Summary: Wickedly Amazing 2008-12-06
Comment: When we saw Wicked for the first time , it was the day after it opened in NY. It was Halloween night in 2003. We had no idea what to expect. Seeing Idina Menzel As Elphaba, was a jaw dropping experience. We just couldn't wait for the cd to be released on Dec 16. Since then we have seen the show 4 more times, and have gone to every Wicked Day.
After hearing that a new cd was being released for it's fifth anniversary,
we were thrilled. Now that we've listened to it, a gazillion times, We can't wait for the tenth anniversary.
This is an amazing cd, hearing songs in Chinese and German is a thrill, and hearing the dance mix, just wants to make you ,ah, uhm, gee..........
defy gravity!!!!

Summary: Maybe the driver saw Green and thought it meant Go. 2008-11-06
Comment: I downloaded the new songs from iTunes since I already own the album and didn't want to have two copies. Also with the iPod I never really look at CD booklets anymore. I'll be talking about the new songs on Disc 2
1. "For Good" is a beautifully redone here with LeeAnn Rimes and Delta Goodrem. I've never heard of the latter singer but she sings very nice. I could hear this song on Adult Contemporary stations around the country. This version does not stray much from the original Broadway version.
2. "I'm Not That Girl" is sung by Kerry Ellis. This version is more "rocky" with a guitar and drum heard throughout. An extra line at the end of the song "I'm gonna pray that maybe someday I'll be that girl" I'm not sure how I feel about that. I suppose as a stand alone track it works, but in the musical, Elphaba does not believe her and Fiyero could be together at that point.
3. "Making Good" by Stephanie J Block the original Elphaba before she was let go and replaced by Idina, and then later rehired. This song is an early version of "The Wizard and I" (One of My Favs) in fact the last verse is almost exactly like "The Wizard and I." It's simply Stephanie and the piano. It's a great song and nice to hear what it originally came out as.
4. Tracks 4-7 are in other languanges, the music is exactly the same as the original cast CD
8. "Defying Gravity" is a remix is taken from a Maxi CD Single released by Idina Menzel, it's available here at Amazon (1 radio mix and 5 remixes!). The remix is nice, but Idina's vocals were re-recorded and in my opinion don't have as much oomph as the Broadway musical vocal. Also it does NOT feature the adorable Kristin. But if you want to dance this track is very danceable.
Can't wait til they make a movie of this wonderful Musical. I saw it in Chicago August 2006 and liked it so much I got a part-time job at the theater just so I could see it over and over and over again. For me Kristy Cates, Kristoffer Cusick and Stacie Morgan Lewis are THE cast of Wicked.
