You can tell based on her vocal/stylistic choices that, like most of us, she’s listened to Jessica Vosk’s version of this the most! 😅 This is a VERY close second to that for me and that’s saying a lot because Vosk is a perfect Elphie, but Rachel is AMAZING 🤩
No. She *could* have been Elphaba in the movie, sure, but Cynthia Erivo has the part and is equally as talented. Don't bring a talented woman down when raising another one up.
@@johnathantaylor5913 ... I'm not trying to put Cynthia down. I think she's very talented. I'm saying that I think Rachel is a better fit for the part. Just because I think someone else should be Elphaba doesn't mean that I dislike the other actress
@@Emma.Lou1 I mean, sure -- but now imagine you're working in whatever career you're working in right now (providing you have one) and random people comment: "Oh, Emma shouldn't be there, it should be Samantha instead -- Samantha is just a better fit than Emma." All I'm saying is you don't need to drag someone down to push someone up. "She'd make a great Elphaba" is just as valid without being disparaging to others.
I also can't really hit that lowest note in "the Wizard and I" - it's a crazy jump down, I can only even go one note lower in my register and it doesn't sound good at ALL rip I felt that pain
Did that really just happen? Have I actually understood? This weird quirk I've tried to suppress or hide Is a talent that could help me meet the Wizard If I make good So I'll make good When I meet the Wizard Once I prove my worth And then I meet the Wizard What I've waited for since, since birth And with all his Wizard wisdom By my looks, he won't be blinded Do you think the Wizard is dumb?

Insane how good she is!
I love how in those the talking parts she switch to the coming of age Disney princess. lol.
Paint her GREEN NOW
she made a grumpy face at the end. what the heck Rache .___. U SHINE FROM HEREEEE
Another marvelous video by the super talented Rachel! Thank you!
You are going to be and stand an amazing performer of all times
I NEED to see her as Elphaba
Bro literally 0 struggle.. what??? Teach meeee
She should be Elphaba in the movie. Though I appreciate that she's going to be Lucy Gray in the Hunger Games prequel.

I actually think she would‘ve been a great Glinda

@@johnathantaylor5913 I see where you're coming from, really. I promise I wasn't trying to bring her down or be rude, just stating my opinion, haha.

Did that really just happen?
Have I actually understood?
This weird quirk I've tried to suppress or hide
Is a talent that could help me meet the Wizard
If I make good
So I'll make good
When I meet the Wizard
Once I prove my worth
And then I meet the Wizard
What I've waited for since, since birth
And with all his Wizard wisdom
By my looks, he won't be blinded
Do you think the Wizard is dumb?
Or like Munchkins so small-minded?
No, he'll say to me I see who you truly are
A girl on whom I can rely
And that's how we'll begin
The Wizard and I
Once I'm with the Wizard
My whole life will change
'Cause once you're with the Wizard
No one thinks you're strange
No father is not proud of you
No sister acts ashamed
And all of Oz has to love you
When by the Wizard, you're acclaimed
And this gift or this curse
I have inside
Maybe at last, I'll know why
When we are hand in hand
The Wizard and I
And one day, he'll say to me "Elphaba
A girl who is so superior
Shouldn't a girl, who's so good inside
Have a matching exterior?
And since folks here to an absurd degree
Seem fixated on your verdigris
Would it be all right by you
If I de-greenify you?"
Of course that's not important to me
All right, why not", I'll reply
Oh, what a pair we'll be
The Wizard and I
Yes, what a pair we'll be
The Wizard and
Unlimited
My future is unlimited
And I've just had a vision almost like a prophecy
I know, it sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision's hazy
But I swear, someday there'll be
A celebration throughout OZ
That's all to do with me!
And I'll stand there with the Wizard
Feeling things I've never felt
And though I'd never show it
I'd be so happy, I could melt
And so it will be for the rest of my life
And I'll want nothing else 'til I die
Held in such high esteem
When people see me, they will scream
For half of Oz's favorite team
The Wizard and I
Yeah, she'd be a GREAT Elphaba. She can DEFINITELY sing it.
I see a future Elphie AND a future Galinda!!! :))
