Christine Andreas--hyperactive vibrato, and frequently sounds under the pitch. Does anyone else think her voice sounds like it's stuck in her throat?

Julia Murney's voice used to bug me, but after seeing her as Elphaba, I LOVE her.

Nathan Lane totally bugs.

I love me some crazy ass over-the-top vibrato. I think some of you folks are bugged by vibrato the way I am by melisma. I also think some of you don't really know what vibrato is.

Yeah, except she couldn't find the right pitch with a map and a flashlight.

"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

Murn-dawg, Raul pre-Company with the exception of Rocky which it was totally great for, Sutton in Drowsy for some reason, and Danny Gurwin.

edit; to throw in Patti, Charlotte, and Carolee. I like all 3 of them, but sometimes listening to any of their recordings can just push me over the edge.

Craww, how would you define vibrato?

And, here's a question for everyone: when does a vibrato become a tremolo? I've honestly never understood the distinction.

"Can't stand" is too strong... but there are a handful that bug me.

Brent Barrett
Jack Cassidy
Betsy Joslyn

And while I tend to not like Betty Buckley's voice very much on recordings, it's electric hearing her sing live. Her voice was made for theatre.

I'm not sure if it's a vibrato or just a vain attempt to try and hit a note by warbling absurdly, but Michael Crawford's tremulous tones make me want to take a power drill to my ears.

I'm surprised no one has said Sarah Brightman yet.......oh, and Rebecca Pitcher. Anyone whose vibrato is so heavy it causes them to go off pitch in every dang song should stop singing. Plus, they are both horrid actresses.

Yeah, Jodi Benson's was really irritating in Crazy For You. I don't know why she did that.

I don't recalll her singing that way live for "Smile," and certainly not for "The Little Mermaid."

Sarah Brightman's vibrato on the Phantom cast album is mildly irritating. Her voice (and her vibrato specifically) have vastly improved over the years. She's still not one of my favorites, but I admire the fact that she has continued to grow as a singer.

Most singers (no matter how good) don't show that much positive change vocally. It's usually a decline over the years. Especially for sopranos.

Yeah, I'm not too fond of Ms. Pitcher.



I saw her in POTO last April. From what I remember, she didn't do "Think of Me" that badly at all. I liked Howard McGillin better, though.

Craww, how would you define vibrato?

I'm not a music major, I'm not gonna pretend to be able to give a scientific definition. I was just saying there were a few people here who are even more clueless than I am.

i dont know why, but i LOVE Jodi Bensons voice on that recording...i think its becuase it has so much attitude.

I know it wouldnt work for Ariel, but theres something about it that i like.

i also find it hard to believe that idina menzel once was a classical singer. I'd love to hear some of her arias. Updated On: 4/3/07 at 06:24 PM

Not all the time, but often enough to qualify: Julia Murney and Carolee Carmello.
