My Choices
1.) Heather Headley
2.) Deborah Cox
3.) Paulette Ivory
4.) Saycon Sengbloh ( There is NO DOUBT in my mind that if the
show was still open her name would have
been on that marquee sooner or later.)

Posted: 4/29/05 at 5:37pmPersonally, Heather and Saycon. Heather's voice was just amazing.
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.

Posted: 4/29/05 at 6:21pmMy real answer is Leontyne Price. But in the spirit of the thread I'll say Simone.

Posted: 4/29/05 at 7:59pmHeather and Deborah. Saycons voice has that squeaking thing in her voice and it bothers me!

I second Leontyne Price.
But if we're talking about the atrocious musical that clogged up the Palace for four and a half year, I would have to say Heather. She is the only Aida I saw, so she wins by default.

Posted: 4/29/05 at 8:10pmMaya Days......She was stunning and had the guts to make the role her own after replacing a tony winner. Then Saycon who I always thought sounded like Maya..I guess I like the pretty girls with the light disney princess sound..

out of the ones i saw:
1)Deborah
2)Simone
3)Maya
i absolutely adore heather though. i wisht thati could've seen her perform the role live. i think that her voice is AMAZING. She brings out the weak side, and the strong side of AIDA (through the cd). i bet she was absolutely astonishing live.
