Oh come on. She changed her name to Idina so it was easier to say and people still don’t get it right... *I-DI-NA* say it with me, *I-DI-NA* it’s not that hard!
Kristin's Costume was created specifically for that performance since they were performing in the freezing cold. It's literally something what G(a)linda would wear for the Holidays. She's also probably wearing the yellow dress under the blue dress. Also a few weeks before that performance, Kristin and Idina were performing Popular on the Today show and she got sick the next day (which the full cast was supposed to perform Defying Gravity on Letterman). Only Idina performed the song by herself.
I just read somewhere that the building was torn down. What is it with Orlando knocking down fully intact buildings? I've seen in other videos where they've knocked down the old Hard Rock Cafe building, old Race Rock building, now this, waste of time in my opinion.
It's to do with logistics, sound checking every production would be a nightmare to begin with and then who's sound mixer do you use? Do you have the mixer from the show come along? And then do they use a desk that isn't the one they are using a theatre? Are they using the mics from the show or mics provided by the TV station? If they use the mics from the show are they compatible with the sound desk provided by the TV show? How much time do they have to check this out between each segment etc etc. It would be a logistical nightmare.
@epacmo1807 It's because they're actually lip-syching and the only audio being sent over the air is the pre-recorded track. So you can scream it all you want. :)
