Her look and behaviour in this video are Jessie J coded

[Jamie£er]

Every video i've seen of her performing this song is always strained and harsh… girl lie down or pull a Celine and have a pre-record because my lord 

[MasterExpose]

This song did not need an encore

[BrokenMachine]

This is Idina core. She has been her whole career straining and squeezing out those high notes

She should lower the pitch….

This is a semitone lower already, but as long as she keeps belting with an awful technique, the result will always be the same

We love the "Dramatic" crooner

 

[EtherealCat]

shes sings like a more delusional christina

[liquiddiamonds]

She's so tired of this song lol

[Poxy]

I thought I saw the whole clip but it keeps going and going and going 

[Capris Groove]

She has one of the worst techniques of any famous singer, she barely made it through her initial Wicked run on Broadway. By the end her "Defying Gravity" was awful.

 

She's a great Broadway actress. But not singer.

it can happen to any live singer but there is no need to keep trying

I love my girl Idina down, but this is tea unfortunately. Even during the workshop days of the show she was struggling with some of the songs. 

By the end of her run on Wicked (I can't remember if it was after her Broadway run or West End run.) she needed to get vocal surgery because she blew out her vocal chords. (Which is a reoccurring issue with how vocally demanding the role of Elphaba is, but that's a whole different story.) 

 

OT: I still remember when she went viral for butchering the song on New Year's Eve.

Why is she still singing that song??? And why does she looks and feels like the older sister of Lea Michele

I don't understand why she always sings like that. Making that short "a" sound is rarely going to come out well. She should try a longer "a" like the one in car or an "oh" sound so it doesn't sound as harsh.

I will never understand how she got a Disney Princess voice gig. Chick got TERRIBLE intonation and her shrill ass voice is like nails on a chalkboard. I wonder if "deadly assault on the ears" is something Taye Diggs put down as one of his irreconcilable differences in their divorce
