Popular

I sing "Popular" from Wicked in Music Studio Class, with my friend Val as Elphaba.

Here are the lyrics and lines in case you can't hear them (the hall is very "hot" sound-wise, sorry about that):
G: Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project.
E: You really don't have to do that.
G: I know. That's what makes me so nice!
Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I
(and let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than I?)
my tender heart tends to start to bleed.
And when someone needs a makeover I simply have to take over
I know, I know; exactly what they need.
And even in your case
(though it's the toughest case I've yet to face)
don't worry, I'm determined to succeed!
Follow my lead and yes indeed you will bepopular.
You're gonna be popular.
I'll teach you the proper ploys when you talk to boys,
little ways to flirt and flounce-oh!
I'll show you what shoes to wear, how to fix that hair,
everything that really counts to be popular.
I'll help you be popular.
You'll hang with the right cohorts,
you'll be good at sports,
know the slang you've got to know,
so let's start, cause you've got an awfully long way to go!
Don't be offended by my frank analysis;
think of it as personality dialysis.
Now that I've chosen to become a pal, a sister and adviser,
there's nobody wiser,
not when it comes to popular.
I know about popular.
And with an assist from me to be who you'll be
instead of dreary who you were-well, are...
There's nothing that can stop you from becoming populer. -lar.
La, la, la, la, we're gonna make you popular.
When I see depressing creatures with unprepossessing features,
I remind them on their own behalf to think of celebrated heads of state,
or specially great communicators.
Did they have brains or knowledge? Don't make me laugh!
They were popular. Please! It's all about popular.
It's not about aptitude, it's the way you're viewed, so it's very shrewd to be
very very popular, like me!
E: This is never going to work.
G: Oh, Elphie! Your whole life is about to change, and all because of me. Let me show you how to flip your hair. You just flip it... Just flip it. Or you could use your hand... Ok, enough of that. Stand!
I will now transform your simple frock into a beautiful ball gown. Ball gown. Ball GOWN. Is this thing on?
E: You want me to try?
G: Oh, just wear the frock, it's pretty!
Now for the finishing touch... Why Ms. Elphaba, look at you! You're beautiful.
E: I have to go.
G: You're welcome!
And though you protest your disinterest,
I know clandestinely...
You're gonna grin and bear it, your newfound popularity!
(laughs)
La, la, la, la, you'll be popular,
just not quite as popular as me!
