No, and that's the tragedy! The particular group I have in mind is actually worse on their recordings. Maybe it's just bad engineering, but you'd think if that were the issue - and the band members were aware and cared enough to sing the very best - that a different studio would be found, or at least take control of the engineering process.
Had another thought, too - James Taylor has the same issue when he's performing live. Used to be one of his backup singers - the tall blonde with the big teeth - was way over the top. She'd get into it and damn near outsing him on just about every song. You can hear her on his live CD. I don't know if she's still around.
