I have a new respect for this kid mika I thought they totally did not acknowledge the original song and artist of popular from wicked. this is amazing ^^
Great video. I don't know how Kristin did it because every time I sing this song in my head I always switch to the Wicked version and I didn't even sing that song 8x a week.
Man, between Arianna Grande and Kirsten Chenoweth really choses the shortest signers to sing this song with, doesn’t he? Him being giant doesn’t really help, lol. Also, how crazy it is that he sang this song with the OG Glinda (Kirsten) and new movie adaptation Glinda (Arianna)? Lucky man.
I think Mika's version of the song is soooo much better with Kristin. They should have used her instead of Ariana Grande for the actual thing - Kristin knows waaaay more about popular! ;3
The original version of popular song (not popular from wicked), was with Priscilla Renea, but was later remixed with Ariana Grande's vocals. I actually like the one with Priscilla Renea better than the one with Ariana Grande, but i love the wicked version the most of them all
I just listened to the pop radio version and Ariana Grande has no power in her voice and needed lessons on how to enunciate. Her expression in the video was laughably blank as well.
She probably had little rehearsal time for this performance. Plus, those hundreds of performances she gave as Glinda in Wicked probably etched the original Broadway lyrics in her memory that she needed to check back to the new lyrics because the melody could have possibly automatically prompted her her to sing the old lyrics without thinking.
when I try to sing this song I often find myself singing the original. additionally this was probably a last minute one off thing between bookings. you have no idea what stars schedules are like you pop from one interview to the next, then a store opening and an another interview.
You can tell this is New York because the crowd is going absolutely batshit crazy seeing Kristin Chenoweth. I would have went crazy as well.

Stephen Schwartz helped write this version!
Kristin AND Mika TOGETHER!! YEAH! Just: YEAH!
Great video. I don't know how Kristin did it because every time I sing this song in my head I always switch to the Wicked version and I didn't even sing that song 8x a week.
I didn't know this video existed and now that I've watched it I am just filled with emotions over how epic and beautiful them singing this is :D
Oh this is like the perfect mix of the original album version and the pop-ified radio-friendly ariana duet version. I'm fucking in love

Respect to Mika for letting K.C. sing with him
Wow, great mix of the songs and they sound awesome together! I love Kristin, she looks so adorable with the hat!

Jacob, before he sang the song at Webster Hall, a few months before he performed it here, he credited Stephen Schwartz with writing the new lyrics.

I think Mika's version of the song is soooo much better with Kristin. They should have used her instead of Ariana Grande for the actual thing - Kristin knows waaaay more about popular! ;3
WildFlameGame tbh Mika needed the publicity
WildFlameGame She is the original Glinda after all
The original version of popular song (not popular from wicked), was with Priscilla Renea, but was later remixed with Ariana Grande's vocals. I actually like the one with Priscilla Renea better than the one with Ariana Grande, but i love the wicked version the most of them all
Whattt now
Mikaaaa 3
Perf
Lol ok i feel this should have been a studio drop tied to the movie 🤣
What camera did you use for this, the quality is pretty good.
...........OMG.......
Hi ! Great video ! Which kind of camera did you use for this ? I'm sorry for my english, I'm french :)
I used a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150. It's more than two years old so there's most likely a newer model by now.
Ok, thank you :)
You do know the song is actually based from Wicked soo..
Who is here after seeing Wicked?
This is better than the one with ariana grande
She really ate that
I WOULD HAVE DIED OH MY GOSH
naww he had to lift her up :)
Much better.
I would have cried. Then died. Then cried some more.
Winston's version is the best!!
mejor la canta Aariana Grande
MIka is owner of this song

Mmhmm
Me gusta mas la version con Ariana Grande, pero como esta MIKA igual es cool!!! ;)
I prefer Ariana´s version!!! BTW I love this song and the lyrics of it!!!
I like the version with Ariana better
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adeline Lisa Yeah I know my sister got on my account again...
Danika Barron suuuuureeeeee
Gary meikle I know I am so right aren't I?

Finally someone commented this!!!!

Ariana Grande sings it better.
Tom Girl yesssssssss
Christine didn't memorize the song. Hmmm...not so cool.
She probably had little rehearsal time for this performance. Plus, those hundreds of performances she gave as Glinda in Wicked probably etched the original Broadway lyrics in her memory that she needed to check back to the new lyrics because the melody could have possibly automatically prompted her her to sing the old lyrics without thinking.

+SDoesNotKnow true
TERRRRIBLE compared to your studio version with ariana granda dude. you've gotta SINGGG LIVE you weren't even trying.
