Idina Voice crack — Page 3

I have an idea for all of the people who truly hate "Wicked." When you see a thread that has something to do with the show and/or the cast, just ignore it. Don't open it, read it, and respond with such annoyance. It's a waste of your time, and it's wasting the time of other people who want to read what other fans have to say about the show. I'm not saying you can't have your opinion, just don't put so much negative energy into it. Idina's voice cracked, big deal. As did Tonya Pinkins, and the cast of "Avenue Q" didn't sound so hot either. Does it change the fact that it won the Tony? No. Does it change the fact that Idina won the Tony? Nope. Does any of this change the face that "Wicked" won both the Outer Critics Circle and the Drama Desk award for Best Musical? Not a bit. Peace people, peace!!

"I mean, honestly, if you were up for Best Actress at the Tony's and knew that despite the regular huge audience (which I'm sure she's used to) that you were being broadcast to millions of homes wouldn't you be just a little bit jittery?"

little late, but I believe it was hundreds of homes. not millions.

Wow, the Tony's. I can totally understand this thread seeing as how they were so recent...

I heard it was about 7 million or so. Maybe more, maybe less. I could be thinking of something less. Whatever it was, the ratings were as low as any moderately popular tv show.

For whatever it's worth...

I saw Idina in Wicked in SF, and was blown away. I listen to her on the OBC recording, and am blown away. However, and that's a BIG however, on every single TV appearance I've seen of her singing live, she sounds terrible -- very weak and uncontrolled.

I wonder if she just tenses up in front of a camera...or is it that the technology of the recording studio and/or the theatre's sound board are just more "friendly" to her? Hmmm....
