Who would you like to hear sing "Defying Gravity"?

Posted: 1/3/05 at 3:03pm

Christina Aguilera - I think she might be able to belt the high notes. She seems like she has a rock belt, and she can probably make it less pop-sounding when necessary.

Jessica Simpson - A singer with GREAT belting technique (and overall vocal technique). Always sounds fresh and alive, never tired or strained. Although, I would direct her to not use that breathy baby voice when she's not belting.

I would like to hear CATSNYrevival sing it.
Oh wait.
I already have!




(P.S. Jessica Simpson is a terrible singer, with strange vowels, lousy enunciation, and she's almost always screeching off-key. Am I the only one who recognizes this?)

"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

If bwaysinger is busy, I wouldn't mind hearing Dolly Parton do a nice bluegrass version.

FloweryFriend, I can't agree more with your Jessica Simpson comments. Every time I hear her sing, I can't tell what the heck she's saying.

My votes: Raul Esparza, Alice Ripley, and Adam Pascal. Though, I think Norm Lewis might offer one hell of a rendition.

~FF~, you forgot to mention my personal favorite part of watching Jessica Simpson perform...those weird muscle spasms she has. She always jerks around and whips her arms around.

The first time I saw her singing, I got all excited; I thought she was having a stroke!!!


...was unfortunately disappointed.



Anyway, I agree with whoever said Xtina...she can really sing and she's a dirty little bitch. What's not to like?

Judy sings far too well, but i wonder if she could pull off "bad" Florence-style.

In all seriousness, I'd like to hear these people: Patti LuPone, Bernadette Peters, Alice Ripley, and Julia Murney.
