Mister Golightly hii

Hi loved the video, could you do a vid on alto singers that you like?

Mister Golightly Hey... It’s been a long time. Sorry I haven’t been commenting for like a few months. Hope everything’s good with u. 💜.

Hi!! I still remember you! It's always pleasant to see you :) xx

3:39 Kudos! Hahaha!

That's what trying to figure out🙄🙄

😂 exactly 😂

It sounds really nice ending on a g#

Bingo

🤣🤣🤣

Gurl you don’t understand how much I felt it. It was in my bones 👁👄👁

Can we get a time stamp

😩 Me too sis

Camara Rhodes all of them

TaiMarie Moore 3:34

What belt range

Guess who does though

all the musical theater kids wishing the had a good range 👊😔

@@zipzapzop6519 belting is a technique that allows a singer to sing high notes with power and ressonance, belting range speaks for itself

@@socorromaximo3852 I know, I meant I'm a theater kid who can't belt to save her life lol

Charlotte Claydon why did I understand this?

Yeah the ones where the go straight up then down are my favorites too

same lmao why did i understand what you said

3:38

Same

LMAO

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

IM DYING

shut fuck up now i cant unhear it omg

The best comment 😂

Don’t know what you’re talking about 😂

I mean, that is the point of the video lmao

And C#5

😂😂😂 When I grow up, I want to comment like you 🤣

rarely does a comment make me actually chuckle omg

LMFAOOO

😂😂

Old school cheat code?

me

that’s a whole mood right there lmfao

Same here I didn’t sing at all or belt and this hurt-

Same

True story! I noticed my throat prepares for high notes sung by others without me doing it consciously LOL. 😅

Chris King you would feel like you’re defying gravity

Springpetalsx NO WAY 😂

Springpetalsx I see what you did there

And wearing that cape

wyoming

Me watching any of these videos

Most of them are impressive 😂

😂😂 same here 😭

Adele Dazeem for you.

Stop hurting my soul

Relatable

this was a personal attack

amelia SAME! I thought it was just me 😭

Ling Ling would be so disappointed

Jesse Harte me too😂😂😂

David Wagner i think that’s relative pitch but it’s still really impressive

Specifically C# 5

I can go up to a G6 and I'm a boy and next year my school is doing wicked and I the lead

Zing Zilla ^^^

It's literally 1.27am and this is what I'm watching

🙋🏻‍♀️🤣

I need to work but yeah im going to be late

Zing Zilla ME. RIGHT. NOW.

One Epic for me it’s ohh ahhhh

"EO~"

One Epic I hear oh the entire time

One Epic from the technical side of singing, they’re all probably singing either “ah” or a slightly modified “aoh” sound. An “ah”/“a” vowel is the most open in the mouth structure allowing for more passage of air, therefore, less strain on the voice/vocal chords.

Kat Sheridan I was about to say this too, but I figured someone would come along and say it in detail. I was right lol

Amnesian Bro literally here at 3am lmfao

Amnesian Bro lmao it’s currently 2:54 am where I am this comment couldn’t be more accurate

Lol it's legit 4 rn and I wanted to go to sleep but instead I just hear ahhhhahhhhahhhahhhahha over and over

I'm dead 😂

Willemijn is just absolutely unhinged vocally and I love her for that. I’ve seen some of these riffs live and it’s actually unreal

That 'original Idina riff' is the way it's notated in the score

They have to sing it that way because it’s written that way in the score, especially on Broadway. They’re allowed to veer off on special occasions

@@HEADLESSwebcam what constitutes a special occasion?

Ellie Heaney cast changes, covers going on, muck up matinees etc.

UNDERRATED COMMENT

including audios, there are literally thousands, making it the most bootlegged show in history!

@@puddle7740 your welcome😉😂

If a scribble was a noise

Couldn’t agree more! Simple and nailing it always sounds much better than trying to do the most and it’s just so so

I honestly hate when people try to throw an unnecessary run in there. Not only does it mess up the cue and timing for the ensemble and orchestra, it’s just ridiculously extra. The role of Elphaba is hard enough and showcases your talent plenty all on its own as written. When people throw runs in Defying Gravity or throw a run or step up in the FIYYEERRROOOO of No Good Deed, it irks me to no end. Just sing it as written and I guarantee you people will still be impressed.

Agreed

Actually, usually it's day of the month. Some singers will opt for a less complicated and/or lower riff during certain days of their menstrual cycle because their voice can be temperamental those days

I actually enjoyed the extra notes. It’s the most powerful part of the story for Elphaba as she tells the entire world that she’s not being controlled and she’ll use her own power to be on top. So hitting those notes as strongly as they can and with their own expression of Elphies feelings, is the best thing in Broadway. And I love to see it.

Last time is was this early, Stephanie still was originally Elphaba

@@iAmMadeOfSoup last time I was this early, Elphaba was only a book character

Yarah. H last time I was this early idina didn’t have nodes 😳

Carlos Alejandro Alvarenga last time I was this early, Elphaba didn’t have a name

-F r a n k i e - R o s e- lol it’s a joke

Cuz it’s the end of an amazing song

It's her battle cryyyy

I did cry

Omg me too xD

Me toooooo!!!!

It's definitely Elphie, Fanny or Evita for belting roles

Effie White says hi

@@Karma.Sutera forgot about Effie. Man do you need lungs for her.

Yeah no, this is very low belting for women.

Mitchell Thatcher Elphaba is an alto role though so hitting these notes and sustaining it is a big one. If it was soprano this it wouldn’t be high but altos it is, and it’s more than control over the belt

Although it’s not all that high, F5 is a hard note to belt like this even with proper technique and training, so selective use is a pretty standard way to make sure not to overuse or even blowout your voice. I saw it a lot when I worked in theater.

F5 FLORIDA FLORIDA TO THE FIFTH POWER

@@IvyPoit "not all that hard to sing"??? Please sit down you definitely don't know what you're talking about. Very few people can belt out f5/g5s in CHEST voice. This is wearing on the voice over time hence why many performers decide when they will and won't go for that note. Remember, this note in chest voice is much higher than most singers mixed voice break.

@@anthonywill Good morning! Please reread what I wrote, not only because you are misquoting me, but because you misunderstood what I said to the point that you actually just regurgitated my comment as if you’re contradicting me. I quite literally said it IS hard to sing, but that it’s “not all that high” as in on a scale or in the grand scheme of these performers abilities. I specifically wrote that it’s “hard to belt like this” in chest voice, hence “selective use” so as “not to overuse or even blow out your voice” (THOSE are quotes). If it’s not clear, “selective use” means exactly what “will or won’t go for” does in your comment, and my “overuse” is parroted by your “wearing on the voice over time.” However, I had no equivalent to “sit down you definitely don't know what you're talking about,” because I am not the kind of person who is eager to be a patronizing asshole on the Internet. Have a nice day!

@@IvyPoit 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Yeah unlike idina menzel she has vocal damage now

@@tylergunnufson312 yeah and also she is the og elsa too so yeah... her voice had seen better days...

Lara Gómez That one was my fave!!

Yesssssssss 🔥🔥🔥

omg yes!!! rachel tucker is one of my favorites!

My favourite elphaba, got to see her 3 times 😍

@@rallyemadYou're so so so so so luckyyyyyy

So true

Everyone loves high major thirds :)

WAIT WHO

anne buffay 8:23 :))

I’m almost certain she was trying to hit G#/Ab since G isn’t in the C#/Db scale and G# is the fifth, which would make her progression a walk down of the C# scale. BUT either way it still sounds amazing and powerful as ever so I’m not complaining at all >:D

WILLEMIJN AAAA

@@annebuffay8695 Willemijn Verkaik Ver🎂

Vocal agility 😍😍😍😍

@@devonsiadavis2111 but also 👀 maybe just a bit 👌 overkill lol

Carlos Alemán Ponferrada that was her final flight on broadway

Kate Needham no it was tour i was at her last show on broadway and she didn’t riff that much

Carlos Alemán Ponferrada it's nice but a bit shakey

Tyler Riggs there is very little Willemijn can do wrong. Slays as Elphaba, Elsa, Donna, Rebecca and any other role she plays.

Camara Rhodes 7:56

@@kristianjapantoflii1429 Did you know, that she played Beverly Bass in Come from away? I just found that out...

Danna paola is amazing

X2 la amo

el primero le salió bien, el segundo pues ya no tanto pero está pasable aunque ya venía haciendo mal el belting, el tercero ya se le nota muy insegura y le cuesta mucho llegar al F5. El último no le sale bien.

@@stephanygonzalez5699 el último es el más increíble ya que se veía que no tenía aire para dar la última nota y tras sorpresa que si la alcanza, ademas para mi es la mejor de todas ya que era una niña cuando interpreto el papel y si escuchas entrevistas que daba a esa edad su voz es súper aguda y de niña, pero en el escenario su voz se escuchaba bastante madura. Por eso y muchas cosas más Danna esta en las mejores 3 elphabas del mundo 😎

@@klemenefmendozalira6281 pero actualmente la voz la tiene muy grave ya no canta como en ese entonces...

BIG MOOD

Me too

Naomi Coraggio I cry hearing the last defying gravity of Brazil kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jM6KdJlqnrTWmX0.html

FELT THIS

She’s done it in four countries actually. And believe it not, there’s another Elphaba who’s also done four countries, just not as many languages as Willemijn.

Jennifer Hiemstra Languages! That’s what I meant. 😂 I was gonna name the languages she’s done it in but I forgot one so I just put Countries. Lol and Are you talking about Jemma Rix? Because I Know she’s done Australia and the Asia Tour and that Rix is one of the longest running Elphaba’s in the world along with Rachel Tucker. Unless there’s a Third Elphaba that has done multiple countries as well?

Jennifer Hiemstra Oh! Are you talking about Jennifer DiNoia? 👏🏽😍 I totally forgot she’s done it in 4 countries as well!!😱

Noel Avila Lolz yep :) I actually totally forgot about Jemma for some dumb reason... And as for Willemijn, it was German, Dutch, and English ;)

@@jenniferhiemstra5228 but Jemma shouldn't really count since she was on tour and performed with the same company...

Correct

I agree that one was my favorite

Nah, I preferred the one that went"aHhhHhHhHHhhHhhHhHhHhHhHhHhhHhHhHhHhh

Which one was that? I missed it

Really? Which one? 😂 I prefer Idina but that’s bc she’s my favorite

Britney McGuire yes. Her. And the other one thing went “ahhHHhhHhHhHhhhHhhHhHh”

Noah Inchausti Shoshana is the Elphaba I saw. She was amazing. The next year I saw it with the stand in as Elphaba but the Glinda really shined.

Yrs lmao💗💗💗

F5s are hard for a lot of women to belt even with training.

Haha thanks guys! I think I’m gonna finally read up on this

Anything above an F5 is very difficult to belt generally, however it is different for every singer

The note itself isn't particularly high, (though it is at the top of the range for most of these ladies) the difficulty is in the type of signing required for this part/song it's not a healthy technique (like they do with opera bel canto) though they try to limit the strain on the voice, there is a certain rhaspiness quality required to "force the note out" with a lot of volume, sometimes referred to as belting. It's essentially screaming the note out (not particularly healthy) that's why this role is so difficult, it takes an incredible of stamina to be able to pull that off 8 times a weak without damaging the chords :)
