Judy Kuhn and Lea Salonga are my personal favorites. I also really like Anika Noni Rose and Illene Wood's singing.

Normally I'm a fan of Idina, but I don't think Frozen was her best performance. She screeches too much during lots of parts of Let It Go...

These are my favorites, not necessarily in this particular order.

1. Idina Menzel - Frozen
2. Jodi Benson - The Little Mermaid
3. Paige O'Hara - Beauty and the Beast
4. Adriana Caselotti - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
5. Mary Costa - Sleeping Beauty
6. Lea Salonga - Aladdin & Mulan
7. Julie Andrews - Mary Poppins
8. Ilene Woods - Cinderella
9. Mandy Moore - Tangled
10. Kristen Bell - Frozen

And for the foreign versions, I always loved Marie Galey's performances in the French versions of The Little Mermaid and Mulan

In this order:

1. Judy Kuhn
2. Jodi Benson
3. Pat Carroll
4. Angela Lansbury
5. Bette Midler
6. Ilene Woods
7. Idina Menzel
8. Anika Noni Rose
9. Kristen Bell
10. Paige O'Hara
11. Julie Andrews
12. Lillias White
13. Susan Egan
14. Peggy Lee
15. Pearl Bailey
16. Lea Salonga
17. Donna Murphy
18. Adriana Caselotti
19. Mary Costa (not a knock, I just don't care for the operatic quality, but there's no denying she's amazing if you like that sort of thing)

Too bad "Snuff Out the Light" didn't materialize; Eartha Kitt would probably edge out Bette Midler for the top 5, the demo is phenomenal.

Listening to most often lately:
Ariana Grande ~ "we can't be friends (wait for your love)"
Ariana Grande ~ "imperfect for you"
Kacey Musgraves ~ "The Architect"

Judy Kuhn, Anika Noni Rose and Ilene Woods are my top 3. I also love Pat Carroll, Donna Murphy, Jodi Benson, Lea Salonga, Bette Midler, Julie Andrews, Angela Lansbury, Paige O'Hara, Susan Egan, Heidi Mollenhauer, Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel....hmmm I guess I love everyone :D


And yes I listen to Snuff Out the Light all the time! I really wish Kingdom of the Sun happened. Yzma probably would be my favorite Disney villain of all time. A vampy sorceress wanting to be hot and sexy and destroy the sun so she can be hot and sexy forever. Who wouldn't love it? Eartha Kitt is the cherry on top.
