Who Sang the "The Wizard And I" Climax The Best?

[@NicrophorusVesp]

Here's a game for all of you. Turn off the screen, hide it or whatever and put on ear phones. Then every singer that comes on guess if you know them or not (hard version: guess the name of the singer.) Then turn it over and see if you got them right. You start to notice how distinct how everyone's voice is, it may be the same song, but everyone makes it their own in some way or another.

[@MisterGolightly]

And E ohh this is cute. I'll pin your comment!

[@damianriverol3009]

That's exactly what I'm doing ha ha

[@hewodoge6620]

[@caitlyntymula8156]

It also helps you check your prejudices! You may think someone’s the best cause you’re a die hard fan then realize that there are others even better or just as good

[@rena_beana8741]

I totally agree I saw her

[@rena_beana8741]

SHE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!

[@soaribb32]

I like her too

[@brolobear]

Stephanie J. Block actually originated the role and worked it through tryouts out of town. She was replaced with Idina Menzel when it came to NY.

[@OnceUponATimeAddict]

As much as I love Stephanie, she only did about one or two workshop sessions before auditions were called for Elphaba, and then it was down between her and Idina which Idina gained because of her fame from RENT and dropping the "f" bomb in her audition....and it was Idina who did the tryouts, aka the San Francisco Early Runs as well as the Workshops between 2001-2003. But Stephanie is indeed one of the greatest Elphabas out there, right up there with Idina.

[@hillarystone7506]

No, Idina was in some of the tryouts. At least that is what I heard or I might have read it in Kristin Chenoweth’s autobiography.

[@MrFansley]

She played the role in LA, first time I saw it. Snatched out every hair on my head, especially after “Defying Gravity”. She’s amazing.

[@evanbisch5629]

I think Stephanie should’ve played the OG Elphaba

[@hillarystone7506]

MrFansley I didn’t know that they did some in LA, I thought that they tried it out in San Francisco. At least that is what Kristin Chenoweth said in her autobiography. I am not saying you are wrong; I just thought they tried the show out in only one city before heading to Broadway.

[@alexeifiore8573]

I gotta say, hands down, Jessica Vosk (1:10) absolutely kills this climax, and blows away any other competition. If we're going by "the best," hers is by far the cleanest, and so, so smooth and pleasing to the ear. The early riff on her "and I-" is absolutely beautiful. Sounds very much in character, doesn't take you out of the performance. Her voice moves like a wave and is truly effortless. I'll say my second favorite is Rachel Tucker (9:45). So, so much power, and it doesn't even sound like she's straining to get there. That growl she does on her "and" is stunning. Her notes don't waver whatsoever. When she's holding the final note, she. sustains. it. and. does. not. let. it. drop. Such an impactful performance and so definitive.

[@lutoph]

Some people just have the perfect voice for a song. I really struggle to think how someone would be able to perform this song better than Vosk at a technical level. Someone may well prefer another version and singer, but Vosk, technically, is flawless here.

[@Xenomiggs]

Rachel and Willemijn are in a whole other league.

[@isabelerhart9523]

Miguel Yanez yes there incredible

[@LisaMcCrissican]

Rachel was the first Elphaba I ever saw perform in Wicked and she was everything to a fellow Northern Ireland girl. She's unbelievable. Her and Wilemijn are the vocalists I look up to for this song.

[@michaelbertapelle8799]

[@maddymensour]

i wish ariana went the musical theatre route... i miss her actually enunciating

[@drewm.2790]

when she sings broadway she can still enunciate very well though

[@glossbones]

@@drewm.2790 that's the point

[@elusive7244]

Watch some 2018 performances of hers.

[@iheartyouandme4ever]

I thought so too. Her 2018 live performance of The Wizard and I was good. But I hardly understand her words.

[@RavenPH12]

@@iheartyouandme4ever It's the worst version I heard. It feels hollow. To be honest though, a musical director influenced my perception of the 2018 cover. Sir Fortich commended her technique but it is very lacking in "coloring", which is important in broadway songs.

[@samidellaidella532]

Donna Vivino was my favorite Elphaba. I could listen to Donna sing the phone book. She was spectacular. Always giving props to Idina for originating the role, but Willamjin was my second fav. after Donna

[@Mshottie6]

Saw Donna as the standby in the National tour in 2008.... just spectacular. At the end of act 1 my mom and I just looked at one another like “wow...”

[@isabelerhart9523]

İ loved her like stand up singing show about her dream to play Gavroche ❤️❤️❤️

[@harland.2616]

Ariana Grande is an amazing singer who’s made for broadway, but judging from her newest version of The Wizard and I versus this one, she is too focused on the voice she BUILT for pop music rather than her real, and what I think is much better, Theatre voice.

[@Mierplayz]

Harlan D. Kind of but based on the new vs old in the new one she has way more control over her voice enough to add extra notes in the newest one and the old one her voice was kind of bland but still good.

[@Kurgosh1]

Can you blame her though? She would no doubt have had a successful and rewarding career on Broadway. But as a pop star she's stupid rich and several years away from even turning 30.

[@nathanielcunningham2472]

Honestly she had way less control over her old voice even though she has better pronunciation. What’s important is that now she’s making the music she wants to make and singing the way she wants to sing.

[@zacharyrtaylor5379]

The idea that we have one 'real' voice is not a healthy one, tbh. Being able to adapt and control intonation etc to perform different styles is hugely important and requires a lot of hard work on the singers part.

[@elankhamanicastillo]

this might be a stupid question but can i ask what really makes a broadway voice different from a pop one??

Nuff said. - Alyssa is- like i said on another video- adorable and i love how clear her tone is - Myra has an awesome range with great power - Natalie Is so freaking cute with her facials and movements - Emma has greeeat inflection to her words - Danna’s transition up killed me it was so flawless - Luke has a really nice voice i love it - Lindsay is amazing in general and she gets really into it - Christine’s voice is super clear ! - Jemma’s voice is so goooood it sounded just cute at first then holy moly ! - willemijn is great I’m sure we’ve all heard her sustaining abilities - John yaaas another guy on this list killing it! - Donna has this really nice quality to her voice that’s appealing to me a lot - Kyle got so into it i love that! He also shaped the last riff really nicely - eden.... do i even need to say it?? She’s killer! She did seem tired tho which i can imagine - Jacqueline had beautiful tone to her voice - Jackie’s was pretty but the notes seemed to get away from her a bit at times - rachel seeems to be a fan favorite and i can see why!

Matthew Matousek in the pop world its about creating a certain voice and standing out so thats why she doesnt sing like shes playing a character which stage singing and pop singing is very different

Well yeah cause she doesn’t sing Broadway anymore sooooo

[@drewm.2790]

@Matthew Matousek I think it's just stylistic purposes in her pop songs, because when she sings broadway she enunciates very well

[@josephdylan2424]

she just performed the wizard and i yesterday it was amazing

[@levan874]

To me I find the “ee” in “teeaam” the most tricky to sing. Some of them tried to modify it to “eh”, some tried to riff through it because they couldn’t sustain the straight sound/aim for the right pitch, some took a breath too long, some got too screamy, some got too loud. Only one didn’t do any of the above and that’s Jessica Vosk.

[@JarrettSelf]

A lot of these ladies may be better technical singers than Idina, but nobody out-acts her. Idina fully embodies the character and puts so much into the performance that makes it stand above everyone that came after. Donna Vivino is a close second. Also, so many of these ladies voices, while fantastic, are so similar that they’re basically interchangeable. But Idinas voice is recognizable from the first note she sings.
