song from the Musical 'Wicked' composed by Stephen Schwartz
I know I’m about to get flamed for this lol…
I’ve been looking forward to this song since seeing the first movie. it’s one of my favorite songs ever, and I’ve always imagined it being played at my wedding. I wasn’t expecting it to sound like the Broadway version, and I’m totally fine with changes. I guess it just felt off to me.
Cynthia sounds incredible, especially at the beginning and toward the end. But when Jonathan comes in, something about their voices just doesn’t blend for me?? He sings in a much breathier style, while Cynthia sings with so much chest power, and the contrast feels jarring. Jonathan isn’t a bad singer by any means, it just felt like his delivery was inconsistent at times?
The ending is beautiful, and their final harmonies actually worked really well. It’s really just that middle section that threw me off and kind of pulled me out of the moment. Idk Maybe I’m just in a bad mood since some kid kept kicking the back of my seat the whole time.
