Don't wish, don't start.

I like Idina so much that it’s hard for me to be mean to her, I have to put my feelings aside. But when the curtains come down after she’s flown at the first act, and she’s stuck up in the air waiting to come down, she’s all alone. So I always wait for her and touch her just so she know we’re in this together.

Idina came back for the second audition, I think that’s when it became really clear to us that she was the perfect choice. I mean, she hit ‘Defying Gravity’ out of the ballpark, though while she was singing it, she got to the end where she goes, “Never gonna bring me—” and her voice cracked really badly. I think she swore! And then hit the final note. And she went home crying because she thought she screwed it up.
