 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Menzel, Idina
"Heart's on my Sleeve". The last song on this amazing CD is the gorgeous ballad "Heart on My Sleeve".
"But I will stand here before you, with no pride and prejudice. Just steadfast and certain that I will land on my own two feet. You think you can break me, bring my head down to my knees. But my power will defy you when my heart's on my sleeve."
| At the end of "Straw Into Gold", the lyrics "Spinning for ____" is repeated, different words filling the blank. In which order do the following words fill the blank? | Idina Menzel's "Still I Can't Be Still"
|
Mercy, Hope, Love, Gold. "Spinning for mercy. Spinning for hope. Spinning for love. Spinning for gold."
Madonna. "I wish I could fight against Ali and win, I wish I could write with Joni Mitchell's pen. Sail the Atlantic on a paddle boat, I wish I could smile like Bobby De Niro." Other celebrities mentioned in this song include Bono and Shakespeare.
The moon. All of the given answers are from the first verse of this song: "Do you think, do you think about the moon? Made you feel real special, cause it followed you everywhere. Do you think, Do you think about the sun showers? The way you like to run naked through them and shampoo your hair. Do you think about why we sneeze in the sun? Wish our freckles would just leave us alone! Do you think about when you're older? Will they make a Sunday night movie about your life, or do you think you have tattoos your grandkids are going to like?"
your babysitter. "Your babysitter" falls in the third verse: "I can be your babysitter (who let you stay up late), or your best friend's mother (a really hot date)". Because this is a very sexual song, Idina admitted in an interview to not wanting her Dad to hear it.
Lost and Found. "Do you dream in black and white, or are you coloring your lost and found to make it bright?"
This is also one of the two songs in which Idina questions the shape of the Earth, the other song being "If I Told You" from her independent record "Here".
the rain. "Down in Larissa's Lagoon, the skies they never looked blue, 'cause someone spiked the rain with a little extra juice."
Desperate Housewives. Idina Menzel along with many other female artists is featured on the "Desperate Housewives" soundtrack, released in September 2005. I believe they were going for an all-women theme to celebrate the power (and desperation) of women.
Wicked. Hopefully as an Idina fan, you know that she received a Tony Award for best actress in 2004 for her role as Elphaba in "Wicked." There's a hilarious parody of the moment in "Forbidden Broadway." She wore a really pretty blue dress, and of course Taye was with her!
Still I Can't Be Still. Idina has some awesome songs on "Still I Can't Be Still," released in 1998. She has such a beautiful voice with her high belt that anything she sings sounds amazing. Despite said awesomeness, however, her record label dropped her after her debut album. "Here," released in 2004, is the name of her sophomore CD.
a red track suit. Idina came on stage on January 9 wearing a bright red Adidas track suit.
Idina played Elphaba from the Broadway opening of "Wicked" on October 30, 2003 until January 9, 2005.
Jamaica. There are beautiful wedding pictures of Idina and Taye together in Jamaica on her fansites. They were right on the beach with the water just feet away from the ceremony. Taye was wearing a white suit which looked amazing on him and Idina looked so gorgeous.
Amneris. In 2000, Idina replaced Sherie Rene Scott as Amneris in "Aida." In fact, she sang a song from "Aida" at her audition for "Wicked".
"I would rather wear a barrel than conservative apparel for dress has always been...my strongest suit!"
Maureen. "Rent," a rock opera by Jonathan Larson, opened January 25, 1996 in the New York Theatre Workshop and opened April 29, 1996 on Broadway. Idina Menzel auditioned for "Rent" because January and February were the slow wedding season months and she needed another way to make money when she couldn't sing at weddings. She played Maureen, the bisexual performance artist who moos, from 1996-1997 - and she never sang at weddings again.
