I've heard clips of her in Spamalot... and she still doesn't rise to the challenge, shes just not trained enough and doesn't have the control. I fear she will do damage to her voice especially on some of the notes in 'find your grail' which were just painful to listen to.

[carinaejag]

So yoy say...

It´s remarkable then that she has signed for playing the part even longer (they would never have signed her for a longer period if she had been bad)..and that she got so good critics.

The thing here must be that your ear for music isn´t that good.

[Circusfreak]

Oh yes my 'ear' for music isn't that good! Considering I've sung professinally with Opera Companies and have studied musical theory and singing half of my life... no I don't know anything

[carinaejag]

yeah yeah.. and the people that runs spamalot are so wrong by signing Nina for a longer period. They are amateurs. They should listen to you that know better *LOL*

[Circusfreak]

I'm sorry I'll never understand how SHE was chosen, shes got a mediocre voice at best, horrible higher register, poor control.... my point proven by the end note of the song, which she totally fucks up by taking it down a tone... Bring back Hannah Waddingham!

[carinaejag]

I´m quite sure that there´s a lot that you don´t understand. Nina is great and was totally outstanding in the competition "west end star" She´s got IT.

I saw her in Spamalot last June, and she was exceptionally good. This doesn't do her justice.

How about you don't just judge her on low quality audio clips, and go and see her in the show. She's bloody fantastic as the Lady of the Lake. Get informed before you judge.

[Gotenks7Kid]

it hurt to hear that scratching sound!

[Sebbekun]

@Circusfreak Personally I feel that you are just influensed by how you feel is "should" be, as you've heard other verisons. Of course she has to take tones down if she can't sing the highest notes, but that doesn't make a song worse. It's simply that you are used to other versions that you don't like her, that doesn't make her bad.

Umm... Actually, I prefer her acting to Linda's.

About her upper register - I'm not sure, but I'd bet a fair amount of money on that she was ill, she sounds as if a singer having a cold. And I don't know the show and the dircetors, but would they choose a song to compare the two singers, if it was too high to one of the singers? She had to stay down for the last note...

If she was ill, she was twice as brilliant...

[partino321]

i'm sorry girl. sara ramirez did it better. you're not bad but yeah. she's WAY better.

[thephantom3194]

@Circusfreak i have to say i agree with you, she is probably not trained, she definitely has no control over her voice, especially her upper register and compensates by shouting... nice, quick and easy way to screw your voice over, especially with a role as demanding as the lady of the lake... i just dont see the her appeal...

[chloeebraden]

eep...

[554466551]

So much power and charisma in that voice. I'm stunned.

[omnigeek13]

@Circusfreak they might have goinfg for acting? i dont really know, but her face was hysterical!

[kornhill2009]

I saw the show in London and when I saw Nina for the first time I knew she was perfect!!

[TheMilady91]

Wtf???

Well, Linda was much better... I've never seen her or Linda befor, but have to say the Circusfreak is totally right...What has she done to this wonderfull song????

She's horrible!!!!! The last note is cruel to every music-loving ear!

I must hear Linda again to forget this horrible version!!!!
