Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes appears tonight on the FOX tv show, “So You Think You Can Dance,” …
performing the Judy Garland number, “Get Happy,” from the 1950s musical Summer Stock.
Katie Holmes says she is “very excited” about her upcoming singing and dancing homage to Judy Garland, airing on the 100th episode of So You Think You Can Dance Thursday. UPDATE: If you missed it, you can watch Katie Holmes performance here.

She told Entertainment Tonight,

“I like to sing and dance so it is really fun.”

Katie’s appearance on the show is to promote the Dizzy Feet Foundation, a nonprofit that “provides assistance to talented underprivileged youth.”

But what Katie Holmes appearance on So You Think You Can Dance REALLY has me wondering is who would/will make a better Judy Garland: Anne Hathaway or Katie Holmes? Obviously, I know Anne Hathaway is already set to tackle Judy Garland’s hits as part of the Weinstein Company’s planned adaptations of biographer Gerald Clarke’s 2001 book Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland. But do you think she is the right choice?

Anne Hathaway and Judy Garland

Here’s another question: Do you think Katie Holmes was in the running to play Judy Garland in the film, the role that Anne Hathaway ultimately got? Who do you think does a better Judy Garland?

Check out Judy Garland in the ORIGINAL:

Can I tell you a secret? I don’t really want to imagine either one of them playing the screen legend Judy Garland. But – that’s Hollywood, I guess…

But what do you think?
