  • FIND WHO PUT THIS STANKY HO MUSIC TO THIS VIDEO AND KICK EM IN THE BALLZ. WE'S DON'T NEED THIS SHIT.

  • What the hell does this music have to do with the wizard of oz? This sucks.

  • I love this.:):):)

  • the wicked witch is HOT;)

  • @XxxPrincessAllyxxX she really is wicked. When Dorothy melted her with water, she said,"How could a little girl like you destroy my beautiful *wickedness*!!!"

    just my view though )O(

  • @WitchesForTheWin: Yeah, but in the Wicked novel, she actually became wicked once Dorothy plopped in, because she was slowly slipping into madness, much like the rest of her broken family.

  • This is the real wicked witch of the west...she really is wicked!

  • Randompumpkin, you could have chosen a much better 'song' to pay tribute to the Wicked Witch of the West (i.e. Margaret Hamilton, who should've gotten an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress). "My Prerogative" sucks!

    A much better song would be "I Want It All" by the rock group Queen. It's much more in line with what was going on inside the original Witch's head.

  • thats wat i call a witch! but i forgot her name oh glinda looks like a fairy

  • Margaret Hamilton was so great in this role.  She scared the bejesus out of me as a kid. Bravo and RIP. :)

  • Whats the song that plays when the witch comes on?

  • I like the Wicked Witch.

  • @Thearl I always found her SEXY!!

  • She played that roll too good

  • i love wicked, i can't watch the wizerd of oz the same way again! lol eplphaba was my fav in this mvie when i wss little even though she scared the crap out of me so wicked it pretty much the best thing ever!

    the wicked witch will NEVER be dead :)

  • @youngandforever i can't watch the wizard of oz full stop. every time i see margaret hamilton in the green makeup i want to hurl. i love wicked that much

  • Great video! Love the Witch:)

  • that was very good :D

  • Leave Elphie alone! Shes only Green.

  • Elphie isn't evil..... IT'S DOROTHY AND HER DOG WITH THE FALSE TEETH WHO ARE EVIL!!!!!!!

  • Is not that she just didn't love her son, she just never felt it was necesary for him, besides she wasn't even sure if he was her son. I think she was so involved in trying to fix the world that she ignored the people who weren't usefull for the cause at the time.

  • Would you believe Hamilton was a teacher before she made movies like this?! Boy those kids probably never acted bad to avoid this side of her xD.

  • Bloody hell all this talk is confusing for someone who hasn't read the book.

    Quitt complicating things!!!

    MY HEAD WILL EXPLODE!!

    Lol XD

    I'm just gonna stick with Wizard of OZ for now. Maybe read "Wicked" later.

  • I was sad, that she died in the end, but she was evil in the end, so she was like in the Wizard of Oz, but I prefer the musical too, because she isn't wicked, and she doesn't die in the end.

  • i prefer the musical because

    1: Elphaba lives and isn't really wicked.

    2: Fiyero lives.

    3: Elphaba and Glinda's friendship lasts till the end of the musical.

    4: It's hilarious and I'm completely obsessed!

  • @elphabagalindafiyero so so so with you

    i have listened to nothing on my ipod since i saw wicked over six months ago. I've seen the show twice and read the book and the musicals better.

  • @elphabagalindafiyero i am obbsessed too!

  • @elphabagalindafiyero WICKED!!!!!!!! My favorite musical! My dream is to play Glinda in Wicked.

  • ok, i have loved the witch since before wicked, and i have read the books (baum, and maguirre, even Son of a Witch) imo, the witch (elphie) whoever, was wicked, but maguirres novel helps us know WHY, her lover was murdered, she had an awful childhood, and never once even loved her own son. the musical makes her "misunderstood" the books theme is "are people born evil, or do they have wickedness thust upon them?" Why was the witch evil? how did she learn magic, how did she get her castle?

  • Without getting into the Wicked book, I still was cheering the witch...I mean if someone dropped a house on your sister and pulled the ghetto move of stealing their shoes of her dead body, there would have been bloodshed.

  • Elphaba was good but misguided because of her determination not to allow other people to help her. GLENDA was evil, self-absorbed, and vain. Not to mention her outfit in this video is RIDICULOUS ! Read "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire. Rock on Elphaba !

  • If you like Wicked try reading what it was based off of. The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz. That's a good book.

  • i have read it, and most of the rest of the oz series. and they are TERRIBLE! all the villians and heroes are sissies (with the exception of the wicked witch of the west: aka, elphaba). no offense to baum or the others who continued his work

  • Well, you have to keep in mind that the Oz series that Baum started was started in the 1900s so he wrote during the time period. He was going to start and end with The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz but kids wanted more. So he wrote more for the kids.

    Sure they are somewhat corny and boring at times but they're still a classic series.

  • Not to mention, cannon. Wicked is good, but I tend to think of it more as big-budget fanfiction. Some people can't seem to seperate the two of them, though.

  • Glinda never turned against Elphie, even when Elphie stole her man!! (Okay, so she did for that short period, but still.)

    Glinda is a much better character in the musical Wicked. I mean, she takes Elphie, promises to make her popular, and even when Elphie doesn't show any thankfulness, Glinda stays by her side!!! Cut her some slack!!

  • To sugar4585: GROW UP !

  • Aw, thanks!

  • Her name is ELPHABA!!!! She was only looking out for her sister. She is not wicked by any means.

  • i love the witch, she is good inside she just wants somthing to remind her of her sister, i'd be angry lol. she isnt wicked, just misunderstood

  • only if you look at it from the WICKED point of view

  • WICKED is like a fanfic. The Wicked Witch is not misunderstood, she's just rotten.

  • exactly!:)

  • @Randompumpkin Wicked totally destroyed The Wizard of Oz. It just didn't make sense at all and it didn't actually explain why and how she became wicked. It was all too rushed. The book explains it better but even so, it goes off at a tandrum, having nothing to do with the original story. Also I prefer Glinda being all classy and posh whilst in Wicked they made her stupid and and indecisive. I tnink real Oz fans should stick to the original because they'll just end up being disappointed.

  • @CascadaaXx Wicked Is the Story of the Wicked Witch of the West, she was brutally picked on as a child, i dont blame her for being Wicked.

    Although i dont like she was going to drown ToTo

  • @chrisorignal Says Gregory Maguire? Who is he to decide the intentions of L. Frank Baum's characters?

  • @CascadaaXx The Wizard of Oz has b een in the public domain since the 50s. So I guess we're allowed to do what we want with the characters now...

  • @GoddessofCoruscant You completely missed my point. I'm not saying that no one should touch the classics, I'm saying that Maguire's version of the Wicked Witch is like a bad fan fiction than a legitimate interpretation. However that applies more to the musical than the actual book.

  • @CascadaaXx ok I get it now. Thanks for explaining.

  • @CascadaaXx: "I'm saying that Maguire's version of the Wicked Witch is like a bad fan fiction than a legitimate interpretation."

    In YOUR opinion. Others can respectfully disagree, since Wicked actually follows the movie well, but ONLY if you use the novel as your source, as opposed to the musical, which--despite the brilliant score--made everything too Disney-like.

  • Comment removed

  • @XxxPrincessAllyxxX the witch threatened to kill dorthy if youll recall

  • @XxxPrincessAllyxxX damn , who are you? dr.phil?

  • I hate that damn stupid music, what crap!!!! Cant they just let the original go with the scene...

  • omg! has anyone seen the advert here in england that has the wicked witch doing the orange wednesday thing! i couldnt stop lauhging!

  • actually the fire wasnt supposed to happen. her cape caught fire and she serverly burned her face and arms and hands. the director, victor flemming, liked the fire so he kept it in the film

  • When she disappears and the fire blows up above her, the actress, Margaret Hamilton, severely burned her hand.

  • i don't get it

  • ok i have a question... what did she spell in the air with her broom?

  • SURRENDER DOROTHY

  • my prerogative by britney spears

  • what song is this

  • This is so cool

  • fu**in love the witch

    u go girl

  • Great song, great clips, a great video to my favorite film villain of all time! Thanks :)

  • Of that beams it is the straw of his(her,your) broom?

  • I love the Wicked Witch, and I've never seen Wicked. I love Margaret Hamilton's interpretation.

  • If you love the Wicked Witch, don't see wicked. She won't be wicked anymore.

  • Is there a movie version?

  • wat? wicked is the best give it a chance and if u know anything she does end up being wicked.

  • go see wicked. its the greatest

  • i have, but I like the wizard of oz better

  • I enjoyed your video.. the music was great along with the scenes. The wicked witch of the West was a big influence on me... I'm now 47 and was terrified of her as a child, but HAD to watch!

  • this song fits elphie to perfection, nicely done!

    oh, and Randompumpkin, did you love the wicked witch of the west before or AFTER you saw wicked, cause for me it was after...

  • me, it was before

  • i find how its so weird how the witch of the wests personality changes between wicked and the film. its so odd

  • i don't think it should have. I think towards the end of Wicked, she should have turned Wicked. She sort of does in the book.

  • well actually in wicked she acts wicked after they pronoucne as the wicked witch of the west, but msot of the scenes where wtih glinda, which shes frined with, so she wouldnt be wicked to glinda. also, in the the wizard of oz, the wizard is good, but in wicked, its like another side of the story where the wizard is actaully evil.

  • this is so well done!! :)

  • Thank you sarmiento for ruining the ending for me Im reading "Wicked" now!

  • the wicked witch of the west is actully a good friend of glinda the good...and the wicked witch (effie) isn't evil...she dies...but her lover..the scarcrow..revives her...she was only missunderstood...watch the wicked musical..it explains it all...the wizzard of oz musical shows the story from that girl..dont remember her name...hehe..side....and wicked shows effies and glindas side of the story...:D

  • btw its elphie not effie

  • 1. It's ELPHIE not Effie, where on earth did you get Effie from?

    2. She doesn't DIE, were you not paying attention the the musical at all??!!! She faked it, and Fiyero just came and let her out of the hidden trap-door. He didn't revive her... Fiyero even says: 'YOU CAN COME OUT NOW, THEY FELL FOR IT!', honestly...

    Sorry I don't normally get this annoyed but how could you miss them main character's name and the whole hollywood ending of the story???!!! Jeez Louise!

  • Well she does die in the book. And Fiyero's not the Scarecrow, Boq's not the Tin Man.

  • You don't know that!

  • really? does she die in the book and does all that not happen in the book? i really MUST read the book!!!

  • elleruth obviously you havent read the sequel to the Wicked book she doesnt die! sorry to ruin the ending if you are planning on reading it.

  • elleruth obviously you havent read the sequel to the Wicked book she doesnt die! sorry to ruin the ending if you are planning on reading it.

  • I don't know what sequel you read but Elphie dies in "Wicked" and she doesn't come back. Fiyero still dead too. The sequel is based on her son, Liir and her brother Shell. Obviously you didn't read it either.

  • did you miss the part in the book when it said "Elphie is ALIVE!!!" just wait until Gregory Maguire releases the third you'll see!

  • You should learn to read. Nor was writing on the walls and buildings "Elphaba Lives". The spirit of Elphaba lives on even though she didn't. People are now seeing the evil of the Wizard. Elphie saw it and did everything she could to save the Animals. People are learning that she wasn't Wicked, it was the Wizard. So anyway, while Liir is walking around w/ the cape and broom, where is Fabula? Hiding out in Kiomo Ko for all those years? (BTW, the third book is about the Cowardly Lion).

  • Omg, we're talking about the musical. Yes, I'm aware she dies in the book, I've read it. But stop trying to be clever and keep up with the conversation.

  • zuzpetals: Who's to say Elphie DIDN'T get revived ala the 90's toon that did just that...revived her from her liquidated state?

  • I did read the book thank you... but we're talking anbout them musical, please keep up or don't post comments.

  • hahahaha i <3 you.

  • Watch Wicked the Musical, it explains it all xD Of course, I don't wanna give any of the plot away!

  • Yes you must see WICKED. IT is AMAZING!!!!

  • I have seen the musical!

  • What song is this????

  • My Perogative by Britney Spears

  • Thank u

  • SHE'S MY FAVORITE CHARACTOR TOO!

  • LMAO.. what a tribute. there's something very intriguing and beautiful about the antagonist side of the bad characters in every movie, they're the ones who spice up the whole thing. it actually makes you kinda adore them lol!!!!!!

  • Watching this movie when i was younger i always liked Glinda and hated the wicked witch and after seeing wicked i feel a little sorry for Elphaba but Glinda still rocks :P

  • Awesome video! I am in the middle of "Wicked" right now. Great perspective on how she is misunderstood. I think a lot of people can relate to that. The video is quite complementary.

  • why the song?????

  • wat is this song?

  • My Perogative

  • elphie using a spears song that just doesnt work

    dont catagorize elphaba with that "witch"

  • i base it on the Wizard of Oz, not Wicked

  • I'm calling brittney spears the witch

  • Poor Elphie :(

  • wtf, why did those soldiers run away when the witch came.

    And i find this whole movie creepy. I remember watching it with my dad when he told me that the munchkin hung himself and he showed me. I haven't been the same sincelol

  • @Legend28x That was a crane. It wasn't a munchkin hanging himself. Look up the video on youtube. There are some that have close ups of it and you can tell it was a large bird, not a munchkin hanging himself.

  • the flying monkeys scare me a little

  • When i saw the movie i was happy that the witch melted, but when i saw wicked, i felt so bad for Elphaba.

  • when i saw wicked, i wish she melted

  • Random: Why? Elphie was insane for the most part and thus, was always a little...messed in the head, but she always strived to do right until she became the very thing she claimed she wasn't (wicked) in order to set things right in her twisted mind.

  • i think it would at least keep a part of the original story in tact

  • For fans...I'd just say that Elphaba WAS nice and DID go insane to prove her "Wicked"ness. As to her demise, I'd also say that Elphie DID die, but that she--like all witches--will ALWAYS come back, just like in the 90's toon (and later, the musical adaptation of "Wicked").

  • I love Elphaba! The Wicked Witch was my favorite character as a kid even though I didn't know anything about Wicked then!

  • me too!:D

  • Margaret Hamilton will not be forgotten. What a wonderful actress. Her voice, facial expression, etc. in that film were so great.

  • i want a flying monkey pet

  • me too!

  • Kick ass! I love Margret Hamilton, she roxorz!!!!!!

  • i love WICKED and the wizard of oz

  • wen i was lil i h8ed the wickd witch coz she was all scary n ugly, but i h8ed dorothy 2 coz she was a MURDERER! wel in "wicked" elphaba totaly rox n im getin confused coz i luvd her in that coz she was nice n kerry ellis had an amazin voice n was reli prety. but now i go back n watch this i stil dont like her coz she looks mad n fugly.... wicked is like the best musical eva!woooo! ok i'd beta shhhh now....

  • I thought I was teh only one who had the witch as my favorite hehe , I mtottaly obsessed , but my favorite witch ever would have to be Winifred Sanderson.

  • I knew Maggie Hamilton well!

    We meet in 1977 and we remained good

    friends..until some time before her death

    in 1985.

  • That sucks...I wish I could have met her, but I wasn't even around by 85, I showed up in 88 :(

  • wats this song

  • Paroitive

  • My Perogative by Britney Spears

  • and this is my favourite movie i always use to watch it when i was younger :)

  • it's really quite confusing now because when elphaba escaped from the guards and pretended to melt and then she left ... in the wizard of oz nessarose(witch of east) just got killed by the house ( and that happens in wicked AS WELL ??? :S but what i dn't gt it how glinda no's the wicked witch of the west (elphaba is alive) because she thinks she's dead doesn't she?

  • glinda doesn't know that elphaba is still alive

  • no wot i mean was.. that at the end of wicked glinda thinks she is dead but she has really gone off with fiyero but then in the wizard of oz she see's her as the wicked witch of the west so she is probs shocked herself.. but before all that she say's that the wicked witch of the west she's worse than the other one was and she doesn't really seem all that surprised its kind of odd

  • well, this film was already made lyk ages ago n there was no hidden story then, elphaba was just bad. but recently they made wicked so they couldnt make it perfect coz at the time of the film there was no reason 4 glinda 2 b shocked at elphaba's evilness.

  • yeah! :D i love wicked 2 its the best musical hehe and kerry is a fantastic elphaba hehee :D but it was an accident that dorothy killed her coz the scarecrow was on fire but i love wizard of oz and wicked best ever!!:d hehe i wana go bk n see wicked 2 its jst amazing

  • The thing is...Wicked tells things from Elphaba's earliest days, on THROUGH this movie (and the book), and following her "demise".

  • Wickey: In the book of Wicked, which--if anything--is a closer prequel/continuation of this film than the musical could ever hope to be (too Disney-fied), Elphie does die and never comes back...or does she?

    *Cue the 90's cartoon*: youtube . com/watch?v = mdL0n_w-2Qo

  • in the book, elphie is evil at the end, and dosent even love her own son, and really does steal toto, and lights her broom on fire to scare dorothy, her dress catches on fire, and dorothy throws the water on her, and it kills her

  • rebecca: Elphie only became "wicked" after having the term thrust upon her by her former friends and the truly evil Ozian media. After years of fighting, she sort of snapped and went insane, hence her true jump from being "misunderstood" to being utterly "wicked".

  • isnt that what i just said? the whole purpose of the book is to make you think about why a person becomes what they become. how much do our choices affect our lives and the lives of others? i dont think she ever went insane... but she just never knew how to love, because the only one who knew how to love her was taken so quickly and brutally, then she took that hurt, and turned it to vengance, against everyone, even her own son

  • The book makes me feel more sorry for her

  • I love it - although it has ruined the Wizard of Oz for me haha x

  • Elphaba doesnt actually die

    Its a plan that she made up with Fiyero - the scarecrow so that they could escape and be safe

    HTH

  • you know, i hated that part in wicked. I don't know why, i just do.

  • You're not alone, I HATED the fact of the changed ending at the end of the musical Wicked version, even though im a huge fan of Wicked. The melting is something we all know, love, and fear of Oz. It seemed super cheesy the changed ending.

  • Elphaba! I can't call her the wicked with of the west now, She is valled Elphaba! && yeh you would of thought Glinda would of cried when her ebst friend died...honestly lol.

    Rule Elphaba!

  • I love this Video! what song is this called?

  • my perogative by britney spears

  • For some reason i always laughed when she flew around her castle and then off

  • aw poor elphaba you think galinda would cry when she died after all the good times they had hmmmm...

  • yah

  • aww even before Ive heard of Wicked, I always thought it was sad to see her be meltified =(

  • After the 7th Harry Potter movie dos he become the next Wizard Of Oz?

  • yeah, unless he dies.

  • I think Alphaba would have been better off attending

    Hogworts insted of Shizz. The gang of Griffendor would of helped her stear her powers away from the dark arts and control her hanger besid she would fit in better with all the other odditys that walk theos halls.Meeting Harry Potter she would really be changed for the better

  • that would have been very interesting but quite frankly, i think she would end up in Slytherine. and besides, if that did happen (fictionally speaking) we would have no wicked witch of the west.

  • You are right on that Random.

  • thank you!

  • On second thought.I dont think Slytherine would be a good bunch for her to start .remember she was very shy at first, Is she gonna cut it wth Draco Malfoy? Is he gonna care? She would need to bond with Hafful Puff first

  • well, if she did go to Hufflepuff or Gryffindor, i still think she would still end up, well, WICKED!

  • I always felt so sorry for her when she melted. Maybe thats why i love wicked? anyone agree with me?

  • she really was misunderstood it seems!

  • YES! I never liked Dorothy. I remember when I was a kid; I was like, so she killed two people and no one cares? That's odd.

  • I always loved Dorothy just as much, but i felt sorry for the witch, no matter how mean she was :P

  • Hehe, I don't know why, but I never liked her, it's so werid lol.

  • The Broadway show Wicked sucked. The W.W.of the W.

    Is totally evil,power hungry and hatefull and ugly

    And thats the way we like her.

  • Well, that's just your opinion. I and millions of other people on the planet did not think Wicked sucked. And who is we?

  • We is all the fans of the claasic Movie The Wizard Of Oz I told friends what this show is like and they agree  it sucks

  • Rollman: Wrong. I happen to be a fan of BOTH and feel that Elphie was nice before Dorothy dropped in, but once Dorothy came, we saw Elphie as the out-of-it of witch she came to be, for after so many failed attempts at proving she wasn't "wicked", she went insane and became "wicked", hence her evilness here (though I think it's all more tied to hurt & jealousy, because Dorothy killed her sister, took the shoes, and stole a certain someone whom Elphie never realized was someone from her past).

  • I'm just a huge fan of all things Oz, and I just LOVE both Wicked and Wizard of Oz equally for what they are :D

  • Ditto. Either way, The Land of Oz is brilliant.

  • lol THANK YOU!! there is always so much drama over whats better. (Wicked/Wiz of Oz)
