Making of "Kinda Special" - Co-written by Idina Menzel, Eric Bazilian & Lindsay Rush

Eric Bazilian (Joan Osborne's "One of Us") and Lindsay work in the studio, on a song written by Eric, Lindsay, & Idina Menzel. Originally, "Kinda Special," was a love song. In light of the recent birth of Idina's first son, Walker, the meaning of the song was changed. Watch as it is edited, and recorded. To hear the whole song, visit www.Myspace.com/LindsayRush

I wish Idina was singing it would be waaaayyy more special because it is about her son. It's a good song though- Idina always writes amazing songs :)

id want idina singing too. its definitely more special if she sings it about her own newborn child. why not have the tony award winning broadway star sing it?

I really like this song. I think that lindsay and idina should sing it. Not as a duet but like separately. You know how some songs the songwriter will write it for someone and then they sometimes end up singing it their way? Well Idina can sing it for her baby and on tours and Lindsay and Idina can put it on an upcoming album if there is one.

I worked with Eric Bazilian years ago and he's a cool dude.

[bobbie406]

oh i love how it ended up being about walker...x

[melonflower]

she´s singing the backup vocals. She wrote the song but that doesn´t mean that she has to sing it!

[Elphelise]

whos this lindsay?

[Wickedfan2005]

I think this song is awesome and I love that the meaning of the song was changed in light of Walker being born. Great job with the song! Can't wait to hear more music!

you can hear idina singing backup harmonies near the end. just because she helped write the song doesn't mean it's for her to sing. a lot of singers write songs for other artists because you can make a lot of money that way. i think it's cool to hear something she wrote!
