Posted: 10/23/04 at 11:29amActually, Idina Menzel is the worst Elphie I've seen. I don't know many people who like her and if the truth be told, she kinda smells.

Posted: 10/23/04 at 11:38amWho saw the PBS 3rd installment? They unkindly showed rehearsal footage of Ms. Idina -- who otherwise does have wonderful pitch -- hitting a clinker on "It's MEEEEEEEEE," its wince-making sourness pronounced by the quick segue to the same moment onstage at the Gershwin, when she hit it squarely. Unfortunat, but when you play it back on tape, and hear it, it's startling. I must say, it's not really fair to a performer to use rehearsal flaws thusly.

Posted: 10/23/04 at 11:43amI also loved how on the Today Show clip the only footage of Idina they showed was her hitting a very flat note at the end of Wizard and I.

Posted: 10/23/04 at 11:57amNo, she doesn't smell. But the "Idina is Great" threads are plentiful so it's easy to find out who thinks she's the second coming of Christ.
re: Idina Menzel#11
Posted: 10/23/04 at 12:03pmYeah, even I have to agree with that. It's to the point that one can't even mention Idina without getting flamed. Which is ridiculous...but at the same time, there were enough shills at the stagedoor when I was there that I was ready to smash my head against the barricade.

Posted: 10/23/04 at 12:04pmwhen my friend met Idina backstage---I met her when i talked to her online once-but my friend went backstage and said she was really nice--it was kinda a rip off tho becuz Idina was sick and my friend didnt get a hug
re: Idina Menzel#13
Posted: 10/23/04 at 12:05pmYeah, she is nice. Really shy though.

Posted: 10/23/04 at 12:51pmI saw Wicked in April. Ms Menzel did not disappoint. I will say that I purposly went on a Friday night (I was flying in from Denver) because I read an interview with her where she said her voice hits it stride somewhere around Thurs/Fri. So I wanted to hear her at what she feels is her best. She knocked most songs out of the box! No Good Deed suprised me live. Loved it. She did struggle a bit for that last note in Defying Gravity but hit it. It was a bit rough though. All in all, I love her voice but I do have a question. I have been reading here about her flat notes and have heard a few of them myself. I did not see her in RENT. Did she have this same problem while in RENT? Just curious.

I think Idina Menzel is an amazing singer, but definitely not the best Elphie ever. I am so glad i got to see Eden Espinosa do the part, and she was better than Idina. I also heard Shoshana Bean went on last night and is better than both of them.
I didnt think the clip of her "it's meeee" was that bad. I thought she sounded good....im just grateful they didn't show her Tony performance. Dont get me wrong though, i love Idina and i can't wait to see her movie coming out.

these threads are getting annoying....
Geri- It's sad for me to think that you thought Eden was better than Idina. I heard Shosh, and she sounded awesome, i was sooooo impressed, but she's def. not better.

Posted: 10/23/04 at 2:19pmI think she's great!!!! She's like my idol.
