Vocal coach reacts to ARIANA GRANDE singing "The Wizard and I" from WICKED 

i love how much fun she’s clearly having performing this song

I've always felt like Ariana Grande leaned a little into her old Broadway training for this one, and it seems like she had a lot of fun! She was on the OBC of Thirteen if I remember correctly. I don't love Ariana Grande as a whole, but I was super impressed when I heard this, even if it went a little more pop-song than I was used to for this song.

i feel like ariana is a different person when she sings broadway, she even sounds differents to me tbh

she could not stop smiling. she was going through a lot at the time, but she didn’t let it stop her from doing this

You can clearly see her love for Wicked shine through in this performance and how she has been singing these songs since her childhood. I mean Ariana as a kid visited Kristen Chenoweth backstage at Wicked back when she was originating the role of Glinda and even gave Ariana one of her wands!

I’m not really an Arianna fan but I ADORE this performance.

I love her singing Zero To Hero from Hercules at a Disney World Event...she is wonderful in that!

I love her makeup here too! I could never rock green lipstick this well! 🙌🏽😍😂 I like Ariana’s version and how she made it her own without it being too far from musical theatre! She’s got such a great voice! Xx

I’m sure it’s been mentioned in comments already but what makes this even more insane, is she and Pete had just broken up like, a day or couple days prior. And Mac had passed not long before. She was going THROUGH it at this time. She has the band aid on her finger covering her Pete tattoo. No clue how she pulled this off.

I love Arian Grande and theater. I love how it looks like she is having so much fun with it.

"i kinda like it.... i like it.... i love it" HAHAHA same !!!!!! this is such a good performance. her expression, her pure happiness singing this song, her performance... it's amazing. one of my favourite performances by her

“Who looks good in green lipstick?” Sis Glozell😂✨✨

I love this performance from her because she’s performing to a room of Wicked fans, not necessarily Ariana fans (though I’m sure plenty love her). The audience is having fun listening and she’s having a blast singing it... and they’re enjoying it together. It’s just a really cool dynamic.

THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT ONE OF HER BEST PERFORMANCES

Every time I hear this song I get chills. You can just hear the _love_ she has for this song and everything she's doing. It's absolutely beautiful.

I was there in person, about 5 feet away. Quite a few performers had to do their performances twice (Idina & Kristen included) and Ariana, 1 and done. Absolutely flawless. Seeing Ariana at the absolute peak of her fame and Idina & Kristen sing Wicked songs all night? best night ever.

It literally makes me so fucking happy knowing one of my favorite vocalists loves musical theater and has a background in it. It's always wonderful to hear her cover theater songs, like she couldnt be any cooler. Lol

There is a great analysis of this song that shows how this song changed musical theatre forever…also may be Stephen Schwartz’s best musical theatre song he every has written…including that when he writes “Unlimited” it is a modulated sound of the opening of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” first notes…genius song writing…

She sounds so amazing and she is amazing. Although I wouldn’t cast her for Elphaba like many want her to be, I would probably cast her as Glinda just because she has a lighter voice and is and Elphaba is an alto. Again this is just my opinion

This performance always makes me tear up because she just looked sooo happy and after the year she had, she deserved to be happy!!

Can you react to “movie in my mind” by Eva Noblezada and rachelle Ann go

It's hard not to smile while watching this performance, it's so magical!

I LOVEEEE this performance from Ariana, a gorgeous balance of her style and wicked as we know it. I often find myself singing this version in the shower now, its just so pretty!

3:56 Her "Cat voice" showed up 😁

i get chills every time i hear her sing this, its just amazing

yesss I love that she was enjoying the audience feedback and you could feel the joy on her face. Makes me cry lol

I think this might be one of my favourite Ariana performances because you can tell just how much fun she is having on that stage 😍

I. LOVE. ARIANA. I am a theater kid through and through; and as an already-Ariana fan, I love watching her revert back to her theater kid origins: She's so good and you can tell she's really enjoying herself! And the crowd! The crowd full of enthusiasm and mutual love for the art is just so powerful! Makes the performance that much more amazing! INSTANT subscribe, love your content!!!

Hanna is my daily happiness lol

PLEASE react to ben platt’s cover of river by joni mitchell from the politician

you can tell she's just having the time of her life singing this

Honestly, I've only listened to her songs in Disney covers. XD She sounds very nice in this, too. :O

All of your videos radiate such pure positivity! I have never been upset with one. You are always able to use constructive criticism without any hatred. You are able to acknowledge stylistic choices while still giving completely relevant and sound technical advice. I look forward to every one.

She's literally the best!!! :D

Please please please do a follow up reaction of her singing this song when she was younger (13, I think) I'm really interested to see what you think about how her voice has changed!

I love how you break things down and just genuinely love singers and singing! Your vocal teaching style reminds me of Sam Johnson who’s also a vocal teacher here on RU-vid - I like that you both will explain where the singer is going right and if they’re not doing well, you both don’t bash them down or hate on them. It’s very helpful to see great teaching styles from vocal teachers and I talk about you + Sam Johnson to my own vocal teacher!! 😄 I hate it when I see other vocal teachers/singers/people in general criticize HARSHLY and/or just hate on singers and not realize that maybe the singer is super tense which is why they don’t sound good or I hate it when people don’t understand that a song like this that Ariana sang is really difficult but people who don’t understand what it takes to sing, they think this song she sang isn’t as amazing as her other singing because they don’t recognize that there are different styles of singing. I think Ariana did WONDERFUL in this and while I think she’s an incredibly talented singer, I was quite surprised that she performed this really well and didn’t make it super pop-y!!

She is a wonderful actress as well and it really shows when she’s singing this show tune

I’m just bingeing your channel at this point haha! I’m so glad you like Ariana, too! She’s extremely talented, and as someone with a much lower voice, I am awestruck by her.

I know you’ve already reacted to Reneé Rapp, but can you react to her singing “All Falls Down” from Chaplin the Musical at the Jimmy Awards? I was blown away my her performance but I’d love to see what an actual vocal coach thinks!

Rachel Tucker or “daddy knows best” from spongebob please please please !!!

She looks like she is having the time of her life! I love that 💚

For some reason my favorite part of this video is Hannah's UNLIMITED. I could listen to that on repeat. She is so talented. Hannah I need you to do a cover of this song with YOUR voice

What I love, is how happy she looks when she sings musical theatre.

please react to robert manion singing “show stoppin number” from the guy who didn’t like musicals!

As a voice teacher, watching your videos are like experiencing the inner workings of my brain… I love these!! Keep making them!!!

I've waited for this for so loooong! Loved it! Thank you for reacting to this

She did such a great job, I was surprised when I heard her sing this song. (In regards to who got casted as Elphaba & Glinda in "Wicked: The Movie") I think that they purposely had her and Cynthia Erivo sing each other's songs to throw you off, since Ariana sang "The Wizard and I" and she's gonna be Glinda, and Cynthia sang "I Couldn't Be Happier" and she's gonna be Elphaba. As a Thespian, I can confirm that "Wicked" was the musical that got me into musical theater. I saw it when I was eleven and it was the first Broadway musical I ever saw

PLEASE DO ANOTHER COVER! Your voice is like that of an angel, we need more!!! 😍

I clicked right as I got the notification ❤️ we stan

omg thank you SO much for doing this wow i requested this and i feel seen lol ari is my FAV and i love your channel!

I love when she sings like that without much ear and more resistant! And also I want more chest voice for her! She doesn't do it really. I love this performance because she is smiling this is her heart! So autenthic! Let's go Ariana leave pop and sing only musical theater! I see how happy you feel when you sing this!

oh WOW I love this performance. I'd never seen it!! She absolutely kills it!! Love your videos

HANNAH 60K CONGRATS!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜

You should react to Ariana singing “Suddenly Seymour” with Seth Macfarlane

Her tour- SWT tour had clear vocals, beautiful belts, falsettos, head voice and whistle tones ass well. Please check out her live album called K BYE FOR NOW

This is one of my favorite performances of hers, and this is a good review.

Can you react to Rachel Tucker singing this live?? It’s like my favorite, everrrrr

Would love to see you react to Ariana singing Suddenly Seymour with Seth Macfarlane!! I watch regularly I love how their voices mix.

Thank youu Hannah I was hoping you'd do this one 💖💖

Could you have a look at Willemijn Verkaik singing defying gravity. She has performed this in English, Dutch and German. I absolutely love her and would be so interested in what you thing!

I NEED to see you reacting to Shoshana Bean singing She Used To Be Mine! Please please please

Please react to gabbie Hanna because there is a debate whether she is good or not :)

She sang SO GOOD it makes me cry every time

You should watch the old videos of her singing Suddenly Seymour! You can really hear that her original training was musical theater in those so it's interesting :)

I love your videos and how positive you are!!💙

Ari being cast as Glinda ♡

Out of any song out of Wicked to riff, I think 'The Wizard and I' is it because its the kind of fun, I want/Imma get this song. Love Ariana.

Hamilton was my bridge to musicals :)

When i first heard ariana grande was playing elphaba in the film, i was hesitant because her style is so different from broadway but her voice is incredible. When i heard her song this, i was hooked especially on the last note. The last note won me over. She is our new Elphaba.

Can you do Wait for Me from Hadestown?

Wow this is fantastic! I forgot that Ariana Grande did some musical theater lol

Can you please react to Defying Gravity from Shoshana Bean and Friends? You’ll be blown away!

ari gives me chills every time

Some vocalists I would recommend for you in the future would be: Loic Nottet, Faouzia, Taeyeon, Pentatonix, Little Mix, and Cimorelli. I really like how you talk about all these vocalists and their performances and would love to see some of the people above. Especially since 3 are groups so it's kind of like multiple reactions in one lol (of course its all up to you)

you look really nice today, hannah! and so do you, reader!

wow I love her what a legend

Ariana is amazing!!!!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

If you haven’t ever reacted to any of Voctave’S pieces, I think you’d really enjoy them. There’s a version of Someone Like You from J&H with Jody McBrayer (a super awesome CCM tenor) that’s amazing. Love your stuff Hannah. Seriously it just makes me smile and brings me a lot of joy as someone who sang a lot growing up and doesn’t as much anymore for some reason.

please react to her best vocal moments during the Sweetener World Tour !! it would be fun to see you react to her adlibs and all her belts 😄❤️

she was pumped for this so it made the performance so special

Hi I think it would be really cool if you reacted to Samantha pauly singing all you wanna do or candy store (I just think she’s amazing and I’d like to see what u think) both are in her RU-vid channel she did 100 days of singing different songs in quarrentine and if anyone’s reading this u should watch any of them she’s amazjng thanks 🥰

I’ve never been an Ariana stan, but I have never minded her. I just think this is really fun! I actually didn’t mind this performance because I could see it for what it was! Fun!! Also, I would love to see you go over some more legit music theatre singers like Kelli O’Hara!

Could you react to Amber Riley? She is an ANGEL and I think your reaction to her duet of ‘River deep Mountain high’ would be really interesting.

A couple of years ago she performed live for Jason Robert Brown and she sang a song from 13. I would love to hear your thoughts on that performance.

Can you give commentary on Lindsay Mendez’s Wizard and I? She’s such a different Elphaba & her voice sounds sooo supported in this song! She’s my fave!

this is the first time ive ever heard her sing. im not in love...but what i am in love with is this channel.

Please react to Lea Salonga and Rachel Ann Go “The Movie in My Mind” Duet PLEAAAASEEEEE

Could you react to more Annapantsu? She’s got amazing covers of defying gravity and world burn!

Hi Hannah!!

Please react to Ariana Grande "Breathin" at Sweetener World Tour

I love ARIANA ❤❤ ARIANATORS where are you!!!

I've tried watching vocal coach videos before to learn some good technique but I always feel like their a little more judgmental than I'd like them to be, so thankyou for creating a safe place for me to learn!

Gosh I would give anything for you to react to Josh Groban singing in Natalie, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 because it just makes me melt goodnessss

we need more of ariana grande reaction🥺🤍

And now she’s in wicked omg I’m so proud of her

Love this 😍😍 you HAVE to do Jessica Vosk’s version of it, because my god she was THE best Elphaba. Clearest, crispest, best use of mix. Gorgeous

There is this one small streamer who have an amazing voice! She sang the last bit of the song on one of her newest streams

I’d love to see you react to Philippa Soo!! She has such a lovely voice!

Can you please react to say my name from Beetlejuice the musical by will bloom and Presley Ryan?

Loving these videos!! You should do a react to Keala Settle’s workshop performance of This Is Me (to get The Greatest Showman greenlit) and/or Mallory Bechtel’s Requiem from DEH.
