Well, I attended a faculty voice recital at one of my alma maters which
featured a big, burly baritone and a small, rather swoopy male pianist. The
baritone was doing his best lumberjack singing Handel imitation which was
rather mooselike, and the pianist was swooping from one end of the keyboard
to the other, and I kind of felt like I was watching a live version of the
Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.

LOL! That's one I hadn't heard! ;-)
There used to be a woman (another soprano, who actually got hired a lot)
that
I called the cheese grater. It always sounded to me like she was shredding
something!
Then there was the "Waring blender" who sounded like a blender set to puree,
and
the "fruit fly," who had a very tiny voice that sort of hovered around the
pitch but never quite landed anywhere...
Anyone else have favorite "nicknames" for less-than-admired fellow singers?
(No fair naming actual names, though!)
