The Wizard and I

I love the whole soundtrack for Wicked.  My favorite songs were always "Defying Gravity" and "I'm Not That Girl," but those two songs have been replaced on my list by "The Wizard and I."  Phenomenal.  That's all I can say.

Idina Menzel has such an incredible voice.  My favorite line of hers in this song is "He'll say to me 'I see who you truly are.'"  The way her voice sounds gives me chills.

My cousin told me that Idina got a standing ovation after performing this song when she saw the show on Broadway years ago.  I understand why.

I really wish I could sing like Idina Menzel.

Let It Go

To me, Idina Menzel has one of the best singing voices ever.  Not only does her voice just sound incredible, but her vocal range can't compare to the majority of singers around today.

The first time I heard her sing was when I heard "Defying Gravity" from the Broadway production of Wicked.  The last two minutes of the song brings goosebumps to my arms every single time I hear it.  She hits the notes and holds them for an impressive amount of time.

But most recently I was incredibly impressed with her performances in Disney's Frozen as Elsa.  I particularly love the song "Let It Go."  Menzel sounds completely flawless (as usual) and the song is very good as well.  Written by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, the lyrics fit her voice perfectly.
