@Jacquee9 yes she did...this just isn't her song even if she may love and want to sing it...also could be the accompaniment and the horrible back up singers...nah she just shouldn't be singing this one
Idina is the worst cast florence there has been. She was probably only chosen because of her popularity, especially with Wicked. Musically Elaines version is the best. Benny and Bjorn being the only producers and song writers who have made her sound tuneful. Helen Sjoholm is by far the best Florence. Her stage version of this in the Swedish production is amazing. The scene being set in a night club, with Florence getting drunk and dancing and cavorting with male dancers.
Nope, dont like her version. Tempo seems to vary and she seems desperate to 'pop' it up instead of sticking to the original. Elaine Paige's version beat this easily.
everyone who critisizes idina should get hold of the actual DVD and see the show there, with proper sound and image quality.youtbe versions dont do her justice! She did AMAZING!! she is not flat! her breathing is perfect. SHE IS THE BEST!!
I thought she did a gorgeous and powerful performance! <3 her! And maybe she this character isn't the best for her for her I still think she did fantastic considering the VERY LITTLE time they had to rehearse and all that.
I also really LOVED the little runs she put in! They were fierce!

It's not just the video quality. I watched this when PBS broadcast it and I hated her. Awful casting choice.

Idina rules. Although she is kinda slightly annoying in this role, she's nails this song. I adore her

If this track ends up as fantastic as the finished version of Josh Groban's Anthem, it will be such an amazing recording of Chess!
