watching this video now is insane 🥲 the fact NOBODY believed in ariana at all until she shattered expectations despite a difficult audition & her own public persona.. she was even humble enough to accept possibly not being the right fit. but now shes an oscar nominated glinda 🥹
this scene unlocks Ariana’s entire performance—Elphaba gently calling her out about privilege, Glinda’s deep crush, her desire to be included/picked/feeling left out—it all explains her so well, and makes her Defying Gravity work much better. Cannot believe this scene got cut.
To be honest, I think Sabrina Carpenter expresses heterosexual sexuality in a way that is woman focused. When I watch it, I feel like she’s trying to entertain the girlies. Not appeal to men. Even her music is coming from such a female-centered perspective. Y’all are trippin
