So, I actually liked this one.

Kidding. Kind of.

I didn't like the plot any more than I usually do, but I liked the voices so much better. I like how Shoshana's voice has a mixture of powerful and sweetness. The only part where she wasn't so great was in Wizard and I and Defying Gravity. In both songs when she says "Meeeeeeeeee" she sounded kind of weak.
Jennifer was really great. She didn't play Galinda as annoying and forced cutesy as the others I've heard before her. Her voice was beautiful and I was impressed. Not that I was surprised, a friend of mine pretty much knows every Glinda backwards and forwards and said that she's the best.
