Literally, Wicked would've ended a 1000 time better if they just got together. A classic wlw enemies-to-lovers witches against the patriarchy kinda deal
And suddenly the world was a better place. The retelling of the story we've all been waiting for. Fingers crossed the rest of the soundtrack is on its way.
Funfact: The first time I listened to Defying Gravity, I thought it was a song about a witch that is actually (not yet realizing) gay and has a crush on another girl, but is promised to a wizard. The wizard finds out and things escalate, the other girl denies to ever have romantic interest in the witch, so they fight (which is the discussion in Defying Gravity) and instead of staying with her or with the wizard, she accepts herself and goes on alone. I don't know why I came to that conclusion, but without context that song just sounded extremely gay. And then I watched Wicked and now need to stick to the official version.
Even the original version could be interpreted as Gelphie, until halfway through the song. listening the cast recording the fact that it played after "popular" makes it feel like elphaba had a gay panic, ran away, and sing this song after lol.
Cultured Fact: In the original novel Elphaba kisses Glinda as she leaves to join the resistance. She's confirmed bi, and it's safe to assume Glinda's a lesbian since she isn't shown attracted to any man, only Elphie.
@@bi_beans9011 It's culture😉. You should read the novel, by Gregory Maguire. "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West". The musical is based on it and it's a lot more gay 😂
When I was younger, I really wanted to play Glinda so that I could change a few of the lyrics to the I'm Not That Girl reprise to make it seem like Glinda had realised too late that she loved Elphaba not Fiyero, so this has very much made my day
I'm not the person you're looking for but the lyrics that could fit would be Don't wish, don't start Wishing only wounds the heart She's a girl I know He loves her so Can't have that girl @@LarrySonOfMilton
As someone who was introduced to wicked from a young age by my mother. Yes. When I saw it for the first time, I was too young to know the word "gay" but I thought Elphaba and Glinda were girlfriends. Not to mention how close the word "loathing" is to sounding like "loving" :). My mom and I have been shippers of them since the show was on broadway.
It’s about time we got the correct version of this song. But seriously the moment the changed lyrics started it just felt right. Your voice is incredible which is just a plus
That line ‘I wasn’t born for the rose and the pearl’ could be interpreted in this version to mean that Elphie wasn’t meant for the conventional heterosexual romance/marriage and needs to follow her heart which happens to want a girl
What’s cool is that I can’t say that “I like this version better or think “nice cover but I’ll stick with the og version” because they tell different stories. This is the story of a girl in love while the other is the story of unrequited love and being jealous but having no ill will to the other girl or the guy. She is hurt and insecure in the original while she is more confident in this one. Love this!
This version could be like a reprise or smth where in the original version she likes the boy and she "hates" the other girl, and in this version she realizes she actually likes the girl and is jealous of the boy (considering she praises the other girl sm)
The original version has the same sort of energy as Jolene. "Here, like me lovingly describe how beautiful this woman is. And there's some guy involved too."
I can’t say how much this means to me. Wicked is my favorite musical ever since I knew what a musical was and this song - ahhh I sang it so many times when I was heartbroken for the first time about my first girl crush back then. Wow. This hits differently. Thank you so much for bringing back my memories - you’re truly amazing ❤️🥲 even though I’m crying now!
What kills me is that this song is basically supposed to be for Fyero. Now, the melody that plays at the beginning of the song is the same as when Glinda told Elphaba that she was beautiful for the first time. Like, wtf the writers?!
omggg it just gets gayer at every turn also the fact that glinda puts the flower fyero gave her romantically in elphie's hair first. and after she tells her she's beautiful elphaba says 'I have to go' in that quiet voice. like ???? in what world is it not flamingly blissfully beautifully gay im so upset at the fyero plotline every time
The Fyero plotline is as much a cover as Galinda's comphet is, lol. It's frustrating we can't just get the love story outright, but I view it as another layer to the conflict they face and their love story... The fact that they need to hide behind a male love interest when they're so obviously the ones in love. It speaks both to the time the story was told, and the world Galinda and Elphaba live in.
@@ceceliam9014 This is true, though I wish they could have a moment where each of them realise how they feel, or at least the audience is shown even if the characters stay in ignorance as a part of the conflict of their relationship. but it must be of its time ig, and there's people who would probably riot if they changed it now lol
@@mohanthegay4398 Yeah, exactly. The fact that they couldn't do that actually makes their love hit harder for me, it's like the ways the story was stifled by society is the same way the characters are stifled. Often gay baiting is frustrating (though I know a lot of the time that is the artists and storytellers wanting to have representation the industry doesn't let them), but for some reason the way those limitations resonate in Wicked hits different for me. Probably because I actually trust the people making it know what's behind it. And the writing is more self aware. Even this song, it's barely about Fiyero and feels much more like it's about Elphaba wishing she could be "that girl" (Galinda) who gets to have "that boy", and "fit in" with societal expectations of everything we're told to want when she knows at her core she's different (with the additional layer that Galinda is different too, she's so buried in comphet and trying to meet everyone's expectations that she's trapped in a gilded cage)... All that just feels like despite the fact we don't get that plotline outright this story still gets it, you know?
@@ceceliam9014 This is very true, and I agree - the queerbaiting/unrealised gayness in wicked is sad because we obviously ship them, but there are elements of it that add to the story and dynamic, and vice versa
That one line in Defying Gravity really stuck to me when I realized it which was, _"Kiss me goodbye (I'm defying gravity)"_ Focusing on the kiss me goodbye, in the novel, Gelphie did kiss goodbye and it's just-- _Fricc!_ **Sad gay noises**
I was in my room with my crush and proposed we listen to some music and I see Reinaiery just released this song and immediately put it on. I was literally crying because of how beautiful this cover is (and also fitting for the moment)
This makes me realize how gay this song was, to begin with. Even before I knew girls could be with girls, I shipped Elphaba and Glinda. They ooze enemies to lovers so much it's not even funny. If one of them was a guy, people would be pissed they didn't end up together. On a separate note, I'm now picturing Chris Pratt playing Elphaba. Just him wearing a dress that's too tight and acting like starlord. He doesn't even shave. It's just him in a dress. That sounds like it would be far more entertaining of a casting decision than Ariana Grande being Glinda. If Ariana Grande acts as she did in Victorious, she will murder this role and not in a good way. I remember hating her in that show. Her voice was so annoying.
I just. So I only came out this summer, right, and it's like every other day, something slaps me in the face from my adolescence that makes me go "oh, *girl,* you were *enormously* gay this whole damn time". Today, it's re-experiencing this song and remembering that I was VIVIDLY picturing "that girl" and her "gold hair with a gentle curl" every time I sang, without fail. I can't handle myself, I need a minute 🙈
I’ve been waiting for this my whole life! Sometimes I sing this version of the song in the shower or in the middle of the night to calm myself down. Thank you for posting this.
Oof, this cover hit me hard... The very first time I fell in love was with my best friend whom I had known ever since elementary school. Just a short time before I realized my feelings for her, I discovered I'm asexual and thought I had finally figured myself out after feeling so broken for so long. But then, one winter day while we were cuddling up on her couch and watching TV, I happened to glance at her and felt my heart skip a beat. I was so overwhelmed with the sudden desire to kiss her and it freaked me out. I could only internally scream as I experience my first gay panic and questioned how this was possible while trying to remain calm on the outside so not to freak her out. For a long time, I wasn't able to share my feelings with her and I knew that telling her how I felt would only end badly for us both. One: She's straight and totally boy-crazy while I'm very much a girl. Two: She's so not my type. Three: Even if she did somehow return my feelings, we'd make a TERRIBLE couple. And four, and most terrifying for me in the heat of the moment: She had already been betrayed by somehow she thought of as a friend but tried to force herself onto her. Just a short time before I discovered my feelings for her, my best friend told me about the trauma she endured when a long-time friend of hers that she knew even longer than me suddenly confessed to her and tried to force herself onto her. The experience really freaked out my friend and it ruined their friendship. I always knew that girl was bad news, but I never could have imagined she'd do something like that. As you can imagine, I became terrified that my best friend whom I had suddenly fallen in love with would freak out and accuse me of being just as bad as her ex-friend and cut off our friendship. I didn't want to ruin our friendship over my own stupid, selfish feelings for her and so kept quiet for a long time. For over a year, I tried to force myself to get over my feelings for her for the sake of our friendship. Finally, I felt like I had gotten over her and changed the love I had for her into sisterly love. Still, I kept quiet for some time more just to be safe. After about 2 years, I finally came out to my friend as demi-panromantic and admitted to discovering this about myself because I had developed feelings for her. I quickly assured her that I no longer felt that way about her, that I cared too much about our friendship to hurt her, and even expressed my fear that she might think as terribly as me as her ex-friend. Thankfully, my friend was understanding and accepted me after I came out to her. She was definitely shocked to learn I had such feelings for her, but was grateful that I respect her boundaries and our friendship enough that I would put myself through such torment for her sake. We hugged it out and even said "I love you" for the first time to each other. We didn't say it as best friends or lovers, but as sisters. I'm so grateful that she understood how I felt and didn't let this sudden confession ruin our friendship after everything I did to try and preserve it. We've now been best friends for 20 years going on 21 and are still as close as can be. Although I was so terrified of admitting the truth to her, I'm glad I finally told her how I had felt about her when I did. What I thought would ruin our friendship ironically only brought us closer. I still love that crazy bundle of energy even when she drives me up the wall with her go-getter attitude. I'm very lucky to not have only found a friend in her, but a sister as well.
Ahhh I was looking for a I’m Not That Girl but it’s gay the other day (haha that rhymed) and thought “Eh if there’s not one now, Reinaeiry will probably make one at some point”. Now it exists and I shall listen to it on repeat just like every other song on this channel :)
but it is kinda. she describes glinda a LOT more vividly then fiyero. like, 'gold hair with a gentle curl'? 'she whos winsome'? i think she meant handsome, ppl.
This is absolute gorgeous and I'm in a Wicked mood (hah!)!!! Would loooove to see a complementary As Long as You're Mine (but it's gay) duet version 👀 ... you know... just throwing it out there...
Such a beautiful cover! As an LGTBQ Wicked fan this song speaks a lot to me and I’ve felt what Elphie feels plenty of times. I love this take on it of her having a crush on Glinda! Well done :) 💗💚
Can you please make a gay cover of “As Long as Your Mine” from Wicked? It would mean so much to me! My crush (who is a girl) took me to see Wicked and we held hands during the entire show. I think I’m in love! She probably only thinks of me as a friend though. I can live with that.
Yeah, I can't really picture Ariana Grande as Glinda, oh gosh, I was so excited before and now I'm just like "meh". That being said! Your amazing version of I'm Not That Girl definitey helped to improve my mood and cope with this news :) you're so talented! Thank you for sharing this with us all
Hehe this is amazing cus I always sing the reprise as if I'm Fiyero. "There's a girl I know, she loves her so, I'm not that girl" and then gelphie sings As Long as You're Mine oh yeee
Omg you just killed me with the beauty of this 😍😍😍 you’re a queen! I used to listen to this song so much as a closeted gay teen. It means the world that you brought it back. Lots of love to you!!! And Thankyou!!!
Who's here in 2024 🩷💚
YEAH!!!! I hope they kiss in part 2 (they kissed in the books, IT HAS TO BE POSSIBLE)
Just watched it, 12 hours ago.... never saw the original musical before. I loved it though!!
Here after watching it for the 2nd time in the cinema earlier today!
yes mam 🫡

I’ve listened to a lot of musical animation channels and I think yours it one of the best.
This is absolute gorgeous and I'm in a Wicked mood (hah!)!!! Would loooove to see a complementary As Long as You're Mine (but it's gay) duet version 👀 ... you know... just throwing it out there...
Not gonna lie, as a person who's only heard two songs from Wicked I thought it was already gay
I remember this being my first ever wlw ship
YES!
I've been waiting for so long for a version like this, and you delivered it so amazingly!! 💚 I could listen to this for hours :')
You really don't know how much I needed this! Love you Eiry!
Ohh we love this!!! we want another gelphie cover please!!! 💌
This is absolutely amazing 🤩!!
I've been longing to hear a gay version of this song for so long!!
This is so amazing !!!! I would totally love to hear you cover one of the mean girls musical songs 😭😭 your voice would absolutely crUSH a Regina song
WAHHHHH i was just thinking about wicked today, what a great thing to listen to before working!!! beautiful work as always!!
I love that you always do the gay version! We all need that! Also you have an amazing voice!
Such a beautiful cover! As an LGTBQ Wicked fan this song speaks a lot to me and I’ve felt what Elphie feels plenty of times. I love this take on it of her having a crush on Glinda! Well done :) 💗💚
Magnificent cover.
We need this on spotify right now plssss ;-;
MASTERPIECE
Can you please make a gay cover of “As Long as Your Mine” from Wicked? It would mean so much to me! My crush (who is a girl) took me to see Wicked and we held hands during the entire show. I think I’m in love! She probably only thinks of me as a friend though. I can live with that.
I like this song with the deeper register/a stronger use of chest voice- or whatever you are doing here. So good!
This is so cute omg
this cover said gelphie rights 💖💚
Yeah, I can't really picture Ariana Grande as Glinda, oh gosh, I was so excited before and now I'm just like "meh".
That being said! Your amazing version of I'm Not That Girl definitey helped to improve my mood and cope with this news :) you're so talented! Thank you for sharing this with us all
And then they planted her a lesbian field of tulips and put her in a lesbian dress and she did a longing dance with Elphaba
what a beautiful voice
Seriously I am seriously seriously fucking thrilled and happy rn
Beautiful as always. 😭 but this gave my heart that happy squeeze.
"Wicked but it's gay."
So... just Wicked?
Holy ...that is an awesome cover!
Another song for my playlist
I love your voice! People aren't talking about it enough ❤
PINK AND GREEN GO WELL TOGETHER. Crying. Gorgeous as always, Reinaeiry, I love your "but it's gay" song series, hhhhhh.
Oh god this is so beautiful🥺
Hehe this is amazing cus I always sing the reprise as if I'm Fiyero. "There's a girl I know, she loves her so, I'm not that girl" and then gelphie sings As Long as You're Mine oh yeee
Omg you just killed me with the beauty of this 😍😍😍 you’re a queen! I used to listen to this song so much as a closeted gay teen. It means the world that you brought it back. Lots of love to you!!! And Thankyou!!!
The idea of you covering Maria from West Side Story won't leave my brain
it seems like an optimal addition to this series
i love the both of them together! i listen to "what is this feeling" all the time because it's so blissfully gay
I hope you know how happy this has made me. Thank you so much for this. 💙✨
