While acting, she was better than good. She was clearly a professional actress. Not the kinda performance where you'd say, "Wow, she could do a straight show," although she's stretching her own boundaries so much and received good notices for the Victoria Clark role in THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA...
... but her singing was just so gorgeous that you really didn't care.
And this is where I'll say that an operatically trained voice shines -- it's in a live performance. She didn't even need that body mic, clearly, to fill the house with sound, and it was truly lovely.
