pattie lupone
bernadette peters
sutton foster
sherie renee scott
heather headly
the dreamgirls concert recording
the wild party lippa version
i think the people that created broadway the leading ladies and love songs should do a concert called broadway the belters!!!

Posted: 6/18/03 at 1:31pm

strange but my favorite rendition of Home from Wiz is Diana Ross'. She puts so much damn emotion into it. She belts the friggin crap outta it at when she starts with "Living here in this brand new woooorld... until the end "Like Yours Like MiiIIIiIIIiIIIIinnne, LIIIiiiIIIIiiKe HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME" she's amazing. I know she's waaay to old but she performed the heck outta that song. lol

Posted: 6/18/03 at 1:34pm

Yup anything Alice And Emily is Right!!
"Celebrate" "Enough is Enough" "Unsuspecting Hearts" "Solid Silver Platform Shoes" "Who Will Love Me As I Am"

Have you heard Patti sing "Soliloquy" from Carousel? I heard her sing it live. It was worth the ticket price alone. I'm so mad they don't have a recording. She blew me away she belted the end so loud and powerful I thought she would keel over. Seriously Patti is queen of belt, lol

and I agree with a new concert, Broadway the belters, lol

he he. Rob enjoys Diana Ross singing. I guess he is starting to come over from the dark side. Next step.... Cher and Liza! Then the transfromation will be complete! ::evil laughter while strapping him down to the bad in frankenstein's lab::

Posted: 6/18/03 at 1:39pm

Diana from Wiz, particularly Home and Brand New Day, only.

What's wrong with that?? I like all kinds of singers, ESPECIALLY those who can act and emote into the song. I hate those who sing good but dont have any feeling or passion behind their voice.

I like Young Liza Minnelli, my gf and I have a website.
LOVIN' LIZA MINNELLI
