Who Sang The "No Good Deed" Climax The Best?

[@MisterGolightly]

Do you prefer the again part to be sung higher ("AgAAAAAAAAinnn") or just flat «not used in terms of pitch» ("Agaaaaaaain")

[@14444shawn]

Mister Golightly donna vivino was the best for me but I don't see her on the list

[@zoejost1224]

The latter for me. :)

[@iAmMadeOfSoup]

I prefer the higher. Plus I can hold the note easier when I do aAAAGAAAAAIIIIINNNN

[@MisterGolightly]

Pearl the rebel true!

[@--_--ph8rf]

I prefer the AAAAAAAAAgAAAAAIINNNNN if that makes sense lol like the riff at the beginning and the middle like Alice fearn did

[@julianbrown9860]

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT SHOSHANA her little “again ever again” was AMAZING

All three of them rotate thru similar things

Eden and Idina both played Elphie and Maureen in Rent, and even Idina and Caissie Levy both played Elsa, Elphie, and sang I Dreamed A Dream- Idina on Glee, Caissie as Fantine in Les Mis

Damn, there is no way I could pick between all these talented women. Out of the women in this video, the ones I have seen live are Kerry, Rachel, Willemijn and Alice, and all of them were amazing. Also, Danna Paola has so much vocal power, especially considering she was just eighteen years old when she was cast as Elphaba in the Mexican production of Wicked.

[@azariaoglesby3148]

I gotta say, the riff shoshana did on ever again was pretty amazing

[@PedroHenrique-lo3fv]

Myra Ruiz 💚 that higher note in "agaaaaaain"

[@ashleyramillano1094]

Pedro Henrique ok a E shape is pretty to hit if you know what how to breath; but finding and holding lower fuller notes is technically mastering your craft. And finding a vowel you can rock with helps as well to open you up to go higher. Sure Myra 5 E shape is cool listen to the rest of her words in comparison

[@josephcarlisle1943]

1. Stephanie J Block 2. Lindsay Mendez 3. Eden Espinosa 4. Ock Joo-Hyun 5. Jessica Vosk

[@Bee..]

I got to see Jessica Vosk perform in wicked live... it was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever experienced, and I believe her voice is part of why that particular song is one of my favorites

[@JoshuaRWorkman]

While Idina Menzel is my favorite Elphaba, Jessica Vosk's No Good Deed is my favorite.

[@malcolmmoran7873]

[@broadwaymike92]

Always love Eden's "Let All of Oz Be Agreed, I'm WICKED...". The was she delivers that line, she sounds so much like Margret Hamilton with that very evil and witchy-ness to it. I get chills from it everytime I hear it.

[@marielacv9897]

Danna Paola

[@alexanderville335]

Actually, she has the ending for "No good deed" she does riffs but this performance wasn't that good. Look for other videos of her. She was amazing.

[@lautarogonzales470]

that's because this performance wasnt for the public, was for the media basically. If u watch her other performances she slayed it

[@seanprstn9232]

The Best Five: 1) Shoshanna Bean, 2)Kerry Ellis, 3)Och Joo-Kyun, 4) Jessica Vosk and 5)Jennifer Dinoia. Honorable Mention: Eden Espinosa

[@goodyougetastar]

Then she went from Elphaba to another Idina Menzel role and played Elsa. I'm so lucky I got to witness both performances she is amazing

[@victordunson719]

I love when they bite off that last note almost with a scream like Shoshanna Bean.

[@jooticus5884]

There's one video of Eden performing this song, the one where her legendary "Fiyero" riff came from, where she absolutely demolishes the climax of this song. Sadly the video has been taken down because of copyright claims, so we may never be able to bask in her moment of heavenly ascension again.

What’s very interesting about this is that Idina Menzel was not a powerhouse blaster with her voice. This role pushed her voice to new limits and probably why she changed her technique later on. Block is what the song was designed for.

For me Willemijn is the beat Elphaba ever and I love her "no good deed" 💚💚

[@roisingrant]

Jessica Vosk, Myra Ruiz and Willemijn Verkaik are my favourites, for individual reasons. I love how dramatically (but securely) Jessica hits the "again, ever again" and the last note or two as well. I love Myra Ruiz's intense and agile riffing, she pulls it off really well. I love Willemijn because she's my favourite Elphie so I have to admit some bias, but she performs the whole song so intensely and makes it feel darker than other performers, probably because of her slightly deeper timbre. She has the most unbelievable breath control. Though I feel Emma Hatton and Kerry Ellis each deserve an honourable mention.

[@michaelahouston8721]

This is really awesome! I love all the different vocal styles... Great job!

[@JacobMatthewss]

Jessica Vosk’s Elphaba is growing on me. Her voice is so clear and she has such great control! One of the best

[@oliver297]

Reminder that all of these women are amazing and while some may be better than others, they all have extremely good voices, and they're obviously on Broadway for a reason. Don't ignore that they all have their own individual strengths/weaknesses, and recognize that they are all ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE performers.

It's 2019, and there has been one black Elphie and NO black Glinda. Wicked has been playing for 11 years almost, and there's obviously been a shit ton of Elphie's and Glinda's because the show is so vocally demanding. I hope this clears anything up xoxoxo
