"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

"I Who Have Nothing" from Smokey Joe's Cafe
"She's a Woman" from Kiss of the Spider Woman
"What is it About Her" from The Wild Party (Lippa)
"Funny" from City of Angels
-or-
If you're looking for an audition song, I would sing "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield. I'd pee a little if I were behind the audition table, and would give you the job just for being creative and bad ass.

That Wicked song that starts as if the witches are going to come out as lesbians but in reality they just needed a long song to express their dislike for each other.
I's called I hate you witch, or whatever.
Listen, I don't take my clothes off for anyone, even if it is "artistic". - JANICE

Posted: 9/24/14 at 11:41amLol Blaxx! I was actually thinking about "I'm Not That Girl" from Wicked. Not the most standout song but good on the jealous emotion.

Posted: 9/2/19 at 2:53pmGod, I Hate Shakespeare - Something Rotten. The reprise actually explains that he is jealous and is more somber but the first one is more angry and him ranting about how much he hates Shakespeare. So take your pick.

Posted: 9/2/19 at 4:44pmThis thread is 5 years old, pretty sure the op is no longer seeking out songs.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I just wish the OP would take the opportunity to fix the spelling of "jealous" in the thread title.

So, pointing something factual out is now frowned upon? I wasn't criticizing. Sheesh.

Regardless of how old this thread is, I'm surprised no one else has mentioned ''I Still Get Jealous'' from ''High Button Shoes'' (1947). It was reprised in ''Jerome Robbins' Broadway'' (1989).
Nick Jonas, who has 4 B'way credits, has a pop hit, ''Jealous.''

it's called "Loathing" and it may be the most brilliant use of musical comedy in the entire score, because it plays against our expectations and sings about the exhilaration of hatred rather than making it all doom and gloom.

The title is officially "What Is This Feeling?" and anyone who is calling it "Loathing" is doing it in the same way as people use "Tits and Ass" to refer to "Dance: Ten; Looks: Three."
