What Is This Feeling? (Children in Need 2006)

[zambranoju]

oh Idina, I love your laugh :

[Janellelynnmayo]

Annalene is better than Helen

[courtneyluvsglee]

Is it me or does Wicked sound a bit, well crappy with a English accent? I mean Idina is just...WOW and Annalene just didn't do it for me. Well that's my opinion :P

[nixxycoolio]

love the cackle at the end! XD

[fireenginemoodragon]

i STILL wish I had been able to see Idina when she was in London </3

idina menzel is AMAZING <3

[LisMadina123]

Idina's one of my favourites, although I've never seen her perform live, I've seen Rachel and Rachel's understudy, but I still seem to favour Idina over anyone I may ever see. :)

[mrswuppie]

I love Idina's laugh at the end!

[BagOfSticksFork]

I loved Helen but I aaadore Annalane. I am sooo sad Louise is leaving. I've seen her twice this year. Once for my sis's birthday and again for mine. I may be seeing her on leaving night for christmas

[Xxbeanyxbabieex]

I know it sounds weird, mee being british and all, But shee sounds WAYY to english for this song. Shee says 'Loath-ing' and Idina says 'Loathing' as one word, not two sylabls. And I clicked on this thinking it was Kristen Chenoweth, butt ohh well, cause I stilll <3 LOVE <3 Idina Menzel!

[Avalon1929]

I thought Idina only was on Broadway ?

[VHudgensFan19]

Unfortunately, they don't sound as good together as Kristin and Idina but they sound good. :) 

[Cece221986]

Love Annalene Beechey!

[InspiredByLoki]

God this song just makes me love Elphaba all over again! :D <3

[pickles454]

i think kristen is the only one who can truly match idina's voice perfectly. no offence annalene. :D

[kmpaint95]

always though Glenda should have been British even in the American version just fitting the snobbishness no offense Brits but for some odd reason i just associate that voice with stuck up bitches. hmmm

[JBLoveSong]

P.S only said it cause people were being mean about Annalene... :(

[JBLoveSong]

right... right.. okay I'm gonna say it... IT'S NOT ANNELENE WHO IS DRAGGING THIS DOWN! IT'S IDINA!! I love Idina Menzel... and I really kind of don't have an opinion on Annalene... (SORRYY) but I'm just daring to say it... now let me be bombarded with IDINA IS THE BEST OBC OBC OBC OBC.... I just don't agree sorry :/

[crazygfish]

When I saw this just two weeks ago, the cast were finding it really hard to keep a straight face at the scene just after the flying house appears! It was really endearing and funny! XD

[qubrown11]

THe difference between their accents makes it sound...off

[adorablelittlecat]

Is it just me or are Wicked always doing charity nights! They did when I was there as well! :) (I mean this in a good way btw! :P)

[iloveabba100]

How is it possible for 'blonde' to be so funny?!

[0Abiio]

@iloveabba100 I think it is just the way that Glinda says so much about elphaba and She just somes her up in one word :)

[icarusbane]

Oh I love Idina's cackle at the end...

[XorangeXmangoXspiceX]

I wish Kristin was there :/

[PossumGeorge]

why is every glinda i see noticeably shorter than the elphie she's acting with? do they plan it or what?

[Emmaprettypink]

@PossumGeorge Elphaba wears heels. :D

[GreatBroadwayFan]

Who is Galinda?

[RorySeizeTheDay]

She's better than Helen Dalimore. They should have had her full time.

[GoneLookingForMyself]

Elphie has a lovely cackle. :)

[xoxodavidtennantxoxo]

Idina's laugh after the BOO made me cry with laughter ;')

[WickedFanJennii]

Annalene <3 <3

[MizzSmileey]

i dont know how idina can perform without kristen...

[XHeliosxXx]

Annalene was lovely.

[RonsGurl82488]

why do they say double 3 double 2 double 3? is it a British thing?

[chipmunkmad08]

0:59 i thought they said there's been some confusion here and shiz XD

[virginiarules510]

I think this was one of Idina's better performances for this song. The riffs and everything were sooooo good compared to the soundtrack.

Also, I love the British chorus in the background. They enunciate every word so well!

[MsLILUN]

annalene was great in B and B

[xPeeriePixiex]

Idina Menzel....My hero, My Inspiration, A GOD!!!, No... She is GOD!! The Queen, I worship her feet, I worship her

[kuragari75]

Idina Menzel = best Elphaba ever!!

[Shoedue]

I chuckled when Menzel said "voice" in an English accent.

[WeCanNeverMeetAgain]

Annalene is amazing!

[alwaysand4everwicked]

so i am not usually an Idina fan, but i love her in this!

[Squirell19]

This song works better when its sung by Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth rather than Idina Menzel and Annalene Beechey performing this song

[thecherrimtree12]

Idina Menzel: BOO! Helen Dallimore: AHH!!! *cackles* I found that part really funny!!! Because of the cackle.

[20JapanezeKid09]

I think Annalene is better than Helen! I wish I saw these too live! <3

[d0ggylover21]

do you know why kristen wasn't there at the time?

[obsessivewickedfan]

@d0ggylover21 well to the start with, it's the london production and kristen never performed in london. the original (and at the time - current) glinda, helen dallimore must have been ill or away which is why the understudy, annalene beechey performed tonight :D

[d0ggylover21]

@obsessivewickedfan OHH okay thanks for the info :P

[DEFiiANCE]

For ages I thought that this was Helen Dallimore as Galinda! Then, I actually got to know the London cast & finally realised! What a plank! :L

Now, I think I've watched Wicked a few too many times (well, okay, twice) 'cos I love watching videos just to spot old ensemble members or whoever! Oliver Tompsett + Sarah Earnshaw :D Was it James Gillan as Boq in this? I can't make it out.

Long comment :] Is there any way to turn off the transcript? It's driving me crazy!!

[obsessivewickedfan]

@DEFiiANCE yes there is :) haha...click on the box bottomright of the video which has a pointing up arrow, then click on the 'cc' box and then you can turn on or off closed captioning x

[20JapanezeKid09]

3:48 lmaooo Annalenes face when she says detestation :P I like the way annalene brings england into the song, I love the american version of wicked so much better than our england version but the way annalene sings it is really good :) Idina the best Elphaba there ever was :)

[vampirelove75]

my problem with this is that this song and all the duets in wicked work better when the glinda and the elphaba have similar voices, and these two do not, they are both great singers but they don't sound very good together.

[strudllekitte339]

i like annalene better than helen

[sc1592]

popopsical...lol

[dolphindreamer95]

it was soo funny when they said zero and oh at the same time - you can soo tell that shes american and the other is english

[defygravitybewicked]

idina menzel and kristin chenoweth are by far the best elphaba and glinda <3 the own! i love them. WOAH. the thumb turns green when you vote up someones comment. vote up this :D go elphie go!!! :D

[40delboy40]

In america when they perform wicked is really good bu not better than the english one though i would have to admit it. And idina did smile at 3:45 lol

[themialangstonchanne]

I prefer the british cast personally

[strudllekitte339]

346 idina smiles

[DelilahJo3]

She's supposed to- Elphaba had just scared Galinda.

[spitandfire]

i think it works with a british person as Glinda (unfortunatley we have a talent for snotty accents) and it works well with Indina's dulcet tones

[pantstelly93]

I agree because the original spoke with a very posh english accent (the movie I mean); it captures her whole up-her-self attitude at this point in her life reeaally well;

it is nicely complimented by Idina's much harsher sounding american accent

a nice balance of "grrrr" and "ooooo"

[lmerry16]

she was smiling at 3:45 and 3:46 but she snapped back!

[lmerry16]

I laughed at the blonde thing too

[Hybrid429]

I hate to sound like a crazy obsessed AB fan whining about this, but I'm going to; why are so many feeling it's necessary to insult Beechey then rave over Cheno (or even miss the insult/comment on AB o_O), if you don't enjoy Annalene's portrayal of the role then why not go leave positive comments on a Cheno clip, instead of being the 100th person to diss AB.

Anyway, I love them all, and can't wait 'til the next time I get to see Wicked :D

*huggles* to all Wickeders

[smallcutie101]

@Hybrid429 true that. i didn't like her at first but she's much better than hellen dillamore. :)

[LizSmiles1]

lol I loved when Idina pointed to her head when they sang "every little trait however small"

[hugh0221]

Ozians = racists!

[pantstelly93]

well they're definitely not green; eco 2020 would be ashamed

[dacatholicbandorgan]

The Chorus Line in the England Cast souds so much differnt from the American Cast.

[smallcutie101]

i really love this glinda!

[francescamusical]

annalene <3

[upload13579]

is it just me or was Idina smiling at 3:45 and 3:46 then suddenly drop back into character at 3:47?

[cosmisstrissXriku]

yes, yes she was

[gemzn]

@upload13579 Yeah i saw that, made me smile haha

[InspiredByLoki]

@upload13579 Yeah she did that, I think it's cute XD

[MultiBelle22]

@upload13579 It's called corpsing - she was trying not to laugh!

[gemzn]

i love how idina said zero instead of "o" =]

[deniserogue]

aw! did Pudsey have a pic with them? i want to see Idina with Pudsey. :)

[NoFunWithoutU]

the chick doing glinda is waay too pommy!

[katie4596ily]

kirsten was funnier in Rochester, NY. but they were still good.

[matticon000]

This isn't kristen it's some other girl

[obsessivewickedfan]

Annalene Beechey - stand-by Glinda at the time

[KeaJaganshi]

:( I didnt get to see the one in Rochester! I just didn't/don't have the money at the time. Did you know they're back? I got an email from DanCap bugging me to buy tickets with the money I don't have lol.

[katie4596ily]

haha yeah they are. my school is going for a field trip. im so excited! haha that sucks. i hope you can get the money for a ticket:)

[tillyboos]

They were a cute Elphie/Glinda match, Annalene should have been the first London Glinda, honestly, so much better than Helen. Idina made Helen look good -- Annalene and Idina were such a better balance vocally.

[DemiSelenaBrittany]

I haven't seen it in Broadway, I've only seen it in London, with Alexis and Diana. I think they're good though. I would love to see it on Broadway too.

[fairix321123]

WHATS WITH THE BEAR IN THE BACKROUND?

[obsessivewickedfan]

it's for a charity tv programme called 'children in need' in britain. it happens every year to raise lots of money for deprived children around the world, people phone in and donate money, and in return, they throw a big long tv programme that lasts all night and lots of musicals and singers and comedians perform :)

[wilkesy83]

The bear is the logo for Children in Need - it's called Pudsey

[legolasdraco2109]

i have a keyring on my house key tht is 2008's pudsey :D

[hater242]

i agree kristin and idina are best

[0xgeorgiax0]

i luv her laugh at the end

[isabelxxxy]

me too! LOL, i saw Wicked last week in London - i loved it. want to go back!!

[GrawnYaa]

i kinda like the glinda in this clip especially how she sounds so posh but no one could ever be as good as kristen with idina.

[KBel20]

i love her laugh at the end of their song

[Nat4Brendan]

You know, I've never been much of a fan of Idina, but I gotta admit she's so fricken cute. xD

Great singer too.

[xTimexWarpx]

I love how at like 3:45 Idina is smiling when she's not suppose to. :)

[defygravity93]

@xTimexWarpx i think she is supposed to be smiling because she just kind of scared glinda...and she thought that was funny :)

[20JapanezeKid09]

@xTimexWarpx lmaoo I thought she ment to! :L silly me, because galinda is dancing and elphie innterupts her and she is happy about it :P 

[imtomatofairy]

@xTimexWarpx right before that its hard to see from above, if you look carefully, she scared Annalene like at the end.

[TheSkittleNut]

@xTimexWarpx She's playing Elphaba she has a reason to smile.....

[kanumbra]

without kristen chenowith theres just something missing!

[thenewgurlintown]

i know there is!

[cnfuzdn4getful]

I don't really like the Galinda in this one...

It's hard to listen to Idina sing without Kristen Chenowith...Maybe its just me. They sounded so GOOD together!! XD

[thenewgurlintown]

true true

[fantasyrave666]

they are filming it with the orgional cast

[iLoveMusic1011]

oh yes. í'm also really want it to see. but i'm from austria :/

[iLoveMusic1011]

i love when idina laugh at 3:46

[meganplautz]

it's all really good, i haven't seen it yet but i really want to!

[vaszaushoss]

Are you seeing it with Idina as Elphie?

[Poweress1995]

I am sorry, and people dont get mad, but I havent seen the musical and I have to know, are they just friends? Or do they want some kind of relationship?

[firegoat]

lol no, they become love rivals later

[vaszaushoss]

They hate each other, than they become friends and then get in a fight over a boy, and they end up fighting laterr which is one of the best parts:)

[Littlestraincloud]

There is romantic tension, yes.

[vaszaushoss]

It was honestly the most hilarious thing I've ever seen! It was soooooo good!! I could see it over and over and over again! You'll have soooo much fun. :)

[sweetpoisonapple]

I saw this back in march, i promise you your in for a wonderful night!

[viesha119]

Annalene was actually pretty good!

of course Idina was remarkable (as always)

but Annalene was better than i expected they were great together. but i still don't say she is better than Kristin but shes good. lol

i really like the Idina & Kristin duo!

[rayrayhelene]

kristen is MUCH better! but i think its the duo between american and british accent that makes this song not as good as it usually is

[xXxXxcozzaxXxXx]

Love Idina's laugh at the end of the song xD thanks 4 the upload

[EverEnchanted]

Dianne Pilkington is AMAZING as Kristen. So is Kerry Ellis as Elphaba. I think that they are almost like our version of Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth.

[hannah3z]

kristin is sooo much better

[ciscobabi2848]

y didnt they use kristen chenowith??

[AniLutu]

She left that year and Idina went on to England for this benefit.

[tinngrinn]

Kristin was in the Broadway cast, This is the London cast.

[drjax1994]

Idina did the show in london for the original cast, too.

[saguaroangel]

I <3 Idina Menzel. I have to say, though, in the original cast album, Kristin's and Idina's voices are equally strong, but Idina's overrides Annalene's a little bit.

[sweetnsexii777]

I LOVE IDINA MENZEL! she's amazing in this and rent and enchanted...she's so amazing

[bballplayer9294]

omg me too!

[TeDdYBoObOo]

the blonde one over acts

she didnt ring true at all

[joyceyxx]

love kristin more though!!

xxx

[tooter102]

dude, at first it sounds like they love each other, then they hate each other XD

[alex20kirk]

yes they're quite good, i like Annalene better than Helen, but they're not good together.

But Annalene is overdoing glinda's part, shes not as "bouncy" as the other glindas.

[freakageek]

You can see that they're trying not to smile near the end XD

[Selendomono]

i know this sint really relevant to the performance (which is good) but that stage is SO ugly.

[IsabellaHuntington]

they are both good but i don't think they are good together, because when they were singing at the same time, u could only hear idina.

[loserdude97]

yeah i agree... and glinda is like, british in this one!

[IsabellaHuntington]

i knonw, their weird together

[krudge]

and...?

Is there a problem with british? Seeing as Oz a world of fantasy they could have any number of accents =P

[loserdude97]

no... lol it just surprised me :P

[2RandomGirls]

Would have been better with Kristin. Why wasn't she there?

[LauraBellLuver]

This was the London cast.

[obsessivewickedfan]

and it's the understudy glinda as well. I don't know where Helen was.

[Ravencroft77]

I think she's better than Helen.

[obsessivewickedfan]

annalene's alright but i dunno, she wasn't as funny as others. i have to say my favourite - apart from kristin, was annaleigh ashford. she just made me laugh so so much.

[Ravencroft77]

Megan Hilty is my personal favourite.

[mote65]

Kristin is my all time favorite, she's the original, and it's really hard to listen to anyone else sing that part...

[MSgirl25]

i wonder if it was weird for idina to do this without kristin

[OHSOentertaining]

as much as i love Annalene, I have to say i love Kristin more. :)

[SarahIdinaPhreakx3]

ITS ALL ABOUT IDINA =]

[k9feces]

Annalene is so cute, this is my favorite Wicked Performance on Youtube.
