(from Wicked) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk3H2yvsH-U It's hard to pick a favorite from the overall incredible Wicked musical, but if I had to, What Is this Feeling? would be a strong contender. With awesome cast chemistry, impassioned performances from our two leads, and genius song-writing, What Is This Feeling? offers up a pure slice of musical bliss, initially framing the song as letters to Glinda's and Elphaba's parents before opening up to be this intense chess match of push-and-pull vocals until a whole choir joins in on the fray. I love how you can read both of our lead's personalities in such simple but shining examples, like how each starts off their letters (e.g. one lovingly/one business-like) or Glinda' wordiness compared to Elphie's staunch one-word snarkiness (e.g. BLONDE). Another interesting layer is how this is written as a love song, where the two parties appear to hate each but deep down secretly wish to get there, adding some lesbian-friendly context to the conversation. It's fun, it's extra in the best way, and it begs repeat listens to understand every nuance it tries to go for. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-zBIN_6XhWnxruaaPBCUeMmjxgFjnUqT https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7jTxT9jsJalDGBUw3AUGL5 --- Hey, look on the bright side, there's nowhere but up from a canyon in hell. https://imgur.com/1e1e70S - https://imgur.com/a/bHIYzis ...
