I'll never get tired of praising Kristin!! The era of pretty opera singers finally has come!!! With Kristin, Anna Netrebko, Katherine Jenkins and a host of oher beauty queens... Beauty, please come and shed your wonder light on mothy opera
"Glitter and Be Gay" is considered to be one of the most difficult songs in musical theater to sing and Kristen absolutely nails it. Thoroughly impressed!
OMG SHE IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! i knew that she could sing, but i didn't know that she was a trained opera singer, Her voice is exquistely beautiful and unique voice that will always be cherished!!! AMAZING!!!!
To be able to do that is just a miracle. I'm speechless and about ten shades of green with envy. The "laughing ha ha" part is especially demanding because first she does it along with the music, then she does it again one note/beat behind it, but stays on course.
Thanks for posting. Kristin is just musical perfection! God blessed her with amazing talent. Kristin blesses the world with it. "A SONG has no better friend than Kristin Chenoweth!"
I hadn't heard any of the other singers mentioned here before so I checked a couple of their videos out and I like Kristin the best. I love how she brings the song to life, and I also think that her voice is brilliantly suited for this style.
I really wish she would do more opera. She is so amazing and super talented. I was blown away. I know that she has a degree in opera, but I had no idea she was this good. Brava!
Agree. If anyone hasn't checked out Kristin's broadway debut in "Steel Pier" singing "Two Little Words"........WOW!!!! Don't compare her just to opera stars, she is a comedic performer par excellence!
She's so great! I really loved her voice since I first heard her... and if you can believe people's tellings she has to be a very fine person, too! I hope to see her life on stage one day....
I can't get tired from listening to or looking at Kristin. I'd wish to hear her singing opera. After all, Glitter is an opera aria in its own right. What would deter Kristin from singing any operatic repertoire - say Bellini or Donizetti? Bravo, Kristin
This performance is from 2004. She has improved both vocal and acting sides of this song even more. She was spot on for the 3 times I saw her live singing this song in 2009.
Thats was by far the best performance I have ever seen and her voice is very unique and beautiful. The fact that shes off beat in everything she does including her voice makes her all the more interesting.
Wow. I love hearing Cheno sing in a more operatic style. She's fantastic singing other styles too but her voice is so beautiful when she goes coloratura on it!!
I adore Kristin Chenoweth. She's such a brilliant actress and singer, and she's so funny. And those high notes...I wish I could hit them as brilliantly as her.
With one foot in traditional opera and the other in musical theatre, nobody is better positioned than La Chen to perform this piece - I dare you to find a performance of this that is more fun, that you understand better, or brings you greater joy. I want you at my next pajama party, baby! I'll supply the root beer and Jiffy Pop!
I wish EVERY one of my voice students could see this and understand the kind of vocal control and versatility they need to compete in the theatrical world. That is not only a naturally talented voice - it's a well trained one as well.
The character that she is in during this performance is Cunegonde from 'Candide'. And you are absolutely right, this is fantastic and she is fantastic. There's no one else like her that can perform like this.
I'd say it's most definately in the feel of Candide. Meanwhile, this is the best performance I've seen of her. I missed this performance live, but her control for the notes following "here I droop my wings" is just magnificent. She is truely a master.
I normally hate opera singers. There's something about the operatic style that grates at my ears. But whenever I listen to Kristin sing opera, I can't stop listening. She has SUCH an amazing talent. Love her to death!
i actually have a friend whose mom grew up in broken arrow, oklahoma, was a few years older than kristin, and went to high school with her! she is just perfect.
She is absolutely amazing! I'm a dramatic soprano with a high G when I'm doing lip bubbles...but I can't imagine hitting an E flat that many times. Props to you Kristin!
this performance is so much better than the one on the "in concert" version merely because it is more straightforward...there is too much going on in that DVD version...this is great!!!
What a joy. glad to have seen it, now I want to find out more about her. This role was written to be miked so that does not bother me at all. What fun.

Brilliant performance! Kristin once again delivers the whole package - singing, acting, comedic timing. What an amazing and versatile talent!
I'll never get tired of praising Kristin!! The era of pretty opera singers finally has come!!! With Kristin, Anna Netrebko, Katherine Jenkins and a host of oher beauty queens... Beauty, please come and shed your wonder light on mothy opera
Watching her perform is so inspiring. She gives everything 100%; you just can't help but watch her. That's true stage presence. :3
Her comedic timing is exemplary....beautiful, gracious, supremely talented woman...LOVE HER!!
Hysterical! What an outstanding preformance. This girl has so much talent it's unbelievable. I don't know how she can fit it in such a tiny body.
I love that she can sing opera with perfect comic timing. That is one of the hardest things to do. Awesome!!!
She is spectacular! She performs classical opera in a way that people who dont normally enjoy opera are completely entertained. I adore her~
Who knew this girl could sing, and sing like that! Such a lovely voice, and such fun!
Just fantastic! She is so darned good! Superbly talented, seems like a real person. I really enjoy her work.
Amazing! She has a great range and every note has so much personality!!! She's outstanding, I love her.
"Glitter and Be Gay" is considered to be one of the most difficult songs in musical theater to sing and Kristen absolutely nails it. Thoroughly impressed!
I'm falling in love with this song.
The orchestra are incredible.
She's incredible.
I LOVE IT.
Kristin Chenoweth has an breathtaking operatic head voice AND she can belt like no one else. I idolize her.
OMG SHE IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! i knew that she could sing, but i didn't know that she was a trained opera singer, Her voice is exquistely beautiful and unique voice that will always be cherished!!! AMAZING!!!!
Lovely! Really enjoyed her performance of this already wonderful song!
wow. that is like, the brightest voice I've heard in my entire life.
I love her! She is so brilliant and her voice is so beautiful!
BRILLIANT! Kristin successfully combines singing, acting and comedic skill. The haters have NO IDEA how difficult this aria really is.
To be able to do that is just a miracle. I'm speechless and about ten shades of green with envy.
The "laughing ha ha" part is especially demanding because first she does it along with the music, then she does it again one note/beat behind it, but stays on course.
That was fantastic and unlike what one said earlier...that is one of the best high E's, I have heard and I have heard some of the best.
Thanks for posting. Kristin is just musical perfection! God blessed her with amazing talent. Kristin blesses the world with it. "A SONG has no better friend than Kristin Chenoweth!"
I love her! Can't wait 'till she hits London with this in June. That top E-flat at the end is something else...
I hadn't heard any of the other singers mentioned here before so I checked a couple of their videos out and I like Kristin the best. I love how she brings the song to life, and I also think that her voice is brilliantly suited for this style.
What an amazing talent! And how wonderful to see an artist making Opera fun!
makes me smile!!!.......she really pulls this off!!! and spinning those pearls, you go gurl.......what panache!!!
I really wish she would do more opera. She is so amazing and super talented. I was blown away. I know that she has a degree in opera, but I had no idea she was this good. Brava!
I had the transcendent privilege of being onstage when she did this at Carnegie Hall and absolutely blew the roof off the place.
Agree. If anyone hasn't checked out Kristin's broadway debut in "Steel Pier" singing "Two Little Words"........WOW!!!! Don't compare her just to opera stars, she is a comedic performer par excellence!
She has every criterion needed to perform this aria, a superb technique, an effortless whistle register, a sense of humour...
She's so great!
I really loved her voice since I first heard her...
and if you can believe people's tellings she has to be a very fine person, too!
I hope to see her life on stage one day....
BRILLIANT! This has always been one of my favorite arias. I'm grateful this was posted.
She's soo amazing.... multi talented and simply wonderful.
she makes it look easy.. very charming with loads of personality
Such a beautiful voice. I loved this performance.
Astonishing voice! Amazing characterization! What a woman!
I can't get tired from listening to or looking at Kristin. I'd wish to hear her singing opera. After all, Glitter is an opera aria in its own right. What would deter Kristin from singing any operatic repertoire - say Bellini or Donizetti? Bravo, Kristin
absolutely flawless!!!!!who would ever think that broadway could be so fortunate to have such a gem!
I love this performance!
she is awesomely wonderful!
it's funny how she jumps up and down still singing! hehehe.
Her voice touches my soul. I feel in peace when listening to this.
Superb. I watch this video like ... all the time.
A true coloratura soprano.
This performance is from 2004. She has improved both vocal and acting sides of this song even more. She was spot on for the 3 times I saw her live singing this song in 2009.
Wow, she is just AMAZING. How could such a huge voice come out of that tiny woman? I don't find her shrill at all, she gives me chills
She's so amazing. I'm seeing her in Candide in London. June! 5 months! I actually cannot wait!
Genius music, genius lyrics, genius singing, genius acting. Wow.
she is a huge entertainer! She has this special light... like Liza, Judy... I cant stop looking her
OMG I've never heard her sing like this - she's amazing!!
Omg why werent people standing up!?!? she should have gotten a standing ovation! THAT WAS AMAZING!
Even though I've always loved this, now after hearing other people sing this song I realize just how much I love Kristin's voice
I love kristin, shes soo cute! =] lol. I love the ways she jumps around on stage. And gorgeous voice!!
Thats was by far the best performance I have ever seen and her voice is very unique and beautiful. The fact that shes off beat in everything she does including her voice makes her all the more interesting.
Kristin DID win "a 'Most Talented Up-and-Coming Singer' award in the Metropolitan Opera National Council auditions" when she was heading to college.
The voice of an angel, and still the best Glinda by far! I love her.
Wow. I love hearing Cheno sing in a more operatic style. She's fantastic singing other styles too but her voice is so beautiful when she goes coloratura on it!!
I adore Kristin Chenoweth. She's such a brilliant actress and singer, and she's so funny. And those high notes...I wish I could hit them as brilliantly as her.
Lmao I LOVE it. She is such a funny and down to earth person. Always laughing and putting on a great show. Thanks so much for the post.
WOW she is amazing. I love Kristin so much.

I'm soooo happy that's she's going to reprise the role of Cunegonde in Candide this summer!!!!!

"I hope he remembers the little people" LMFAO, her comedic timing is nothing short of genius!
She looks amazingly goodlooking in this video. wow. i'm amazed. not for her talent, i already knew that other amazing part of her.
The character that she is in during this performance is Cunegonde from 'Candide'. And you are absolutely right, this is fantastic and she is fantastic. There's no one else like her that can perform like this.

She is absolutely amazing! I'm a dramatic soprano with a high G when I'm doing lip bubbles...but I can't imagine hitting an E flat that many times. Props to you Kristin!
