Here's a game for all of you.
Turn off the screen, hide it or whatever and put on ear phones.
Then every singer that comes on guess if you know them or not (hard version: guess the name of the singer.) Then turn it over and see if you got them right.
You start to notice how distinct how everyone's voice is, it may be the same song, but everyone makes it their own in some way or another.
And E ohh this is cute. I'll pin your comment!
That's exactly what I'm doing ha ha
And E I guessed all I love wicked
Jessica Vosk hands down every time
It also helps you check your prejudices! You may think someone’s the best cause you’re a die hard fan then realize that there are others even better or just as good
AHHHH JESSICA VOSK. I FORGOT HOW AMAZING SHE IS
Amanda Dunbar I got to see her in Orlando it was so amazing :)
THE BEST ELPHABA PERIODT
I saw her in Buffalo for a field trip, she took my breath away ❤️
Tag yourself I'm Idina's tongue.
sergio vela OMG!
I'm Idina's jawline
Pearl the rebel it's strong though lol
Mister Golightly Most beautiful jaw ever XD
I'm Rachel's bruised uvula.
Okay, but how you gonna listen to Jessica Vosk milk that 9 with that IMMACULATE vowel on the last "I" and tell me she's not supreme?
Can you guess my next video with one word?: FIYEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOO
No Good Deed
Mister Golightly Climax to I will always love you~
Tristian Pace I had that one but idk bc it's such a classic and there's sooo many renditions
Mister Golightly, is it No Good Deed?
No good deed climax!
Stephanie J. Block actually originated the role and worked it through tryouts out of town. She was replaced with Idina Menzel when it came to NY.
As much as I love Stephanie, she only did about one or two workshop sessions before auditions were called for Elphaba, and then it was down between her and Idina which Idina gained because of her fame from RENT and dropping the "f" bomb in her audition....and it was Idina who did the tryouts, aka the San Francisco Early Runs as well as the Workshops between 2001-2003. But Stephanie is indeed one of the greatest Elphabas out there, right up there with Idina.
No, Idina was in some of the tryouts. At least that is what I heard or I might have read it in Kristin Chenoweth’s autobiography.
She played the role in LA, first time I saw it. Snatched out every hair on my head, especially after “Defying Gravity”. She’s amazing.
I think Stephanie should’ve played the OG Elphaba
MrFansley I didn’t know that they did some in LA, I thought that they tried it out in San Francisco. At least that is what Kristin Chenoweth said in her autobiography. I am not saying you are wrong; I just thought they tried the show out in only one city before heading to Broadway.
1:12 ... this girls vocals are PITCH FUCKING PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't
Jessica is my queen!
This is her fucking song
Saw her live in Philly on the closing date. Jessica Vosk was beyond sensational...
She's performing in Pittsburgh currently I believe
In my eyes, the best Elphaba will always be Jessica Vosk! 💚
Agree
Jessica is everything
I totally agree I saw her
SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!
I like her too
I gotta say, hands down, Jessica Vosk (1:10) absolutely kills this climax, and blows away any other competition. If we're going by "the best," hers is by far the cleanest, and so, so smooth and pleasing to the ear. The early riff on her "and I-" is absolutely beautiful. Sounds very much in character, doesn't take you out of the performance. Her voice moves like a wave and is truly effortless.
I'll say my second favorite is Rachel Tucker (9:45). So, so much power, and it doesn't even sound like she's straining to get there. That growl she does on her "and" is stunning. Her notes don't waver whatsoever. When she's holding the final note, she. sustains. it. and. does. not. let. it. drop. Such an impactful performance and so definitive.
Some people just have the perfect voice for a song. I really struggle to think how someone would be able to perform this song better than Vosk at a technical level. Someone may well prefer another version and singer, but Vosk, technically, is flawless here.
Rachel and Willemijn are in a whole other league.
Miguel Yanez yes there incredible
Rachel was the first Elphaba I ever saw perform in Wicked and she was everything to a fellow Northern Ireland girl. She's unbelievable. Her and Wilemijn are the vocalists I look up to for this song.
1. Donna Vivino, when she starts sustaining, it just rings soo strongly in your ear!
2. Jessica, I LOVE the variation she does with the I
3. Danna, very impressive belt!
4. Christine, solid.
Lindsay is my favourite Elphaba she’s so down to earth in real life. Her acting throughout the wizard and I and all her other songs astonishes me. She keeps me engaged. I’m sad I never got to see her live.
i wish ariana went the musical theatre route... i miss her actually enunciating
when she sings broadway she can still enunciate very well though
@@drewm.2790 that's the point
Watch some 2018 performances of hers.
I thought so too. Her 2018 live performance of The Wizard and I was good. But I hardly understand her words.
@@iheartyouandme4ever It's the worst version I heard. It feels hollow.
To be honest though, a musical director influenced my perception of the 2018 cover. Sir Fortich commended her technique but it is very lacking in "coloring", which is important in broadway songs.
Donna Vivino was my favorite Elphaba. I could listen to Donna sing the phone book. She was spectacular. Always giving props to Idina for originating the role, but Willamjin was my second fav. after Donna
Saw Donna as the standby in the National tour in 2008.... just spectacular. At the end of act 1 my mom and I just looked at one another like “wow...”
İ loved her like stand up singing show about her dream to play Gavroche ❤️❤️❤️
Ariana grande😍 she was 13 and had so much power in her voice honestly just amazing
Chloe Barnes yeah amazing
Wait she was thirteen? Holy crap I need to work harder lmao
@@novatague860 same lol
I have the feeling that she changed her technique to sound more pop and less musical.
@@novatague860 Same, I CAN'T EVEN SING PROPERLY BEING 20 😭
I personally love Rachel's growl in "AND" 💚
Me too!
Me too! I am LIVING for it! 💚
OMG!!! How had I never heard Rachel's version. Dear LORD...
You should do the high key in "seasons of love" rent. That would be awesome!
Love your videos!
Gabriel Pepperpöjk Yaaaaas
YÀAAAAAAAASSSSSSS
My favorites were Ariana Grande, Stephanie J. Block, Alyssa Fox, Myra Ruiz, Natalie Weiss, Christine Dwyer, Jemma Rix, Donna Vivino, Eden Espinosa, and Rachel Tucker
Easily Jessica Vosk
Colton Lacouture yep 100%
flawless
Donna Vivino is so underrated in my opinion. She's amazing!
My thoughts:
- idina is queen 👸
- shoshana poweeeeerrrrr Yaaas
- Jessica has a really sweet Disney like tone and I’m really loving it
- lea is my giiirrrll so of course i loved her version
- Kerry is amazing in general with what she can do and her versatility so I’m not surprised she did so well
- Ariana.... well i loved her voice back then but she needs to stop with this bubble gum pop singing tone it’s not as good
- Avery surprised me with his vibrato and general tone i loved it
- Stephanie, well we all know she’s a beast. Nuff said.
- Alyssa is- like i said on another video- adorable and i love how clear her tone is
- Myra has an awesome range with great power
- Natalie Is so freaking cute with her facials and movements
- Emma has greeeat inflection to her words
- Danna’s transition up killed me it was so flawless
- Luke has a really nice voice i love it
- Lindsay is amazing in general and she gets really into it

- willemijn is great I’m sure we’ve all heard her sustaining abilities
- John yaaas another guy on this list killing it!
- Donna has this really nice quality to her voice that’s appealing to me a lot
- Kyle got so into it i love that! He also shaped the last riff really nicely
- eden.... do i even need to say it?? She’s killer! She did seem tired tho which i can imagine
- Jacqueline had beautiful tone to her voice
- Jackie’s was pretty but the notes seemed to get away from her a bit at times
- rachel seeems to be a fan favorite and i can see why! That vibrato!!
definetly agree about Ariana.. I really enjoyed reading through your commentary while watching the video!!
@@LumaLena23 Saame
It's so crazy when you saw Willemijn in another language and then hear this. I love her so much
Idina Menzel held it for like 20 seconds that’s incredible she is so talented and by far my favorite Elphaba!❤️
Videos by Abi same
I completely agree:-)
To me I find the “ee” in “teeaam” the most tricky to sing. Some of them tried to modify it to “eh”, some tried to riff through it because they couldn’t sustain the straight sound/aim for the right pitch, some took a breath too long, some got too screamy, some got too loud. Only one didn’t do any of the above and that’s Jessica Vosk.
Rachel Tucker is my number one Elphie, followed closely by Eden, Shoshanna and the ever so flawless Donna Vivino! Love your musical theater videos. ❤️
Jessica Vosk !! I saw her in person !! She was amazing
Stephanie J. Block and Donna Vivino all the way. They are both criminally underrated Elphabas. I will never forget seeing Stephanie and Annaleigh together on Broadway.
I saw willemijn Verkaik on Broadway as Elphaba and thought she was amazing
Difficult one!!🤣💚
1. Rachel
2. Danna
3. Wills
4. Christine
5. Jackie B
God, I love Jessica Vosk so much.
Ariana Grande is an amazing singer who’s made for broadway, but judging from her newest version of The Wizard and I versus this one, she is too focused on the voice she BUILT for pop music rather than her real, and what I think is much better, Theatre voice.
Harlan D. Kind of but based on the new vs old in the new one she has way more control over her voice enough to add extra notes in the newest one and the old one her voice was kind of bland but still good.
Can you blame her though? She would no doubt have had a successful and rewarding career on Broadway. But as a pop star she's stupid rich and several years away from even turning 30.
Honestly she had way less control over her old voice even though she has better pronunciation. What’s important is that now she’s making the music she wants to make and singing the way she wants to sing.
The idea that we have one 'real' voice is not a healthy one, tbh. Being able to adapt and control intonation etc to perform different styles is hugely important and requires a lot of hard work on the singers part.
this might be a stupid question but can i ask what really makes a broadway voice different from a pop one??
Willemijn has proven herself to be my favorite Elphaba. I love Indina but Willemijn's Fieyero riff is just :0
yesss
did i just watch a 10 minute video of people singing the same thing over and over? yes.
do i have math homework due tomorrow that i haven’t even started? also, yes.
do i regret this decision? hell no.
jackie burns is my favorite. i’ve seen her twice as elphaba and i got to meet her at the stage door and she was amazing. i told her my dream role is elphaba and she said she can be my madame morrible
Rachel, my god !!! She didn't play Elphaba, she WAS Elphaba !!!!😎
For me Jessica Vosk will alway be the best Elphaba
My top 3 picks:
Jackie Burns
Idina Menzel
Jessica vosk
WolfMel no way same
İf it was top five i would add Danna and Eden
lindsey mendez’s placement is so gorgeous and i love her “and i” it’s my favorite riff for sure
I haven't even heard Rachel Tucker yet but she's still my fave ❤️❤️
Idina Menzel and Lindsay Mendez sounded amazing (just like everyone else) but I also loved their energy. Lindsay looked so happy and excited, and Idina looked so determined. They weren't Idina and Lindsay playing Elphaba. They were Elphaba.
I always forget how amazing Jessica Vosk is holy smokes
Rachel Tucker - the riffs and growl😍
Can somebody please give me Jessica Vosk 's voice?!
I would’ve loved to see Jessica Vosk live... it was a beautiful play on the melody, very fresh.
I saw Jessica Vosk play Elphaba on tour in Boston and just law night saw Ms. Vosk perform at Boston Symphony Hall. Her purity of voice still rings true & clear!
I was lucky enough to see her play Elphaba in Buffalo, NY on the National tour prior to her Broadway run. It was just an unbelievably elite performance. Stole the show. Didn’t have a clue who she was when I walked in, so she gained a fan for life in me.
Willemijn is the best ;) thanks for using my video ;)
Elphaba Elisabeth that's your video? How amazing was she live?
amazing :D she is the best.
miss ariana did that!
Rachel tucker ! The tone, the raps and that growllllll
my personal favorites are jessica vosk, stephanie j block, danna paola, and kerry ellis!
Rachel Tucker, always Rachel Tucker. maybe in your next video you could include my favourite Elphaba, Alice Fearn (the new west end lead)
Big up Alice Fearn. She BELTS out this climax 💚💚💚💚💚
i've always loved Jemma's tone in this song, especially when she does the F#5 on "feeling things IIIIIII've never felt". But there's so many good Elphaba's in this video, Lindsay, Jessica, Donna and Rachel are probably my absolute faves for this song though. Now can we talk about how messy Lea's band was?? 1:36
Someday omg yes! I cringed while I was editing poor Lea
Someday ss
Jackie Burns is the best elphaba we have ever had so far for sure.
Stephanie J Block is a QUEEN and I love her so much. I can’t express how much I adore her
Shoshanna had me shook. Truly compelling!
My top vocal Elphies are Jessica Vosk, shoshana Bean, & Donna Vivino
Kerry Ellis has this aura where I am never concerned if she’s going to deliver, it’s like “I got this...” 💕
My top three are: 3. Donna Vivino, 2. Danna Paola, and 1. Kerry Ellis
Willemijn Verkaik is the best Elphaba ever 💚
Jessica vosk, Alyssa fox, danna paola, Lindsay mendez!!!, jemma rix so many good ones!!!
4:58 like si hablas español y te gusta Danna Paola
So I see that Ariana Grande has forgotten her Broadway pronunciation throughout the years?
Kay_ Carlsin I literally need to see a lyric video in her songs like lol....
Matthew Matousek in the pop world its about creating a certain voice and standing out so thats why she doesnt sing like shes playing a character which stage singing and pop singing is very different
Well yeah cause she doesn’t sing Broadway anymore sooooo
@Matthew Matousek I think it's just stylistic purposes in her pop songs, because when she sings broadway she enunciates very well
she just performed the wizard and i yesterday it was amazing
My reactions:
Idina slaaaaaaaaaay.
Shoshana was pretty good
Jessica ohh yesss
Lea good but not my fav
Kerry ohmygod damn girl
Ariana you go girl slay
Avery damn you great
Stephanie omg yaaas
Alyssa girl you go
Myra SLAY
Natalie omg yeeees
Emma not my fav but vv good
Danna wooooaaah girlll
Luke eh I guess he good
Lindsay nice
Christine YAAAAS
Jemma oooh nice
Willemijn oooh yesss queen
John pretty good
Donna HOLY CRAP SHE SLAY
Kyle wow. Just wow. Great
Eden O MY GAWD
Jacqueline good
Jackie wooooaaaaah
Rachel yasss girl you go
So yeah that was my thoughts
Good thoughts very accurate
luke had a broadway pronunciation. it seems like ur comparing him to modern music :-
Jemma needs more love, that was incredible.
Shoshana’s team riff and C6 gave me life
I agree with your thoughts on Donna
Strangely enough, I like Ariana's rendition.
Stephanie and Jessica will always be my faves!!!! The notes just sit so nicely in their voices!!!!!!!!
Jackies new riff is amazing and of course Rachel Tucker is alaways my favorite!
Me in the shower: sings like Idina
Me any other time: sounding like I’m dying
I loved shoshanna, and Jessica vosk I loved her riffs, Stephanie Block, Alyssa fox was great
And of course Rachel tucker I saw her live
I just saw Jessica live today, and she is even better live, omg, im literally searching youtube for videos of her cuz she was that good
I absolutely love Jackie Burns and after seeing her twice/meeting her, I love her so much more.
Stephanie has the best performance, let's face it, because it was a concert. She's perfect.
But we gotta love Captain Jack Harkness as Elphaba.
Sopher Saucer I’m so jealous I would have loved to meet Jackie she’s my absolute favourite Elphaba
jackie burns for sure . she sounded so good live
Everyone here did such a great job but there is something about jessica vosk that i just can't resist oh lord
jessica vosk, ariana grande, alyssa fox, danna paola, christine dwyer, and jemma rix are the best ones
Ended with the two elphies that I have been lucky enough to see, truly obsessed with this show 😻🙋♀️
my top 3:
1. Idina Menzel ofc she KILLS it 💕
2. Jessica Vosk 😍
3. Donna Vivino!! omg I’ve never heard her before but shes amazingggg ❤️
the highlight of the show:
idina's tongue
1. Myra Ruiz
2. Rachel Tucker
3. Alice Fearn
4. Danna Paola
5. Jessica Vosk
❤️❤️❤️❤️
HEY RAFA Donna Vivino
1) Jessica Vosk
2) Mary-Kate Morissey, who was not in this video but was with the national touring cast in 2018 and was AMAZING. Brought me to TEARS!
3) Eden Espinosa
4)Shoshanna Bean
Indina, Jessica, Lea, Kerry, Arianna, Alyssa, Willemyn, John and Jackie
Idina is inconsistent, but this particular performance was amazing, perfect control! Still, Kerry is my favourite belter by far :-) I saw Rachel in person, and she was also fantastic... I like Luke's timbre, I had never heard him before...
Shoshana is so beautifully extra and I absolutely love it 😂❤️
Lindsay was by far the best, not only her voice, but her character
Shoshana won me over with that whistle at the end
But come on they're all amazing!
Little Phlox that was head voice
They're all amzing singers and I can't wait to watch this soon
They’re all amazing it’s hard for me to pick a favourite
But rachel tucker's growl on AAAAND is giving me real actual goosebumps
I saw Lindsay’s final performance, she’s my personal favorite elphie. And her and Alli are my fave galinda/elphie pairing. Also bless the 8am belting in her clip.
I can tell you from the start it's Rachel Tucker.
It wasnt that special...
They were all amazing OF COURSE! But my top 3 if I had to choose:
1. Jessica Vosk
2. Christine Dwyer
3. Donna Vivino
but again...it's so close, cause their all SO talented!!
Kerry Ellis. The queen. That RING was amazing.
i am OBSESSED with how Lindsay Mendez sings, specifically how she sings “team”. i also love jessica vosk, she was my first elphie.
I love to see your videos and see how much a song in a musical has evolved into every singers own way! Wicked has definitely been one of those evolved shows. 😍💚💗
Jackie Burns and Indina Menzel sang it best.
Honorable Mentions: Lindsey Mendez, Jessica Vosk
Jessica Vosk, oh my god she gave me goosebumps
I have no idea who won because everyone was so amazing but I just want to mention Jemma Rix. She was the first elphaba I saw in wicked and she was incredible. She helped fuel my wicked and broadway obsession and as an Australian it’s hard to do an American accent but she maintained it for the whole show while sounding phenomenal
Danna Paola (4:58) was only 18 when she did THAT!
Idina's tongue looks odd
No tongue pressure at all haha
Well she is a witch after all
It's proper placement for some of those notes.
Molly Levinthal that’s called tongue tension and it is the reason she got nodules from singing the role 8 times a week. It puts unnecessary and harmful tension on the folds.
Molly Levinthal It’s seriously not, that tongue position is a big contributor as to why Menzel can’t sing anything above D5 reliably anymore.
Jessica Vosk was literally flawless
rachel tucker the myth the LEGEND
A lot of these ladies may be better technical singers than Idina, but nobody out-acts her. Idina fully embodies the character and puts so much into the performance that makes it stand above everyone that came after. Donna Vivino is a close second. Also, so many of these ladies voices, while fantastic, are so similar that they’re basically interchangeable. But Idinas voice is recognizable from the first note she sings.
Jessica Vosk!!
Jackie sounded great here, but personal favourite is Eden Espinosa. Maybe not this clip but in general
Ryan Brown same. She was the first I saw and she’s brilliant
Love willenijn too
I really like Stephanie J. Block. But I am a little biased towards her, anyway.
YAS
