The Wizard and I - Idina Menzel Live Performance

[wickedautograph]

How hard is it to say her name right!!! I'm begining to think it's a talent to say it right no one else can  Indina- how is it possible to say it that wrong

[SailorMoonCompare]

I am not a fan of her voice, but i can apreciate how she connects with the audience :)

[wickedwitch1231]

i envy all those people in the audience!

[lindamichelle1]

oomg i would DIE to be there!!! lol. idinaaaaa <3

[Jpoppins101]

every time i hear the announcer say Indina Menzel i get like uuuuuuugh its Idina... and then she starts singing and i completely forget and have no choice but to smile at her awesomeness :)

[dancydancer1019]

thats a lot of people! and her little jump at the end is too cute!

[tomboy12f]

i have that shirt :D

[sarahmettles]

she is the future miss Ettles

[dimidola]

how's that smiley? 8-o

[GlenRotterdam]

Idina. The one. The only. The best.

[victorials15]

i love her hair here

[HinchyL]

she is so tiny ... tall but tiny! oh well ... i love her anyway! =D

[NaniGurl4Lyf]

<3 inspiring

[0wildchild0]

This is probably going to sound strange, but I love how she appears to actually be singing this as 'Elphaba' (which when you're watching is funny cos she's not all green haha) rather than as Idina singing a song from Wicked. (which are also amazing performances, don't get me wrong, just different! less acted, and different inflections etc)

[jonsmith3030]

umm stephen schwartz composed the musical

[BARussell4]

@jonsmith3030 HAHAHA! 

[campnewman54321]

i literally can not not get chills when i listen to this song.

every single time.

[LittleMissMe2006]

@campnewman54321 I just chills simply when she sings :)

[defygravitybewicked]

indina :(

i love her! She's so pretty! And skinny! She has reall raw talent. i loveee her :D and kristin!

IDINA MENZEl AND KRISTIN CHENOWETH :D

[cashdown1000]

She has a really amazing talent

[kaytee94]

She is sooo beautiful and beautifully talented. (So is Jemma Rix)

[chaceecraw]

Oh my God, this was just so amazing.

[polariisxing]

"one day there will be a celebration 4 me"

"ding dong the witch is dead"

:]

[TheCorpseBride78]

SJB and Jemma Rix are definently two of my favourite Elphaba's, but nobody can beat Idina for me! Not only is she amazing, and can belt with bronchitis, she's perfect at playing Elphie! Man, I love this girl!

[bobbie406]

cant wait to go to nyc next year to see wicked eeeekkkk

[Doggiebabe1994]

I find it dunny tht even tho I live half an hour from NYC, I've never seen any performances happen in times square

[itstalia]

this wiman gives me shivers, every single time i hear her sing

[Doggiebabe1994]

Shut the hell up! Like u could sound ANY better!

[kaytee94]

oh my god. Never speak like that about teh best elphie in the world!

[iLaurenHenry]

@mikalr101 That's not true.

You'd sound way worse. T.T

[DisposableTeen4Ever]

... who ever said that she is out of tune... you need your hearing checked... she is definitly not...

[jcwelover]

idina is not out of tune here at all! and her gasps breathing are much better!!!

[Clarinetist0409]

Indina Menzel?  Seriously??

[bobbie406]

she has the most amazing voice and who ever said she is ugly.... you need glasses

[Greypop2]

I think that idina and Kristen had the best chemistry on stage. I mean you can tell they are freinds and it really makes the show feel genuine. And to the person who said she is ugly is totally wrong. She looks like a normal and beautiful woman. If you call her ugly you are calling everyone else in the world that Is a woman ugly. She is beautiful and so is everyone out there.

[RibbonAquaDropsVer2]

Amazing performance.

[SparklingMarta]

Indina???? DId she said INDINA?? xD

[Doggiebabe1994]

She DID say Indina! OMG! I'm gonna find tht woman and kill her! lolz! jk

[714fearless]

hahaha i know right seriously people idina is not that hard to say =)

[marleelee]

i just have to say few words about this performance...IT WAS F***ING AHHMAZING...LOL

btw can someone tell me where and when this was

[Ailatan1400]

i have that shirt! :)

[Bibifly]

At the beggining she sounded like Edith Piaf the most talented French singer ever on earth.

[FrogFace17]

the musical isnt by gregory maguire, only the novel is.

[13Elphaba13]

Yes but if Maguire never gave the rights to the musical, then it would have never happened.

[kkharding4137]

Idina Menzel is so beautiful

<3

[Tannaw1234]

does anyone know when the next broadway on broadway is i know its in september but not the dates

[eachdayismusical]

I love Idina Menzel so much because she is so good at belting!!!!

[potentialpenguin]

I love her as elphaba no shit she's the original elphaba(on broadway)

[cherrylee93]

She´s great....and I want to have her T-shirt :D

[kaymlev10]

She is awesome and I wish I had seen it when she was in it she is the best I have ever seen

[broadwaymike92]

I love Idina. I've met her twice. When I saw Wicked, she was still in the show but she was out. Eden went on for her. But then I saw Idina in Public Theater's presentation of "See What I Wanna See" and met her at the Stage Door. Then recently I went to her I Stand concert in New Brunswick, NJ and she met me during and after the show. During the show, she went into the audience and hugged me and then I went by the Stage Door and got autographs and pictures.

[pussyclart64]

what do you want? a medal??

"wow look at me - i've met Idina Menzel and I want the world to know about it"

[broadwaymike92]

I'm just saying that she rocks.

[pussyclart64]

she is rough as shit though

[DanielJordan1991]

What do you mean by "rough as shit"??

[DanielJordan1991]

Are you fucking kidding me?? Type her name in google image! She is one of the most stunning women alive! If you saw her in person your mouth would probably drop open. She is a VERY small person (really thin and about 5'3), her lips are beautiful and full, her hair long, thick and shiny, her eyes are stunning like deers and her bone structure is one of the most perfect I have ever seen (look at those cheekbones)!

[GJC1995]

she's not ugly akthough she's not the most good looking but she's amazing singer thats all that counts

[heartofagreengirl]

ha. yeah, right, idina menzel is ugly. shes gorgeous! just because shes not made out of plastic and everything isnt perfectly preportionate, doesnt mean shes ugly. shes beautiful! she looks so naturally stunning, unlike all these fake-looking babrie sluts on the covers of magazines.

[fsuga00]

she's pretty dang hot back in her day. probably the 2nd hottest jewish girl i've seen behind Bar!

[horselover1086]

boo you. Someone's tone deaf.

[iLaurenHenry]

@pussyclart64 You need to get some glasses T_T Idina Menzel is NOT ugly. She is the most beautiful woman in the world. If you're gonna call anyone a 'piece of soft shit' call yourself that.

[idinakristinwicked]

that is so cool I wish I could meet Idina

[Lachanze1]

IN LOVE WITH HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dancejessicasing]

she is incredible and just so talented. XD

[pushpushingmeaway]

love her

love her

love her

p e r f e c t !

[Ringostarr745]

It's nice to see her sing this song without the green make-up! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!

[imspontaneous]

How weird. She doesn't do her usual faces here when she's singing and starts off differently than most performances. Plus she's changed so much as far as appearance between then and now. Someone who commented before me mentioned that she had bronchitis. Does anyone know if that is true?

[Cutiepunch]

i wish they didn't cut it up! I could listen to her voice for a long time!

[dinoodlez3]

IDINA MENZEL AND IIIIIII!!!!

[defyinggravity422]

Idina and Carmen Cusack get me every time :]

My favorite Elphabas for sure.

[hprocks2009]

I love Carmen! She was my first Elphie when I saw Wicked. Shes second to Idina though. Idina is my favorite Elphie!

[defyinggravity422]

i saw carmen twice this summer, she was my first as well!

but i just saw it again 2 days ago with the new elphaba, donna vivino.

she was incredible.

i was blown away.

[merboyprince]

I think Donna is really Awesome,I love her DG "middle part" the "Something has changed" one and so on,but her Flying part is not as great as she can..I'd love to hear some riff from her,she has an Incredible voice! don't you agree? =)

[defyinggravity422]

absolutely!

i would looove to hear her riff.

her second "fiyero" in NGD is amazing as well, it reminds me a lot of eden espinosa.

[merboyprince]

I LOVE Eden's "Fiyero"..it's so tragic,and she put a great vocal energy in it! My fav Elphaba still remains Shoshana,but Eden is without a shade of doubt one of the "Historical" Elphaba..she was Original Standby and So on!!

[defyinggravity422]

her last one is incredible, i love how she makes her voice grow up as the character grows up.

shoshana is amazing, but i don't like her alll that much as elphie.

but idina, eden, donna, and probably caissie levy are my favorites.

and there are probably more that i just can't remember at the moment....

[merboyprince]

SJB and Kristy Cates are Awesome as well.IMO Sjb is the better choice if you think of the acting part; I think she is an Awesome actress AND she Has been involved in Wicked since the beginning!

[defyinggravity422]

i'm not a big SJB fan tbh, as far as the singing goes.

acting, different story.

they're all so talented, i couldn't just choose one of the women as far as who i think is the best actress unless you get into glindas. the acting for glinda i think was done amazingly by megan hilty and kristin, obviously.

[merboyprince]

Cheno May have drawn the character,and she is Definitely Awesome, but I love Hilty who is another historical Glinda,probably one of the best with Kendra,and Dianne.

[merboyprince]

I don't like Other Glindas at all. Everytime I say It I'm literally attacked by all Utube but,I don't Like Ashford at all as Glinda.She was Awesome in LB,as Margot,maybe Elle Undestudy,but Glinda is a Difficult Character to play,not just a dumb Blonde;too difficul to Explain but,as you let us understand you're a HUGE Wicked fan,as I am SO I know you Undestand what I wanna say!

[defyinggravity422]

really?

i love annaleigh but to each their own i guess.

also, the glinda on tour, katie rose clarke, is wonderful.

i've seen her three times. wonderful actress.

but yeah glinda is hard because there's so much depth to her character underlying the whole dumb blonde persona. i totally get what you're saying.

[DanielJordan1991]

Really? It's the opposite way around for me. I love Stephanie's singing voice but I'm not a fan of her acting. I just think she over-emotes everything. Idina's is a lot more subtle whilst still having alot of emotion and passion behind it.

[erhalperin]

not her best performance, but still great.

I LOVE IDINA MENZEL <3

[SunshynMaker]

who said that she couldent sing!? she managed to give an amazing performance with bronchitis! she's a trooper

[lisaatje1990]

ok, I almost like al the women who have played Elphaba, but Idina will always be special to me.. She is sooo great! To everyone who says she can't sing: Seriously, are you deaf?!

[tessaviolet03]

i just love her. thats really all to  say.

[craigab83]

Kerry Ellis is by far the best Elphaba. True Idina was the original, but Kerry brings audiences to tears with For Good and I'm Not That Girl - no wonder Broadway wanted Kerry!

[xxxmissblondzyxxx]

Well then, if you like Kerry, Go watch Kerry and not Idina. Seriously there is no point in watching a video that you don't like!

[Fanzel4everxx9]

I LOVE YOU IDINA!! ROCK ON(:

[nyrocker9]

She's is a great singer

[KTRN80]

I think she and Stephanie j block are the best elphabas, no one can possibly compare to them. And Idina was amazing in rent! :D

[xjosiebeanx]

Kerry Ellis.

:D

[wholuvslax]

Sho too. Friggin powerhouse. (:

But I love Dee most, then Sho, Kerry, and SJB. (:

[jamaj003]

i agree except put amanda harrison where kerry is!

[BintKindra]

GO IDINA! she's absolutley amazing. personally, she beats any sub that goes in for her.

[yourwound]

AMEN to that!!!!! seriously. she is the top elphaba, hands down. she has so much more of a connection to that character than any of her replacements, no matter how talented (and they really are) they may be. i have so much respect for her. she's my biggest hero. (:

[Zukoluver5]

Oh my god she is so awesome!

[nicolahalaha]

whooooaaaaa thats A LOT of people ive performed infront of a lot of people before but thats ridiculous but then again its idina menzel

[cheekymelon]

wow lol she looks completeley different without green allover her but stil the most amazing sound you will ever hear .

[Zukoluver5]

I know!!!!!!!1

[SarcasmThyNameIsDana]

amazingness. <3

[elfluvr21592]

she said indina...o well, at least thats what i heard...

[keny1010]

erm... WOW!!!

[soigj]

ok i went 2 wicked ad i saw dee and ok she does not mesure up to idina<3

idina is still #1 my fave :)

[tessaviolet03]

i love idina!!! she is so amazing. one day i hope to be a quarter as good as she is (like thats possible!) go idina. I LOVE YOU!!!

[custardyhayles]

I'm sorry but compare this to Kerry Ellis's performance at Pride or Kids Week. Idina is fantastic, no shadow of a doubt, but Kerry does this song better.

[singer34109]

dont you think you're being biased?

[terraschneider2010]

i love how her plain, genuine self is so incredible, without all of the other crap. like, she's got no makeup, no fancy clothes, plain hair, and no technology to fix her (mistakes.. yeah right) haha she's just amazing, all on her own. i admire her so much. god, i love her!!!! i hope one day somebody will let me sing for as many people as she has (:

[OkayinAsec]

you're right. she's so amazing, but yet she doesn't look intimidating. she looks like your average girl who loves to sing for people. and that's great cuz we love to hear her sing.

[Singa4Lyfe012]

I love her. The sixth graders at my school, The Ron Clark Academy, are going to see Wicked,on the 6th of April

[MzCharmedFan0214]

her skin is so fair.. i could never sing in front of all those people, SING GURL!!! SING IT!!! love idina!!!!

[tatyrules12]

sometimes when Idina gets real intense when she sings she goes cross-eyed its really funny if u look for videos of defying gravity she usually goes cross-eyed then

[Wicked8DefyGravity]

Shes so amazing! SHES SUCH A GREAT LIVE SINGER! Some singers just don't sound all that great live...but omg Idina Mizel...Idina Menzel...she can do ANYTHING!

[kuffie67]

um no offense or anything, but she kinda has to be a great live singer or she wouldn't have ever been on broadway in the first place

[Wicked8DefyGravity]

uh, okay? Thanks for striking down my positive comment. Chill much?

[kuffie67]

sorrry i wasnt trying to shoot down your comment. i love her too. no offense intended

[Wicked8DefyGravity]

Oh, okay. I understand. She isss pretty darn amazing!

[Diehardwickedfan]

aww she looks so small on that bog stage with all those fans. l luv how she can sing different notes so close together and not smush them!

[MzCharmedFan0214]

sing it idina.. sing girl.. lol..love her...

[MusicalFan525]

idina* lol

[MusicalFan525]

this is the only performance of idian i've seen where she sounds like the recording...shame her voice is so wrecked now =/

[nicolahalaha]

lol dont you think when you see the word INDIA you automatically think its IDINA??? or is that just me?

[puppypersonLOTR]

lol I do depending on the context...this is random but my sister's dog is named India...but when I look online I definitely do make that assumption!

[eventsid]

her voice is wrecked now???

have u heard her new cd?

[zwappp]

Why is her voice "wrecked"??

[xlilhunni123x]

her voice isnt wrecked...shes still amazing she hasnt changed....shes my idol and i like her because she is sooo gd at what she does she is one of them people hu sound great live and recorded....x

[gotmilk116]

dude wouldn't it be amazing to open ur mouth and have THAT come out! luv you idina!

[slytherinhearts]

and shes just so amazing and so asdorable at the end of the song. GOD I NEED TO MEET HER SOMEDAY!!! i dont care how. but she is my idol and the one person that i really long to meet.

[tatyrules12]

Its unfair how perfect Idina is lol. shes soooo pretty and her voice is even prettier if thts even possible

[tuhhreese]

[wickedfan4evah]

[hgftrew1992]

the kid at 1:14, I swear looks exactly like me, but younger!

[isyroe1206]

Idina is the best performer ever. but i swear to god that woman in the front at 1:34 is a teacher at my school.....

[StaceTheChiefette]

I love Idina, she's just brilliant!!

[aleerox]

she is fucking gorgeous

[gogogirliez]

Idina rocks! And all you people who can't see that,you are obviously very brain dead! Im so sick of people saying that Idina sucks. Your obviously just jealous cuz you can reach that high.

[noobiestCOVER]

the end looked a lil' Maureen-ish; doncha thinl

<3 Idina Menzel

[mararfortune]

she is amazing and looks great but i still love her new hair cut better!

[2muchchemistry]

[futurejournalist06]

Wow, if she sucked so much, she wouldn't be such a Broadway star!

[noobiestCOVER]

no ure just tone - death

[shurbitup]

[idinakristinwicked]

and remember she originated elphie in london to

[Bellekix]

and she is so much better than you are or ever could be so u really need to shut ur jealous ass up

[emzie21uk]

Idina is Elphaba, was dying to see Wicked, saw it in London with English accents, it was fucking wrong... :(

[TRoderick]

one of the very few true high belters!

[wickedmenzel]

toooo cute 4 words :)

[jorgearroyo]

[CVcatgirlCA]

[rorygilmo5]

[mararfortune]

[rorygilmo5]

She met her husband, Taye Diggs, on the set of the broadway version.

[bwaybabydezz]

IDINA IS AMAZING YOU IDIOT.

[babsaloops]

excuse me im not an idiot im just saying my opinion ok.

[bwaybabydezz]

Ah, I'm sorry.

But Idina rocks, and if you dn't wanna be snapped at, don't comment a vid where she's INCREDIBLE sayin she's bad!

I have an opinion too.

[funkymusicluvr]

you're totally wrong, but to each their own. go listen to the rap/ hip hop crap that i'm sure you love.

[swivman]

Wheres your talent?

[babsaloops]

you dont kno me or anything bout me!!!get a life

[KingTutKelly]

she's got an awesome voice, and alot of people say i can sound like her when i want to...

[SherlockRose]

ooooooh!!! poor idina she went flat in the phrase "hand in hand"... waaaah!! I don't wanna see her mess up; it makes me sad!

[fanatic013]

she's an awesome singer I think they speeded up the song a bit too much, though but still awesome! I just think the soundtrack version is better
