OMAIGOSH I WAS PRACTICING THIS SONG FOR MY AUDITION AND MY BROTHER JUST CAME UP TO ME AND WHENEVER IT CAME TIME TO SING THE FIRST "POPULAR" HE SANG WITH IN A PAPYRUS VOICE I CAHT BREATH
probably too late, but let me tell you one of the most sacred rules of theatre: do not audition with this song it's so overused in auditions that it'll actually lower your chances of getting a role
I love how Mika song "Popular Song" is kind of a response to Glinda's. Glinda: Popular! You're gonna be popular. I'll teach you the proper ploys When you talk to boys, Little ways to flirt and flounce. Mika: Popular, I know about popular It's not about who you are or your fancy car You're only ever who you were
Hailey Jean Me too, which is why I said "in this song". She says "It's not about aptitude, it's the way you're viewed", which is one of the Slytherin factors of this song.
So I just noticed that I've passed 1m views on this video.. crazy to think I made this in my room at 12 years old hahaha. Still, greatly appreciated! Thank you! Also, I'm going to see Wicked again at the end of this month - finally it's touring!
HOLY SHIT YES! Also, I'm doing Popular for vocal coaching, but I also really wanted to do something from Be More Chill, and only after a very hard and long debate on whether to do popular or Loser Geek Whatever, I had to choose Popular because it is more challenging.
I've always loved this song so much >w< And as for the people arguing about which is better, this one or the Mika/Ariana Grande thing... Just stoppit! it doesn't matter! They're both great songs in my opinion! They're actually pretty different over all so I think it's silly to compare them! it's just the chorus and the lalala's! They're both amazing and I shall listen to both of them equally [well, depending on my mood XP sometimes I'm just in a more classic mood or vice versa lol]
The extremely popular girl in my school is the lead singer in the chorus. I am in chorus so I went to the Christmas party. And coincidental she sang this song with this video.
The lyrics : Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project! You really don't have to do that I know, that's what makes me so nice! Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I And let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than I? My tender heart tends to start to bleed And when someone needs a makeover I simply have to take over! I know, I know exactly what they need! And even in your case Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed! Follow my lead And yes indeed, you will be Popular! You're gonna be popular! I'll teach you the proper poise When you talk to boys Little ways to flirt and flounce Ooh! I'll show you what shoes to wear! How to fix your hair! Everything that really counts to be Popular! I'll help you be popular! You'll hang with the right cohorts You'll be good at sports Know the slang you've got to know So let's start 'Cause you've got an awfully long way to go! Don't be offended by my frank analysis Think of it as personality dialysis Now that I've chosen to become a Pal, a sister and advisor There's nobody wiser! Not when it comes to Popular! I know about popular And with an assist from me To be who you'll be Instead of dreary who you were Well, are There's nothing that can stop you From becoming popu-ler... lar La la, la la! We're gonna make you pop-you-lar! When I see depressing creatures With unprepossessing features I remind them on their own behalf To think of Celebrated heads of state Or specially great communicators! Did they have brains or knowledge? Don't make me laugh! They were popular! Please! It's all about popular It's not about aptitude It's the way you're viewed So it's very shrewd to be Very very popular Like me! Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. You're beautiful! I, I have to go You're welcome And though you protest Your disinterest I know clandestinely You're gonna grin and bear it! Your new found popularity! Aah! La la, la la! You'll be popular! Just not quite as popular as me!
I love all these songs from wicked. Especially this one and Gravity. I just wish I could actually see the musical itself. I wish my family weren’t so broke
Yesterday I showed this song to my little cousins (They're 7) and one of them looked at me and said, "But Gracie, she's wrong. You don't have to be popular. That's not important." And I just gave her a hug and said, "I love you so much."
yay! finally a video i can depend on and practice with. its correct and perfectly matched up with the words. Im singing musical songs for AGT 2010 and this is my audition song. yay! THANKS! (:
I havent even seen wicked but when i was maybe four years old at a ballet concert people were dancing to this song and i faintly remembered how much i loved it and that it said popular alot so now ive found it!!!!
Everyone saying MIKA and Ariana Grande copied this: I've heard Wicked actually asked them to make the song. I'm not 100% sure it's true but it probably is

you just made my day
Katrina Iceheart PRECIOUS
Katrina Iceheart OH MY GOD
probably too late, but let me tell you one of the most sacred rules of theatre:
do not audition with this song
it's so overused in auditions that it'll actually lower your chances of getting a role
how so?
I love how Mika song "Popular Song" is kind of a response to Glinda's.
Glinda: Popular!
You're gonna be popular.
I'll teach you the proper ploys
When you talk to boys,
Little ways to flirt and flounce.
Mika: Popular, I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
ooh now i want a mashup
Oooo
Galinda is the perfect Slytherin in this song XD
Really? I get more of a Gryffindor vibe from her, to each there own I suppose.
Hailey Jean Me too, which is why I said "in this song". She says "It's not about aptitude, it's the way you're viewed", which is one of the Slytherin factors of this song.
+Emi- chan Ah okay, I misunderstood, my apologies.
It's fine! I didn't mean to be rude, I just wanted to make my point >○
+Emi- chan Oh no worries you weren't rude in the slightest! 😊
I've been listening to this over and over. I'm doing this song for an audition
I did it on Musically!
+One Direction Is Awesome one direction is awesome 😉
me to!
+Directioner ForLife I love one direction
Danae Hemric same 💜
There’s a picture of Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish at the 2020 Grammys and this song is exactly that picture.
i lam be this comment
Yes
I can only imagine what it looks like.
Heather Chandler and Veronica?
No?
I'll leave.
i think of the plastics and cady
My OCs
They did this before the tunnel of worship
I can only think about Tsumugi Shirogane and Shuichi Saihara for dis scenario. Coincidence? I think not!
Cj Garcia A DANGANRONPA FAN- But why would Tsumugi actually do that
But just imagine....
Tony Stark singing this to Peter Parker
Why do I want this so much?
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Rip tony stark
Thanks for the animatic inspiration haha
This is gold
This is just one long non-ending song of telling some lady she's ugly LMAO
I've been wondering where I've heard the "Popular" tune and I just found out Ariana Grande made a song like this. lol
It's actually by MIKA but it does feature ari
Victoria Pinzon
It was a cover she didn’t make it
I do videosTM what song is it? Or is it literally a cover of this song?
Priya T I think it's like a mash up of being original and a cover? It's called Popular Song.
ruclips.net/video/nmcdLOjGVzw/видео.html
This is an adorable song! It's so cute, just like Kristin Chenoweth. The lyricist and composer were brilliant!
Yep-
Her voice is so cute I'm dying
yes ikr
So I just noticed that I've passed 1m views on this video.. crazy to think I made this in my room at 12 years old hahaha. Still, greatly appreciated! Thank you! Also, I'm going to see Wicked again at the end of this month - finally it's touring!
Omg we have the same names, Fiona!!!
Thank you for posting!
Fiona M *peralasis
Fiona Myself
Fiona M HAPPY DRINKING YEAR
I just keep picturing Roman and Virgil....
Lynn The June Bug 😂
Omg
Oh my goooooood i cant unsee it what have u done
LOLOL YES
Lynn The June Bug this and what is this feeling is Roman and Virgil
Then: Being green is not popular
Then Gamora is a thing... and now being Green is all the rage lol!
To be fair Gamora is a literal alien. No one in space cares and Earth has seen it all by the time she gets anywhere near it. Elphaba, not so much.
My voice fits this song because it's so high pitched lol. I wanna do a cover of this now xD
XxCreative PuppyxX dooo it! Id watch it :D
Dooo itttttt
@@duckysguidetoshipping8930 I do not have the means to lol. No mic, nothing.
@@ericaploof998 I just do it with my I phone honestly if you have head phones the white ones if you have an I phone
I'm gonna to sing this song for my audition, wish me luck!
have you done it yet?
+Girly Phandom Member yes I have and it went well! :)
Breanna Hancock congrats!
+Girly Phandom Member Thank you! :D
Breanna Hancock me too 💚💚💚💚
1:30 I dunno why, but I love her voice when she sings this part
this song is so shallow... but I am obsessed with it!
This is literally the squip and jermmy I can't be the only person to see the similarities
I can't be the ONLY one
Gazelle Tanglao I CANNOT BREATH RIGHT NOW
Gazelle Tanglao SAME
HOLY SHIT YES!
Also, I'm doing Popular for vocal coaching, but I also really wanted to do something from Be More Chill, and only after a very hard and long debate on whether to do popular or Loser Geek Whatever, I had to choose Popular because it is more challenging.
Another example is Heather Chandler and Veronica Sawer :/
KGJFKDGJKDHGD Y E S
Kristen Chenoweth will always be Glinda and Idina Menzel will always be Elphaba. No one can replace such legends!
I just saw wicked today and wow just wow
I think Glinda's voice changes when she sings...
Is it popular-ler?
チェソドュマ no it's a joke😂
I think it's called placement.
yeah
Not really? It’s still recognizably the same person.
There was a post on tumblr like forever ago that had Glinda's voice as their headcanon feferi and now I can't get it out of my head.
That makes sense. A lot of sense. HEADCANON FEF!
She has such an amazing voice!
2:33 Glinda sounds like Venelope from Wreck It Ralph!
lord help me it's annoying but i'm obsessed
Wolfgirl22755 I know right?
I love this song its my favorite I went to see wicked live once ! It was AMAZING!
I've always loved this song so much >w<
And as for the people arguing about which is better, this one or the Mika/Ariana Grande thing... Just stoppit! it doesn't matter! They're both great songs in my opinion! They're actually pretty different over all so I think it's silly to compare them! it's just the chorus and the lalala's! They're both amazing and I shall listen to both of them equally [well, depending on my mood XP sometimes I'm just in a more classic mood or vice versa lol]
Just... Kristin is my acting idol. I saw her in concert not too long ago and she waved to me, it was epic!
The extremely popular girl in my school is the lead singer in the chorus. I am in chorus so I went to the Christmas party. And coincidental she sang this song with this video.
Who's watching this in 2019! If you look at it in 2019 put yes
ok
Yes
Yes
Yes
yes
yes
yes
Lyrics
Jk
Avery Harris 😂😂😂😂 yeah i hate it when people put lyrics on lyric videos 😂😂
Omg😂😂😂
Mbruh, why else am I watching this video 😂
Wow, just what I was looking for.
The lyrics : Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project!
You really don't have to do that
I know, that's what makes me so nice!
Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I
And let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than I?
My tender heart tends to start to bleed
And when someone needs a makeover
I simply have to take over!
I know, I know exactly what they need!
And even in your case
Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face
Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed!
Follow my lead
And yes indeed, you will be
Popular!
You're gonna be popular!
I'll teach you the proper poise
When you talk to boys
Little ways to flirt and flounce
Ooh!
I'll show you what shoes to wear!
How to fix your hair!
Everything that really counts to be
Popular!
I'll help you be popular!
You'll hang with the right cohorts
You'll be good at sports
Know the slang you've got to know
So let's start
'Cause you've got an awfully long way to go!
Don't be offended by my frank analysis
Think of it as personality dialysis
Now that I've chosen to become a
Pal, a sister and advisor
There's nobody wiser!
Not when it comes to
Popular!
I know about popular
And with an assist from me
To be who you'll be
Instead of dreary who you were
Well, are
There's nothing that can stop you
From becoming popu-ler... lar
La la, la la!
We're gonna make you pop-you-lar!
When I see depressing creatures
With unprepossessing features
I remind them on their own behalf
To think of
Celebrated heads of state
Or specially great communicators!
Did they have brains or knowledge?
Don't make me laugh!
They were popular!
Please!
It's all about popular
It's not about aptitude
It's the way you're viewed
So it's very shrewd to be
Very very popular
Like me!
Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. You're beautiful!
I, I have to go
You're welcome
And though you protest
Your disinterest
I know clandestinely
You're gonna grin and bear it!
Your new found popularity!
Aah!
La la, la la!
You'll be popular!
Just not quite as popular as me!
I love all these songs from wicked. Especially this one and Gravity. I just wish I could actually see the musical itself. I wish my family weren’t so broke
This is awesome! I have a school audition coming up, and this totally shows my personality, so thanks!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Yesterday I showed this song to my little cousins (They're 7) and one of them looked at me and said, "But Gracie, she's wrong. You don't have to be popular. That's not important."
And I just gave her a hug and said, "I love you so much."
I love this musical!!! Kristin is my favorite Broadway star!!! Idina is cool too.
your gonna be poplerel
I now have this song stuck in my head, tyvm.
It is definitely Ploys, not poise. I have been singing this song for years, i have the piano book, with full lyrics for the entire musical.
You are right Aimee McKim
Good video

justine schmitt Haha, homestuck? ^U^
im singing this for the talent show at my school and i totally fit this song because im in love with myself just like her I LOVE YOU WICKED
How’s it go!!!!?!???
I don’t get why people dislike this video 🤣🤣🤣I love this song so much
Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I
And let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than I?
Totally not spoilt at all
This one is better than Arianna Grande.
I love both versions😍
Well yeah it's the original
I ran into a door listening to this ow
I like Ariana's better, it has a much catchier tune :)
This is the original version.
Simultaneously needing the lyrics because I want to go through my whole Wicked phase throughout the duration of one song
Yesss
"I know, thats why im so nice. :) " Haha!! I love that part.
yasss Ive watched wicked. Its amzing
Waffle55 - Draws and Animates really? I really wanna watch it cuz it sounds super good

I am singing this for my musical theater class soon, so thanks for the lyrics!
I'm using this for my audition to get into this performing arts school rip me

I love both versions😍
