"3 years ago, when she began this journey, she never realized the THOUSANDS OF LIVES she'd change forever!"

Hahahaha- OMG- I think I never was so still. I couldn't laugh, I couldn't cry- I just sat here with my mouth wide open. I've never seen Wicked but I'm sure it's a great show. I'm sure Idina is a nice person..etc... but to see this video is SAD. I'd like to e-mail the person that made this video and sing "There is life Outside your apartment" from Avenue Q. Like seriously, I am one to get totally obsessed but not even I would go to such extremes. Even the candle light thing wouldn't cross my mind. As someone said...I feel like I am sitting shiva. Thats soo true. I mean, when Kennedy died there wasn't even this much drama and Idina (no offence to anyone) is not anything like Kennedy. And Idina didn't even die!

You guys are soo funny! I love the green bracelet idea with the stamp on it. So, it sounds absolutely ridiculous but I bet you could make a living off selling them! Jeez, I tell you...CRAZY!

I think I am still in shock from seeing this. It almost is a bad thing to do and offensive because if people who don't know the "real story" may think she died. Plus, if Idina saw that...I don't even want to begin to think of her reaction....

I think a nice addition to the tribute would be Taye singing: "The King of Broadway"

I can see it now...:"I used to be the King..."

Seriously, that was the FUNNIEST thing I've seen all day. Talk about over dramatic. That was more melo-dramatic than Phantom of the Opera. The person who made that has too much free time.

This gave TGIF and I the best idea, since we're in the mood to make fun of insanity. Stay tuned for our latest creation....

this video isnt half as scary as the awful picture of eden espinosa on the front page of broadwayworld.com and which is currently Tiny_Toon's avatar.

now THAT'S SCARY! Updated On: 1/16/05 at 05:52 PM

Yep...that was a wee bit scary! But I did enjoy the instrumental music and may just have to buy the karakoe cds.

Well, I happened to like it. I think the person who made it put a lot of time into it and they did a great job!

Where can I send my condolences to Taye?

i actually think it was a sweet video!....a little obsessive, but sweet

I'm a fan of Idina and all, but that's just really wierd! I maybe a fan but I would never do that. We should be celebrating because after all it was time for her to move on to something even better (even thought Wicked was awsome!) I'm excited for the Rent movie!

[NYCbabe3789]

Posted: 1/16/05 at 8:32pm

I don't know...I thought it was sort of sweet. This person was obviously very moved by Idina's performance, and I don't think that's anything to be ashamed of. It might not be everyone's idea of a good way to spend one's time, but it meant a lot to her and she (like many others) was inspired and changed by her Wicked/Idina experience.

I do agree that the candle vigil is inappropriate, however.

I saw that on musicals.net and thought that she died. It was seriously too much.

ladies and gentlemen, i just found a video tribute to share with you about alice- she too fell down a hole. It's tragic. And she was almost beheaded.

[Dreamcatcher]

I sincerely hope that if I ever get to a point where I'm semi well known in the theatre world and I break an ankle or something, people dont start holding memorials and send HUGE wreaths of flowers to my house saying "R.I.P. Mika, We knew you well."

Honestly, Idina isn't dead nor is she even remotely in danger of dying. It's a RIB! In all truth the crack is probably as long as my fingernail. Don't get me wrong, I hope she's feeling better but I just find it immensly entertaining that people are treating it like she was a murder victim.

RIP Idina Menzel as Elphaba (10/30/03 - 1/8/05)

Someone found out how to use Windows Movie Maker...

i think you are all missing the point of the video. i don't think this fan's intentions were to compile a video because of Idina's accident. I think this fan compiled it in honor of her last performance in "Wicked". Of course he would have had to add a clip in regards to the accident but that wasn't the point of the video. If you read the captions accompanying the video you will clearly see that wasn't the case. Idina obviously inspired this person and this person has a great admiration for her. So in the long run is this person causing anyone any harm? No. I'm sure there are others on this board who are fans of a particular show and/or performer and collect everything and anything that comes in connection to that particular show and/or performer. This was just this fan's way of showing Idina his appreciation, and I honestly can't see anything wrong with that.

All of us at one point of our lives have someone that inspires us, someone we can look up to. If Idina is that person to this particular fan then so be it. A performer who inspires others should not be overlooked or diminished.

how do you make videos like that?

[personB]

Posted: 1/16/05 at 9:11pm

Wow. Uhm... Doesn't it take a while to make videos that long? I mean, compiling the pictures, putting in the background music, doing the animation, etc., etc., etc. Call it a work of love. I'm glad that Idina has gathered such a strong fan base, I guess...

[BSoBW2]

Posted: 1/16/05 at 9:12pm

i am more scared than happy for her...

Oh...Jesus...that is just SAD.
