WOW! Kristin Chenoweth is the best singer out there. She can sing anything and sing it very well. Such emotion in that angelic voice - Love It! The "Cheno note" on the end is superb. Her stage show needs to be put on DVD. Hey PBS/Sony -It would be a hot seller. --- A song has no better friend than Kristin Chenoweth!
The first time I heard this song, I absolutely adored it, but I didn't know what it was from. Then I joined a community theatre production of "The Wiz". Then I saw this episode and when it got to this song, I was like "HOLY SHIT! THAT'S FROM THE WIZ! OMFG!" Our opening night is tonight. Wish us luck!
Amber Riley sang this at the white house. I wish they had let her sing it on the show. Or at least give her something other than r&b and hip hop. Make her more than a stereotype.
Kristen Chenoweth is an American Treasure! One of the very best ever. Folks in Oklahoma must be very proud of Kristen and Kelli O'hara (she's great, too).
So, I found out there's only one degree of separation between Kristin and I :) I'm a friends with someone who grew up with her in Oklahoma!!! :D I FLIPPED OUT. Yea, I'm raiding on their family get togethers, because apparently they still see eachother when their both in OK.
@Gleelooodoyle - OMG Gleelooodoyle, I can tell you're a young person, your reference point is "The Heights", from the 90's right? Which I know to you is probably really old. But actually, this song was first featured in the Broadway musical, "The Wiz" way back in the year of 1975, sung by then, 15 year old Stephanie Mills, I was 1 years old. :)
Then 3 years later, in 1978, Motown bought the rights, & made a full length feature adaptation. However in the movie, Diana Ross sings this song.
@vegasbaby92 though I agree with you on this. It is from The Wiz but Gleelooodoyle's reference point if from the musical "In the Heights" not "The Heights". "In the Heights" is a very good musical an you should check it out if you have not already.
@babyhlouisex HOME is from the play THE WIZ. Stephanie Mills sang it orginally on broadway and re-recorded it in 1989; in the movie version Diana Ross performed it.
there are few glee performances that truly bring me to tears.
this is one of them.

@PutanXonitBoii That killer last high note is simply epic.
And is totally Kristin Chenoweth-like, because in the original, or in the Diana Ross Version, as far as I know, there's no such note :B
Kristin is <3
