In anticipation of the screen adaptation of the 2003 Broadway hit Wicked, it seems everyone is getting witchy. Wicked is a prequel to The Wizard of Oz and tells the origin story of Elphaba and Glinda. Of course, we’ve always known them as adults and the role they played in Dorothy Gale’s adventure in The Wizard of Oz. While they were off to see the wizard, the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Lion traveled along the yellow brick road singing cheerful tunes. They accompanied Dorothy to the Emerald City singing happy songs. Kelly Clarkson performed her version of If I Only Had a Brain from The Wizard of Oz during a recent Kellyoke segment, and it took on a whole new vibe. The dark lighting, deep vocal tone, and slowed-down tempo made for a chilling rendition.
