Kristin Chenoweth - Somewhere Over The Rainbow

[alanahbrittanyLOLOL]

I wanna be in musicals when im older and right now im 14 turning 15 and kristen chenoweth is my IDOL!!!!!!! :) -3

[TheChenonoteChannel]

I LOVE Kristin!

[Animekissi2]

í love her voice!! it´s so special!!<3

[1046JB]

my name is Kristin to! :D there is not so many in the world who are named Kristin...

[GleekyCreech]

I died.

[yuri040592]

This music is beautiful and sad, because it reminds me of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.

I almost cry listening. Israel has a beautiful song for my children.

[ensemble10]

I'd love to hear Cheno and Bill Evans do a collaboration. Wow. 

[Innocero]

I love this Miss Paroo ..... :)

[rlmack5]

Many of those commenting - as unbelievable as it might seem - would appear to be unfamiliar with the original recording of this song, as performed by the young woman for whom it was written. There's a word for what she was: inimitable. The singer here is indeed a talented performer - exceptionally so ... I wish to do her no injustice. But this particular song however, is here just that ... and merely that: a song. Do yourselves a favour and checkwhere out the 1939 version. Another word applies:

[Serena2009ification]

@rlmack5

I agree. Amazing though Chenoweth is....nobody has ever surpassed Judy Garland's original version, and I doubt anyone ever will. My Grandpa told me that when he was deployed during WWII, this song meant a lot to a lot of soldiers because the lyrics and 'that little girl's voice' reminded them of all the things they were fighting for.

[alika207]

Have you heard her singing it live? Now that is amazing! Look for it!

[loathing14]

I wish I could just put her in my pocket and have my own little "Pocket Cheno." That'd be amazing!! Life would just flow by and I could listen to Kristin. :)

[kronosmaf]

Maravillosa

Increíble

Hermosa

[lemon1110]

I'm in the Wizard of Oz. I just exploded with happiness.

[ZodiacBryan]

my 3rd favorite version of this song, number two goes to Natalie Hawkins AKA AvidActress007 number 1 is Judy Garland

[921144666]

I wonder if she will marry me...

[GleeFreak111]

Simply beautiful.

[cjcher]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!



[MsActress101]

I have that skirt...I feel proud.

[booknerd1998]

i love her voice. She's so talented.

[janeaustenfantx]

WOW she is fantastic. I saw "Wicked" but not with her in it. She was also in "You Again" as the wedding planner.

[JustJenna87]

She's got a voice like an angel.

[SuperAmp18]

Thats just a tad ironic...

[traceyblaze]

Surprise she can sing but I was reading an article about them wanting her as Rapunzel she's to mature sounding in my mind. I think she can sing but I really don't like the idea of her voicing anyone in a Disney Princess Film....she just wouldn't sound right. Rapunzel can't have a ....well I'm not sur ewhat he accent is but it just wouldn't fit. Sorry. Stilll good singer better tha I expected.

[MiaPia0808]

I meant to say 'want' instead of with

[MiaPia0808]

She has a great voice and sings the song beautifully, but come on, who doesn't with the one and only Judy Garland was still here to sing her song?

[FrozenWafflesFTW]

I would kill to have a voice like hers.

[TheHarrypotterfan9]

This is what I listen to when I'm sad. It always makes me feel better. She has such an amazing voice. Kristin Chenoweth is my idol!

[nevertrustacookie]

I feel blessed to have gotten to see her in wicked...BLESSED!

[madiola2000]

@nevertrustacookie u r sooo lucky

[ProudSpeakerofWhale]

@nevertrustacookie And....I feel jealous you got to see her in Wicked....JEALOUS!!

[xll5]

@ProudSpeakerofWhale Its awesome!!!

[MeganWilliams28]

I. LOVE. HER. Wickeeeddddd!! <33

[mariebossert]

Oh, what I would give to hear her sing the entire song, including the introduction!

[BabyIrakagi]

nice like the old times voice used to be

[izzydazzle8]

WOW, this is cool. She's really good! xxx

[DafkoBenedek]

She is so amazing :)

[lott78]

[littlelottesangel]

[Chyix2]

[SingingCatzzz]

[Laurithebest04]

@SingingCatzzz me tooo they are the best

[mytullygirl]

[drosanne]

Really beautiful!

[coastaldahling1]

She was a huge Broadway star long before most of us got to know her on Glee!

[ldrockstar69]

@coastaldahling1 she is*

[obessedbookwormA2Z]

@coastaldahling1 wait...when was she on GLEE???

[rexlevitak1]

@coastaldahling1 Screw Glee. She is Olive Snook forever

[iheartmusic5236]

@rexlevitak1 Not even! Glinda all the way :D

[FRANKMACALUSO]

@rexlevitak1 YEP another great show yanked too early

[Ashley4145341]

THAT WAs GrEaT

[ZSHudson]

Though I can not sing well and I'm trying to teach my voice to get higher pitched. I still dream of performing broadway with Kristin.. Some day that dream will come true if I believe in myself and work hard! I hope I can share that dream with other people! :)

[austinkhamilton]

@ZSHudson your voice is what it is, it can't be trained to go higher. you can improve your higher pitches but your voice could already do that.... and you don't need to sing high to go on broadway. altos are important tooooo lol

[LmfaoGod]

@ZSHudson Don't listen to Austinkhamilton. You can definitely, with a good vocal coach, hit pitches you've never dreamed of hitting.

[ZSHudson]

@LmfaoGod thank you! i will work my hardest!!

[Lantogh]

@LmfaoGod True actually i've extended 1-2 notes and with bad vocal teachers :D

[AngelSakura73]

@ZSHudson I am a soprano but altos are just as important! or any other voice for that matter! they help give a song a sense of balance, tone, melody and harmony! there are plenty for famous people out that are not sopranos!!!!

[coryizamayzing]

Kristin <3

[JosephDiveley]

nice performance of the judy garland version. she has a beautiful voice but rushes the lyrics in a few places. still a nice job

[JordanKerk99]

@JosephDiveley This is completely casual...it's not like a professional recording or anything...no one cares if shes rushing the lyrics

[cherryberrylipstick8]

this doesnt sound like her!!!

i am suprised

but its still good

[nadianinio1314]

love her

[Balackeru]

totaly nostalgic pushing daysies ' -'

[SunflowerGirli]

You go Glinda! :D *toss toss*

[Elizabeth211994]

She was in Wicked, and in RV...She started on Broadway before becoming an actress.

[Eleetnessful]

@Elizabeth211994 She was in Wicked?

[thorntonxgracie]

i dont know...50 50 but my dad thinks she is great

[videogeek12345]

i hate how she is only known for glee. her voice is phenomenal.

[JoseCosta7]

@videogeek12345 She had a career way before glee... she is so talented <3 I just love her... I hate that she is only known for glee too

[itzjoeymac]

Imagine that in your living room!

[BuddyBoyes]

Beautiful! We should have lunch...

[philosophyisthebomb]

oh my god, that's olive!!

[MsCloverHeart]

I love her she is the best singer ever :)

[kindjej]

wow good!!

[lelikiua]

хуита/huita

[cgreen186]

She not only is a wonderful singer, but I love how she make songs fun...

[XxMadAboutPotterxX]

Why is it that everything she sings sounds good?

[awesomeismyname1000]

Wo she's really good! Good isn't even good enough to describe it! Anyway I'm making a new youtube account, Toxic Ipods. I'm gonna sing a bunch of songs (Maybe) and yeah. check that out once I'm done. K thx. Oh and AWESOME JOB KC!!!!!!

[bamatommy]

Good job KC

[Spunkyroo92]

This is probably the first song from her I've EVER liked hearing her sing.

[megooloo]

got mad goose bumps

[linnyya]

Leona.

[r0adkillbarbie]

This is probably the best version i've heard since judy garland. I love Kristin Chenoweth.

[MonkeyHeadHain]

I Like her voice way better then Judy's

[aknowneemus]

@MonkeyHeadHain are you high monkeyman?

[xmaciekintwomasksx]

who's she?

[emmadilemmasings]

@xmaciekintwomasksx I'm gonna try to not be mad that you don't know :) She's an actress and a singer known for Wicked, Pushing Daisies, Glee, and everything else awesome.

[megooloo]

@xmaciekintwomasksx are you kidding me?

she played galinda in wicked the musical

[TherealRNO]

@megooloo: Yeah. Ironic, modern-day G[a]linda--homaging both Billie Burke and Judy Garland--singing Garland's signature song.

[ClarissaRissapissa]

@eelw22 Are you stalking Kristin or something? all of your videos are of her........

[marianagualano]

@ClarissaRissapissa And we are very thankful all his videos are of her! =)

[BoredTomboy]

@ClarissaRissapissa He's not a stalker! He just specializes in Kristin videos. Like some people have celebrity channels? Like that. Appreciate him! He's the Kristin crack-dealer.

[ch2guitarduo]

Very good! Acapella is not easy!

[andyscorner101]

Beautiful, talented, great comedienne...and a voice to make an angel jealous. This gal has it all.

[MakeItPopAlyssa]

Somewhere over the rainbow, she's in Four Christmases and You, Again :)

[inlovewithKStewart22]

She is extremely perfect. I agree with tomtompataygutom. Judy Garland would be so proud. :)

[keriah17]

is there a full version somewhere?

[RionPhotography]

WOW She's almost got that accent nailed... amazing

[woodlist]

ooooeewww yes!

Great.

[nailycai]

She is from Broken Arrow. She didn't get those gorgeous cheekbones from anywhere other.

[butchymcfabulous]

the thing is, she wasn't even going hard. THAT'S HOW MUCH SWAGG CHENO HAS.

[yipikayee]

did she had surgery? she looks so much beautifuler in the other video's.

[beautifullytragic1]

@yipikayee

I am 99.9999% sure that Kristin would NEVER have plastic surgery. She likes the person she is and she uses it to her advantage.

"Life is short. I'm not."

-Kristin Chenoweth

[Termonatorm5]

Marvelous voice, I applaud.

The way she was looking at the camera while singing...

[KingKook]

WOW! She has such a munchkin voice, on hormone treatment. I like it. She's a milf, too.

[TheNamesMellissa]

She has such a pure voice. Enjoyed this very much. Stop hating! She sung this song in the style that was prevalent during Judy Garland's time.

[leatherpervboy]

Glinda to Dorothy

[niknik1961]

She is fabulous.Simply Fabulous.What a talent.

[pucia12345]

Natural beauty and amazing, brilliant, marvelous, fantastic, wonderful, admirable, gorgeous and heavenly voice <3 She's awesome!!! :*

[exenrontexas]

A wonderful accapela version. Thanks Kristin from an Okie from Muskogee.

[emmyrossumfn101]

Wow! Shes very good. She also played Galinda, the witch of the North, in Wicked, the Broadway hit of the life of the Wicked Witch of the West! :D

[Fibonaccilove]

[toureyaya24]

@Fibonaccilove ye she is, and she's great at it :D

[jamesbluntirules]

[kmaria1357]

[mccplaymakers]

@Fibonaccilove Uhm...and many other more notable roles than that...

[margarita141414]

@Fibonaccilove wow... wait.. didn't she play Glinda in Wicked?? Smh, I can't believe some people recognize her from Glee..

[gltmeredith]

Beautiful Kristin. Love theAcapella!!

[survivoroftheamerica]

Not the best rendition I heard of the song, and I love her voice usually! She just wasnt into it like she seems to have been in others songs I've heard her sing.

[ACallToShame]

ehh.. obviously no judy garland. you can tell she didnt really feel the music :( 

[sek17514]

I don't Like her singing this with out music

[melinacosplay]

¡_¡ beautiful

[melinacosplay]

¡_¡ beautifull

[annabellapples12]

an angel.

[ScenexxxPunk]

AMAZING<33 she seems to serious, yet smily, but serious and adult like when she sings but when you watch her in interviews and talk shows she's so blonde :) i love her

[butterflybabe310]

i cant find a recording of her singing this anywhere. i wish she would record it.

[ScenexxxPunk]

@butterflybabe310 you can download mp3 rocket and paste the url and it will it strip the mp3 and save it to you itunes or wahtever music program you have :)

[butterflybabe310]

@ScenexxxPunk ohh cool. thanks. i didnt even know you could do something like that.

[ScenexxxPunk]

@butterflybabe310 no problem , i accidentally stumbled upon it one day. it's amazing :)

[butterflybabe310]

@ScenexxxPunk awesome.

[yokokanno25]

I love Kristen Chenowith! She can sing this song to me every night before I go to sleep. :)

[300Stargate]

Sie Ist Von Glee

[iagonarea]

grandma always told me that you know when someone sings well when she sings it without any help

[falconoilcompany]

Lovely, she has got the best voice ive ever seen. Seriously though, I would suggest she pays for voice lessons because her breathing needs regulating.This would give her more power and let her relax aa little to enable the tone of her voice to be heard. Very nice. good luck.

[FossyTv]

@falconoilcompany you do realise she has a medical conditon, thats why she takes so many breaths, not because she was badly trained, she is an amazing opera singer!

[mccallie10]

@falconoilcompany do you realize this woman has won a couple Tony's? (if im not mistaken) she has an amazing voice, thats just her style. she is more that a star, she's just flat out amazing.

[dianedominique]

She is SO talented <3

[emmadilemmasings]

Kristin has a beautiful voice!

[JohnMan59]

Oklahoma City RoCkS! Go Kristen. Absolutely LOVELY....

Come (back) to the Twin Cities soon.......and be WICKED!

[enjoyheaven]

I'd hit that.

[screamolives]

[alexton4]

Damn, I'm proud of you, my love!

Andrew W Foster (MTW '91)

[TheRaspberryHoney]

She's amazing! My best friend and I call her "the dwarf" lol because she's so tiny! But it's our term of endearment for her because she absolutely love her...

[ilovemykittensomuch]

Its Glinda!!! ;))

[jurrassicsparks]

wow, how beautiful.Lovely voice,beautiful looking lady.

[ellicantropos]

asi se canta sin gritos,perfecto..

[JaimeBienDancer]

<33

[abbyanderson4]

now i sound bad compared to her

[freakydancegirl]

She makes me wanna be a better singer everytime i hear her... amazingly talented

[saildapper2001]

Pretty rendition and voice, although I wish she breathed at logical places...but better than I or 99% of us could do regardless.

[br04dw4ybaby]

What was this for?

[biggestChenofan]

Judy Garland must be smiling and so proud! :D

[Montreal86]

A little woman with such a big voice...

[trotsopdenhaag]

lol

[dogg855]

I love her jaw lol.

[MrLuigiable]

I do not understand how this video has so many dislikes. I bet if Kristin sings this with background music, then people would appreciate it more.

[vahi37]

Wow!

[vahi37]

That was fan-freaking-tastic!

[loooshmy]

WHAT A MILF :D

[TerribleGreenBlizzrd]

Black Skirt. Bad idea.

[tomtompataygutom]

somewhere out there in the great yonder....

dear ol' Judy Garland must be smiling...

[LinusMcnair]

Shes bad at this song! She made me cry lol jk! :(

[luuk123123]

i hate the wiz of oz version! yuk.

[Montessahall]

I don't like Kristin's version of this song. Nothing special.

[MrLuigiable]

@Montessahall I bet it's because there's no background music that's why it's more difficult to appreciate.

[GaskarthBarakatLove]

Glinda singing Dorthey

[TendToTheFlocks]

you know she got the lyrics wrong right?

[bookybell7]

She is amazing I mean she is no Judy Garland or Audrey Hepburn but you know that is how the clock rolls.

[MrChengreen]

Olive Snook  vous êtes adorable en serveuse de tartes mais vous avez en plus a very nice voice. On vous aime in France.

[mudderof7]

I love that she is on pitch, has good timing and still can carry the song off without being warmed up, or autotuned.

Ah, the autotune...what professional singers do NOT have to use because THEY can actually sing--unlike several pop "sensations" nowadays.

[jessee49]

NICE VOICE ,NICE SONG, and very beautiffull girl lol friendly JESSEE...

[ChicagoSouthDan]

Hello everyone. During the course of an interview in which Kristin was asked about her favorite songs, she launched into this acapella version of this song with no rehearsal and without warming up in any way. Therefore, you should not compare it to other renditions that were rehearsed and in which a singer could select from multiple takes. To see the interview, type "7 things Kristin Chenoweth" in the Youtube search field.

[Calyemero]

It's beautiful

[dragomir9p]

singing this A capella isn't exactly easy and she does a great job. I really like her

[epacmo1807]

When I heard this, I immediately thought of "Wicked". Galinda is back :) <3

[uprainbow]

April <3
