I'd take Jackie Burns over Idina any day. I saw Jackie on Broadway twice and she had a voice that would send chills up your spine. I'd never seen/heard the Wicked soundtrack at the first show or even been remotely close to liking any Broadway show...when she hit the final note of Defying Gravity, I literally turned to my wife and was like "wow....just wow." Fastforward 6 months to my 30th Birthday and we sat front row and I was in heaven. She and Amanda Jane Cooper were absolutely incredible.
Just saying, she should totally be considered for the role of Elphaba in the film Wicked if they decide to NOT cast the original pairing because she would SLAY that role.
Emily Legault The concept was that Jackie has played two of Idina's iconic roles, and since she was taking on "Elsa" for the Party we decided to meld the three things. There's no "Rent" because that didn't have to do with either Jackie or Elsa. :-)
Omg for those who dont know "Hey it's me." It's Adele Dazeem's first line in the musical If/Then. A role originally played by Dazeem and was also played by Jackie later!
I nearly cried when I heard it brought in here. I love If/Then. And it is my favorite role of Idina's. And one of my favorite musicals ever. But it never gets attention like I believe it deserves.
I had the pleasure of seeing Jackie in the touring production of Wicked. When she sang Defying Gravity I was literally shaking because she did such an amazing job singing that song. The audience roared so loud when she hit that last note. Man her voice is absolutely breathtakingly incredible.
Gahhh people those two final notes were the best thing in the world and you drown them out completely with your unnecessary screeching! Wait till she's done, *then* yell your lungs out if you have to!
Jackie is my fav. I saw her in if/then twice and both times I was crying. I even have an autographed picture with her in my viola case after she saw me perform "Always Starting Over" :)
I don't even know what to say.. Seriously... HOLY SHIT! My jaw is on the floor! I saw her in Wicked a few months ago and thought she was amazing, but this takes her to a whole new level.. Like, it's so impossible to explain how fucking FANTASTIC this was!
I love her voice! She can definitely sing like Idina, but while Idina belts and seems to wear out her voice quickly, Jackie seems to be able to belt in a healthier way. Both are talented tho, so I can't say too much.
I did not expect to get emotional over this?? But I mean with all of the bad rep that Frozen has gotten since it's blown up this Frozen fan has gone undercover And hearing Let It Go (even snip-its of it) performed to this caliber?? I don't care how bad it is I need to see Frozen when it opens
Fun fact: So, the Liz & Beth that're mentioned near the end of this melody are references to If/Then. Her name is Elizabeth, and the primary way to tell which life you're looking at, is which name is used. She's known as Liz for half of the show, and Beth for the other half. And it's a genius storytelling device in my opinion.
People should appreciate Jackie for being amazing. She's so much more than idina's standby/replacement/look alike
Cierra They're both amazing artists and honestly Jackie's voice is stronger in a lot of ways. Powerhouses for sure!
Amanda Olsen Jackie's voice is incredible but it's her phrasing that makes me melt. She's just fantastic.
Agree. And the way she sings is so much healthier.
Rizwan Jagani agree 👍 definitely

"Help me make a blizzard" GENIUS 😂
That's the best "let the storm rage OOOOON" I've ever heard from anyone.
Louise Litchee SAME OMG IT WAS SO CLEAN AND SPOT ON
Louise Litchee same by far
Forgot about this comment. I still agree with myself 👍
"that could help me make...a blizzard!" I love this!😁
She even did the breathing--that "hiccup" during Defying Gravity 😂😂😂 completely spot on! I enjoyed this so much 😍
She is so perfect! She HAS to be elphie in the Wicked movie!
I was NOT prepared for that
Just saying, she should totally be considered for the role of Elphaba in the film Wicked if they decide to NOT cast the original pairing because she would SLAY that role.
Tyler Kohrs agreed
That's what I said to her at the stage door last night
I think they would be better casting teenagers/people in their early twenties, but yes she is amazing!
I definetly support this! She is stunning!I was surpried by this medley!
Cynthia erivo has been cast instead
It bugged me that there was nothing from RENT but THIS IS PERFECTION
Emily Legault The concept was that Jackie has played two of Idina's iconic roles, and since she was taking on "Elsa" for the Party we decided to meld the three things. There's no "Rent" because that didn't have to do with either Jackie or Elsa. :-)
Benjamin Rauhala loved that beaches reference btw
Ben, there is a good Rent reference she could've done. "Hey mister! She's my sister!"
Emily L yesss same
That Eb5 was so crystal clear like it was the actual recording. She literally belted her ass off looking so effortless doing it! Im so obsessed! 😍
Literally?
Wow she belted that last Let It Go note without any issues whatsoever. 😱
Ben, god bless you and Laura for these broadway princess parties. They always improve my life by like 1000%.
JustTrang TRUTH
She really sounds like Idina!!!
do you mean speaking or vocally bc speaking yes but vocally she's better than idina
wickedly4 speaking haha
she naaaaaails that "is gonna bring (me down)"-riff Idina does
Her voice good OMG. I knew this but hearing her sing all these songs at once with no difficulty at all is mindblowing.
jackie burns is a national treasure.
I didn't realise how much I wanted to see her back in Wicked.
I'm SORRY the "Always Starting Over" option up?! GET OUT OF HERE JACKIE. SLAY
Omg for those who dont know "Hey it's me." It's Adele Dazeem's first line in the musical If/Then. A role originally played by Dazeem and was also played by Jackie later!

Does she even need a microphone with that belt? XD She's soooo good!!!
Jackie Burns is the love child of Idina and Lea Michele.
Braden Mills that is exactly what I thought
YES THIS!
And then you remember Idina and Lea playing mother and daughter on Glee
@@PenaltyKillah scandalous !
it's more Lea Michelle is a love child of Idina Menzel and Jackie Burns
As someone who loved Wicked (fell in love with Indina that way) and Frozen, this makes me sooooooooo happy.
Gahhh people those two final notes were the best thing in the world and you drown them out completely with your unnecessary screeching! Wait till she's done, *then* yell your lungs out if you have to!
PREACH!!!!
...if Jackie Burns played Elsa and Laura Osnes played Anna, I might actually consider seeing Frozen on Broadway....
Agreed
ddd8170 what about Donna Vivino as Elsa?
Jackie is my fav. I saw her in if/then twice and both times I was crying. I even have an autographed picture with her in my viola case after she saw me perform "Always Starting Over" :)
Rizwan Jagani how did she see you perform???!!!! How awesome!!!!
Marika Marklin I recorded and produced a video of that song and I tweeted it to her. She saw it :D. It's on my channel
Also low key watching this over and over just to hear the "Hey it's me."
LOOK HOW FAR AWAY SHE IS FROM THE MIC AND SHE STILL COULD BRING THE HOUSE DOWN XBSBBSNA
She was My Elphaba on Broadway and my Liz/Beth for If/Then tour! I hope to see her in other productions down the road.
HOLY SHIT
I don't even know what to say.. Seriously... HOLY SHIT! My jaw is on the floor! I saw her in Wicked a few months ago and thought she was amazing, but this takes her to a whole new level.. Like, it's so impossible to explain how fucking FANTASTIC this was!
I love her voice! She can definitely sing like Idina, but while Idina belts and seems to wear out her voice quickly, Jackie seems to be able to belt in a healthier way. Both are talented tho, so I can't say too much.
Petition to have Jackie Burns play the next Elsa in Frozen Broadway please and thank you.
Ohmygod. What a powerhouse.
Why doesn't this have a million views!?! It's amazing
This is probably one of my most favorite things on the internet right now.
My niece, funnily enough named Adele, is just developing a love of Wicked and already loves Frozen. Something tells me she will love this!!
DAMN THIS GIRL CAN SING!!! And she even sounded a bit like Idina. Love love LOVE
Omg, Goosebumps all over the place, love it
This never gets old?!?!?! And that medley thoooooo! YES JACKIE!
FIERCE!
Dallas James Pritt agreed!
JACKIE LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE IDINA OMG
AND HER BELT
AND THIS MEDLEY IS SO AMAZING!!!
I love this part so much: 0:39 Elphaba
I just love her! She really should be the Elphaba in the upcoming Wicked movie. Congrats for the channel. Hugs from Brazil! \o/
Ewerton Silva agreed!!
There are rumors that Lea Michele will be elpahaba
Ben-you are a genius!!!
wow this is a fierce belting beach :P
I saw her at the last performance of the If/Then tour in August and she is so lovely as a performer and human being!
Ah. This is so good. I really want to watch one Broadway Princess Party
what a voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jackie Burns is seriously the best!!
Jackie is amazing! She's truly talented and has such a pure voice. Wish I could sing like her someday
QUEEN
She is a LEGEND
I would LOVE a studio version of this mashup!
She's so freaking talented. This was an amazing medley!!
And I find myself going back to this post and wonder why Jackie isn't Elsa. So, so good!!
64k views and most of them are me. Just amazing.
QUEEN!
This is amazing!!! WOW!!!! and Funny too! Love Love LOVE it!!
O. My. Goodness. She's perfect!
Ah mazing!!!!! Saw her as Elphaba!
I did not expect to get emotional over this??
But I mean with all of the bad rep that Frozen has gotten since it's blown up this Frozen fan has gone undercover
And hearing Let It Go (even snip-its of it) performed to this caliber??
I don't care how bad it is I need to see Frozen when it opens
Jackie Burns is the real queen of Broadway
The. Best.
She is just amazing!
Wow o wow that was so good
What an incredible arrangement! I was cheering right along with the crowd by the end!
Fun fact: So, the Liz & Beth that're mentioned near the end of this melody are references to If/Then. Her name is Elizabeth, and the primary way to tell which life you're looking at, is which name is used. She's known as Liz for half of the show, and Beth for the other half.

Slaaaaaay!! So awesome!
Kudos to including the information on songs and trivia. So many others don’t introduce nor illustrate the viewers.
OMG, Jackie Burns is so gorgeous.
Now the Adele Dazeem medley should include the Into the Unknown song from Frozen II
She's awesome. I keep coming back everyday to watch this video lol.
This is perfection!
i am in love with jackie burns
This is everything I need ever 😂the transitions are so perfect! I love Jackie sooOoooOOOooOo much
Jackie will always be my favorite Elphaba. She’s perfection.
Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
WOW.
Personally will end this song with "take me ot leave me" which also Adele Dazeem's signature number
Simply amazing.
I have goosebumps! :)
I loved this!
Amazing! After those high notes she's like nothings happened, id be lying on the flooe trying to catch my breath
She sounds so similar to Idina but less raspy. I love her performance! She's very talented.
But the slight rasp is what makes idinas voice so distinctive
This is the best thing I have ever watched 😂❤
A QUEEN
epic!
That was amazing!
I love this so much!
Oh my goodness! I didn't expect this level of slayage. Jackie is simply fantastic! Amazing! ♥
Damn girl.
Yesssss! Amazing!
Oh my god... this was too good :O AMAZING
I am blown away!!!
Jackie Burns and Alice Fearn and Rachel Tucker and Willemijn Verkaik are my top 4 Elphabas
Perfect, perfect, perfect, perfect
she's amazing! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Wow, she is amazing!!!
was waiting for take me or leave me the entire time 😂
This is my new favorite video. Jackie is amazing.
