The song “Popular” is the most truthful song on the Wicked soundtrack. 🎵 “It’s not about aptitude, but the way you’re viewed.” 🎵 Most people are shallow af. It’s human nature so why not capitalize off of that.
Don’t shy away from having a baby face y’all. It can go a long way when building relationships. People think you’re innocent and will genuinely help you but you can be plotting the entire time 😂😉 but all seriousness, some people will try to talk down on you and be condescending. It works out in the end though because they’ll be the bully and you’re the sweetie they tried to mess with. 😌
Chrissie, I am beyond happy you are putting blk girls and wmn on game, something very, very few are doing. Teaching us how to level up our imagery and control it. Thank you for having the conversations that we do desperately need!!!
THIS is the conversation, strategy, game thats gonna upset the girlies. I remember explaining to a (blk) colleague that opportunism isnt all bad- the uproar my god lol. Stop living by a moral code that NO ONE else is following 🤷♀️ (But still be a decent human)
Exactly, this is the truth! I’ve come to realization that some people just don’t want to be adaptable and strategic to persevere in life. Unfortunately, they could end up left behind.
The amount of "Glinda's the real villain" takes really shows this. There's a whole fake wizard strategically using their reputation to fool the entire country and strip a group of their rights, but she's a villain for knowing how to be popular? If anything she's a good example of how to use opportunism without going too far (once she started actually caring about Elphaba)
Woke culture has fooled people (especially black women) to always taking a moral high ground, even when it’s against their best interest. Being competitive is okay (obviously there is a limit) but I wish more women took advantage of opportunities that come their way and use their charming personality/ looks to get what they want.
Glinda IS the villan of th story! She HAS the power to stop these terrible things from happening but is too selfish to try. That's IS the message of the story. Y'all are missing the whole point.
@mimia.4810 woke is just right wing dog whistiling If people took the moral high ground the world would be a better place. Wokeness is the reason black people have rights.
I have always been the outcast, and that taught me invaluable lessons. After my recent move back to a bigger city, I plan to use everything I learned over the years to re-cast myself into a more relatable person. Being an Elphaba teaches you inner strength and self-love, but being a Glinda opens doors and makes your life easier. Combine the two, and you have magic🧜🏽♀️🧜🏽♀️
This was a great positive take on Galinda. So far I have only seen negative commentary. Galinda was flawed as a “friend” to Elphaba, but she was definitely strategic and smart!
She was definitely a horrible friend lol. At the end of the day she got what she wanted. I think the point of this video is to take that approach for some scenarios in life to get ahead but definitely don’t take it literal and be a bad friend
@@dianasohn2515some scenarios will call for you to be a bad friend and you have to make peace with that. Chrissie just said you may have to cut people off if they are known for the opposite of what you want to be known for
@@dianasohn2515 I honestly don’t think her not going with elphie makes her a horrible friend. It just means they have different paths to take. And be for real. Irl if an opportunity comes won’t you grab it? Even if it means you’ll be a bad friend. Cause I’ll sure grab that opportunity. If you won’t. Wow that’s good for you. You’re a saint! 🙂
I think some people have that aura naturally like princess Diane (innocent-like, friendly, goodness). People can’t help but draw to you when you have it (but also remember having a bit of mystery to keep them wanting more).
As an introvert it’s definitely easier to charm individual people or smaller groups over time, instead of the entire room at once. At least this way you can bounce from person to person at a social function. Look for the people that are standing by themselves charm them.
There’s only been two uploads and I’m already loving the videos on this channel so far! They are necessary and very informative for those of us who wish to or prefer to move strategically in life.
@@Rhianauniversityit’s a personality type. Chrissie mentioned a while ago that’s hers. They’re known as the ‘strategists’ and they tend to see life through an analytical lens, I.e., a game of chess.
Glinda was always self- centred and only cared about her which is not a bad thing. One to thing I noticed is she was very desperate to be liked by Madame Morrible, and is always obsessed with being liked, which showed her insecurities something.
Yep, we have to move away the narrative that a healthy body is offensive and most importantly stop pandering to unhealthy health habits to appease people's denial
Yep. As a bigger person, I am often ignored by everyone. Even your bosses at work will see the skinnier female employees as more competent and likable.
Interesting take on Glinda. Other key lessons that we can learn from her interactions with Elphaba is this: 1. Apologize to someone through your actions, not just words. 2. Sometimes your first impression of someone can be wrong. Try to get to know the person. 3. It’s ok to not be liked by everyone. There are people who genuinely love you for you(this something Glinda is going to struggle with more as the musical continues).
Glinda=Public Relations queen(or propaganda term depending on how you see it), her song Popular says it all "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!"
Saying your point of view is interesting, I'll definitely think about that. Is a great way to communicate. You're not invalidating that person's point of view even if you don't agree.
3:38- I love everything you said. However, being surface level is okay if it is a win-win situation. Nobody needs to know your true feelings or intentions. Let the moral nay sayers say nay if they so choose to. This kind of behaviour is a survival technique when you know life is not sugar and roses.
End of the film when Jacqueline questioned “why was Marcus with her if he was in ❤with Angela, his response to say, “ Exactly”. a lot of black males, where like “ He told her”. I was thinking to myself no, Jacqueline questioned his BS and really couldn’t care less if he stayed or went.
No, she doesn’t have actual powers in the movie. I used the term ‘’magic” to refer to her effective social skills and to go along with the theme of the movie.
She had magical powers when she was in the bubble bc at that point she was "Glinda the Good." She told the backstory on how she and Elphaba met and interacted while in school, and back then, she did not have any powers, or if she did she could not harness them yet like Elphaba could.
“Control the narrative of your reputation” 👏🏽
The song “Popular” is the most truthful song on the Wicked soundtrack. 🎵 “It’s not about aptitude, but the way you’re viewed.” 🎵 Most people are shallow af. It’s human nature so why not capitalize off of that.
Glinda halo aura makes it easier for her to social climb. Because she doesn’t really have to do much but portray kindness.
Woah well said! Mic 🎤 drop !!

Why do you want a positive portrayal of Glinda. She's incredibly selfish!

Yup!
Your take on Galinda’s strategies is so refreshing and empowering.
omg I simply love this channel !!!!
There’s only been two uploads and I’m already loving the videos on this channel so far! They are necessary and very informative for those of us who wish to or prefer to move strategically in life.
I am so here for this new channel about being more strategic in life….More please! This information is much needed! Keep it up Chrissie!
The power of charm is real! I needed this reminder so much. Thanks Chrissie.
I would love to hear your take on the characters: Matilda, Cataleya Restrepo (Colombiana), and Olivia Pope (Scandal).
Love how you translated her energy into practical strategies. I will be using your advice.
Loving this new content. It’s so INTJ coded
What’s intj?

@@Favoure8719 I see! Thank you for explaining
Such a great reminder that optimism can be a superpower✨✨✨
So true!
Glinda was always self- centred and only cared about her which is not a bad thing. One to thing I noticed is she was very desperate to be liked by Madame Morrible, and is always obsessed with being liked, which showed her insecurities something.
Went to see this movie today I can’t wait to listen to all of your material on it🥳
I hate to say this strategy, but control your weight. More petite and dainty women receive a higher halo affect. BTW- I’m not petite or dainty.
It’s a harsh truth. Slim.
Yep, we have to move away the narrative that a healthy body is offensive and most importantly stop pandering to unhealthy health habits to appease people's denial
Yep. As a bigger person, I am often ignored by everyone. Even your bosses at work will see the skinnier female employees as more competent and likable.
As someone who has been both big and slim, this is the unfortunate truth
AW been been taking advantage of it!
Interesting take on Glinda. Other key lessons that we can learn from her interactions with Elphaba is this:
1. Apologize to someone through your actions, not just words.
2. Sometimes your first impression of someone can be wrong. Try to get to know the person.

You attteeeee this video Chrissie!!!
Love love! Please do Jaqueline Broyer and Miranda Priestly in the future.
The new videos on this channel are refreshing and phenomenal. Will you be doing one on Madame Morrible?
💚💚💕💕
I'm loving this channel Chrissie✨
Halo privilege 😇
Great video Chrissie.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Love this new page
Glinda=Public Relations queen(or propaganda term depending on how you see it), her song Popular says it all
"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!"
as a person and my societal 'role' i resonates with elpheba but the persona i display is glinda it feels so weird
Saying your point of view is interesting, I'll definitely think about that. Is a great way to communicate. You're not invalidating that person's point of view even if you don't agree.

Does Glinda in Wicked have actual magic powers? Or is it just tech disguised as magic because she presses a button for her bubble
No, she doesn’t have actual powers in the movie. I used the term ‘’magic” to refer to her effective social skills and to go along with the theme of the movie.
She had magical powers when she was in the bubble bc at that point she was "Glinda the Good."
She told the backstory on how she and Elphaba met and interacted while in school, and back then, she did not have any powers, or if she did she could not harness them yet like Elphaba could.
This is the perfect of Meghan Markle
