funny how she plays Lea’s mum in Glee and Lea sang this in Glee

[unicorngirl]

The fact that this was in 2008 and that she still looks like that 11 years after scares me 😂💖

[megans]

Lea’s version is still my favorite. She kills this song every time she sings it. Although I love Idina, I didn’t really like her version of it.

[joyenchanted]

She was having the time of her life on that stage, it makes me so happy.

[valentinahuidobro]

Why is this video full of judgy glee fans? Idina Menzel is a wonderful singer, you are really mean.

[valerieaurelia]

Give it a break guys, she did this song her way and I think her version is just as beautiful as Lea's or Streisand's. You can't compare them cause they are different and great in their own way.

[Thornus_______]

Lea sings it at a slightly higher tempo but Idina's range is perfect

PSA!

Idina has asthma and this song is CRAZY hard to sing. Let’s all just be grateful that she graced the world with her talent. She is singing her heart out!! It’s the easiest thing in the world to tear down someone’s art, but let’s just not.

Xoxo

Idina: *says shes Barbra’s biggest fan just after calling her StreiZand*

Barbra: Sure, Jan

[daydreamingdoormat]

Oh my gosh. I see so many comments on how lea should have sung this or how she would have done it better. I'm just here to appreciate Idina's vocals because wow that is some talent.

[susannitkewicz]

Idina has a good voice, But seriously the person who they should’ve got to sing a tribute to Barbra Streisand was Lea Michele she sings it spot on in fact she could play Barbra Streisand in Barbra Streisand’s life story

[Recrivain]

Everybody comparing which version is better: Idina's or Lea's. But here I am, loving Santana/Naya's version more than anything

[natalia]

What a bunch of jerks in the comments....

[macecrawford]

I thought she did great. I read the comments. oh my. Barbras face lite up when she said I am your biggest fan. I enjoyed it.

[fuzzyfelina]

Barbas there like “y’all if you’d have asked I’d have sang it myself”

[marga_mld]

Kudos to Idina, she sang it beautifully with the emotions of the song AND in front of Ms Streisand herself, that must have been nerve-wracking as hell

[danickiminajjjj]

It truly is insane how accurate Glee was casting her and Lea as mother and daughter. They literally look the same, have the same voice, same power, same stage presence, same facial expressions, and same talent. Its seriously so crazy looking back.

[chartera]

Lea Michelle's is forever gonna be the best version of "Don't Rain on my Parade"

[fionnaadeline]

0:55 absolutely LOVED her "rain on myyy parade" 😍😍😍

[sophiebr]

Wow.. she really look like a "old" version of Rachel Berry 😂
