SPOILER ALERT: for those who've not seen it Elphies fine she just went under castle trap door and Firyero comes and they run away from oz forever. The heavy part is Glinsa and Elphie never see eachother again.
@ProudSpeakerofWhale No I meant for this uncreative, musically simplistic, dully stage, pre-teen garble or trash. I go to Operas that have stood the test of time for centuries, musicals written in the 1930s, this anal spew will hopefully be utterly forgotten but then the next hacked together abortion will profit upon the collapse of cultural quality in the west.
@rober1236jua If operas are your thing, then great. It isn't really fair to call this "musically simplistic," however. There are some very intricate and clever aspects to the music, and the fact that it's definitely "pop" doesn't disqualify it from being high quality music as well. Sometimes, such as in this particular song, simplicity is used for a reason. I'm sorry you're such a sad person and can't see the heart and the never-ending entertainment value of this musical.
@ProudSpeakerofWhale The song is pounded full of so many music cliches it kind of embarrassing. Notice the way the female voices raise at the end of a phrase and sustain a single note? Ever hear that before? Go to a baseball game and listen to the national anthem sung, all the styles and gestures of the music are there. Actually probably a study of Glee would give enough musical understanding to know this piece. The pace is constant, the cord structure extremely conventional,
@rober1236jua Composers use common musical devices because they are effective, not because they are cliche. Like I said, sometimes you have to be able to recognize the beauty in simplicity, not just in intricacy and complexity. No one can deny that this really is a beautiful song. Other songs in this musical use a much more complicated chord structure, key and time signature changes, etc., but Schwartz obviously felt that simplicity served this moment best, and I would have to agree with him.
@ProudSpeakerofWhale Composers do lots of things. What is most simplistic in this music is the emotional tone and the conventional cliches dredged up again and again. Actually this is the most complex song of the musical, complex in a mess with the two people some times singling over each other. Gravity uses a very mindlessly simple keyboard structure. Song sifts predictably between major and minor keys to stress emotion in a conventional way. This is simplistic if not always simple
@rober1236jua Well, clearly we disagree. I think there is an art to convincing simplicity, and for me, this IS convincing simplicity. I think it works. The point of the music in Wicked is not to be so complex that it loses all emotional impact with its audience, unlike some operas that I've heard. This song has some beautiful poetry in it as well, which is even more poignant if you know the play and the characters. Schwartz didn't chose the phrases randomly, or just because they rhymed.
@ProudSpeakerofWhale What emotional impact? The blonde bimbo and unpopular green witch make up, the unpopular green witch feels confident at the end? I mean go read through the lyrics I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Trite Pop-Psychology, the kind crape day time talk shows are pushing set to dull music. Wicked marked the end of Musicals
@rober1236jua Well isn't that set of lyrics simply true? I believe that. But I was talking about the later part, "Like a comet pulled from orbit, as it passes a sun, Like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood..." Or "Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind of the sea, Like a seed dropped by a sky bird in a distant wood...." I think the poetry is not only beautiful, but is meaningful and specific to the characters. I think Wicked marks new life for musicals.
@ProudSpeakerofWhale That is just trite drivel, there is no common theme to the metaphors. Comets, streams, ships, seeds, it all is meaningless. It all lacks any discipline or focus. What is the emotional meaning of the song. If you listen to this song you have no idea what the relationship involves, the selection of comets, streams, birds and boats shows clearly that no thought was given to them. Probably a collection of metaphors for lost just sitting around the writers had purchased before
@rober1236jua You call it trite drivel because you obviously know little about the characters. The metaphors that Glinda uses imply someone who is following a chosen path in life with determination but then meets someone else who changes their course for the rest of their life. Both of Elphaba's metaphors describe someone who is safely inside their comfort zone but is forced into an unfamiliar situation, and grows because of it. Each metaphor applies specifically to the character who uses it.
@rober1236jua Really, and this is described with a boulder, a stream, a ship, a seed, a bird and a comet. Hey but wood rhymes with wood. Look, trust me on this one. In 20 years time no one will be doing Wicked. It will be forgotten in almost no time. The music is really bad, the words are silly, and it simply does not hold up to some of the great 20th Century musicals. Its trite silly stupid effort to just regurgitate the the Wizard of Oz formula for another run.
I don't know what musicals you've been watching recently, but Wicked is not the end of them. It is only the beginning. You are the first person I've met who hasn't loved the musical. The characters are compelling and truly make you fall in love with them. This song made me cry the first time I heard it, as did many other people I know. This song has been played at many graduations, goodbye parties etc. That doesn't sound like meaningless lyrics to me.
@TheKitkat3 If you have never meet anyone who didn't love Wicked you have never meet a professional arts and music critic. Here in London they overwhelmingly panned it. As for Musicals I have seen recently: An American in Paris, Porgy and Bess, South Pacific, Les Mis, On the Town, West Side Story, Chicago, Jerry Springer the Opera (a work of near genius) along with a number of Operas both modern and Classical including Wagner's Ring, 4 Operas of Mozart, & various others
@ProudSpeakerofWhale Schwart obviously felt a trite silly story and idiotic lines like "but then I guess we know there's blame to share", I mean this is like farts. Look at a line from South Pacific
"You've got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You've got to be taught
From year to year,
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear"
Simple, but it is simplicity used to a purpose, to illustrate the nature of racism which opens ppls eyes to there own lives! Look up the word catharsis in art
@ProudSpeakerofWhale watch?v=kP5O_NUhrK0 is from Porgy and Bess, this is brilliant, it uses changes in tempo moving from Jazz and Swing to African spiritual, the words make brilliant clever references to African experience with the Bible. While being complex and full of historical references to the experience of blacks in America the song remains fun and catchy even. I challenge you not to hum it. This is greatness.
@ProudSpeakerofWhale watch?v=g4cqTBA6L44 from South Pacific is one of first Musical songs I really loved. The song plays between the simple melody like a children's song, and yet the gets slightly more edgy, exposing the violent hatred of racism. When I heard this song in High School I remember thinking 'that is precisely how racism works' and yet despite being deep South Pacific still pulls a massive crowd.
@ProudSpeakerofWhale watch?v=3NLJ4hq0Sg0 from Carousel is a very fun song. Notice the audience laughing at it. Not only does the song move through clever changes of tempo, tone, and content but you really experience the drama of a man who has learned he is about to become a father, and the emotional intensity of the father daughter relationship. I mean this song is almost a Freudian analysis of fatherhood issue, yet one that is fun and catchy. These are brilliant Musicals.
@123millburn It's just like in Romeo and Juliet regarding the wedding scene-it is never seen by the audience because it is not the central focus of the play. Dorothy is never seen in this musical either for the exact same reason. If she is seen, it draws attention away from Glinda and Elphaba's friendship and emotional character. Very creative in my perspective.
@123millburn I think it was because Glinda was supposed to be hiding behind the screen. If they would have done it without the scrim then she wouldn't have been able to hide. Just my thought. I agree though, it would have been really cool if you could have actually seen her melt.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ok what is up with the elphaba being completely a terrible singer she sings like tenor bass no way near alto and what's up with the lack of sing from Glinda she talked but not this much. And they look like they are in high school. Kristin and Idina forever best this is why they are the original cast.
@Theatreismylife787 If you look up Dee Roscioli you will know how an amazing singer she is. It was the closing night of the production so their last together and for Annaleigh (Glinda) her last in Wicked, thats why, because she was trying not to cry.
@Theatreismylife787 They're CRYING for goodness' sakes. Annaleigh is having such a hard time with this that she can't sing, she has to speak the lines. And I saw Dee on the Tour only a few months ago. She was completely incredible, both acting and singing. In my opinion, this is the most beautiful and touching performance of "For Good" on YouTube.
@ImCalebRosengard shes cryin cause that particular performance was the last one for all of them together. and that song had a special meaning, not just for the musical, but it was real for them as people
Me and my friend sang this at our Leavers service, it was the first song we did as a duet three years ago and we've been mega close ever since. It kinda became our anthem, and everyone cried when we sang it at the assembly. It's just such a perfect song. I would love it if you could take a listen. Serach Molly Austen and Esme Kendrick For Good.
Well that completely melted me....just look at poor, cute little Annaleigh's face when she finishes the first verse and while Dee is singing the second! She's practically sobbing. OH THIS PLAY!! It will be the death of me.
i loved this so much!!! though i will say the singing ( this is the london version cast right?) here is soooo much different from the australian and american version.
@nicolemar196 Its the Chicago cast. Annaleigh Ashford is Glinda. Elphaba is Dee rosciolo. Dee has played elphaba more than any other, on boradway, Chicago, San Francisco and now lead on the National Tour they are both amazing.
I think they are awesome but i really prefer Kristin and Idina because I'm such of fan of them!! I just love them singing together - or not, whatever, i love them singing*-*
They truely are amazing, and I can relate to Glinda because of the shows that have a long run time that I have been in. Knowing that this show is your last with this cast as hers probobly is an awful feeling because you know that this could be the last time you see your cast mates that you truely have become like a family and its hard to get through the last song, so props to her for keeping the song moving
ATTENTION ALL WICKED LOVERS! Does anyone know of another video on the Internet that has Dee singing for good?? I dont care about who plays glinda, but I HAVE to hear dee singing this!!!
@KiRbOkInZ stop false praising the originals on a video that does not feature them. these women are just as talented and I actually prefer THEM over the OBC.
@jasonr1929 well, no not really, cause if you think about it...everyone was against elphie before dorthey came....dorthey was only going along with popular opinion...and had no idea as to why Elphie was mad at her! All dorthey did was wear the shoes...that being said...u do see dorthey as the peron in the wrong to an extent
I cried at this song when I watched the musical and let me just say this video proves that every preformance was diffrent because this is very diffrent from what I saw
@TheChucckk i know you didnt say it wasnt but just in case you didnt see how it mattered. and thats good my boyfriend won tickets for us. great seats. and i hope you enjoy the musical it is a really good one.
yeah my school sang this 4 the seniors and half the girls were crying and it wasnt that good but i mean it is really hard to cry and sing and cry so i think they both sound really good
that was beautiful. i am crying right now. i'm such a sucker for sad endings! i'm just balling! if you cried too or just are laughung at this comment will you like this? thank you. this is so sad!
@TheBlueMeadow no, before this glinda talks about how they're coming for elphie. then elphaba gets a note from fiyero with insrtuctions to fake her death (accordding to stephen schwartz) and to tell glinda he's dead. it's an escape plan. by then there is the famous rumor she will melt so they use that as the death faking part. elphaba decides it's time to surrender but makes sure glinda wont clear her name, then it's obvious that elphaba might get killed fighting the crowd, then the song starts.
Two girls at my school did this song for Solo and Ensemble and they won best ensemble of the day. It gave me chills. And the judge said if they needed 2 girls for this musical that they should hire them. Good Job Ladies!
SPOILER ALERT: for those who've not seen it Elphies fine she just went under castle trap door and Firyero comes and they run away from oz forever. The heavy part is Glinsa and Elphie never see eachother again.

@KiRbOkInZ stop false praising the originals on a video that does not feature them. these women are just as talented and I actually prefer THEM over the OBC.

after seing the musical u hate dorothy
jasonr1929 8 months ago
@jasonr1929 well, no not really, cause if you think about it...everyone was against elphie before dorthey came....dorthey was only going along with popular opinion...and had no idea as to why Elphie was mad at her! All dorthey did was wear the shoes...that being said...u do see dorthey as the peron in the wrong to an extent
markbuell99 8 months ago
@markbuell99 Elphie was mad at her for 'killing her sister' (Nessa), if you see the movie you can tell dorothy knew that

@TheChucckk its a green elixir bottle. Elphaba keeps it because it was all she had left from her mother. and yes, it is significant to the storyline.

@TheBlueMeadow So, then you don't know how it really ends, right?
TheaterBound31 10 months ago
@TheBlueMeadow no, before this glinda talks about how they're coming for elphie. then elphaba gets a note from fiyero with insrtuctions to fake her death (accordding to stephen schwartz) and to tell glinda he's dead. it's an escape plan. by then there is the famous rumor she will melt so they use that as the death faking part. elphaba decides it's time to surrender but makes sure glinda wont clear her name, then it's obvious that elphaba might get killed fighting the crowd, then the song starts.
