I don't love David Hasselhoff and will never love him.

For the topic:
Ann Reinking
Patti Lupone

Kristin Chenoweth
Carole Shelley

I have a habit of thinking anyone involved with Wicked is awful... I forget that there's actually talent in the cast.

Angela Lansbury, I never hated her but she grew on me SO MUCH.
Barbara Cook as well.

Fix the title of the thread.

Well I never hated him, but when I first heard Raul Esparza on the tick, tick...BOOM recording I didn't really love his voice. But after listening to it a bunch of times and seeing clips of the show I really started to like it, and I loved him in Company.

Alice Ripley. My first exposure to her was the Rocky Horror Revival Cast Recording and I was so used to hearing Susan Sarandon (and only Susan Sarandon) that I really disliked her. Now I just absolutely loooooove Alice in everything she does.

Michael Cerveris - Before I listened to Tommy for the first time, and before Assassins and Sweeney Todd were around, he was just that guy who replaced John Cameron Mitchell in Hedwig and for some strange reason I held a grudge against him for it.

Also: Bernadette Peters, Joanna Gleason, Cleavant Derricks (The first thing I heard him in was Brooklyn, but then I bought the Dreamgirls OBCR and things changed...)

I really hated Glenn Close and Elaine Paige, but they're growing on me.

Kelli O'Hara and Celia Keenan-Bolger who I love now... I think it was more of a jealousy thing, really.

I never hated them, but I used to not be so fond of Bernadette Peters and Victoria Clark. Now I adore them both.

I used to loathe David Hasslehoff, but could accomodate him in a "he's such a joke" sort of way,

And now, well no it's gone downhill.
I genuinly do not like him, at all.
