One thing that I do love about Elaine Stritch, despite what I would term faults as a performer, is that she never uses vibrato. Granted, it can be used to great effect, but too often it is a cheap trick designed to masque a flat pitch.
@ktank15 If musical theater WERE about getting every note right, then your statement might be correct. Maybe. However, that's just not how it is. No one can pull off a more brilliant performance than Miss Stritch. It's perfect because she hits every nuance and emotion with subtlety and grace. Regardless of tonal correctness.
@ktank15 no, actually it was the opposite -- 6:37-6:38, the voice sharpens for a second. But nobody cares if she's sharp or flat... it's not supposed to be a beautiful or tuneful voice -- just a character voice. lol
No. Elaine ...no !

She's one of the best character actresses in the history of both musical theatre and movies.
