie (Golden Raspberry Award) for worst choreography (In 2005, the musical won a Razzie for the Worst Musical of our first 25 Years).

An American Idol marketing ploy, FJTK was definitely in the running for 2013's "Bad, Bizzare and 'B'" lineup. It combined the worst of teen beach movies thrown together with the heavy-handed influence of Reality TV (Clarkson and Guarini were champ and runner-up in Season One), along with a musical. The film packaged cheesy songs strung together with a thin plot and sloppy dance choreography - - the results were slammed by the critics and tanked at the box office. Rated 1.9 of 10 at the Internet Movie Database (IMBD) and an 8% at Rotten Tomatoes. Clarkson explained her participation to Time Magazine with the phrase 'contractually obligated."

Running a close second for this week's choice was the ensemble dance number "The Bounce."

Lyrics to Wish Upon A Star by Lucie Silvas, Ben Chapman and Martin Harrington:

I'm gonna wish upon a star

The boys are bad, The boys are good

They would all love me if only they could

It's only play and only pretend

'Cause I can see through all those men now

Who am I supposed to be?

A girl who stays at home alone?

No, baby needs a fantasy

Someone who'll never let me go

Could I be forgiven

For how I want my life to be?

I'm gonna wish upon a star

I wanna go a little too far

Need a little love to get me by

Let's start with you and I

I'm gonna wish upon a star

Do you think I’m going too far

Need a little trouble to get me by

Let's start with you and I

I misbehave, night and day

I’m never gonna stop being this way

You know I’d never tell a lie to

Playing with fire is what I like to do

Everybody judges me

But it’s just a game I play

So tell me

Who am I supposed to be

What I want or what they see

Could I be forgiven

Just for needing to be me?

I'm gonna wish upon a star

I wanna go a little too far?

Need a little love to get me by

Let's start with you and I

I’m gonna wish upon a star

Don’t you think I’m going to far

Need a little trouble to get me by

Let’s start with you and I

Da dum

If you like what you'll see

Think you’ll get over me

Then gonna have it my way

So you better watch out

And you should have no doubt

I don't care what people say

I'm gonna wish upon a star

Need a little love to get me by

I'm gonna wish upon a star

I wanna go a little too far

Need a little love to get me by

Let's start with you and I

I'm gonna wish upon a star

Do you think I'm going too far

Need a little trouble to get me by

Let's start with you and I (you and I)

I'm gonna wish upon a star

I wanna go a little too far

Need a little love to get me by

Let's start with you and I

I'm gonna wish upon a star

Don't you think I'm going too far

Need a little trouble to get me by

Let's start with you and I (you and I)
