ALANIS MORISSETTE, ‘Dogma’ As God, the sound of her voice can cause a mortal’s head to explode. She didn’t do that on television.

GLORIA ESTEFAN, ‘Music of the Heart’ Playing a school teacher who fights for music, well, the words get in the way

JEWEL, ‘Ride with the Devil’ Reviewers say she ‘can’t project’ as a young Civil War widow. But folk singers usually don’t shout.

MARIAH CAREY, ‘The Bachelor’ She plays a narcissistic opera singer who used to date a wealthy playboy. A real stretch for her.
