    I’ve been doing the rounds of various amazing performances of this song. Jordin Sparks makes me cry fastest, Alison Luff is so beautifully angry, Katherine McPhee is gorgeously introspective, but this. Shoshana seems to have captured so much. There’s the deep, bitter regret, the self-reflection, the frustration & more fear about the future than anyone else I’ve heard. Wow.

    She builds the song masterfully... that's a kinda genius. And the voice is a marvel of color and control...the riffs are used judiciously and to great effect. And then there's the deep loneliness of a woman who feels hollow and desensitized and just wants to be herself again. It's a heartbreaking performance.

    We must remember Shoshana Bean IS 100% the reason why WICKED producers believed that the show was bigger than Idina Menzel. This is the same girl that led sold out shows on a regular basis with her voice when she was a virtual nobody. She was carving herself out a lane to be a legend until Tyler's death. He challenged her to be bigger, be better, and believe she's enough. His death taught her a reality she was just doing a job living in NYC . This performance just shows all of Tyler's lessons coming to fruition. The power of Love ❤❤❤

    This is level of performance only comes from years of experience--not only as a professional singer but from personal experience as well. She delivers the song/story with a great deal of wisdom and I think this is what differentiates her performance from other singers' performances. Those little pauses she does is very effective in evoking the idea of the wisdom and introspection.
    This is by far my favorite interpretation of this song!!!!

    I can't tell you how many times I come back to listen to this. No other singer compares. She just grabs you by the soul and takes you to a place where all the feelings are finally safe to be felt. No matter what else is happening around you, it melts away into the background. You cannot help to be anything other than ultimately present and vulnerable. Bravo!

    My family saw her three days ago. It's no exaggeration that she managed to shatter the entire Sunday matinee audience. Everyone was crying and it felt absolutely amazing. She put so much energy that when she finished the audience needed a strong 30 seconds of clapping and sobbing before she could continue.

    It's not simple to say
    That most days I don't recognize me
    That these shoes and this apron
    That place and its patrons
    Have taken more than I gave them
    It's not easy to know
    I'm not anything like I used be, although it's true
    I was never attention's sweet center
    I still remember that girl
    She's imperfect, but she tries
    She is good, but she lies
    She is hard on herself
    She is broken and won't ask for help
    She is messy, but she's kind
    She is lonely most of the time
    She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
    She is gone, but she used to be mine
    It's not what I asked for
    Sometimes life just slips in through a back door
    And carves out a person and makes you believe it's all true
    And now I've got you
    And you're not what I asked for
    If I'm honest, I know I would give it all back
    For a chance to start over and rewrite an ending or two
    For the girl that I knew
    Who'll be reckless, just enough
    Who'll get hurt, but who learns how to toughen up
    When she's bruised and gets used by a man who can't love
    And then she'll get stuck
    And be scared of the life that's inside her
    Growing stronger each day 'til it finally reminds her
    To fight just a little, to bring back the fire in her eyes
    That's been gone, but used to be mine
    Used to be mine
    She is messy, but she's kind
    She is lonely most of the time
    She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie
    She is gone, but she used to be mine

    This is such a powerful song that it can overwhelm the singer and take both the performer and the audience places. This version, in contrast, I feel that the singer is in perfect control of how she tells the story, even as she belts it out towards the end. I loved how she was holding back at the beginning, letting the dramatic tension build up, and build up, and how she made sure to have enough left to raise it up a notch at the right places in the end.

    i recently watched the show on broadway, and i am so grateful i was able to see shoshana as jenna. in my opinion, her and jesse are my top jennas. shoshana at least broke down twice in this song, which i am so blessed to have witness. to witness an actor to be vulnerable while performing their art, and really let go, is truly amazing. the pain in her voice and the struggle to finish the song hit me. it was amazing bc she was choking up in words, and then suddenly pulls out a magnificent belt to end the song. i just can’t help but point out the times she has broken down during the emotional parts of the show (which is AMAZING) bc it shows how devoted she is to the character, and how much of a beautiful artist she is. she really engages the audience, and really connects with us. #iloveshoshana4ever💜
