July 5th 2005 - Amazing performance, beautiful belt, clear riffs, my favourite Defying Gravity (quick fact, the first Defying Gravity I ever heard)! I love the 20 second applause she receives! Comment, Rate, Subscribe
there have been plenty of vocalists the were better than idina, thats the beauty of theatre though. its about creating your own authentic version of the character. both ladies did amazing jobs.
I will always prefer the heavy vibrato on "I'm flying high" she did (here) whenever she first started playing the part over the modified notes on the line she adopted later in her career as Elphaba.
