Eden is the 2nd best Elphaba.
Anyone who says she doesn't have
"good vocals" as Elphie obviously
has no knowledge of vocal styles
or capabilities. Go to school before
you make such harsh criticisms.

though I happen to totally agree with you, you miiight just kinda want to consider how you phrase your opinion- people on here can sometimes be a liiil bit.. um.. bitchy? lol. So, its just not always the best idea to start threads like that. But I'm all for the having a thread for Eden as Elphie!! because, clearly, Eden is amazing 
(imo)
and, out of curisity, who do you think is the first best?? for me, it's idina- I'm a bit of an idina finatic 
I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

I agree with you 
Idina is certainly #1, but Eden is #2 by a long shot.

Idina will always be #1!
As far has my strong statement,
it stands. Honest to the core.
And as far as people here being
"bitchy"...
I can keep up with the best of
them.

oh and for the record.. after spending.. a good portion of the day searching out videos on.. the website that shall remain nameless... i'm ACTUALLY starting to question whether or not eden doesnt TIE with idina in my book! haha... I dont think she quiite does yet, but she is getting darn, DARN close :P
edit: yeah, ok, thinking about it, nope, idina's still the front runner.. because even eden cant quiiite match her flawless acting. But she IS by far the closest to come to it

I personally think Stephanie J. Block gave the definitive Defying Gravity but yes, Idina is the best Elphaba I've seen.
And I am so bummed that I cannot see Eden on Broadway.

Posted: 9/3/06 at 9:11pmI was fortunate to see both Eden (in NY) and Stephanie J. Block in the national tour in Tampa...Stephanie definitely was the best of the two...never did see Idina, but based on the OCR, I think Stephanie was the best!

I adore Idina, but Eden is the only Elphie I have seen live, so she is tied with Idina in my book. That girl can sing the roof off! There are a couple of videos of her (on the site that shall go unmentioned) that are just amazing. Actually two (maybe three?) of them are from the same performance, so she must have eaten her Wheaties that night
"I wrote a book: "How to Be Popular". Now I've put together a top ten list of how to help you:
-Elphie, everyday... shower. I mean, who knows? Maybe some of that green is gonna come off!
-Deodorant Elphie. No body likes a stinky witch!
-I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that.
-Clean underclothes. That's all I'm gonna say.
-Look at your posture. That's no way to be popular!
-Bed made, room straightened. We've done that.
-Colors blended. Oookay.
-But the most important thing to have, to make yourself popular, is to keep your beautiful smile."

Posted: 9/3/06 at 11:06pmI agree, in saying that Eden is the second best Elphie. I think Idina is the best. Both are AMAZING, however!
#15re: Eden Espinosa - Elphie!!!
Posted: 9/3/06 at 11:07pmI haven't seen Eden so I really cannot judge her. I've seen Maria and Julia and I loved both of them.

Posted: 9/4/06 at 12:11amsnl89: Actually the ones I was talking about were NGD and DG from 1/29 (which I only know b/c I had sent them to a friend of mine and they were still in my outbox). Now I will have to go see if there was a Wizard and I from that same day. Maybe we are talking about the same show. All I can say is she was really, really on that night!
