- Idina Menzel sings her smash hit song "Let It Go" from the movie 'Frozen' during her solo concert at Radio City Music Hall on Monday (June 14, 2014) in New York City.
It was the end of the night, and her voice was probably shot from all the belting she does. She was trying to save it some. She does it for the fans, and is real. She messes up just like everyone and we know she isn't perfect all the time and can't be, but love her anyways.
She didn't mess up here at all. I think she did wonderfully.
Thank you for posting this!!!!!!! It's good to see that someone understands :)
Violet Manu I agree :)
@@waymilky442 that final belt was as flat as a pancake
@@uhuhuh1966 Nope.
She is doing 8 shows a week on broadway at the moment,that takes a giant toll on a persons voice,for those critisizing,let's hear you sing.
1) Her ear piece was messed up, which explains her messed up lyrics. All stars, no matter how familiar they are with their own song, depend on the ear piece.
2) She sang the song 1 key higher than the studio version, which explains why she always has trouble with the last note. She did this at the Oscars as well. She needs to just stick to the original, but the beginning is really hard since it's so deep, so I can see why she does this.
3) This was her final song of the night, and it was a hard one to sing, especially since it's after Defying Gravity as well.
SO STOP CRITICIZING HER. She did amazing!
1) then maybe it might have been smart to have actual monitors in case the ear piece fell out... oh wait she did:) 2) Yea bad choice but one thats kinda necessary. Id rather sound bad low than sound bad high, thats my opinion. 3)If it is after defying gravity she should be plenty warmed up then. 4) when you are a star you open yourself to criticism. She held the concert, and sang songs she couldn't sing. I see no reason to not criticize her choices, both from an health and vocal stand point.
1) I agree lol. 2) I agree once again 3) It's like working out. Warming up is the preparation stage. At the end of a workout, your body doesn't perform as well as it would at the beginning. Her performance here follows the same principle. Let It Go was her last song of the concert, and it would make sense that her vocals are not at her strongest, especially using most of her energy on Defying Gravity. That's what I meant. 4) Stars are open to criticism in EVERY aspect of their life. Do you suppose that if she opens a concert, she shouldn't sing Let It Go or Defying Gravity? Yes, she could have taken safer alternatives when singing either song, but that shouldn't be an excuse to criticize her as being bad, because quite frankly she wasn't. It's evident that she has been practicing singing under pressure since her Oscars performance. She can out sing many MANY artists, and not many can sing this song as well as she can (I'm sure we all know why). Whether her singing is good or not is subjective to our own opinion. Criticism is good when done respectively, however it's not when it has negativity implied. Commenting that her singing was disappointing and bad... is it really necessary? We don't have any reason why we shouldn't criticize her, but do we have any reason for saying such negative things about her performance when it truly wasn't as bad as people think? That was where I was getting at, so perhaps we misunderstood each other. I do agree with you on many things, but having an excuse to criticize her in such manners is not one of them.
Agreed. Until the criticizing part. While yes I agree, that she has an amazing voice and she has a better voice than a lot of stars. She does not have a better voice for the role than other broadway actresses ( I should have clarified so that is my fault). I also stand by saying her singing was disappointing, mainly if she is singing let it go I kinda expect her to be able to sing it. The final note was harsh and screamed, instead of sung. It would be like me trying to sing "valjeans soliloquy" from les mis. I am a baritone, so thats isnt an appropriate song for me to sing in concert. And if I sing it, i open myself up for critics. Just like she has. While is wasnt a horrible performance it just wasn't good, and as a performer she should know better than to sing something she isnt fit to sing anymore. But like you said, at the end of the day, it all comes down to opinions. Your thoughts were well thought out and I thank you for taking the time to express them so thoroughly.
I appreciate your thoughts and opinions as well, so thank you for doing that. I still believe that she is able to sing it live, but it's because of the amount of pressure she receives when she does do it that limits her talent. Let It Go was one of the biggest reasons why she's so popular right now. She was popular in her broadway days as well but we can agree that Let It Go was insanely successful, and people will expect her to sing it at her concerts. I understand your point, but I don't think Idina feels the same way. I think Idina does think she can sing it live, but it's due to a collection of factors why she couldn't perform at her best during this concert and her Oscars performance. Perhaps we can agree to disagree?
Agreed.
let the storm rage AHHHHHHHHHHH
I thought this was her best live performance yet. I love this song so much and she did amazing and looked beautiful as well
She was having trouble hearing herself THROUGHOUT the show they couldve fixed her ear in, explains why she kept taking them off lol but she hit that last note so clear yasss!
Ben Jatha i agree but her belt at the end was actually pretty good singing the right key this time. although the vocal production wasnt as healthy as it should be, its still pretty darn good.
Ben Jatha She HAS stopped shows when she feels it was necessary.
She is a PROFESSIONAL and she knows what she's doing!!
She always sounds amazing, but there was something special about this performance! Congrats Idina, wish I could have been there.
I was there!!! She was outstanding! I cried multiple times.
When she sang this on Jimmy Kimmel with him and The Roots she did amazing. She's a Broadway star, but she's not perfect. I love her no matter what and her voice can be amazing. It's an extremely hard song to sing. Especially when there's so much expected since it's Frozen and she played Elsa herself. People don't seem to understand that she's singing as Idina though. She's not in character.
That was Jimmy Fallon. Not Jimmy Kimmel.
What Idina was thinking during this song: "F*CK IT ALL, F*CK IT ALL! I DON'T GIVE A SH*T ANYMORE!"
Lets be real YO got that from a meme didn't you... BUSTEDD
Nilli Noori So? xD
Touché.
Nilli Noori
;p
Ben Jatha, pointing the microphone at the audience.. is who she is and how she runs her shows. I've seen her live 3 times, and that's part of who she is... she likes to engage and interact with her audience. It's not a "cheap trick" she ALWAYS does that.. at the shows I've been to anyway. When I've seen her, she ended with Defying Gravity and let the audience sing part of it. It shows how much she loves and cares about her fans that she wants them to participate in her shows.
She does sing songs that fit her voice perfectly. Plus Let It Go was written specifically FOR HER TO SHOW OFF HER VOCAL RANGE.
I am a long time huge fan of Idina, and I think she did a wonderful job. Especially with it being at the end of the night.
The 2 times I've met her, her voice has been a little scratchy, but that's just because she gives it 150% at all her shows. She gives it everything and has never let me down.. I just LOVE the way she runs her concerts. Having trouble with her earpiece...that just shows that she's human and makes mistakes. Nobody's perfect. She has stopped the show before when something's gone wrong with her earpiece or microphone when she feels it's completely necessary.
She is a fabulous performer and obviously loves what she does. She has a Tony and has such a fabulous career.
Nelly Furtado is back having hit songs and performing in front of big audiences, good to see that. :3
Sick and tired of ever since the release of Frozen, people saying that she "can't sing". As a music major in university, I can safely say that YES. SHE CAN CLEARLY SING. And extremely well at that. Idina is one of the greatest, most unique voices in the industry. She's a woman in her 40s now, so her range is not exactly what it was when she was in her 20s. That's what happens to your voice over time. ESPECIALLY if you're a performer who does vocally demanding shows 8 times a week for months on end. So what if the last note isn't perfection, it's still relatively on pitch and better than it was at the Oscars. Either way, the last note isn't the whole performance. If you listen through this entire video, she sings the rest of the song PERFECTLY and the final note is a minor detail. Everyone needs to get a grip.
Everyone bashing Idina - I'd like to see you all do a live show. Good lord. I saw her live in Pittsburgh and she was FANTASTIC.
Let it go is such a hard song to breath with she sang a lot of song this is her closing song i understand how hard to be a singer she pulled it off anyway i love shes my inspiration ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing performance.
She was amazing !
She did it way way better. She have a powerful voice!
Still sounds amazing!!!
For those hating on her her voice in the movie was doctored and turned to magic tune to make her voice fit inside the character and I remind everyone
SHE IS NOT ELSA
SHE IS FUCKING IDINA MENZEL!!
Why are people being critics? So she misses a note or screws up words. Nobody is perfect. You shouldn't dismiss Idina's talent based on these small things. What about all the notes and words we got correct. I know they out way the bad ones. She is Phenomenal!!!!
She was AMAZING last night!!!! Still on cloud 9 from seeing her! :)
She does give you a special feeling when you see her live... :)
I'd love to be in the audience and blast it out! LET IT GO! I did at the one at Disney. I practice this song every day as of a few days ago or so or something.
Now if only she had the time and opportunity to deliver that on the Oscars, would have been amazing :)
one of the singers dat sound good without autotune. ;-)
Her eyes are so beautiful while singing
I always think she's gonna cough because of the way she sings. But she doesn't. She is awesome!!!!
#Respect
aww you could see at the end she was disappointed
This is a much better performance than her Oscar performance. She is more comfortable here and she actually has better vocal quality here than the previously stated performance. To people saying she is flat on the High Eb Belt at the end of the song, its not that she is flat, she hit the note dead on but then it started to waver fore syncing back into the key. Though this is an excellent performance. fantastic Idina.
OMG IM SO SPEECHLESS! !!
Love this song!
Honestly to me personally I dont really care if she screwed up the last note or if she was out of tuned, im just glad that she finally sang the whole song the way it should be sung live, not like how she did it at the oscars or any other time that she got the chance to sing it.
Real beautiful loved it
Almost there, she was amazing in everything but the second chorus and the big note.
It seems like whenever she does this live, she hits that last big note a half a beat too early. It's really weird.
she does that with the high F (last "me") at the defying gravity song too. i think its a trick she uses so the orchestra would cover up her voice as she helds the note just in case she goes off key.
FINALLY a good performance of Let It Go!!!
She Sounded AWESOME, Anyone Who Says Different Can Get Off The Video
her voice is fucking amazing.
I feel like this song makes her really nervous as a performer. She's noted in interviews about how she thinks she's crazy to have wanted to perform it in the key the song is in, but did it because it fit the character more. I feel like she dreads performing this song whenever she has to, so it takes away from her performance. This song requires lots of energy, lots of breath support and precise timing. It's sped up here, just like it was on Oscars night, and it probably only makes it more difficult for her to sing. Her voice has deepened naturally, it's no secret, so she has a hard time sustaining high belted notes. She's a great talent, there's no doubt about it, I just wish she'd take better care of herself vocally! All of those forced/pushed belts are gonna harm her.
I love all of your songs hmm maybe you could
every songs in the world.!
What happened to the golden voice Idina? I still admire you.
She still had it.
Did they repeat the second half of the first verse in the second half of the second verse? Still a stunning performance LIKE WOW I love Idina so much!
Wonderful!
So funny cuz she messed up at the exact point I mess the song up at, too... And especially since it was her concert, I don't know why they sped the song up... But whatever, the show was still amazing, and she is PERFECT. She wins!
It's nice she gets the audience involved in the chorus
She sings really good
So good and I just got the Kat Perkins version from the voice season 6 and I think the MTA should use Idina's voice as a Mind the gap announcement for Metro North or LIRR
All of you haters, have any of you been nominated for three Tonys?
Sounded good enough for me. No one is perfect. Still a great song.
YEAHHH IDINAA!!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
I think what people have to realize is that let it go really is a hard song to sing! And I bet singing it live and having so many people expecting it's supposed to sound a certain way would be VERY nerve racking! Yes Idina can definitely sing and barely any one can hit that last note perfectly and I bet there was a lot of practice on the actual recording of the song and probably had many tries ( not to mention auto tune as well)
Very good
Is it just me or does she sing this song much faster in most of her performances? I think the best one was when she did it with Jimmy Fallon. Her Oscar performance was good except that last note but she also sang the song faster than it is supposed to be. Also, every time she finishes singing Let it go, it seems like she immediately wants to get off the stage, as if she doesn't like performing it. Am I the only one who noticed this?
***** I have no idea, but she did it at the Oscars and here and idk where else. It sucks, maybe it's because she was off-key in all of them and didn't think it was the best performance? I wish I knew what's wrong.
Marcos Navarro She is not off key...
Because the band follows along her, that's the point of a live band...but if you play the original music next to each other, you'll see that she is.
You can a song in whatever key you want. That is not off key. She may not be singing in the ORIGINAL key but she is not off key in this performance. Songs get transposed all the time.
lilbudgie1 If your not hitting what the note is supposed to be, you are off key. She is off key.
I got goosebumps when she sang the past is in the past
She's very talented, and I give her props for sing this hard song when she was having problems with her earpiece and while also tired as this was the last song of the night. This was better than her Oscar performance, but I've still seen her do better live. Elizabeth and Maureen fit her better than Elsa and Elphaba do.
FLAWLESS
This comment section was surprisingly useful
Can I just say something to all of you who say this song isn't within her range?
IT WAS WRITTEN SPECIFICALLY FOR HER AND TO SHOW OFF HER VOCAL RANGE!!!!!!!!!
That is all.
Yes, it was but she said herself that she asked them to make the song higher the day of the recording because her voice that day was higher and she though she could singing that way. Then at the Oscars she said "What was I thinking?"
It was written for her perceived range, or her range on a good day. She's still flat on the last note (not as much as usual but flat nevertheless), and would have benefited more from lowering the key even just half a step. She really needs to work on her technique or she's going to develop some nasty vocal nodules. You can't belt the way she does forever without losing your voice at some point.
2:43 that was a great belt.
Just wave glowsticks all the time and stand during the entire concert. :)
This video is what its all about seeing a performer live in person. Personally, I think she sang it just fine.
If you want 100% perfection - then go see a vocaloid perform instead of a real live human being. The audience at those shows stand for the ENTIRE 2 hours and 20 minutes and never sit down.
If this concert was on the same day as the vocaloid concert, I would go and see this instead. I would be nuts to miss any opportunity to hear this song live from the very person who (Idina Menzel) made it so special, even if she isn't singing it 100% perfectly.
To everyone who keeps saying she should've stopped the show and fixed it. She could've sure, but being a professionally trained thespian, she's taught the show must go on no matter what. It doesn't matter what technical difficulties there are.
All though since it was the last song of the concert... I might've done that.
My parents watched James brown before he died and he got so ticked off with the people in the sound booth that he stopped the entire show and waited until they fixed it. Put the idiots on the spot lol
this song.. ♥ ♥ ♥
LET IT GO!!!
wow Idinamenzel
To sing in the original key is a savage workout live even for the greatest singers. This lady is superb her voice is fucking biblical!! Lol
i luv ya
I like how she screams oooooooooooon as loud as she possibly can .
She's amazing! Love her voice. But did anyone else think she was going a little fast? Idk - it was great either way!
Yeah, she was kinda singing it faster. But it makes sense because the movie version was a bit slow and not in a great tempo for a concert.
Yeah I thought she was singing it a little fast too..
ILOVE IDENA BUT it seemed that she was just going thru the motions......rushing the tempo...and just wanted to get off stage.....imo......that said ...she still has one of the best voices of today!!....and everyone should go see IF\THEN.......she is amazing!!!!!!
.....thanks for posting!!!
yes she was struggling with lyrics but that was cool
love how she let the audience sing with her
Omg didnt know shelby from glee Rachel berrys Real mom (in the serie) was the one who sang the let it go song
She messed up like 3 times I was like IDINA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
She does tend to forget her lyrics a lot... and it's kinda cute.. :)
At least I think so..
Even the top performers can mess up. And since this was the end of the show I'm sure her voice is tired
Don't they have teleprompters to avoid problems like these?
SHE'S PROBABLY SUNG THAT SONG OVER A THOUSAND TIMES...THERE WILL BE FLAWS AT TIMES...TRUST ME....
I love you Indina Menzel... But... I like so much of you that, not normal...........
Poor English.
why does every live version they have her do sound sped up?
Respect her, not evertbody can sing like that, she is not a perfect girl, so human do mistakes
I like this version better than the oscars one. This song is really not easy to be sung live and it was at the end of the show when her vocal cords must be really getting strained.
Idina always sings her broadway songs really well because she belts them out day after day (DG and ASO were awesome). She might do this song better if she sings it everyday but yeah....the high F will most probably ruined her voice.
I'm not going to lie, "Let it Go" is a pretty tough song to sing. It's on par with "The Star-Spangled Banner" in terms of vocal range, so I understand what Idina is going through as she is singing this song. But she still sounds great nonetheless!
That high note at the end she never gets right live :P
Yes she does.
The song was written for her range, she has this notes, but this song is very, very hard to sing. It goes to Eb5's in the three chorus and then the big one at the end. She was very good throughout most of the performance. The first part was perfect. "the past in in the past" was very solid...
I love Idina, but it's a shame that she often forgets the words to what is ultimately her biggest song
Go Adele Dazeem!
Ooops she forgot the lyrics in the second verse. but she did so much better this time!
Hi
Maybe it's just me, but I think it's cute when she forgets the lyrics.. :)
this isnt me ripping on her personally, but i royally hate it when you go to a live performance and the singer has the audience sing certain parts instead of singing it themselves. i've been to numerous concerts, metallica, megadeth, volbeat, avenged sevenfold, blue oyster cult, and EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. did that. it's like i'm paying good money for these tickets, i don't want to hear the audience sing your songs, i want to hear YOU sing it. in fact i specifically remember metallica's singer letting the audience sing the entire refrain to master of puppets. it irritates me every time.
No offence, but it's actually a thrill for the performer to hear an stadium full of people singing your songs. Everyone will do it, there's no avoiding it. I have gone to many shows too, Within Temptation, Amaranth, Garth Brooks, Tori Amos to name a few, and every single one I see them thrive off the audience participation, if it annoys you then I don't recommend going to shows. I do see your point you pay to hear them sing not the tone deaf person next to you.
I think she was doing it to cover her earpiece fucking up, she fiddles with it a fair bit
MrFisty86 yea. I'm like ohh man.. That must've been pretty annoying for her to do that, especially whole singing a major hit song!
omg the last note... onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn lol
Problem?
the monitoring is always a problem :S i agree that other singers will be able to sing this last note spot on without in-ear monitoring, but you can see that as she was singing the song she has to let the audience sing one or two phrases, and you can tell she is not enjoying this one probably because she was disappointed with the monitoring...but if i was her i would have lowered the key to play safe..
This is her best live performance of Let it go that I have heard so far. Her live performances of the song always sound rushed, forced and strained to me. To me it seems like she puts all of her focus on the difficult parts of the song (totally understandable!) , leaving it sounding a bit emotionless. Then again, I'm no singer and I absolutely adore her nonetheless!
I don't understand why she is singing it higher than the original. Sounds a little forced.
I love the song and I love Idina, but this didn't sound good.
It's not higher than original. It's the same key.
Violet Manu It actually is 1 key higher than the original, because the beginning is a little too deep to sing live after a whole show, I guess. that's why she struggled with the last note. But it was still amazing
***** I can only imagine that a small few could pull that song off in that key. It really is a marvel.
I thought it sounded..great! But'd love to hear others give it a shot!
I love her voice and I love the movie frozen
She was having all sorts of trouble with her earpiece
That happens to her a lot.. haha
Sometimes it seems like she's sick of singing this song, which I can understand! :)
Do you think there's 2,000 people in Carnegie Hall disappointed that she's not actually green? Don't get it at all
This version seemed abit faster and she does seem abit nervous =P
Why does the band or orchestra or whatever is always faster which doesnt let her get the right amount of time to produce the right notes
The high E-flat at the end is extremly hard if you hate using any head resonance and screams straight out of the mouth
She looked OVER IT at the end of this haha
this woman needs to learn to mix. her belts would be so much better if she added more head voice. it would prevent from screaming or cracking.
she is so nervous!!
No. She is a professional singer.
Maybe Idina doesn't get her last note right because she's been singing on her concerts alot !
Look Ben Jadda whatever the hell your name is. You do realize she is going through a really rough time right now..... I am not going to get into that though. You need to just back off from her and stop talking shit about Idina. I have seen her 3 times. She is hurting a lot....
Last note was flat, but rest was pretty amazing. Honestly, who can blame her, she was probably tired from the show and having trouble hearing herself. Very hard to sing if u cant hear yourself...
I love idina and everyone who says that she cant sing is totally wrong .But for Willemijn did a better performance and the should have asked her to perform at the oscars .Yes this song is pretty hard to sing but she always hits every note with ease and perfection .I just think idinas Voice used to be so good but since Wicked she cant really hit high notes above the D
