Vocal coach reacts to ARIANA GRANDE singing "The Wizard and I" from WICKED

[@CassMartinez]

i love how much fun she’s clearly having performing this song

[@maddiekinbaddiekin7474]

ikkk she’s such a diva

[@ProfessorSassypants]

She’s got a huge soft spot for musical theatre. She does it so well too

[@blackberryhoney6248]

I've always felt like Ariana Grande leaned a little into her old Broadway training for this one, and it seems like she had a lot of fun! She was on the OBC of Thirteen if I remember correctly. I don't love Ariana Grande as a whole, but I was super impressed when I heard this, even if it went a little more pop-song than I was used to for this song.

[@katburgess5926]

Yeah, both her and Liz Gillies were in the OBC.

she could not stop smiling. she was going through a lot at the time, but she didn’t let it stop her from doing this

[@broadwaybrook2319]

And if I'm not mistaken, she's a fan of "Wicked"

[@devanrionaldo]

@@broadwaybrook2319 oh indeed she is. She is a HUGE Wicked fan. She even played glinda in the upcoming wicked movie. Its her dream role basically. The movie will be splitted into two movie. The first one will be released in December 2024

Going back to her roots really brings it out in her!

[@gabsjr]

@@888pil but still a very bad enunciation compared to her old redintion of this song

[@cannotthinkofausername6379]

You can clearly see her love for Wicked shine through in this performance and how she has been singing these songs since her childhood. I mean Ariana as a kid visited Kristen Chenoweth backstage at Wicked back when she was originating the role of Glinda and even gave Ariana one of her wands!

[@arikiaei5145]

and a bar of soap lol

[@TDW8964]

I love her singing Zero To Hero from Hercules at a Disney World Event...she is wonderful in that!

[@chinbi18]

Yes Omg that was so beautiful!

[@winter5866]

I’m not really an Arianna fan but I ADORE this performance.

[@Hey_Jamie]

All her broadway performances are fun. There’s an old vid of her and Liz Gillies singing Will You Light My Candle from Rent and it is so good and so cute. I adore hem together

[@hello.3471]

U just cant not like her a fan or not u must admit she is talented

[@amyclarke6176]

maybe its just me but i can never tell what words she's singing in her pop songs - it just songs like notes not words ( but she is talented for sure -she hits all those notes) - but when she sings more broadway her diction is clearer and i actually enjoy listening to it - i hadn't seen this performance before and was pleasantly surprised with how broadway and how well enunciated it was - particularly in the first half

[@siriuslykookie4835]

Amy Clarke Yes, that’s because the loose diction thing is a style choice. In her pop music she chooses that style, but from her broadway performances we clearly see that she can enunciate. But also, these days she’s been enunciating more even in her pop songs

[@gracetaylorsversion3815]

Helloo Im A CUP!! I do agree with you. I think her voice is great,but her as a person,she is just kinda annoying.

[@ashlynn1376]

I love Arian Grande and theater. I love how it looks like she is having so much fun with it.

[@Hey_Jamie]

I’m sure it’s been mentioned in comments already but what makes this even more insane, is she and Pete had just broken up like, a day or couple days prior. And Mac had passed not long before. She was going THROUGH it at this time. She has the band aid on her finger covering her Pete tattoo. No clue how she pulled this off.

[@JuneStay]

I love her makeup here too! I could never rock green lipstick this well! 🙌🏽😍😂 I like Ariana’s version and how she made it her own without it being too far from musical theatre! She’s got such a great voice! Xx

[@inkeriananas]

100% agree! And the way she was so clearly enjoying herself and not overthinking it. I love this performance so much.

[@JuneStay]

emmainkeri yeah I completely agree with you! She was having the best time on stage singing that song and her connection with the audience was so great to see too! She’s so lovely! ☺️🙏🏽 xx

[@andreamteo]

"i kinda like it.... i like it.... i love it" HAHAHA same !!!!!! this is such a good performance. her expression, her pure happiness singing this song, her performance... it's amazing. one of my favourite performances by her

[@jeremygarcia4990]

“Who looks good in green lipstick?” Sis Glozell😂✨✨

[@DScritchy]

I love this performance from her because she’s performing to a room of Wicked fans, not necessarily Ariana fans (though I’m sure plenty love her). The audience is having fun listening and she’s having a blast singing it... and they’re enjoying it together. It’s just a really cool dynamic.

[@chungleandthebims167]

Every time I hear this song I get chills. You can just hear the _love_ she has for this song and everything she's doing. It's absolutely beautiful.

[@ienitatnemra1333]

It literally makes me so fucking happy knowing one of my favorite vocalists loves musical theater and has a background in it. It's always wonderful to hear her cover theater songs, like she couldnt be any cooler. Lol

[@Dangansona]

I was there in person, about 5 feet away. Quite a few performers had to do their performances twice (Idina & Kristen included) and Ariana, 1 and done. Absolutely flawless. Seeing Ariana at the absolute peak of her fame and Idina & Kristen sing Wicked songs all night? best night ever.

[@karizmagillespie]

LUCKY ASFKKKK and the peak of her fame? That made me laugh😭

[@kenzie_rae]

THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT ONE OF HER BEST PERFORMANCES

[@j.r.cilliangreen4083]

There is a great analysis of this song that shows how this song changed musical theatre forever…also may be Stephen Schwartz’s best musical theatre song he every has written…including that when he writes “Unlimited” it is a modulated sound of the opening of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” first notes…genius song writing…

[@edeeyx9185]

This performance always makes me tear up because she just looked sooo happy and after the year she had, she deserved to be happy!!

[@JordanJSparks]

yesss I love that she was enjoying the audience feedback and you could feel the joy on her face. Makes me cry lol

[@Lifeonasofa]

I LOVEEEE this performance from Ariana, a gorgeous balance of her style and wicked as we know it. I often find myself singing this version in the shower now, its just so pretty!

[@alexandrasedell9407]

i get chills every time i hear her sing this, its just amazing

[@inkeriananas]

It's hard not to smile while watching this performance, it's so magical!

[@clairesolis7347]

3:56 Her "Cat voice" showed up 😁

[@coleashlynn]

you can tell she's just having the time of her life singing this

[@ladyofways]

She sounds so amazing and she is amazing. Although I wouldn’t cast her for Elphaba like many want her to be, I would probably cast her as Glinda just because she has a lighter voice and is and Elphaba is an alto. Again this is just my opinion

[@rebekahsegun8319]

Elphaba is primarily a mezzo role, rather, but you're right that Ariana's voice is more suited for Glinda than Elphaba.

[@inasianagessar5922]

And now it was just announced that she’s going to play Glinda in the wicked movie👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@gretap.7390]

All of your videos radiate such pure positivity! I have never been upset with one. You are always able to use constructive criticism without any hatred. You are able to acknowledge stylistic choices while still giving completely relevant and sound technical advice. I look forward to every one.

[@MrGreenwald]

She is a wonderful actress as well and it really shows when she’s singing this show tune

[@trevorbye8558]

I. LOVE. ARIANA. I am a theater kid through and through; and as an already-Ariana fan, I love watching her revert back to her theater kid origins: She's so good and you can tell she's really enjoying herself! And the crowd! The crowd full of enthusiasm and mutual love for the art is just so powerful! Makes the performance that much more amazing! INSTANT subscribe, love your content!!!

[@JustaLittleBitRandom]

I think this might be one of my favourite Ariana performances because you can tell just how much fun she is having on that stage 😍

[@RebecaBob]

I love how you break things down and just genuinely love singers and singing! Your vocal teaching style reminds me of Sam Johnson who’s also a vocal teacher here on KZbin - I like that you both will explain where the singer is going right and if they’re not doing well, you both don’t bash them down or hate on them. It’s very helpful to see great teaching styles from vocal teachers and I talk about you + Sam Johnson to my own vocal teacher!! 😄 I hate it when I see other vocal teachers/singers/people in general criticize HARSHLY and/or just hate on singers and not realize that maybe the singer is super tense which is why they don’t sound good or I hate it when people don’t understand that a song like this that Ariana sang is really difficult but people who don’t understand what it takes to sing, they think this song she sang isn’t as amazing as her other singing because they don’t recognize that there are different styles of singing. I think Ariana did WONDERFUL in this and while I think she’s an incredibly talented singer, I was quite surprised that she performed this really well and didn’t make it super pop-y!!

[@ClaireSamuelsVA]

I’m just bingeing your channel at this point haha! I’m so glad you like Ariana, too! She’s extremely talented, and as someone with a much lower voice, I am awestruck by her.

[@salfordnurse]

What I love, is how happy she looks when she sings musical theatre.

[@SS-xm2hf]

Honestly, I've only listened to her songs in Disney covers. XD She sounds very nice in this, too. :O

[@broadwaybrook2319]

She did such a great job, I was surprised when I heard her sing this song. (In regards to who got casted as Elphaba & Glinda in "Wicked: The Movie") I think that they purposely had her and Cynthia Erivo sing each other's songs to throw you off, since Ariana sang "The Wizard and I" and she's gonna be Glinda, and Cynthia sang "I Couldn't Be Happier" and she's gonna be Elphaba. As a Thespian, I can confirm that "Wicked" was the musical that got me into musical theater. I saw it when I was eleven and it was the first Broadway musical I ever saw
