I feel like Kristin Chenoweth can never not be good. She is amazing.
Charo D. I agree
Agreeeed
I love her so much
Agree
I love the girl with her was just vibing
is no one gonna talk about how well Lea preserved her voice?? like 30 years later she still sounds like the og Kim (considering how hard of a role Kim is) and it makes me so emo
Lea is the best of the best. Mandy Patinkin and Patti Lupone are still fantastic as well.
On a Philippine TV show she actually says during the production of Miss Saigon she was losing her voice but they/someone payed for her to get lessons in classical training so her voice wouldn't get ruined.
@@kawaii33366 that's because the vocal cords are such tiny muscles that its easy to detect when were hurting them. They will always tell us when were hurting them or using unnecessary tension to produce a sound. With singing, we know exactly when were using the muscles correctly and we make sure we dont injure them with things such as rest and consistent exercising.
I saw her in a production of Sweeney Todd last year on October in the Philippines. She still sounds spectacular!
Ok but LEA SALONGA. WHAT EVEN. She obviously sounds slightly older because she was 18, but she is FORTY-SEVEN YEARS OLD and sounding ALMOST IDENTICAL. The fact that she's been singing all these years and managed to do that?!?!?
Genuinely proud to be a Filipino :)
@@Angelica-gb7ii normie
씨재이 shut the fuck up you fermented sack of 97 year old bubonic plauge cells lookin ass
@@Angelica-gb7ii JEsus christ hahahahahahaha
Potat TM But, it’s funny
okay is nobody gonna talk about the improvement from adam pascal?? he literally sounded like he was damaging his voice so much in the 90s and then recently his voice sounds so much healthier and easier!!
He had therapy and retraining for a voice disorder.
Saw him live in the Something Rotten tour and it’s true he sounded so great!
when they did RENT he was an unknown raw talent with no training. It was exactly right for the part at the time. His technique changed when he got more experience.
Totally gave me grunge vibes in the 90s version, I kinda liked it haha
I was actually stunned. He took the rasp that was there due to damage and turned it into an effect he trigger on command.
Patti LuPone just got better honestly
RIGHT?
Agreedddddd i thought the younger version was meh compared to her older one
I was thinking the same thing, the potent power of it all👏🏿👏🏾🤷🏿♂️
agreed! ethereal
Agreed. That woman is the mother nature herself. Her voice is a hurricane.
Mandy Patinkin ages like fine wine
I never knew he was on Broadway I only knew him from criminal minds like wow he's good
You mean the newest Dread Pirate Roberts?
MMM
The woman next to him does to
Brian Toal 😬
i can’t with Lea Solanga like that woman can STILL sing everything
Ted Newley singing above a B at 75..?!! God bless him.
Actually I was worried when he sang the recent one. It sounded a bit wrong to my ears. I hope he didn't hurt himself because it sounds like that to me.
@@artieskuld6858 Notice though how for the big note it switches to the TV spot? I saw him play Jesus in 2010 and he nailed the note, and I saw him again December 2018 and he marked it. No one can blame him, but he's not hitting it like that anymore
Yeah I was amazed by that too!
Everyone in Wicked was almost 40, while I thought they were in their 20s. Especially Kristin and Idina!
Yeah holy shit I saw those ages and was like waaaaaat
Yep other than Danna Paola who was 17 when casted as Elphaba most of the wicked cast are/were over 30.
MISS👏 LU👏 PONE👏
Admittedly, she's gotten a lot more twangy, but the fact that she's able to belt it out comparably to the original alone says how great her voice is.
I guess she adapted her technique to her age
I heard her singing live this year and man oh man her voice has held up well!
Is it weird that for me, her voice has gotten sooooo much better with age. Not to say that she didn’t sound BOMB when she was younger but it has this richness now
Yeah i was shocked
@@meganfrigerio2274 Totally feel you. It's SO rich now.
Mandy Patinkin, Norbert Leo Butz, Colm Wilknson, Bernadette Peters, Patti Lupone and Kristin Chenoweth.... their voices aged beautifully
Yeah I thought Mandy Patinkin actually sounded better in the 2018 clip lol
what about Lea
Ethel Merman too!
@@samisntalesbian2349 her voice didn't age
Kristin sounds the same
I was today years old when I found out Lea Salonga was 47, she looks so young and sounds amazing still!
Lea Salonga, not Salonica. I agree with your statement, however :)
Salonica😂😂😂😂😂
i forgot about this comment! autocorrect really made me look like a fool😔
thiquest no it’s fine,it was kinda cute 😂
literally adam pascal had a glow up what is that
IKR and he sounded even better ten years later when
7:45
That mic was covered entirely with lipstick...a clear sign that Jennifer Holliday SAAANG her behind off that night! 😍😍
Ok but like Bernadette needs to tell us where she found the Fountain of Youth...lol
She didn't...she sent out people to gather ingredients for a youth potion
@@NairAthul YES!!! XD
She made a deal with Sondheim.
Probably in an operating theater...
It's called SPF. Wear it every day lmao
Wooow!!! Bernadette Peters just look sooooooo young with 60 years old.
Everyone still got it more or less, but I teared up a little with Colm Wilkinson at the end.
Alex Ob Cas yes! Cook Wilkinson was better than ever!
Alex Ob Cas heyyyy love your animatics!!!
@@courtneywilliams634 hehehe thank you
YESSSS I AM IN LOVE💞
the colm wilkinson one actually took my breath away my god. and i cannot BELIEVE that ted neeley is 75 whole ass years old and he still hits that gethsemane note PERFECTLY??? so blown away.
I KNOW RIGHT?! Insane!
Sarah Brightman was just screaming.
Screaming with technique, pretty much 😂
Pretty much, sadly
That’s just me when I try to hit those high notes
She was always screaming
I actually just worked with her in concert. This clip was a really bad representation of her recently, as I found her to be quite amazing when I witnessed when she sang that song live
Patti, Kristin, Lea, Bernadette, and Idina are all queens
*NORBERT IS THE BIGGEST QUEEN*
Well duh
I AM FOREVER AMAZED AT HOW TED NEELEY CAN STILL DO THE HIGH NOTES NOW
PS I appreciate the love for Barbara Walsh
For anyone else that's wondering:
0:07 The Phantom of the Opera/The Phantom of the Opera

Thank you so much
I feel like the only person who actually really likes Idina Menzel
b r o o ke no i love her
We stab.
False news
India is a QUEEN I love her so much
A LOT of people love Idina, believe me.
lea& simon killed it
The fact Ted can still still hit that high note at nearly 80 is amazing
I would kill for Ethel's breath support!!!
BREATHE DEEP TO THE TAILBONE...PRACTICE HOLDING YOUR BREATHE. Think of the body as a barrel and hold the walls of your stomach back and sides out as you slowly breathe out. You will gain strength
I stand by that Lea Salonga was and still is one of the greatest gems of musical theatre anywhere in the world. Her voice brings chills
I'm always in love with Bernadette Peters! Also, Patti Lupone and Kristin Chenoweth are still hot stuff. To be honest, though, I never cared for Sarah's singing very much and I like it even less now. Her tone sounds nice, but everything about her technique has always sounded so forced to me.
Kayla Mueller She has to force herself more now because of what singing high notes for 30 years have done to her voice
I have so many singers left but the video was getting so long. Perhaps a part 2? ;)
*Miss Holliday had 22 in that Tony perfomance, not 23
YES!!!! PART II!!!
Definitely!
yes pleaseeee
Yes please!
Just one question Lin Manuel Miranda counts?
This was an amazing idea! Absolute YES to Part 2 please! 😁
Sarah: Her vocal abilities aged like milk, sorry hon, but you just can't do it anymore.
Mandy: Aged very well like a fine wine.
Adam: Well done but a bit of rasp.
Simon and Lea: Simon has aged but Lea is still amazing as always.
Patti: Like Mandy, aged like a fine wine a very FINE WINE.
Ted: Raspy but the high note, WOW!
Barbra: Pretty good.
Kristen: This lady is superhuman I swear. Aged like a very expensive fine wine to perfection.
Norbert: Wow aged very well.
Ethel: Another fine wine aged voice.
Jennifer: Another fine wine aged one.
Bernadette: *Whistles impressed*
Idina: Still a great singer, but the belting she has done has damaged her chords.
Colm: Wow again.
I mean, pretty bang on, Idina would be so much better is she hadn’t belted that Defying Gravity ‘MEEEEEEEE DOOOOWNNN’
UnicornsWithArchie more or so taken better care of her vocal cords, hearing more renditions in Broadway now compared to her, the fact the girls are able to sound the almost the exact same as their start of their run to the end shows the fact she never took care of her vocals
Yeah Jennifer didn't age well man. She's making the vibrato noise manually by moving her jaw, it's not proper technique. There's also the fact she has lost the range of her voice too...
Agree with all of this minus Merman. But to be honest, in my opinion, Merman was never good. But her voice did keep its sound.
You can’t really tell Idina’s vocal damage considering she was singing in a lower key in the 2018 clip
Singers change keys all the time, please.
I don't think techincally difficult singing can kill a good voice if you've had proper training. But forcing it without proper training will, and so will singing when you're suffering from a resüiratory illness. I don't know the exact link but I'm sure I've seen at least one clip of Idina here where someone remarked on her sounding different and someone else proceeded to mention that she had been ill at the time. It's practically like dancing on pointe while already having a stress fracture in the foot.
@@christianealshut1123 It's called vocal nodules, and for sure she had them. She had to get surgery and the regular stuff. Sometimes it doesn't even matter if you use proper technique or not, simply singing too much can bring about nodules. That is why it is very important to rest it as much as possible, especially if you are in show business. Julie Andrews had vocal nodules, and she was a stellar singer, yet she sang too much
The woman belts note for a living what do you expect even singing deeper it’s not gonna get better my voice is so shaky and damaged when I talk from belting notes 8 times a weeks and I’m only 14
@@uhmno7944 Take voice lessons, or don't belt at all. It's not for everyone. Work on a lighter head voice, not hitting those notes with chest voice (especially if you are a girl, considering men's vocal cords are thicker and generally can sustain some abuse)
*Growth has entered the chat*
It’s amazing how well preserved their voices are!
Black Manta cept for Idina Menzel 😏😏
SarcasticNerd and Sarah
Idina Menzel's Wicked performance in 2003 gave me chills
Idina >>>>>>>>> any of the robots sounding decent Elphaba, that’s why she’s the star, not the replacement.
This is gonna sound odd, but Colm Wilkinson is who made me love theater. I always loved the novel Les Miserables, and when I first saw him sing, I almost cried because he looked exactly like how I pictured Jean Valjean. Even if it was on a poor quality vid on TH-cam.
So... Yeah.
I first encountered his voice on the Canadian Cast recording of Phantom of the Opera when I was perhaps 6 years old, and when I "graduated" to Les Mis (still love POTO but my tastes changed a bit) and found out it was the same person, I just needed to hear everything from him. Saw him in concert a few years back and it was one of the best nights of my life.
@@zeladoni3949 You're so lucky. I don't exactly live in a land of opportunities, so I'll probably never get to see any of the people I idolize perform live. But at least there's the Internet.😅😊
@@gianinamorales8597 me too, the country where I live.,No one knows what Broadway is .
Look for the Canadian cast of the Phantom of the Opera he is the Phantom! I know it's available on spotify and amazon music for streaming
Whoever dressed Sarah Brightman in the recent one committed a crime against fashion.
Also Mandy P, Simon, Patti, Ted Neely and Lea just remain amazing.
Well, to be fair, she was being accompanied by the kids from School of Rock. :-)
Lea salonga just gets better and better with age
10:31 Kudos to whoever let Colm Wilkinson finish the highest note.
Ramin Karimloo, he's the best (in my opinion, but there are lots of extremely talented artists so it really just boils down to personal preference). In fact, Colm Wilkinson is the man who inspired him to become a musical theatre star.
No joke just teared up in that last clip of Colm Wilkinson. That is incredibly beautiful and moving that he transitioned to the Bishop after so many years of service to the show as Valjean.
I feel like Jennifer Holiday is so underrated and overlooked so thank you for including her! ❤️
Imagine having Colm Wilkinson singing you too sleep, his voice is just so soothing 😍
I want to age like Bernadette Peters! Just, hot damn.
Danielle Hagood ikr
As a Filipino, I'm glad Lea was representing her country while doing broadway, and overall, she gave me some pretty good chills.
also, Ted Neeley; does *NOT* look a day over 75. How??
Concerning Ted Neeley, the camera was pretty far away in the second clip, that's all. HGonestly, that man HAS talent, though I'm not the biggest fan of his way of singing - but to build his entire career on this ONE character? I've never heard about him playing anything else...
Thank u for including Adam 💕
Sarah's vibrato sounds forced to me. I don't know why
That's cause it is. When its slow like that, it's usually not natural, and it sounds so weird in general
After singing those high notes for 30 years, it doesn’t take a hit on your voice
@@Love.Ruby. But the older clip had that same vibrato
She's wobbling.
WHY DOES NO ONE EVER TALK ABOUT NORBERT LEO BUTZ’S VIBRATO
Colm Wilkinson, Patti Lupone and Lea Salonga remained legendary.
Mandy was amazing too... ETHEL IMPROVED LMAO
Gosh, nothing changed to Lea's voice! 😍
Colm Wilkinson, wow just wow. Even at 70 he still sounds just as good if not better. So good.
I saw Colm a few years ago and he absolutely killed Bring Him Home, it was an out-of-body experience!
The way the rest of the cast starts sharing looks, as if they can't believe he's STILL hitting that note and holding it to eternity.
how does bernadette have such a bangin body at 65
Wait a minute ‼‼‼‼‼‼‼
🤯TED NEELEY almost had me fall OFF OF MY BED ‼‼‼
PHENOMENAL VOCAL WORK at 70 plus Years old YESSSS
Kristen Chenoweth, boss alert. She is a great singer, she could probably pull of replaying her roll as Glinda. And Idina Menzel, wowzer.
Hardly any effort into Idina Menzels second performance, and she sounds great.
Patti lupone, Dear Lord her voice is amazing
Mandy Patinkin, Patti LuPone and Ethel Merman's voices seem to stay the most consistent and rich years on. Mark of their status as Broadway legends
Omg Patti was crying 😭
Idina and Kristin will always be my queens
8:11
So we only gonna talk about Bernie’s belts and not her Kardashian worthy hips and snatched waist!
Dayyyyummmm THAT’S how ya do 65 ladies...vocally and physically!
🍑⌛️😂
I think Bernadette Peters aged backwards.
Adam Pascal was made to play Roger.
Best part was Ramin and Colm singing the end of Bring Him Home. Just WOW
I love listening to how much richer the voices get.
Also what is up with Idina's televised performances? She consistently sounds great at live performances that aren't as high profile, but she historically has been struggling at performances that were televised, even at the Tonys and Oscars. The recent 15th anniversary performance also wasn't as good as this one!
@Fearn and Tucker’s Angel Forever try performing for TV at this era now where the video can be posted on the web or a Broadway show, You will feel nervous as fuck. In her live performances she probably has more fun since its her being her.
Hearing Colm at 70 nail that note at a soft dynamic but with a resonant overtone makes me smile on the inside. And then hearing everyone go wild, such a beautifully aged voice☺️
Barbara Walsh!!! I love falsettos!!
Just imagine what it would be like if someone did this video again like 30 years from now... pretty sure the lineup would include:
1. Ben Platt ("Waving Through a Window")
2. Barrett Wilbert Weed ("Dead Girl Walking")
3. Sophia Anne Caruso ("Dead Mom")
And OF COURSE...
4. Lin-Manuel Miranda (literally anything because I can't narrow it down to one song)
ethel sounds THE. SAME. what a legend she was. she paved the way for so many women also in this video!!
Please don't hate on me, but I didn't like the way Idina changed her singing (Though I know she damaged her voice). Nevertheless, she's still got it! ❤
How does she damage it?
@@livelaughlove0209 she basically had horrible technique throughout all of Wicked
@@livelaughlove0209 belting is a "damaging" form of singing, because you're forcing your chest voice higher than it naturally goes...across years if you're constantly belting, it'll wear on you...but you can learn proper techniques to minimize the effects
So imagine this, 8 shows a week and you belt high notes. That's basically destroying your voice, but I have heard a lot of actors and actresses that there is a way to protect your voice. One perfect example is Natalie Weiss since she uses a lot mix in her singing! ❤
Jimmy Wise Belting in of itself is not damaging (if done with the proper technique) and has nothing to do with pitch, so you’re not forcing it to go higher. Belting is placing your sound sound forward in your mouth, essentially.
Pattie lupone sounded better at the age of 69!!!!!!!!!
Ridiculously good 👍👍👍
No matter what he's in, every time I see Mandy Patinkin my brain cannot help but think "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
Same, honey. 🤣🤣
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he also in the first two seasons of criminal minds? If not, the resemblance is uncanny lol
Omg Norbert Leo Butz😍😍😍
BERNADETTE LOOKS AMAZING JESUS
OMG. I Love Colm Wilkinson. Tears.Tears.
Belting your heart out, broom in hand, whilst being levitated to the top of the ceiling with a whole chorus of singers at your feet.
That must be the most amazing feeling ever.
EDIT: Oh, and being green 😂
I thought the present day idina was going to be from the wicked anniversary but that video wasn’t too bad
@Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever I prefer Willemijn Verkaik over Idina but I feel bad that Idina wrecked her voice by not taking care of it properly. I think she sounded good back then, just not as good now
Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever ummmmmm okay
@Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever so you're in another comment telling people to be respectful of you not being able to handle high operatic notes, but you're in many comments absolutely shitting on idina, and now willemijn, in very disrespectful ways.
Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever what does being British have to do with posting rude comments on the internet?
@Tucker,Fearn and Bentley’s Angel Forever Wha??
3 words Patti Lupone's voice...
That is all...
You can't even compare Brightman with the likes of Boggess, so idk why people put her on a pedestal. She was decent in 1988 and just screaming now.
This is so much talent put in a single video! I love it.
Mr. Golightly this is fantastic. I loved the comparisons whether I was a fan of the singer or not. So awesome to see the differences.
It’s amazing how after so many years they still have it in them 💖💖
It kinda baffles me that all of the original Wicked cast members were in their mid-thirties when they did the show, I always picture those characters as younger. Otherwise, let me just say most of these people are doing amazingly after all this time.
Sarah, honey, sweetie... just accept your voice changes over time it’s okay
Galactic President Superstar McAwesomeville At least she did her best. She’s been singing Christine’s notes for 30 years now.
Rey Menacher Damn. 30 years? I havent really listened to Phantom yet but that is pretty long. i understand why she didnt really do well. But if she cant do it, she doesnt have to.
It must be so sad for her, that’s what she is most known for and now she can’t to it. 😢
The problem is her technique it sounds like. Shes adopted some bad vocal habits over the years and in that clip you can REALLY hear it. She was going super wide on her vowels and her layrnx was sky high. Even in the old clip, her layrnx shot up on the final E. I dont think she shouldve tried to sing notes THAT high in the first place.
listen to her in repo, thar voice ain't gone, it's alive and well
Yasssssssssssssss my Queen has posted
Love you ❤️👑
How tf is Bernadette 65 in that clip??? She look young af
Wow, Idina sounds waaaayyyy healthier in his video than she has in others
Idina's vocals🤯❤️❤️
This is sooo inspiring and beautiful to watch!! Talent never dies and age is just a number xxxx
Patti Lupone is incredible, at age 69 she’s still able to pull off a flawless emotional performance.
Patti Lupine is a goddess. Even at 70, she can still bring a house down with her voice
Can we just talk about how Adam Pascal not only improved over the years, but made "Glory" *his* song, even with his iconic belt of that B4? That's how you make something yours.
Also, Patti Lupone will always be an icon.
Well, you've made your point! A good singer is like a fine wine; they get better with time!
Wow, Sarah was bad. Don't try to force it if you can't do it anymore
That’s what I was thinking. She also sang that one note twice too many times.
Yeah I was disappointed
Marcus It's such a sad thing to be unable to do what you used to easily
People's voices usually get deeper when they get older (somehow not for lea salonga, she sounds so identical and that's what i love about her) and that what seemed to be concert was a pretty bad representation of how she is now.
I think the high note was pretty good, but everything else was tragic.
Idina never seems to age, incredible!
anyone else not realize how old idina menzel is??? like bruh i thought she was like 30
I love videos like this. To see the changes
*Adam*
(I love vines)
They are so talented!!
Is a amazing generations of singers!!
how is it almost all of them managed to stay SO. GOOD
I saw Mr Neleey in 2016...his voice was so powerfull and his presence on stage was wonderfull😍
I love that duet between Ramin Karimloo Colm Wilkinson ❤️
