Did Idina participate in a LB workshop ever?

Listen from 6:08-6:12 and LISTEN TO THE PHRASE "CHINA'S ARMY'S ON ALERT!"

It sounds EXACTLY like her. Did she participate? It seems strange that it would.

By the way, this demo was hilarious, with the tutor person, and CULA and the dad's weird accent and when Elle (it wasn't LBB or Kerry, I can tell) says "Really ... No!!!" and the stupid "OHHHHHKAY." It was just a little too happy. Enjoyable, but strange. But, I'm serious about the Idina thing. It sounds JUST like her.

Yeah, if you listen to Elle! Listen to the part I told you to listen to or else it makes me seem like an idiot! It sounds JUST like her (China's army's on alert).

I don't hear the similarity, but I really want to know who this woman is... she has an odd little lisp, and her voice isn't necessarily totally terrible, but it's very different from what I was expecting. The riffs on "Love can conquer all" are disgusting, but there are a few places that sound pretty great... I don't get the whole middle part, either.

MTF3 listens to Cast Recording tracks backwards, to listen to a demon's voice.

Obviously, no one got it. Okay. The person who says "China's army's on alert" IS NOT ELLE. It is an ensemble member. I think that she sounds like Idina Menzel. I do NOT think that the Elle sounds like Idina AT ALL. LISTEN TO THAT SECTION! NOT THE WHOLE SONG (well, you can, but don't try to compare it to Idina). I didn't say ESPECIALLY in that part, I said IN THAT PART. It sounds very much like Idina, but only that person. NOT ELLE! Listen to "China's army's on alert." How many times do I have to say it?

No, no, don't worry, mtf3. I gotcha. I meant that I don't see the similarity in that particular phrase, but I'd be curious to know who plays Elle. The person who said "China's army's on alert" sounds sliiiightly like Idina Menzel, but I don't think she sounds enough like her to actually BE her. (Though I bet the poor demo ensemble member would be tickled pink to be compared to Ms. Menzel!)

We understood what you meant, but we don't hear the similarity, besides, why would a star like Idina do a role as an ensemble member for a workshop of Legally Blonde, she is way above that!

It sounds JUST like her. I am not joking. At all. It sounds like, in "Wicked," when she would sing/yell/scream/say "UP HERE! IT'S ME!!!!!!!"

How can you not get it?

It starts at 6:10, by the way. Maybe that's why. If you listened to 6:08.

mtf3, why would a star like Idina Menzel go do a workshop of Legally Blonde playing the role of an ensemble member, that makes no sense.

I'm sure it's hard for you to accept that maybe everyone doesn't hear what you hear. It's ok.

She sounds like her a little bit. It's not "exactly" like her.

I was not suggesting that Idina actually participated. I was just kidding. But it sounds JUST like her. EXACTLY. IDENTICAL.

Finally, people are actually listening to the right part.

No. People were always listening to the right part.

Does the fact that people don't agree with you mean that they must have listened to the wrong part?

It does not sound like Idina at all, even in that one snippet.

Who is singing for Elle? I know Kerry Butler sang as Elle in some demos, but it is not her, and this is definitely not Laura Bell Bundy.

Okay, since I'm the only one who thought it was Idina, let's change the subject to quoting funny/stupid lyrics from this.

"You will see you're getting all of this and a train"

That was really random and made my night!

Okay...

This thread is pointless.
