Thanks for watching my video. I'm gathering all the songs I shot at this concert in a RUclips playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLwdc0qZNx0tYNXH8tZ4RfCTJGTmTMncBv. The songs (so far) are Do You Want To Build A Snowman (from Frozen), Let It Go (from Frozen), Twisted (Joni Mitchell song), Why (Annie Lennox cover), No Day But Today (from Rent), and Defying Gravity (from Wicked).. Enjoy!
@@Nazaba09she gave the audience the highest notes. I don’t think she gave them the most difficult parts. The most difficult part is the closed vowel “Me” on the “MEEE DOOOWWN” 3:29
The band is making things harder for her. (Too slow). Her spinning hand is trying to spin them to move faster, especially at those parts, like, "And you won't slow me down..." But she slows down as much as she can...
Okay I'm gonna be honest, I think Cynthia Erivo is super talented, but I'm not sure if she's vocally right to play Elphaba. I think she should've played Celie in "The Color Purple" movie musical instead of Fantasia. I know Idina Menzel is 52, but I think she should've played Elphaba in the movie and use makeup and visual effects to de-age her like Sigourney Weaver in "Avatar: The Way of Water". I also think it all should be one movie instead of two and a couple of other castings I'm not sure about like Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey and Michelle Yeoh, I would've used Amanda Seyfried, Aaron Tveit and Meryl Streep for those roles, but that's my opinion to please be respectful.
Amanda seyfried cannot hit the notes Ariana can nor can she hold them out, she is an actress not a singer Ariana is good for Glinda but maybe Meryl Streep for madam morrible could have been really good because she did an amazing job as the witch in into the woods
Respectable opinion, but the fact is that you don't always get what you want lol; and the way Chu operated with this project, was probably the best thing to ever happen since the last director left in 2016. It's time for Idina to rest, but she'll always be the mother!!
You have to be kidding right? Are you aware that Elphaba represents people of Marginalized Communities? She is literally discriminated against because of the Color of her skin. Madame Morrible and The Wizard of Oz, 2 people who she thought were on her side, Literally sent people to capture her because she didn't want to do their dirty work. Cynthia is Perfect for the role of Elphaba. Ariana and Jonathan have Musical Theater backgrounds. Jonathan has an Olivier Award for playing Jaimie in the Genderbent West End Revival of Company. Ariana started on Broadway in 13. Michelle Yeoh is an Academy Award Winning Actress. She may not have a Musical Theater background but she is a Phenomenal Actress.
I hear your concerns and I think time will tell when the movie arrives. Despite what Broadway fans are saying, the response to Wicked has been lukewarm at best and I think it's because it feels like a movie that's 10 years too late. I think Erivo is genius casting but Grande's only acting fame is Disney channel and Hairspray live--neither of which demonstrate the range to play Glinda; which is a harder role than most people think. I think more people like us are in the camp of tentative optimism because musical movies are 50/50. We could be getting Greatest Showman or another Chicago if we're lucky.... or it's another Les Mis or Cats.
Nahh .. she is not that great people. I can see that she is struggling with the last high note. Willemijn Verkaik sings this song every single time so pure and strong. She is the best Elphaba of all !! 💚
She in all honesty turned out to be one of the weakest Elphabas ever. The girls who went on after here totally raised the bar and had way more finesse and technique.
ive never watched wicked and i don't plan to because the show is just not my vibe. ive never thought highly of idina's singing abilities, but i am charmed by her acting.
In terms of vocals , yeah , she was inconsistent, but in terms of acting, she was much better than most of the Elphabas after her , with a few exceptions

I went to see her last week in LA and I couldn’t even hear the her over the cheering and screaming go Idina BRAVO!
What a treat! Gosh we are so lucky and blessed to still see and hear this woman sing this song!
That was really awesome performance of Idina Menzel singing Defying Gravity from Wicked the broadway show!
Missed her this tour due to illness. Saw her couple of years ago and she is amazing.
it was the most amazing show, and every moment was amazing

See you Friday!
When you're getting in2 your night clothes after a long hard day, but had a call bcos you forgot to be somewhere 😂
I'm soooo excited.... am driving 5hours to see her in Pittsburgh.....all just to hear THIS ONE SONG !
Did you record more? 🥹🥹
Yep! I got about 7 or 8 more songs. I was planning to post No Day But Today next but I'm flexible.
I was there. Did you happen to get the little redwood song? i can't find it anywhere.
Sorry, I got "Great Escape" from Redwood but not "Little Redwood." 🙁
I did not know she she was one of the original cast of the wicked musical until 2023
She was THE Elpheba, and I love her so much!!
She was THE Elphaba, and I love her so much!!
@@amidoshi1909 I know she was a great actor in wicked
The band is making things harder for her. (Too slow). Her spinning hand is trying to spin them to move faster, especially at those parts, like, "And you won't slow me down..." But she slows down as much as she can...
no you sing it!
Is she sad?

Cynthia Erivo can outsing any human being on this planet - she's so good she sounds like an alien!

Wicked movie is super wrong casted.
The first time I heard Idina Menzel s voice was in frozen

Who asked you? Stop being a hater!
It's not just about technique, nor even sound. Broadway is about ✨character✨ and communication of meaning (multidimensionally)
She in all honesty turned out to be one of the weakest Elphabas ever. The girls who went on after here totally raised the bar and had way more finesse and technique.
but she set the bar...

We'll agree to disagree.
