    I have fallen in love with this woman's voice. Here from Disney's Frozen, Let It Go

    I went to NYU with her. We were studied acting. We sometimes sang some songs together. Nice person.

    I know a guy who once dated her before she became famous. She worked the "wedding circuit" on LI a long time ago. She certainly has hit it big.

    Very cool! Have you seen her in Wicked or in concert?

    Huge voice. If that doesn't win the Oscar, I'll be very surprised.

    My 8 year-old daughter loves her. She saw her in Wicked with my wife, and Frozen is her favorite movie now.

    Yeah, it's a beautiful performance, but a big part of it, for me, is how good the song is. Pristine pop. Such a great song.

    I saw her 10 years ago in the original cast of Wicked. She was outstanding and deservedly won the Tony.

    Her album "I Stand" is quite good. Produced by Glen Ballard.

    Congratulations To Idina and the rest of the crew of FROZEN!!

    Let It Go in 25 languages.(Is Idina doing all of these? If not they found outstanding voice doubles!)

    I fixed the spelling of her first name in the thread title and a few posts. John Travolta may not be able to read her name off a teleprompter, but darn it, *we* are going to at least spell it right here at SHF. :laugh:

    I thought her performance at the Oscars was a little bit rough, but I am guessing there was some kind of monitoring issue having to do with the orchestra and conductor being remotely located at Capitol studios. At least it was live, though. :)

    I'm glad the song won but her performance wasn't great.

    she literally screamed the entire song last night, screamed.

    just a terrible performance.

    U2 was just the opposite, just outstanding.

    It sounded like she could barely hear herself on the monitor. Maybe she should have gone acoustic like U2 and Karen O. to avoid having to deal with the remote orchestra. She is a pretty accomplished live performer so nerves and lack of ability are not likely culprits.

    The first thing I said was, "whoa -- I bet she can't hear her own voice in the monitors."

    I'm glad the song won, and that was my pick two weeks ago as well for the Oscars.

    Idina performed "Let It Go" on The Tonight Show last night, with Jimmy and the Roots in one of the "classroom instruments" segments. It was great...

    It didn't help that chopping the song in half to suit the time requirements killed the dynamics of the song, while leaving only the shouty bits in.

    "shouty bits"???

    What I mean is, with all the quieter sections removed, it seemed like she just shouted through the song. There was no place for her to go. It was a bad arrangement.

    Idina is a great person but all this backlash about the John Travolta mispronouncing her name is really getting out of hand. Enough already. I'm hoping her publicist isn't helping fuel this. My God, the horror.............. :)

    1: Idina is a tremendous talent. 2: The fast pace, hacked-down arrangement, and (likely) problems with hearing her monitor led to a mediocre performance at best. 3: Travolta...what the heck? I mean, that wasn't even close..."Adele Dazim?"

    I've been kind of enjoying it. The memes seem to be more directed at Travolta than at mentioning Menzel. My favorite so far is the "Travoltify Your Name" app posted by Slate:
