I just wanted to make a general comment that the way different singers produce vowels is one element that can make some people's singing more distinctive than others. We may have issues with one singer's vowels or another singer's consonants, but at least those eccentricities can make for an easily identifiable, distinctive voice, rather than a voice that sounds very much like many others.

I've always felt this way about LuPone (who I LOVE) and several others. I call it "vocal personality". Sometimes people use the word "mannered" in what I interpret as a critical way, but I think that's part of it too. Laurie Beechman comes to mind, another vocalist I ADORE.
