1. The Easter Bunny
2. Jennifer Holliday
3. Julia Murney
4. Carolee Carmello

...But never let Carolee babysit your wombat... otherwise it'll end up in the Field museum, stuffed and displayed.

I think Liz Callaway just mixes, if not exclusively, then she mixes a LOT more than she belts.
Does she ever belt?

Mandy was the only reason I sat through Michelle T.
(And this was after I subjected myself to Toni)
...just to give you some idea of how I feel about Mandy.
I don't know if she's my #1, but she very well may tie.

Posted: 12/11/04 at 6:34pmHow about Jennifer Laura Thompson? I know Glinda's role doesn't have too much belting, but when she sang the "bridges you cross bit" in "Thank Goodness", I was in heaven. It was so pure and beautiful.
