Princeton and Idina.... — Page 4

I'm waiting for an encounter when she's not nice.

She signed at Rent.

She signed at Aida.

She signed more than anybody else at Wicked...took photos until it got really crazy.

She signed at Zipper.

She signed on the Rent set.

She signed in Provincetown.

She didn't sign in Boston.

Bitch.

You have to consider the fact that the Boston venue didn't really lend itself to a stage door situation.

---

most of her fans are rabid.

---

well you're great friends with her...so you're in the position to judge.

I saw the 7:30 show last Friday and I throughly enjoyed it. Idina's gorgeous in person. I don't think pictures quite do her justice and an incredible vocalist/performer. Loved the little stories and ancedotes as well.

Only sour points of the show for me. As several people mentioned, their were the crazy, teeny fans present at that particular show as well as little kids. The little kids, however, weren't as annoying as their mothers, who felt the need, somehow, to shout out random, stupid things during the audience particpation part and at other innappropiate points in the show. The thing that really pissed me off, though, was this one girl who was from Florida, I guess she'd traveled to Boston with her family to see Idina's show. Wow, give her a medal. Anyway, Idina was talking about when she was injured before her last show of Wicked and the girl shouts out how she came all the way from FL and payed $500 to see the show and Idina got hurt and wasn't there. It was said in a very, rude, accusatory manner. Bothered me a lot, because it was unnesscecary. As if it was all Idina's fault that she fell down a trap door.

People like that, are the one's who give Idina fans a bad name.

Wow, people turn incredibly catty when they don't get their own way. I guess I didn't realize someone became a bitch if she chose to, oh, live her life and not talk to every single person waiting for her. The people who begin the rumors that Idina is a bitch/inconsiderate/hates her fans are the people who wait obsessively and who don't get their own way. Anyone I know who has met Idina, myself included, has stated that she is warm, genuine, open, friendly....in my own experience, I had the opportunity to spend about a 1/2 hour with her in her dressing room at Wicked last year thanks to my husband, Joby (her dresser), and Idina herself, and I found her to be one of the most fascinating, funny, caring people I've met, and I was able to gauge that in the small amount of time I spent with her. Just because she doesn't stop for every single person stalking...er, waiting for her outside of one of her shows does not make her a bad person.

I wonder what it's like to be perfect....

I think maybe to help all these "Idina is rude" comments and the "no, she's not she's tired and she's incredible when you meet her," we should distinguish public Idina from private Idina. I think anyone who has spent some time with her will agree that she is nothing but genuine and kind..BUT perhaps at events where there are fans and signing a lot of autographs and such is involved that might not always come across.

I think I would love to watch Idina b*tch slap some tween.

"My name's ih-DEENA BITCH!" ::whack!::

She's hit me once, that was the best.

And, I mean even if she didn't do this, seeing her perform is present enough, BUT...

The first time I saw her was KC's last weekend...KC didn't come out (and I didn't really care) but Idina did.

She signed the normal people, we were on the side, behindish her car. She got into her car and someone called out, "IDINA!"

She got out of her car and signed for us.

Then she signed her last week.

I think she's insane for doing that. Crowds suck.
