Idina responds: When I was young I studied classically, and then I started doing weddings and bar mitzvahs and I had to learn all this other kind of music--all the pop music and the Motown and the R&B--and I sounded too trained when I sang that.
Idina responds: I actually think that the Wizard of Oz witch is sort of the public persona of who she was, and Elphaba, the girl that I play, is behind the scenes of what Wizard of Oz fans didn't know.

Menzel addresses such issues in her songs, such as “Larissa’s Lagoon,” which discusses sexual abuse and other inner demons and how Larissa seeks comfort in her “singing hallelujah” or in the song “All of the Above,” which talks about sexual experimentation with a lover.
Menzel’s style and voice is similar to that of Taylor Dayne; however, Menzel does a lot more interesting things with her voice, such as changing from alto to soprano and also appearing to be reading her lyrics (in “Think Too Much”) in a musical manner, rather than straight out singing.
Menzel’s music and lyrics is very successful at getting this point across to her audience.

Maybe it's really not easy being green, but singer-actress Idina Menzel certainly managed all right as the bright-green witch Elphaba in the Broadway hit "Wicked," earning a 2004 Tony, not to mention the love of legions of pre-teen fans who identified with the misfit character.

I became a fan of hers after seeing her in "Wicked", and was completely swept away by her voice and magnificent performance (and to other "Wicked" fans, this CD is a lot like the song "I'm Not That Girl" in song type, tone, and style).
I bought the album because a lot of people were recommending it for the content of the album and not just to merely "hear Idina sing" (though, of course, the content of the album does include her vocal prowess).
Menzel gives us another album soon because she's a genuine musical talent with the chops to make it big in the mainstream.
