Dianne Pilkington - Popular (In an American accent)

Dianne singing Popular in 2005, before Wicked opened in London. At the end she says 'Which will hopefully come over soon'.

Strange foreshadowing, but she did say she wanted to audition when it first opened but couldn't..

[elleruth]

No, I didn't. But I wish there were some videos!

[iiLoveKerryEllis]

so when and why did she do this?

and how did you get hold of this?

[elleruth]

It was in 2005 I think. I don't know why, presumably for fun or to.. get more famous?

A friend sent it to me but I don't know how she got it.

[asmileisspecial]

She sounds like Cheno! It's actually quite a good accent...

[mariajacksonx]

lol best g(a)linda EVER!

[BagOfSticksFork]

you can sorta hear the glinda she had in wicked

[BagOfSticksFork]

i prefer her english glinda accent!

[mistermanish]

This is awesome. Di does a fab American accent! :D

I know maybe i'm a bit biased because she's the only Glinda i've ever seen in real life, but Dianne is seriously the best Glinda ever. (Well up there with Queen Chenoweth) :D

[dimbgeest]

i wonder why she couldn't audition for the first time round - not that im complaining as i wouldnt have got to see her last :D

[westendwonder]

[UKxxSophiiiexxUK]

She's SO AWESOME!

Love how she chose the very song and character she ends up being famous for XD

Adore her squeals!

[waterlily1988]

may be wanna have your ears checked?

[dementieva12]

@westendwonder Good accent ain't it?

[dementieva12]

Maybe Dianne should have transferred to Broadway with Kerry and she could have taught her a better an accent. This is convincing on this song...she's dead on American.
