  • I don't know why but I love the way she yells Fiyero.

  • Elphie's relationship with Fiyero is so beautiful. Yes, it was an affair, but for both of them to be in love for the first time is so touching. They risked their lives to see eachother. This book, this musical, is one of the best plot lines out there. I can't put it down.

  • ack!!!! witch!!!!

  • gotta love ephie...even when she turns into the WW of the W (*WW of the W*= wicked witch of the west) and personally, i like the wicth elphie as much, if not more than, normal(what would you call normal@__________@) elphie.

  • @seattlegirl14 I love how you wrote WW of the W and then decided to explain what you meant... surely it would have been easier just to write wicked witch of the west :P

  • 2:02 my favorite part! fiyerooo...FIYYYEERRROOOOOO!!

  • Oh my, I just sung this and you know what? I can sing all the notes O.O

  • NOOOOOO! Elphabas gone evil, well no not really

  • Musical is so much better than the book.

  • This song is my favorite from Wicked, the other one is Defying Gravity. Hell, I love all of the Elphie songs! :D

  • first note: 6 seconds

    last note: 12 seconds

    IDINA YOU'RE AMAZING <3

  • @magicpoptarts202 The First note is super easy but the second one is hard !! I Could even say anything after holding it 8 seconds !!

  • @MrCupcakeboy123 I agree. The second one is ridiculously hard. I think the first one is easy because its more of a yell. You don't have to worry about "singing" as much..Not to mention the note in the middle!

  • 6 people will do a good deed.

  • Who else can hold these notes?

  • @ulltraBLONDE me!

  • @teacup918 then you, my friend, are awesome.

  • @ulltraBLONDE lol

  • @teacup918 :) no seriously my sisters cant carry a tune in a bucket so when i meet other people who can actually sing im like "Save me from these screeching vultures".

  • @ulltraBLONDE that's really funny! XD

  • @teacup918 :) good. i love making people laugh. unfortunately for my sisters, they are usually the butt of my jokes, which then becomes unfortunate for me because they like to team up and get me back later.

  • @ulltraBLONDE lolololololololol

  • @ulltraBLONDE i can :)

  • FIYEROOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

  • is it a movie

  • @GaiaGirl2468 Uh, no! It's a Broadway musical that is AWESOME but it was based off of a book (which, by the way, so totally want!) by some guy.

  • @mdcrox247 is it a good play

  • @GaiaGirl2468 I guess. I've never seen it, but the songs and casting are ah-mazing!

  • @GaiaGirl2468I've seen it. it is absolutely amazing.completely changed everything about the wizard of oz. the lion, the tinman, the scarecrow wow.....

  • @LPPACSdancer I so going to see it when it comes to santa clara

  • @mdcrox247 The book is good but its a hard read for most. Also, it really isn't like the wizard of oz at all. But feel free to try the book

  • @GaiaGirl2468 It's an amazing play. And while it's not a movie now, it will be in 2014.

  • @Zibani Wait wait wait. A MOVIE?!???! I'm not sure I want that/: not unless they get AMAZING people in it!!!

  • @Zibani 2014? you dont say? where did you hear this? if this is true i wonder if it too will be a musical or if it will be more book based?

  • I've always thought this was the climax...I've never seen the musical but I love the songs!

  • @KenzeyMac

    lol yes she is amazing :P

  • I love this, Ive seen the play 4 times and I cry everytime! :,)

  • Comment removed

  • I love this,and I'm not bragging,but I can hold the note at the end longer than she can! In fact,I'm sure a lot of you people can. Just-in the little pause before "again" at the end-clear your mouth of excess saliva,and take a deep breath!

  • @vexenlover4444 No she can hold a note very long, its just that she cant in this because the lyrics dont call for that. Idina Menzel is the best Elphaba Ever! The Original Cast of Wicked are the best, Better than anyone who had ever played! Lol Way to change the subject.

  • ive been repeating this song for probably 30mins and that is just right now all day i have been repaeting it to i wish youtube had a repeat button

  • i love the begginging of this song when she is saying the spell

  • I think Wicked and Wizard of Oz kind of goes hand in hand in a way. It shows how they got to be the evil/good person they are in the movie, like showing how loss and pain effects what you turn into ^^

  • @randompeacegirl well acording to wicked the wicked witch of the west wasnt realy bad at all the only bad thing she did in wicked was turn all of those monkeys into spys but she was tricked into doing that

  • I think both the Wizard of Oz and Wicked are amazing. I don't think it's right to say one is better than the other. I prefere the storyline and characters of Wicked but I still love Dorothy! But of course this is just my opinion.

    :3

  • omg dudes this is the most amazing song in the whole musical. who agrees?

  • @softball9890 i do of course

  • I have just one criticism at 3:49

  • This is full of so much emotion. I really wrenches my heart when she yells Fiyero in such anguish.

  • Let me list why Wicked is better than The Wizard Of Oz:

    The protagonist is more interesting

    The characters do actually have personalities

    There are more complications

    The songs are more meaningful and catchy

    Also, it's really easy to like Elphaba compared to Dorothy. Maybe it's because Elphaba is misunderstood or easy to sympathize with, but she's also strong-minded, fiery, smart, and kind.

  • @jazzykid1 Well The Wizard of Oz was a childrens story from the 1930s, the guy then took Oz and turned it into a 3 dimentional world so naturally the characters are fleshed out more then the book

  • @jazzykid1 Plus, dorothy was an annoying twit to me even before seeing Wicked. She does nothing but whine. This sort of clinched it lol

  • BriqhtEvedSouldSister, you're absolutely right. My little sister saw The Wizard of Oz and was talking about how cool it was and I'm just like.... "Darling, let me show you something." Wicked is so so SO much better!

  • @Misoraheart08 Thx I must've not heard right. and yes i've seen the show :P its awesome

    

  • <3 idina menzel!!!!!

  • Wow, very powerful song, and very good might I add

  • i saw the one in london and i have to say the girls voice  in london was much better!

  • Comment removed

  • @Misoraheart08 I thought Nessa tried to make his heart bigger and failed.

  • @Akruma100 she did

  • That was awsome thanks for uploading it.!!! :)

  • i love this song and its even better since i get to sing it with my choir

  • Just saw it....absolutely AMAZING!!!! XD

  • What's Wicked even about? Ik im insane for never seeing it, but i havent, now i want to thanks to Glee.<3

  • @justinshawty15 it's like a prequel of sorts to :the wizard of oz," explaining about who the good witch and the wicked witches of the west and east were. it's really good. there's a book as well. you should go watch it if you get the chance :]

  • why were they going to hurt fiyero?

  • @samosa2003 because fiyero was trying to save elphaba, who the guards were trying to catch.

  • totally amazing. I am going to be her one day i swear it with the whole of youtube as my witness!!!

  • OMGZ, I LUV HER VOICE!!!!!! One of my favorite singers, indeed!

  • I feel breathless listening to this

  • I think this is my favorite Wicked song

  • i watched this when i was 10 and i wished i payed more attention to it because i frikin love this. mosly this song. now i am reading it

  • i know what i'm about to say isn't about the song but how do you post videos someone please tell me and this song is gr8888888888888888888888888888­8888

  • @babybunnylover01 You see by the search bar of YouTube? To the right? There's Browse, then Movies, then Upload. Click upload, and you'll come to a new page where it says "Upload Video" (button) or "Record from Webcam" Click Upload video and browse through until you find it. Make sure to save everything on it! You can change the title too while it's uploading if you scroll down.

  • I need suggestions on which song I should sing for an audition for my school play "Anything Goes". I would like to sing a song from Wicked, I would prefer the part of Reno Sweeney, and I am twelve years old. I've been told I'm a spectacular singer, and a superb actress, so, just give me suggestions of songs from Wicked (or any musical really!) as long as they have high notes and have a moment to show off your voice. Thank you to those you give me suggestions! I need them VERY much....Thank you!!

  • @GagaNumber1Monster Phantom of the Opera - it fits what you want.

  • I luv this song but if u listen to the soundtrack and the live version the sound track is not near as intense as the live version.

  • this song gives me chills..especially when she sings fiyero..and then screams it..:D

  • Idina Menzel <3

  • amazing loved it know it by heart. is there a movie

  • i love the play. can't wait for the movie. But the book is so much better and its nothing like the play. still love it. in the play she turns Fiyro into the scarecrow but in the book she just belives that he is but he really has been dead the whole time and he is supposed to be BLUE!!!

  • Dang can she hold a note or what!?!?!?!

  • @morboroshichan that last one was like a good 11 or 12 seconds!

  • hahahahaha!

  • she saved the lion from shiz the tin man is nick chopper it was his axe that mad him like that and yes the scarecrow is fiyero and yes it she did it

  • @743magma I thought it was Boq she turned into the tin man.

  • @awesomer3 no boq marrys a s&m oddsesed dowf girl they have a farm

  • I just watched this yesterday...IT WAS FREAKING AMAZING! The whole show is like,

    "Step aside, Wizard of Oz! Wicked's gonna show you how it's done!" Even my mom (who was skeptical at first) agreed it was way better.

    Dorothy Gale, eat your heart out.

  • @BrightEyedSoulSister Um... I don't really think so.... I love them BOTH equally!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 OZ

  • @eviemist123 just... ouch! Dx I already knew it, but yet, FRKN' OUCH!!!

  • i love this song! ps check out we r who we r jason sanders!!!

  • Idina is just...wow

  • How did Nessa die?

  • @courtneyluvsglee She got crushed by the house Dorothy arrived in, I believe. 

  • @eviemist123 Yikes, bad way to go :L

  • SPOILER:

    In the book version of "Wicked" Elphaba was starting a resistance. Fieryo is killed in a surprise attack for being her lover. So, seeing as he lives in the end of the play, I like the play better :)

  • @rtn5021 Oh, thanks!

  • Sure, I meant well - but look at what "well meant" did.

  • rachel tucker did this amazingly on the west end yesterday! loved every second of it :)

  • What happened to Dr. Dillamond? I forget. XP

  • @courtneyluvsglee SPOILER - Lots of guards come and try to get Elphaba, but Fiyero protects her and fights the guards off, but he gets taken by the guards in the process. Elphaba knows that they'll hurt him to get information and for helping her, so she turns him into a scarecrow to prevent him feeling any pain when they hurt him/beat him. So, she did it because she loved him and didn;t want him to feel any pain because of her. Hope this helps :)

  • FIIIIYYYEEEERRRRROOOOOOOO!!!! <3

  • Ok whats happened? I missed this bit because we had to take my little sister home, last thing I saw they were singing a romantic song, what did he do? xx

  • YES. I GOT THAT ENDING NOTE. WOO! Personal achievement! :)

  • @eviemist123 lol well done, she makes this sound so easy to sing...but its really not ¬.¬ xx

  • I love this song!!!!!!!!!! I think it's my fav from Wicked

  • My favorite song from Wicked. Thanks for the lyrics ^_^

  • Whats this song about? xx

  • The last line I almost finished, and I thought I was gonna make it, and then I ran out of air :P xx

  • @wishinandhopin14 I made it...didnt think i was going to LOL

  • @SailaCullen101 haha good for you ;)

  • @SailaCullen101 I can do it everytime, and it always feels like a huge accomplishment! Haha

  • @wishinandhopin14 wow it was easy for me maybe mom was right saying that i have iron lungs when it came to singing/screaming lol

  • @mocahuma ahahaha lol :P

  • I want to see this so bad. Heard all the songs now...Love, Love, Love! Yesterday was addicted to Popular. Today am addicted to No Good Deed. =') cept my mum doesnt want to see it and i'm only 14 :S will have to make do with awesome songs, decent film, and the book...

  • the chanting strikes me like a knife

  • Idina has such a great voice

  • omg, i just wanna cry every time she crys Fiyero's name!!

  • oh my god, i have to see this play somehow now, i've always wanted to see this play but never got a chance to or even heard a song from it other then popular, but eveyone told me that if i just heard one song hear no good deed, this is the first time i heard it and i do not regret it, if the rest of the play is anything like this i'll be adding this in my top three favroit playsxD

  • @mangaluver2010 hey u could always do what i do...read the play not the book the play.the book is BIG!

  • @tophrocks96 yeah i was going to try that, thanks sweety^//U//^ but i didn't know that there was a book about wicked o.o

  • SPOILER - I've seen the musical done professionally and she did turn him into the scarecrow. It's part of the spell. "Let his bones never break, Let his blood leave no stain." By the way SHe turned her sister's love interest into the Tin Man and a lion cub into the Cowardly Lion.

  • @prepilitsa Yeah, nice knowledge =)

  • @elphielover247 thanks

  • @elphielover247 it truly is cause i dint understand how he became a scarecrow

  • @prepilitsa That Lion didn't have to turn into a coward. She simply saved him so he could learn to speak, because caged animals will never learn to speak.

  • @prepilitsa Why did she do that to her sister's lover interest?

  • @EnviedCure776 Because Nessa (her sister) got angry with Boq (her love interest) and said a spell to make his heart disappear. She succeeded and then begged Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West) to reverse the spell, but she couldn't, so she turned him into the Tin Man so he wouldn't need his heart anymore. Hope that helps.

  • @TribeStarz Thanks!

  • @prepilitsa but her sister was about to kill her own love interest because the one she loved actually love glinda

  • @pika4999

    I thought it was because Nessa - her sister - pretty much said "If I can"t have him no one can!" So sh took his heart away so he could no longer love anyone.

  • @prepilitsa acutally in the book Wicked the little cub is an animal who can talk but was taken away from his mother when he was young therefore when he was older he became the cowardly lion other than that your knowledge is impressive

  • @yeyyesa That was in the book, though, and I believe prepilitsa was talking about the musical :).

  • @dinosaursrocksohard yea i was talking about the musical ive never read the book i didnt know there was one but i will definately check it out

  • @prepilitsa its suuuuuper good i havent been able to see the musical yet but the book just oh goodness is amazing. totally different endings though. and its much more in depth. check it out :)

  • Comment removed

  • @prepilitsa and elphaba is the daughter of the wizard of OZ

  • @prepilitsa actually her sister turned her sister's love interesrt into the tin man

  • @prepilitsa they didn't. I saw it 3 months ago. Not the original cast, and the guards turned him into a scarecrow.

  • @MBetsyW Elphaba made fiyero a scarecrow. During the finale Fiyero even says "you did the best you could" and the whole chant is to stop him dying.

  • SPOILER- Technically Nessa turned him into the Tin Man by saying that spells Elphie just tried to turn him back

  • @grory14 Nessa turned Boq into the tin man. Elphie turned Fiyero into the scarecrow. get your facts right.

  • @FF7RLZ actualy, nessa was angry that boq didn't want to stay with her and that he wanted to go with Glinda so she took Elphie's spell book to make sure that no other woman could have his heart and it wound up removing his heart completely and so to save his life Elphie had to cast a new spell so that he would be able to live without having a heart so then he would not die from Nessa's mistake, that is why he is the tin man and that is why he has no heart.

  • @prepilitsa you dont have to see the play to know that, just read the books.

  • i heard some kid singing this in the drama room it was breathtaking

  • Eleka nahmen nahmen ahtum ahtum nahmen nahmen ahtum ahtum eleka-eleka ugh!!!!

  • why did she say nessa, doctor dillamond and fiyero?

    (thanks. i don't really know the story)

    and thanks 4 the video, btw!

  • @gussiegander Nessa is her sister (she's also the WIcked Witch of the East) who was killled by Dorothy. Doctor Dillamond was her teacher at her college, but because he was a Goat, he was arrested for teaching. Fiyero is the love of her life, who was arrested for being with her. She blames herself for all of their deaths or disappearances.

  • @BriShain In the book he was killed, no?

    I think, haven't read it in forever!

  • @gussiegander because they were all the people whom she had lost that she loved

  • @gussiegander

    Nessarose aka Nessa Is Her Sister

    Dr Dillamond Was Her Goat Teacher

    Fiyero Is Her Love Interest

    Your Welcome!

  • Oh wicked. I am counting down the days untill i can see you again when i go to America . Over a year and a half. I live in australia, wicked came to my city once, i saw it and it was the best night of my life. <3 Best song! <3

  • I freaking LOVE this song!!!!!!!!! i wish i could sing like that :'(

  • Comment removed

  • i can relate to this song....i promised myself no more good deeds because something always goes wrong when i do a good deed i'm now known by the people who have seen The Wizard of Oz at all they call me the wicked witch of the west.i just sit in my room all day unless to eat and etc and only to go to school and etc. in the school year..

  • @josephJonaslovebug

    you can say that again!!!!!! and btw my second name is joseph aha :p

  • Gives me goosebumps. Such disillusionment expressed here...

  • this song is addciting

    it relates to my life

  • This song is genious.

    Idina is truely amazing.

  • This is grand prize!! Idina is the best. I've GOT to see this show!!

  • Can all these people just stop arguing? No matter how much you argue your point, you'll only make yourself look worse. It doesn't make you look smart, it makes you look annoying. And, in case anyone asks, I'm not taking sides. That wouldn't be worth it.

  • What a nice video and song!

  • The witch returns, she always returns.

  • you know what i find extremely funny and extremely annoying at the same time?

    complete strangers arguing over something unrelated to a video, then elaborating on that arguement with more pointless points in that arguement.

    just saying: ENJOY THE FREAKING VIDEO!!

    btw; great vid elphielover247 =)

  • @MusicIsMyLife73098 Thank you. A voice of reason haha.

  • omg i loved this musical i just wish someone would make a film out of this... and a good one like moulin rouge... *sigh*

  • @MeggieRox1996 They are in the process of making one, although it won't be out until 2013 :(

  • @Wickedlymiserables at least they are gonna make one :)

  • @MeggieRox1996 I can't wait. :)

  • My friend showed me this song and now I can't wait to see Wicked!!

  • @elphielover247 look you i am 13 please dont be mean to me because my dads very protective and he will not let me talk to anyone on here so may u please shut up :) x please ;)

  • Okay..Soo me and my best friend were listening to the announcements at the beginging of class one day and our teacher was saying "No good deed..." and then waited for an answer and without thinking I blurted out "GOES UNPUNISHED!!!" ....sooo yea, I got laughed at but my friends (whom I listen to these song everyday with) thought it was pretty cool....Hehehe but now that I think about it, it was pretty funny.

  • @elphielover247 Aint dat da truf lol.

  • @kijoto12 XD
