If you were Ursula the Sea Witch and could steal people's voices, who would your first victim be?

I'd pick Judy Kuhn, hands down. There are lots of great singers out there who I admire but wouldn't necessarily want to sound like.

Before I even saw what your answer was, I was thinking Judy Kuhn. Funny! She is amazing.

Brian d'Arcy James or Jason Danieley.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I'll go back in time and choose John Raitt.

For a female, Heidi Blickenstaff (can I steal Ursula's voice? hmm...)

For a male, that's tougher...Norbert Leo Butz, maybe? Raul Esparza? Hunter Bell? so many choices...

I'm sort of obsessed with Haven Burton's voice. Or Sierra Boggess - I love her head voice, belt, even just her speaking voice.

edit - And I didn't just choose Sierra because she was Ariel. I didn't even realize that, haha. Updated On: 10/15/09 at 10:27 AM

Probably Victoria Clark. Or maybe the Merm.

for Broadway stuff I would have go with one of the triple-named Brians (Stokes Mitchell or d'Arcy James). For more pop stuff I'd have to go with Jason Mraz.

Hmm...I assumed someone who goes by the name 'Link Larkin Wanabe' would have chosen Matt Morrison.

Svetlana, I'd go even further back and say Betty Buckley in her "1776" days.
