i love her voice! i dont care :)

[renatorazzino]

"I hate her voice, she's too annoying", "she's loud", "she's squeaky" - Errr, that's the objective, isn't it? Every single Glinda is annoying in some way Listen to "What is this feeling?"; one of Elphaba's lines in this song is "[unalduterated loathing] for your voice!". Glinda is supposed to be annoying, just like that cheerleader in your class who was loud and squeaky and just couldn't shut up. Dianne is perfect! And she is hilarious *-*

Louise Dearman is clearly made for the part of Glinda, if you listen to Glinda in the film version of the Wizard of Oz, you can see Dearman has similar vocal tones, I think the Glinda in this video speaks far to quickly though on a positive note she is quite sweet and does some funny things. I do love Elphabas toss toss but she is far too smiley and seems like she's enjoying it, when she's supposed to be confused maybe. TUCKMAN ALL THE WAY! :)

I've got to say, I saw Wicked with Ashleigh Gray as Elphaba, and Dianne as Glinda. Dianne completely stole the show! Apparently the stage version of Wicked was written with Glinda as the main character, but when it was taken from paper and put on stage it ended up with Elphaba becoming the main character, but when I saw it Glinda was definitely the lead. I personally think she's the best Glinda so far (besides broadway), just because she completely makes the character her own! :)

oh my god! I love the german version of "popular" but this sounds just awful. and she is so annoying. it's not funny at all.

[LoobiieLou]

Dianne is by far my favourite Glinda! She makes it far funnier than some of the later Glinda's and is just brilliant. :')

Dianne Pilkington's voice changed throughout the performance - one of the ways she showed Glinda's maturing. Stop saying she's squeaky or annoying, she's intentionally doing it!

Just saw wicked last saturday - Dianne Pilkington was so much better than Gina Beck whose Glinda this year, Gina just plays Glinda pretty straight and she hardly got any laughs at all! Shame as its such a Girlie Role to sink your teeth into

This feels like such a long time ago :(

Aww Dianne is so sweet and quirky :') Why do people have to criticise? Each actress adds their own personal touch to the role, Dianne's is the voice. If you listen to the video of her in Les Mis, you will hear her real voice. She still sings amazingly well in WICKED too, even with her squeaky voice, I think it's cute :) People should stop comparing Galindas, they should see why each Galinda is good and what individual aspect they bring to the role :D Dianne IS Ozsome ;) x

do you have the full show up for a trade?

[MrShaunw9741]

@jhgfvfdchgnbvh no they shouldn't.....if they play was in a foreign country and being played in a foreign accent would you expect them to sound american...no in america it should be acted in american....if in England it should be acted in British......cause in case you haven't noticed it is in fact set in OZ and since no one knows where Oz is it doesn't have any set accent!
