Popular - Wicked (musical) (Kristin Chenoweth) - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Since enjoying its Broadway premiere in 2003, the showstopping number "Popular" from the blockbuster Tony Award-winning musical Wicked has transcended generations to enthral audiences with its buoyant pop euphoria and universal messages about shallowness and self-acceptance. "Popular" was written by the lauded composer Stephen Schwartz for the first act of the 2003 musical and is performed in the play by the legendary Oklahoma-born star Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda the Good Witch. Stephen Schwartz drew inspiration from cheerleading and Clueless for the poppy Beatles-influenced song, which considers the concept of high school popularity in the light of the musical Wicked, a loose adaptation of the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, which is based on L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film adaptation.
