Defy Gravity
She does not get as much attention as she should. She Idina should be just as popular as Kristin Cheneweth. Some of the songs aren't so great, but her voice never faulters. Better than I had imagined it would be.

Wicked goes dance!
When I read the other reviews about this CD single I was a bit worried. No need to be: I love the musical Wicked and I love this CD just as much!!! Who couldn't like Idina? I like how it can easely appeal to younger audiences having the modern dance sound....who knows they may even be dancing to it in night clubs. I deffinately suggest this CD to any Wicked/Idina fan.

Defying nothing
I am such a fan of Wicked, and Defying Gravity is by far one of my all-time favorite songs. But the CD singles - ugh. Apparently, what makes Defying Gravity such a captivating and enchanting song is the character from Wicked. The CD singles, with it's pop/hip hop versions has NONE of the charm of the stage version. Spare yourselves the heartache and stick with the Broadway CD.

it was good
This song was good but it took some of the emotion out of the original song and made it sound more like one of the songs you here when you go into and abercrombie but the song is good (dont buy the remix's thought they are just lareger versions of this song)

disappointment
I love Idina Menzel, but I was disappointed in this CD because it wasn't what I expected. That's probably my fault for not checking into it more closely and listening to it in advance. It's nine different versions of "Defying Gravity," but none of them anything like the original show tune. They're mostly hip-hop type versions with a lot of pounding bass and percussion with nothing else happening. I hated it and gave it away.
