Amazing performances from both of them, but I think I'm going to have to say Alexia on this one. Louise was absolutely amazing, but Alexia was my first Elphaba, and she was absolutely brilliant.

TWAI: Alexia has that Soprano-ish youthful brightness down, so Alexia
DG: Alexia’s take feels more interesting in interpretation, Louise’s sounds cooler
NGD: Alexia’s sounds more villainous and Wicked, Louise’s Voice has more weight
I think Alexia feels more interesting as an interpretation of Elphaba, but Louise’s voice is amazingly powerful.
