Willemijn and Julia are the top Elphabas. They don't overact, they don't shout, they don't overiff. Idina, Eden and Sho are the runner ups as they are very good too. They're all on my favourites list. Elphaba is more determined and really wanting to do this more than anything else and is delighted that she's finally doing it but inside she is scared because she's afraid of having less power to fight back and Julia really captures that. The other Elphabas I've seen just shout as if they're angry.

am i the only one who wants the wicked soundtrack with her singing on it? she has the most beautiful voice!
-
I think this is the best of her!

Julia and Stephanie are the top two Elphaba's for me becaus rthey really get into the character of Elphaba which in turn brings you into the story of Wicked. And stephanie would habe been the first Elphaba till they dumped her for Idina.....just like how Shirley Temple was going to be Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz and they dumped her for Judy.....

@jermainerebeccaMUSIC THANK YOU! That's so true. So far I have yet to see a video of Idina that I think is BETTER than anyone else, singing-wise. She has more than met her match in the vocal department. Her acting was really good for the role though, so everyone will have their own opinion, but I don't run around saying things like "Not as good as SJB!" all over anyone else's videos.

what i love most about Julia here is that i hear ALL of Elphie's emotions here. Like of course she's determined and slightly angry, but realistically, she's probably scared out of her wits. She has just made herself an enemy of the frickin state, AND her best friend refused to come with her, so now she is alone and on the run, and you hear that with Julia

teal wicks!! then kerry... then julia!! :)

omg! THAT is Elphaba I tell you. and I think she really is smart coz she changed the tone a bit, which makes her stand-out from the rest of the other elphaba's who just copied idina's. I am a fan of idina, but this, THIS IS AWESOMENESS!!! :D
-
say what you will about julia, but in my opinion she has the greatest perception of elphaba. nobody can play the wicked witch like she can except miss Hamilton herself :)

@Lindow alltough i prefer idina i completely agree it gets really annoying wen on every dg video people are like " well she is not as good as idina menzel" when it is a matter of opinion
How funny to read all these opinions of voice experts! There's nothing wrong with her vibrato, it's actually the natural vibrato a voice produces when it's free of muscular tension. Keep in mind when comparing her to Idina Menzel that Idina more or less screams whereas Julia actually sings. Whether you prefer one over the other is quite simply a matter of taste, not a matter of quality.

I used to not be able to stand Julia's voice. But, now, she's starting to grow on me.
