    Arielle would make SUCH a perfect Rapunzel if they ever made Tangled an official Broadway musical. She's so expressive and her voice is so sweet.

    I’m so used to thinking of her as Nessa. THIS IS AMAZING!♥️

    She brings the amount of geek energy this song requires.

    One of my favourite songs from Wicked. Her voice is incredible!

    Oh wow. Is there nothing Arielle cannot sing? This is absolutely amazing. Loved the "melt" riff and the final "I" riff.
    Question: How and why has Arielle not played the role of Elphaba yet?!

      @chrisroderosvlogsroderos267 6 лет назад +14

      She’s apparently auditioned for the role previously then the producers felt she would be better as Nessa. In time I for sure think she will play the role 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    • @musicatheatrefan

      ChrisRoderosVlogs Roderos Perhaps. I think Arielle would be brilliant as Elphaba. I loved her as Nessa though

    • @theabrasileno1921
      @theabrasileno1921 6 лет назад +16

      I think it's because of her voice. Her voice suits Nessa since the actress who sang Nessa has the same voice texture? as Arielle. But I also think her range would have some difficulty with Elphaba's notes. Idina started it so high thus producers, I think,wanted somebody with more or less the same range as Idina's.

    When I meet the Wizard
    Once I prove my worth
    And then I meet the Wizard
    What I've waited for since: since birth!
    And with all his Wizard wisdom
    By my looks, he won't be blinded
    Do you think the Wizard is dumb?
    Or, like Munchkins, so small-minded? No!
    He'll say to me,
    "I see who you truly are - A girl on whom I can rely!"
    And that's how we'll begin
    The Wizard and I
    Once I'm with the Wizard
    My whole life will change
    'Cause once you're with the Wizard
    No one thinks you're strange!
    No father is not proud of you
    No sister acts ashamed
    And all of Oz has to love you
    When by the Wizard you're acclaimed
    And this gift - or this curse
    I have inside
    Maybe at last, I'll know why
    When we are hand in hand
    The Wizard and I!
    And one day, he'll say to me, "Elphaba
    A girl who is so superior
    Shouldn't a girl who's so good inside
    Have a matching exterior?
    And since folks here to an absurd degree
    Seem fixated on your verdigris
    Would it be all right by you
    If I de-greenify you..."
    And though of courseThat's not important to me
    "All right, why not?" I'll reply
    Oh, what a pair we'll be
    The Wizard and I
    Yes, what a pair we'll be
    The Wizard and
    Unlimited
    My future is unlimited
    And I've just had a vision
    Almost like a prophecy
    I know - it sounds truly crazy
    And true, the vision's hazy
    But I swear, someday there'll be
    A celebration throughout Oz
    That's all to do with me!
    And I'll stand there with the Wizard
    Feeling things I've never felt
    And though I'd never show it
    I'll be so happy, I could melt!
    And so it will be
    For the rest of my life
    And I'll want nothing else
    'Till I die
    Held in such high esteem
    When people see me, they will scream
    For half of Oz's favourite team
    The Wizard
    And I!

    Three people are like "Idina is the queen, no one can sing this better than she can"... and I'm like- Yeah, Idina may be a queen, but that makes Arielle an Empress... lol

    • @TabrisFruLar
      @TabrisFruLar 6 лет назад +2

      Mrmattlansbury oh please.
      Idina is the weakest Elphaba of them all.
      Extremely overrated. And not half as good as Arielle.
      Or any other Elphaba ever

    Did that really just happen?
    Have I actually understood?
    This weird quirk I've tried to suppress or hide
    Is a talent that could help me meet the Wizard
    If I make good
    So I'll make good
    When I meet the Wizard
    Once I prove my worth
    And then I meet the Wizard
    What I've waited for since, since birth
    And with all his Wizard wisdom
