  • I defied gravity while listening to this. She got me so high as if i could touch the sky

  • I love her voice, but I will always prefer her singing it with Kristin.

  • @ziackary3 Shushh she's amazing!

  • she's a good performer but she is very much overrated, her voice is weak at points when it sound be strong and loud, but I still love her.

  • I have seen Wicked 4 times during Idina's contract because of the way she sung this song. I just seen it again last week took my wife because she never seen it before and it was good but not like when Idina and Kristen sang it. I told my wife she has no idea the voice on these two. They should both do the last show of Wicked on Broadway.

  • I never cared for Idina Menzel's performances that I have seen on TV (even the Tony Awards performance) and thought she was a bit overrated but I actually liked this version. She adds more character and dimension to the song.

  • @FunLoveGirl123 Because in the otherones she was Elphaba here, here she is Idina =)!

  • I first discovered her in Rent and absolutely LOVED!! her in it. As Elphaba, she does an amazing job!!!. Her singing gives me chills!!!

  • I'm gonna defy the gravity tomorrow!!!!!!!!

  • 4:25 she has such an amazing voice, love the bit at the end <3

  • I've never heard this version before. I LOVE how she put the line from Wizard and I in there! :D

  • It's interesting to see her out of costume. I fell in love with Wicked when I first saw it on broadway on a school trip. The wicked will have special place in my heart. She's amazing. I never cared about Glinda, but Elphaba ruled the show.

  • Amazing love wicked !

  • Saw her at Deer Valley in Park City last night. WOW, what a voice and she can really work an audience. Lots of funny stories as well. She Rocks!!!

  • She is amazing..but I think the german elphaba is even better!!!!!

  • She is married to Taye Diggs

  • She wouldn't just go posting a message like that in YouTube for billions of people to see!

  • I doubt your her mother!

  • @DAISY99902 she never claimed to be idina's mother! she said she was the mother of someone who loved this song :P

  • peanut,I see why you love this song and her voice is so amazing too!!!Mom loves you forever and always no matter what you do in life!!!!!!be happy sweetie,i will love you forever, mom

  • i love idina, but Willemijn is really just as good :D love them both <3

  • I'm so lucky I got to meet her! She was one of the third grade teachers sisters and she came to our bingo night!

  • i love this woman. so very beautiful.

  • How can anyone dislike this

    

  • Oh dear lord her voice is too perfect. I'm afraid that I'm gonna die by listening to this. <33333

  • @BigAJD54 If you think Wicked "ruined" The Wizard of Oz then why the bloody hell are you watching Idina who is an actress who STARRED in Wicked, let alone originate the role of Elphaba?!

    And yes I'm aware your comment was 2 years ago but that doesn't stop me from saying anything to you so don't make that as an excuse.

  • amazing woman right there!

  • 50 people are still on the ground.

  • @Kristina actually, if u looked in the piano book that is sorta what is in there!

  • Fuck.

    I love this woman.

    <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  • @ hbatesy95 i know it just sounds so different

  • whoa.

  • Willemijn Verkaik is the best Elphi with the best voice...

  • @caecusamorsui Roberta Valentini isn't bad as well, and Anna Thorén has improved alot!

  • I love her soooo much. Really amazing voice

  • very good singing .just saying when i sing i get a load noice cant decribe but u getting it not afecting ur atall j

  • i love how she sings: so, if you care to find me. idk why, i love it!

  • wow good job but it sounds a little funny (i have the cd and defying gravity on itunes) and she put a part from the wizard and i in here. (unlimited...)

  • @Krirstina its her single version. not the wicked version :)

  • This is such a freakin' difficult song to sing, yet she made it sound so easy!!

  • ily

    

  • is she crying ?? cause at the start she wipes under her eye??

  • I LOVE IDINA MENZEL!!

    YOU DAH BOMB IDINA YOU DAH BOMB!!!!

    its not fair she NEEDS to be back on broadway D;

  • love her warm loving feeling at 1:46

  • Oh. My. Gosh. Idina. Go. Back. On. Broadway. Seriously, this is unfair, I was only nine when your contract ended! I hardly knew anything about musicals! I didn't even have a chance! Dx

    Not gonna name names, but certain people...SO many people...can eat her dust 'cuz she NEVER needs Autotune. It comes out like this NATURALLY. And that look on her face while she's singing...see, that's exactly why I love performing~ This song brings tears to my eyes! ಥ_ಥ

  • 49 ppl are decedents of Sir Isaac Newton

  • 49 people wish they had the talent that she has!!!!!

  • Amazing

  • 49 people weren't defying gravity

  • @spartan4126 Haha i take it you havent seen the Broadway version live?

  • @GIeeky I don't get why people said my comment was negative. I like the duet version better than a solo singer. I said this lady and the guy who plays "Kurt" should do a duet and I guess people were like ah mah gawd that's negative.

  • Thos sounds so strange without the duet,

  • OMG! even when its distorted shes still frinkin amazing.... I LOVES U!!! *HUGS

  • man, I'm a guy and I still find idina phenomenal in her singing. she is one of my favorite singers because of that amazing voice of hers. it's too bad she's not doing wicked anymore because I never got a chance to go and I really did. my friends would probably never respect me if they knew I loved her voice so much. (and yes I don't have the best friends but w/e, not the point)

  • Belt it woman, BELT IT!!!1

  • Does she sing anything other than this song? The Magic man only does his trick one time, if he did the same trick in front of the same people 8945485098 times that would get a little boring, dont you think?

  • @SingJiya You could look on youtube for "Take Me Or Leave Me" It's from the musical RENT, or maybe her singing "Funy girl"... Just so you see that she can sing other things... I personaly think the woman could sing the alphabet and it would still be perfect

  • @Ne1509 "could sing the alphabet" That is so over used, so American Idol.

  • @SingJiya It doesn't matter how over used it is... It's the truth.

  • @SingJiya stfu please :D

  • @SingJiya hell no it wouldn't

  • This is my all time favorite song. And when you add Idina in there it's even better!!!!!

  • Is she still on broadway?

  • @boy29girl No she's on tour right now. But she says she will be, she likes to originate roles. :)

  • I just love Idina..... I wish I could see her in concert!!!!

  • 46 people are very verrry jelous :) she has an amaazing voice! x

  • Too bad i cant LOVE this music video ! i think maybe 670 views on this video is because of me ;D

    <3 Idina Menzel forever and ever ! shes my idol (:

  • Omg. Where was this? I live in Nashville. I wud have loved to seen her!!!!

  • when i hear this song i get all wobbly and butterflies in my stomach, only when its Idina singing though. She is the best and only elphaba in my heart.

  • She sounds so much better. What happened at the tony's?

  • @Mrrongarocks That's what I've been wondering.

  • @Mrrongarocks She had an asthma attack right before her performance.

  • she is so amazing how could anyone not like her and say that lea sings better though lea is an amazing singer she can not compare to idina when she sings those last words in defying gravity it just gives me the chills. i love her so much and so happy i was able to see her in concert <3

  • 48 ppl thought dislike was "dis i like"

  • @nickelet822 you lied 49 people thought it was dis i like

  • @nickelet822 Haha! That's actually really creative :D

  • @TheColton2013 people say that all the time. So it's really not

  • @margarita141414 Well I've never seen it before sooooo....that was my opinion for the first time I've seen it. Thanks though...? Not sure how to respond to that haha!

  • @enagtiney: You got it wrong; it's the other way around. It's Idina Menzel who sounds like Minnie Mouse, while it's Lea Michelle who sounds like Alvin the chipmunk. Either way, they're both annoyingly squeaky...

  • Goose bumps!...... Enough said.

  • She is the one and only Elphaba!

  • @singjiya ha you love idina. This is the second video I've seen of herd that you've posted on. Pathetic little troll.

  • I love her

    She's simply amazing!<3

  • @Charmed71 What was she saying when the video started? :)

  • My sister is annoyed by my constant watching Idina sing, so she said "You know the rules, no Idina Menzel (of course she butchered Idina's beautiful name) past 9:00" and I was like "I wanna see the law signed by the president!"

  • ~look what im listening to again ! ;D

    why ? because Idina Menzel is amazing !

  • idina is amazing. anyone who thinks otherwise obviously has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. either that or they're deaf.

  • How someone can say that Idina Menzel needs singing lessons is beyond me. I can't even...

  • Idina Menzel is perfect.

  • Is it me or is anyone else getting a repressed homosexuality vibe from SingJiya? I would bet that he is in a home where the slightest mention of any homosexuality is abhorrent. This is classic Freudian stuff people!

  • ~okaay, it really bothers me how people can put stuff like "she needs singing lessons", she has so much awards, no one is booing her in this crowd, she's having a good time and doing a great job doing what shes doing. I can listen to her for a very long time, because she is excellent with what she does... thats why shes famous and all the negative hypocrites aren't, she defy'd gravity and succeeded the hypocrites didnt... thats why there commenting on this video and Idina Menzel is being watched

  • @jobysaabe Exactly..! This woman is fricking amazing. Plus one of her fans gave her that shirt SingJiya...! I dont care what's she's singing, she could be singin the f'in Twilight movie and I'd still listen becuase Idina's the shit! If you thoink she needs singing lessons you surely haven't watched Chess in Concert or even looked at any of her other videos. And if you don't like her then stop fucking watching, and being negative.

    ☮Idina <3 ☮

  • @Sarcasimfordays I FUCKING LOVE YOU ! :D

    you set it damn straight !

  • @jobysaabe Thanks, lol! :)

  • @Sarcasimfordays You can't even spell. Thoink is not a word therefore you know nothing about music.

  • @SingJiya It was a typo you ass, and wtf does the word think have to do with music.? .!

  • @Sarcasimfordays people who don't like her have just as much a right to express their opinion about her as those who do like her. (I love Idina too, but we don't have to tell everyone who dislikes her to stfu). Just give their posts a thumbs down ;-)

  • Comment removed

  • i love her shes so pretty and talented

  • 44 people didn't defy gravity

  • she has a golden globe award and she wears a 2 dollar swap meet shirt?

  • @SingJiya well, how come you keep on watching this video for maybe more than a month if you dont like it? you are so funny!

  • Her baby probably sleeps through the night every night with his mom and dad's lullabies. I could fall asleep to her singing pretty much anything.

  • Comment removed

  • ok so i listened to this perticular version and the acoustics succkc assss. but she has one of the sweetest voices in the world. will go and see her every time wicked is played

  • @SingJiya wait till Bieber hits puberty. then we'll talk.

  • Was recorded on dvd or cd ?

  • Does anyone know if this concert

  • @SingJiya Well actually that's part of the song, original from Wicked. If you don't like musicals or there casts why do you watch videos like this? You don't have to like it and everyone is entitled to there opinion but you don't seem well informed about Musical theater. If it isn't for your that's ok, but if you are interested in it even a little, (because you have posted a lot in regards to a Musical theater song) than keep an open mind, you may find a song that means something to you.

  • @SingJiya Urgh you're so disgusting and you're grouping people together which is a horrible thing to do too. When you cease to see people for who they are, you cease to be a human...you just turn into a monster. You can have your opinions just don't go spewing your vemon where other people can see them....have a little respect. It looks like your trying to play the part of God to be honest, who are you to say whats wrong and right? Geez, learn some tolerance once in while you homophobe.

  • I can't stop watch this video. Her voice shines through the bad quality. One question, though - at about 2:55 that t-shirt seems to suddenly appear in her hand. Any idea where she got that from?

  • @trappedolphin It looks like was wrapped around her waist at the beginning, and when the camera zooms in at around 2:53, she takes it off :)

  • @horsehorsetigertiger Ah, I see. Thanks! It was driving me crazy for some reason, haha.

  • For what it's worth, they're doing this song a whole step lower than the normal key of C# on broadway.

    You can tell by the register... it seems more comfortable for her in Bma instead of C#ma.

    I like this version!

  • @SingJiya you obviously need to grow up a little and mature. she is an amazing singer and to even compare her to justin beiber is and insult to her. not everyone that likes her is a homo either. you are sorely uninformed. 

  • i love how she puts her own twist on this song :]

  • @SingJiya You are the dumbest person ever. You get up there, sing infront of millions of people, see wht people say about you. Obviously you're just jealous that you don't have the balls to do what these actors/actresses do everyday, and you know very well you don't have HALF the voice they do. And never will.

  • @PandaBear2015 Gays can sing high notes cause they get it in the butt and they are used to screaming!

  • @SingJiya Well, way to support yourself, and your singing/butt fuck screaming abilities.

  • wow this singjiya guy is such a dumbass, bringing up illogical and contracted arguments one after another. He probably doesn't even know that he's embarassing himself here. I hope he learns from his mistakes.

  • why are we talking about justin bieber on an amazing video of an amazing person who is an amazing singer?

  • Oh my god, she gets so into it. It's mindblowing. She sounds ...I... I'm not even going to try to verbalise it, because I know that I can't accurately.

  • your right, I would hold the mic like a pro 2" away from my bottom lip. She hold the mic like a rapper and we all know how gangsters sound. Can you say Distortion?

  • another thing she is doing wrong is closing her eyes when she sings. Simon hates that. Sing to the crowd, draw them in, involve them. Nothing more boring than a singer that is singing to hear their own voice. I am telling you even when she talks the mic is to close. At one point in the song the mic was 1" in her mouth?

  • @SingJiya number 1: lights, thats why shes closing her eyes, she cant even see the audience

    number 2: i dont see how the way shes holding the mic has anything to do with her being a great singer. she sings for theatre, she doesnt need to learn correct mic skills for her career, its irrelevant

  • @AnimeIsAwsome14 Thats cool, its just a bad habit. It would probably be to hard for her the change now anyway. If you compare Justin Bieber to her the kid has better technique than her, therefore will go further in his career, infact he makes more money than she does and he only been around for 1 year. That is the difference in a Pro, people like him because the can understand his lyrics, Mic 101.

  • @SingJiya Are you really comparing a Tony award winner to Justin Bieber? Really?

  • @blankone26 Well he is making more money, plus he is more popular than Adina, so a Tony means nothing. Bieber is popular around the globe. He is more known than all the Diva's put together, Mariah, Celine, Whitney, who is Beyonce? Yes I am comparing she is know only to the Gay community. Bieber is know to all!

  • @SingJiya yes...because all of his songs are overplayed and millions of teenage girls listen to his music...you cannot compare prime talent compared to autotuned bullshit, i'm sorry but your accusation is false

  • Comment removed

  • @HatakskeHitaru Thank you! I couldn't agree more!

  • @SingJiya Actually, Idina is a lot more popular than Beiber. Her voicce is reknown from her work on the musical (and movie) Rent. And her turn in Wicked as the Witch. Not to mention her appearances on one of the most popular television shows in the world Glee. Beiber, as he himself has explained, can't even sing soem of the songs on his debut CD now because his voice has changed. Regardless of how "correctly" he may hold the microphone as he lip synchs through his performances.

  • @meinrad1337 Rent, nobody knows about that. The only people who go to those shows are people in Jr high drama classes and the fags. I hear them sing Wicked songs and over the rainbow and it makes me sick to see that. Homo's are the only guys in the audience. The dancers in the show are all Gay, promoters, directors all Gaytards. Everything that has to do with those shows has a common backbone and its, give the homo's a playground. You know it and I know it.  Now the world knows it!

  • @SingJiya Wow.. you went from mis-guided fan of Beiber to Hitler Youth in one post. What a sad life you must lead. So much hatred (from a fan of a little pop singer no less) and venom in your words. I really wish your parents had hugged you more and taught you the power of accepting those different from you. Your simplistic analysis aside.. you are a troglodyte and I wonder if your hatred stems from something else instead. An American Beauty situation perhaps....

  • @SingJiya Everyone uses someone or something for themselves.. You, for instance, use Youtube and the Internet to spew your bile about people when, in actuality, you are scared of your own feelings. It's okay ... find your parents.. hug them. Hopefully, they have not raised you this way.

  • @SingJiya Mmm, this homo can't wait to get his hands on you <3

  • @SingJiya Hitler youth. Everybody knows about Musical Theatre unless you live under a rock. It's not all about gay people, and even if it was, it doesn't matter. RENT and Wicked are some of Broadway/West End's best shows and if you don't like it, it's your loss, not mine. And by the way, what the hell are you doing watching a video of someone you don't like? I know. It's probably because you realized Idina's better than, you and you're just jealous.

  • @SingJiya I'm curious. How old are you? I very much hope you are below 13. At least that way you are just incredibly ignorant. If you are any older then you are just incredibly stupid. 1) You are comparing her singing style to American Idol. Newsflash! She isn't trying to win a competition, she's already won a Tony, much more prestigious than being on idol. She closes her eyes because she is acting.

    2)Do you really think Justin Bieber is more popular than Whitney, Celine and Beyonce together?

  • @SingJiya You never said how old you were. You are so uneducated. American Idol is CRAP. Idina isn't even in her prime in this video and she could still wipe the competition away. And, you are correct, she isn't in a show. But it is from a show she did 8 times a week for a few years. People have come to see her because of Wicked. Simon is not the singing technique king. And you need to stop bringing up gays. You obviously have not ever seen Wicked. There is not ONE mention of homosexualtiy in it

  • @SingJiya I hope that one day you will see how wrong, ignorant, and stupid you are. But you probably won't. Have fun living a miserable life, because if you are so full of hate that's probably what you are living. If you hate gays and Idina so much then stop responding to the NUMEROUS posts saying youre wrong and stop watching it.

  • Comment removed

  • @SingJiya if I were you I would do my research before posting silly juvenile comments on this video. Justin Bieber ears more money than Idina? Does he really? Because last time I checked, Idina was the highest paid female actress on the West End at £30,000 per week. Please, dont even dare compare Justin Bieber with pure, amazing talent like this.

  • @SingJiya Who cares what Simon thinks? One person vs. hundreds maybe even thousands of fans. Who's going to win?

  • @SingJiya Are you saying Simon cares what Simon thinks? Isn't that obvious? Seriously, don't you have better things to do that hate on someone who know absolutely nothing about?

  • @ashleighdrummond I respect your opinion, but you have no idea what your talking about. Her singing is so, so, she really needs to take mic handling classes. Have you ever watched American Idol and seen those singer who tap the mic to the beat while they are singing? Those are the seminars she needs they will also tell her to be a total pro singer one must hold the mic 2" - 3" away from the lips. 3" when your really belting out a part, 2" when singing softly to normal.

  • @SingJiya I can understand that some people hate the fact that she sounds breathy at times due to a lifelong battle with asthma. But to call her so so is to call Audra Mcdonald average. 2 time Tony award nominee and the 2003 winner for best performance by a leading actress.. what DOES it take to "impress" you? A below average singer who holds the mic a correct distance from his/her mouth?

  • @meinrad1337 its a matter of opinion. People can not like other people, it isn't a crime. If you think Idina is great, that's your business, and if they think she sucks, that's their business. don't fight about it :)

  • @x0xTHLover4Lifex0x Oh I'm not fighting at all. I seriously want to know what singers she prefers and why.

  • is idina menzel nancy in the film enchanted? ;)) thanks.. i love herrrrr........

  • @denissejan yes she is

  • @denissejan Yeah. :)

  • @denissejan Yes. :) And I love her too.

  • She's incredible (:

  • she is perfection. i am in love

  • She's so amazing.

  • Really beautiful!

  • best song ever!
