overemotive

Yet for all his stylistic authenticity, his singing was overemotive, sometimes sloppy and vocally blatant.

“That is an overemotive and unhelpful phrase that helps to create a self-perpetuating climate of anxiety.”

The minor cast members are an uneven lot; a handful are simply unskilled and overemotive, though two young actors, Jason Fraser and Elizabeth Block, as the innocents encouraged in love by the Countess, are both poised and fetching.

The new, the controversial or the overemotive have no home here: at the same time that such collectors as Gertrude Stein, the Cone sisters and John Quinn were adventuring in the uncharted 20th century, Henry Clay Frick, the Pittsburgh coke and steel magnate who founded the collection, was buying up the tried-and-true past.
