| "Well, if you go just off the Tony performances that year, Pinkins did win!" I'm going to have to look at it again, but as I recall, Pinkins over-sang and over-emoted in the Tony performance of "Lot's Wife," which resulted in her going off pitch and sounding like she was losing her voice. So, based on that particular performance of the song (which, of course, the award was NOT based on), I'm not sure I agree with you. |

| Yeah like I said he had a lot of audible wear and tear on her voice but luckily for her it fits with her tired, worn and gruff character, struggling through an angry internal conflict soliloquy. And I have watched that performance a few times and never felt she was over-emoting - but I do think out of context, and with the top of the song cut off for time, it is nowhere near as powerful or emotionally logical as it is in the show (or when I saw her do it in the show). However I still think it's one of the best Tony performances, and definitely better than Menzel's, since that one kind of lives on that last "ahhAAHHHaahhh!" which she did not nail that night. I remember gasping when I was watching it when it first aired, like watching an ice skater ALMOST land her key jump but not. |

| I think she sounded like she was losing her voice because she was losing her voice. There was a lot of talk at the time about how ragged she was sounding onstage, and I think she definitely sounded so on the Tonys. |
