I searched the boards and youtube and nobody have done a definitive comparison just like the compilation supercuts of songs from Wicked, Les Mis, Phantom, Evita, Miss Saigon etc...
Must be coz there's not much BOM footage or audio available
I did youtube search and I find Erica Durham's "I'm gonna fly" the best...though it would nice see notes extended...
I would love to hear Jayme-Lee Hanekom who is the U/S in the Australian production. She played Celie in a small production of The Color Purple and has some incredible pipes!
