I know this has been posted before..but Lea Michele MUST be Elphaba at some point. Movie or broadway, I don't care. She rocks, and would be unbelievable in the role.

Posted: 10/23/09 at 2:38amUm, I can't be the only one that would rather see Kurt as Elphaba.

Posted: 10/23/09 at 2:41amWhat I can't believe is that someone managed to make Schwartz's music sound worse than it already is. Impressive.

Posted: 10/23/09 at 9:30amRemarkably, for a Stephen Schwartz fan and yet not a fan of Wicked, I find Ms. Michelle's voice better than Menzel's because it doesn't sound as labored. IMO, Menzel is one of the infamous Broadway belters guilty of perpetually over singing.

Posted: 10/23/09 at 9:33amI want to see a GLEE version of WICKED with Kurt & Mercedes. They can fight it out who gets to be who.

... This is a reeeeally disappointing rendition. Anybody who has heard her version of "The Wizard and I" knows she could belt the hell out of this.
And a big fat "Oh, please" to the autotuned comment. Lea is by far the least autotuned sounding cast member on Glee, and she sounds EXACTLY like that when she sings live. I enjoy Menzel, but Lea is a far more consistent singer than Idina could ever hope to be.

Posted: 10/24/09 at 7:03amwhere can I hear her version of the wizard and i?

Posted: 10/24/09 at 11:47amIt used to be up on *~*that site*~*, but I think it might have gotten deleted. I think it was taken from one of her cabaret shows. It wasn't a very quality recording if I recall right, but it was the first time I remember realizing how far beyond Wendla's range she could sing.
