[xShigureSohmax]

Ja!!!!!! That means yes.

[isabellacinderella]

oooh well done! =] hehe yeah i do german at school x

[alexmz123]

I was at the gym handling the front desk and we have a specialized music system. I heard this song come on and it struck me as a 'voice that is so affecting' that I can feel her emotions in her song. I looked at the list and it said Idina Menzel Brave! Wow! I shouldn't be surprised that a voice from Broadway can stand out among the usual, mediocre pop voices so common in the mainstream radio!

[Sammybear513]

I want her face, voice, dress, and shirt at the end. Also I want her hair. But great video.

[ismaleus]

I love Idina, and i looooooved the song and the video 2!!!!

Can does anyone knows if her CD is available in Mexico City?

[wickedchic15]

I love this song!! I'm singing this for my school talent show audition monday=D thanks for putting the music vid up=D

[hotchocolate0304]

omg i love this song

[smuvjel]

This is such a honest song. It grows on you. :)

[cressylann]

i love the song..and its our graduation song..hehehe

[Xoph012]

YAY IDINA

btw does she play piano?

[Gabriella189]

When I think she can't unwrap anymore- there's always another layer and another and another

[imagineoceans]

how long is that ribbon. 0.0

[Roflb3rryPwncakes]

Probably about 100 yards, all total. I doubt that whole thing is the ribbon. XD But I still love the concept.

[Maya1192]

omg i love it :D :D :D :D :D :D

[elfie20]

Is the album available in England yet??

[Gabriella189]

yeas, it was out on the 29th Jan 2008

[wickediswicked5]

it wont come to england but i just got it of amazon

[OceanSunRise4]

I love this song..i've been having a really rough month and i think i would be pretty insane if i didnt listen to it or sing it at least once day.

[12sunkist]

idina is love <3

[barucmarzan]

Wickedly beautiful. The entire CD is awesome!

[2whitelilys]

i love the song . i love the video . but i really love her

[LuLubot77]

OMG i sooooooooo love idina and i love this song i also want to sing it but i need to find a version without words...werm

[wickedchic15]

if you type in "brave idina menzel on piano" there's someone playing this on the piano and it makes a pretty good instrumental. the only thing is it doesn't have the whole song but it's still good=D

[LuLubot77]

Thanks! :p

[wickedchic15]

i almost want to sing this for my talent show but i'm kind of worried about messing it up. i would really hate to do that to such a beautiful song=D I can't stop watching this video

[OceanSunRise4]

you should try it...u never know till you have given it a shot.

[elphieismyfuture225]

her voice is so unbelievably beautiful it makes me cry. i have never heard someone as good as her. if she has children, they will be almost as beautiful as her. but not totally. no one can be a gorgeous as idina menzel

[WickedFanForLife16]

Love this song!!! Idina sings it great!!

[fbites]

she looks, well, stunning, I love when she laughs near the end

and the jeans thing, it's so idina *heart*

[broadwayfan17403]

I love this song! Idina is amazing!

[ElphieandMaureen]

Haha I love how she decorates the whole town with her dress. If I saw it I would have been like "OMG DEE'S DRESS I AM SO TAKING IT AND ADDING IT TO MY SHRINE! *squee* *die*"

[PhillysWereTheHeartI]

GREAT song! Idina has an amazing voice!love it!

[LooToo22]

and by now, I meant the one's I've had, not to make it sound like I was mad at them earlier or anything (okay, none of you need to know this!!)

[LooToo22]

haha jk. I love my parents now!! hehe =]

[LooToo22]

Aw, heck. She can just adopt me!

[vivi2211]

well why is she destroying the dress

i feel it's not that bad^^

[AdventChild]

I think the dress destruction is a metaphor for her insecurities/fears. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[shapov7]

the song is about her needing/wanting to be brave. so, at the end of the song, she breaks free from the dress, it's as if she's not held back anymore.

[Roflb3rryPwncakes]

I agree! As if the dress is fear, and it had a hold on her, being that she was completely rapped up in it during the song. And it's about how she's leaving it behind as she moves on, and by the end, she's freed herself from fear, and she can be brave. And then, it is, by definition of her song, her turn to be brave.

[ilovebroadway9918]

WOW!! most AMAZING video i've ever seen, so passionate! Idina is so GORGEOUS!!! And that dress is just spectacular, and her voice is AWSOME! best i've ever heard.! keep it up!

xo

[HorseCrazyGrl167]

Gah. Every time I watch this video, I end up speechless. It's so incredibly gorgeous and powerful.

[eponinethenardierg9]

That was a cute video. It made me smile :)

[MysticFayth]

Idina is so gorgeous. Dammit, it should be illegal to be that pretty.

And god, I want a dress like that.

[strengthwithin]

Gorgeous video! I love the song as well :) Yay! x

[LBelle108]

This may sound odd, but Idina's facial expressions in this video are beautiful. There's so much emotion and vulnerability in her eyes; it's like she's trying to say that while she may be brave, her nerves haven't fully gone away. Well done, Idina! You've nothing to be nervous about!

[zorloges]

Oh, my heart . . . I love her, I do, I do.

[noobiestCOVER]

dude ;....wtf is ure problem?

[togocardibroke714]

Is it just me or does the alleyway that they use at around 2:23 look a shocking amount like the one where Collins was beat up in the rent movie?

Beautiful job Idina! I especially love the part where she's in the jeans, makes her seem so much more real, if you know what I mean.

[Safuza]

*GASP* omg your soo right. it does

luv this music vid btw. Idina's gorgeous from begining to end. =D

[meggish]

Amazing! So happy with the final result. I like how she ended up with jeans at the end -- theres the casual Idina we know and love :)

[imagineoceans]

GO IDINA =D

i know how you felt when you sang 'i'm not that girl'.

[kristiroxx13]

finally

[mollybell313]

YAY!!!

[littleoldman60]

You be brave girl! Thanks for the new album Dee, it's awesome!

[tyneebub]

b e a u t i f u l !!!

[xelphabaxfaex]

YOWZA!

i'd be like, following her, picking up all the materials istead of just walking on it.

danggg yo.

i love idina SO much, and this video is FLIPPIN awesome. she looks so independent.

it's great, really.

[IdinaRocks2013]

I love the part where the little girl is playing with the part of the dress, and Idina laughs and twirls around. I think that this video is awesome!

[sistersavvy]

There are times when I just wish I could scream to the world how amazing Idina really is...to make them realize the talent that they are overlooking. This is one of those times. The video was amazing, the song is beautiful and I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of "I Stand". Even after RENT, Wicked and Enchanted she's still overlooked as an artist and it breaks my heart. Keep up the amazing work Idina!

[rentheadandproud]

Idina is absolutely the most beautiful woman in the world with the most amazingly touching voice in the world. She is my idol and inspiration, it annoys me that people like Idina are being overlooked when people like Hannah Montana and Rihanna are getting the spotlight for simply singing through their noses. Idina is amazing, I would kill to be like her. Keep up the amazing work, Idina!

[embdel18]

I totally agree! I think Idina has done soooooo well!!! i would love to meet her!!!!! I wold kill to have a voice like hers and to sing with her!!!! i just wish that she would noticed more!!! she is incredible! I cant wait to get 'I stand'! they are beautiful songs! Keep up the amazing work Idina!

[wickedchic15]

I ttly agree with you; half the girls on youtube can sing better than hannah montana when beautiful and amazing artists like Idina Menzel are even unknown to some ppl! IDINA ROCKS AND IS A BEAUTIFULLY TOUCHING ARTIST=D

[amrain01]

AGREED. ITS called marketing. There's the difference. Sad that is all separating IDINA's first 2 albums from success. Google IDINA HERE. or IDINA Minuet. 2 GREAT SONGS.

[Sarawwhtee]

Shes amazing!

[juiceboxx27]

I am honestly speechless

that was amazing.

She looked so gorgeous, as always.

I loved how she was wearing jeans at the end

:)

[wickedN4L1210]

Idina is a Goddess.

[HeyMrShesMySister]

I LOVE that at the end she was in jeans!That was a surprise! :) Also @ 3:00 there was a place called "King Edward" and in Enchanted there was a Prince Edward!(Who became King Edward) LOL! AWESOME Vid! Dee ROCKS!

[Tomorrow4Me]

Awesome Name ;)

[HeyMrShesMySister]

Thanks! U too

[renethel]

ah just beautiful and breathtakingly amazing! You did it again Idina! :)

[SarahIdinaPhreakx3]

AMAZINGGGGGGGGG

[livethebohemianlife]

truly wonderful. she looks beautiful!

[DreamingGirlie]

its was reali wierd and quirky but every1 loves wierd and quirky ... i do anyway

idina is my idol!!!!!

[elfiyero]

that was amazing. i love this song, and i really hope that she can get people to see that she isn't just an incredible broadway performer. (now don't get me wrong, i LOVE wicked and rent.) i hope that she goes on tour or something. i would definitely go.

[broadwayboundqt]

Aw, she is one of the few performers who gives me gOoSeBumPs!:) i love her vocal quality and the way she plays with the camera very subtly..amazing work!

[LooToo22]

What was she doing with her dress? Why was she doint that?

[juxtapotato]

The act of unraveling the fabric of her dress echoes the song's sensibility: "I might be afraid, but it's my turn to be brave." At the end of the video, we finally get to see Idina in jeans, a revelation of a down-to-earth yet confident character, which is the precisely the persona she wants to project.

And that is what makes her truly brave.

[hollywearsprada]

The unravelling of the dress was Idina shedding all the things that scared her. It was tied to the piano because she was scared of the transition from Broadway to 'pop star' and whether her fans would accept it or not. There's also shots of children which could echo her fears of being a good mother. She finishes stripped of the dress and her fears, and is just herself.

I love it. I think it's so clever. Idina loveee!

[xxtinkerbell91xx]

i know i love that metaphor as well, its such a gd video

[freyqt18]

i think thst a rly good metaphore and i love the idea but y doesnt she have kids already!?

[LooToo22]

Wow, I get all that but how in the world did you figure out the "she was scared of transition from Broadway to pop star and whether her fans would accept it or not?" I would have never figured that out!

[LooToo22]

And about the kid thing?!?!

[hollywearsprada]

lol I dunno. I'm studying Film at uni and I want to be a director so I look for stuff like that.

[freyqt18]

i think this song has NOTHING to do with kids and that ppl are reading into it WAAAAAAY too much!

[xxtinkerbell91xx]

she was scared she wouldn't be a gd mum, because she was confused about her religious beliefs and what to tell her kids, but know she thinks she got it figured out and so is hoping that she'll be able to have kids soon

[freyqt18]

and how do you know this? im just curious, not trying to be a bitch but truthfully, Idina is the only one that can really say that. she is 37 and still doesnt have any kids. i have a feeling no matter how brave she is shes not having any. i love her as much as anyone but i think people are really trying to understand something that only Idina will ever really understand. not only that, but i think ppl are reading WAY too much into this song. i dont think it has ANYTHING to do with kids!

[sistersavvy]

Idina at the Zipper Theatre (2004/12/13):

- "I'm thinking about having kids soon...I used to not want to have them 'cause I thought I would somehow screw them up."

- "I'm not very religious...you can't confuse kids, you've gotta kind of know what you believe. And I don't really know what I believe."

Obviously no one can say if the metaphors in this song and video refer to children at all but I just thought I'd point out that she has said that stuff. (Search: Idina kids religion)

[freyqt18]

i agree and i think that she does want to have kids. I just think that they dont have anything to do with this particular song. but i mean, its possible that they do, i dont know anything for sure, but thats my point, only Idina does.

and btw-- where'd you get that quote?

[sistersavvy]

I have recordings of Idina at the Zipper (as well as at Joe's Pub and Ars Nova). If you search "Idina Kids Religion" on here you will find a slideshow of pics with the part of her appearance at the Zipper where she talked about kids, religion and marriage

[freyqt18]

oh, ok cool thx

[beautifullytragic99]

wait...she isnt a mother is she?

[xxtinkerbell91xx]

no, but she wants to be

[Defygravity09]

I love Idina so much. She is absolutely incredible. I would have loved to have seen her in Wicked. This video is so awesome! I love the song and the album is fantastic. It's her best one in my opinion. I hope she goes on tour soon.

[snl891]

ugg. AMAZING <3

and that was like.. a really, really gorgeous music video too. SO much better than 99% of the music videos out there right now :)

[KatieB88]

holy crap Idina, you've outdone yourself again. that was so great and better than i could have ever pictured it!!! you go girl!!

[rialopez]

As soon as she started singing... I got shivers!

[FrexspartheGodly]

Amazing video. She looks so beautiful.

[catherinejpritchett]

Holy CRAP ... oh Idina ... this vid is amazing ... PLEASE let this be her big mainstream break ... she deserves it ... wow ... LOVED it !!!

[GabbyDee32]

i think now every time i see pink or purple ribbon im gonna get a huge grin on my face!

[lostONstage710]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! SHE'S SO GORGEOUS!!!!!! and talented, and amazing, and...well, Idina!

=]

[lansama]

Simply wonderful!

[silverhand77]

Her arms are so ripped! This is a great video. I can't watch it without beaming. Did I mention that Idina is strong of arm and heart?

[going2NY]

What a lucky town - to be all covered with Idina.

This video is incredible.

She did so great

xxxx

[karunadreamer0]

This video is absolutely just.. beautiful. I don't know why people were giggling at it.  It's so gorgeous and Idina looks fantastic, as always.

[broadwaymike92]

This video is awesome. It's only her second one. Her first one was Minuet from her 1998 album Still I can't be Still.

[Yuri90]

OMG Idina Menzel has the most heavenly voice. She is incredible!

[FishyLamp]

omg.... no words can express how uplifting and amazing this video is. Idina and the people who did this video have done a fantastic job. Idina.....omg none of my words can even describe how amazing you are and how you touch the lives of all of us. This is a very moving video and you should be so proud of it. I know we all are. :)

[lilkjen87]

this is so hott. watching it i was like a kid at toys 'r' us. fabulous.

[laureljaclyn]

Amazing!!!

[DaredToMove]

i love idina, but i think that the beginning of that was kind of... lame? like how she gets up? there's no real emotion!

but i LOVED the end how in the end, the sash was off and she was wearing jeans and a shirt. that was VERY moving.

[lsutigergirl5]

i don't think so. I just looked and no matches came up for it.

[bumpadabumpada99]

Yeah, same here. Argh. I need this video on le iPod!!

[TangoMaureen07]

beautiful!

[TropicChick]

I love this video! Dress is beautiful! I was so excited, because I was watching TV, and here we are, a commercial promoting Idina's CD!!!!!

[hals11]

omg

idina i love you

this is sooo amazing

you've given me and my friend chills

great job! you've touched so many people with this song =)

[c0ll3g3g1rl1o1]

Besides the incredible ending... what touches me the most is at :46 and 1:15-1:17; when she looks back at the piano and as she goes down the stairs. It just has so much meaning! The video is just incredible! I LOVE the dress; the unwinding of her showing herself as just her "plain" self; and the ending just having fun and letting the world see her as she wants to be seen: Simple but elegant and TRUE! Idina is my Hero!

[HANNAHlovesBROADWAY]

My god, this is so amazing.

I lover her so much.

She is just sooo beautiful and talented!

(L) :)

[whatsername12]

I love this video

[IdinaHeredotcom]

The "special guest" was supposed to be Taye (her husband), but his part got cut out in the final version.

[c0ll3g3g1rl1o1]

Why did they cut it?

[SuddenxHeat]

[kingdomkey1121]

That is the coolest dress ever... and Idina wearing it makes it 10000 times better!
