I've been in love with that CD since the moment it graced my mailbox. Everybody sounds SO GOOD.

And Esparza on the title song? Vocal. Perfectionnnn.

BIG omission:

Jennifer Hudson, who TEARS IT UP on "Easy to Be Hard"


No one has sung like her since Jennifer Holliday, IMHO.

I'm obsessed with this cd. It's always playing in my car. It does tend to have an effect on my speed though...

Seriously, the best cast recording I've ever heard. Since when has there been a recording where you don't skip a single track? GAH it's amazing.

Shoshana Bean makes me SO happy on this CD, as does Gavin Creel. His voice is just perfection!

What I would give to be able to see this benefit.

The only song I don't like is Air and that is just because Harvey's voice has begun to get under my skin from all the hairspray i listened to a couple years back.

Otherwise the best track is either Raúl on the title track,
or Gavin Creel on "Going Down" (with Adam gettin an honorable mention on "I Got Life").

Oh GOD. I can't listen to Air either. I'm sorry, but it's like nails on a chalkboard.

Hearing Jennifer Hudson sing that song live at the concert was literally one of the greatest moments of my life. It was the best rendition of ANY song I have EVER heard.
