Maria Callas
Victoria Clark
Patti LuPone

and definitely Audra McDonald.

And I know she's annoying, but I think Liza Minelli's vibrato makes her voice so unique and engaging.

ahh Dance10 you read my mind about Ruthie Henshall! Lea Salonga has a beautiful vibrato, and Sutton Foster as well :)

I forgot to add them. Thanks so much.

And I also forgot Julie Andrews.

Renee Fleming....her vibrato is so natural.

I love the oscillation of Joanna Ampil's vibrato. It is very distinct and relaxed.

Her voice is very fun.

But who could forget LIZ CALLAWAY?

Rachel York, absolutely. Her vibrato is so soft and natural.

Julie Andrews, ditto. (While listening to Rachel sing in Camelot recently, I could really hear the similarities in their sopranos).

Marin Mazzie - lovely voice. She and Jason Daniely both sound great on Opposite You.

For other men, I like Brent Barrett and John Barrowman.

Those are the ones who stand out in my mind.

Judy Kuhn and Betty Buckley. Simply exquisite, both of them.

"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

Tom Hulce (Hunchback of Notre Dame)...MELT for that gorgeous "Irishy" tenor thing he's got going on
Terrance Mann
Kevin from YOU'RE THE ONE THAT I WANT (Just those gorgeous notes he sang when they did "Phantom")
Christine Ebersole..just, my gosh
And...I don't know his name, but whoever plays the alcoholic piano-playing guy in the first act of GREY GARDENS. I loved every single note he sang :)

galindagirl2, his name is Bob Stillman, and I loved him in Grey Gardens. Great singing, great acting, and tops it all off with great piano-playing. I also really enjoy listening to his voice, especially Drift Away on the CD.

I'm going to have to third or fourth Laura Benanti. Although I think I may be a little biased since I've known Laura since I was two (my mom did several community shows with her when I was a toddler.)

Lea Salonga when she's on form
Ruthie Henshall
Marin Mazzie
Sutton Foster (duh)
Aaron Lazar (I think I may just marry this man... his Enjolras is AMAZING!)
