Gina Gershon's singing voice

I'm a bit confused reading several poster's reviews both here and in the other chatroom stating what a terrible singer Ms. Gershon is. Descriptions of her voice are being reported as flat, off pitch, weak and overall irritating. Though I preferred Natasha Richardson and Joley Fisher as Sally Bowls in CABARET, I had no problem with Gershon's voice when I saw her in the role. Granted Sally is not suppose to be a great singer yet her non cabaret number "Maybe This Time" was belted effectively and was pleasant enough. I also don't see Charles Strouse's score to BIRDIE being anymore difficult to perform than Kander's in CABARET. So what happened to this woman's singing voice? If she could no longer sing was this not apparent in rehearsals? Did anyone out there see her in CABARET and did you find her singing terrible? Stamos' singing voice is reported to be pretty bad too. I'm very familiar with the score to NINE, saw Stamos in the show and he too was fine. Furthermore I find BIRDIE's score a piece of cake to perform compared to NINE's. So here we have two musical stars who were favorably reviewed in their last outings. I'm aware it's in previews and it's only fair to wait until they have a few performances under their belt to quibble. But what perplexes me is that although an actor can grow in a role as a singer you can either carry a tune or not. I'll be curious what the critics have to say on this count.

She sounded okay in Cabaret. Sally wasn't supposed to be an amazing singer. I can't comment on Birdie, but I can't imagine the songs sounding all that great if she has the same voice she had in Cabaret.

Okay I have to say it. Her "Cabaret" seems to be played like she's having the abortion whilst singing.

I'm not straight so take it for what it's worth but I don't get why men swoon over her. She's very odd looking to me.

Gina should stick to playing Larrys Laundry woman in Curb your Enthusiasm.

She looks like Sarah Brightman in Repo in that picture from Cabaret.

It's just too bad she's apparently not very good in BIRDIE. She seemed genuinely excited about it in all of the interviews I saw with her, she was good in BOEING-BOEING, and I've heard she's incredibly gracious and nice.

Weird that the black lace outfit she's wearing in the photo from Cabaret looks exactly like the one she had on last night in the scene where she strips down and puts on the hot red dress in Birdie! I didn't understand why they had her do that in Birdie--it seemed odd to suddenly expose her in Penthouse-style underwear, especially in the modest 1960s, you could have done it more cleverly with a folding screen on stage. Maybe they were making a nod to her Cabaret past?
