For all of you who say that idina is to "nasally......just remember who won the TONY!

But the way they use their voices is part of their characters. Groban plays the Russian, who is much stronger and more confident in himself, so he uses a full voice.

In contrast, Menzel's Florence is doubtful of herself and reluctant to act in haste, so her voice is more hesitant.

is this a musical or a concert of some sort? I am not familiar with Chess aside from eh board game

for those who criticize Idina's talent... be sure you're better than her...

@look2dwesternsky she's not an alto, she's a soprano

Idina is the best Maureen in RENT, the best Elphaba in Wicked (No one does Defying Gravity better), brilliant in Glee and an AMAZING Florence too. She sings this and many other Chess songs very well, including Heaven Help My Heart and I Know Him So Well - another beautiful duet. In fact, I think she could portray almost any role and sing almost any song. BTW, I LOVE IDINA <3

@cljens I'm sorry, but I don't agree. I will admit that Idina's voice isn't as conventional as Elaine's, but it's at least as technical and developed. Personally I love her tone.

I think "utter blasphemy" is a bit far... Considering Idina's got such devoted fans, I'd say it was also a bit reckless - opening yourself up to being attacked...

[cljens]

WTF!?! Talk about a voice that doesn't fit the part....such a misscasting. In the light of Elaine Paige's amazing portrayal of Florence, this is just utter blasphemy.

Everyone is intitled to their own opinion but i still think they're ridiculous! :p Idina is AMAZING! She is a legend and maybe sometimes she doesn't go all out but who cares!? That's just her.. Idina isn't someone who you can look at in a perfesional way. And that's why so many people love her. She knows how to enjoy herself and not be so fake... she is insperational no matter what or how she is singing. I love her to death because of all of her!

[narusakufan202]

I love Idina's voice, it doesn't matter what she's singing she always manages to make me cry, simply beautiful :D

She's often just a bit ahead of the music...
