Popular (ITV's 'This Morning' Performance - performed by Dianne Pilkington and Alexia Khadime)

[QueenOfHearts95M]

It's called acting ffs

[PigDestroyer6666]

Best ever Galinda

[RebeccaByrom96]

Aww Dianne is so sweet :') She isn't one bit annoying like people say, anyway, even f she is, Galinda was supposed to be. Dianne is one of the best Galindas I have heard x

[TheGleekforever17]

I prefer idina Menzel and kirstin chenoweth xx

[tapdancegirl88]

mmm she needs tap shoes

[TheRachanittaa]

aaaw shees soo cutee! :D <3

[wickedselphaba]

there is no point comparing e&gs to others because they've got to be amazing to get the part, so they're all equally amazing.

[suki3275]

shes cute, but shes squealed a a little too much. maybe it was just spur of the moment

[pantstelly93]

watching her squawk and hop about like that it makes me wonder if she's really as popular as she thinks

[XHeliosxXx]

don't make me laugh...don't haha god that made me lol :D

[XHeliosxXx]

this glinda does make me smile with her voice its cute :D

i do like Kristen aswell btw

[MizzSmileey]

kristen chenoweth is the best, no one can beat ther :)

[nimmie54]

@harrypotterwicked it's weird because Dianne seems shorter IRL.

[linklarkin93]

Dianne looks BEAUTIFUL here. Such a shame she sounds so tired.

[20JapanezeKid09]

I hate Dianna Pilkington! She sings like a drowning cat! I feel sorry for Alexia having to look at that! She says 'do your hair' instead of 'fix your/that hair' the only good thing she does is when she screams ballgown! Even Megan Hilty is better than her! Kristen, Kendra, Annalene and Katie Rose Clarke where the best Galinds ever! I hear demi lovato is ment to be playing her in 2011 EEEPP! XD i love demi lovato and wicked!

[dobbyisnotdead]

@20JapanezeKid09 All the London Glindas say 'do your hair', 'fix your hair' isn't really a phrase used much in the UK so that's clearly why they changed it. And have you actually seen Dianne live, or are you just bashing her based on videos? Because she was absolutely fantastic live (though I will admit this video isn't her best performance). Also, 'I feel sorry for Alexia having to look at that'... very mature. Grow up.

[kimberley45am]

@20JapanezeKid09 You do realise she is putting on that voice. The way she is acting and sounds is the stereoptypical version of rich posh spoilt british brat, and it is supposed to be an annoying voice, sort of the same as the American steretype version of the popular homecoming queen type girl that a lot of the American Galindas act like. It works perfectly for the British version of a Galinda

[xXxAmyPalmerxXx]

@20JapanezeKid09 the British version of wicked says do your hair.

she is actually amazing live and soo funny. demi lovato would be a terrible galinda

[dolphindreamer95]

the green skin suit colour and the actual make up clash very badly

its weird im saying this because im englsh but i think this suits an american accent

[ichigo0000000000000]

kristin chenoweth is the best!!

[ResidentBiznitch]

I have to sing this for my musical theatre exam - dreading acting like Galinda! all that prancing around makes me cringe :P

[tinikutinz]

I really like Lucy Durack as Galinda! I'm a HUGE fan of Lucy!

[SwayingAndSweeping]

why can't there be a show that has alexia singing defying gravity?! we need a good video of her doing it!

[LilitaJaneRose]

i definately think kristin chenoweth is better... who else loved her on Glee?!

[tashzillion]

she was fantastic in glee but dianne pilkington is absolutley amazing as Glinda, i think you have to see her to fully appreciate

[tamlucso]

ME ME ME!!!!

[Guimmi]

kristin chenoweth will always be the best Glinda ever.

[BekayKnights]

love her to bitts. she is soo amazingly funny. aces the character.

[12lexie12]

you guys don't understand how amazing she actually is if you don't like her why r you listening to her? personally i think dianne is the best glinda!

[tashzillion]

agreed!

[Guimmi]

so annoying... God

[kemdancelife]

and.............. those accents don't work with song!!!!!!!!!! im not going to see wicked with them in the musical!!!

[CantBeBroken16]

[kemdancelife]

the new glinda is annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kemdancelife]

her legs aren't green!!!

[jrnash2003]

i dont see how people like this... she is shit.

[ellz1020]

she is good...but she gets on yourr nerves a bit :/ x kristin chenoweth is better :) <3

[jdthemindfreak]

She's beautiful! And so talented! I love her as Glinda!

[KatThorne]

took me ages to figure out who diannes voice reminded me of. Jane Carr

[bobbie406]

this song is fab in stage, i loved these two im hoping to go back soon to see diannes last performance

[Sam4God]

whens dianne's last performance?

[bobbie406]

march 27th is her last day

[obsessivewickedfan]

heyy how do you know this?

[bobbie406]

hey um i just talk to people on fb most of the time. I asked someone about the date and they told me lol im plannin on gettin tickets :D

[obsessivewickedfan]

she isnt necessirily leaving according to the website - it just says cast subject to change from 29 march, but she may well extend her contract so be prepared if she does and its not her last show and you have tickets :)

[bobbie406]

oh well even if she does stay its still a good reason to go and see the show lol :D am i right? what website did u look at?

[obsessivewickedfan]

yeh definitely :) that was the official wicked website, and on wikipedia it says shes currently contracted until that date (i know wiki isnt the most reliable) but i cant find an actual statemtent anywhere on the web that she is leaving :)

[bobbie406]

yeah someone I spoke to said people have to wait until next years contracts are signed to find out if she's leaving or not ekk cant wait

[jdthemindfreak]

Dianne's last day is June, 17, 2010.

[starsindmajor]

I visited London this past summer, and I saw these two. Wow! I thought both of them did beautifully - I wish people would stop comparing. We know how wonderful Idina and Kristen are but really now. I loved how zany Dianne was when I saw the show; I couldn't help but laugh all the time when she cracked a line. Alexia was great; she was really convincing to me. So overall, loved these two. (:

[bobbie406]

hey what was the date u went?

[recklesscaution]

i saw these 2 a couple of days ago on West End and I think they are brilliant :D

[bobbie406]

loved these two in the west end best birthday present my friends could ever give me

[bookworm1138]

this isn't the west-end stage, therefore the actors don't have mics and no need to project, so of course its going to sound different.

dianne is simply too funny to ignore, she really loves this role. alexia's fantastic as well (despite just sitting there, saying two lines and not doing much)

[Gabriella189]

2:40 is that Dianne's bra?

[whalewashingcrad]

Ok i thought they were both horrible!!!

Dianne was wayyy worse than Alexia though!!!

[hangers98]

this sucks!

[RaraTheGoodXx]

Not her best i dont think, but i love pilky regardlesss!!

Alexia, on the other hand, im not as big a fan of. BRING BACK ELLIS!

x x x

[jesseca1X]

I'm still yet to see this but everytime i see any other people sing this other than kirsten and Idina it somehow doesnt seem right still good not as good they just seemed to have such a great connection. Dianne to me just comes over as annoying/screechy hmm still wanna see it badly but dont wanna be put of with it!!

[obsessivewickedfan]

diannes not the best in my opinion but seriously shes not that bad - she is a leading lady in the west end so she cant be too bad can she! go see it NOW!

[jesseca1X]

actually can't belive this i have tickets for the 29th of aug ssssssssssssssssooooooooo excited sure it will be Wicked lol x

[sharna123456789]

i went to c it on the 29th aswell. it was really good. althought the theatre was very cold

[jesseca1X]

Aww was brill my seats werent great. NEED to go again!! Did ya stay and meet the cast? I waited like 20mins and got my pic tuck with alexia, dianne, natalie and Oliver also got my programme signed they were lovely!! I actually can't watch or listen to wicked since watching it.... it makes me wanna cry lol : )

[Gabriella189]

who would ever think that Dianne is 10 years older than Alexia!!!!!!!

[leelee987654]

i would

[Gabriella189]

why?

[murderismyart]

Dianne is my fave ever Galinda but....bad end note. She didn't get it. Poor Dianne. :( Rest was excellent though!!

[meowbooks]

I haven't heard much of Dianne, but I like how she's serious in the beginning. She definitely creates her own interpretation and while she's not as zany as other Galinda it is refreshing to see such a different take.

[hangers98]

imagine everyone in wicked black

[defygravityalltheway]

then it wuldnt b wicked, itd b the wiz

[wickedlyblonde1]

Right. LOL

[leelee987654]

HATE ALEXIA

[geo1471]

Well then Sir.. Your an Idiot!

[leelee987654]

sorry for having an opinion,

[kilahri]

UGH! Every bloody wicked video there is a comment somewhere comparing elphabas and glindas. why can't people look at a pairing or performer and see what individuality they bring to the role? who cares if you like someone better? can't you just look at these performers for what they are and the magic that they, themselves bring to it?

sorry, thumb me down if you must, it just really gets to me.

[heslop01]

I like all of them, because at the end of the day - they're on the stage and we aren't. They're all great performers!

[ediercks]

@kilahri You know, I used to do what you're talking about here. But then one day watching "Popular" not starring KC, I realized it doesn't matter. It's still good.

=)

Just letting you know you're right.

[17DefyingGravity]

@kilahri oh i absolutly agree !! Everyone keeps comapring Diannes so called 'annoying' voice to other American galindas, its what makes her different, and amazing !!!

[littlemizspecial]

i agree
