It's hard to tell where Chenoweth stops and an actual character begins lmao
I feel like she was chosen for this role just because she would perform thing song amazingly
I think there's a lot of her in this role.
"actual"
Even in Wicked, she was cast first because they knew she would capture the somewhat comical self-centered nature of Glinda. 😂

AAAAAYYYYYY WICKED!!
Thalia T. Actually everyone gets it and if you don’t, you shouldn’t be watching this video
Patti LuPone: *does nothing*
Everyone: 🤧🤧😩😩💕💕🥵🥵👏👏👏😭😭😭🥵🥵🥰🥰👏👏👏😪🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏😖😖
Because she is a goddess of musical theater
i agree with everyone
Can you blame them tho lol
Her presence was enough
I’d cry too
My good god she’s amazing. To be able to sing a song that difficult while being entertaining and funny, walking and bouncing all around, and on top of it all she’s in HEELS.
nwcam and a corset!!
That's opera for you :)
She's a queen!
That's what she's paid to do.
@@tillyegoodwin The corset actually makes it a little easier.
1:40
🎶Here I am in paris🎶
Fraaance~
Haha
Why am I laughing so hard at ur comment....?
Reminds me of lina from singing in the rain 😂
Why did I laugh 😂
Don't know if everyone remembers the Saturday Night Live sketches featuring the Conehead family (played by Dan Aykroyd, Jane Curtin and Laraine Newman), who were obviously space aliens, but who always replied to questions about where they came from by saying in a guttural tone: "From Fraaaaance." It sounds as if the audience for _Glitter and Be Gay_ remembered.
She can sing like that while SITTING DOWN. Do you realize how hard that is??? Chenoweth is truly a singing goddess.
feefifofum it is actually easier to sing while sitting down, moron
@@oaaooaooaao Not really when you sing with head voice, you won't have enough breath to do it.
Quỳnh Trần Ngọc Như you are officially an idiot and you have no idea how to sing
@@oaaooaooaao It depends of the position. You can be in a very uncomfortable position while you're sitting down.
@@oaaooaooaao You restrict your diaphragm when sitting, making it more difficult to have enough air(as it can't expand well when restricted). So yes, it is harder, especially with this song which requires immense breath support, to sing while sitting down.
Every single note sung in this song is out of my range
Now that's a big mood
I mean I'm a tenor sing it in any key and it's still hard haha
Me too sis
Except for 'fraancee'
Psh. Pathetic.
I could sing the "France" part
she makes those high notes look so easy
well cause there are not so dificult for a soprano leggero, she's a soubrette she has no wide range or coloratura
Excuse me, Franz, but are you actually saying that Kristin Chenoweth does not have a wide range?
You must be joking.
@@Linge88 she can't reach the peak of E6 in the last laughing part. She shouted the E flat here. Nor the D6 from the first part is a scream. She can't do a coloratura aria, she's only a broadway diva but not an Opera singer.
@@renzosalieri741 РЕНЦА -ХРЕНЦА,она и не претедует на роль оперной дивы. Она просто получает удовольствие от исполнения и доставляет удовольствие нам . А вы все ,задроченные эстеты , лезете сюда со своими снобистскими комментами . За* бали вы всех!
I'm a male tenor and I can hit those notes
First you shoo Patti LuPone off stage, then you proceed to own a song written for Barbara Cook (another Broadway legend). The correct way to prove a point, I guess.
she absolutely did own that i totally agree with you!
I dont agree that Chenoweth owns this aria written for Barbara Cook who after more than 60 years still.owns the aria.Chenoweth exagerated the funny things.Cook sang the song that was funny without exagerating only singing the words and beleving in them.Cheno showed the funny things in this aria Cook.lived them .Thats the difference for me.
I showed this to my voice teacher (principle soprano soloist at the opera in my city) and she asked "how does she move like that singing with her head voice?" I WAS LIKE "SAME"
Well when she performs, she doesn't do many movements, so I thought it was that lmao.
Basically her voice is all head voice. Hell. Even When she speaks her voice is high as if she consumed helium like candies.
I showed this to my vocal coach and now she wants me to sing it AA-
The answer is a very sophisticated sound system.
The corset is actually very helpful. It is loose enough to not restrict her but stiff enough it keeps her upright.
My adopted mom was a professional renaissance faire singer. So she sang in corsets a lot, as did I.

Gay and reckless is my street name
Oml shut up
@@j_ea8238 oml you shut up
Even though she is not an opera singer, but I truly think she should sing more opera arias, because she's got everything for it.
I was watching an interview she did with Conan (I think from back in 2014) and she confirmed she is a classically trained opera major...I do agree with you, I wish she did more opera!!!
I think it can be heard :-)
As an opera fanatic I'm thankful she doesn't sing more opera.
Jonathan Wallach why? (not that im questioning you im actually studying opera and would love to know why!)
Because she has a screechy thin voice that is not an operatic soprano. Listen to the Madeline Kahn clip of this aria and just listen to the sound of her voice when she sings the slower sections. Now THAT is someone who should have sung more opera. And if you want to hear what an opera voice sounds like taken to its apex, listen to early Joan Sutherland singing the Mad Scene from Lucia di Lamermoor from the Bell Telephone Hour in 1962. Yes, others were great, but nobody in the history of opera had a voice like that.
I've never seen someone sing opera and be so hilarious
If more opera was funny like this I might be interested
Michelle actually a lot of it is! You should try finding some. Opera is amazing:)
this is operetta actually hahaha
Hello fellow dink fam
@@rebeccahundley3742 do you have any recommendations?
Her dress is very Glinda like
"It's Galinda, with a 'Ga'. I don't know why everybody has such difficulties with it."
Dharusio Kay Because Elphaba calls her Glinda in the songs
@@janefehr2028 This was a quote from the musical, hence the quotation marks. She later accepted to be called Glinda.

@@dharusiokay9426 spoilers!!!🤫
how can she simultaneously play so perfectly and sing that well??
Simple. She's Kristin *the* Chenoweth
The same way one gets to Carnegie Hall: practice.
It was used to be called Musical theatre V:
@@dinascharnhorst6590 Yeah! The greatest coloratura soprano ever, Florence Foster Jenkins, was at the Carnegie Hall in 1942! Not sure for the practice time :D
practicing 40 hours a day, obviously
the altos are quaking
An Vong why yes i am
yes, including me
why you gotta do me like that
Altos and tenors are shook
Imagine being bass like me 💀😂
Doctor: you have 7 minutes and 25 seconds to live
me:
"I might not be pure but at least my dimonds are." Perfect and hillarious!
That pink dress looks just like the popular dress from wicked
ashton vickers it is the same dress
No it’s not. Popular dress is a darker shade of pink and has candy colored lateral ruffle stripes on the skirt. Bodice is different too. No bows or sparkles and has triangular stripes. It is similar though which I’ve always found interesting.
@@Mrnickstr89 yeah it's clearly not the same. The frill and bodice are way too different
@@thatsparklegurl1859 no, the broadway has a deeper pink, and the ruffles are fuller and bigger. There’s small details in a lighter shade and it’s more like a spaghetti strap. There’s no bows in the front, unlike this dress, this dress is a pretty light pink, whereas the popular dress has more of a fuchsia!
@@Niqhtmusic yeah I know I was informed 2 YEARS AGO
This should have at least a million views. The singing acting AND choreography done in this number are EXTREMELY difficult to pull off. She does an amazing job! Kudos!!
Ursine ComicGeek the reason this vid only has the few views it has is because there's another vid of it with 2.5 mill views
+coollmfao2 the original was put up out of love. this one's begging for cash.
You’re right-it’s not just her singing, it’s the whole combination of singing, acting, choreography. She can bounce around on heels putting on jewels, veer between moods, turn so that her skirts show her leg *just so*, buff that ring-and it’s all perfect. I love it.
Agreed! Kristin Chenoweth is amazing
We got there (YASS)
Probably the only time someone successfully forced Patti Lupone offstage 😂
I love this show but as a pacifist It bothers me that the fate of innocent civilians in war is treated so lightly.
@@anniespencer7879what
@@noirelune1229 The script mentions a woman being cut into pieces and Cunegonde being stabbed after being repeatedly raped. Not funny. I know the musical has some dark themes but war can never be seen as anything but evil.
Annie Spencer I agree with your point but what did anything like that have to do with Patti LuPone being kicked off stage
@@themonadospower3941 That scene with Patti wasn't the one I meant. It was one just before it about the Turks invading Westphalia, where Cunegonde and all her family are killed. (You might wonder what she's dojng alive in Paris - that's never fully explained , when Candide tells her she was dead last time he saw her, she just says "Let's not talk about that now." ) So yes the dialogue is amusing but to me, joking about war is one thing that should be banned. I like the opera in general but the war bit makes me uneasy.
as a soprano, she’s my gOAL
Im a mezzo so i can only dream 😢
Mezzo, my belt is very strong but I wanna start working on my head. I can sing fairly high (D6) but it’s not as strong as I would like. So I wanna start taking lessons, to prove everything especially my head.
@@miaandreatta6606 Me too! I'm a countertenor/male mezzo and my (COMFORTABLE!) highest right now is a C6. I want to make it stronger too. I can go up to an Eb6 but it's me raising my larynx, squeezing my throat, and generally unhealthy technique lol
☽ аиаѕтаsіо ☾ that’s awesome. I’ve been working on it and I can hit an Eb6 as well it’s just not strong.
@@miaandreatta6606 haha we're in the same boat! 😂 may we both sing that high one day with relaxed throats and healthy technique! good luck 😂👍
*"My song. You GO."*
That is probably one of the most iconic things Kristen has said...
*And she's said so much iconic stuff.*
like fraaaaaannceeee
When she said that I was dying laughing! 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm a big opera nerd, and a whole vat of coloraturas, no matter how good they are, can't compete with this interpretation. Believe me, I've heard them all. She is the best Cunegonde.
This role just fits like a glove to her. I share your opinion. She is the best, and maybe it's the fact, that she is not a true opera singer, but classically trained musical singer. And that makes it so amazing.
I agree. I've heard many performances of this and she is the only one who nails ir
Nope. No one EVER "nailed it" better than the original, Barbara Cook. Chenowith's mugging is insufferable.
@@AndrewRudin there's always one contrarian.
Just one word, Damrau.
Patti LuPone had me rolling at the beginning.
Is no one going to talk about "Observe how bravely I conceal the dreadful, dreadful shame I feel" coz sis, goals
I can't even produce those notes everytime I step on a lego block.
Wow! What a difficult number, and she is the best, combining Broadway skills with operatic ones! Amazing! And so funny! Shows why she is a huge star!
I also appreciate that joke she made to clarify about the word gay. 😂

LMFAOOO
This is quite literally the best rendition of this piece, the role was made for her
CUNEGONDE
Glitter and be gay,
That's the part I play:
Here I am in Paris, France,
Forced to bend my soul
To a sordid role,
Victimized by bitter, bitter circumstance.
Alas for me! Had I remained
Beside my lady mother
My virtue had remained unstained
Until my maiden hand was gained
By some Grand Duke or other.
Ah, 'twas not to be;
Harsh necessity
Brought me to this gilded cage.
Born to higher things,
Here I droop my wings,
Ah! Singing of a sorrow nothing can a__uage.
And yet of course I rather like to revel,
ha ha!
I have no strong objection to champagne,
ha ha!
My wardrobe is expensive as the devil,
ha ha!
Perhaps it is ignoble to complain...
Enough, enough
Of being basely tearful!
I'll show my noble stuff
By being bright and cheerful!
Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha!
Pearls and ruby rings...
Ah, how can worldly things
Take the place of honor lost?
Can they compensate
For my fallen state,
Purchased as they were at such an awful cost?
Bracelets... lavalieres...
Can they dry my tears?
Can they blind my eyes to shame?
Can the brightest brooch
Shield me from reproach?
Can the purest diamond purify my name?
And yet of course these trinkets are endearing,
ha ha!
I'm oh, so glad my sapphire is a star,
ha ha!
I rather like a twenty-carat earring,
ha ha!
If I'm not pure, at least my jewels are!
Enough! Enough!
I'll take their diamond necklace
And show my noble stuff
By being gay and reckless!
Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha!
Observe how bravely I conceal
The dreadful, dreadful shame I feel.
Ha ha ha ha!
Yep, definitely Glinda mourning the death of her best friend, surely...
Did you just censor........ the word..... "assuage"?
@@beek.4860 I had no idea “assuage” was like that as I copy and pasted the lyrics into the comments from another website without really reading them. Let’s hope it is not like that over censoring purposes, though, because if so, that’s incredibly over the top and I am just as shocked as you are!
Wait what’s bad about that word?
@@Niqhtmusic Nothing. At least compared to the rest of these lyrics. They just start with "ass", and so they might have been punted by an overzealous AI.
God, I love that Patti was on for literally 15 seconds of applause and 5 seconds of grinning at Kristen. Comedy gold. Whatever show this is, I wanna see it all.
It's Candide, by Leonard Bernstein. It's available on DVD.
It's _Candide_ and it's hilarious. The talent of this production is amazing, not just Chenoweth and Lupone but the whole cast.
She hit that note like it owes her money
So..... Are we gonna completely ignore that she did all this in stilettos?

*fraaaAAAAANCE*
She makes it look so easy. I can sing this song and hit all the notes, but choreography, like what then she can focus on facial expressions at the same time. AMAZING
Now I am in Paris
*_FRAaAAAaaaaAancee_*
Every time I watch this, the “Pearls 💅…” always takes me out 😂 the whole thing is just pure comedic and operatic genius simultaneously ….
MATERIALL GWORLLLLLLLLLL
And this translates to material worllllllll LOL
There is so much pain in this song. After watching it so many times, I realized that this song is extremely tragic.
Indeed
It's satire. The whole of Candide is about the horrific tragedy of human existence, and showing up the hypocrisy and lack of compassion of the human responses to it.
Chenoweth singing...
My brain: "CAuSe wE aRE LivING iN a MAtErIAL WORld. aND I aM a MatERiaL GiRL"
6:52 THE LOOK THE CONDUCTOR GIVES HER OMFG
Beautifully done. In opera, one normally tries to show the audience that you're the best singer ever. In pop music, you try to show the audience a good time. Chenoweth is grounded in both genres, so we get both presentations- which is a great combination, if it succeeds! (And it does!) That approach also suits Bernstein’s work.
Confession: This particular aria always struck me as the love child of Sempre Libera and Der Holle Rache.
YES
The sheer brilliance of this performance should shut up all discussions about which coloratura soprano sings it best.
Barbara Cook, of course.
@SymphonyBrahms I'd agree. Kristin is probably 2nd though. Barbara sings it better, Kristin acts it beautifully. It's really 2 different interpretations both of which are great
She may be the first version of Musical Glinda, but this is definitely the Novel version of Glinda. Phenomenal. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
voice and technique aside, i can't think of any other performer as innately entertaining and fun as Kristin, fills any stage she's on
In my next life, I want to be Kristin Chenoweth swinging a string of pearls whilst singing
imagine telling THE PATTI LUPONE to get off the stage. kristen’s power
It was part of the act.
@@SymphonyBrahms fully aware. i'm a theatre major, but also note that not a lot of people would be comfortable in that position
she is insane...coloratura yadda yadda, range etc. but the thing that makes this actually so impressive is her incredible, delightful, irrepressible acting and comedy chops. the way she pities herself, eulogizes, covets her own jewels, and next beat whips it around by intellectualizing, or playing with diction is just beyond, such a flexible and playful imagination at work, it really is such a treat. i mean don't get me wrong she sings it great and all but her acting in this is truly legendary. she was made for this song
one of the most brilliant performances on TH-cam.
If you can pull off this aria, you can do anything
God. That is one of the hardest arias in Opera, including queen of the night. And she made it seem as easy as a toddler singing twinkle twinkle little star. She's one badass soprano. No doubt.
0:49 “my song you go” that’s so cute kristen!
Reminds me of Olsen twins on Full House
BTW no one forgot to cut the lace its supposed to be like that so they can switch quickly. it's common practice.
JoJiJoJo THANK YOU
wait where lol
@@e-linamarie They are talking about the lace front on her wig
I believe that's the microphone
That is a small pair of lav microphones so she doesn't have to have an awkward earpiece one - they stick out so the wig doesn't rub on the mics
6:28 This part kills me from laughter!
Astonishing.Her beauty is only surpassed by her voice and wit.
I think she is probably like Barbra Streisand. She can do anything she wants with her voice.
For me this is a stunning performance. Probably the best version of this song there is.
I can see glinda singing this right now
Everyone gotta love her acting and singing talent
This is one of the most perfect renditions of any song (aria) ever recorded. Every singer should aspire to this level of virtuosity. To be able to sing this difficult music IN CHARACTER is brilliance beyond anything I can remember. It's opera and vaudeville combined. That's not just talent. It's talent PLUS hard work. Brilliant.
Don't know this chick. Probably the usual one trick pony like Damrau.
@@yogajedi3337 🤣
I don't know how she finds all that jewelry in the sofa, but I know what I'll by doing when I next go to Ikea :D
This is CAMP.
Absolutly amazing
Fraaance--the funniest note in opera. Love Kristen ( and Patti of course also)
Anyone else up around midnight singing this and praying the neighbors don't hear you? No-one...okay...
Super obsessed with this song now!
Nah i relate! Sometimes i be up till 2 just because one song leads to the next!
The patron saint of drowning out self-hate with blind materialism 😂 also she's like the embodiment of the Betsey Johnson aesthetic 🤣
How is she so absolutely perfect in her profession in every way.
She was just born for this.
She really is a treasure -- both as an actor, singer... but also a person.
The camera’s just as energetic as she is.
It would have been nice if Bernstein could have lived to see this brilliant interpretation.
I love Kristin Chenoweth's rendition of this song. Would love to hear her sing more operatic works!
It's 2024 and I still go back to this performance from time to time. She is so talented! ❤
GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRL!! those notes were amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!
it's like a roller coaster.. but in vocals form
I think this lady is crazzyyy... and Kristen Chenoweth does such an amazing job with it. This is so great!
I am floored at her skill. Truly and utterly FLOORED.
This song taught me that even though you are crying, at least you cried surrounded by treasures. And sounds like a perfect goal to me 🤣
Even her blinks are choreographed. She is truly amazing.
4:28 😂😂😂 oh god
Perlss
Kristin finding all that jewellery is like the ultimate version of looking for change in you sofa
No one can top her vocal chops or comedic genius in this performance. Lenny would have been proud.
I aspire to have as good of a legit soprano voice as hers. She is such a queen 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👑👑👑👑👑
Those camera angles are everything 😂
Just think - I was in the audience at the Philharmonic for this very performance of Candide in 2005. In the orchestra. Kristen is amazing - she has the low notes and the stratospheric notes. And she does the trills and twirls to perfection. And every word is audible, her diction is perfect.
Kristin is an unforgettable person. You can never unknow that performance.
I haven’t slept and I read the title as “glitter is gay”
OMFG
I didn't know she can sing like this, wow.
This women is an entertainer 👏👏
I love everything about this look- the curls, the makeup, the 50s prom dress, the way the corset fits, those shoes, and of course, THE JEWELS
She was wonderful in such a wonderful piece of music; the whole of Leonard Bernstein's Candide is a masterpiece.
There is not a sad cell in my body when I see these two on the same stage at the same time. 😭💕
“My song. You go.” IM DYING
HOW does she transition from one voice to another so seamlessly?!?!?! And every single note perfectly placed while she bounces around and makes comedy. She is a goddess, there's absolutely no other possible explanation.
