Lorraine Crosby's voice is the best for me. Absolutely fantastic, why did Steinman not work more with her? (Did she do the demo of IDAFL before Bat 2??). I like her more than Elaine Caswell, who would be my second favuorite Stein-chick.
I love Ellen Foley too. Night out is a fantastic album and she's such a fantastic actress. Wolf w/ the red Roses bit. So good. And the Want Ad.
And then we come to the Live performers... I really haven't been that fond of any of them to be honest

. I can not STAND Karla DeVito's voice. Listening to the various live in 78 recordings I've gathered... she is a pony of a severely diminished number of tricks. Likewise I hate the sound of those two sisters meat sung with in the late 80s. Oooooh they're probably even worse to my ear.
Patti is alrite, and good on stage. I don't love her voice, but she's good on stage. CC was better tho

. Not that I could hear her voice even a little bit on the nite. But one gets the impression that's not what her most important role on stage was

.
Who on earth sang 45 seconds of ecstasy? I like the sound of her voice too, not that its overly strained on such a pedestrian little ditty tho...
