@@johnlewinski6359 okay i'm having trouble with the tempo too like in the wizard and i preview. but I'll hold that for only having the original and broadway versions as my reference. I'll wait to see the whole thing.
Ariana was not joking when she said she was gonna take care of Glinda. She truly was the best choice for this role and I'm really happy to see her playing a character that she wanted to play it for so long.
You can hear the reference that Ariana has for character in the way that she sings the songs I mean yes she adds her own little space here and there, but it’s nothing so drastic that she wouldn’t recognize the basic melody and overall she does a splendid splendid job she truly took care of Glenda and I love it.
A lot of folks talk about how she tries too hard to sound like Kristin Chenoweth and IIRC I heard Kristin was on set or at one time a mentor. However listening to this, I feel like although it's *similar* it's still pretty distinctly Ariana in a lot of places. That's what homage is. I'm excited to see more.
Kristin is Ari's godmother and role model. Kristin also brought to life Glinda first and therefore established a style for Glinda that I personally think all other Glindas should try to embody a little bit at least. Like you said, I think it's wonderful to hear Ari pay homage to her in her own way.
its a lose lose imo because if she had done something completely unique people would say that she ruined the role and changed it too much I think wicked is such a huge thing to live up to and no fan is truly gonna be happy with it completely thats how fans of cult classic things are 🤷♀️
From what I know Kristin is the most influential mentor for Ariana... I think she's mentioned this in an episode of The Voice where Kristin became a guest to help Ariana train her team. Anyways, I do think Ariana did good in trying to emulate Kristin without losing what makes Ariana's voice Ariana's AND it sounds perfect to me so idk what people are complaining about
it's mainly a theatrical sound but the song is literally called Popular and i think it's great she changed it up a bit since we already have the broadway version and added a little pop is in character for Glinda
it’s gonna be pretty hard to not have a single sound that comes out of your mouth resemble anything within 11 years of music you’ve sang. I feel if this was peoples first introduction to ariana grande they’d be so much more positive.
“Instead of dreary whoooo you were, well are” the riff on that is perfection. Never had a doubt about Ariana. Would love to see her in the broadway show!
@TheSwauzz Studio, autotune. Do not believe in anything, unless she stays and sing in from if you without any technology. It’s Hollywood - lies and illusion.
Seeing her and Cynthia in their dream roles will forever warm my heart. I feel so much love everytime I see and hear something about this movie. Such angels I'm so happy about this cast and SO EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE!!
That wasn't even that other girl's dream role no one even knows her this is just popular cause ariana grande and thus is arianas dream role she's been trying to get it for more than 10yrs no one even knows the green girl she just got lucky
Coming from someone who was less than thrilled when Ariana Grande was cast and who was very concerned if she was up for the role both vocally and acting-wise, I was blown away. She nailed it. Her voice was beautiful, her comedic timing was spot on, and her chemistry with Cynthia Erivo was excellent. Well done AG!
I stopped at 0:24 because I'm sold. I'll finish it in theaters. I feel like Ariana really tapped into her acting and impressions bag here, because she sounds so different but exactly how I'd expect Glinda to sound.
According to herself in a recent interview, she did extensive vocal lessons to train her voice out of pop Ari and into Glinda. She is incredibly passionate and dedicated to this role. She truly coveted it and worked so hard for it. People are sleeping on her ability to transform because she's never really had many chances to show her talent outside of pop stardom. I mean.. when she took off as a pop singer, she fuggin skyrocketed to outer space pretty quickly. I bet she had other dreams, plans and goals before that happened but they got put aside.
As harsh as it sounds I’m glad dove Cameron didn’t get it, Ariana is perfect she’s made it her own and et at the same time brought Kristin chenoweth into the performance and I love her for that
I was so skeptical about her doing this role; mainly due to the lack of diction and how "airy" her voice is with her music. However, now i am excited to see it. She definitely nailed this.
i knew she had it in her due to older videos of her singing theater before her pop career and her broadway debut in 13 but i was little scared because how the new mean girls movie went and i'm glad they gave her glinda rather than elphie
am i the only one hearing the weird autotuned parts? like arianas voice sounds lovely why did they have to add the robot sounding tuning around the first couple populars?? idk just wish we got a little better of an audio mix for this :( still sounds great tho ariana is a really good glinda
Remember they sang LIVE with the orchestra in their ear. But I feel it sounds robotic because they are muting the movie detail sounds like the moments, the hand claps, the walking, the make up accessories sounds etc.
The first time we hear “you gonna be popular” needs to get whoever did that autone stitch fired. We know she’s morethan capable to do it. It’s probably a tuning thing so it’s perfect with the mix. But the audible audio jump is just cheap sound editing.
You know it is frankly easy to sing the second popular how she does especially when someone is singing using more nasal and glottal sounds, (btw i'm not a singer but i'm studying linguistics, so by no means am I an expert) it may sound a bit weird cause that's not the sound you expect to come out, but it probably isn't autotune.
@@MrXingor You can literally hear the singing be artificially pitch corrected, it's horrible. Pitch correction is different than autotune and can be done live or during post-production.
She's the perfect Glinda! We could not have asked for more! 😊 I have been constantly listening to Popular songs by Mika and Ariana Grande and Kristin Chenoweth. 😁🎶
I anticipated a pop interpretation and to see it not only true to the original, but to have Ariana show such a beautiful interpretation, showing she truly has a gorgeous voice. congratulations. A triumph

Fwiw, the original (and intended, confirmed elsewhere) is "proper ploys” I didn't actually learn this myself until recently. I thought it was poise for a long time as well.
on the money that amanda or dove or anyone under the sun couldnt have done this better. this is my serotonin in sound and im so grateful its finally on yt!🍭🍀
La gente que está usando lo de Amanda para atacar a Ari cuando es súper común su propuesta y muy pasada de edad, no tiene ningún sentido.. Ariana fue la mejor opción, de lejos.. además, le dió todos los focos para que sea un éxito
She may have an incredible voice for pop music, but she has an incredible voice for this type of music too; I was really hesitant at first about whether or not Ari could nail these songs that I’ve come to love for all these years, but this has proven me wrong.
You guys know that one meme of Victoria Justice saying “i think we ALL sing” in that one interview with the Victorious cast? well i think we ALL were nervous about what ariana would sound like for this role. but everything ive listened to, sounds so so good 💛 gets me so excited!
Whoever did the sound design on this should be ashamed of themselves! I’ve heard Ariana’s vocals and everyone knows she doesn’t need autotune…so why am I hearing pitch correction all over the place?? And it’s so painfully obvious!
The singing is AMAZING but i think the music/soundtrack team went a little too far with the pitch correction for a talk-sing song like this. Hope they can toned it down a little bit😅
Saw her last night at the early screening. Ariana is phenomenal. I love her now more than ever. The entire cast of wicked is just spot on. I’ll definitely see it again.
The break on "Dialysis" ugh it's PERFECTION. She did what needed to be done.
yess we call that a grace note, its a really fast 3 note run (down up down). Good catch!
My fav is "instead of dreary WhOoo u were" 🥰
The only GOOD song in the whole broadway show- but still this doesn't have the charm of Krinstin's performance. This version seems too rushed.

People will complain either way. Some people just love to complain and be miserable. I'm just glad Arianna did her best
You can hear her voice go back and forth between theater and pop star.
With Glinda's character, that's intentional she has theatrical operatic moments and pop moments. It's written like that.
it's mainly a theatrical sound but the song is literally called Popular and i think it's great she changed it up a bit since we already have the broadway version and added a little pop is in character for Glinda

Same
There were singers that sung as themselves in film musicals. I’m so glad Ariana hasn’t. This role is taken seriously and I love it! 👏🏾💖
She has always had the talent to transform her vocals. Her sound for pop Ari is just one style she sings.

What’s with the “lar” anyway
Rhyming with "are" in the previous line, when she changes from "were" to "are."

The fact she did a song with Mika based on this song and now is doing it in Wicked is insane
What is happening with the production (it's kind of lagging especially at 0:03) and why does she barely show any emotion. The choreo is so cute though
I'm OBSESSED
I loved that the video ended with "lar" 😂, it was very funny
Ariana nació para ser Glinda, esta versión de popular es hermosa, ella hizo lo que mejor sabe hacer que es cantar💕😊
Ariana Grande is familiar with the song "Popular", since she made a pop version of this song with Mika back in 2013

Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!
This is simply PERFECT.
She sounds amazing
this is so addicting! 😩💗💚
