I love Idina soooooooooo much!!!!!!!!! She sings perfectly in this song!!!!!!! It's the best I've heard her sing ever! She is my hero and I will be a Fanzel forever!
WOW!!! 10 YEARS since Idina recorded this!!!! FUN FACT: Idina recorded this and premiered the song at Carnegie Hall while she was pregnant with Walker.
WHATS GOING ON HERE? I LOVE IDINA TOO, AND I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT HER PREGNANCY YESTERDAY, ANNDDD I HAD NO CLUE THEY WERE GUNNA PLAY HER MUSIC!!! i wish i knew, shes so beautiful, and her voice makes the fireworks look good.
@chubssochubby Thanks. The TV version sucked... back recording all around, they just didn't understand that fireworks tend to be louder than people singing. I think I'm going to have to pick up her new CD (This song isn't on there though).
i completely forgot about her singing for this. you can guess how surprised / excited i was to be sitting there and randomly hear Idina's wonderful voice :)
Well she has won a Tony, but you are completely right. She deserves far more awards than she has received and she definitely deserves more than the auto-tuned voices heard today.
"I've got a hope for us to share, and as those rivers flow I dream of being with you where we can be one nation truly free..." This may be an extremely late reply but since I didn't see any reply to the comment I just thought why not.
I know it's been a few years since she sang this song but I still can't get over the fact that I didn't get on the site on time to download this song. I guess it's just that good (but then again I think everything Idina Menzel is awesome). Does anyone here perhaps got a copy and is willing to send it to me?
Oh my god are you serious?!?!? I've been begging the NY Pops through email to post it again haha. I would love a copy please and thank you generous human being. 😁
This will always be a mystery to me. Cause we can't see Idina anywhere, and she was 7 months pregnant at that time, so obviously she wasn't singing live. But, the orchestra is still playing! So either way:the orchestra doesn't really play, which would be ridiculous! Or another song was played at the event, and they added this music for the TV. Or they just recorded Idina singing a capella and the orchestra was really playing over the record. But still none of these propositions really make sense
I want this song sooo badly!!!
GORGEOUS!
Idina

Fanks for posting.
when TheaterMania announced that Idina and Audra would be singing it said they were prerecorded. so Yes you are right.
ah, she sounds amazing!

The orchestra was live, but Idina's voice and the choir was prerecorded.

ROCK ON IDINA for getting the big firework song!!!
Although as this wasn't live I don't really get why they were miming the orchestra...
:-P

well shes 7 months pregnant so in 2 months baby comes lol
Btw, does anybody know if it's an original song, or if it's just a cover? If it is, does anybody know who wrote it?
well ya... it's really loud.... if it was live... nobody would hear her... with all the fireworks and shit.
