Hasn't he said in the past also how much he loves it?

Kind of frightened how "it's his story".
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

It's fairly well-known that Kanye pursued a career in rap in a bid to rescue his talking-goat history teacher.

Maybe he wanted a celebration throughout Oz that's all to do with him?

In all seriousness, the fact that Kanye West, whose life story has no specific parallels to the storyline in Wicked, thinks it's "his story" goes to a lot of what makes Wicked so popular. An awful lot of people can relate to the storyline and characters -- it's not just tween girls.

He worked with Kristin on remixing popular :) I saw it a few months ago and thought it was a joke. Kanye REALLY doesnt seem like broadway fan :)

Not as cool as John F. Kennedy being a musical theater devotee.

I'm really curious to hear his "Popular" remix
Witty signature to come.

I don't think he was doing a remix, and he didn't use Kristin herself, just the track from the cast album. I'm pretty sure he was sampling it for his new album.

Though all that's official is that he was messing with the sample as a beat in the above video, YouTube is full of unofficial mashups of the song and Kanye's work.

Here's another unlikely fan -- he's World #1 now and is in NYC for the US Tennis Open and has said in an interview prior to this that he listens to this song before every match.

World tennis champ Rafa Nadal, whose biceps are practically Spanish national treasures, says the music that turns him on is a world away from the Shakira video that features his rippling muscles.
It's the theme song from "The Phantom of the Opera," called "The Music of the Night." Rafa said, "I love the musical. I was there in New York, watching that I think, six times."<<<
Vamos, Rafa!

I figured his derrière would be Spain's national treasure. Honestly, I never really noticed his arms, but that boy has an ass that I'd love to bite and call an apple! (I'm a butt man, okay?)

If there was not already reason enough to hate Wicked..
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Love it. I would even go see Wicked again just to watch it with Kanye. I bet he makes the most beatific faces of awe.

Great! Now 'Popular' is gonna end up being a hook in one of his tracks.
I like WICKED but if his remix becomes a single, it'll be overplayed in the radio and I'll hate it.
For example: Imogen Heap "Hide and Seek" sampled for that "Whatcha Say" song... if you can even call it a song. Monstrosity!
