LYRICS
That's why I couldn't be happier
No, I couldn't be happier
Though it is, I admit
The tiniest bit
Unlike I anticipated
But I couldn't be happier
Simply couldn't be happier
Well, not "simply"
'Cause getting your dreams
It's strange, but it seems
A little, well, complicated
There's a kind of a sort of cost
There's a couple of things get lost
There are bridges you cross
You didn't know you crossed
Until you've crossed
And if that joy, that thrill
Doesn't thrill like you think it will
Still, with this perfect finale
The cheers and the ballyhoo
Who wouldn't be happier?
So I couldn't be happier
Because happy is what happens
When all your dreams come true
Well, isn't it?
Happy is what happens
When your dreams come true!
So beautiful
The irony that she is singing one of Glinda’s songs and Ariana sang one of Elphaba’s songs - AND NOW CYNTHIA IS PLAYING AND ELPHIE AND ARIANA GLINDA!!
So lovely!
I know right. I'm so happy for them both
It's actually probably on purpose. They don't want you to have already heard the actress sing the songs they will sing in the film, they want you to buy a ticket or listen to the album!
And that’s what we call VERSATILITY!
Came here to say that. How awesome both of them love the roles so much. Should make got great chemistry and amazing performances from both of them. Whoooo is going to be FIYEROOOO????
Can Ariana sing in a soprano style or will they alter the songs so that both characters ‘belt’ their songs?
Her defying gravity is gonna be outta this world!!!!
I literally said years ago that her cover of defying gravity would be epic and now she is actually going to sing it 🤯🤯🤯!!! The way the universe works is insane! I'm excited
I’m more excited for “No Good Deed” 😍
@@emimamomu saaame
I certainly hope so.. its not an easy song to sing..
@@emimamomuYES SAME
I don't see how anybody could be mad about her playing Elphaba, she's an incredible talent.
I've wanted it for quite a while for it to happen
I didn’t really knew who she was until they released she was going to be Elphaba. Her voice is so beautiful and I will cry 💚
but grande is a big mistake! good voice and thats it.....no presence,timing,acting ability.....etc etc etc
She's incredibly talented, but honestly I think she's too old to play a naive young college student struggling to find her place in the world. She could do it on stage, but on-screen needs to be closer to the real age.
@@AStageForTheKingdom but it’s Oz, not the US. So who knows if the same rules about age and college and timing for various rites of passage apply. I think there’s a lot of leeway here as far as age is concerned. Plus she’ll be in green make-up (presumably), which will certainly help with giving the impression of relative youth, combined with her extraordinary acting ability. I do not think her being in her 30’s (both Idina and Kristin were in their 30’s when they played the roles, too), will be much of an issue at all for playing this role.
No because just thinking about her singing No Good Deed has chills running down my back 😭 that “FIYERO !!!!” is gonna be iconic
Literally I don't think I'll be ready for the power she will bring 💚😭💚
I think I’ll combust during everything from defying gravity to no good deed
Bro literally!!! I’m scared I’ll become so overwhelmed by her greatness I’ll just implode I cannot freakin wait!!!!!!
I just said the same! Can’t wait
Chills just thinking about it omg
Who else came back here after finding out she’s our Elphaba 💚
Here i am
ME
❤️❤️
Me well after watching Colleen saying it then sinning it so beautiful
Honestly a perfect casting choice. Both of them are such vocal powerhouses!!!
She's a literal Elphaba dream cast. The casting director hit it out of the park!
The director decides. The casting director just helps coordinate the auditions.
the director is Jon M. Chu, and he’s kind of brilliant as is. he makes really beautiful movies (screenplay wise) and also just has w cast choices every time
@@maciegoodspeed9670 I’m a fan of In the Heights and Crazy Rich Asians
@@johnsmi213so?
I can't wait to see her defying grafity!
I dreamed about it last night.
I can't wait for her no good deed
So exited to see how they pull it off! Will she start to rise very slow or almost burst upward and tower above them all? Will the sky turn green? How will she do the final riff?
So excited. I literally always get chills at the IT'S MEEEEEeEEeEEeEEEEeee part
Can’t wait to hear Ari’s rendition of this.
Cynthia Erivo sang a Glinda's song and Ariana Grande sang an Elphaba's song in different Wicked commemorations. And now they play the opposite role in the movie. Awesome!
Me coming back here after the movie, cuz it is the next track ❤
Can’t wait to see Cynthia play Elpheba. Beautiful voice. Roll on Nov 2024.
A lot of people miss the sadness of this song but she nails it. Awesome
I have never been one to fawn over stars,but I must say Cynthia Erivos voice has struck a chord in me I have never heard before,such tone and clarity along with great orchestration.
Yes absolutely! There are actors who can sing, and then there is Cynthia Erivo...
@@gregstorkwilson2745 Cynthia is more of a singer that can act. She's literally classically trained
This was one of the easiest songs I’ve ever heard her sing. Butter.
She hits every note perfectly her voice is flexible she’s a beautiful mixed of both alto and soprano I love this so much
She sings like a Disney Princess!😮❤❤
Her voice is so warm and organic....vulnerable!! that is what Elphaba needs!
Back here after Cynthia EMBODIED Elphaba 💚💚💚
Cynthia is gonna stuck her foot all up in Defying Gravity. She is gonna tear that song right up. I am so excited for her Elphiba.
we couldn't be happier that she's our elphaba she's a total icon 👑👑
Holy fuck, what a gorgeous voice. I’m so stoked for the movie musical now. Just… I hope the filmmakers know that neither leads need autotune and it makes the songs sound worse
I can't believe she's been cast for the movie, her angelical voice is just perfect to be our movie Elphie 😍
DEI
The perfection of her voice singing this song is like catching lightning in a bottle. It's so ethereal and captivating. So beyond excited to see her as Elphie.
Here after watching Wicked
ariana sang the wizard and I, and cynthia sang "i couldnt be happier" years before the wicked. our eplfie and glinda just switched songs ❤
She made this song as if her own. I can barely recognise the original from this. It’s so good
This performance is so heartfelt and beautiful!
Cynthia Erivo's performance in Wicked is going to be oscar worthy
This song, and the way her outfit is a love letter to the scarecrow. 😭💚
After last night's announcement of Cynthia being cast as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, this song without it's context perfectly describes my feelings right now. Wicked being on the big screen is something I've wanted since 2007. That's how long I've enjoyed musical theatre since middle school. Perhaps more than any other screen to stage adaptation. So brava once again to Cynthia and wish her and Ariana good luck.
💖✨
Ok I saw this show a looooong time ago NOT on Broadway but this lady's voice has me TOO excited to hear her kill Defying Gravity.
Well, she's been cast as Elphaba in the Wicked movie adaptation...
I remember watching this being a little disappointed that Cynthia wasn't chosen to sing Defying Gravity... I guess I'll get my wish after all.
She has a great voice but don’t you think she looks a little old to play Elphaba ?
@@MrSam0119 she looks very young to me
Cynthia and Ariana are gonna slay their roles I'm so excited aaaaaaaa
Woww her and Ari’s voices are going to be stunning together!! Wowowow.
OMG she's incredible. I can't wait to hear what she does with Elphaba.
She has such a lovely voice can’t wait to see her as Elphie
Beautiful rendition of that song ❤
Kristin Chenoweth sent me here
It’s crazy that she’s been cast as Elphaba when she’s singing a Glinda song here, and Ariana performing Wizard and I before and now she’s cast as Glinda
I love this song, this has got to be one the most beautiful renditions
I can't wait to hear her sing Defying Gravity and As Long As You're Mine!
To the new people coming in after her being cast as Elphie, watch her Tony winning performance of "I'm Here" from The Color Purple. She's way beyond phenomenal!
Ok I will
Came here after seeing her spectacular performance in the film.
This number was delivered - rather than merely sung, and by the singer with the loveliest voice among the many talented diverse singers in Wicked the Concert.
Notice, taking the end of the final note up and head voice for just a tiny bit to make it especially sweet. Not only glorious and wonderful, but also an indicator of someone who has worked and studied long and hard.
I can't believe she's playing Elphaba in the movie adaptation, I couldn't be happier for her❤️
OMG!!! Thank you so much for 100 likes❤️. It's literally my first time having this many HAHAHA.
I've wanted her to do it since Harriet
I see what you did there
Her tone is amazing 🤩
She literally has such a perfect face and bone structure 😻 Also obviously super talented and an amazing voice
Smooth as butter. Love me some Cynthia!
I'M CRYING. YOU DESERVE THE ROLE, QUEEN!!
She is just too ridiculously cool. Her voice is amazingly beautiful and graceful.
With this nothing short of perfect performance of Cynthia Erivo, I just know Wicked this November will be a life changing film for all
I've never heard her sing before but now after watching this, I really can't wait to hear her sing Defying Gravity this November. Its gonna be a fantastic film 💚💚💚xxx
This woman's voice is just beautiful, pure, and different. Like, I have chills the entire time she sings anything.
Smooth as silk. Amazing vocal.
Its funny that we have videos of Arianna singings Elphabas songs and Cynthia singing Glindas but not the other way around
That was breathtaking.
If never heard of Cynthia before her casting in the Wicked Movie... but I'm currently obsessed with her! What a wonderful choice for an iconic role... that voice is out of this world. And I love that she will clearly make the role her own and won't be trying to copy Idinas Elphie. I'm super stoked for this film!
Omg she is super talented!!!! This is the best version of this song I ever heard that voice!!!!!!!
Cynthia is incredibly blessed with that beautiful voice! It’s so crystal clear and she sounds like an angel.💚
Ok now this song! Total knock out! She givin Kristin a run for her money! ❤❤❤
Her voice is so good oh my god she's gonna make an amazing Elphaba
Who came here again after watching the first trailer!! Also I love she singing a glinda and Ariana song a elphaba song. There voices are so amazing and I'm couldn't be happier for them in the movie. Wicked is my favorite musical of all time I do hope the movie defies gravity!
her version makes me cry. it reminds me that I have nothing to worry about. I have been through a lot and I over came that. thank you lord
There’s so much power in her voice yet there’s a sweetness and vulnerability. Cynthia has a very angelic voice and it just gives me chills. ❤
SHe is giving me chills. I can not believe two such authentic and extraordinary actors and singers will play these amazing characters on screen. Such a tribute to Kristen and Idina's original portrayals. YAY. a screen musical with true musicians!
Very excited to hear she’s going to play Elphaba in the movie! Less sure about Ari but with her Broadway roots I’m sure she’ll be great too
I feel the same way. And yet, I've wanted Ariana to sing more Broadway since Hairspray Live
Wow! I love this rendition!
her voice is so warm and powerfull😢
Cynthia, you are a pure talent. I actually saw you first in Toderick Hall,s Forbidden...we loved Straight Outta Oz and Forbidden. You have continued to showcase such an incredible talent ever since. Kudos on Wicked.
Absolutely beautiful! Very excited to see her in the movie version!
That transition at 3:14.....wow heaven.
oh my god her voice is so pure and clear and utterly perfect. can't wait to see her as Elphaba!!
I can't wait! My Elphie! ❤🇧🇷
That voice! 😍
I seriously can't stop watching this.
Cynthia just has this *gravitas* to every song she sings. She not only sings on point, but you completely are taken through her storytelling and her journey. If you haven’t, her I’m Here performance is devastating.
Can’t wait to see this on the big screen.
She's incredible! I'm so excited to see her in Wicked!
I've been listening to both Cynthia and Arianna back to back and both of them really have excellent voices and I've been a long time Wicked fan and I teared up listened to these songs being sung with passion and heart. I'm hopeful for the movie.
This is so subtle and gentle I love it
Came to check her out after I hear she was going to be playing Elphaba. Her voice is beautiful! Very clear and straight forward ♡
Watch her do "I'm Here" to see the power you're dealing with. Not just her voice.
She has a beautiful song
Oh my god...her voice is amazing
I have never heard of Cynthia until this, she is so talented and I'm so pleased that she's playing Elphie
Came here for the first time after finding out she would be in Wicked with Ariana and OH MY GOD, I am blown away by her voice and talent. I couldn’t be happier that she was cast as Elphaba. This movie will heal my soul ❤️
goosebumps. i can't wait to hear her sing defying gravity in the movie 😭
Cynthia Erivo literally kills everything she does! Such a badass!
Mmmm that voice control at 3:16 is magic ♥
who's here after the wicked movie??
This was great but I'm a little mad that they didn't have her sing No Good Deed
No need now she is casted in the wicked movie! We can finally hear her version! 😍😭
well we’re gonna hear her sing it soon!!
I guess we will get to hear her sing that soon…
That part!!! She should have! And now she will!
Now she will have a chance
She was just cast as Elphaba in the wicked movie!!!! Great choice!
Wicked!!!!!!!!!!!!
So excited about this casting.
WOW!
She is now going to play Elphaba in the movie.
I keep coming back to Replay
Wow!!! She’s gonna be amazing 🎉
this is so beautiful, the arrangement, the strings, the background vocals, and of course Cynthia’s angelical vocals who were on point the whole time.
so excited to see her as Elphaba and hear her sing all those songs that are so close to all of our hearts.
And she has been announced as Elphaba! I couldn't be Happier! 😍💗
I felt the same way last night. This song was in my head
blown away, truly.
And now she's going to be Elphaba!!! I'm so excited!! 😍😆
Just lovely ....
