Must I point out once again that there are two N's in Minnelli??? Anyone on this board should know that!! Shame.

Shirley Jones (in her younger days), Bernadette, Kristin, Judy Garland, Beverly Sills, Joss Stone, Streisand (see Shirley Jones), Andrea McArdle. I have to say (flame away) that Julie Andrews bores me to tears. TEARS, people.

Shoot. That's more than three.

I'm thinking perhaps I misunderstood "musical" in this context - I was reading it as "singers" - now I'm thinking it's musical theater - which makes my list very different...please clarify.
