Posted: 2/17/05 at 12:12amI really enjoy adam pascal's voice. It is just so rough and raw and different. I can't explain it any further but i just love it! That is repetative but whatever.

I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

Kristin Chenoweth- some say her voice is too squeaky, but I find it to be a quality that really works for her. Plus she can hit some amazingly high notes
Idina Menzel- Yeah, I might get shot for that one but what can I say? She has a really powerful voice and her jazzy, rock and roll touch in RENT is awsome.
Adam Pascal- As said above, love the raw, raspy power in his voice. Sounds very untamed and rough but in a great way.
Anthony Rapp- There's just something about his voice that I love. It's almost nasally at times and its very nice to listen to but he can belt when he wants to.
Tari Kelly- Her voice soars. That's all I can say really.
Micheal James Leslie- Just pure, jazzy power behind that one.
Taye Diggs- He's got a very smooth voice that is lovely to listen to.
Other favorites:
Christopher Fitzgerald, Leo Norbert Butz, Michelle Federer, Eden Espinosa, Soshana Bean, JLT, Jim Polous, Elton John, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Amy Lee and more but I can't really think of them all right now.
I wanted to get something that an "ex"-junkie like him would really appreciate and cherish....it's a brick of heroin shaped like a heart.

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive.
"Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot."
"No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one."
Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Adam Pascal definately. I downloaded a live recording of him singing Elton John's "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" and I was blown away. I've always loved Adam's voice but this was amazing. I can't wait til I have money so I can go buy his CDs.
