The vocals are different in the movie. Just wait till you actually watch it. You will understand! Trust.

Rhonda K. Craven

I've noticed that the movie version is often quite different from the soundtrack, and I usually prefer the former. Partly because I can see the context. But the orchestration and some phrasing choices are different in the movie, and for me, I am drawn more often than not to the viewed version.

I mean in the stage show Fiyero and Elphaba jump into a relationship but Jon M Chu wanted them to work through it like an emotional roller-coaster so by the end it was sexy but they still had to work on it. Cause technically u can't fall in love with someone u didn't know who liked u but Glinda did but thats her fault. But also Glinda is Elphaba friend and Elphaba has to work out the kinks cause dating someone else's fiance that was your best friend isn't right. Like Girl Code hello

Khaila Jackson

Audrey everyone has said my name wrong my whole life. Im about to be 30 and people still say it wrong. I need to change the spelling cause I dont correct anyone anymore I just be like im here lol but u said right the last 2 times. It's spelt like Khaila but sounds like Kila or Kyla. My mom got it from a person who played in the movie Losing Isaiah. She was the main character. Not her character name but the person who played her

Ronda Bennett

8:33 plus, they could have given Marissa more lessons. Ari learned to sing operatic and Cynthia learned to sing while flying! They filmed for 3 years... she and Michelle Yeoh (Madame Morrible) could have gotten more training.

Khaila Jackson

Popular wasn't shot with Girl in the Bubble. Popular was the first musical number and I think the next week they shot Girl in the bubble. But not on the same day. That be wicked lol sorry thats was bad. Someone tell me to stop now

Ronda Bennett

12:57 not a spoiler☺️ Keala Settle was the one who gave them the room assignments and was pushing Nessa's wheelchair in the first one. She was the bearded lady in The Greatest Showman. I agree... Complete missed opportunity there! It was weird to have her in the movie and not have her sing. She actually should have been Madame Morrible😆 But Jon M Chu hand picked Michelle Yeoh for the part. She didn't audition I don't think. There's an interview where Michelle talks about him asking her to be in it and she told him she couldn't sing but he wanted her anyway.

Savvy

I love you. You are soo sassy in this video and funny🤣

Khaila Jackson

It's longer cause there's a section where it was just music cause they were talking not singing

Khaila Jackson

Also Fiyeraba is a mash up of Glinda elphaba and Fiyero FYI lol I was confused to until I looked how it was spelt lol

Ronda Bennett

29:41 My theory is, on every other song Ari had the previous versions to build off of and just make them her own. For Girl in the Bubble, she didn't have a blueprint, so to speak, so she failed to "Galindify" (😄) it on her own. So it came off as Ariana Grande. Same with No Place Like Home sounding like Cynthia and not Elphaba.

Ronda Bennett

31:33 Wicked Witch of the East. Marissa/Nessa's song 💩

Ronda Bennett

34:01 she's not really on a ship lol I think that was just an analogy🤭 And yes, it's more of a "c'mon guys, just fight with me... plz" 😆 I honestly hated it in the movie, total snooze fest... but it's grown on me now on the soundtrack because of the lyrics. 🫣 Sorry for commenting so much... I'm watching this at 1:30am... 😅😅

Ronda Bennett

Oh... I thought it was just Fiyero and Elphaba

Khaila Jackson

Girl it is. I was using voice and my friend said glinda in the background and didn't notice it caught it lol sorry

SongsFromASuitcase

Holy shit! She would’ve made a fucking fantastic madam! Yes I agree totally missed opportunity

Daniel

I heard somewhere that apparently sheryl lee ralph who played madame morrible on broadway auditioned for the role. I never seen her performance but I know she would have been amazing

Daniel

I feel like I have to share this but when the soundtrack list first came out and I saw “no place like home” in between,“thank goodness” and “wicked witch of the east”, I thought the song would be a reflection of the iconic line from Dorothy. To Dorothy her home is her safe place, where she feels loved. With Elphaba it’s completely different. I thought this would be a more emotional song that would give you a twisted feeling as she makes her way to see her sister but with the context they choose it makes sense

Thank you for the for second reaction! You don't need to do a third reaction, but if you're curious the missing parts this is what I spot. In the first live the song cut at 0:27 (in the lyric video) on Glinda part (timestamp in the first live is 2:25:33) and 1:16 (in the lyric video) on Elphaba part (timestamp in the first live is 2:27:02). So the missing parts in the soundtrack it's 2:21 to 2:52 (timestamp 41:49 to 42:20 in this video) for Glinda and it's 3:44 to 4:13 (timestamp 44:10 to 44:38 in this video) for Elphaba.

Believe it or not Cynthia did not get a Critics Choice Awards nomination for Lead actress or her original song “No place like Home” Ari did though for supporting actress and her original song “Girl in the Bubble,. So Cynthia was robbed but I’m happy for Ari. Granted Act 2 is weaker than Act 1 and many of the critics did not like Wicked For Good but it was still an amazing movie both parts were amazing. My mom has never seen the musical or read the book but she loved Wicked and Wicked For Good, yes I do not like the whispering in rubs me the wrong way.

Rhonda K. Craven

Hey Audrey, I hear you about fixating on the vocal skills of those you react to since that is your thing! Still, I believe It's not fair to compare Marissa and Michelle with gifted folks who have regularly performed on stage and/or screen for years. They also participate in extensive and ongoing training. I just saw a video of an 8-year-old Ariana singing the National Anthem at a hockey game! Cynthia started taking her singing seriously when she was 11 but had been singing, according to her mother, since she was 18 months old. Michelle is a few years younger than me and never sang before. Marissa has a very short professional résumé that lists her as an actor, though she was in local theatre and musical productions. She just turned 25. They chose to focus on other areas of the arts, and even with more training, I don't think they will improve much because singing is not their priority. Michelle told Jon she couldn't sing and was puzzled why he asked her in the first place. It becomes easy to say the two were miscast in a musical when most others are experienced standouts. (Jeff Goldblum can't sing, either, but he is a lover of music and has led the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra for more than 30 years.) People kept saying that Keala Settle was wasted as Miss Coddle, and having seen The Greatest Showman, I now understand what they meant.

Rhonda K. Craven

If there is a third reaction, it would be to the movie version. Soundtracks get confusing when they keep some dialogue and not others. There are transitions without singing or dialogue, so they try to balance it out. Last year, I heard the soundtrack version of Defying Gravity before seeing the movie, so I expected the three "Unlimited" renderings to be close together. But the way the scenes were shot unnecessarily prolonged the climax - Morrible's speech did not have to be repeated in full, and those scenes could have been superimposed. I think it dampened the final impact of the ending.

Rhonda K. Craven

Yeah...I wasn't a fan of her delivery of that line (trying to keep it spoiler free.) The song had to grow on me as well - it has so much meaning in our world today!

Rhonda K. Craven

Okay...just to clarify. I have believed from the time they met that Fiyero and Elphaba (Fiyeraba) were meant to be together. She tried to blow him off but I also believe she was intrigued by him - he was probably the first person who didn't treat her differently because she was green. I've never been a Gelphie (Glinda and Elphaba) stan, though that could seem traitorous to my tribe. Folks who have read the books (I have not) seem so obsessed to have those two kiss, and last year's press tour with Ariana and Cynthia being all touchy feely and weepy made many believe they were together on the down low. I still contend that, in life and in the movies, they are platonic soulmates. I will admit, though, that the trailer version of the "...for both of us" fluttered my heart, but it's truly heartbreaking within the context of the film. Glinda was into Fiyero for status and appearance, and she was so obtuse at the train station about what was going on. People keep talking about Elphaba breaking the girl code. It was true when she told Glinda "It wasn't like that" because she was as surprised as anyone when Fiyero said what he said.

Ronda Bennett

I feel like the critics haven't seen the play. For Good serves Wicked part 1 just as Act Two serves Act One in the play if that makes sense. I saw the play on my birthday on Oct 1, so I could have a greater appreciation for what Jon did with the movie. I'm SO glad I did! It actually helped me appreciate For Good in relation to Part 1. I did have to see it twice to fully appreciate it tho. Cynthia actually said the same in an interview... She was like "ok, this is good..." the first time because she was trying to take everything in, but the 2nd time she was blown away and in tears. I was like... same girl, same. 😅

Ronda Bennett

Audrey, when you watch the movie live, it'll be for Superfans only, right? I'm gonna need to upgrade... Just changed my profile pic... Just in case you were wondering "who the hell is that?" 😄 I realized my old one was of me and my daughter like 10 years ago. 😅😅

Rhonda K. Craven

I so want to see the musical now that I have seen W: FG, but it's not playing in my area anytime soon. But I have watched several slime tutorials and noticed that the movie pretty much kept to the plot, though some dialogue was moved to other areas and characters added to scenes. I appreciate the second movie more each subsequent watch. This is probably an unpopular opinion that I am sharing here first. I believe Ariana out-acted Cynthia, so I am not surprised that this happened. Oh, Cynthia knocked it out of the park singing, as always, but I think her more subtle acting choices (with her expressive eyes and face) worked against her (and gave her haters more reasons to denigrate her). It seemed that Ariana had more opportunities to show her range.

Rhonda K. Craven

I appreciated how they decided to have Fiyero and Elphaba ease into their evening together. It had been five years since they'd seen each other, and Elphaba was as surprised as Glinda when Fiyero said he was going with her. Glinda was living in a fantasy world believing that Fiyero was in to her. She and the Wizard orchestrated the engagement, and you could see that Fiyero wasn't feeling it at all. Glinda believed that she had been betrayed. But she recognized that Fiyero was in love with Elphaba before they dragged him off, and she let Elphaba escape. The scene was awkward as hell because in real life, would you have come to that new understanding so quickly? The musical is rushed but could have been fleshed out better in the movie.

Khaila Jackson

Heyy I had to correct you on this but it's only been 1 year not 5. It's been 12 tide turns which equals one year.

musicalnerd8301

So what was cut in the shortened version of "For Good" was the literal chorus for both Ariana and Cynthia! From "Like a comet," to "hallfway through the wood" wasn't there, and "like a ship," to "in a distant wood" was sliced too. Which is BAFFLING to me cause why would a lyric video cut out the chorus and only keep the verses and bridge!

Rhonda K. Craven

I recently saw that Sheryl Lee Ralph wished she had been asked! Wonder why she didn't audition, since the process seemed to be open to anyone that wanted to try out?

Rhonda K. Craven

Yeah...I see that Winnie Holzman said that, but one year will never make sense to me. The cast interviews usually reference a longer, yet vague, passage of time. Jeff Goldblum said it was 4 1/2 years. People don't "grow up" and go through all those transformations in just a year. Folks say a lion cub wouldn't have grown that much in a year. Glinda says before the flashback in Wicked that "it was a long time ago" that her and Elphaba's paths crossed at school. Oz doesn't have an ocean, so how do tides exist? It is said that the books imply a longer time frame (2-3 years). I think it's deliberately left ambiguous, but a year ain't it for me.

Rhonda K. Craven

I think Elphaba's deleted scene would help tie the whole thing together better.

Rhonda K. Craven

But they were already trained singers that practiced their craft regularly and have for years. Marissa, as well as Michelle, can't say the same and apparently haven't shown a desire to add singing to their toolboxes. Michelle is a few years younger than me. Marissa is still young and could add that if she wants. She just pales in comparison when grouped with accomplished singers. Yes, more lessons may have helped some, but she was already starting from behind.

JustinCase Reacts

I honestly can't say that i agree. Fiyer (fiyero) +aba (Elphaba) is Fiyeraba. Where does Glinda fit in with that? Am I just missing something?

Khaila Jackson

Heyy i dont mean to sound rude but please go look at my other comments. I made a mistake and I corrected myself cause someone already corrected me
