OMAIGOSH I WAS PRACTICING THIS SONG FOR MY AUDITION AND MY BROTHER JUST CAME UP TO ME AND WHENEVER IT CAME TIME TO SING THE FIRST "POPULAR" HE SANG WITH IN A PAPYRUS VOICE I CAHT BREATH
probably too late, but let me tell you one of the most sacred rules of theatre: do not audition with this song it's so overused in auditions that it'll actually lower your chances of getting a role
I love how Mika song "Popular Song" is kind of a response to Glinda's. Glinda: Popular! You're gonna be popular. I'll teach you the proper ploys When you talk to boys, Little ways to flirt and flounce. Mika: Popular, I know about popular It's not about who you are or your fancy car You're only ever who you were
Hailey Jean Me too, which is why I said "in this song". She says "It's not about aptitude, it's the way you're viewed", which is one of the Slytherin factors of this song.
So I just noticed that I've passed 1m views on this video.. crazy to think I made this in my room at 12 years old hahaha. Still, greatly appreciated! Thank you! Also, I'm going to see Wicked again at the end of this month - finally it's touring!
HOLY SHIT YES! Also, I'm doing Popular for vocal coaching, but I also really wanted to do something from Be More Chill, and only after a very hard and long debate on whether to do popular or Loser Geek Whatever, I had to choose Popular because it is more challenging.
The extremely popular girl in my school is the lead singer in the chorus. I am in chorus so I went to the Christmas party. And coincidental she sang this song with this video.
I've always loved this song so much >w< And as for the people arguing about which is better, this one or the Mika/Ariana Grande thing... Just stoppit! it doesn't matter! They're both great songs in my opinion! They're actually pretty different over all so I think it's silly to compare them! it's just the chorus and the lalala's! They're both amazing and I shall listen to both of them equally [well, depending on my mood XP sometimes I'm just in a more classic mood or vice versa lol]
I love all these songs from wicked. Especially this one and Gravity. I just wish I could actually see the musical itself. I wish my family weren’t so broke
I havent even seen wicked but when i was maybe four years old at a ballet concert people were dancing to this song and i faintly remembered how much i loved it and that it said popular alot so now ive found it!!!!
Yesterday I showed this song to my little cousins (They're 7) and one of them looked at me and said, "But Gracie, she's wrong. You don't have to be popular. That's not important." And I just gave her a hug and said, "I love you so much."
The lyrics : Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project! You really don't have to do that 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 be Popular! You're gonna be popular! I'll teach you the proper poise When you talk to boys Little ways to flirt and flounce Ooh! I'll show you what shoes to wear! How to fix your 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 advisor 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 popu-ler... lar La la, la la! We're gonna make you pop-you-lar! 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! Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. You're beautiful! I, I have to go You're welcome And though you protest Your disinterest I know clandestinely You're gonna grin and bear it! Your new found popularity! Aah! La la, la la! You'll be popular! Just not quite as popular as me!
yay! finally a video i can depend on and practice with. its correct and perfectly matched up with the words. Im singing musical songs for AGT 2010 and this is my audition song. yay! THANKS! (:
I knew I heard this song from somewhere before, I just couldn't remember where it was from. And when Michael from Choices' book 3 of High School Story sang this song after losing a bet, I searched for it. And it cracked me up that he sang this! 🤣
My daughter is doing a play about popular tomorrow afternoon and she said she is so excited but she is also very nervous I am very excited to see her in the play!!!!!!!!!!!🥰😍🤩

Everyone saying MIKA and Ariana Grande copied this: I've heard Wicked actually asked them to make the song. I'm not 100% sure it's true but it probably is
Btw the lyrics are "thought you PROFESS." Not protest. If she protested her disinterest it means she wanted Gilinda to make her popular. Profess means declaring. So it makes more sense. Just thought I'd share that.
Loll this reminds me of that session during med school when my friends said I badly needed a makeover and I said no but they dragged me to the salon and then the mall… and afterwards I did look not so sad 😂
![Beetlejuice - Say My Name (LYRICS) "I prefer my chances down below" [TikTok Song]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/QpMbyp0j2bA/mqdefault.jpg)
"did they have brains or knowledge? don't make me laugh, they were POPULAR!" is hands down my favorite line
It’s so true lol
yep ahahahhahhhhaaahaah :)
literally all i can imagine is heather chandler and veronica time to cry
nessitis ikr, The song Beautiful should be this xD
this is the only reason I still listen Tony his song,for the soul purpose of shipping characters.Nowbi have a new ship
That's what I was about to comment lol
can i get an animatic of that-
omggggggggggg
OMAIGOSH I WAS PRACTICING THIS SONG FOR MY AUDITION AND MY BROTHER JUST CAME UP TO ME AND WHENEVER IT CAME TIME TO SING THE FIRST "POPULAR" HE SANG WITH IN A PAPYRUS VOICE I CAHT BREATH
you just made my day
Katrina Iceheart PRECIOUS
Katrina Iceheart OH MY GOD
probably too late, but let me tell you one of the most sacred rules of theatre:
do not audition with this song
it's so overused in auditions that it'll actually lower your chances of getting a role
how so?
I love how Mika song "Popular Song" is kind of a response to Glinda's.
Glinda: Popular!
You're gonna be popular.
I'll teach you the proper ploys
When you talk to boys,
Little ways to flirt and flounce.
Mika: Popular, I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
ooh now i want a mashup
Oooo
Galinda is the perfect Slytherin in this song XD
Really? I get more of a Gryffindor vibe from her, to each there own I suppose.
Hailey Jean Me too, which is why I said "in this song". She says "It's not about aptitude, it's the way you're viewed", which is one of the Slytherin factors of this song.
+Emi- chan Ah okay, I misunderstood, my apologies.
It's fine! I didn't mean to be rude, I just wanted to make my point >○
+Emi- chan Oh no worries you weren't rude in the slightest! 😊
There’s a picture of Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish at the 2020 Grammys and this song is exactly that picture.
i lam be this comment
Yes
I can only imagine what it looks like.
This is just one long non-ending song of telling some lady she's ugly LMAO
I've been listening to this over and over. I'm doing this song for an audition
I did it on Musically!
+One Direction Is Awesome one direction is awesome 😉
me to!
+Directioner ForLife I love one direction
Danae Hemric same 💜
I've been wondering where I've heard the "Popular" tune and I just found out Ariana Grande made a song like this. lol
It's actually by MIKA but it does feature ari
Victoria Pinzon
It was a cover she didn’t make it
I do videosTM what song is it? Or is it literally a cover of this song?
Priya T I think it's like a mash up of being original and a cover? It's called Popular Song.
ua-cam.com/video/nmcdLOjGVzw/v-deo.html
Heather Chandler and Veronica?
No?
I'll leave.
i think of the plastics and cady
My OCs
They did this before the tunnel of worship
I can only think about Tsumugi Shirogane and Shuichi Saihara for dis scenario. Coincidence? I think not!
Cj Garcia A DANGANRONPA FAN- But why would Tsumugi actually do that
But just imagine....
Tony Stark singing this to Peter Parker
Why do I want this so much?
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Rip tony stark
Thanks for the animatic inspiration haha
This is gold
This is an adorable song! It's so cute, just like Kristin Chenoweth. The lyricist and composer were brilliant!
Yep-
Her voice is so cute I'm dying
yes ikr
So I just noticed that I've passed 1m views on this video.. crazy to think I made this in my room at 12 years old hahaha. Still, greatly appreciated! Thank you! Also, I'm going to see Wicked again at the end of this month - finally it's touring!
Omg we have the same names, Fiona!!!
Thank you for posting!
Fiona M *peralasis
Fiona Myself
Fiona M HAPPY DRINKING YEAR
Then: Being green is not popular
Then Gamora is a thing... and now being Green is all the rage lol!
To be fair Gamora is a literal alien. No one in space cares and Earth has seen it all by the time she gets anywhere near it. Elphaba, not so much.
My voice fits this song because it's so high pitched lol. I wanna do a cover of this now xD
XxCreative PuppyxX dooo it! Id watch it :D
Dooo itttttt
@@duckysguidetoshipping8930 I do not have the means to lol. No mic, nothing.
@@ericaploof998 I just do it with my I phone honestly if you have head phones the white ones if you have an I phone
Kristen Chenoweth will always be Glinda and Idina Menzel will always be Elphaba. No one can replace such legends!
I just keep picturing Roman and Virgil....
Lynn The June Bug 😂
Omg
Oh my goooooood i cant unsee it what have u done
LOLOL YES
Lynn The June Bug this and what is this feeling is Roman and Virgil
I'm gonna to sing this song for my audition, wish me luck!
have you done it yet?
+Girly Phandom Member yes I have and it went well! :)
Breanna Hancock congrats!
+Girly Phandom Member Thank you! :D
Breanna Hancock me too 💚💚💚💚
There was a post on tumblr like forever ago that had Glinda's voice as their headcanon feferi and now I can't get it out of my head.
That makes sense. A lot of sense. HEADCANON FEF!
1:30 I dunno why, but I love her voice when she sings this part
This is literally the squip and jermmy I can't be the only person to see the similarities
I can't be the ONLY one
Gazelle Tanglao I CANNOT BREATH RIGHT NOW
Gazelle Tanglao SAME
HOLY SHIT YES!
Also, I'm doing Popular for vocal coaching, but I also really wanted to do something from Be More Chill, and only after a very hard and long debate on whether to do popular or Loser Geek Whatever, I had to choose Popular because it is more challenging.
Another example is Heather Chandler and Veronica Sawer :/
KGJFKDGJKDHGD Y E S
The extremely popular girl in my school is the lead singer in the chorus. I am in chorus so I went to the Christmas party. And coincidental she sang this song with this video.
lord help me it's annoying but i'm obsessed
Wolfgirl22755 I know right?
I think Glinda's voice changes when she sings...
Is it popular-ler?
チェソドュマ no it's a joke😂
I think it's called placement.
yeah
Not really? It’s still recognizably the same person.
I love this song its my favorite I went to see wicked live once ! It was AMAZING!
this song is so shallow... but I am obsessed with it!
I've always loved this song so much >w<
And as for the people arguing about which is better, this one or the Mika/Ariana Grande thing... Just stoppit! it doesn't matter! They're both great songs in my opinion! They're actually pretty different over all so I think it's silly to compare them! it's just the chorus and the lalala's! They're both amazing and I shall listen to both of them equally [well, depending on my mood XP sometimes I'm just in a more classic mood or vice versa lol]
Just... Kristin is my acting idol. I saw her in concert not too long ago and she waved to me, it was epic!
I love all these songs from wicked. Especially this one and Gravity. I just wish I could actually see the musical itself. I wish my family weren’t so broke
This is awesome! I have a school audition coming up, and this totally shows my personality, so thanks!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
She has such an amazing voice!
Simultaneously needing the lyrics because I want to go through my whole Wicked phase throughout the duration of one song
Yesss
I love this musical!!! Kristin is my favorite Broadway star!!! Idina is cool too.
I havent even seen wicked but when i was maybe four years old at a ballet concert people were dancing to this song and i faintly remembered how much i loved it and that it said popular alot so now ive found it!!!!
It is definitely Ploys, not poise. I have been singing this song for years, i have the piano book, with full lyrics for the entire musical.
You are right Aimee McKim
Good video
what the hell does ploys mean!?
like tricks
justine schmitt Haha, homestuck? ^U^
I'm using this for my audition to get into this performing arts school rip me
I hope you got in!!!❤
Girl did you get in?
Who's watching this in 2019! If you look at it in 2019 put yes
ok
Yes
Yes
Yes
yes
yes
yes
I now have this song stuck in my head, tyvm.
Yesterday I showed this song to my little cousins (They're 7) and one of them looked at me and said, "But Gracie, she's wrong. You don't have to be popular. That's not important."
And I just gave her a hug and said, "I love you so much."
How do i catch the parts when she says PLOYS..BOYS.... my low voice can't keep up..
2:33 Glinda sounds like Venelope from Wreck It Ralph!
i sing this song all the time its really good to warm up your voice really cool lyric colors
im singing this for the talent show at my school and i totally fit this song because im in love with myself just like her I LOVE YOU WICKED
How’s it go!!!!?!???
Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I
And let's face it, who isn't less fortunate than I?
Totally not spoilt at all
Lyrics
Jk
Avery Harris 😂😂😂😂 yeah i hate it when people put lyrics on lyric videos 😂😂
Omg😂😂😂
Mbruh, why else am I watching this video 😂
Wow, just what I was looking for.
The lyrics : Elphie, now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project!
You really don't have to do that
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 be
Popular!
You're gonna be popular!
I'll teach you the proper poise
When you talk to boys
Little ways to flirt and flounce
Ooh!
I'll show you what shoes to wear!
How to fix your 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 advisor
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 popu-ler... lar
La la, la la!
We're gonna make you pop-you-lar!
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!
Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you. You're beautiful!
I, I have to go
You're welcome
And though you protest
Your disinterest
I know clandestinely
You're gonna grin and bear it!
Your new found popularity!
Aah!
La la, la la!
You'll be popular!
Just not quite as popular as me!
I am singing this for my musical theater class soon, so thanks for the lyrics!
I just saw wicked today and wow just wow
I sang this as a solo for my choir concert and it was so nerve racking 😂 but it was fun lol
I don’t get why people dislike this video 🤣🤣🤣I love this song so much
We did this song in chorus class when i was a senior. It was wonderful!
I just saw the musical. Beautifully done and want to go see it again :)
I’m doing this for my solo, I think I know the lyrics but I’m just making sure I really know them, so this was really helpful! Ty for the video!
Galinda is Christine Canigulas SQUIP💊
OMG YES
"I know, thats why im so nice. :) " Haha!! I love that part.
Love this song!♥️♥️♥️
This one is better than Arianna Grande.
I love both versions😍
Well yeah it's the original
I ran into a door listening to this ow
I like Ariana's better, it has a much catchier tune :)
This is the original version.
I have to go over this for my gcse music singing mock exam in the summer
Thanks for putting the lyrics up :D Love this song, I just made a cover if you want to check it out.
I realise I'm a bit late replying to this but I just listened to your cover and wow! You have a really unique voice, I love it :)
illcoverit

yall I gotta be honest...
the first time I heard this song was on musical.ly lmaoo
maya h 💀
I knew I heard this song from somewhere before, I just couldn't remember where it was from. And when Michael from Choices' book 3 of High School Story sang this song after losing a bet, I searched for it. And it cracked me up that he sang this! 🤣
My daughter is doing a play about popular tomorrow afternoon and she said she is so excited but she is also very nervous I am very excited to see her in the play!!!!!!!!!!!🥰😍🤩

XSuperNinjaExtremeX me too.
Just came from YGS 113
Same
beautiful singers....just amazing....my mind....BLOWN 0_0
I'm in love with this song
Everyone saying MIKA and Ariana Grande copied this: I've heard Wicked actually asked them to make the song. I'm not 100% sure it's true but it probably is
I love both versions😍
i love your profile picture, where is it from?
mr. sandman man me a sand ...wicked came way before MIKA and Ariana's cover...
yea Mika said he talked to stephan and he got permission to use the song and twist it x
This is kinda like those fancy songs.... o3o
My dad loves this musical, soooo much. Like, he wants me to go with him if they ever come back ^o^ But of course I would frickin' love seeing this!~
Love this song
I’m going to write this song for my voice lesson.
But imagine...
Gabriel singing this to Azipharale from ‘Good Omens’
i love it thanks so much
this is such an awesome song!!
I’m doing a audition for this song and I know the whole song, wish me luck guys😊😁
Lyrics:
Whywouldiwastemytumeonlyricswhenyiucouldjustlookatthescreen
Someone at my school sang this for the talent show and they did amazing
I love the way she says "Please" in this. actually I just love the whole song :P
The musical is like what Disney did to Grimm fairy tales... Yes, we like it but its nothing like the book.
Btw the lyrics are "thought you PROFESS." Not protest. If she protested her disinterest it means she wanted Gilinda to make her popular. Profess means declaring. So it makes more sense. Just thought I'd share that.
Sorry *Glinda
Yuki ! She pronounced a T very clearly
profess? uh, no its not.
omg my old music teacher had me learn and sing this song a while ago... haha! i think i will always know at least some of the lyrics!!!
Loll this reminds me of that session during med school when my friends said I badly needed a makeover and I said no but they dragged me to the salon and then the mall… and afterwards I did look not so sad 😂
Nearly 2million views!!
fuzzyfriend112 aj yay!!!
AceOfHearts LPS XD
THEY PLAYED THIS AT SCHOOL
Some_Nobody_On_The_Internet omg cool!
I love this song!
2018 anyone?
