god the riffs are so good to listen to, but in the context of the show i really love the sustained f5. it's honestly an artful screech but it really makes sense at this point in the show! i like to think that it shows both a climax of elphaba's pain and her power. they're all amazing!! these videos are so fun to put on while im doing homework LOL just listening to "FIYEROOOOOOOOO" over and over again LMFAOOO

14:09 Ock Joo-Hyun will always and forever have my favorite rendition of this song. She delivers with vocals, but adds so much fire and anger to No Good Deed that it makes me believe that she's truly turning 'Wicked'. More often than not people tend to enjoy the better vocalist Elphaba's, and while I love them all, so often the emotion and backstory to these songs gets lost in all of the fancy riffs. Ock kept it original, while also incorporating so much of what this song is meant to symbolize; a turning point where Elphaba truly decides she's going to be wicked.

She resolved the chord with the instrumentation! It feels so right

Hannah Corneau in my opinion has the best No Good Deed. Her belt is just so clean and her ascensions to her F5 and D5’s are just so clean! Also she absolutely has the best ‘Fiyero’ before the big riff. Her dynamical contrast beats every other Elphaba! The way she descends at the end is also by far the best and fullest sounding! Her F5 sounds so effortless and mixed properly. Not only that, her acting in this song is impeccable! Asides Corneau, Jessica Vosk, Jackie Burns, Alyssa Fox, and Emmy Raver-Lampmen have some of the best NGD’s! Stephanie J. Block still holds her own against all these amazing riffs! In my opinion, SJB has the best NGD that has no embellishments(not to say embellishments are bad), but there is a beauty to the simplicity of Stephanie’s NGD.

Donna Vivino will always be the queen of this song for me. The flip up to F is just divine.

during my sophomore year, my theatre director got us tickets to see wicked at the fox theatre in atlanta and talia suskauer played elphaba that day. one word: IMMACULATE✨

LOL the "except for fiyero" at the end 😭 this was 20 mins of heaven

2:08/15:00 her resonance is insane…

Me being a bit of a theatre kid and not knowing much about sounds and notes: funny video with numbers and letters

That last Rachel Tucker one though 😱 The acting!

I think what makes me a little sad about the online culture around Wicked is powerhouse singers like Nikki Bentley go very unappreciated. Seeing her live, her voice filled the theatre like no elphaba I've ever seen, and it's sad that it'll never come across on video because singers like her deserve more credit.

Laura pick hits different. What an amazing performer 💚💚

“Maybe that’s the reason whyyyYY-Y-Y” would be a god tier chapter to this book. But not enough ladies could sneak attack that riff in, let alone have it on film. I hope this still makes as much sense to me later on when I read it sober.
