Anyways...

1. The Easter Bunny
2. Jennifer Holliday
3. Julia Murney
4. Carolee Carmello
5. Shoshana Bean

And that's that.

...But never let Carolee babysit your wombat... otherwise it'll end up in the Field museum, stuffed and displayed.

I think Liz Callaway just mixes, if not exclusively, then she mixes a LOT more than she belts.

Does she ever belt?

Mandy was the only reason I sat through Michelle T.
(And this was after I subjected myself to Toni)
...just to give you some idea of how I feel about Mandy.


I don't know if she's my #1, but she very well may tie.

How about Jennifer Laura Thompson? I know Glinda's role doesn't have too much belting, but when she sang the "bridges you cross bit" in "Thank Goodness", I was in heaven. It was so pure and beautiful.
