  • The ending was different because she was loosing breath. It's really good though :)

  • that's the best reading of "I'm WICKED through and through" that I've ever heard. Idina will always be #1, but that was a really awesome version.

  • Oh my god! Helen's Fyiero is SO obnoxious!

  • It is a different ending . . . But i think it's really, really great! She performs this song so perfectly, I wish I had her voice!!!

  • i remember seeing this show, she was ill

  • gosh 3 people's hands have slipped and they have accidently clicked the dislike button!

  • if this ending was due to running out of breath what a great cover up!!! A lot of people know how the song is supposed to end but if you didn't know, you would have just thought, nice ending! (Sorry if that didn't make sense!)

  • i think it is not her best it isn't like she intended the alternate ending, i think she ran out of breath somehow and had to fix it

    no offense, just thinking

  • trill at end.......nice =]

  • its so slow...but still good!

  • Dude...this has to be her best.

  • I love the way she says "I don't even know what I'm reading!" :) love you kezza!

  • Singers do that if they are having trouble staying on pitch. its a great technique used a lot in Broadway and in Pop music today. It also gives the ending a little more improve for the performer.

  • I love the way she growls "wicked"!

  • It seems they Slowed the Song Down Alot!

  • oh i c the difference ... very nice

  • what is the difference? I hope thats not a stupid question... She was really good! I wish I could hav seen her!

  • @lizziemagic that last note is normally meant to be one solid note but she broke it into about three, I think she lost her breath, but it proves how she can still make it amazing even under pressure :P

  • yeah, she's great!!!

  • she added a "YEAH" at the end. and kinda did a little riff there in the last line. but this isnt the best ive heard her do.

  • oh wow! AMAZING!.. hehe i love how she has like a perfect american accent and then she;s like.. what good it this "chahnting"

  • I forget how amazing Kerry was in Wicked! She isnt even a patch of Alexia!

  • @MollyMxx I agree! Alexia is fantastic too but it would take some doing to match Kerry's vocals :)

  • How Fierce is this performance PLEASE!!!

  • chutiebabe i agree she just ran out of breath! cool though

  • I don't think she got carried away, I think she jusr ran out of breath, I like this though :)

  • what is different?

  • instead of carrying on with "again" as the lst note, she gets carried away and says sings "yeah" instead :)

  • WOW She sounds fierce here!

  • I MISSSSS KERRY !!!!

    i want her back to play elphaba... no one is as good as her, n i dont like Alexia =[

    please Kerry COME BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • That last AGAIN!!!!!! was amazing. she is the best elphie ever! and i know some people will want to kill me over idina menzell but il die happy ha ha oj

  • I think these fans who go round having a go at anyone who thinks that Idina isn't "the best" need bopping tbf. Idina so ISN'T the best.

  • in YOUR opnion...not so to many, many others

  • Kerry=the best!

  • the again is the only thing that is different

  • kerry is the most unique elphie, and that is why we all lover her :D

    so sad she has left though :( may 0th was amazinggg

  • I really like the way she does this song, I rekon it's her best, and she's very powerful, but I'm always really disappointed with the last note.

    I liked the very last bit of this but I didn't think it really worked until the very last note.

    Otherwise great - as per

  • whats so bad about may 9th???

  • Its Kerrys last ever show in wicked :(

  • I feel this clip is rubbing it in that when I went to see her she was ill, and I had Ashleigh instead. I was gutted, but Ashleigh was so good. Her voice was really raw and sweet, youtube doesnt do her justice

  • it doesnt do any of them justice, they all sound millions cooler live

  • God! That song is so suited to her. Growl Kerry GROWL!

  • hmm im not sure if shes breathing

    she might be just trying out something new

    as excited as i am about may 9th i dont want it to come:(

  • the version that i have is cellos at that part

  • ommgg kerry this is the best ive heard you sing this

  • shes so loveable which makes you feel orry for elphaba

  • Shes a great singer, It just seems, idk. Not like elphaba as much, its too clean maybe? Idk if that makes sense. I'm sorry if that offends you, she's talented don't get me wrong, but please don't get pissed for my opinion.

  • Yeah well, I'm pretty sure more people have agreed with me than you, sorry...

  • i love her ,

    im WICKED through and through . :)

  • Kerry is such a talented woman! Amazing!

  • I like how she says Fiero there

  • um wow.

    also good montage of clips really well presented i feel like someone should say it in between all this kerry rules no steph does no idina does or whatever and thank you for posting this :)

  • I love Kerry! I really really do, but don't hate me for saying that IMHO I believe Stephanie has an amazing powerful if not just a tad bit more powerful than Kerry's. I do agree that Kerry's is more pure, but Stephanie has a huge set of pipes on her!

  • Agreed!!!

  • Yeah totally.....i think Kerry, Stephanie, Amanda and Willemijn have the most powerful voices :D

  • Willemijn Verkaik is AMAZING! and i have seen Kerry she is sooo good I think she's my fave cos I've seen her!

  • is this up for trade?

  • no idea.. i dont think it was intentional maybe she ran out of breath towards the end.. i still think it sounded amazing though :)

  • i think the ending sounds ok

  • She is absolutely amazing! the ease of her belting and power and the clarity of her pitch is just flawless and damn near unmatched absolutely one of the best vocally without a doubt. her performance acting wise may have been a little flat but her vocals make up for it! i feel like she ran out of air at the end however. her little riff she did sounded more like a waver in her voice almost in an attempt to catch her breath while singing and when it didn't work she just re-sang the word at the end

  • thats soo right! she rules ^-^

  • West End

  • This would perhaps have to be the most SPECTACULAR performance of No Good Deed that I have heard Kerry sing.

  • i rather enjoyed that (:

    imo didnt sound bad really.. i think if you hadnt heard the song before you wouldnt really notice it as anything other than a good ending (:

  • the english can sing!

  • amazing! kerry amazes me so much! she rocks elphaba! shes up there with sho and eden

  • IMO, Kerry is nowhere near the best Elphaba. I don't see why people get so mad for voicing my opinion. I'm not saying she's a crappy singer and the worst Elphaba ever, I just don't think she's anywhere near being the best. And her being Elphaba for 2 and a half years has nothing to do with it. Although, I'm kinda curious how they pick who's gonna be replace who. Do they just pick names out of a hat? Not just Kerry, but even in other places.

  • I disagree with you not seeing Kerry as one of the best Elphabas, but I also agree that Wicked fans get waaaaaay too defensive about who they like or dislike. As long as you don't trash the actresses, you should be able to say who you do or don't like.

  • I think she makes some great acting and character choices. Some are bad ideas though. But I just think her vocals aren't fantastic.

  • Stephanie's voice is nowhere near as powerful, clear and well developed as Kerry's. Sorry.

  • I'm sorry - but Stephanie's (Or any other Elphaba voice) voice doesn't even come closer to Kerry's. Technique/power/clarity/contro­l/range - Kerry wins hands down.

  • right im not being funny, i agree with mithra but you CANNOT say she cant sing - this is proof of that. thats just crap

    there is not one single elphaba who doesnt have fantastic vocals, and may i remind you that (in england anyway) they do 9 shows a week. nobody that didnt have fantastic vocals would be able to cope with that

    doesnt matter whether you like her style or not, you cant dispute that she can sing

    rant over.

  • I never said she couldn't sing. I just said she's not the best one out there. Not just singing, but acting wise as well. Her Defy Gravity is just flat. I don't see why people get soo defensive over stupid stuff like this.

  • because you make stupid comments that arent true

    you may not like her vocals but her defying gravity wasnt flat when ive seen her or on many videos on here

    im not getting defensive over her in particular - it just that quite obviously she can sing and does have amazing vocals as do the other elphies otherwise they wouldnt be cast...

  • You can never say that it is or isn't true, because it's an opinion question. Her DG is flat. Not the vocals, but the acting of it. Not every Elphaba they cast is amazing. They are all great, but not everyone is amazing. There are plenty of Elphies out there that are better than Kerry, that's all I'm saying.

  • but thats not what you were saying at first

    fine you can have an opinion and i said all the vocals are amazing which they are

    and anyway, if you dislike her that much why are you watching her videos?

  • I watch them to try and see some good things about her. And there are. She makes a few good character choices. I like her "Look to the Western Sky". I just don't like a lot of stuff about her.

  • JessJay, I agree to a point with Thoamsxxman. IMHO, Kerry has the best voice of the Elphas. But, IMHO, she is not consistantly a good actor. I think she has been bored with the role for some time, and that comes out in her perf. When she really wants to put on a good perf she does. The role is too demanding for anyone to do 8X a week, months on end. The producers are burning through elphas. Not enough time off for the voice to rest or for a personal life. Y do u think Idina won't come back.

  • Exactly, I mean come on. It's no mere coincidence that some of the greatest singers have ruined their voices with this role ( i.e. Idina, Shoshana, Caissie...) This role consists of lots of belting which can really damage a person's voice. And to me yes Kerry does seem a little bored with this role...

  • If Kerrys bored I'll take over for a little while! BTBH No matter how bored she gets, she is always going to be famous for Wicked, i should think she will have a hard time getting OUT of this Elphie "tag" she now has. But lets face it would you really want to?

  • She definitely ran out of breath there. You could hear it wavering. She's not my personal favorite, by a long shot. This must be one of her first ones. Because if it wasn't, she should know how far she could go and be able to guage how much breath she needs.

  • Seriously? I highly disagree. Stephanie as a lot more belt, and a better riff on everything.

  • I'm sorry, but Kerry's voice is far better than Stephanie's - or any Elphaba for that matter. Power/clarity/qualirt/range/co­ntrol/technique - She just has it all perfectly.

  • and stephanie doesnt have power/clarity/range/control/an­d technique?

  • Not anywhere near Kerry's level. (And Steph's amazing)

  • sure she does.

  • Agreed-

    Thew power is INCREDIBLE.

  • hate the ending

  • i think she changed the ending as she ran out of breath on the last note so went "agaaaaain..." yeahhh ! lol

  • FORGIVEN!

  • Stephanie J. Block's attendance is the worse

  • I must say, Stephanie J. Block is a VERY hard act to follow, but Kerry's voice is so pure, so beautiful. She is truly talented.  Her performance has gotten better since being in the States.

  • I really like this version of No good deed!

  • Whats up with you anffine she does not sound like a man i woukd like to hear you sing that its bloody hard. I am sick of poeple saying ooo kerry sounds like man mmmm just does not lay of her she is amazing.

  • Aw! I love it, even though the endings different. It's so cute :) But aw, and it was her first proper night and all :( I could give her a massive hug right now, but she's doing great at the mo and had no bad reviews! Everyone loves her! I'm gonna download it cos I like it, aw!!!

  • thats racist dude.

    just cuz shes has a certain face shape doesnt give you the right to hate her cuz she looks chinese,which she doesnt and shes not she looks fine so shove it up urs

  • wow i watched that thing just to listen to two extra notes! wow....

  • How can you say such a thing like that about Kerry?!

  • I didn't notice that the ending was different...what's different about it?

  • what is wrong with you?

  • what makes you think that?

  • i agree, meine dianne pilkington j'aime so cold

  • How could you say that. Thats so nasty , Kerry Is So pretty And has the best singing voice ever

  • She kinda looks like Gretchen Wilson. O.o Which is a good thing...Gretchen is hawt. So is she.

  • then why did you watch her video if you hate her so much??? i for one cant get enough shes sooo amazing!

  • Wow.

    You can go to hell for mocking somebody like that.

    She's incredible and youre just jealous.

  • o= Your so freaking out of order!, You Have NO right to say that, we respect her for her voice, yes she IS freaking pritty, and your just jelous of her look, Now go die in a hole :/

  • Could you please post DG from that show? thanks!

  • I sung throughout high school and did concerts and stuff throughout college for fun and they always taught us these techniques when you get an off night and can't quite hit those notes. I think it shows better training and understanding of musical theatre that she decided to mix it up than go for a note she just couldn't hit that night.

  • it sounded like she just got really into the rock version that she did for the other two songs and did a bit(rock) at the end for this one. it's a compliment not an insult. i like it

  • Woo!!! I'm going in December when Kezza is back!!!!

    I hope we go to the stage door!

  • can i just say alexia's acting is amazingggg her acting is far beyond kerrys standards seriously ...singing wiseee..i think alexias voice is tooo immature and she growls wayyyyyyy tooo mcuh ....but kerry wins on singing...ohh but alexias version of as long as your mine is better den kerrys...but still kerry is amazing!!

  • going to see this november 1st in nyc cant wait

  • i feel she just ran out of breath at the end of the song but hell she knows how to turn it around in her favour!!!!!! she rocks!!!!!!!

  • nice! like the ending!

  • there is no such thing as a bad elphaba there are elphabas that excell in certain parts.

    but to do the part the are all phenomally talented actresses and singers

  • i definitely agree. i couldn't do what they do. it takes a special talent!

  • agreed! they wouldnt be in the show if they weren't good. obviously though people have favourites!

  • i know kerrys mine but i don't think the other elphabas are crap.

  • same kerry is just amazing but i don't go out of my way to tell others if i don't like an elphaba-it's just my personal opinion. to be honest i think that most of them are incredible!

  • Personally I think Kerry Ellis is amazing, and for that reason I don't want to go see Wicked when Alexia is in it and she isn't.

    But that doesn't mean Alexia is bad, not in the slightest. Any actress who is fortunate enough to land the role of Elphaba is phenomenally talented. I just prefer Kerry.

  • wow great audio quality. kerry is so powerful. cant wait till december =]

  • wow this is insulting Lisa did her ending so much better when i saw her

  • Holy riffs on the "again"

  • The best No good deed, i have ever heard

  • wow she sounds so powerful in this vid! she's all of a sudden started to grow on me our kezza

  • I LOVE IT! Kerry changes the wicked songs so slightly BUT makes them sound amazing whenever she trys something new! like her riffs she sometimes does in TWAI!!!

  • that was the kindest way of saying she ran out of breath lol

  • lol yeah but you cant blame her, she never usually does, i think she was ill..?!

  • idk im not  a Kerry fan but she doesn't sound sick...

  • she never does though... even when she is actually sick SHES AMAZING! u shuld be a Kerry fan lol... whos ur fav elphie?

  • im a Shoshana person. 1)

    The reason i dont lkike kerry is because her facial reactions sometimes are like what ever i want to go home not the right expressions for this part.

    2)Also some of her fans drive me insane not you but the ppl who go on to a video of say lisa brescia and say stuff like she sucks kerry is so much better

    3) Dianne Annoys the living crap out of em and that affect my opinion of kerry

    Other than that shes okay

    haha i just wrote a report on this subject so i have it prepared.

  • Ive got to admit some of the videos of Kerry on youtube have her facial expressions looking bored but they are generally from 1-2 years ago and she has improved and grown into this role a lot!! You wrote a report on the subject of Kerry being not very good?

  • Agreed but like the 10-18-08 (18.10.08) video she looks dead along with her newest video 6-17-08 (17.6.08) on broadway and not on Kerry exclusivly but on why acting skills are more important than looking good and singing (i mentioned of actresses Dianne among them)

  • also why is every one thumbs downing me its really low just to put thumbs down and not even say why convince me why Kerry's acting is better than i think it is im open to a change of mind :)

  • I actually really like Shoshanna. Her voice is beautiful. I just think Kerry has an unbelievable voice. I wouldn't even say one is better than the other, they are just different. I just really, really love Kerry.

  • o i agree Kerry's vocals are the most amazing of any Elphaba

    its just that some of kerrys fan can be vocal like all this tumbs downing im getting so whatever.

    ps i agree that you can compare elphies like have you seen those comments about willijem? They are on Shoshana Kerrys everyones vids its annoying

  • yeah, some fans do get carried away. i mean i don't like idina at all, but i don't go watching her videos because i don't like her so why watch her? people just get bored and decide to rain on other peoples parades.

  • I know i love kerrys vocals there amazing its only her acting haha i hate fans that over react.

  • are you going to catch kerry on broadway?

  • Heck yes I can get over her acting to see m\y love kendra no lol i still like her its not like shes Ana I cant stand her voice

  • why do u not like idina????? just wondering

  • her voice just does nothing for me. i have listened to a lot of her stuff because i want to like her, but for some reason i just don't. i don't have anything against her, but her voice just isn't my cup of tea.

  • I would have to agree with you!

  • same!

  • I love Idina.

    And Kerry is awesome too. :D

    At least you gave Idina and chance you know?

    :)

  • :)

    when was this? do you know?

  • i think someone said it was her first official show as Elphaba...1/1/2007

  • thanks :)

  • um...maybe i'm just stupid but what was different? lol i heard the "yeah" at the end but she had a cold right? she probably ran out of breath on the last note and started another one. lol don't get my hopes up i thought there were gonna be different lyrics! oh well i love you anyway lol. but check out the idina menzel version with the different lyrics it's kinda funky. they fit in a minor-key version of "unlimited" into NGD and i thought it was cool!

  • actually when i first heard it i didn't think there was anything different about it and then i posted it and everyone said she added an extra again in the end. im sorry for getting your hopes up :(

  • oh yeah i heard that version of idinas its so cool

  • Absolutley amazing as usual! and she had a cold here too! bless her can't wait untill she's back! xx

  • OMG that was out of this worldly amazing

    i mean WOW she puts so much into every performance shes for frontal in modern musical theatre AMAZING

    Broadway are lucky to have her for a while =)

  • lol!

  • dont keep pickin out things that arnt perfect or u dont lk cant ppljust be nice bout this she is an amazing singer perfect evry night!!! loves kerry x

  • I like how they made the sounds all spooky for the line 'is that all good deeds are when looked at with an ice cold eye..'

  • No way! Kerry is the best Elphaba ever!

  • If you are going to post something like this don't post it on a video which Kerry is in?

    Keep your acid comments away from Kerry !!!!!!

  • That's fine if you don't like Kerry, but to call her the worst Elphaba ever is a little harsh.

  • Kerry is the best Elphaba! I don't know what your problem is if you don't think that.

  • she definitely is

  • The only thing that annoys me about kerry is her acting (or lack of that)

  • i disagree... but thats just my opinion!

  • well thats just not nice

    they obvipously have talent or they wouldnt have go the parrt

    kezza has been in wicked for years

    and the keep bringing kendra back

    so obiviously their awesome

  • I never said she wasnt talented i just she under reacts now aday as a standby she blew the Apollo into smithereens she was amazing now im not to sure she might grow on me again idk...

  • no Kendras up there with Hilty are you deaf??
