Julia Murney 4/4/07

[TheNicholasRodriguez]

i just dislike some of the way her vowels sound... like "i (eye)". other than that. great.

[iheartwicked91]

i love her so much! shes so amazing!

[DEFYINGgravityDE]

Reaaly ... I really have deep respect of so great Voice Power...

But I dont like so many Waves by singing. 0:59 ... too many waves... 1:20 really.

I like her voice, but my favorite of eng. voices is Idina Menzel.

Grman vioce - never to top: Willemijn Verkaik !!! (GO GO GO!!!! =) )

[LetMeBeTrades]

Oh how I Love Julia Murney! She is in my top 5 elphaba's! x

[lyras12]

that was insane i heart julia alot

[shaqman145]

At 0:34 she starts doing this shoulder and neck movment thing. I like it :)

[hidveginora]

first "bring me"... :D

[oldfrippy]

what an amazing woman

[tillyboos]

By the way, Eden was on tour too, she did San Francisco back in 2005. So, I think the statements about Julia having more videos just because people knew she was on tour might be the reason why there are so many Julia recordings. However, Eden's up there, because she was on Broadway, the tour, Broadway again, and then opened and was lead Elphaba in LA. The big 5 in terms of youtube are definitely Idina, Shoshana, Eden, SJB & Julia, although Ana and Nicole have healthy representation here as well.

[TheMsdiva777]

I Love her voice!!!

[MirandaHopeYaLikeIt]

"and nobody. in all of oz" hahahahahahhahahahahahaa

[Imflyinghighdefying]

If you trade or have seen most of Julia's videos you'll notice there are more videos of Julia than ANY OTHER elphaba.

[wickedphant0m]

Really? I would venture to say that Eden has far and away the most live recordings (both audio and video) of any Elphaba.

[Imflyinghighdefying]

Well eden has some videos But most of them are at Concerts and events, not Wicked. Julia was on tour which means that a lot more people go to see her and know she's coming.

[wickedphant0m]

I mean in the overall course of Wicked bootlegs, not just whats on youtube right now.

[s0undstrulycrazy]

There are definitely more recordings of both Idina and Eden than there are of Julia.. there are just a lot of dvds of julia posted on youtube...

[Imflyinghighdefying]

@s0undstrulycrazy Most videos of idina are at a concert, NOT WICKED, There may be AUDIOS of eden but there are definitely WAY more VIDEOS of Julia

[s0undstrulycrazy]

Um, no, I can differentiate between a concert and a broadway performance.. and LIKE i said, most videos never make it to YOUTUBE, which is what you are most likely referring to.

There are a lot of DVDs of Julia that have surfaced to youtube. That doesn't mean there are more of her in general

[iheartwicked91]

at 0:52 tho she goes back, land makes her back straight. are we sure she was stuck being bent over?... BTW i LOVE her shes my all time fave!

[s0undstrulycrazy]

shes stuck in the audio, not the video.....

[iheartwicked91]

ohhh i see hahah i was really confused hahah thanks for clearing that up!

[ABoismier]

I can't believe that even with her bag caught in the lift her pitch is STILL that amazing. Not being in a good position severely compromises your breathing and tone quality, and she STILL pulled it off brilliantly.

What a star.

[badideabears]

When I first heard Julia on youtube I was like...she's not really that good. But she grew on me SO much. I love her acting and her voice; and her portrayal of Elphaba. Wow.

[disneyman424]

I think she sounds like crap!!!!

[MrTamzzin]

AMAZING YET AGAIN!!!!!!!!

[ieatglue44]

French horn at 0:53 sounds like it missed the note. Haha

Anyway great vocal by Julia. Very little better that I've heard.

[jerbull8642]

what the elephant in the orchestra pit? HAHAHA thanks for pointing that out! BRILLIANT!

[kenny6446]

I KNOW! When I heard the french horn crack, I was PISSED! LOL

[pilchard96]

@kenny6446 I am a horn player, and even the worlds best professionals will miss the odd note, due to the harmonic series the horn is built on, making the notes incredibly hard to pitch in comparison to most other instruments. especially at a high volume, and in this instance topping off a run. so, cut him (or her) some slack, yeah? thanks ;) x

[kenny6446]

@pilchard96 Oh of COURSE! I'm a reed player myself. Its just my favorite part, and when they crack I always wince a bit is all. I completely understand why. So consider the sack given! ;)

[pilchard96]

@kenny6446 yeah, i wish the london production, or the OBC included it. it is a bitch of a run to hit, but a beautiful but :)

[FuckingFierheller]

This woman has so much passion when she performs. I love her.

[FuckingFierheller]

I have no idea. But does it really matter? She's an amazing Glinda and Julia Murney is a spectacular Elphaba.

[coasterjoel]

Something about the way she sings "as someone told me lately" reminds me of Stockard Channing's portrayal of Rizzo in Grease.

[xxxlbigsam]

one word ...................... awful

[LordHK007]

I can't stand how much vibrato she uses she starts to sound like a sheep

[tanjapieksma]

she has always had that much vibrato.

it isn't a choice. something happend to her voice which made it what it is. I think it's phenomenal.

[theemaestro576]

it makes it all the better :)

[deniseguerchon]

please be true!

[TheAngelSpeaks15]

one word: DAMN

and who cares if their lesbians, or not... according to the book, elphie is supposed to be bi or something, anyways.

[ABoismier]

Basically every character is bisexual in Wicked. Almost all of them have homoerotic moments. I think it's meant to imply that sexuality is fairly irrelevant and shouldn't matter.

Which is exactly what you're saying - hence I agree!

[xKINGxSCARx]

AMAZING! A favourite Elphie!

[imetcarmencusack]

ive heard it too... it is not true actually, not that it matters, cause shes amazing either way :)

[TheChosenOne613]

No idea.

[iheartwicked91]

julia is by far my fave, shes sooooo amaizng in everything she does!

[angelxschunard]

WIN, JULIA MURNEY. WIN.

[Imflyinghighdefying]

She sounds so innocent when she says "Nobody in all of OZ, no Wizard that there is or was" in all of her videos

[TimeToFlyTrades]

She doesnt appear to be bent over.

[killoa2002]

its a different video than the audio

[alex20kirk]

thats good vibrato, & i like the french horns.!

[justreverseit]

Singing Defying Gravity bent over? If that's not a sign of a fantastic singer, I don't know what is.

[MatchingExterior123]

I love this woman :) julia, julia my first elphie, you are fantastic! she'd better come back soon!

[WickedRENThead20]

Does anyone else notice that she started her run forest green, and ended it sort of lime coloured?

[mccreadboy]

its all about the camera and lights./

[WickedKid100]

if she doesn't i'm surprised too because i saw her in an interview and she's bad looking for a woman in her 40s

[MatchingExterior123]

wow that's such an awful thing to say! julia murney is an amazing actress/singer and such a nice person! she doesnt deserve to take that bullshit from some little twerp like you!

[NHK1111111111]

Isn't she gay? lol

[Elphaboy]

no where did u here that?

[plurrbitch]

That's Kendra. lol

[dramadrama6694]

Kendra's a lesbian? WTF!?!? I would have never guessed... seriously lol doesn't matter to me either way i was just suprised lol

[Sebastianswain]

If you were thinking of Kendra, there IS a RUMOR that she's gay, but I have NO idea, not that any of us really do, if that's true of not; Julia, however, is straight (if memory serves, she briefly lusted over Norm Lewis in an interview with Seth Rudetsky once), yet she is said to have quite a large lesbian fanbase.

[Sebastianswain]

*Or not.

[aetik93]

I believe Julia may be a lesbian... Search for the video of her with Scott Alan and Lisa Brescia, they have some lesbian-talk. haha (lisa and julia are probably among the BEST Elphies ever IMO, just btw...haha)

[AtLastOnTheGround]

aetik93-

Julia is most definitely not a lesbian. And if she is, then she's a lesbian with a boyfriend if the rumors are true.

It doesn't even matter though -- she rocks straight or not.

[aetik93]

haha yeah i realized that. looking back, lisa and julia were talking about their lesbian fanbases! and i agree, it really doesn't matter.

[TheChosenOne613]

"Julia is most definitely not a lesbian. And if she is, then she's a lesbian with a boyfriend if the rumors are true."

Pity, really. She's lovely here.

[AtLastOnTheGround]

well...

yay for lesbians, anyways! and gays! and jews! and Julia Murney fans!

[TheChosenOne613]

And I'm all of that and proud.

[AtLastOnTheGround]

WOOT WOOT!

*friends you*

[orozcoboy]

I like the way she sings, but her vibrato is a little too crazy for my taste

[MTwannaB4jesus]

i think it's just the way her voice is. she'd make a wonderful operatic singer, i think. i love the second "bring me down"

[iNick1224]

how do u kno

[ItsnotBB9]

She is has such a great voice, I'm sad I never got to see her! :(

[TheGreenBean14]

the video was recorded by the same person who did megan's last on b-way and 8-5-06 w/ brandi and kate i wonder what was up with his camera

[kenny6446]

I changed the coloring, etc on this video just to give it a different look because the audio is different, thats all =)

[soundstrulycrazysafe]

Technical errors and mistakes like those are never caught on video..or atleast not released. Like when Shoshana knocks her hat off, or when the lift doesnt go up and she has to run to the stage. I wanna see it haha

[twistednature18]

Her bag was caught in the lift so she was stuck singing the whole song bent over. And i think THAT is amazing.

In the audio or the video?

[kenny6446]

Its in the audio.

[TheGreenBean14]

is the vid for trade?

[kenny6446]

its just dg, but sure

[Wiickedd1LOVE]

how old is she? (julia)

[imetjuliamurney]

shes in her late 30's she is either 39 or 40. she was born in '69

[theatrekid151]

i love her soooo much

[talkingismyhobby]

julia is freakin AMAZING!!!

[SunDevilGirl11]

I AGREE! :D

[CookieDough246]

She rocks my socks! I LOVE JULIA MURNEY!!!!

[DEFYGRAVITYFREAK]

do you have the audio for 5/22/07 with the video if so please post it =]

[kenny6446]

5/22/07 sucks next to this audio.

[iheartwicked91]

i love her!

[mccreadboy]

do you mean caught in the lift?

[kenny6446]

Yes, the bag was caught in the lift causing her to forced forward. And she was STILL able to sing it!

[DefyingGravityLover]

In The Video Or The Audio?

[kenny6446]

In the audio LOL
