Kristin Chenoweth and Sarah Horn, For Good-Three Camera

I couldn't resist making a new edited version including a third original video of the event. You'll see some details that weren't clear before because of Karolina's excellent video. The new video is a little shaky, but the color/video quality are worth it. Enjoy!

I was nervous right up until the moment Kristin took my arm. Then all my nerves faded away and I was living a dream!

[@SamSanders072764]

Sarah Horn That moment when the ORCHESTRA applauds you.🎵🎶🎹🎻👏

[@tonette11000]

I never tire of watching you shine. Love you!

[@ericholck3914]

Seriously, this never gets old. I’ve probably watched it 100 times and it’s pure magic each and every time. Bravo!

[@PegRekab]

@@ericholck3914 me too!

[@kaleimaile]

Awesome performance!

[@sarahhorn3534]

I'm just a voice teacher from Riverside that Kristin randomly selected to sing with her. :)

[@JurgenADV]

Not "just" -- a very talented woman

[@shelleyholder324]

Sarah Horn , just seeing this video, you made me cry all over again. That’s one of my very favorite songs. I’m in tears. Well done

[@shockmesane4158]

6 years late but you knocked it out of the park. Wish you the all the best that life has to offer

[@robertmoore8545]

Wow. You are incredible. I live in Broken Arrow, where Kristin is from, and have had the unbelievable pleasure of meeting her. Of course she is an amazing, funny, humble and beautiful woman. It was such a treasure watching this magic you two created together. Thank you for your gift, and for sharing it with the world.

[@tomliemohn624]

You clearly met the task! Very nice indeed.

[@Crossley8524]

One of the most impressive things about Sarah’s performance is that it’s not just a copy of Idina’s. Sarah makes unique vocal choices and really elevates the song. A true artist.

[@donjuniortrump2506]

Because i knew you

[@gjm1953]

"That voice is teaching our young people." Doesn't that tell you all you need to know about Kristen Chenoweth? She knows that Ms. Horn not only proved herself to be a wonderful singer, quite worthy of sharing the stage with a Broadway legend, but she also shares her talents with her students.

[@IlaughedIcried]

Not only that, but Sarah's voice is evidence that she must be a fantastic voice teacher. Her volume and high notes seem effortless, her range is awesome, and that floated "because I knew you" at the end is so light, so graceful, it makes me cry. In a set of years where rock and pop legends regularly lose their voices because of misuse, this woman must be teaching kids how NOT to do so. (I love this video so much. Must have watched it 40 or 50 times!)

[@califbrett]

Thanks for that edit. I was lucky enough to be in the audience that night and that performance was absolutely electric. The moment Sarah began to sing, the crowd went crazy. I also love how you can see the violinists applauding at the end by shaking their bows. The Hollywood Bowl was a class act and invited Sarah to come back a few weeks later to host an a cappella singing competition and to sing a few songs prior to an ABBA tribute concert. They even put her name on the marquee. For a random pick from the audience, she came prepared and am so glad she was able to shine.

[@OriginalPappy]

When the conductor turns around and applauded, you nailed it

[@scottgessford7878]

Ding, ding, ding!

[@roykliffen9674]

How good is Sarah Horn? Well look at Kristin at 3:40 ... no thought whatsoever left of needing to "babysit" an amateur during this performance, but completely confident to direct her attention fully to her own stage performance. That's instant trust, which even between professionals needs to grow during rehearsals.

[@christinechen2732]

I've watched this video a few million times -- it will never get old. Did anyone else notice the conductor's reaction when Sarah started singing? He turned to watch! And when Kristen says, "Sing it, sing it," he also nods in agreement. Adorable.

[@enlightenmeonly]

+Christine Chen just rewatched it and watched the conductor! This is always one of my favorite videos because it shows talent really is everywhere, not just in the millions.

[@mrdrewcarey]

Same here. It just never gets old.

[@jamesbarrywalden]

Christine Chen - You have QUITE THE EYE for the SUBLIME :-) ! Do you happen to know Edmund Burke? What is your Pup's name Christine?

[@MollyInanna]

Completely. Wonderful moment -- it's totally a "holy s**t!" reaction from him.

[@burtihal]

I was there!!!!! I'll never forget it! I'm a singer, but I would have not had the poise and presence Sarah had. She just nailed it! Kristen was amazing and so genuine. A highlight , for sure!!!!!

[@ovrobinson]

For the past 6 years I've come back time and time again to watch this video...it's magical and always brings a tear to my eye xx

[@sm1else]

"Holy Crap, harmony!" This is not my genre of music but I love me some Kristen Chenoweth. This is why. And way to go, Sarah Horn!

[@cgaskill13]

When she said, “Holy crap. Harmony,” every soprano understood.

[@lizlee6290]

Every once in a while I go on a Chenoweth binge here on youtube. Somehow I missed this one until tonight, and holy wow! So wonderful it makes my cry, just as others have said. Now have to watch it again!

[@jimmyb.6102]

Kristen said this was her favorite duet she's ever done

[@theartstraveler3162]

And it should be.

[@frederalbacon]

Makes sense. She had a vocal pro with her, she actually got to enjoy the performance instead of worrying about her partner's ability.

[@danish2201]

@@frederalbaconidina??

[@frederalbacon]

@@danish2201 I guarantee she's not talking about when she's performed with her actual cast, I think the "duet" part of her favorite duet part refers to this format, since she does this at her concerts frequently. This is the favorite time she's done this.

[@MuscleDaddyCMH]

Here's what is going through the conductor's head within three notes: "Thank god, I can go with this and do it right and not worry and let go!". Because any of us in the business can tell within three notes whether or not it's for real or scary.

[@maddiefosset1121]

Say what you will, Sarah got on stage with a Tony winning incredible voice and she did more than just hold her own, she was Kristin's equal up there. There are not too many voices who could do that. I just love the way their voices blend.

[@shelleyholder324]

C.M. Lein there are many voices that could do the same, they just aren’t noticed or discovered.

[@mindya1799]

To quote Kristin "Holy crap harmony!"

[@scotthoward9810]

Shelley Holder No way. 99% of people would choke up there in front of thousands in those circumstances. They’d forget words or sing off key. She knocked it out of the park.

[@sovak75]

She’s a voice teacher. She’s probably sung in front of large audiences before, and his used to singing with other people. The key to singing a good duet is listening to your partner, and she literally does that every day with her students.

[@Popeii1]

What I will say is, did you notice Ms. Chenoweth supporting her all the way and together they made ART.

[@seamus1956]

I've watched this over and over, and while Sarah was spectacular and the duet terrific, the thing that impressed me the most was the look of pure joy on Kristen's face during Sarah's solo. What a memorable moment - for BOTH of them!

[@jjcevering9411]

seamus1956 that voice is teaching our young people!!!

[@staceypendergrast2400]

I agree 100% she looked like she was completely enjoying sharing the stage with such a talented singer as Sarah. I love this video so much. I cry every time I watch it. Completely unrehearsed but you can see how the love for music these two women share brings two strangers together and bonds them to each other if only for a few minutes. It’s truly magical.

[@gekizai]

Another detail I just noticed: At about 3:45 at the left of the screen you get a glimpse of a lady that appears to be principal violinist and she is just beaming at the proceedings. This really was a magic few minutes. :)

[@thertraumatic]

I cry every time I watch this. And I watch this a lot.

[@clarissarichardson9114]

I am in Maui not NYC tonight for a show that I really love (annual thing) And I just watched it. Tears , yet again.

[@OriginalPappy]

Ditto

[@tedsler]

Love it when the conductor turns around just after she starts singing :D

[@cheesypoofs1703]

I wish we could see his face, he and KC looking at each other!!!

[@katrinalee2148]

I just Love the conductor's reaction when Sara starts to sing, AND, when Kristin says ,"oh sing it", and he shakes his head up and down yes, in concurrence. This whole encounter was magical. Still a treat almost a decade later.

[@dpsulliv]

The way Kristin pulls her in at the end of the song to hug her and show her such love is what makes me cry every time.

[@LunaDewdrops]

I still love the conductor's reaction when she starts to sing.... priceless. Amazing! :)

[@scottgessford7878]

This is lovely. It’s a joy. But here’s what I don’t think people get. Sarah was sorta picked surprisingly to do this. She killed it, and there’s a reason why. If you know music well, it’s obvious Sarah trained for years to be this darned good. She might have caught off guard, but the reason she shined so brilliantly in the moment is because of the training behind her. She earned the heck out of this because of the years of work she put into it. Sarah kills this. Watch her Ted Talk about it. She’s brilliant. Sarah Horn stan!!! Xoxoxo

[@docfrog7772]

HOLY CRAP!! HARMONY!!!

[@chiro792222]

I love how at 2:18 even the conductor turns around to see who's singing!

[@1and0nlyy3]

She was my old singing couch for theater

[@cheesypoofs1703]

I watch this at LEAST once a week, and between Horn's joy and talent and Chenotweth's generosity and sincerity, I am floored consistently.

[@gcmacyman]

You sang absolutely beautifully Sarah but dang she sure YANKED your arm right at the end of that note ! lol

[@dmok42195]

Kristin Chenoweth is such a super nice person. She is so positive and speaks from the bottom of her heart.

[@artsychia]

The most incredible thing to me is that THEY DID NOT REHEARSE at all!! And Sarah didn't even warm-up nor prepare for it!!!!

[@lewiskirk3125]

still one of the most magical videos on YT

[@Ahnleshak]

Brings tears to my eyes EVERY.... SINGLE... TIME. And I'm a tough guy.

[@Manchildalorian]

When she pulls her into that hug... The feels...

[@HamCubes]

Sarah's breathing is great, which is exceptional considering the circumstances.

[@cuchelo1]

I don't know how many times I've watched this, and it never fails to put a smile on my face. Simply wonderful.

[@dcmc7383]

I always watch this when I need a little pick-me-up...a reminder than the lovely unexpected can happen to any of us at any time.

[@cuchelo1]

DC Mc Thanks for the note- and for bringing me back to watch this again!!! :)

[@maureensilvola9454]

Sarah was my son’s friend in high school. A lovely, kind girl to him and she deserves the accolades for this and all that she achieves now and forever.😮

[@johnwohlwend4315]

Love this video! I actually met Sarah 2 years ago on New Years Eve at a Kristin Chenoweth concert in Las Vegas. She was so sweet, I recognized her immediately and said hello and told her how great her performance was.

[@ChrisBridges23]

Every year or so for over a decade I come back to this, and I was just reminded again by the Wicked trailer. Never fails to make me happy and cry at the same time.

[@PauloRezendeBordados]

this is by far my favorite video on youtube

[@strangastrange]

I love how Kristin reacts to the girl singing. "Well bless my soul! This peasant has vocal chords!"

[@tankmaster1018]

Haha. At 2:22 Kristin looks at the composer like "WTF" and the conductor looks back like "I KNOW!" And then when she says "Oh Sing It" at 2:28 the conductor turns around and nods in agreement

[@cheesypoofs1703]

Tears every time.

[@1MahaDas]

The "composer" is not the "conductor! They are two different things!

And because you knew Kristin, your life has been changed for good! Congratulations to Sarah Horn on turning this opportunity into continuing success and God Bless Kristen for giving people a chance to be heard!

Sarah...As beautiful as this song is, you took it to a new level, surprising everyone with your talent. Thank you for celebrating the human voice.

[@tedstiles6831]

I think one of the best parts of this is the honesty. True connection. Not to mention the talent. It’s just spontaneous magic. It’s not the “Chenowith channel.” It’s about experience. In the moment. Beautiful.

[@Marshmop]

Great edit! It really helps smooth things out for the viewer. Sarah, You helped bring a magical moment not only for the audience but for Kristen and the performers on stage. When they bring an audience member up to do a duet, they (the performers) are a little uncertain about what will happen so the performers dial it back a little to avoid a potential disaster. Your presence made it possible for all of them to step it up and bring out their best. The audience took away a great moment!

I come back to this every once in a while, and I am so overjoyed at this young person's dream (of singing with KC) coming true, but more importantly, the beauty of her voice for this very specific duet. The people thinking of casting the film version of Wicked could do no worse having her 'dub' Elpheba's voice- it would be wonderful to actually hear 'Defying Gravity' SUNG, rather than shouted. Brava, KC. BRAVISSIMA, Ms. Horn.
