Kristin Chenoweth - "That's How You Know" (Live at the Academy Awards)

[chickensinthemist]

... did they put her in stilettos?

[BrenHeartsCappie]

@chickensinthemist I believe she chose to wear those shoes as opposed to the usual character shoes one would wear on stage, she just had the soles rubbered, or something like that.

[frostphotogrpahy]

Sounds like she is sick when she performed this...not that it was bad...just not her usual umph and a little catch in her throat. Give the girl a break :)

[Megaapfelkuchen100]

The choreography was a masterpieces. The set design clever. The acrobats were brilliant, the dancers, fantastic, and of course, Kristin always brings so much depth and layers of emotion, spirit, and dynamism. The song is mesmerizing. Her dress is dazzling. I wish i knew who the designer was and where I could buy and inexpensive knock off. 

[BrenHeartsCappie]

@Megaapfelkuchen100 The dress is Armani. :) It's beautiful!

[niartiful]

wow its so hard to sing and move like that, walking.. its hard to maintain pitch... wow! great performance!

[Kennawavey]

I LOVE YOU KRISTIN!!!

[partyinthetardis]

Kristin would be such a spunky and fun princess.

[edhatboy]

She should be a Disney Princess

[usemyfullname]

@edhatboy she nearly was.

[MissSamiexx]

i WANT her dress!!! and voice but mainly her dress XD

[MRSrobbypattinson]

I remember watching this live and not really knowing who Kristin was at the time and I was like WHERE'S AMY?!! Lol but I love Kristin Chenoweth now!!!

[lhubli22]

why not amy?.. :( BUT she sounds really good.. almost the same with amy's voice.. XD

[deutschliebe]

Kristin might not be her perkiest here, but her tone quality is just exquisite here!

[AndromedaAiken]

@deutschliebe Well she is a Broadway singer and she does have perfect pitch :).

[winterstone21]

I LOOOOVVVVEEEE this version of the song! he oldies were so cute tap dancing! ;D

[StrwbryMuffin]

Whoever put this # together did a suckie job. Kristin was doing her best it was everyone else that couldn't keep up. The music was dragging that dude was off key or sound out of breath (maybe he was nervous). One person can not carry a show by themselves.

[puglover31192]

I LOVE Kristin...but honestly...not her best :(

[TheCroeni]

Kristin Chenoweth sings a song from a movie Idina was in. Hah!

[caroou92]

Which year is this?

[thom3456]

Amy Adams' version was sweeter and cuter and more "Disney Princess" like. Both are great though.

[MindlessDramas]

Amy Adams is much better!!

[bcakapinky]

Yep.

[RozsaKietse]

I love Kristen, but when she goes high, her voice does the shaky thing, which is usually great, but here I just don't think it fits.

[dlweiss]

@RozsaKietse

The shaky thing's called "vibrato," and yeah, it's a little too operatic for this song. But Kristin was trained in opera, so it makes sense.

[ciaolisanne1]

Why wasn't she casted for the movie? Kristin is toooo brilliant!!

[rahardwick1996]

i admit this is AMAZING but why isn't the girl who sang it ion the film singing it??

[Gleewicked12345]

who read her autobiography???

[OutOfThisWorld1013]

Better Than Amy Adams Herself :)

[wickedautograph]

wow some of those ppl make kristin look tall.... didn`t know that was possible- me being 5`6

[xXxSkullgirLxXx]

that dress is amazing and the setting and extras fit perfectly in :D <3 Cheno!

[reinedelutin]

I love how Kristin sings this song, which is from a movie that her former Wicked cast member Idina Menzel was in, playing the girlfriend of the character this song was sung to..

[AdamEfimoff]

@reinedelutin a lot of people do not know she has Ménière's disease the fact she is singing at all is amazing the fact she wins awards is just incredible. I would have just given up.

[MrsSerenaBass]

love it!!

[keishab52]

She'd be epic playing Dolly Parton in her life story film hopefully :)

[giannanananana]

sooo, did nobody warm up to sing before hand? i am not very fond of her in this. -__- operatic voice was not necessary. kinda just butchered it up.

[mccallie10]

All I can think of is her debate about the shes from the beginning of her autobiography! "Do I do with the save one, or the bad boys. Character shoes or Jimmy Choos, I choose Jimmy." And that is why she is my role model.

[RionPhotography]

Love Kristin, but why isn't Amy Adams singing this? Doesn't really sound like it's Kristin's thing...

[pmurraymusic]

Shoutout to the guy who totally fudged the freeze-frame ending by doing the arm thing one second AFTER the cutoff. Something tells me he's not had alot of work since.

[ekvk120608luv]

Shes so amazing <3

[Jellyapple67]

Hunk aviator!

[nachtfee957]

Never thought i would say this about Kristin... but she's not being perky enough for this song. O_O

[Figurine889]

@nachtfee957 this is true...she almost seems like she's forcing it...

[aAutumnHale]

I love Kristen and the song, but her voice is a little too opra for this.

[DiSouzabacks]

It's funny the way he kicks the flower! lol

[begood86]

she has such a strange face..

[ekvk120608luv]

@begood86 I think shes beautiful. yea her face is a little different, but i think thats what makes her beautiful

[DannyHiggs]

Was that Harvey Evans in there?

[PrincessAngel48]

after seening this clip i really think this was cute and the dace was diffrent from the movie.

[Jemima1377]

I love Kristin, but I think Amy was better matched for this song - her voice and appearance just fitted the character better IMHO, and is it just me or is the pace of theis song ususally a little faster?!

[Gleewicked12345]

@Jemima1377 well, she isn't being the character, she is just singing in her voice.

[familyfunny]

should. have. won.

[shhab792]

Amy Adams is better..

[jhoony1994]

awesome :)

[SazBondGirl]

Think her voice isn't quite light and springy enough for this one.

[226halo]

@SazBondGirl thank u. someone i can relate to

[stevephanOfficial]

wow. just woah!

[1703cathe]

Amy Adams is better..

[x0yucifer]

Woulda been cool to have Idina make an appearance too :)

[WickedLoverForever12]

The first time I saw this video I was like "Who is this woman?? She's messed it up!" But then I saw more of her videos and I have waaay more respect for her : ) Amy and Kristin have their talents and I think they are both AMAZING actresses, singers, and human beings : )

[clubsnatcher]

Wow she really hurt her voice somewhere towards the end. I hope it healed okay.

[LesMizzedBarkinatorx]

IIve seen this 100 time and all. I love Kristin. but this is Amy's song. It would have been... more.. Enchanted-ish.

[JoaoPhantomOfOpera]

I wish that at the end she do a Cheno Note for us. Like 'He's your LO-AVE!!!!'

[pubear1128]

would have been better if they got  amy adams to sing this song....no offense to Chenoweth

[xXLilyStRegisXx]

I would sell my soul for Kristin's voice. And her beauty.

[erskellock]

She sings with such joy! A true gift!

[kristenhulsey]

Poor Kristin was sick right before this!! :(



[Queerlioness]

Why did she sing this song and not Amy Adams?

[loathing14]

1:35-1:45 she's so fricking adorable! :D

[ninabyte021]

her voice is so princessy :)

[thebickleypixie]

Love her dress! (And her voice of course!!)

[TheAndrew179]

But she didn't sing in enchanted..

[cindycindification]

shes singing stephen shwartz AGAIN!

[obessedbookwormA2Z]

@cindycindification when?

[broadwaysteve55]

Kristin is great in everything she does. I think she is so talented. My son was lucky enough to meet her. He said she is so nice

[DansuLexi]

I don't hear a back-up singer...

[romulopantojarj]

Wow. It was so boring!

[darkclarky]

They should have casted Kristin as Mother Gothel. She could totally have pulled of the over bearing charm. She's just got such a presence about her that could have perfect for it... even if they didn't want her as Rapunzel. I'm glad they chose Mandy Moore for Rapunzel... but they should have at least kept Kristin in for something.

[OhAubrianaRose]

I kept waiting for Patrick Dempsey to pop out.

I was kinda disappointed :(

[Karoliina901]

@talia841951 He played opposite Amy Adams in the movie Enchanted from which this song's from.

[bcakapinky]

:(

[Kandye]

I think she does a marvelous job as does Amy... the reason Kristin has people in the background is because in the movie Giselle was dancing int the street with other people interacting.. In the song "Happy Working Song" Giselle is singing with animals which would be hard to do on a stage...

[sammirocks888]

a lot better than the song in the movie!!!!!!!!

[LiveLaughLove8489]

she did great but at times this was a little too opere-esque.

[BriShain]

@LiveLaughLove8489 She was forced to sing in her head voice at times because she had a cold when she performed this. #toomuchknowledge XD

[LiveLaughLove8489]

@BriShain how does a head voice have anything to do with opera?

[newflava89AGAIN]

I prefer Amy's version for this song, she's far from princess Gisele image, and too old.. But WTF with that Kristin performance with the whole dancers and nice dress and the back up singer while Amy Adams sing the other song by her self alone with no dancer, no princess gown and no back up singer?? Amy is the real princess not Kristin!!

[Astariel2525]

@newflava89AGAIN

Don't diss Kristin, they're both princesses! (And Kristin (in a good vocal condition) has laser-accurate pitch and a mean soprano E-flat6*.) *Footnote: "See Glitter and Be Gay".

[Ferchani]

Y sigo diciendo... recrearon toda la escena de la pelicula en los oscars... como para que unos tipos con sus guitarritas vinieran a ganar -.-!!!

[ProudSpeakerofWhale]

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm the biggest idiot ever, but I just realized JUST BARELY that Idina plays the girlfriend in Enchanted.....sorry, I haven't seen Enchanted since I became a fan of Idina. Wow. Mind blown.

[yvanqwerty]

come on! produce a WICKED MUSICAL MOVIE!!!! COME ONNNNNNNNNN!

[spidermanfan5]

Amy Sings it better!!!!

[Gisellekao]

Fuck!!!!Make the song bad!!!!don't copy Princess Giselle!!!!

[Falln4DarkAngel]

They should make Enchanted into a broadway musical, and cast Kristin as Gisele. Although I dont know how much acting she would have to do then ;) cuz Gisele is quite like her.

[ninjaspiderlove]

i clicked this cuz it the titled reminded me of demi lovato but i thought it was different i was pleasently suprised when it was the same L(

[ChessaMetz]

Like this comment if you've read Kristin's book and know the story behind the shoes. :)

[MrPotatoPancakes]

@ZaxATWTNukefan2010 Oh, okay. At least she did sing something. If I had been her, I would have sang "That's How You Know" and let Krisin have "Happy Working Song"

[AviZa001]

It's funny that you can see at 2:26 how the flower fell off the old guy's jacket. And at 2:37 one guy kick it off the stage lol

[kateandjaz1]

SHE IS SO STINKIN AMAZING ITS CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!! She is my idol! :)

[MrPotatoPancakes]

Why didn't they get Amy Adams to sing it? Not that I mind, because Kristin is amazing in this. If there was a stage version, she should be Gizelle. But still, I like to see the originals sing their song.

[ZaxATWTNukefan2010]

@MrPotatoPancakes Amy performed "Happy Working Song," at the same Oscars and she didn't want to perform another song from 'Enchanted,' so Chenoweth was asked to perform the song.

[itzjoeymac]

Kristin has does the voice of one of the fairies in the 'Tinkerbell' movies. How do I know this? I watch too much TV ;-)

[mizemotion]

She's one of my favorites, but I think I'm biased because I prefer how Amy Adams sings/performs it :) ... buh both are really awesome singers...

[itzjoeymac]

It belongs to Amy ;-)

[sternbergzookie]

And she's having so much fun!

[creeingles]

kristin is amazing

[mrUzumaki1515]

Has anybody read her autobiography, the opening is cataloging her thoughts before this number, hilarious!

[MuffinMus]

How come Amy Adams isn't singing this song?

[JordanKerk99]

@MuffinMus She didn't want to sing both songs...she performed happy working song

[JanDo361]

her voice didnt fit the song

[olenarochelle143]

Shes amazing and cute !

[zeroendless2]

Kristin is a Goddess and her voice is heavenly!

[demetrilord]

when was it?



[broadwayxdude06]

i saw this!

[SingingCatzzz]

@broadwayxdude06 omg thats soooo cool! when was it????

[gwenandduncan4ever]

she should have been in the movie insted of amy adams

[itzjoeymac]

@gwenandduncan4ever must disagree ;-) but she would have kicked A for sure

[itzjoeymac]

Kristin is about the best singer alive but this is Amy's song... period

[12cowwoman]

@itzjoeymac - was just thinking the same! ;)

[princepeterwolf]

TOTALLY!!!!

[osatwa]

awww. he voice cracked at 2:29. I love her so much.

[IzumisChild]

It sounds like she's trying not to push her voice too much. It's still a good rendition of the song.

[justbeingelyssa]

Aww! YOu can tell she's nervous :) She's adorable<3

[hhihihihhi]

@ZaxATWTNukefan2010: She plays Rosetta in Tinkerbell.

[ZaxATWTNukefan2010]

@hhihihihhi Yeah, I found that out a day or two after I said that, ha. But I think she could be picked to play another character. :)

[hhihihihhi]

@ZaxATWTNukefan2010: She plays Rosetta in Tinkerbell.

[SUTTONFOSTERNYC]

This is good, but Amy fit the part more

[LiltedLullaby]

I swear the guy that sings with her at the beginning was in the film!

[ZaxATWTNukefan2010]

Disney needs to call on Chenoweth to voice-over a future Disney Princess or Disney Character, she has a quirky voice that would be great at voicing over a character, or even a Disney villain, she'd be hilarious!!

[lexiedoodleforever]

@ZaxATWTNukefan2010 lol actually she played one of tinker bell's friends in the tinker bell movies. :D

[ZaxATWTNukefan2010]

@lexiedoodleforever yeah someone else pointed that out to me already, but Disney called on John Goodman more than once, I think Chenoweth would be awesome in a feature film theatrical release. :)

[xxhunnyxxbeexx]

@ZaxATWTNukefan2010 Omg, she would be wonderful in Disney! :D

[EternallyElphie]

@ZaxATWTNukefan2010 She has! She was the voice of Rosetta in the Tinkerbell movies, and she was initially going to be the voice of Rapunzel (when it was initially called Rapunzel, not Tangled). i don't know why she couldn't/didn't do it tho. But I agree; I would love to see her do more Disney!

[ZaxATWTNukefan2010]

@EternallyElphie Yeah someone already told me, lol. But I didn't know about the Rapunzel thing, not that I don't love Mandy Moore's voice in it, but I would've loved the movie even more if Chenoweth was the voice of Rapunzel. :))

[nnicole918]

@ZaxATWTNukefan2010 She did play a character in the Tinkerbell characters lol

[Shimimouse]

@ZaxATWTNukefan2010 Not sure anyone mentioned it but she is a voice actress for Disney as one of the Faries Rosa the flower fairy

[SteAndKel]

@ZaxATWTNukefan2010 they originally cast her as rapunzel but then scrapped her for mandy moore... disney must not have liked her!

[ZaxATWTNukefan2010]

@SteAndKel I read they asked her to voice act the role while it was still called Rapunzel, I assume within the change to Tangled, they might have decided on a different voice (Mandy Moore's) for the role... I do hope they ask her back eventually for a singing Disney role. (even though she was in the Tinkerbell movie series)

[amazingme1515]

@SteAndKel If they didn't like her she wouldn't have been the voice of Rosetta in the Tinker Bell movies and she wouldn't have sang this song. They probably just wanted a different type of voice for Rapunzel.

[9raider]

@ZaxATWTNukefan2010 you are a f-ing genius!!!!!!

[loathingh3rmit]

@ZaxATWTNukefan2010 i read she was the initial choice for rapunzel! too bad they changed her

[Dragon1813]

@ZaxATWTNukefan2010 She was in Tinkerbell, she was Rosetta.

[DefyingGravityx3]

@ZaxATWTNukefan2010 She was originally going to be Rapunzel!

[obessedbookwormA2Z]

@DefyingGravityx3 in what? Tangled?

[mayralisa19]

amy is so much better!

[dc3fan2003]

ya know...id love Kristin on a broadway Enchanted HOWEVER i think shes a little too old for the part. i love kristin chenoweth a lot but i just dont think itd be fittin for her to play it. my pick is either someone entirely new on the scene or Sierra Boggess from broadways The Little Mermaid

[Elphaba1114]

AMAZING! KRAZY! "HOW" CAN SHE GO SO HIGH?!?!?!?!

[xxxchris1891]

Well, with due respect to Amy Adams, I think Kristin Chenoweth should be the lead in "Enchanted: The Musical" (if there's any, and I hope THEY will [fingers crossed]) She looks like a Disney Princess here... With her amazing eyes.. Her smile.. and her.. uhm.. size? She's so adorable!! Again, with due respect to Amy Adams.. :D

[nickiejoekevin]

This isnt her ellimant but she is still amazing!!!!!

[TheDeltaNu]

Enchanted on Broadway!!! I can see it now!!!

[1LuvadaMovies]

Kristin + Enchanted = Perfection

[WickedLoverForever12]

OKay I just have to say that I love both Amy and Kristin, but for what the bring to this song on their own. I don't feel like you have to pick a side. I think that Amy set the bar for the expectations for this song and Kristin has added her own little style. I would love to see you guys try to originate a song and make this wonderful.

[MstrMonstar]

Obviously Kristen is a better vocalist then Amy Adams. But Amy Adams tryed to go for a cuter approach. Kristen dosen't have that (because obviously she never played the role) :)

[OOiiSuuuue]

Happy Birthday Kristin <3 I love you!

[elessar14]

ENCHANTED ON BROADWAY!!!!!!!!!!!

[SingingCatzzz]

is it just me or does her voice seem...differnt? it just sounds like its not as powerful as usual....does anyone know when this video was taken?

[Briaaah]

@SingingCatzzz It's because this song is in her lower range. I believe this song was made for middle alto and she's a high soprano. So, that's why it's not as powerful.

[SingingCatzzz]

@Briaaah Thanks xD i love kristin. do you know when this was?

[eagleeye1989]

@SingingCatzzz this performance was on the 2007 academy awards

[Briaaah]

@SingingCatzzz No problem :) I love her also! But, unfortunately, no, I have no idea when this was.

[EmmaaMW]

strange that this some is actually about Idina in the film.. yet Kristin singing it, i find that quite amusing! :)

[SingingCatzzz]

kristins so cute. so talented. so awesome. its imposable not to love her!

[flowertower872]

Are those the same random Jamaican dudes as in the movie?_?

[mitchellsteven100]

my idol<3
