God, em, I wish you would stop going on and on about freaking Esparza. We all know you hate him. Move on.

Yeah, Raul, unfortunately. And -- unless she's gotten it under control in recent years (i.e., post-Scarlet Pimpernel) -- Chrisine Andreas.

Sutton Foster
The current Marius in LES MIS (name escapes me)

Oddly enough, Andreas' vibrato has never bothered me. Raul's does, though.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Raúl Esparza.

Man, I can't stand his vibrato.

Him, Julia Murney and Adam Pascal, right? Same with me! I mean, come on, the Chess concert? Could my ears bleed any more?

Dean Jones (braying...)
Raul Esparza (but only rarely... he's usually great and is better live)
Betty Buckley (powerful, but sometimes annoying)
Bernadette Peters (again, only sometimes)

Mostly, the young woman who plays Cosette on the Complete Symphonic... Les Mis. Like a small, irritating lamb bleating.

If the question is really vibrato, then people like Merman and Paige, among others, aren't prime candidates at all. The most annoying vibrato of all time award has to go to Betsy Joslyn in SWEENEY TODD.

I love Nathan Lane, but sometimes his vibrato is annoying.

Mandy Patinkin! Someone once described his voice as sounding like a power drill, and I couldn't agree more.
