... I first thought hmmmm okay. Not trained. Seemed to strain for some notes big time in POTO and MOTN. But I was okay with it - sort of rough but sexy. Then I listened to MC recording - and I thought he sounded beautiful but well ... kinda feminine. Then I saw a clip of Point of No Return with MC voice dubbed over Butler's. Freaked me completely because it completely mined the sex out of the song for me. It was like hearing my grandma lip-sync over AC/DC.

Then I heard Hugh Panaro and Colm Wilkenson (sp?) and thought "Better, but I like it Butler's rougher voice". And now, I am a complete POTO movie soundtrack whore. I keep listening to it over and over and over again, especially PONR. I blame Butler for two things - making me see this cheese fest in the theater multiple times ("ohh, there he is in the Red Death outfit") and lowering my standards for musical theater. Bastard.
