There very different performers, so i don't see how you can compare them. they're apples and oranges.

I always prefer anyone who can juggle cats - not an easy feat. (ASPCA disclaimer: in a non-harmful way, of course, that the cats find fun like an amusement park, and not hurtful).

Apples and oranges, but I have to go with Donna. Though Bernadette was my first "diva crush", Donna just touches me more. Plus, Passion changed my life.

Yeah, this is a silly thread. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

They're both so different and are suited for different kinds of roles. I guess I *can* say this: I'd be more excited about seeing Bernadette in concert than I would Donna, but when it comes to roles in musicals? Depends on the role.

Love them both, for different reasons.
