I've been listening to the Tokyo and Stuttgart cast recordings non-stop lately, and thought this would be fun. Rank the different versions track by track. If you're only familiar with two recordings, feel free to participate! Do as few or as many if you want-- I'm on the fence for a couple, and will be updating shortly.

I'm guessing you're not a fan of the TCR and Idina

Not so much... but Willemijn definitely tops Idina in several of the songs where the cast recordings are concerned. Willemijn is so beyond fierce!

I agree, Willemijn is amazing but I adore Lucy also. I love Kristin but Lucy just sounds so beautiful

Once I'm finally able to listen to all the Tokyo recording, I'll adjust this. I had a difficult time deciding for some of them!

Bumping this as Lisa asked where it was earlier.

Hmm this is hard, Idina and Willemijn are both amazing, Idina rocks at "The Wizard and I" and "Defying Gravity" while Willemijn is amazing in "No Good Deed" and "I'm Not That Girl" BAAAh i cant decided

The OBC is my favorite cast, but I think the Stuttgart recording sounds better. I'm not a fan of the Tokyo cast or recording.

Thank you, Dino!

I don't really like Tokyo's version either, but Li Tao(Fiyero) has such a beautiful voice.

Tokyo gets this one for adding Glinda's speech.

What I love about Willemijn in the CR is that besides her KILLER vocals and fiercness, i could FEEL and HEAR her acting! It's weird but i love it!
