Popular (From "Wicked" Original Broadway Cast Recording/2003)

My dream is to sing like this woman one day. Her talent is incredible

I just noticed… Glenda's eyes are green!!! that's so cool that they did that!💚🖤💚🖤

Alternative Title for this song: Galinda’s Ego Skyrockets

I love how you can imagine the facial expressions and mannerisms she has so clearly, just off of her voice alone

This song is what my sleep paralisis demon sings to me

I somehow first heard this song on Tiktok and I'm addicted to it now, such a great clear voice this woman has

if this song wasnt so overused, i’d sing it for every audition. Kristin and I have the exact same voice. Mezzo, but very squeaky and child-like.

This lack of comments needs my help There

I was fortunate enough to see Wicked on Broadway in 2006 for a school field trip and it still is one of the best experiences I’ve had in my entire life

Kristin and Idina are what Broadway dreams are made of; crossover material...I always enjoyed them on Glee.

"Yer gonna be pop u hoo ler!" Everything about this song is so cute, her voice, the lyrics, the playful piano...

This amazing song deserves way more attention

The head voice note on the "u" of "popular" gives me life.

Man, her voice is on point!

Okay Heather

Kristin Chenoweth is just on an entirely different level as an actor

Such an anthem for "Fixer Uppers", and former awkward-ducklings. XD

Years later I’m eternally grateful my middle school music teacher (public school) who had us preform in a he local theater for wicked. Mrs. Johnson you know who you are! Truly an unforgettable experience.

Kristen Chenoweth is such an icon😍

Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project. You really don't have to do that. I know. That's what makes me so nice! Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I and—let's face it—who isn't less fortunate than I My tender heart Tends to start to bleed And when someone needs a makeover I simply have to take over I know, I know exactly what they need And even in your case Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face Don't worry. I'm determined to succeed Follow my lead And yes, indeed You will be... Popular! You're gonna be popular! I'll teach you the proper poise When you talk to boys Little ways to flirt and flounce oo! I'll show you what shoes to wear How to fix your hair Everything that really counts To be popular! I'll help you be popular! You'll hang with the right cohorts You'll be good at sports Know the slang you've got to know So let's start 'Cause you've got an awfully long way to go Don't be offended by my frank analysis Think of it as personality dialysis Now that I've chosen to become a pal, a sis- Ter and adviser There's nobody wiser Not when it comes to popular I know about popular And with an assist from me To be who you'll be Instead of dreary who-you-were... or are... There's nothing that can stop you From becoming populer—Lar... La la la la We're gonna make you popular... When I see depressing creatures With unprepossessing features I remind them on their own behalf to think of Celebrated heads of state or Especially great communicators. Did they have brains or knowledge? Don't make me laugh! They were popular! Please It's all about popular! It's not about aptitude It's the way you're viewed So it's very shrewd to be Very very popular Like me Why miss, Elphaba, look at you You're beautiful I have to go You're welcome! And though you protest Your disinterest I know clandestinely You're gonna grin and bear it Your new-found popularity La la la la You'll be popular Just not quite as popular As me!
