Harmonious Duos

Posted: 8/4/04 at 10:53pm

Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel sound more than good together. Their individual voice qualities blend exceptionally well when they harmonize and sing together in general.

Can you think of other extraordinary duos?
What are you favorite songs that employ harmony?

All the songs between John Hill and Michael Arden in BARE have amazing blend and they sound heavenly together.
Also, "In His Eyes" from "Jekyll and Hyde"

LOL, I dont think of gorgeous harmonies in "If Mamma Was Married", but what do I know? :) They sound like brassy harmonies to me.

I think Emily and Alice blend very well together. I love their version of "Live With Somebody You Love".

Oh, here's another one. It's playing right now. "You're Nothing Without Me" from CITY OF ANGELS - James Naughton and Gregg Edelman. Great harmony!

Also the duet from CHESS - "I Know Him So Well."

I have an honest question, and this isn't a dig at anyone, it's just come as a result of the tons of lists including Adam Pascal on them:

I saw Aida recently, with Adam in it, and honestly, I didn't like him at all. I thought I would because I always hear how great he is. So my question is, what about his voice is what makes people like him so much?

And hang on, when did you win the discus?

How about Sutton Foster and Angela Christian in "How the Other Half Lives"?

I also thing Bun Foo and Ching Ho sound good together in the reprise of "Not For the Life of Me".

Hmm well some people like the rock quality of Adam's voice I believe, personally sometimes I love his voice (on the recordings of Aida and RENT) and sometimes I think it gets too ridiculously growly when he is singing rock songs, but that's just me. Sometimes I make a little fun of him but I still enjoy the passionate edge his voice brings to his performances! And everyone has different tastes of course!

re: Harmonious Duos

Posted: 8/5/04 at 12:20am

I was just wondering because when I just saw Aida all I could think was how his voice was so gravel-like that it got to where he was hard to understand at points.

And hang on, when did you win the discus?

#21

re: Harmonious Duos

Posted: 8/5/04 at 12:22am

haha, well sometimes I don't know how his voice survives. It sounds painful, but I guess that's just the tone of his voice. You might have to ask an Adam groupie for their reasons for loving him, though...and you know they're everywhere!!

I Know Him So Well - Chess

Hmm, I guess I will try to answer the Adam question. Truthfully, I dont know! I just love it. I can only speak for myself though. I listened to RENT since i was in 7th grade (199

. For years i didnt know who any of the cast memebers were all i knew was that i loved "rogers" voice. I would listen to Glory over and over when i was upset - cus lets face it, its a good song when you are depressed. And who isnt depressed as a teen/preteen. One day i finally looked at who played who, and then found out he was currently starring in AIDA ( i knew the commercials on TV sounded familiar) and got the Cast Recording and loved the music and him in it. After that i bought his CD - Model Prisoner and it was just great.

I will say one thing, his voice isnt for everyone. And for those who dont like it, I know that its just not their cup of tea! Hope i helped.

Oh yeah, it helps when you are hot. :)

EDIT -- the year is supposed to be 1998

Though scattered and divided we are still its heart...AIDA SEPTEMBER 5th, 2004...one more longing backward glance... I AM NOW "TGIF!"
