| They probably changed the keys for Chenoweth because they thought people couldn't handle hearing a soprano's high notes (and Marion doesn't even go that high!). There aren't many legit classical voices on network tv anymore like when they used be featured regularly on "The Tonight Show", variety shows, etc. A recent car commercial featuring one of Mozart's "Queen of the Night" arias features a soprano so softened from intent of the fiery Queen's aria to almost sound like it's been computer-altered to sound like human muzak. So the powers that be do stupid things like lowering the only principal soprano in a show famous for having one (Barbara Cook, Shirley Jones), even when they have someone more than up to singing it as written. |
