I've been trying forever to think of how to be as politically correct in what I have to say. She sings the notes well, but she doesn't sing the SONG well. It means nothing. It just sounds good. And that's the difference. And I disagree with the multiculturalization of "Black" musical theater. It seems blacks lower their standards of allowing whites into their peices because they want the dollar. But I have yet to see a black Glinda, Elphaba, Marry Poppins, Christine from Phantom... etc... etc
This is AMAZING! But sadly I have to sing this for and audition and there's no way I'll be able to hit those notes as well as her :\ Any tips though? :)
and i think its wonderful that you made it a point to allow another race into this. Or ethnicity. I am not sure what is the most politically correct term, but very nice job
I've worked with many many many people in new york and i tell you noone has ever blown me away like that. She is absolutely amazing. At first i saw it being very sheet music and just sang straight from there and then she breaks out> I am truely happy to say I would put her in any and ever show possible,
Ms.Cailene is such a inspiration i am singing in the talent show and i dont think will be able to get through it without this version.I feel like i have to cry every time.
i agree the girl should have been aloud sing the song like shes nailed it and maby she has black ppl in her family and its her way if felling apart of that history
@TJNYC118 I can see it: She's walking through a huge crowd in the hallway getting bumped and ignored, can't take it anymore and sings this song, then realizes everyone is looking at her.

Nice voice. A bit too much of a "shout" at times, but a great overall vocal perfomance. Jessica Murphy had one of the best covers of this song on YouTube, but her video was removed for copyright reasons...Look for her to appear on Broadway very soon!
the girl whos singing this is brilliant. but you say its a preview to a brief history of black musical theatre...so...why have you got a white girl singing this song? seems a little...bent.
We wanted everyone to be in this show. Though it is our history of as black artist, I think that it has effected all people. I think its important for people of all races to learn and participate in the production to grow and immerse them in different cultures. As long as the performers deliver the material correctly it doesn't matter race they are. I think Cailene does more than what she is called to do here, thus she is singing it.
@MattyFresh05 This is cool cause im playing Dorothy in our school play and it is the wiz. Adn i like how i can listen to this and learn ways and styles to sing my songs. And its cool listening to someone singing the same exact song i will be singing(:
i do agree that anybody can be in the wiz, but i strongly feel that dorothy has to be black because she is the main character & "home" has to have that soul and power. she has a great voice, but she wouldn't be cast as dorothy in "the wiz"..."the wizard of oz"--yes. she's not riffing the way it needs to be riffed. there needs a passion and a history in the voice.
I wouldn't say that she ate it up. She did a nice job with it, but it lacked the soul and power that it requires. It's just a cut wrenching thing that most ethnic singers naturally have in their voices. Shoshana Bean is a white girl who can SSAAANNGGG with the best of the best. She puts soul into her singing but it's not the same as like a Fantasia or something like that.
Are you doing "The Wiz" or "Wizard of Oz"? Congrats for her beating out people especially when they are significantly older than her, but that doesn't negate the fact that I feel "The Wiz" should have a black Dorothy. It's the same thing that I feel Effie should be black in "Dreamgirls"
i completely understand :) and yes the wiz . it was kinda awkward cuz the lion was 22 and he had to rub on her leg at this part. I was the scarecrow and im only 14 ts not ad and our tinman was 20
DAT BYTCH CAN SANG!!! honey and I mean Bytch in a good way girl. You rushed the song a little but you made up for it in power, pitch and damn near perfect vocals. I would have like to see you have a little more stage presence. But the voice is on point. You should do American Idol. You have the talent. I hope you're still somewhere singing.
Have you ever had that feeling that when you hear something so good your hair just stands on its own and you just sit there staring in amazement? This is what I am feeling when I watch this video. Fantastic!
very impressive...such an amazing talented voice!...just one thing...get a little "heart" into it...think about what you're saying when you sing it...let that song control you...it's a very powerful song...and you did a beautiful job...kudos and blessings from Hollywood!
I love this! She actually did a little of Stepanie and Diana's arrangements. I have yet to see anyone execute Diana's arrangements so powerfully! Great job! Can't wait to hear more from Cailene!
if i had to say something critical, i just thought the beginning could have done with some soul...and should have been done a little more leisurely...slower as in conversational...so it kept with the broadway feel...the buildup would have been more effective...butit was fab...
i thought it got really good and she relaxed...wow!!! it sounds nothing like opera...for the others commenting...it was a belt...a pop/show belt...it was hot...
Love ur voice
