MACATL 864 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I've been thinking this for years, but I believe now is the time for "Wicked" the movie to be made and that none other than Lady Gaga should be cast as Elphaba. I just think she's made for that role, and it would be absolutely huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty3009 232 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I don’t think Gaga’s voice is ideal for Elphaba. It’s very rich and deep but Elphaba should have a clearer, higher tone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACATL 864 Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share Posted October 9, 2018 Gaga's high note in Edge of Glory, when she climbs up the edges, is a D. Idina's high note at the end of Defying Gravity is literally just 1/2 step up from that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be an improvement actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idina didnt follow the sheet music and did her own runs in the recording. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sethrb101 4,422 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 It would be so ****ing iconic and I would LIVE. I'd even live for her doing Glinda Spoiler A Parent Trap moment? It'd be legendary #Gaga2020 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idina didnt follow the sheet music and did her own runs in the recording. I believe Gaga is capable of hitting an F quickly when singing... Her performance for DWUW in the AMAs actually contains that note... In the early stages, when Gaga was singing Captivated, she sang a G in it... (I know her voice goes deeper now, but she can still belt out an F I think...) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolitamuse 261 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I'm sorry sis, but Gaga's voice is not made to be Elphaba. Elphaba needs a very particular type of belt that Gaga doesn't have--even if she can hit the notes, it doesn't mean her timbre fits the role. Whatever you want to say about Idina, Elphaba was literally composed for her voice type (and tbh Idina sounds amazing live, I saw her several times in If/Then on Bway and she was flawless). Elphaba needs that very thin, nasal, tinny belt that lives in the chest. Gaga's mix is too lofty, has way too much space in the back of the throat for it to sound right.
