Singer Kristin Chenoweth: Oscars Prep is Nerve-wracking

Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth is going to be singing "That's How You Know" from the movie Enchanted. She told CNN it is "nerve-racking" to prepare on the big Oscar stage.
Joining them was Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth and singer Marlon Saunders, who are set to perform "That's How You Know" from the movie "Enchanted."

Chenoweth, a Tony Award winner and film and TV star, said it's "nerve-racking" to prepare for the Oscar stage.

"It's the biggest audience I've ever had," the 4-foot, 11-inch performer with the outsized voice told The Associated Press. "I've played many of the famous concert halls in the world but this is something altogether different. I'm just going to try to perform the song and make it about the music and not get too nervous."

Her nerves didn't show during the rehearsal. The diminutive star even warmed up with an operatic aria that drew applause from the orchestra's brass section, which filled half the room. The other half held the strings section and 16 backup singers. Conti wielded his baton from the center as Chenoweth and Saunders donned headphones inside individual glass booths.
"That's How You Know" is one of three songs nominated from the Enchanted film. More on the Oscar-nominated songs can be found here.
