These vocals during the Tony performance would have shut a lot of people up. The difference is huge. Most of the negative criticism, “pitchy”, “breathy,” etc, stemmed from the Tony’s. And the record shows, she was indeed under the weather that month and her vacation followed. Still waiting for this clip to be found in HQ.

Don't nitpick. When you are dealing with musical theater, you CANNOT separate the voice from the performance. The acting that happens both with the notes, and in the silences between notes, is a collective agent, a totality of art. It does not happen in a vacumn, but within the structure of a character and the confines of a plot. The magic can happen with impossibly narrow singing ranges, raspy vowel sounds Sometimes the musical theater star can't even hold a note, but the magic still happens. So don't nitpick. Its stupid and ignorant.

Here I am in 2024 sent here by the new Wicked movie trailer! Defying Gravity is one of my all time favorite Act One finales! Make us all proud Cynthia. While we are at it, I don’t blame Idina for how vocally demanding singing these lyrics are. But she can still slay a tune!

I got to hear her sing Defying Gravity while she was doing a filmed live performance of Let It Go at Disneyland when I was working there. I worked the filming and absolutely despise Let It Go now because of how much I had to listen to it very loudly that shift but hearing her sing Defying Gravity live was incredible. She sounded amazing and she was just warming up and killing time on stage

Idina may have an amazing voice, but not in this performance. This was not live. I t was lip synced. She is not wearing a microphone, and none is visible anywhere around her.

She was charged with electricity in this performance! Her voice feels so powerful, and that's probably her best high "I'm flying high deFYing Gravity!" And that "to FLY!" riff, though not as good as her San Francisco "to fly-ay!", sent shivers down my spine because I *felt* it

Idina is so wickedly talented. She totally let go of her thoughts and sang. I bet with a voice like that she has no problems with paying rent. Because it’s really enchanted.

I very much like Idina Menzel, she was excellent as Elsa and I heard her sing elsewhere & also very good; and her part (although non-singing) in the movie Enchanted, was great, however, I thought the first part of this performance was excellent until she went from singing to yelling, there is a distinct difference, and she yelled and cracked and toward the end - it was just getting awful. Maybe a bad night for her or strained vocals, but the end of that was literally terrible, sorry I'm sure viewing these comments that many may disagree, but I stand by my comment, it was just yelling/almost screaming, not singing on those wicked notes at the end.
