Ariana Grande Singing “Popular” From “Wicked”

Aaaaaaah! I’ve been waiting for this!

As you probably are well aware of by now, the “Wicked” movie- based on the smash Broadway musical “Wicked”- comes out next Friday.

Just seeing the previews get my musical theater-loving heart super giddy, and now that we have audio of Ariana Grande as Galinda performing “Popular”, well, it’s everyhting I had hoped for:


LOVVEEEE!

 

For reference, here is the original Galinda performing “Popular” portrayed by Kristen Chenoweth:


Pretty spot on, right?

I honestly prefer Ariana Grande’s musical theater chops as opposed to her Pop Music.  I think this genre definitely shows off her true talent, instead of songs like “Side to Side” and “Seven Rings”.

“Wicked” startting Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo hits theaters next Friday, November 22nd, and you can get more info at http://WickedMovie.com

“Wicked” Movie Live Singing!

Ok, I’m really excited to see the “Wicked” movie now.

Of course, it’s based on the massive hit Broadway musical “Wicked”, which is absolutely incredible. And it’s really, really hard to parlay a stage hit onto the silver screen, but it looks like it might have been pulled off in the upcoming movie version.

Both Ariana Grande and Cynthia Eriva show off their vocal prowress by singing live in the movie, as opposed to lip-synching to previously recorded tracks, which is usually how it’s done.

Check this out:

Ok, that is hella impressive.

“Wicked” Part 1 hits theaters on November 22nd, and honestly, I’m thinking it looks like a smash so far.

Hopefully it doesn’t go the way of “Cats”… remember that debacle?

Stay tuned…

“Wicked” Official Trailer

Ok, this looks like it could actually be really cool.

The “Wicked” movie trailer just dropped, and it looks pretty dang cool.

Of course, the movie is based on the popular Broadway musical which I love… if you’re not familiar, it’s about how the Wicked Witch came to be… and it’s a classic.

The movie stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, and it’s looking promising:


I’m a total musical nerd, and this has me just a wee bit excited.

Say what you will about Ariana Grande, girlfriend is MEGA talented. Like, woah.

“Wicked” hits theaters November 26th, just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Hopefully it fares better than the movie adaptation of “Cats”.

 

Ariana Grande “Yes, And?”

Ariana Grande just released her highly anticipated new single “Yes, And?” and it’s a mix between Madonna’s “Express Yourself” and Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way”.

Basically, it’s a total pop anthem, catchy as hell, and it’s been in my head all morning.

So, it’ll probably be a massive hit. Earworms usually are.

I wish she showed off more vocals, as she does have one of the most incredible voices, but hey, we all know she can sing, so might as well do what she wants at this point.

Also, the music video is totally giving Paula Abdul’s “Cold-Hearted Snake” vibes:

 

Pretty cool, right?

Here’s Paula’s “Cold Hearted Snake” video from 1989:

Uncanny, right?

What do you think of Ariana’s new single?

I don’t totally hate it, which means I’ll freaking love it in two months.
