For Good popped up on my iPod, which is what brought me here looking at her profile and commenting.<br /><br /><br />That song is jawdropping between the two of them. I describe Kristin Chenoweth's voice in one word - perfect. That being said, I've fallen in love with Idina Menzel's voice. Maybe its her interpretation of the powerful character she plays or just a tone that gets me everytime. Listening to Kristin in the first part of that song, I'm just blown away by her and then when Idina starts singing, I just melt. (pun not intended, okay maybe :) )Joelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-23902619292556151682013-01-14T02:53:39.878+00:002013-01-14T02:53:39.878+00:00I believe that Idina is a Soprano instead of a Mez...I believe that Idina is a Soprano instead of a Mezzo-Soprano. Her voice is thin and child-like, making it sound rather inappropriate for full Mezzo Roles. Idina's voice sounds best in the upper part of her register, however, her head voice and full range needs to be developed more.Deminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-75313043204183663892012-10-17T00:53:19.736+01:002012-10-17T00:53:19.736+01:00I have to disagree.

It's quite annoying sounding actually. But I wouldn't say she's not a gifted singer, as back in the 90's, before Glee or Wicked, she was a massive success in the original cast of Rent, where she had a more raw sound. It's probably strange to prefer her raspy, slightly damaged vocals to her healthier trained sound she sports nowadays, but there's something more special about it.

I t...I hate the use of the word youthful as a plus. I think that is the only thing I hate about her voice (along with Amber Riley's straight singing and Lea at times). I think child-like is a better term and should be a negative. When she introduces weight and darkness to her tone is when it sounds amazing (such as Amber's belts and Lea when she isn't forcing a Britney-esqu pop sound)...which is why I think people believe Kerry Ellis, Shoshanna Bean and Eden Esperanza were better Elphabas, because they carried weight all across their registers. Idina tho is an amazing technical singer and I have seen her live on many occasions. I wish Glee would let her showcase it more tho...but her character is more of a tired, unspirited person so the original songs she sings lack gusto (which is a plus for her...energy)...but as you see in this past season, her voice when layered with Lea's sounds more powerful and colorful (which it is in real life)...even more so singing This Town/You and I. Her solo work and pre-Wicked work (Wicked can also be considered as a cause for thinning out her voice because of the drastically unnecessary high belts the amazing Swartz thought would be playful lol) showcase her colorful voice and technique much more. Diva, you should do one on Kristin Chenoweth and current Bway/TV crossover star, Megan Hilty.DrPaynenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-4749297260525496092012-03-08T21:07:31.631+00:002012-03-08T21:07:31.631+00:00Thank you!

BUt I think his reaction was in part due to unneccessary way people diss "Glee." Some of the bands didn't just decline the offer to feature their songs they would bash the show and on and on. One even made homophobic remarks about Ryan Murphy (the creator of the show) knowing he was gay and that the show tackles some gay issues (ex: the character of Kurt).Essiefieldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-30289703697776618722012-03-05T19:55:45.780+00:002012-03-05T19:55:45.780+00:00I reccommend watching the first season of Glee onl...I reccommend watching the first season of Glee only.
