Mmm I'm not impressed with Ramin at all. All his notes are off key except (sometimes) the long straight "Moo's" at the end of a line.
As for all of them, they are overdoing it. They need to understand that this music and material is already very intense, so treating each word, note and syllable with such exaggeration and also separating many sung words from spoken words, sometimes multiple times in 1 line, and then when the next syllable is sung they make it extremely exaggerated, makes it feel very tiresome, overly dramatic, posturing and unfortunately feel more fake and less real and intense.
People need to learn that this material should be approached in a more natural way. More respect for the sung lines and they audience will engage much more. There is a reason why they are singing, because this art form is about sung thoughts. More than 75% of the lyrics and music should not be sung in a soap opera way (speaking/bleating) in someone else's face in a way too literal and exaggerated way and pretend that that gives the essence or intention more power. It does not. The essence should not be that literal. There is a higher power in this art form. Less literal soap opera, more natural opera feeling.
Here is a clip with some good examples of that. The naturally sung scenes are much better acted too. Because acting through song is an interaction of both, not a separation. The naturally sung notes work as emotion evoking factors. Not the forced/overdone ones in the wrong places.
