When I'm in perfect help I don't really like being under lights for a long time, and I've not been cast with any mains yet! I've always been background and I always come off stage sweating. Being Elphaba sounds like a huge amount of work and to do it ill makes me admire her.

    The riff was not written to show off the range of the voice. Its about emotion. To me that was portrayed beautifully by the original Idina Menzel and my personal favourite Jacqueline Hughes who i was very fortunate to see at the Sunderland Empire. She completely blew me away.

      I though Eden Espinosa did good at both! She sung a real nice riff and brought a lot of power but her choreography and hand gestures brought a lot of emotion back into the subject of why she is screaming his name in the first place. But yes, completely agree but if an actress feels she can do both than let it roll! :)

  • @hannahapostolico9039
    @hannahapostolico9039 6 лет назад +3382

    I personally feel like this moment in the song is supposed to symbolize a cry or scream for his name and isn’t the time for one to show off how high she can belt. It almost distracts from the emotion of the song, so that’s why I personally like the ones who stuck to the original notes, such as Idina (who will always be number 1 to me), but all these women are super talented, there’s no denying that!

    • @nasirroper4011
      @nasirroper4011 6 лет назад +163

      Hannah Apostolico I feel that the high belt actually increases the intensity of the “scream” for example Jessica Vosk’s version shows a lot of despair in her voice but others such as Rachel tucker give off a more angry and regretful moment in the song so to be honest the high belt is actually better for portraying a “yell” or “scream “ in this moment

    This is so difficult because ANYBODY who can hit the notes in No Good Deed without modifying is a GOD in my book. It's also one of those songs that as the singer, you want to elevate and bring out your best belts, but it can be easy to overdo it as well. I've always really liked Eden in this song. Something about the strength and almost roughness of her voice really pulls the piece together for me, but she leaves it emotional without overpowering the message with runs or satellite pitches. ❤👍

I forget the specific reason why, but something came up, I think she had already been cast, and so they had to go with the next option on the line, Idina.

    I like the ones who don't switch it up too much, like Kerry Ellis and Willemijn. When they start adding extra syllables and flourishes and changing the last note it sounds wrong to me. They all have great voices, but I feel like this part of the song shouldn't be changed.

  • @aejb4231
    @aejb4231 5 лет назад +206

    I don't like how the majority of them took this as a chance to show off their singing range, rather than a chance to show their acting ability. There's plenty of chances to belt high and play around as elphaba and riffing works in the happier/more empowering songs, but this is a dark emotional song. Generally in musicals, higher belted notes are for happier moments (like at the end of the wizard and I and defying gravity), which means it just throws off the mood of the song if you go high during a sad bit, and putting in runs just doubles the distraction from what could be a really emotional moment, and going low(er) during this bit and on the end note of the song highlights how distraught she is and works in contrast to the wizard and I and defying gravity belting moments cause it feels more stilted.
    Obviously they're all great singers and most of the time the change of the note is probably down to directors choice, but the most impressive versions for me are the one's who stick to the three original notes and nail it cause its fucking difficult.

  • @livlepore523
    @livlepore523 4 года назад +26

    My favorites are Idina's and Shoshana's because they aren't seeing how how high they can belt and adding riffs to sound good. They are showing the emotion in their voices like they are screaming in pain for the person that's important that they have just lost.

    Whils vocally they all sound amazing, I think it’s important that it is part of a musical and not a stand-alone song, those words have a meaning and by adding too many intricate tails and using it as a point to show off range cheapens it in my opinion, I think the original version sounds best from the perspective of the musical as it fits, however I would happily swap voices with anyone of these girls, amazing, everyone of them.

  • @heathengremlin992

    My favorites are the the ones with the distraught, gruffy sounds at the end of their "Fiyero" like Shoshanna, Ock, Emma, Eden, Danna, etc. It adds so much realism and I was just hit by a wave of emotions every time I heard that growl you get when you scream. It's so intense.
