I'm Not That Girl

[Angel3y3z9021]

wot gets me is the people that say i sang this song for a show or a talent contest i think instead of those posts just put something like this is amazing or i really like this song i have worked on the london apollo theatre for wicked and i completely love everything about wicked and as of the 19th april my birthday i will be touring america with the show

[lexiecami]

This is too true.. i really like this guy, but keep denying it and telling myself i dont like him because i know he would never like me back. especially if he has a gf already..

[bakedapplethea]

she is totally that girl... it's like she sings my story

[rosecullen48021]

story of my life . . .

[MsInloveforever]

@rosecullen48021 Mine too. <3

[broadwaybound19427]

Just to mention.. This isn't the London cast. It's Idina Menzel. lol. But amazing, of course. <3

[BornThisWayBabbyy]

I saw Wicked in NYC today and oh my god. Tears at this part <3 Im addicted to all these songs now and this one.. well I can relate so much, im not that girl either Elphy :(

[15Skywalker00]

Its amazing how this can speak to guys too :/

[battleboat1]

Poor elphy....

[InspiredByLoki]

Not trying to be humorous, the entire unrequited love thing? Yep, me. I'm a lesbian, and it's so damn hard to find somebody...

[manumtz91]

@InspiredByLoki I'm a gay guy who loved his best friend and I thought he did have feelings for me, so I tell him only to lose him :(

[almostammazin]

havent we all been there

[MsPrincessMonaco]

"Don't wish. Don't start. Wishing only..."

I can't be the only one who read Out of Oz and caught that =D

[Musicperson337]

This doesn't only apply to girls! I feel like I'll never be that guy that gets love from women. I'm 17 and never been in a relationship before. Every time that I think a girl might be interested in me, it's never how it seems. They always have some other guy. I can never really get hopeful for love, now. Oh, why can't a woman see how great I am? Does anyone else feel this way?

[LizaKimoto]

Thumbs up if you think they should remake avpm/s to be truer to the books and play out each book in turn. Of course, it wouldn't be a comedy, so they'd have to keep the original avpm/s up. This could be Ginny's song in OotP. Doesn't it fit?

[jameroo3498]

im so sorry. im sorry we used to be friends, but my emotions got the best of me. now you cant even look at me. i hope you know i still love you, and i know you don't feel the same way. but thats okay. i'm just not that girl. i hope you have fun talking to the girls in skimpy clothes and too much makeup. ill never be that. to be honest i still want to be friends. you were nice. you were the boy who didnt ignore me. the one who spoke first. but thats gone now. i just hope it doesnt stay that way.

[Elizablue2]

I hardly ever see you anymore. I'm lucky if I glimpse you in the hallway every now and then. We used to be friends, remember? The three weeks where I got to see you every day were heaven... I really really like you. I'm so scared to tell you though. Besides, even when you do see me, you never say hi.... i miss you so much. What am i doing? Why am i even writing this.....

[xgoodgirl1114xx]

im not that girl,and i never will be

[MyAnne00]

goddamn I could cry when I hear this song

[MonkiePenguin94]

This song describes my life so perfectly. Right down to everything but the color of the other girl's hair :'(

[ViperFace]

Everything seems so weightless when you listen to this. I feel like I could float away and just be myself; no cares, no worries, just a feeling of thoughtful insight. Love you Wicked!

[AnnalyzeSparrow]

This is from the Original Broadway Production, not London Cast. Just in case you care to correct your information. And I swear I'm not trying to be a b!tch.

[1995Juliet]

I've got this open at the same time as Lady Gaga. Now I'm so ashamed I feel like stabbing myself.

[fumikafuka123]

@InsanityWithHermie Hlina?

[TwiliRabbit]

i'm having the same problem elphie! so i've heard all girls go through a moment like this but mine is a bit more like Elphaba's problem

[LixLorn]

@TwiliRabbit I think I can beat that. The guy I like not only has a girlfriend, but has explicitly said he doesn't like me like that. :(

Sympathy hug?

[lilmissmusic2012]

Stephen Schwartz wrote the hell outta this musical.

[piggycat5]

I love wicked and this song

[MsDorothy1996]

After listening to this song I want to change my username.

[Abbykins71]

I'm not that girl:( never will be. I'm so in love with him but he loves someone else:(

[megamikira]

I've never seen it. This song makes me want to. O:

[IdinaAWICKEDelphaba]

is it weird that Dorothy is my new enemy???

[DancinJess02]

@IdinaAWICKEDelphaba me too aha my friend said the other day i feel like dorothy and i was like -___- NO cassie! aha loving elphie!!! Team elphaba <3

[JustineifyYourLife]

And To think I used to be scared of the Witch of the West.....

[heyheyitsannie]

i sang this, auditioning for a musical. I was beat by a girl singing Popular. Ironic?

[bornnforthis]

@heyheyitsannie :O that bitch! hahaha I'm sure you'll beat her in another audition.

[m0bRYa]

@heyheyitsannie That bitch!

[coconesha]

this song is beautiful and amazing and is so easy to relate to. Idina Menzel does it amazingly. This one song is better then every disney song combined :)

[Firefortheworld]

Oh look, 13 people don't like the fact that Elphaba doesn't think that she IS that girl.

[aKaBabyJesus]

13 people are that girl..

[CobaltDream]

Why is Wicked the most perfect musical ever to exist, ever? I can't even explain what I feel when I listen to this song.

[JakeDDrake]

HAHAHAHA SEE WHAT WE PUT A NEW SPIN ON AN OLD CANON WITH FAN-WRITTEN MATERIAL. BET YOU FEEL LIKE A SHITHEAD FOR WANTING THE WICKED WITCH TO DIE EH?!?!?! LOLOLOL WE GOT YOU GOOD now seriously go buy tickets. Artists are notoriously poor, especially Thespians. They turn scrip-based tricks for anyone. Including pulling this shit out of their asses.

[labutterflyx]

go elphaba:)

[GamerChikUltra]

God damnit, I do love you.

This isn't some stupid puppy love I'll get over or accept.

I love you enough to smile and laugh.

The worst part? Who you love is my best friend. It's okay. If you're happy, I can smile for both of you.

But I love you.

I love you so goddamn much.

Just know that. Go your way, be happy, smile, and be happy for me. And if you, by some miracle, decide that a fat, ugly girl with too much eye makeup is worth it...

I'll be there.

I love you, Julian.

[BregoLove101]

@GamerChikUltra Okay, you just called yourself ugly, but anyone who can pour their heart out like that is in no way ugly. Hold in there, girl, one day you'll get your prince charming <3

[Wafflepal]

@GamerChikUltra

Exact situation I'm in. It sucks, but, I'm happy for them I guess. :)

[broadwaygodess630]

@GamerChikUltra Your in the exact same situation I was 2 months ago..... I'm not exactly beautiful like my cheerleader best friend. who would have thought the varsity football player would go for a theater nerd like me after he realized him and my beautiful blonde best friend had little in common. But now him and I are dating and we couldn't be happier so never count yourself out. Your more special, beautiful and amazing then even you realize and I'm sure He'll realize it some day <3

[cupcakequeen63]

@GamerChikUltra , i know how you feel,im in the same situation, ur not alone :)

[Azulazulazula]

@GamerChikUltra Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Be happy for them; smile for them.  But you just can't get over them.

[AdiShoShuperShweet]

When I found out that he did, I broke down and started crying. This song was playing when I found out...And that only made it worse...it's just not fair..

[AdiShoShuperShweet]

There's this guy, and I'm only in high school but I swear to God I was in love with him at one point. He always made me laugh, he was so creative and smart, and I liked him because of that, not his looks. He always flirted with me on a daily basis, and I thought he liked me...Truth is, I found out he likes one of my good friends, who has the same exact description as Galinda. I feel like Elphaba, in how he goes for the ditz instead of me, I know it sounds selfish, but she doesn't even like him.

[bdawg202787]

why the heck is firework a recomended video?

im sorry, but wicked is 5000000000 times better than any pop,rock,rap,funk,or punk song out there. its an insult to wicked to put pop songs on the same page as the music,

[Yudoichi]

I've never actually watched the wizard of Oz, but I've seen this several times so I kinda just replaced it with this. :3 I like it so much better.

[ilovepeter100]

they need to make a movie. i would watch it everyday!!!!!!!!!!!

[peanutrockingutube]

@ilovepeter100 good news 4 u they are and they r trying to get kristan chenowith as glinda again nd idina menzel as elphaba !!!!!!!!!!!!

[famosyyo]

My mom saw my Wicked poster on my wall and she says "I don't want a witch on your wall." And i was like "Seriously? That's it you have to watch Wicked!'

[hannahls98]

@famosyyo lol :) i would have to say the same thing!! has she seen it yet?

[blondebluebird]

Like if this song brought a tear to your eye :'( <3

[ikilledmufasa1014]

@TheMoonWolf23 I totally get where you're coming from- I've had a thing for this boy I know and he's been COMPLETELY oblivious except for when it comes to my blonde, perky, confident, slightly clingy friend. And I don't have a chance at all. Elphaba is like completely describing my life right now.

[TheMoonWolf23]

*headdesk* I just realized... I could change the lyrics and make it my life. I have a crush on a guy.. and my best friend turned enemy likes him AGAIN. And I know I have no chance against her.. Just like Elphaba.

[triplethreat1096]

Right now, I AM Elphaba... :( I'm not that girl.

He loves her, 'gold hair with a gentle curl'

[TheMoonWolf23]

@triplethreat1096 Make it "chocolate hair with a gentle curl" and you've got HER. My life's her, anyway.

[shadowfax1996]

ever since my english teacher took us to see this play i havent been able to watch the wizard of oz because this play is just so freakin beautiful <333333 all my friends sadly agree with me that im like elphaba

[thisismeyoucantdeny]

This song used to be my least favorite song in the musical. Then I truly came to appreciate the music and understand it. It is now one of my favorite songs of all time. Thank you Stephen Schwartz for giving us Wicked.

[barcelonadk]

Saw this musicla in London this week wtich my Boardingschool from Demark... It was one of my best experiences in my life. AMAZING SHOW, AMAZING ACTORS! Wow :D

[Alphabet5772]

@Tigerstarplushie Yes, but I was just trying to make a joke. Relax.

[mewzakuro240]

Twelve people are NOT that girl

[mewzakuro240]

I started crying while listening to this

[gsheu018]

this is just.. A.MA.Z.I.N.G

[MMKursch]

to us amateurs it a mezzo piece. I'm a soprano, and I don't think I could pull the deep parts of, but I think both a pro alto and a pro soprano could.

[katiegirl189189]

this song makes me cry when i listen to it but i love it...

[kzgirl19960302]

i saw this 2 days ago on my birthday and i just been in love with this show!! <3 ive been singing the songs non stop this whole time XD and it was my first time too seeing this show since i had already seen the phantom (2 great shows, my only 2 broadway shows)

[animafanalltheway]

don't wish, don't start ,wishing only wounds the heart, i wasn't born for the rose and the pearl ................ I'm not that girl.

god how much that relates to my life more like it is my life

[glindaandelphabarule]

i love wicked, it totally relates to my life

[ana10moras]

Por favor, la necesito en español, alguien la tiene o puede decirme dónde conseguirla? Graciasss!!(:

[clairebrewin]

I think Rachel should have sang this on glee when Finn was still with Quinn.

[eava123]

@clairebrewin She can now....

[danthedementor2793]

Whenever I watched Wizard of Oz, I would always cheer at the part when the Witch melts...but after I heard this song when I saw the musical, I felt so ashamed of myself. :(

[ircuteskitty]

@danthedementor2793 your forgetting that at the very end she had never melted and it was all trickery

[pornstardancingx]

@danthedementor2793

Read the book. You'll love it too. (:

[uff94]

@danthedementor2793 yeah, now I guess we all hate Dorothy for killing Elphaba and Nessa

[starfirebianca]

@uff94, no one knew her story. So no one except Glinda knew she was good.

[JayMarrtin]

@starfirebianca you forgot about Fyero

[InhopesofJuliard]

Madly in love with him, and he loves her. She's my good friend

Blonde hair with a gentle curl, that's the girl he chose and heaven knows I'm not that girl.

[ekeiram00]

This song describes my feelings perfectly at this moment... There's a girl I know...He loves her so...

[Dayze305]

would this be a good alto song? I need help finding the right song for my voice

[dcgJaY]

@Dayze305 This song would be in the alto range. I haven't sung it for a year but i believe it went up to an A and the lowest note was a low E. I hope that helps :)

[2RandomGirls]

@dcgJaY This song, in an alto pitch? O.o  I'm alto, and I don't think I could nail this very well. (Then again, I don't practice as much as I should.) xD That's pretty cool!

[Beebers2006]

@2RandomGirls It's more of a mezzo piece instead of a true alto part. Most people confuse the two.

[CrystalLightning1]

@Beebers2006 but its also a common mistake b cuz the 2 catagories are very alike.

[Beebers2006]

@CrystalLightning1 They are, indeed. Most of the time, directors split mezzos between the alto 1 and soprano 2 sections. I LOVE a deep contralto sound, though.

[CrystalLightning1]

@Beebers2006 so true so true

[dcgJaY]

@2RandomGirls Well it is more a mezzo than a true alto as Beebers2006 said.. but some of those low notes are good for altos. I sing alto and soprano in choral music, if you have ever sung in choirs (not sure since i don't know you haha :] ) and if you are an alto, these notes are used often in the alto part even the higher notes so with practice, you can probably sing this piece :) good luck! :)

[TheBeatleslover12341]

How can 12 people Dislike this ? ! Its beautiful ..... why Are you People who dont like this even watching this ???

[TriciaCherry]

Twelve people have never experienced the pain of unrequited love.

[xKaishisxMoonx]

Stephen Schwartz is just amazing. His music/lyrics are simply amazing. Such talent.

[GravityDefyerXD]

Get's me emotional everytime. Absolutely beautiful.

[TaditsTable]

This song. It's so beautiful.

But it makes my heart sadface D:

[xXstormistXx]

i think this isn't actually the london cast. it's probably the original broadway cast i.e. idina menzel.

[xxcamerashyxx]

@xXstormistXx idina was on the original london cast as well

[Hrairoo53]

don't dream to far, and don't lose sight of who you are.

this single line defines elphaba!

[Pattieios]

Best Musical Ever :)

[mcflyrocks26]

9 people just dont know what real musical theatre is

[BarbaraFanDallas]

Fantastic

thanks for uploading all the songs on You tube

BF x

[marakashi20]

I really love this song...2 thumbs up!!!!

[MrLouispiano]

I love this song, im playing it for a girl next week in a concert, its a gorgeous piece and 100% true :)

[cojesndoga]

i'm not a girl... but this song really speaks to me and makes me cry.

[anobagnes]

i love this song..

it's so meaningful to me..

i wasn't born for the rose and the pearl..

[HeartBeatles]

my favorite line, personally, is "golden hair with a gentle curl"...i dont know why.

i've had a bad expierience too...i had a bf who cheated with this girl in front of my eyes for 3 months and he asked out my best friend...but its all fine now. everything heals :) but i'll never forget him...

[wickedObsessed22]

to all the girls who are listing to this because you think "your not that girl" guess what, elphaba turned out to be that girl. dont louse hope

[PianoGhibli]

@wickedObsessed22 you know what? that just made my day! you're right, but i still can't stop relating to this song..it means so much to me...

[Rock12Horses]

@wickedObsessed22 i try:)

[wickedObsessed22]

@Alphabet5772 I think you need to see the musical before you make comments like that...

[phantomguppynmachine]

@wickedObsessed22 Hate to burst your bubble but "Wicked" is a musical. It's a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real-world persons alive or dead are purely coincidental. All rights reserved in accordance to the Copyright Law of 1988.

My point is, it doesn't always work out in real life.

[GamerChikUltra]

@wickedObsessed22

Thank you.

I have to sing this as part of my drama project; I cry every time.

I love him so much.

I wish he'd realize it

[boyinterrupted6]

@wickedObsessed22: There are boys who listen to this too, and wonder why they couldn't be up to par.

[sooooophieeeeee]

@wickedObsessed22 learn to spell lose

[torileesrocks09]

@wickedObsessed22 thanks i really needed that

[bluestarrynight97]

@wickedObsessed22 Yes, girls, make sure not to "louse hope" haha.

[xxXsugarushXxx]

*sigh* recently me and my boyfriend broke up...and i kinda still like him, but he likes this other girl...its breaking my heart :(

[KiwisRcool42]

@xxXsugarushXxx awww T.T not much experience with that type of stuff 'cause i always reject them when they ask me out, anyways there is probaly someone better for u out there

p.s. no sympathy for my friend 'cause she has a different boyfriend like every month and claims she is in love w/ them

[xShwirleyx]

So sweet

[Neroscam]

TT_TT

[cloebaby97]

@Neroscam *hug*

[Neroscam]

@cloebaby97 Nye thank you

[LilacLilyFlower]

at my school we did this musical

i was elphaba and my BF was galinda

it was funny watching her being all girly

[Ellenphantable]

9 people will never 'be that girl'

[iTsMe101JoAnNe]

this is the *best* song ever

[tiffo9991]

:( like tha song is ment for me atm i gived up a boy i love to give my m8 who wants love :(

[Kharn1]

@tiffo9991 Perhaps you could spend your free time learning proper grammar now? :D

What an amazing opportunity

[tiffo9991]

@Kharn1 can't be assed haha to lazy after school

[Superduperjubjub223]

I love this Song! Ive seen wicked at least four times at the west end.

[The19Stars]

the times that i wasn't that girl.... almost too many to count :/

[foggyfroggy28]

I am a total wreck right now. The boy that I like is debating weather to ask his ex out again. I want him to be happy- it's been like that with all of the guys I have liked...So I put him first and as I'm typing this, I'm crying. I just told him to do what he thinks he should do- what his heart wants and he thinks that it could work between them. My friend told him that I liked him though- so he was torn...And yet all he could talk about was her and not "That girl who likes me" </3

[KathyCP]

@foggyfroggy28 Totally get what you mean Im just so depressed right now D':

[hermungus]

@foggyfroggy28

his loss sweetheart. stay sweet and sensitive.... someone (the right one) WILL recognize it, and so will you... and you'll understand this guy was just practise

[1Vampireand1angel]

@foggyfroggy28 i know how ya feel the guy i like is like that =(

[courtchaosx]

this song hits way too close. it's amazing. I just sang along and ended up crying.

[uKooKu]

@courtchaosx : me too!! way too close indeed.

[IMselfCENTERED]

@thellamasayquack Idina actually wasn't the evil queen, that was Susan Sarandon, Idina plays Patrick Dempsey's girlfriend, but regardless... she is in Enchanted

[Honeydew7396]

What amazes me is that she can actually hit that last note... *_*

[Mizutoki808]

@Honeydew7396 You should hear her belt the last lines in Defying Gravity. AMAZING(:

[otaku06]

@Honeydew7396 True, it is pretty low for her range

[hermungus]

who is the singer?

[GIeeky]

@hermungus idina menzel-elphaba

[StrangeDarkSoul]

Aww... this is so beautiful... I could cry...

[tiffanybrooke21]

Who ever disliked this is D-U-M-B :)

[annalicia2271]

Idina has an amazing voice!

[thellamasayquack]

@annalicia2271 she was the evil queen in Enchanted!!!

[South3rnSass]

We have all felt this way at some point

[FuyukiNoKoorin]

these 5 people should die :|

[emmyrossumfn101]

@FuyukiNoKoorin Yes, Sweeney Todd should come and teach them a lesson.

[Sephirothed0116]

i love this song. its so sad and sweet at the same time. anyone who dislikes wicked i feel sorry for them

[LittleKrissieUrine]

my feelings at the moment, damn guys ><

[MrDucky127]

i love wicked

[futurekellyclarkson]

this girl sang this song in our talent show. she KILLED that girl. no one thought she was "that girl" :)

[emily496351detective]

poor elphaba :( this song is so beautiful...

[ChrisRokers]

This song came up in my Music exam :O

[lozina1912]

i used to be not that girl, but i am now (L)

[jAiYuKiMuRa]

Don't wish, don't start. Wishing only wounds the heart.

It's almost sad, how true that line is.

[lozina1912]

@jAiYuKiMuRa how weird is this; i start reading your comment and that bit plays, strange

[thellamasayquack]

@jAiYuKiMuRa so true. "We all want the fairt tale life that everyone else seems to have." She's winsom, she wins him, gold hair with a gentle curl, that's the girl he chose, and heaven knows, I'm not that girl.

[TheTwitchesOFFICIAL4]

@jAiYuKiMuRa i totally get that!!! it is true, and i read the book, and that is what elphaba's life is like :(

[Trexlerator]

@jAiYuKiMuRa I could only like it once. I wanted to like 200 hundred times.

[nfran227]

@jAiYuKiMuRa it IS sad how true it is :(
