White House Celebration

[@quinnhouk5369]

My favorite performance was when she did a concert in Norfolk Virginia a couple years ago and my family got me tickets for me and my dad. It was amazing. And we got to meet her afterwards. We didn’t get home till after midnight. If they allowed pictures on here, I’d post it. And the best thing is that was an early birthday present for me cause my birthday is September 17th and she was in town a few nights on August 26th and I can’t remember the day she left but we went on the 26th in 2015

[@emilydiveley9661]

Dyfing Gravity is my favorite

[@KLK1618]

All but seeing her live was a dream come true.

[@Showtunediva]

I saw the original Broadway production of Wicked & my favorite songs are Defying Gravity & For Good.

[@shellseasparkles1944]

Defy Gravity will always be her BEST song ever. Being able to watch it live when it went to Memphis in like 2003-4? God chills.

Indina Menzel is a fantastic singer and actress. Her song, Show Yourself, is still awesome to listen to.

[@trinaq]

Preach, Idina is an incredible singer, and her song in the Enchanted sequel was arguably the highlight.

[@lisaschaffel266]

Totally I agree with you, she is so talented

[@manuelorozco7760]

@@trinaq That’s my favorite song in Disenchanted

[@MsBlackhawk69]

Such a powerhouse. The casting of Idina as Rachel Berry's mother on Glee was spot on, physically and vocally. At the beginning of #5 I thought it was Lea Michelle at first. 😂

[@go4brookle761]

I saw her in Wicked and she’s great. I wish I could sing. Her voice is amazing.

When I was 15 my piano teacher gave me a burned copy of the Wicked Cast Album, and gave me the gift of following Idina Menzel career. She’s the Disney princess we deserve.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I’ve been a fan since I heard her sing on that album too

[@jwindsor6274]

i love her voice it's so raspy. i especially loved that she voiced elsa, giving the character a much more unique voice than other princess characters

[@bighand1530]

There is gonna be a Frozen 3 if I’m not mistaken.

[@westerfrost3701]

@@bighand1530 Disney hasn’t announced anything about a third Frozen film yet. Hopefully they will at some point.

[@lisaschaffel266]

I hope they make the third installment from Frozen, and make new music in it. I hope they make another one sooner or later.

[@manuelorozco7760]

@@westerfrost3701 To be honest, I would be in more for a Disney Plus Frozen series. I skipped Frozen 2 after being spoiled of Anna’s coronation. And Into the Unknown didn’t motivate me enough

[@Cutiepenguin42]

Rent was one of the first musicals I saw as a teenager, and I became obsessed. I was so excited to see her tour in If/Then! She was so good.

[@vulpixfairy1985]

I just sang Let It Go for my workplace’s Christmas carols for the families and children attending (I work as a childcare educator). Listening to her sing made my heart soar and part of the reason I found the confidence to sing in public for the event.

[@kristenrock7783]

I work with kids too, and a lot of the kids love Elsa. I am sure your kid's loved it when you sang let it go. I sing also. I sing to my kids all the time, especially the Disney songs. 👑👑💗💗

Idina is a treasure and a gift. Every time she sings It's A reflection of what anyone has gone through hope love praise despair she covers all the emotions from A to Z. She's always bringing a song that moves people there's so much ahead for her and what we've heard so far is just truly amazing as touch so many people from all ages that will be with us through the test of time and always. Voices like her that move people she will forever sing amazingly beautiful ballads. Thank you Idina for serving the world with your beautiful voice and message every time you open up to that mic you're sending your heart to everyone

[@alejandra_asfa]

Idina takes the house wherever she goes. I think Idina, Adele and Celine Dion are the greatest singer of all times, and in this top 10 she reinforces more than ever that she was, is and will be the greatest 🥰

[@Josh-Stewart]

I saw her in concert in Detroit in 2008 and it was AMAZING!!!!🎉💙

[@Dangansona]

Idina’s vocals during Chess were top NOTCH! It still blows my mind it was all live

[@_wickedlyqueer]

she was phenomenal in Chess! ive watched it so many times for her alone!

[@spoonermum]

So underrated, I hardly ever hear it mentioned 😕

[@_wickedlyqueer]

@@spoonermum def not. Her haters definitely never bring it up either. They love to say she can’t sing and I always send them chess videos

[@VanessaDMusic]

Anthem reprise from chess is INSANE

[@sburris65]

Every performance she does is simply breathtaking 😍

[@trinaq]

I love Idina Menzel's voice, she finally got to sing in the Enchanted sequel. I wonder if John Travolta still thinks that her name is Adele Dazeem? 😂😉

[@chasehedges6775]

Her singing voice in the Frozen movies is 10/10

[@pepsiyummie1]

What I find hilarious is that we all literally will never ever forget the words “Adele Dazeem”. In a normal situation we would not easily remember that name but John Travolta made that stick in our brains. It’s there forever!

[@danieltran9634]

@@pepsiyummie1 it gets to the point that when you google Adele Dazeem, it shows Idina’s profile without any clarification. 😂 Like it officially became her name.

[@YarnDragonTracy]

Still can't believe I got to see her live in Seattle when If/Then went on tour. Such an amazing afternoon.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I regret not seeing it

[@BernardGreenberg]

I saw her perform on the 2023 Kennedy Center awards, and was blown away, and had to research to find out "Who was THAT!?!?!" I have no idea how this super-talented, super-gorgeous superstar escaped my notice up to this point. But no more: Thank you for curating and presenting this wonderful anthology of her work! PS. Seeing her with Streisand was like watching a torch being passed. It moved me to tears.

[@mjsisme]

As Idina Menzel's biggest fan, I would say welcome!

[@christinafast4459]

Best songs for me is Let It Go, Show Yourself, Defying Gravity, and Love Power

[@marionstorey5867]

So many wonderful performances by this brilliant singer and interpreter. The emotion ldina Menzel puts into a song renders it unique. Defying Gravity, Some Other Me, l'm Not that Girl, The Wizard and I, At this Table, For Good, Bridge over Troubled Water 2017 🎉 Go girl. ❤

[@katiebourassa14]

I ❤ Idina Menzeal

[@brewerbeargirl]

She is absolutely amazing and I love everything she does!!! I especially like Dream Girl. So appropriate for the movie and the storyline!!

[@briannastultz6924]

I’m partial to the Tony performance of Defyinh Gravity, especially knowing that she wasn’t feeling good but still did it.

[@jdcmr]

Everything in Barefoot at the Symphony is just iconic. Glad that was number 1

[@manuelorozco7760]

I can agree she did good with What I Did For Love! I remember watching the Kennedy Center Honors mainly for Morgan Freeman. It took me a while afterwards to sit down and watch Funny Girl. And I agree about Barefoot Defying Gravity

[@MikeTheNBAGuy]

One of the best singers of our time

[@TylerHNelsonBrowncoat]

RENT introduced me to Idina and Maureen is how I will always think of her.

[@jeffreyclarke736]

It is a great song, but how can it be both an honorable mention AND number one?

I think they mean specifically the BATS rendition

[@ericgjovaag7958]

The honorable mention was specifically listed as the 2004 Tonys performance. I was fully expecting to see that on the list, but ultimately, I was not disappointed in what took #1.

[@philipfarrell732]

MOVE

[@DM-br7vt]

Her tone is too nasal for me. And her belts are too inconsistent for me. Her lower register is where she shines most.

[@whitneyhouston1122]

Her belts like from C#5/D5-F5 are mainly in chest and the voice shouldn't be singing that high in chest. But F#5/G5-C6 is mainly in her mixed voice and it sound so good. Her low register is her most undeveloped register. She can support up to like a F#3/G3/G#3.

[@BeansPredi-ch6xk]

Nobody asked you!

[@janlewis77]

She has an amazing voice when she's recorded in advance with different takes. Seeing her live is really underwhelming honestly, especially when she's belting higher notes. There are much better live singers who are more consistent.

[@nattyboh2944]

I really wish I liked her voice. Seems like a pretty unpopular opinion, but ooof, it’s so screechy to me.

[@Newhorizons4u]

I will never understand her appeal
