Who is a favorite performer of yours that you used to hate?
For me: Amy Spanger. Used to drive me nuts. But after seeing her in The Wedding Singer and a workshop of Feeling Electric, I have become a big fan. It must have been seeing her live that did it. Even listening to old recordings that used to irritate me, I have new respect.
I never hated her, but i thought for example that Brooke Shields was not gonna be able to carry Wonderful Town and she was extraordinary. Then Tamyra Gray in Bombay Dreams was a big surprise. Also Toni Braxton in Aida, her voice was way better than on her cds. And lately Nancy Anderson was able to hit high notes in Fanny Hill. So i wouldn't say i hated them, but they did surprise me.
