i'd love to hear her singing this song again now that her voice has matured as it seems on her recent snl's performances (specially we cant be friends)
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
I still would have liked to see her as elphaba after this... I'm worried her Glinda will be too similar to Kristen's... but I'm hoping that's just how the trailer shows it
Two things are certain after watching this and seeing Wicked Part 1. 1. Ariana’s voice has improved so much since doing vocal training for the movie, which is saying something. 2. Her voice was made for Glinda’s part. She sounds great singing this, but there’s something about her voice that just fits Glinda better.
I so agree!!! She’s always been amazingly vocally talented so it’s crazy that she’s improved even more but I see she was singing this song with her ‘pop’ voice so that’s why she sounds so much better in the movie current day.
Did you watch her in hairspray?! I loved her in wicked!!! But man her playing penny was rough. It was just her. Didn’t give penny at all. Loved how she separated her pop star life from acting this time
@@kyopi3 I think she just didn't fit that role in particular and at the time was more focused on being the pop girly. She's definitely come a long way since then
Not strong enough to play elphaba she has an amazing voice but she was meant to be Glinda. She doesn’t have that powerhouse belt than the woman who plays elphaba
@funnysparta"the agenda" is showing different faces in media to inspire those who, in the past, were underrepresented. think of it as "making up for lost time." you know how many black girls signed up for swimming classes after the new little mermaid? diversity is never a bad thing.
@RaleighLittles Ariana is a great singer, but based on her style and ability, I don’t think she can do much justice for the character of Elphaba. Her voice is strong, but it doesn’t embody the strength of a “wicked” character that is Elphaba. I think the role of G(a)linda fits her like a glove though.
@@Shubeeduwah you could be right but she also admitted to using filler and stopped doing that. There’s like a vogue video or something where she states that
she is so good i cant
"I just had a vision like a prophecy" Oh Ari...
i'd love to hear her singing this song again now that her voice has matured as it seems on her recent snl's performances (specially we cant be friends)

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
She manifested it ❤
The way she puts the emphasis in 'and with all his wizard wisdom' really tickles my brain the right way.
who’s here nov 2024 🥹
me!
Me
meee
Here!!!
After watching the interview with the 4 ladies...
i cant wait to watch the movie, after 20 years 🤧
That little girl has such a strong set of pipes! Love u Ari!
THAT GLINDA RIGHT THERE! 😭😭😭
I knew she always wanted to be Glinda so happy she made it ❤ It was amazing watching her in Wicked on opening night 💚🩷
She was amazing. So happy for her
Oh Ari look how far you've come
watching this after seeing the movie. she got to live her theatre kid dream ♥️♥️
NO bye I'm emotional like she absolutely deserves all the awards and fame because she was born for the role of Galinda 🥲🥰
She nailed this role! ❤
The way Ariana channels Celine Dion during all of this is a win in my book!
stephen schwartz created some all time bangers.
Yessss she manifested
She was destined to play Glinda
I still would have liked to see her as elphaba after this... I'm worried her Glinda will be too similar to Kristen's... but I'm hoping that's just how the trailer shows it
Nah, Dove Cameron was. She was robbed
And she absolutely crushed it
@@ArtingFromScratch having seen it she really took her own spin on it, but stayed loyal to the character
@@xxfiza.no Ariana did amazing
What happened to the other bigger viewed vid?
I think for some reason the original one got copyrighted lmao
Listening to this I realize that Cynthia was channeling this performance when she sang the wizard and I.

@@AlieungirlAgreed!
👏👏got to give it to Arina that girl can sing
I love how people celebrated her in this clip
I miss the old ari😭
Shut up omg
People change over time. Learn ti embrace it.
@@inside_out1112and people can still miss their older versions
And people really doubted her musical theatre chops 🙄
Did you watch her in hairspray?! I loved her in wicked!!! But man her playing penny was rough. It was just her. Didn’t give penny at all. Loved how she separated her pop star life from acting this time

glindaaaaa
Who’s here when she got casted Glinda!!??🩷🫧💚🧹
🙌🏽💖💖
Not strong enough to play elphaba she has an amazing voice but she was meant to be Glinda. She doesn’t have that powerhouse belt than the woman who plays elphaba
It’s cause she’s a soprano
Honestly, she lacks the power of a True Glenda, because she lacks classical technique.
The woman who played elphaba is miss Cynthia ❤
17 years later
❤❤
And THEN I meet the wizard is what the lyrics are on the 2nd time she says it. She's singing it wrong
AS WE WORK HAND IN HAND, not WHEN WE WERE HAND IN HAND
She deserved to be Elphaba
@funnysparta"the agenda" is showing different faces in media to inspire those who, in the past, were underrepresented. think of it as "making up for lost time." you know how many black girls signed up for swimming classes after the new little mermaid? diversity is never a bad thing.
@funnyspartayeah it’s funny to you because your humor is based on your ability to not get it 😌
Now that’s my agenda
@@elizabethdm7354couldn’t have said it better 🙂
she wanted to be glinda
@RaleighLittles Ariana is a great singer, but based on her style and ability, I don’t think she can do much justice for the character of Elphaba. Her voice is strong, but it doesn’t embody the strength of a “wicked” character that is Elphaba.
I think the role of G(a)linda fits her like a glove though.
Can she learn the correct lyrics
She lookss more thin today than she does in this video. Still beautiful though.
That’s bc she is lol
People loose their baby fat and collagen as they age.. not sure how long ago was this, but she looks like she was still in her teenage years?
@@Shubeeduwah you could be right but she also admitted to using filler and stopped doing that. There’s like a vogue video or something where she states that
She's anorexic
Never thought there'd ever be a singer better than Whitney Houston, then I discovered Ariana. Wow.
No
Ariana is incredible but, she’s not as good as Whitney was.
I have been an Arianator since 2013 when I was 12... but no this is absolutely not true. Whitney is a talent we'll never see again in our lifetime.
Too bad she sang this song with her Blackriana voice 🙄 like barely pronouncing the words. Still amazing tho. She can do better
She's an excellent singer but I agree that she can do better, especially now with how much she has improved after Wicked.
