On September 22nd, 2016, Idina Menzel hosted a launch party for her new self-titled album "idina." at the Brooklyn Bowl. The fans who were lucky enough to score tickets got to witness what may have been her best performances to date.

The song I'm pretty sure everyone raved about - myself included - was her performance of her new single "Queen of Swords". Every song Idina Menzel has ever sang has been ridiculously vocally demanding and this is no different. Not only does the chorus contain some pretty high belting, but at the end of the song, Idina SOARS up to a high B flat on a mix belt, which, until she did it, I assumed was just not possible. Of course, hitting that note live on a belt seemed a bit ambitious, but Idina proved to be the queen of high belting. Move over Mariah and Beyoncé. Idina Menzel is not playing around anymore.

I've been a fan of Idina since 2003, when I saw her in Wicked. My parents have been fans since RENT, in which Idina made her Broadway debut in 1996. It was not surprising to any of us that Idina was still slaying the heck out of these high notes, even after 20 years. Her voice has been critiqued and torn apart relentlessly, especially after the Frozen craze, as if she wasn't simultaneously going through a divorce and doing 8 shows a week in If/Then (I am still bitter about that show getting such bad reviews. It changed my life), all of which I'm sure took a toll on her voice. Not to mention Let it Go is ridiculously demanding vocally. But I digress.

My point is, Idina Menzel is the most underrated singer. She's been in this industry for 20+ years. She deserves so much more than what she has gotten, and "Queen of Swords" proves this.

Idina Menzel is the queen of everything, and I have a feeling we're only just seeing the beginning of the blazing supernova that she is.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
