Vocal flubs on cast recordings.... — Page 2

Touch...it's so funny that you mention "Unexpected Song" since one of my voice students and I were just discussing this today. She's so shrill..plus she just sounds unsure that she's hit the correct note. I know it's a suspension against the accompaniment, and eventually it resolves, but it shouldn't sound WRONG.

Also...I always thought it awkward that there was no "ring" when they say "the phone rings" on the Rent OBC.

On the NINE OBC, during "Waltz from '9'," theres a definite creeeEEEEAAAKKKK! from an orchestra member's chair.

singingwendy... i haven't seen the stage show in a while but I don't believe there is an actual phone ring during the beginning

End of "Your Eyes" on the OBCR, Adam sings "I have always love you" (as opposed to "loved")

On the Assassins revival CD, you hear a page turn or Alex Gemignani clearing his throat in the very beginning of "Unworthy of Your Love".

The cough on the Sweeney CD must be intentional. It is so blatant and loud that it must be there for a reason.

There are all sorts of interesting flubs on the Les Mis 10th Anniversary concert, but that's to be expected.

On the final ensemble harmony on the Wicked cast recording, one woman is so sharp its ear piercing.

On the new Joseph tour cast recording, there are all sorts of flubs. Amy's vocals are too loud in a few spots (the recording actually cracks), and her voice cracks a bit during "Pharaoh's Story". And, we won't go into Patrick Cassidy's pronunciation of the word "Every".

One of my favorites is Stanley Prager as Prez losing his voice on "A year's supply of gasoline" in "7 1/2 Cents" on the OBC of The Pajama Game.

This always struck me as curious because on the original LP release he didn't have that problem bit both CD editions use a different take.

Same thing with MISS LIBERTY..many (if not ALL) the takes on the CD are different from the ones heard on the original 78 RPM and LP releases and the singer in "The Most Expensive Statue..." loses his voice in the take herad on the Cd.

I have no idea, but I sure loved listening to "On any Thunday"

It's not a vocal flub, however you do hear (very audibly) a page turning during the dance break in The Music and the Mirror on the A CHORUS LINE OBC.

LOL Stritchie's off-key WE LOVE makes me laugh. I love her.

On the COMPANY revival CD. On Charlotte d'Amboise's solo in YOU COULD DRIVE A PERSON CRAZY, her voice cracks a little on "attractive a man." I love Charlotte, but it always stands out to me.

on the Original COMPANY
during HAVE I GOT A GIRL FOR YOU
I think someone sings "Whatta you like?"
twice instead of "Somebody with a smile....."
am I right?

On the OBC of City of Angels during "You Can Always Count On Me," someone gives a little "WOO!" after "I'm solely to blame, my head gives advice that my heart ignores." It makes me laugh every time.

There's also this really obvious beep on the H2$ revival recording during "Coffee Break" during "But only one chemical substance gets out the lead."

I don't know why they leave the blips on...maybe it's so that we can discuss them like we are now?

On the OBC of Man of La Mancha, when Kiley sings "Hear me now, o thou bleak...," a clarinet squeaks. I believe it's right after or on "now."

Ron Holgate was sick during the recording of the 1776 OBCR, which explains his raspy voice and rather strained delivery of the last line, "Forward hooooo!"

In the revival cast recording of Sweet Charity with Chirstina Applegate, in the song "You could see Yourself" at the end of the song, you can hear Christina tries to go for the high note and hold it, but just as you are about to hear her do it, the mix cuts it off and then you just hear her speak the last word! I thought that was kind of funny!

I thought Stephen Anderson (Reverend Moore on the OBCR) WAS the replacement. Didn't he replace Martin Vidnovic while the show was still out of town?
