Kristin Chenoweth and Indina Menzel are the best Elphaba and Glinda to ever graced broadway. These two need to be in the Wicked Movie!
Dunkirk I think they might be
That would be totally "wicked" but unless one or the other is cast as Madam Morrible, it will not be.
Stephanie J Block climax in defying gravity outsold idina's whole run as Elphie. I STAN IDINA. but stephanie j block is the best elphie
'
@@JaySmith_ So, because of one actress's performance in one part of one song: said actress is better? I'm not saying one actress is better than another but judging one's performance because of a minute part of the musical is ridiculous.
C.J. Mancini well I mean idina did have some tuff vocal damage after performing as Elphie and there were other actresses who played elphie that didn’t suffer from vocal damage, suggesting that their practices were healthier, and “better.” Idina is an amazing actress but there were others who seemed to perform the role just as, if not even more better than idina.
NERD ALERT: throughout the show, it's been Galinda/Glinda singing the higher parts and Elphaba singing the lower harmonies and melodies. In a song where they have "changed for good" their singing parts are reversed. I always thought that was neat.
I’ve noticed this!!
I noticed too.
Elle Winnifred God, SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT.
i remember when i noticed this, my chills had chills
oh man i didn't even realize. totally makes it that much better...thanks for pointing that out!
I honestly think that Wicked will stand the test of time for hundreds of years, but no two women will do it better than Kristin and Idina. It was made for them.
No one will ever match these two women and their portrayal of these roles.
I don’t know .. Laura pick and Sarah O’Connor were awesome yesterday !!!❤️
Aas about to say. Love Laura Pick!
Both of them really said C H E E K B O N E S
Right?! I couldn’t look away!
Look at how they look at each other while singing. You can't fake that.
Yeah, watching this performance it's really easy to forget they're singing a song from a show they were in together. It feels like it's just what they want to say to each other as people.
I agree!
Even after all these years, still the best and still makes me tear up!
Yep
I agree completely. :)
Totally?!!!!!!!
amen
Bingo!
When you see comments from just a few hours ago, you know that the song is a masterpiece.
damn right, we love them crisp n fresh new comments. 😌
There will never be a better duo than these two for Wicked. The chemistry and deep love and respect is unmatchable.
the biggest crime GLEE have done....not making a duet between these two
oh my god YES. I only heard about wicked a few months ago and now that i read your comment I'm really mad at Ryan Murphy LOL
Ikr i was so mad and i still am 😂 like they weren’t even in the same episode! April and Shelby totally should’ve at least met each other lmao
I’ve never thought about them having a duet on glee but now you’ve brought my attention to it I’m outraged
wait didn’t they? i was just listening to it. rachel was elphaba and kurt was glinda
@@annabethchase4151 You're right, For Good was on Glee in season 2, but they were talking about Idina and Kristen, despite both having prominent roles in the show they never interact or sing in the same number.
I know a lot of people say that they are too old now to play the characters in the movie, but if nothing else they should have these two come back to record this song for the end credits for those who love the original cast version.
That would be a treat! The first time I heard the song was Soseanna Bean and Megan Hilty. But hearing these two is the first cast recording I heard the entirety of
they just announced the new Glinda and Elphaba ! Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo!!
That's a FANTASTIC idea and fitting tribute to Kristin & Idina. ❤💚🖤
My 49 year old husband died last month while scuba diving. A blood clot from his leg released and moved to his lungs. We were married for 3 years, and knew each other for 5 years total. Knowing each other definitely made us better people. "Because I knew you, I have been changed for good." I love you and miss you, Joe.
im so sorry for you i wish you the best
I’m so sorry for him.
I'm so sorry, honey! Lots of love
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad 5 years ago while we were both going through cancer treatment. He passed, I survived, but because of how he changed me a part of him gets to survive. Never forget that as long as you live, Joe lives on in you. That is what this song says to me.
So very sorry for your loss.
My middle school music teacher committed suicide a few days ago and she absolutely loved Wicked. We sang a choral version of this song in high school like 8 years ago and it always stuck with me. I’m now currently getting my degree in music performance to eventually get an education degree to teach like her. She was incredibly talented and did so much for our community and especially our music department. She also got to work with Broadway superstars. She always got lead roles in musical theater shows. She was a real life Mary Poppins. No one could’ve ever expected this would happen.
So sad that so many creative and musically talented people struggle with mental health - let alone in a global-pandemic. It's good to know you will be a legacy of her talent.
Dianne Raymont agreed. That’s something that not a lot of people pay attention to. Being a musician is easily one of the hardest jobs in terms of mental health. It’s often time why people turn to drugs and other things like that.
Hugs to you.
How tragic, so sorry to hear this :-(....
@@dianneraymont5971 Was thinking the same...she can build on & carry that teacher's legacy into the future !!!
Nothing, no one replaces originals in any show. Especially Wicked. Perfection.
Nope
13 years later and they still do it better than everyone else.
I can't imagine anyone doing this song better than these two. They are why I fell in love with "Wicked".
That harmony on "I do believe I have been changed for the better" gets me every time.
Yep. Eargasm
I started crying before they even started tbh
Crystal H me too
Same
I don't care what age they are, they need to star in the Wicked movie
This song never fails to bring a tear to my eye - when you realise that it's essentially a conversation between two best friends who will never see each other again, you can understand why
You can really see the respect and affection they have for each other during this performance, just by the way they look at each other. They had so much chemistry when they were in the show together. You can just tell how close they became working together, and how easily they sing this song together, how beautifully and easily they harmonize together. There’s just so much love there between the two of them, it’s beautiful. I mean, when they hold hands during the end of the song, and then they hug after. You can see they truly love each other.
Kristin and Idina: "Because I knew you I've been changed for good..."
Me: *ugly sobbing*
My father put me up for adoption at birth because he was very mentally ill and not financially stable. He spent a lifetime mourning the loss of his daughter (me), unable to move on but believing that he made the right choice. I met him almost two years ago, he had moved around between his siblings homes, never being able to settle anywhere or commit to anything or anyone. He drove himself mad but was undoubtedly the most incredibly selfless man I ever met. He was just suffering from so much internal conflict that he could not ever be at peace. He passed in February, and this song always makes me think of him. I miss him so much.
Goodbye David 💕
Because I knew you, I have been changed for good.
Nicole Stet
Nicole Stetz ♥️ & ✌ be unto you!
I'm so sorry. ;)
Nicole Stetz Thanks for sharing your story
Nicole, it sounds like your father was an amazing man. When you have the chance, read about the childhood of Greg Maguire (author of the novel). You may find you have an even deeper connection with this masterpiece.
My closest friend and I saw Wicked pre broadway in San Francisco. He died recently. He was kind, caring, generous and I miss him dearly. He was my friend for good.
Sharing the love of the theatre with a friend is a very special gift. Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss. I have a close friend with early dementia. Life can be tough but we battle on. My thoughts are with you AJ
@@alanstreeter7582 Thank You
@@ML-xh6rd Thank You
I don't care what people say about Idina voice. She sounds the same to me. She's always gonna be Elphaba in my mind. She is Elphaba and Elphaba was made for her to play. I love the way she sounds,it doesn't matter the time period. But this is just my opinion.
There will never be a better original Broadway duo than these two.
12 years later and they are still the best Glinda and Elphie duo💗
they always will be
Always...
of course! they always will be can't wait to hear the more duets from them as the years carry on
thank you so true
There is magic being created here, anyone who feels their eyes getting watery feels the power. It's very rare humans get a chance to see real magic before their eyes. This is real magic people. The music and their voices casting spells all around us. Words have power, music has power. Their love for each other as friends only manifests these feelings more.
I still say Idina and Kristin should be in the movie version of Wicked. Nobody sings the songs from Wicked like they do. They were great.
They should've done the movie a long time ago.
this song makes me cry anytime. they are not just actor but true soul of Elphaba and Glinda
Jy P I totally agree with you and I cry everytime too..
Barbara Hawkinson I cri everi tiem?
my best friend died a few years ago, and this was played at her funeral. when someone really changes you... really burns their way into your soul, it does change you for good. learn to recognize those people before it's too late.
Im so sorry
I love you
What a beautiful tribute to your friend! She was obviously very special because she impacted other's lives! Life well lived. May she rest in peace and in glory! You'll carry on her kindness to others because she influenced your ❤! Sorry for your loss!
Wow. A great song to sing to anyone important to you. At a funeral? I'd still be crying. 😢❤️❤️❤️😢
My best friend passed two days ago and this was our theme song through and through - the truth in these lyrics are even more obvious now💜
Much love to you, sweetheart!
🤍
So sorry for your loss!
So sorry! My feelings!
🕊️🤍
You can see the special bond. Wicked changed their lives, they changed each other's lives.
Having this performed by these two women approaching middle age, makes this much richer, with the maturity of experience behind them. The lyric and composition is inherently complex, so it is fitting. Almost as though they are finally able to do it justice now. these veteran performers turn this into real gold.
I concur.
That Adele Dazeem is wickedly talented.
lol!
Haha What about Travolta?
Thank you so much for that XD
lol. Love Wicked.
+Muffin Dragon he's Edna from Hairspray and can't stop the beat
they didn't get a duet on glee cause they would've been to powerful
Ikrrr
I love this version so much because instead of Glinda and Elphaba singing it, I see it as Kristin and Idina singing it to each other.
I love the look on Idina's face when she sings "It well may be, that we may never meet again in this lifetime." She seems to be saying to Kristin, "On your last night in the show, we thought it was the last time we'd ever sing it to each other. Yet, here we are again. So it was NOT the last time we met again in this lifetime! We're still friends after all these years!"
Rebecca yes
3:12
Elphaba got the lower harmony and Glinda had the top harmony throughout the entire musical, but this song, they switched. They have truly changed each other, and it's shown not only through the lyrics, but also a simple harmony
Jesse actually Indina is singing higher here lol
Maia We I said throughout the entire show BUT IN THIS SONG they switched
Jesse Idina is the higher key througout the entire musical they didn't changed anthing or switch here at all, lol.
There still friends today that is great
And then during the For Good reprise in the finale they swap back (Glinda on top) and it sounds totally different. I've always l loved that contrast.
Crying again for my dear husband David. 7 lonely years since you died. He helped me grow and changed me for good.
Love to you
Hugs to you. You were lucky to have him.
It’s nice to see people coming back to this video even after 5 years. I think that for good is one of the most tear jearking songs I have ever listened to. The fact that Idina and Kristin sing it together makes it even more special! 💗 I literally could not imagine anyone else in those roles.
this should be the credits song for the 2019 Wicked movie.
There's a movie?
2019 movie? still hasn't happened :(
Why does this make me feel like crying? I feel it relates perfectly to their personal relationship and it's like OMG they love and respect each other from being so fresh and young to now being seasoned pros it's so awesome
David Dye seasoned XD (Imagines Kristin and Idina with bbq seasoning on a grill)
I just cannot hear this song without sobbing. I've had to pull my car over before now. It's is such a happy song, I love the idea that you can thank people and experiences for the lessons they can give you. I love the idea of thanking and letting go. It also makes me think of friends and loved ones no longer with us. This song is so beautiful in so many ways.
To sing with this much raw emotion after god knows how many times they had to sing it - that is true artistry.
It has been a year since my friend ended her own life and nothing has been the same since. She taught me so much and I will cherish all memories I had with her. There are no words to describe the pain I feel from her passing and there is no amount of time to heal the wounds. Please if you are considering suicide just know that there are people who care about you. There are so so many things that happen after her death that she never got to experience or will get to experience. I miss her so so much but I'm still going to move forward with my life in memory of her.
Broke down when they held hands! They both look and sound so beautiful and it's so nice they get to sing this together again after all these years
Botox is a helluva drug. The girls look the same as they did when I saw it the second night it was open in 2003.
WILLAM
yaaaasss willam! love you!
+willam belli Omg how are you the funniest person alive!?? I love you so much! Cant wait for season 4 of the Beat Down!!
Must've had Botox in their voices too.
Willam! Love you!
omg willam im screaming
There are the two best performers of those two characters ever. The production will always be in debt to them.
This is why nobody can beat them. Their chemistry.
Graduating college in a week. Just cried my eyes out
Congrats
***** Enjoy it while you can! Best time ever, but it goes by so fast
Same 😭😭😭😭
OMG I GRADUATE IN A WEEK TOO!!!! BUT FROM HIGH SCHOOL!!! CONGRATULATIONS BTW!!!
Congrats. Enjoying this graduation present?
Look at the respect they have for each other. You can see it in their eyes! Two absolute queens!
I’m glad they stayed friends all these years
That's not mere respect. That's true friendship.
Respect? That's LOVE!!!
I really REALLY want/need the original cast broadway musical to be released in full on DVD or streaming. These two are my absolute favorites, and I need to see their version of the musical. I was sadly too young (and too broke) to see Wicked during the original run 😢
Believe it or not my mom had them play this song at my dad's funeral recently and as soon as it started playing all you could hear were people crying. And I can't stop crying now.
so sorry for your loss🫂
@@jamesarco27 Thank you.
May you and your mom be comforted, Lauren.
@@saratropper7842 Thank you.
This was sung at my brother's funeral and hurts Everytime I hear it but I can't stop listening
No other Glinda/Elphaba pairs voices go together QUITE like Idina and Kristin's. Their voices were MEANT to be together.
What's interesting to me is that you can see Kristin's and Idina's interpretation of this song has evolved with time. While the power of youth has faded a bit, the emotional impact to me has really evolved and become even more complex...
That's what I love about songs like this. The emotions intensify, and sometimes change, over the years as you grow and gain more experience. Like with the OBC of Sondheim's Merrily. They were quite literally just kids when they recorded the cast album and performed on stage, but when they reunited for the concert performance all those years later, they were able to bring their lived experiences to the songs and shape them into something more personal than they had been. Or when Elaine Stritch sung "I'm Here" at Sondheim's 80th birthday concert, you could believe the words she was singing because she had lived so long. Or at the same concert, when an unfortunately, recently widowed Bernadette Peters sung "Not A Day Goes By" from that same birthday concert, and nearly broke down crying (you could even see her fighting back tears) because she was pulling from that experience.
It's always wonderful to see young people excited about musical theatre, and performing songs from their favorite musicals, but their performances will be lacking a bit (not bad, but missing something) until they've grown a bit and gained some experience from living life.
Those harmonies ... so perfect. It's as though the song was written just for them.
I like to think that this is Glinda finally finding out Elphie is alive and this is their reunion song ❤️
Yess😭😭😍😍
Yes, oh you just made me cry more
+Angel OMG yes! Yes! Yeeess!
How beautiful is it to watch Kristen Chenoweth’s face when Idina comes in for that second verse? Chenoweth seems to be taking so much joy in watching Idina do what she does. Then the harmony starts and the song starts to descend like big tidal waves of sound. Powerful and profound.
I absolutely cannot look at what now passes for Kristin Chenoweth's face.
3:53 that smile kristin gives idina makes me cry every time
still to date one of the most beautiful duets written
And as performed by Kristin and Idina!
I'm so glad Kristin and Idina sang this one. They always bring something so very special to this song and their chemistry is INSANE. CHILLS.
That moment where you realize it doesn’t matter how much time has passed since the first time they sang this together they will always have the perfect voices for this song and we as an audience can feel the connection between the actresses it’s amazing
Get ready. It's happening again.
I'm not crying 20 years later, we're all crying.
Yes.
I'm at work like play this at my funeral 😢😢😢😢😢
One thing I've always loved is the resolution of their relationship in their voices. All show long Glinda was falsetto/operatic range; while Elphie was more midrange. But in this number they flip during the climax/duet; with Glinda going lower and Elphie going higher. Signifying in their voices the impact they've had on each other.
God that moment at 1:37 when Kristen looks at Idina and says “I have been changed for good” the genuine smile from Idina is heart warming!
I've seen a video of the last time they sang the song on stage as their characters. It was so clear that they were singing as themselves, not the characters (if that makes sense).
@@JeshuaSquirrel They always were singing as themselves. They are friends in real life!
Idina Menzel never ages I swear.. :' this version will forever be my favorite.
She has Botox for Migraines. Shes never hid it though and even if some of it was cosmetic at least shes honest about it. One of my Broadway Heroes
I love the chemistry between the two. It looks like they want to look at each other all the time.
Pretty sure they have the Choreography still in their bones after all this time
at 3:10 they look at each other so lovingly and so happily, this was their favourite song and it seems they missed singing it together
You can really see how the show has affected their friendship as they sing, it's utterly beautiful. I love that little hug at the end too, there have been and will be some amazing Elphabas and Glindas, but these two will never be forgotten as the first.
(Also who on earth are Nikki and Gabbi?)
Andie G you know their cut with them just practicing...i always cry at that. and galinda's last day...woah
Andie G Nikki and Gabbie are Sisters and beauty gurus on CZcams who just recently posted a cover of this on their channel.
Molly Donahue Ah okay
I can't help but think how the lyrics of this song is perfect for where these two women are right now. Both have gone on to have wonderful careers, and because they knew each other they have been changed for good.
This is the most beautiful version of this song to ever exist
by a mile.
This was my best friends funeral song and it makes me cry every single time.
I’m sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful song to remember them by.
I'm not crying you're crying.
Can’t fake that chemistry
Alicia Norrie Try the tango Maureen 😏
@@youtubehandle_kate Try Aaron Tveit and Gavin Creel sing "Take Me or Leave Me ";)
I just saw WICKED on Broadway and it was magnificent and magical!!!
The song reminds me of the people who are gone and those still here who helped me get through a tough time in my life.
After spending 2019 listening mostly to pop music, coming back to Kristin and Idina in 2020 just blows my mind. You just don't hear those technical duets and harmonies on the radio.
I don't even know why, but this song and performance just brought me to tears.
We have another one on the 29th.
same huhuhuhu
same
I know why. It's because Kristin and Idina aren't acting when they sing this song. They really are best friends in real life and they are singing it to each other. It's not often that you get to see such authenticity from Broadway stars.
@@rebecca8525 It really hits me after I read that Schwartz went to his daughter giving her a yellow pad and asking her to write down what she would want to say to her best friend Sarah if she knew she would never see her again ...
I don't know how these fabulous people sing this without bawling their eyes out, I love them so much
Kristen made me cry
They are both amazing singers! Bit it's the chemistry between them which makes it even better!
IM NOT CRYING YOURE CRYIGN
Same
You're right
People commenting about Elsa and I’m just- Honeeey, Idina was Elphaba before she was Elsa
Don’t forget about RENT
@@laylayoung322 True, she was Maureen WAY BEFORE she was Elphaba. 😁
Anyone notice how Elphaba takes the high part and Glinda takes the low part of the harmony in this- which is the opposite of how they usually sing- because they've both been impacted by the other?
just commented on this, then scrolled to see your comment.....totally
My best friend was interred on Sunday 8.15.2021. This song was played at her funeral. This song is so touching and haunting.
So very sorry that you had to farewell your friend ❤️
For the record: these two do NOT hate each other! That rumor was born out of sexism and a fascination with women fighting. After all, you don't hear rumors about Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad hating each other. Or Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane. Hell, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Leslie Odem Jr. played two men who faced off in a DUEL, and they were both up for Best Leading Actor in a Musical this year, but you don't hear stuff like "Oh, Lin hates Leslie!" or "Leslie wishes he could actually shoot Lin!" So, why are we hearing it about Idina and Kristen? It completely misses the point of Wicked.
THANK YOU.
I mean, can't you see that they are literally the best of friends!
i love how they sing together ❤❤❤
Selina Lee thank you i hate it when this happens
There was controversy back in 2004 where people thought Kristin left Wicked because she and Idina were fighting, and one of the cast members seemed to back it up, but today, it's clear they get along just fine
I sent this to the only best friend I ever had in my life, even though we haven't seen each other in years
I don't know if she will even watch it the whole way through, or really listen to the lyrics but I really hope she does...
I always remember when a teacher said he thought we would be friends forever because we were so inseparable. We did everything together, we even shared a diary we took turns to write down our dreams and plans and hard feelings we didn't wanna admit in person and then write each other replies and even though we were so different in so many ways it was like our souls were just the same in every single way.
We both gave so much to each other and helped each other so much through extremely difficult times and also had so many happy moments and I've never laughed more with somebody...
I know it was my fault, and your fault too, that we are not the friends we used to be.
I love you so much
So to the only person who was ever my friend
It may be that we never meet again in this lifetime
I don't know if I've been changed for the better, but because I knew you I have been changed for good. 😢❤️
I'll miss you and Us forever...
You can tell Kristin was charmed when Idina extended her hand. So exquisite❤
It was a sweet gesture but when a couple are singing a duet, it can also help with their timing of each note at the end. Watch as they punctuate each note by a small movement of their joined hands! Exquisite! They're both seasoned pros at the top of their game.
Their voices were MEANT to sing together. Chills!
*THE GREATEST TEAM THERE'S EVER BEEN!!! LONG LIVE CHENZEL!!!!* 💖💚
*JUST YOU AND I DEFYING GRAVITY! ;)*
Can we just appreciate how much of a boss Idina Menzel is? Between Rent, Wicked and Frozen, she's amazing
Yeah! Unbelievable! I really admire her!
Spectacular!
I relate to Elsa but Frozen can never take away the place Wicked has in my heart. But the first showtune I ever loved outside of context was Seasons of Love
My AP Psych teacher played this for us and gave us a whole speech on how we were the best class he's head in years. Then ended his speech with "... because knew you, I have been changed for good." And the whole class cried and he looked to the seniors (my side of the room) and smiled. Though this was fairly recent, I will never forget that moment.
I would give anything to see wicked with the original cast!!
the reunion that shook the world
i just want someone to look at me, the way idina looks at kristin
whose here for April 2021? love them both 💙
i am
Kristin and Idina together is just beyond beautiful, I watched this way too often😍
SAMEEE
Me: Oh cool
Kristin: I've heard it said...
Me: *bursts into floods of tears*
I do roll my eyes at people who adamantly claim that any one acting portrayal is the "only" one like you can't enjoy all the wonderful women who have played these roles but damn do these two give me goosebumps. I feel like, and I have no insider knowledge to back this up, that they are not best friends in real life and never will be but they sincerely believe these words when they sing them to each other. It goes beyond acting and nice singing and into something else.
They give me goosebumps as well, but so have others that have played these roles. This song always makes me tear up as it's the end of the show that I've sat mesmerized at many many times.
Some people say that it’s the perfect goodbye song, but I think of it as a thank you for everything you’ve done song. Anyone else?
The Mini Life Same!
It's definitely a goodbye song, it literally says "It well may be that we will never see again in this lifetime"
Countrycowboy08 People can interprete things different!
Isn't that what goodbyes essentially are, thanking for everything? Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
TuomariMuller Not always, but it could be
why are all the comments from the last 5 days??? are we all in the same mood???
I was about to send this song to my boyfriend to break up with him, but he sent it to me first. So the breakup didn’t work. Music is powerful. Life is incredible.
Well, we lasted 4 more days. Now we’re not together anymore.
Through my broken heart and endless tears, I wish you the best, my dearest!
Because I knew you
I have been changed
For good
Happy Halloween 2021 to you all! ❤️
