Wicked the musical lyrics - what is this feeling ?

Question

i have found lyrics for this song online, however, i was wondering if there was a duet version to this song ( yes i know its already a duet) but i mean without the students singing. i tried to cut out where they come in and sing but it doesnt fit together. so basically i am asking if there are any different versions to this song.

Answer 1

No, the only version of What is this Feeling? is the way it is performed in the show. One short day and Defying Gravity are sometimes changed for performances.

Answer 2

ACT ONE, Scene 3.

GALINDA enters, on the other side of the stage from Elphaba. Both face front, as if writing letters home.

GALINDA

Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsical...

ELPHABA

My dear Father...

BOTH

THERE'S BEEN SOME CONFUSION

OVER ROOMING HERE AT s**z ...

ELPHABA

BUT OF COURSE, I'LL CARE FOR NESSA ...

GALINDA

BUT OF COURSE, I'LL RISE ABOVE IT ...

BOTH

FOR I KNOW THAT'S HOW YOU'D WANT ME TO RESPOND

FOR YOU SEE, MY ROOM-MATE IS …

Both pause, regard each other, trying to find the words ...

GALINDA

AND ALTOGETHER QUITE IMPOSSIBLE TO DESCRIBE ...

ELPHABA

BLONDE.

GALINDA

WHAT IS THIS FEELING

ELPHABA

I FELT THE MOMENT

I LAID EYES ON YOU ...

GALINDA

MY PULSE IS RUSHING ...

ELPHABA

MY HEAD IS REELING ...

GALINDA

MY FACE IS FLUSHING ...

BOTH

WHAT IS THIS FEELING?

FERVID AS A FLAME

GALINDA

FOR YOUR FACE...

ELPHABA

GALINDA

BOTH

LET'S JUST SAY -- I LOATHE IT ALL!

EV'RY LITTLE TRAIT, HOWEVER SMALL

MAKES MY VERY FLESH BEGIN TO CRAWL

WITH SIMPLE UTTER LOATHING

THERE'S A STRANGE EXHILARATION

IN SUCH TOTAL DETESTATION

IT'S SO PURE! SO STRONG!

THOUGH I DO ADMIT IT CAME ON FAST

STILL I DO BELIEVE THAT IT CAN LAST

AND I WILL BE LOATHING

LOATHING YOU

Those are lyrics. But it sounds like you're looking for karaoke music. I have performed this song many times and I got the karaoke music off of iTunes. Search "Wicked karaoke" on iTunes. If you don't have iTunes try searching YouTube. Although it's for videos, YouTube is a great source for karaoke music! Here is a video with the karaoke music http://youtube.com/watch?v=D1fYWFt5G38 . The music starts about 30 seconds in.

Hope this helped!
