Daphne Rubin Vega - especially when she was in Les Miz

Just the purest, most angelic voice I have ever heard on a Broadway stage.

The range, depth, and sheer power of Sara Ramirez's voice is astounding.

James Barbour by far... Brian D'arcy James in a close second!

As far as the boys, Gavin Creel's voice is so powerful and pure and even though I will get heat for it, I LOVE Josh Strickland's soulful belting. I think he has a terrific voice.

As far as the ladies, I was surprised to see no one list Christine Ebersole yet. Her voice is sublime on every level. A master class in singing. She's my favorite.

Alli Mauzey....beautiful soaring soprano and incredibly powerful belt! She has truly mastered her instrument :)

Plus of course Kristin Chenoweth!

James Barbour (he has no peer); plus Douglas Sills, Steve Pasquale (when is he going to star in a musical?), Audra McDonald and Stephanie J. Block come to mind immediately. From the past: Sally Ann Howes.

Idina Menzel

I'm not one of those young, screaming, never seen a show before girls either. I know she doesn't necessarily sing healthily or properly, but there's just something about the tone and rawness of her voice that I love. It's very unique and is always full of emotion (even when she is flat or screaming lol).

I have to say, Sherri Renee Scott, Mandy Gonzalez, Audra McDonald
Betty Buckley, Patti Lupone & Lilias White for her work in Fela and The Life....
Gavin, James Barbour, Will Chase, Robert Spencer, John Lloyd Young,
Robert Cuccioli, John Gallager Jr.

Kicking it old school real fast to say John Raitt (no one, but no one, sings "Soliloquy" like him), Barbara Cook, Carol Lawrence, and Donna McKechnie.

"John Raitt (no one, but no one, sings "Soliloquy" like him)"

What do you think of this (Anthony Warlow's) rendition?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v00lsa0_mhg

I find it transcendently amazing.

It's beautiful, but I don't know, something about Raitt's version is untouchable to my ears. Warlow's rendition is stunning, but John Raiit gets under the song in a way I just love.

And when he chooses to go up the B flat at the end instead of the F...I die.

Lea Salonga, her Kim, Eponine, and Fantine are just haunting
