Amanda Seyfried may have lost the Wicked character Glinda to Ariana Grande, but she will NOT lose to other actresses should there be a Joni Mitchell biopic that is in the works!

Fans' hilarious reactions to Amanda Seyfried's "California" performance
Fans poked fun at her performance, saying that her losing the role of Glinda to Ariana Grande is a redirection—because she'll definitely rock Joni Mitchell's aura and singing style!

Some fans also agreed that Amanda Seyfried DESERVES all the roles that she wants because look at her—no auditions required, she's one heck of a talented actress! (via X/@MAC7XP)
After the success of Timothée Chalamet's A Complete Unknown, fans are joking that there should be another A Complete Unknown, but this time, Joni Mitchell is the focus of the film.
"A Complete Unknown Sequel with Amanda as Joni HAS to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!1" - another fan added (via X/@cutietoryxo)
Fans also clowned Amanda Seyfried's use of the dulcimer, saying that they'll be buying their own dulcimer just to feel the fantasy of what's it like to be an Amanda Seyfried. (via X/@KathleenBonsall)
Other fans hilariously reacted that everyone's childhood crush is Amanda Seyfried, and until now, she is their crush, especially since she showed her singing prowess and dulcimer playing self in the show! (via X/@AlexAlarga)
Because she played the dulcimer, other fans think that instead of Joni Mitchell, Amanda Seyfried should play Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks. But what if she played both Joni AND Stevie?
"That’s it. She’s playing Stevie Nicks in the biopic." - another fan reacted (via X/@benryanwriter)
Fans were also in awe with Amanda Seyfried's interview at The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, commenting that she's awesome no matter what she does! (via X/@daddymatt08)
And finally, Amanda Seyfried also poked fun at Jimmy Fallon when she was interrupted while singing and playing the dulcimer, making fans LOL so hard!
"She's like "Why are you interrupting me... i was on a roll..." Nice homage to the great Joni M." - another fan quipped (via X/@Sumo_Jason)
