The Tony Award-winning singer and performer with the powerfully recognizable voice is arguably the most widely recognized Broadway star in the country. Menzel is well known for her iconic roles in musicals like <em>Wicked, If\/Then <\/em>and <em>Rent<\/em> and has stood out in memorable supporting roles in <em>Glee<\/em> and <em>Enchanted. <\/em>But to millions of children and adults worldwide, she will forever be known as the voice behind Elsa, the magically-imbued queen in Disney\u2019s smash blockbuster <em>Frozen<\/em>. Her standout song in that movie, \u201cLet It Go,\u201d is one of the most popular songs of all time and has been streamed over 155 million times.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, if that\u2019s not a superheroic feat, we don\u2019t know what is. So of course we asked Menzel if she\u2019d mind assembling our latest Wonder Woman 75<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary playlist. Her sure-to-please list features over twenty different artists from all throughout popular music, including Aretha Franklin, Beyonce, No Doubt, Stevie Nicks, Diana Ross and more.

I was 16 years old and I would try to copy every note. The higher she sings, the more effortless it sounds and that has always been my goal\u2014in singing and in life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cVideo\u201d \u2013 India.Arie <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When \u201cVideo\u201d came out, I fell in love with India\u2019s voice. She has always had such strong sense of who she is as an artist and as a woman. I love that the song is really pared down\u2014acoustic guitar and voice\u2014she doesn&#8217;t need to hide behind anything.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI\u2019m Coming Out\u201d \u2013 Diana Ross<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I just love this song. I would dance around my room singing this with a toothbrush in my hand as a microphone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cEnough is Enough\u201d \u2013 Barbra Streisand &amp; Donna Summer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My sister and I grew up singing \u201cEnough is Enough\u201d together in the living room. \u00a0I, of course, sang the Barbra part and she sang Donna.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThat Thing\u201d \u2013 Lauryn Hill<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lauryn Hill is one of my all time favorite voices. She has so much power, grit and wisdom in her voice. I wish we could hear more.<br \/>\nYou can also find Menzel\u2019s Wonder Woman playlist on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/user\/official_dc\">the official DC Spotify Profile.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If singing were a super power, you could make a good case that Idina Menzel is Wonder Woman.
