Idina Menzel - Defying Gravity

[krupens]

mesmerizing...

[MusicalsNerd]

@BlazedHearts OMG have I just found someone I can have an intelligent musical conversation with on youtube?! NO! Le GASP!

Yeeeeeeeeah, SJB was originally going to play the role, or so I'm told, but they got in Idina last minute because of her fame from RENT.

Dear @TheWeewellfan - please give me a more in-depth, and less rude explanation as to why she is better. Vocally, at least. I'm honestly interested in having a constructive conversation about this.

[Clemmy987]

I know her personally. I met her and her father at a local theatre. She told me I can become an actress one day :))))

[TheWeewellfan]

@MusicalsNerd well ur opinion is shit she is much better

[BlazedHearts]

@TheWeewellfan Back off buddy. You have your opinion they have theirs.

[MusicalsNerd]

I love Idina to bits, but I will always believe SJB SANG the role of Elphaba better. Idina has the acting hands down, but SJB just didn't struggle vocally as much as Idina did. Just my opinionnnnnnn. :)

[BlazedHearts]

@MusicalsNerd Ignoring the angry troll kid responding to you, I have to agree. Idina was AMAZING, but she failed/screeched that high F too much for someone originating a role. Not just that, I think SJB had better technique and emotion in her voice.

[taedertot19]

Idina has Defyed Gravity surely. She has a amazing voice. Only Idina Menzel can play Elphaba/ Alphaba????

[marjoleintje1993]

she is elpheba! she really is wicked!

[beagreatspirit98]

You have defied Gravity Idina Menzel!

[kettlechipspringles]

THIS IS SOOOOOO INSPIRATIONAL! I LOVE IT! X

[TheAgu91]

listen to kerry elly's version!!! that is really better!!!

[lossie101]

@TheAgu91 Kerry Ellis is amazing but I don't she can beat the ORIGINAL ELPHABA Idina... :/

[mcsaplala]

truly amazing singer!

[k11lovergirl]

Idina is best,

greets from Austria

[x3AnimeEGG]

Love this -33

[17giacomino]

Much better Glee version!!

[saaartjee1993]

i love her voice! she's amazing!

[xMissOlivia]

Much better in this version. So amazing! Go Idina!

[mickeytbrans]

This is the version you sang when I saw you twice in Colorado. Just as perfect as the show version because you sang both of them!

[rosebud21295]

I can't explain how amazing this is. <333

[peytonblues]

Lea Michele & Chris Colfer did a great job singing this but Idina's version has SO much emotion that she made this song uniquely hers in a sense

[kreativekoils613]

@peytonblues She really has. When I went to see it on Broadway, I could hear that the current Elphaba was trying to do it like her.

[mjhasdied1]

amazing.

[Tonyscovers]

I almost cried cause this was just so amazing ! : 'O

[BoogaBoogaBarbie]

a breathtaking song, a beyond beautiful woman, a kick ass voice...SPEECHLESS!

[Francyandy1972]

Is fantastic! Beautiful!

[hunny118]

Just watching this video made me think how alike her And Lea Michele are alike! For starters they are both stunning singers, the look dead alike and even pull similar expressions when singing also the both can smash this song :) Idina is slightly better though :)

[rozenkristal327]

@hunny118

No. Just... No.

[BEKKY2131]

that is one of the greatest versions of the song i know!

she is soooo incredible!!!!

just

WOW!!!

[akwardturtle27ism]

im not that stupid brat who makes rude comments but without the green it took away my mysterie and love of her character but green or not shes amazing

[fieldhockeylover1994]

Why is she so amazing?! I love her so much

[obessedbookwormA2Z]

@IanHecoxMarryMe yup

[bonemybrass36]

107 people must be deaf.

[kelseyalwaysknows]

my lady crush <3

[veronja1994]

angels do not sing like this... they are far worse :)

[brigLeek]

I really like this version. Indina is amazing! No auto-tune needed!

[hugepuffball]

I am in love with every which way or form of Defying Gravity.

[paperthinhymn23]

probably my most fave. person in the world and i really would love to meet her. i freaking love her!!

[ablackguy123456789]

this is such a beautiful version. love her <3

[GablesHorse]

She is SO BRILLIANT!!!

[krissyluvzcolfer]

SHE IS SO EFFING AMAZING!!!

[ZackMeisterStudios]

lea michele is a publicity stunt while idina menzel draws people in. she started in wicked and ended in peoples hearts. she will always be remebered by all wicked fans!

[chansie41]

woah, isn't this the other girl from Enchanted?

[hurricanechristine]

@chansie41 yup!

[MillerTheory]

get it in already puck

[rcalvo23]

After reading comments I listened to sutton foster's rendition and found out that she could song the song no doubt but idina makes you feel the song. And if a singer could do that then there is more talent in that. I'm just saying...

[thefairytale89]

ohh wasnt she the coach of vocal adrenaline on glee???

[obessedbookwormA2Z]

@thefairytale89 no., she is the coach for the Trouble Tones

[eclipeser]

@obessedbookwormA2Z she was also the coach of vocal adrenaline

[thefairytale89]

love that song....and her voice is nice

[CrabCuzziz6]

She is so amazing and Wicked is definately the best play I've ever seen <3

[MrSprite69]

106 people tried defying gravity and and went splat on the earth.

[youanistu]

amazing

[ChocolateLatte119]

Who could dislike this?

[slimck1]

isn't she the same actress in enchanted?

[Amor4everz]

@slimck1

She is. :D  She played Nancy.

[slimck1]

@Amor4everz she also played in glee right?

[Amor4everz]

@slimck1

Yes she did. :)

[Amor4everz]

Wow.....I have never heard someone sing so perfectly...there were absolutely NO mess ups. Amazing! I love you Idina!

[pantherpatty]

my lifes ambition: sing with Idina Menzel

[Heidrick15]

im hot for teacher

[superphia1997]

It's strange seeing her...um...well... NOT green!

[obessedbookwormA2Z]

@superphia1997 I know! I saw her in GLEE and I was like wait...what? she is supposed to be green...lol I got so used to seeing her green seeing her normal again seemed to be the abnormality :)

[Walt1896TheClone]

Idina Menzel SUCKS! The amazing SUTTON FOSTER did a better rendition of this song - and Sutton could outsing, outdance, and outact this ugly performer! Sutton Foster is the best-ever actress in the world!

[DefyingIdina04]

@Walt1896TheClone You Sutton Foster troll! The whole world knows that Sutton Foster is the most overrated actress in the world! She's no match to Idina Menzel and therefore should not embarrass herself by performing Idina's songs.

[DefyingIdina04]

@Walt1896TheClone And even if you keep marking as "spam" all negative comments about Sutton Foster on her videos, the fact remains that she's the most overrated actress in the world! Idina is the best!

[Jrardila]

@Walt1896TheClone I like Sutton´s version too, but, really? Idina is a way better

[jenthemusicfreak]

can i just say, i love idina menzel, she's just too amazing (:

[puppywithhorns7]

I like this song, but i prefer the original song to this pop version.

[ErinMalfoy]

Idina Menzel's voice is amazing.

[lisariya]

2:37 WOW! That's really belting

[Jaiwanful]

@3:07 aren't they Amber Riley and Jayma Mays????????

[mswixx12]

@Jaiwanful defs not

[galania69]

We could think that Idina is really Lea Michel's mother. They look exactly the same. (Apologize my english i'm french ...^^)

[persnicketypirate]

yep, goosebumps...incredible talent

[CoreyCanadian]

Goosebumps. I have them.

[YoungOscarWinner]

Her voice is nasal and annoying.

[blossom10494]

omg she is the nancy out of enchanted lol, totally just realised :P

[012sir]

@blossom10494

and she is in glee tooooooooooo ?

[margarita141414]

@012sir and she's from the original Wicked cast.. So much bettter. It's just sad that you know her from Glee..

[103973me]

the one and only elphieee she is amazinggggg

[Zookimer]

It threw me for a loop when I realized that Elpheba was also Maureen in the Rent film...

[Griphonq]

this last note... HOLY SHIT

[Broadwaygirl01]

The 102 people are infidels.

[Maniana1798]

amazing voice ! beautiful song !

[xaruiz]

Don't have to autotune that! That's all natural baby!! Go Idina!!!

[robindfrey]

[bregieirofernandes]

[Aritul]

She is beautiful all around.

[s0005518]

[ballershanelle]

[dylandgleekollhouse]

OMG OMG OMG!!! I love Idina Menzel :D :D

[dlrsa2]

she looks like a perfect witch!

[iMikeFonseca]

I loved this version!! 

[hopelessromantic1311]

She was the first, number one, and always will be the TRUE Elphaba!!! <3 <3 <3

[hopelessromantic1311]

I like it when she sings it in the musical better!! Probably because of the meaning of the song :)

[MsBabyjune1]

I like original better

[DarrenCrissIsSexy1]

OMG I ABOSLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG!!!!! IT IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME SONGS I HEARD IT ON GLEE FIRST AND THEN SEARCHED IT UP!!!!!!! it gives me chills evrytime i listen to it and i have it on my ipod. I LOVE YOU IDINA MENZEL!!!!

[Kh3aryMusic]

This song STILL gives me the chills... >.< 

[hannelore972]

I love when she sings this song. I never wanted the role of a wicked witch I until my mom introduced me to Wicked. SUPER!!

[susancamb]

Love this song!! Idina sings it wonderful!

[MattysonDreamland]

She look so much like Nelly Furtado. The interesting part is, they're both singer.

[Teremei]

97 people like the original broadway version better, I'm one of them.

[Teremei]

97 people like the original broadway version better, I'm one of them.

[lilmizpiggy88]

i prefer the non-pop version. I think the broadway musical version let Idina show off her vocals more.

[sexycrystal98]

love the song but not her voice sorry idina :)

[ZoeAquaspark]

I love her voice.....Idina Menzel = Awesomeness

[Misslovinshortstack]

love this song

[meshowz]

1- i dont sing im a GFX designer

2- it is not my job

3- (i could say the same to you) i wonder how you or she are in GFX designs Probably you cant even use that shitty program called Paint...

[KtwMjsuperfan]

@meshowz

1) YOUR COMMENT WAS IRRELEVANT AS HELL

2) I bet you CANT sing

3) Nobody gives a shit what your job is, unless it directly affects us, which it doesn't

[meshowz]

@KtwMjsuperfan

1- irrelevant to you angry man.

2-She still suck big time

3-and btw....MJ is the biggest shitty singer in the world and my ass look nicer than his fugly face..

[KtwMjsuperfan]

@meshowz

1) irrelevant to the UNIVERSE. and i'm a girl.

2) You still can't sing and earn way less than she AND MJ does.

3) I don't give a shit about MJ. it's just in the username...as it was created when i gave a damn.

4) You're the ugliest human in the world. That's why you are so mad

5) I STILL have the most thumbs up. So alot of people agree with what I said. You can fuck yourself now.

[meshowz]

@KtwMjsuperfan a girl with a pussy face LOL! and looks like you are the mad one here (/caps) :-j , (btw irrelevant to the universe my ass, i make my living with what i do,,so your assumption is just another epic fail added to your fails list)

ps. ppl like to thumbs you up cause of your pussy not you have any logic, usually girls cant think straight anyway.

[KtwMjsuperfan]

@meshowz Was that supposed to hurt my feelings? It was too pathetic. Typical sexist. get out of your damn basement and go to work.....

[meshowz]

she sucks

[alexandria222100]

@meshowz hmm, i wonder how you'll sound when you sing in front of 20,000 people. Probably worse than Justin Bieber.

[FlumpyMooMoo]

@meshowz You suck

[MAEUQUI89]

she reminds me of jessica lowndes, u know adrianna from 90210.

[noodle089]

she looks like giada de laurentiis from Food Network

[Enlorand]

hey! I'm a dude and I can sing this! SWEET! 

[zoeclaire329]

She has an amazing voice! no doubt!!! she's so good glee<3

[kpoplizz1]

Dramatic ending! :p

[alecxlorica]

96 people can't defy gravity. :P

[Dleanemo73]

@alecxlorica now its 101 //.^ too bad for them

[iCoLouRZzHD]

[Mockingjay49]

@iCoLouRZzHD

[JennyWulff]

wwwooooww her mouth is bigger than julia roberts one's.....she is THE PERFECT ELPHABA

[LucyM16]

@JennyWulff well...that's because she's the original elphaba...

[Salvage90]

I like the glee's '' Adn you wont bring me down'' part better :)

[rockdehala]

i loveeeeeee this song!!!

[VTOlympian]

yep she is coming back as a teacher at mckinley in season 3

[jewelrider321]

She'll Be Back On Glee In Episode 2 Of Season 3 Yall. Dont Worry

[cocosfreaqz]

i prefer her singing live than in a movie

[FISHURMOMBALL]

Wow she is beautiful.

[lmagick]

she has perfect teeth

[XxCutieWithTheKickxX]

I luv yewwww

[aaprato]

S Q U E A K Y

[itspaulliinnee]

i love her smile at 00:13

[mondispartan]

Idina is Rachel moms!!!

[arw20]

She is talented, but there is no one better than Rachel Tucker in my opinion. I even think Lea Michele's voice is better (but I've only heard that recorded, not live). But to reiterate, Rachel Tucker is bloomin' fantastic!!!

[Applebutter799]

OK everyone has to remember how many times she's sang this song! and she said specifically that singing it for so long and so many times that it destroyed her voice! so of course she isn't singing the best that she has before

[beyonze2010]

i dont like her voice quality !

[dazjah14]

Yall hate and say so many bad things but, she is a tony award winner so hate on that

[AdrialeEU]

OMG She has no voice O.o (I admit I saw Kerry Ellis' version first)

[OctoberBaby1018]

@AdrialeEU have you heard her on broadway? there are videos. she blows everone else away by far

[sonicfuker]

I love artists who perform better live.

[ztalker2002]

NO effort.. :) She sang it beautifully through her nose. :) hahaha OH LOL's

[donaldlover4ever]

Ew omg she sings through her nose.

[kvbella]

@donaldlover4ever WHATEVER she sounds amazing

[carihigs]

@donaldlover4ever That's what she sounds like when she talks, too. She just has a very raspy voice, is all. :)

[Porunga111]

NOTHING can top this

[Ssejet]

This is an AMAZING arangement! Really contrasts with the high energy pace in Wicked and makes it a really beautiful song.

[luhuro29]

Increíble

[KtwMjsuperfan]

When Leah Michele get's older, She'll look exactly like Idina

[Nicaraguaful2]

@KtwMjsuperfan Even their laughs are equally contagious LOL

[mythia21]

@KtwMjsuperfan and sounds xD

[KtwMjsuperfan]

@mythia21 True, Maybe the singing style but I Dunno if her voice will get that low Actually you're totally right..... :D

[mythia21]

@KtwMjsuperfan they both have small voicews xDDDDDD

[Gigglepud]

@KtwMjsuperfan Lea already does...

[Ramx26x]

@KtwMjsuperfan Exactly hhahahahaha When i saw Idina in Glee I thought she was her real mother

[29PonyLover]

@KtwMjsuperfan you mispelled Lea

[KtwMjsuperfan]

@29PonyLover That was a bit petty, but Sorry, it's a habit, As I'm not used to spelling her name like that...

[andartarius]

@KtwMjsuperfan hum leah michelle is already in her mid twenties, she aint gonna change much

[KtwMjsuperfan]

@andartarius People change every day.... I'm sure when she get's older, in that "Older but still pretty" age, she'll have the same features as Idina

[rdm4561]

this is my ringtone because it reminds me of my past life and the life i live now
