Okay, so I really wanted everyone to read this, that's why I put it as the intro to the video. In case it's moving too fast, here's what it says: "While browsing YouTube videos...I came across smt2662's video "Eden vs. Caissie Defying Gravity Challenge." I was reading through the comments and a lot of people were complaining...they said it was unfair that it was one of Caissie's first performances, and Eden's last Broadway, so Eden had more experience. They said that Eden would obviously be better. I disagreed. Eden sounded better...well...because she is better. But, it was a little unfair. Personally, I think it's unfair to compare anyone to Eden, because she is just WAY better than everyone. But that's not the point. The point is what YOU think. So I decided to make this video, using Eden's first ever Defying Gravity, and the earliest one of Caissie's I could find. So no complaining the only reason thay Eden is better is because she was more experienced. Eden's better, because she's better...but again, that's just me. And this isn't even about me. It's about you. I want to know what you guys think. Eden? Or Caissie."

So that's the whole intro. I figured there was a better chance of everyone reading it if it was in the video. Also, this was smt2662's idea. I'm not stealing it and claiming it as my own. He or she even mentioned in the description that people could use the idea, which is what I'm doing!

I know it probably would have flowed better if I did each girl singing every other line. But I figured some lines showed off each one's voice better. Plus I like showing off Eden's voice and then having Caissie right after to compare them. And don't get me wrong. The point of this video isn't to say that Eden is amazing and Caissie stinks. It's just to compare my favorite Elphaba to the woman that replaced her. I don't think Caissie is /bad/ by any means. I don't like her, but she wouldn't have a principle role in a professional theatre if she was bad.

Both shows up for full trade. Eden's is an audio and Caissie's was originally a video! My site is at www.freewebs.com/aegeechan. The date of Caissie's was July 2, 2007 and the date of Eden's was March 21, 2004. (less info)
