I’m literally afraid To think how many hours of my short life I’ve spent listening to people belting this last phrase
the answer is: not enough
MOOD
Its okay to be obsessed
YOU’VE JUST DESCRIBED ME
I didn’t come here to be attacked like this my dude 😅😂🤣
14:11 She’s Danna Paola from the Wicked production in México, she is the youngest Elphaba ,18 years old at that time! pretty impressive for her age
She was also a main-ish character of Élite, a Spanish drama show! I love her so muchhhh
@@laurenhlammers omg yeah i love her
Danna Paola is a queen and I love her as Lu also I did not know she could sing like that
Omg I was so excited to see her
I thought she was italian
They did Idina SO DIRTY in this video.
Also, Caleb Hyles is a PHENOMENAL singer. I'd definitely suggest listening to more covers from him, old and new!
Lol she always sounds like that these days lol
Yes Caleb hyles is amazing beyond belief
Nah...that's called the effects of years of bad technique. That's how she sounds now.
Karina Carr agreed
@CarlyCChapman I agree. I know people criticize her technique, but I’ve heard her sing much better than that even recently. It almost seemed like they were trying to make her look bad compared to the others (I can’t definitively say that was their intent, I was just surprised that was the clip they chose compared to the clips of everyone else)
Willemijn will be my all time fav. As a dutch girl, I`m a huge fan of her. She played that role in 4 languages, Dutch, German, American-English and English-English. Just love her!
Nobody cares. Stick a fork in 2010 already
american english is the same as english-english except the free cared more about printing prices way back when
@@LegitamateGamingVideos I think emlyn meant that Willemijn did the show both on Broadway and on West End. There are some musicals that are both performed in the US and in the UK where some words and sometimes even sentences are changed to make it make more sense to their respective public. Also the accents come into play
Bloody oath!
She was who I saw live in London in 2013, and she was INCREDIBLE.
Can we all just appreciate when Hannah starts singing defying gravity!! It’s so effortless :)
A cover would be cool
Miss Hannah really hit a perfect G#5 while showing us an example of how Defying Gravity is a lot easier for some Elphaba’s. I’m kinda in love ngl
Well not really, she was a bit flat...
@@fcturner she wasn’t trying 😂
Amazing 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️
Danna Paola was Elphaba on the mexican production of Wicked and she was only 18 when she played her and she’s also ranked as the best third Elphaba of all time! Mexican Icon✨
"ranked" lmao

@@AJPerez-hz8ru No decían un error en inglés. El comentarista original dijo que Danna Paola estaba "clasificada como la mejor tercera Elphaba de todos los tiempos", lo cual es ridículo. 😂
@@AJPerez-hz8ru Bro, que ardido te pusiste tu solo/a 😂😂😂😂😂 Bajale a la inseguridad y rencor
Danna Paola is my queen
Willemijn Verkaik is legit my favorite Elphaba of all time. She's so good!!
its still Willemijn for me. Her performances as Elphaba is almost perfect. if not, it IS perfect. Especially the actual musical act on stage cause that one sounds so much better than the video they included here. Her voice just suits the character for some reason. The korean version of the musical is good too.
She looks best in green.
She epitomises the character. She is the character. Her voice is perfect 👌🏼
Willemijn 💚 The best Elphaba for me, the one who played the role in 4 countries 3 languages! And I saw her on London, she was phenomenal! But love all the Elphie 💚
Yeah, same. All Elphies are great, but my personal favorite is Willemijn
she also dubbed elsa and a few barbie roles.
Fun fact, she is gonna play Jenna in the dutch version of Waitress!
Willemijn's last Defying Gravity is the best EVER.
@@deslvdw2019 Waitress is canceled due to covid :(
Caleb has insane range, does covers in the same vein as Annapantsu so would be great if you could react to him! That's quite an old cover too and I think he's improved quite a lot
YESSS
I would love a reaction to his defying gravity cover with Rebecca Parham
and as of a number of months ago, is taking vocal lessons and improving even more
Agreed!! Guys boost this comment so that she'll react to him!
@@taylorpoirier1765 or a reaction to Anna’s cover of defiying gravity
I haven't gotten into wicked yet but from what I know I am convinced that when they were writing Elphaba they were just like 'ok let' s write a lot of amazing parts that will sound really awesome' and never thought about the execution and vocal health of their singers.
i’ve noticed that as a general trend in musical theatre over time, with pretty much every new musical as of late putting in cool and impressive vocal stuff that really isn’t sustainable long term.
Yeah I remember seeing a clip when Idina Menzel was first rehearsing the song and struggling to even find places to take a breath in it
are we not gonna talk about how effortlessly she pointed the notes out with her own voice and so casually too
I love the fact Hannah just starts screaming about midway through- XD
Just "She could keep that more of an A almost- AHHHHHH-"
This is why i don't like turning her up XD (I really do love Hannah tho, she's lovely)
Yeah and I - as a vocal coach - disagree to the should ...closed or open vowel is just a question of taste...breath support wise the closed vowel is much easier and less hard to sustain (especially on a tired or sick day). It is less resonant BUT it is also quieter so a valid choice if you decide to not go 10 on the volume meter in the high belt area. She did open it up in a lot of performances...Willemijn that is...she can do it all. Also a tighter sound does not mean that it is automatically uncomfortable or "squeezed" in an unhealthy way...there are distinctions.
lea micheal and chris colfer omggg i love it
I think they chose that version of Idina because, in a lot of instances, that’s how her voice sounds now. People say it’s because she did the role for so long but Jackie Burns has been in the same role for significantly longer than Idina and has maintained a healthy sounding voice. That video of Idina shows what it sounds like when she sings it now!
Exactly
Yep. Years of bad technique has led to this.
I've seen bootlegs of both Idina and Jackie doing What/If, and Jackie sounds so much better. It was after both had played Elphaba, so the role can't be blamed. It's the technique.
Idina has AWFUL technique
I love Idina, but there are far too many videos of her singing so poorly. On this song and the Frozen songs. Like shes “throat singing” and not singing from the diaphragm so its screwing with her throat.
Have you heared willemijn. She did it for 10 years
I just love Mitch Grassi hitting all that while goofing around for the Superfruit Chan on Scott’s birthday
lol Mitch Grassi is just such a queen (and Scott in his wig)
It threw me off to see them in this video lmao
I looked in the comments because I really wanted him in this video haha
I love his version! He is such a Diva!
Mitch does my favorite version of this for sure his voice is beautiful would love to hear him record it
That was hilarious and yet I still got Mitch-slapped by that note!
I really love Willemijn Verkaik! She is so amazing. When she sngs defying grafity live it sounds even better with all the adlips. I wish I could sing like her!!
Willemijn Verkaik is definitely the best, she’s done much better than that recording. Watch her last performance, no one can beat it! Also, English is her third language after Dutch then German and she has sung in an American and British accent!
I am legit hardcore OBSESSED with Willemijn and I'm not sorry.
@@simplystreeptacular Me too!!!
@@simplystreeptacular Me neither. She's absolute class.
@@simplystreeptacular ME TOO OMFG
@@simplystreeptacular She's the best one I've seen live for sure!
My throat gets tight literally just listening to these high belts.
I love Willemijin, probably my favourite Elphaba. Also Pia Douwes one of my favourite singers When she plays Mrs Danvers in Rebecca is awesome
Willemijn Verkaik is dutch, and idk in dutch most oohhs are really just an o and not an ah or uh. she is, however, a singer first and actor second instead of some of the elphabas who are actors first and singers second. I saw her live (in the Netherlands so not the exact same sound) and she was amazing, there was absolutely no tension to be heard.
Please react to Christopher Jackson in One Last Time from Hamilton 🥺
Yess
She did it !!!😄😄
@@Slightly_Bedraggled Ikr! I loved it TvT
Shoshanna Bean is the iconic Elphie! Her rasp is inherent! Gorgeous! one of my fav elphabas!
So many of my favourites in here. Shoshana, Eden and Willemijn just hit different for me. Each voice adds so much to this song.
Please react more to Shoshana, she is incredible.
YES YES WILLEMIJN IS SO UNDERRATED
ALSO EDEN AND SHO TOO BUT MAN PEOPLE SLEEP ON WILLEMIJN SO MUCH
@@sorellehattori2466 Youre so right! Shes incredible. They all are but I mean the fact she can sing wicked in at least 3 different languages and sound amazing in every one is just crazy.
@@JSandwich13 and for 10 years
@@delibessylvia3 AND IN 2 DIFFERENT ACCENTS IN ENGLISH (AMERICAN AND BRITISH)
My friend and I won tickets to the Wicked lottery on Broadway when we went to New York a few years ago. It was INCREDIBLE!
do you happen to know who your Elphaba was? did you keep the playbill?
@@TheWiseGrif i did keep my playbill. We ended up going to the stage door and had a few of the cast members sign them for us. I’m pretty sure Jessica Vosk was my Elphaba.
@@paigehardin5618 a fantastic Elphaba...i'm actually jealous, because i saw one of the tours, and Jessica took over as Elphaba the week after my city (although the Elphie i saw, Emily Koch, was fabulous as well)
Rachel Tucker is my all time favourite Elphaba! I saw her on the West End as Elphie and she’s was magical 🤩🤩🤩
Love me some German/Dutch representation. Pia Douwes and Willemijn Verkaik are Queens
Pia really said agility in that performance! And Willemijn is always my #1!
two things
1) I'd love to see you do this for no good deed - it's my favourite song from wicked and there are some brilliant performances (danna paola especially)
2) please say you'll do a cover of defying gravity. please. I would give both legs and an arm for you to do a full cover of it
Yessss, Danna is just speechless in no good deed!
"No Good Deed" is also my favorite song from this musical. Yay for finding my squad! 🙌 😊 So glad I'm not alone in this since it seems to get less attention than "Defying Gravity" and "The Wizard and I."
@@vocalnerd my favorite are Loathing and For Good. So, basically the entire trajectory of their friendship.
Willemijn Verkaik!!!
love how the german one (pia? the thrid one!) acutally sang "fängt mich ein" for the "bring me down" bit, which translates to "catch me", but the "mich ein" sounds like "me down" which i bet you she was going for because i am still hurting from those terrible german lyrics, they did not only do Idina dirty! 😂
BTW, Danna Paola is the one who sang Rapunzel's songs from Tangled in the Latinamerican version
Hannah, sweetie, don't be shy and give us a cover of Defying Gravity
Lol, as a German I was so surprised to hear a German performance - didn‘t even know those existed xD
Right? Me neither😂😂 i'm just chillin hete in my bed at 3 AM and suddenly this comes on and it took me a hot second that this is actually my language 😂😂 I was like " wait i- this is - THIS IS GERMAN?!""😂😂
@@denisepointinger7085 I only knew it existed because when you look for the wicked album on spotify the german one pops up for me first. But I dont think Pia Douwes was Elohaba on the Album. I think it was Willemin (dont know how to write her name)
I think this performance was in Tecklenburg and before wicked startet in Germany.
Willemijn is singing the German Cast album
But she’s Dutch lol. There’s two German singing Elphabas and they’re both Dutch which is great lmao
@@brodypenn No one denied that. It's still a german performance cause she sang im german.
Funny story:
So I went to see Wicked as one of my first ever musicals, and when it got to this song the singer voice cracked on that one note, wrecked it. And my sibling gasps, and shouts "OH MY GOD SHE BUTCHERED IT!"
Said sibling is also the loudest in the family and we were in the second row. I feel so bad for that singer.
Oh honey I’m sure she got paid enough lol
@@alemobra5747 It's not all about the money you know... if you're really passionate about something, it can suck when you know you've messed up and- depending on what kind of person you are of course- you can really beat yourself up about this sort of stuff. I'm sure you didn't mean it in a bad way... it's just that it can be hurtful when people assume you only do what you love for the money and fame. I mean, personally, I sing as well and have never cared about that sort of stuff. I sing because I love to do it, and I want to bring joy to other people while doing it... fame's just a perk and money would be helpful, but it's not why I sing. Sorry for the rant lol. Just wanted to show a possible other side to the story :).
@@le6229 you are 100% right, I didnt mean it that way, and I apologise for how it came across.
@@alemobra5747 it's all good 👍. I get that some things can come across differently to different people... Thx for understanding what I was saying 😊
That’s so rude… who was the singer?
Fun fact: Danna Paola was the youngest. She was only 18.
There is a video of Willemijn Verkaik singing the German version of No Good Deed in the rehearsal space. It's amazing.
Here it is! ruclips.net/video/92_iEb6oXHc/видео.html
@@roisinnigcrainn7722 That's the one! So fantastic!
You are one of the few voice teachers that do these "react" videos with an actual purpose. You are not biased and actually offer constructive criticism, along with a discussion of technique. Many others do not even have a teaching or performance background. So, thank you! I am a classical voice/piano/trumpet teacher, but many of my students love musical theatre. We are all subscribing to your channel! 👏👏👏☺☺
YESSS I WAS RLY HOPING CHRIS COLFER AND LEA MICHELE WOULD BE IN HERE AND THEY WERE 😩😩
Came to comments just to see if they were 😁
I believe it was shoshana's last show, so she was probably very emotional that day. even so she did great as always
My favorite actors for Elphaba are Wilemijn Verkaik and Roberta Valentini. Saw both in Germany and they are so good. Also it's so cool to see Pia Douwes. She is a great person. We met her at the stage door after the musical Rebecca, which was soooo good. Love them! 😁🇩🇪
For Eden Espinosa, some my favourites from her is everything in Tangled the series, granted it isn't live, but she's absolute gold in that show.
omg YESSS i was just about to comment this! 💖
YES!!!!
I love it when you stop to talk about it! Technical analysis is what I'm here for.
That's an old clip of lea at carnegie hall when she was pregnant. She did more recent performances of this like 2-3 yrs ago and it was waaay better. There was one which was outdoor somewhere in UK and it was raining. Her performance there was amazing.
I'd love to see you react to Hannah Corneau singing "No Good Deed" it's one of the best performances I've ever seen; her acting is INCREDIBLE
YES YES YES
The earbud microphone trying to keep with Hannah's singing tho
When I heard Regine's clip my jaw DROPPED. I haven't heard that section of the song sung that well and with that balanced of a belt literally ever in my life. She NAILED that 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
💯💯💯
listening to pia again with the old german translations of the song that never made it to the show brings back memories, i kinda like that version xD
Hannah your voice is so good wthhhhhh!!! You’re literally the best vocal coach that can actually sing with a good tone and healthy like omgggggggg
Rachel Tucker is an underrated talent imo. She's soooo good! Could you maybe react to more of her? Her singing Defying Gravity at West End Live 2011 is a really good one!
I fell in love with Alice Fearn's voice when I saw her live last year
Yes I looove her!
React to more Julie and the phantom songs.
Some songs from that show that you haven’t reacted to yet are

5.)Flying solo
6.)perfect harmony(such a cute song)
7.)stand tall

Yessss other side of Hollywood
She's seen all of these
ruclips.net/p/PLfN3H_JraVQPfjf5IVMNbW8uUVB5m6ra5
Here is the playlist for the julie and the phantom reactions
AND IF IM FLYING SOLO-
sorry.
Hey! shoshana just naturally has the rasp sound, also she’s a soprano so it’s easy for her to hit those notes, she can also do whistle tone you should do a reaction video to her best vocals!
Every single one of them is a soprano
@@hollisfortune8791 no actually, they are mezzo-sopranos
i lowkey think willemijn is one of the best elphabas, especially bc she played her in three different languages!!!??? queen
Its almost 1am and I'm listening to our lovely voice coach SCREAMING into my ears.
What a wonderful night uwu
Mitch Grassi aye! I love pentatonix and superfruit
PLEASE DO THE “NO GOOD DEED FYIERO RIFF COMPARISON!!!”
Willemijn, my Dutch queen. Forever getting goosebumps hearing her sing 💛
Did not expect to see Pia Douwes here. She'll always be the best Elisabeth and a big part of why I started to truly appreciate musicals.
the number of times i've watched this compilation (and others) just to obsess over the different riffs...i can't get enough
I love you!
did you know the chris colfer one was with lea michele as well? they are from glee if you haven’t seen in i recommend so much
I was waiting for Lea!
@Ariel Henderson haha
She literally just uploaded a Glee reaction video today!
Definitely need to do a best glee songs compilation! Lea Michelle is an amazing singer! Idina Menzel is also on there for a couple of seasons, but there are so many underrated singers from glee!!!
I’ve seen this musical 5 times and it has NEVER not given me chills. Like I cry when I hear this song because everything about it is just so good. The solo, the chorus, Glinda, everything is just UGH 😭
My husband is not into musicals. When we went to New York I forced him to come along and watch Wicked- I promissed I'd pay for all the cocktails he needed. He had one cocktail and was absolutely smitten with the musical and Lindsay Mendez' performance. It's that good.
We need more Shoshana here.... Just sayin...
Yes we do!!
Absolutely! She’s a freaking *QUEEN!*
I know i totally agree
Love her😭💕
@@honey4501 Bad idea reference????
You should definitely react to more videos of Willemijn singing. She's awesome!
I was so surprised to see Pia Douwes in this one! Growing up she was me and my sister's favourite musical actress and she's honestly so talented!
I saw Jessica Vosk on broadway a few years ago and she did one of the most amazing renditions of Defying Gravity I have ever seen!
Please Check this out.. "NEVER ENOUGH(The Greatest Showman)" by a Filipino girl group 4TH IMPACT Tnx, Happy reacting :)
I'll put the link here : ruclips.net/video/8Bu-CKEjJk0/видео.html
Me- Casually watching this
Also me- CHRIS COLFER AHSHOSJWOSNDOWJDKWLNS
I’ve seen wicked 4 times on Broadway and I’d see it again. It’s an amazing show! The actors and actresses are so impressive and the story telling and music is amazing.
I love your reactions! And just your content in general! I am definitely not a singer, but I am an artist and a musician and watching your videos has given me such an appreciation and understanding for something that I never really understood! Thanks for feeding my creativity! I can appreciate so much more now!
Yay I’m so excited!
I’m actually surprised that Beau Dermott wasn’t in this video. I know she was a kid, but hers is like the most-watched performance of the song on RUclips.
You have no idea how long I have been scrolling for a comment mentioning her she was so good in that performance
Absolutely, Beau owns this song now, no contest
Mitch. Even if he does look like an avocado.
I am so happy that there ist finally one compliation with Willemijn Verkaik. She sung the German (original one) and Dutch Elphaba (for many years) and also in Britain and Amerika (for a short period of time) and she did all three languages so well! I'm a huge Fan of her, she is just amazing.
I just saw you react to Pentatonix " Mad World".
Scott and Mitch have a channel called Superfruit. They did defying gravity.
You should check it out.😊
I think Stephanie J. Block did it amazing every time I saw her, live and recorded. She is fantastic.
ive seen pia as didi allen in 2022 in tilburg and willemijn as elphaba somewhere between 2011-2013 in scheveningen and elsa as a young kid ( she voices her in dutch both singing and speach and in german singing) now i listen to frozen in english and willemijn played elphaba over 2000 times in 3 langueses and 4 countrys and 5 productions, now she is going to play elsa in frozen in germany
You are so knowledgeable and kind to each performer ❤️ Loved listening to your comments!
My favorite Elphaba either has to be Eden Espinosa (That one clip of her wasn't great. She can do WAY better) or Stephanie j. Block. Willemijn Verkaik and Danna Paola are pretty stellar, too, though! Danna just sings is so flawlessly.
OMFG CALEB HYLES IS LITERALLY SO FRIGGIN INCREDIB,E U SHOULD DEFINITELY REACT TO A BUNCH OF HIS VIDEOS I WOULD WATCH U DO A WHOLE VID BASED ON HIM
This was great! I know doing another Wicked compilation might not be the direction you are going in, but the Fiyero riff compilation is EVERYTHING.
I love your approach to this.
OMG DO "WHO SANG SO MUCH BETTER THE BEST" NEXT PLSS
Yes please!
Stephanie J Block’s broadway Defying Gravity is my favorite and she’s also my favorite Elphaba.
I know there are too many actresses who have played Elphaba to include all of them, but she was the one who worked with Schwartz on the workshop, so I wish she’d been included here-
Every time idina hits that ending note I cringe and get chills and I love it so much. Reminds me of my theater days when my voice could hit that note. Ughhhhh shes such a goddess
I was super lucky to see Jacqueline Hughes play Elphaba on the UK tour and when I say she was flawless, I mean utterly flawless. Every note was unreal and she hit a G#5 in the No Good Deed fiyero riff and my soul left my body
Pls react to Morissette Amon rendition of DEFYING GRAVITY at stages session live💞
Yes, she's on the top of them all.
OMG Pia Douwes!! I did not expect to see her. She is so amazing.
i got chills right @ 18:00 because of the “i hope your happy” oh my goshh it was so in tuneeeeeee
Love all of their voices thank you for all the tips Hannah!!😊
I would love to see Hannah react to some other Willemijn Verkaik performances
i know you’ve reacted to jeremy jordan before, but his cover of “i told you now” by sam smith is INSANE
I literally fell apart when I saw that performance 🤯🤯
Oh i am always down to react to him!!
I grew up playing sports my whole life, in school I was more of a “jock” but I remember in like 2006 I went to see Wicked on Broadway and the next day I signed up for theatre and fell in love with it. I can’t sing anywhere near well enough to be at this point but I’m not terrible though it definitely made high school strange for me rolling with the football, soccer, and basketball team as well as chilling with the theatre kids. To this day Wicked will always have a special place in my heart
I love the vid you’re reacting too ! I hope you do more !!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
I personally don’t sing but I love hearing your opinion on technique and performances
Annapantsu does a good cover of this song, and her “no good deed” has one of the best “fiyero”s I have ever heard! Trust me! Go watch it!
Loved this! Can you react to the singing in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (2015 Paper Mill Playhouse Production)? They killed it!
I was in the choir of the La Jolla run!!! I want her to review the videos of the show so bad!!
I absolutely love Danna Paola and everything she does!!!
Mitch will always be my favorite on this song. It's so effortless.
