"This is an awesome CD of Idina's and her newest one is even better. Dont pay the insane amount these people are asking for it used. If you go to Idina Menzels personal website u can order the CD's for a under $20. U can also buy the new CD at the Gershwin Theater in NY if you go see Wicked. I have been an Idina fan since she first started in Rent. She is just an amazing singer/songwriter/performer. Go out and get her CD's and get them through her site. The CD's these people are selling with holes punched in them are free samples sent out to people from the company which means Idina gets nothing out from ur purchase. Call me crazy but when I purchase a CD for an insane amount of money I want that money to go to the artist."
Excellent

"Idina has an excellent voice, and this CD is worth the money for any fan of Wicked, or Idina herself. The songs are excellent, "Still I Can't Be Still" shows off her vocals, and "Think too Much" is fun & funky."
This Album Still Blows Me Away After 5 Years

"I bought this album in 1998.It is still one of my most-played CDs. I don't understand why she's not a household name. Her lyrics are soul-searching and powerful, just like her unbelievably versatile voice. This album combines some of the most poetic and personal lyrics since Joni Mitchell with an appealing blend of pop, funk, rock, soul, hip-hop, funk, R&B ballads, and even techno-tribal sounds. My personal favorites include the introspective title track and her dark opus "Straw Into Gold". Idina is AMAZING! Buy this album any way you can!"
Fantastic!

"I personally listen to a wide veriety of music ranging from Broadway to Evanescence. I recently heard Idina sing in Wicked and I was blown away by the soundtrack alone. I then found out that she had a album. I imediatly went looking for it and I was lucky enough to come across a copy. I am still blown away by it. It isn't soul or jazz or rock... I can't place it... she is her own genere. This is the best album I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. I would recomend it to anyone over the age of 13. She is a fantasic singer by all strands of the imagination. Her album is about her past and her life in New York City. Listening to the songsg you can really hear her personality come through. My favorite songs at the moment are Heart on My Sleeve, Straw into Gold, Fool out of Me, and Think Too Much. She is a fantastic singer but sadly, her album isn't sold anymore. I got my copy on ebay. Good luck finding a copy and it is very worthwhile. This is her best album."
Idina is just....amazing. I don't know what else to say lol

"i first found out about idina when i bought the wicked soundtrack but it wasnt long before i became a fan of her as a singer and an actress. she has an incredible voice...beyond belief. this album is an example of not only how amazing her voice is (which is a given) but how great her song writing skills are. her lyrics are heartfelt and give you a peek into her heart and mind. my favorite is "still i cant be still" (its my anthem to put it simply) but i also love "minuet" (the video is ADORABLE with taye) and "heart on my sleeve". "straw into gold" is really good...i love the beat. personally, i can relate to a lot of her songs which i can't do with other artists. basically, the entire album is great. i definitely reccomend it!"
