Okay, I am REALLY taking a risk here but I want EVERYONE'S opinion:
I am seeing Bernadette on July 2nd and I wanted to ask her a VERY delicate question. I don't want her to take it the wrong way but it's something that people are CONSTANTLY talking about. Here's how I would phrase the question:
(In a VERY calm tone) "I just wanted to say that you sounded great tonight! I really enjoyed the show! I have a question, though, and I hope you don't mind my asking, but your fans and myself are getting a little concerned about your voice. It seems like it's changed in the past couple of years and I know everyone would want to know if you're doing okay or not."
Now I think that's a very delicate way of asking Bernadette the question that is one everyone's mind. However, I could be TOTALLY out of line, so I'd like your opinions. The Bernadette quesion: good idea or bad idea?
I am truly a happier person because of Bernadette Peters

I posted a response to your question on the Broadway.com message board. I'll post it again. VERY BAD IDEA! NOT YOUR PLACE TO ASK. I elaborated on the other site.

I would find it very rude if someone asked me that. Its her business not her fans and I dont think you should involve others in this by saying "your fans want to know". If you truley are a fan of hers you woudnt say something like that to her face....

No. Absolutely not. That would be extremely inappropriate and uncalled for. I urge you not to say anything like that to any performer. Besides, that's just a personal opinion, not a universal impression. I saw her in concert last October and emphatically do not share your view. However even if I did feel that way about a singer I would never say such a thing. It would be hurtful and unnecessary. Please think seriously about anything you might say. Well, that's my 2 cents worth.

I agree with the others. No matter how nicely you'd say it, it would soubd rude. And if you truly are a Bernadette fan, you would not say anything that might hurt her feelings.

I might have come across like I wasn't too fond of Bernadette. On the contrary. My screen name isn't Bernadette-Fanatic for nothing! ;-) I'm absolutely CRAZY about her!
I merely was worried about her present vocal condition. I love her SO much and the thought of her voice not being what it used to be is scary for me. I thought if I asked her if her voice had been okay lately, I guess I was hoping for her to say that she had a cold or whatnot and that it would be back 100% in no time.
I will, however, take everyone's advice and NOT mention this to her when (Actually, I should say "if") I meet her. By the advice from the people on the Broadway.com message boards, I'll comment on her beautiful skin instead! :-)
Have a great day everyone!
I am truly a happier person because of Bernadette Peters

Ok, wait...I just spoke to Bernadette the other night at her RCMH concert and she speaks just fine (doesn't sound like she's sick or anything)...& her performance at that concert backs that up (She sounded amazing).

as a singer i find that voices periodically change for what reasons no one knows, could be age, environmental, stress, cold and much more. it is best not to ask any singer that question.
