Idina Menzel - Heart On My Sleeve

[@ameliamoon1988]

I swear I was having heart palpitations when watching this. Her emotion and the emotion she made me have was overwhelming.

[@VamosRafaE15]

I think it's also that she's focusing on her pitch which in my opinion is a good thing because her pitch is amazing. It's a beautiful song with beautiful emotion put into it. She puts her whole heart into it, that's what i love :)

[@420kellyk]

This really shows the complexities of Idina's voice. It's really kind of amazing. Jonathon Larson didn't make one mistake in any of the casting choices. He created stars. Idina's shines the brightest.

[@musicaldramaqueen]

Thank you for responding to my comment! It had been 7 months too long since I had last watched this video. It's my favorite song that she has ever performed. It was lovely getting to see it again. Thanks for reminding me!

[@musicaldramaqueen]

That was the most passionate performance i think I've ever seen. That wasn't acting. That was all her. Nothing more nothing less.

[@wicked0824]

ohmygoodness! wow. idina menzel=love. shes just amazing. FANZEL FOREVERR!!

[@420kellyk]

This is just so raw. It's not perfect but it doesn't matter. The emotions that come through her voice are just chilling. She has earned and deserved the title of diva.

[@carmven9230]

I vividly remember seeing this for the first time in 2006. it was one the first videos I watched on KZbin. and I could NOT stop rewatching it. I remember feeling this was one of the most beautiful things I'd seen/heard. still do!

[@Dorelliun]

Ever since I discovered Mrs. Menzel in the movie version of RENT, I've been in awe. We love you Idina!

[@MvyMkr]

The older I grow the more I love the subtleties in this. Simply amazing!

[@camara1194]

seriously

[@Leeta]

Thanks so much for putting this on here. It gives me chills. Such a beautiful song.

[@bubblygirlnz]

She's so freaking captivating. I couldn't stop watching her face and arms the entire time. I love how she opens up so much when she's singing. *sigh*

[@yourwound]

she is so REAL. this is the most honest performance i've ever seen.

[@420kellyk]

Mike Haber Oh yes I can't wait till November 5th. I've got my tickets. 6th row center orchestra at the national. I may wet my pants! This will be my first in person Idina performance and since I missed the original Rent cast by about a year, I am so looking forward to Idina and Anthony on stage again. RENT was life changing when I heard the album while doing a tech day on a production of Godspell in "95. When I heard it I thought this is the best thing I've heard. And Idina stood out the most.

[@unabletosoldier]

love this performance. her voice is so powerful. thanks for uploading this!

[@Trsh3r]

love that live version, she sounds so vulnerable and strong, lovely

[@camuizuuki]

She's just amazing! I love her passion and she seams to mean every single word she sings!

[@Meighan22]

This is the most wonderful and mesmerizing thing I've heard in a while.

[@JaneWillowMusic]

this is great. the song and the girl kind of remembers me of rent the music/movie. she makes me think off the character mimi. :)

[@deefan101]

Amazing!! And I love that dress!!! I love Idina!!

[@JessesAngel]

This song is so amazing...Its funny when I first heard this song the person I immediately thought of was Elphaba from Wicked...This song should be Elphaba's anthem and its just funny that the creater of Elphaba is singing this song! I love Idina! Hope to get to meet her at the Tonys! *fingers Crossed* lol

[@TrunksChan]

Movin n groovin around means she's into the song. :D Go Idina

[@KAIAmarie93]

[@ElphabaForLife]

[@AngelaJeffries]

This is my favorite song ever.

[@MvyMkr]

Wow, I was spellbinded all through that, the raw emotion, and she really acts her songs. And this song is definitely one of her best and my favourites. The lyrics just inspire me and move me. She is a very talented woman. Hope one day I can meet her to tell her that. :) Well done Idina :D

[@roandrew26]

[@wuijck]

[@remedysweet]

This song is my anthem. Love me some Idina!

[@MvyMkr]

World class. Absolutely WORLD CLASS!

[@Wicked8DefyGravity]

I agree with the comment below mine! She sings this so beautifully, and with a lot of passion. I think the dress is pretty!

[@Maysles123]

I'm a relatively new fan of Idina and have not yet been lucky enough to see her live, but seeing this performance makes me want to all the more. This is the first time I've heard that song and her performance here has completely blown me away; it's one of the most passionate and emotional performances I've ever seen and she sounds fantastic! Just incredible, definitely favourited! Does anyone know when this was?

[@wildfiretgh]

So much passion.. she is sooo amazing.

[@flylittlebee]

Oh wow, thank you SO much for posting this! I love her, and I absolutely love this song. :)

[@becauseican01]

I love this song. Up until about 4:00, it's great, but then she starts getting emotional and from there to the end it's AMAZING

[@alex370]

i love her.

[@RebelFanzel]

mind blowing! just heart wrenching!

[@Dorkasauresrex]

breathtaking..

[@JessKWcc]

Love this song! WOW

[@ghostofthespire]

i love this song!! i listen to it when i am sad it is my beutiful sad song.

[@shoshbekman]

sheee have so much souul and passion Great from 0:00 to 5:52

[@mitziiify]

oh i have just been introduced to her by a new FB friend - she reminds me of Nicolette Larson with soul...lovely...

[@MusicIsMyThing]

I can't breathe right now... wow.. :)

[@ladyvader139]

absolutely love it!

[@JustDANCE9506]

mindblowing.

[@defygravity89]

that was absolutely flawless and so emotional i was like in tears. i really like that song too but im sorry what is she wearing!?

[@J2oLLa]

Yes, anytime you sing or act on stage you must be aware of your movements. I am completely aware of this. I am a second year Theatre stream University student. However, this is meant for the sole purpose of being a song. Not musical theatre. Her movements were not distracting. That's the main issue. When movements become distracting, then it becomes a problem, however, what you are seeing is not distraction. You are seeing passion sir. The type of passion that makes performances worth watching.

[@britgrliam]

she's so young!

[@wildfiretgh]

Idina is fucking AMAZING.

[@sunflowersareevil]

Hmm wow, she really does put alot of emotion into her performance.

[@yeahsam]

Oh my god, that was so amazing. She is just so talented I literally just cried watching that. Anyways, does anyone know when this benefit was?

[@TrunksChan]

LOL. She's all emotional toward the end of the song and then when she's done, "Well, how'd you guys like it? :)" *bounce away*

[@MvyMkr]

Well put :)

[@ginohhh]

does idina ever tour for her concerts? i wish she would.

[@puppypersonLOTR]

oh Idina!

[@RockyLethe]

wow, that was lovely. :O)

[@MvyMkr]

So bloody jealous i didnt get to see her *cries*

[@lisamj]

i agree with "wildfiretgh" that idina is fucking awesome, just so damn good it makes me want to scream and jump and holler, and clap...she ismy inspiration to sing like i know i was born to do. she lives the life i have been scared to try. one question though--WHERE WAS THIS AND WHEN? AND IDINA WROTE THIS SONG YES OR NO?

[@moonkissed45]

How may i ask do you find out where she is performing? I would DIE to go to one of her concerts!!

[@kalinwang1]

I love you...

[@JaneWillowMusic]

oh, found out she is mimi! :) she rules !

[@kevinmichaelt]

actually.. she writes some of the songs, not all. but this one she did

[@giggles91887]

I know what you meant. I don't have one, but I know that there must be a way to send her stuff because I know fans have. If I ever find an address, I promise to let you know!

[@niiik77]

wow.

[@J2oLLa]

Agreed. Just like everyone is entitled to their opinion, my opinion is to disagree with yours. You should not be offended by that.

[@VanessaDMusic]

Why am I only seeing this now??

[@classicmovieclub9760]

i tireid that to one of my vids and there was a copyright issue! do u want the song?

[@patricia_armstrong]

look her movements are part of the song there for effect

[@wickedelphie713]

her birthday is on may 30, isn't it?

[@J2oLLa]

LiveandLoveLife you are aware that she is not acting a role here correct? She is singing a song, as a singer.

[@withyougone09]

oh my GOD!!!! can she get any better?

[@giggles91887]

I'd like to know a mailing address too, I'm considering writing something to her, and if I do, I want it to be handwritten and mailed, instead of email. It just seems more personal. Thanks a bunch :)

[@MvyMkr]

I'm not 100% but isn't it she writes the songs for her own stuff? Like her album and ep, but not for shows like desperate housewives... I'm also assuming she doesn't write the music??? Do you know if she like has a band and they work together?

[@peechyk99]

ok, i admit it...she's pretty damn good!

[@MvyMkr]

She isn't Mimi...She was Maureen

[@c0ll3g3g1rl1o1]

in 2000

[@Jamochka]

I get accused of immitating her whenever I'm anywhere near a stage, which annoys me because I've performed the same way I always have before I even knew who she was :S

[@Jamochka]

She doesn't play Mimi she plays Maureen

[@patricia_armstrong]

well she should she was the original mimi

[@MvyMkr]

Google em...

[@JaneWillowMusic]

o ok. sorry :)

[@VictoriaWilder13]

People think I'm like Maureen...I dunno why...

[@MvyMkr]

duno wat lol haha

[@J2oLLa]

Lol :$.
