"Plus, Greene could hit many powerful notes in that song that Butler just can't. "
Um. Which notes are you referring to?

Ok. Well you said that Butler couldn't hit the notes. Perhaps she just sings it differently.
Also, after listening to the original cast recording (not new) last night I noticed how little any of the performers held their notes at the end, which to me creates quite an ooomph at the end. The songs on the new cast recording have more of what people call a "button"
