6 Earth Shattering Idina Menzel Performances

Idina Menzel, nominated for a Best Leading Actress in a Musical Tony Award® for her performance as Elizabeth in If/Then, is known for her boundless vocal range and powerful belt. We've compiled a list of amazing Idina performances to prep you for the Tony Awards, this Sunday, June 8th (at 8/7c on CBS.)

6. "I Dreamed a Dream"

Via Glee

Fans always knew that they bore quite a resemblance. Idina guest starred as Lea Michele's character's mother for an arc on Glee. This knockout performance showcases both women's extraordinary talents.

5. "Don't Rain On My Parade"

Via The Kennedy Center Honors

This is one of Idina's self-proclaimed most nerve-wrecking performances. She performed Barbara Streisand's signature song to her at the Kennedy Center Honors -- and she nailed it!

4. "Take Me or Leave Me"

Via Rent/ Sony Pictures

Most people didn't know Idina before her breakout role in RENT. Idina played the catsuit-wearing larger-than-life protester, Maureen. Maureen's personality was big, but her belt was even bigger.

3. "Defying Gravity"

Via The Late Show With David Letterman

This was the performance that created a sensation. Idina's flight as Elphaba in WICKED drew unprecedented crowds to Broadway's hit musical and earned her a Tony Award. We're still impressed with those final notes!

2. "Let It Go"

Via Walt Disney Animation Studios

This is Idina's most watched performance to date. We picked the well-loved original but we could have easily chosen her amazing Oscar night performance or her light-hearted version accompanied by Jimmy Fallon and The Roots.

1. "Always Starting Over" from If/Then

Via CBS/The Tony Awards

The latest high-octane Idina Menzel solo came from this week's Tony Awards. Idina ripped the roof off of Radio City Music Hall with her performance of "Always Starting Over."
