For those who may not be familiar with the song, \u201cPopular\u201d is from the Broadway Musical\u00a0Wicked<\/em>. The musical originated on Broadway with\u00a0Kristin Chenoweth\u00a0as Glinda and Idina Menzel as Elphaba. This song is Chenoweth\u2019s character teaching Menzel\u2019s character how to become \u201cPopular\u201d in their school, Shiz University.<\/p>\n

This song includes opera elements and is considered extremely hard to nail. Darci Lynne\u2019s cover incorporates everything that Chenoweth\u2019s Glinda is about, down to her signature laugh. This cover is extremely impressive considering Darci never actually opens her mouth.<\/p>\n
