Posted: 4/18/05 at 6:41pmi'm no fan of teh woman who plays the goddess of love in Once On This Island OBC recording (Human Heart).... out of control old lady vibrato. Also, Daphne goes from cool-sounding to crappy on the RENT soundtrack.

Posted: 4/18/05 at 8:03pmUm... i don't want to be attacked for saying this, but some small parts of L5Y when Sherie Rene Scott sings, some of her vowels that she holds just bug the crap out of me... but otherwise i love her voice, lol.
Love,
Miss Britt

Posted: 4/18/05 at 8:37pmI just cannot stand Gerard Butler. I cannot handle his voice-it drives me insane with anger. I have to leave the room.

Emmy Rossum
Gerard Butler
Kerry Butler
Daphne Rubin-Vega

Posted: 4/18/05 at 9:00pmLove, love, love Elaine Stritch - she may not be the best singer in the world, but she's the real deal! As far as annoying voices, please put me in the camp that doesn't understand what the deal is with Linda Eder's voice - kind of like warmed-over Barbara Streisand... not my cup of tea I'm afraid!

Posted: 4/18/05 at 9:06pm<3 Kerry Butler. Such a flexible voice. MJW on Hairspray..on the other hand....I was...blah.
This is my signature.

Posted: 4/18/05 at 9:10pmMandy Patinkin-On and off. During "The Right Girl" on the Follies Concert he's so nasal and ugh! But he's so great in other things he sings. I'm on and off about his voice, but when I'm off about it I'm really off about it!

Posted: 4/18/05 at 9:30pmKristin Chenoweth if I am not in a very *perky* mood...Kerry I adore to death but lately she has been whining like crazy. Andrea Mcardle and Audra Mcdonald at some points.

Posted: 4/19/05 at 12:46amOddly enough there are not that many performers who annoy me, but I agree with everyone who said Sarah Brightman. Ugh! My boyfriend says she sounds like Miss Piggy on helium. And while I like Ethel Merman I agree with that too.

Carolee Carmello. I liked her on the Parade soundtrack, but her vibratto was too goat like in person and it annoyed me. Maybe it was an off-day, but I was cringing during the Wall to Wall.
I second Mandy, Ethel, MJW. Patti Lupone is ok in small doses. Rebecca Luker's voice doesn't annoy me so much as I find it terribly uninspiring. She has a good voice...it's just...there's nothing unique about it. Celeste Holms, a lot of the "character actresses" in R & H OBC's.
Leslie Ann Warren from the 60's Cinderella movie, Jennifer Holiday (I know, but it's the yelling-singing that I don't like), Barbra Streisand sometimes annoys me-less though than when I was younger, Carol Channing, The Laurie on the recent London Cast with Hugh Jackman.
