She may be there mostly to give Rebecca Bunch emotional support, but Paula also easily has the best voice in a show full of talented singers.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend has earned plenty of superlatives over its four-season run: funny, zany, creative, heartbreaking, honest. But what really sets it apart from everything else on network TV is its commitment to the musical numbers that have become the show’s calling card.

The show is full of Broadway veterans who have been given the opportunity to flex their vocal chops to a much wider audience than they could ever reach on the stage. It also happens to star Rachel Bloom, one of the most impressive multi-hyphenates working in Hollywood and a fantastic performer in her own right.

With the show coming to a close soon, it’s time to start honoring the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend talents who have separated themselves from the rest of the pack. For example, here’s a recent FanSided tribute to Valencia, who is low-key this show’s secret weapon (or potentially was, before she announced her New York City relocation. Let’s hope we see her again before the series finale!).

This week, let’s shine the spotlight on Paula Proctor, played by Donna Lynne Champlin. She has emerged as the strongest voice on a show full of them. Champlin has been Rebecca Bunch’s faithful sidekick since the show’s premiere, but she’s also shown that she is so, so much more.

Champlin came into Crazy Ex-Girlfriend with years of Broadway experience under her belt in shows like Sweeney Todd and Billy Elliot. She immediately acquitted herself in terms of the show’s very specific comedic stylings, and it quickly became abundantly clear that she was also Crazy Ex-Girlfriend‘s musical trump card.

Bloom and the show’s other decision-makers seemed to recognize this too, as they began giving Champlin more solo numbers that she always knocked out of the park. From poppy tunes to soulful ballads to songs predicated on the dissonance between their styles and lyrics, Champlin has consistently proved herself capable of crushing any musical challenge Bloom sends her way.

Just take a look at “The First Penis I Saw,” an ABBA-esque ditty where Paula sings about her first … everything in the aisles of a grocery store. She both effortlessly sells the inherent comedy of the copious double entendres and youthful wonder about her first sexual encounter. It’s perfectly calibrated to the show’s frequency, which is almost entirely due to Champlin’s performance.

Champlin is so talented that she even made “The Miracle of Birth” sound beautiful as opposed to the biological battlefield the lyrics of this song contend it really is. She’s essentially playing Mother Nature trying to calm down Heather before she gives birth, and she does a wonderful job of the former while simultaneously doing a hilariously terrible job of the latter.

In this week’s episode, Champlin was given another song that combined the funny with the musically complex. It’s arguably her most impressive effort yet in terms of pure vocals. It’s anything but easy, and she still found a way to seamlessly weave in her low expectations for her son. Just listen to that closing high note, which might be the most difficult note anyone on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend has ever hit.

Paula may spend most of the show playing second-fiddle to Rebecca, but it’s about time we all shower admiration on Champlin as being the show’s most prolific musical talent. She’ll probably end up back on Broadway after Crazy Ex-Girlfriend‘s finale, which is exactly where that amazing voice belongs.
