Nikki Blonsky @ Thanksgiving Day Parade
Fri, 23 November 2007 at 3:06 am
Nikki Blonsky and the fake Zac Efron transport back to the 60’s on the “Great American Diner” float during Thursday’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Nikki, who turned 19 earlier this month, and the dancers from Hairspray sang and danced to a rousing performance of “You Can’t Stop The Beat.”
The fake Zikki and the rest of the Hair Hoppers also helped promote the November 20 DVD release of Hairspray.
Watch their Thanksgiving Day performance below!

Nikki deserves all the praise and support she can get. Whether she is with Zac or not, she deserves to be known for her immense talent and not just by who her friends are.
Here’s to hoping she has many more successes to come (and Zac cheers up).
Oh yeah. I saw that. I also recorded it. It’s gonna be on you tube soon.

Nick Baga is hot. Zac Efron is HOTTER!
JJ Your rockin with these Nikki posts..I usually would never watch the parade but of course I did for Nikki and she totally rocked! Lock the zikki comment too…too bad it was fake zikki…real zikki is just magic! Thanks!
I also watched the parade just for Nikki. That really made us wait for her. lol. I was hoping she would be at the beginning so I wouldn’t have to watch the whole thing.
I am also loving that fact that Jared is finally posting on Nikki.
And Nikki deserves all award and recognition she can get. She’s so talented and really just very inspirational.
Nikki Was wonderful at the parade. She was the heart of “Hairspray”
and isn’t that the point , the fans that love musicals should be
supporting all the actors. If you remember the whole point of the
movie is changing the world for the better, to accept all people
no matter what color, size, religion, etc. they are. I wonder how
old some of these people are that posts on these sites, because of
how they want to pit actors against each other I for one love to
see that they are nice in real life and get along with each other.
Nikki did an absolutely fabulous performance in Hairspray. She was truly Tracy. She also did a great job on the Thanksgiving Day float. Well done, newbie!!!
Well said 96.
I am eagerly anticipating Queen Sized. I know anything this girl does is going to be amazing because she is just that good.
Great comments ladies from an obviously more mature group then you usully find here!
Love all these young actors and their talents. Hope success follows all of them. I bet they ARE all good friends and would be sad to read some of the awful comments written about any of them.
I am a huge fan of Nikki because her overnight success is truly a dream come true for a gal who over came much adversity and bullying in life. Perseverance and talent have won out over cynacism and criticism. She will be showered with awards soon to be forthcoming and she deserves everyone of them!!
The reports coming from the set of Queen-Sized are all more than positive..can’t wait to see it & her other new movie Harold
Oh Irish what kind of things have you heard?
Rosie, ICA. I think they would be really disappointed in their fans for saying such things…especially Zac with the way he as gone as far as saying in interviews ‘Take that’ to all the kids who used to tease Nikki, because she couldn’t say it.
Nikki deserves everything she gets. I’m so happy for her. I hope she gets nominated for GG and other rewards. I mean this is the one movie and one actress even the critics adored.
ZAC IS TOO BUSY TO BE WITH NIKKI:

OMG! Zacs name in Hairspray is Link! NOT Sketch! u must not know the movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
That guy has really pretty eyes. he’s prettier than Zacquisha Efron.
Some people here need glasses…
Zac is WAY HOTTER than this FAKE
Come on!
About Nikki, she’s just a lucky fat ass ;D
I loved the little spin at the end of the performance.
I wish there was more info out about Harold and QS.
I also would love updates on Nikki’s other movies!!
she is adorable…..LOVE that girl!!!
she is just a bundle of pure joy. thanks JJ
xx
I agree that Nikki deserves all the support and accolades she gets! She is so talented! And, more than that, she is a wonderful person with amazing spirit and kindness. It is clear that everyone who meets and works with her is just won over by her!
From the way that Zac has talked about her, he is in awe of her talent and her poise and the way she carries herself as a person and as a professional. I agree that he, perhaps most of all, would be extremely disappointed in his fans who put her down.
Thanks again for posting, Jared! Please keep us updated!
Also, speaking of Thanksgiving, is there any info/pics of Zac serving Thanksgiving dinner at that shelter?
(When I first heard that he was doing that, I thought - Now, that’s the influence of Nikki on him. )
Flove you Nikki, you do your thang girl, you do it!
JJ, please give us some info on Nikki’s upcoming projects.
And I would also like to see some pics of Zac serving Thanksgiving dinner at the shelter.
I just love Nikki.
Hi Nonna. There was a report about some of the filming on QS from an actor on the movie basically saying that Nikki was extremely nice and easy to work with…he even got to chat to her mom and wish Nik happy birthday
If I find the link I’ll post it here.
I’m still so majorly impressed that she belted this out LIVE. I mean she always does sing live but given some of the other singers that have been in the industry longer than her who lip-synched..well it speaks for how talented Nikki really is.
I want more info on Nikki’s projects too. She is such a wonderful girl and actress. She deserves all the recognition she can get.
She changed my way of thinking and seeing life.
I love her.
Stef-
Wow! What a wonderful thing to say about Nikki! I’m sure that she would be proud to know that!
She is a wonderfully talented actress/singer/dancer, but she also an inspirational person! And everyone who has worked with her has just such praise for her!
We love you Nikki!
Thanks for posting, Jared! Please keep it up, especially with regards to her upcoming projects, and with the awards season coming.
She has been nominated for many awards at various film festivals, too. I’d love to see some coverage of those events here!
Irish, was that the actor who is playing her dad? Didn’t he say that on Myspace or am I mistaken? And I am not surprised everyone has just nice things to say about her. You can just tell she is the sweetest girl.
Everytime she performs, she performs live. That is another thing I love about her. Her talent is real. And I noticed a bunch of people who lip sync in the parade and just in the industry period, but Nikki can sing LIVE and have it sound just as good as the album. She has such a good voice.
I can’t stress enough how badly I want to know about these projects. I can’t wait to watch them when they come out but it would be nice to get some info before then. It’s hard to find news on her and her new projects, so I hope JJ will continue to report on her and perhaps bring us some news and/or pics from what she is working on. Pretty please?
Oh that’s another thing Jennifer, awards season. I csn’t wait. Nikki deserves any and all awards she gets. I would also like to see coverage on this. And I am wondering if she will end up going to the GG with Ben Lyons. She is supposed to if he is right in his prediction about her being nominated.
And not only have all of her incredibly talented cast members, who some are legends that have been around the business for years so you know they know talent when they see it, not only do they have nothing but respect and praise for her and were blown away by her but the critics loved her too. They really love anyone.
I think that says a lot.
*** I meant to say the critics rarely love anyone.
Nonna!
Well, said.
Nikki is an amazingly talented girl!
JJ PLEASE POST MORE ON NIKKI!
You’re right, Nonna. The critics usually find faults with everyone, but she was universally praised for her work in Hairspray. And also by the amazing legends that she led on the cast. Everyone seems to have been in awe of her.
I also love that she sings live all the time, from events like the parade to the international premieres for HS. What a talent.
I really would like to see more about her upcoming projects.
I wonder if she will take Ben Lyons to the Golden Globes, as she said she would when he predicted her nomination back in the summer. Because I am just certain that she will be nominated. It would be an absolute travesty if she wasn’t!
I flove Nikki!
I would also love if you posted more about her
i.e. up and coming projects?
She did an amazing job at the parade!!!!
Amzing performer and person
