Wicked - Full Defying Gravity on Piano (I hope you're happy)

[FadingTattoo]

This is just.... This is absolutely amazing.

[Crazyemilie21222]

Heeey!! i think this is the greatest piano piece i have seen yet!!! :] idk if you get on anymore, but ive been playing for almost 10 years now and i really would LOVE to learn this. i know you've said you dont have any sheet music for this but is there any tips on how to help me learn this?? please and thank you! :]

[ImCalebRosengard]

Where can I buy the sheets?

[Javindo]

That was amazing - thanks for posting :)

[Scatman1701]

I play this every morning to get motivated, though I haven't learned those extra parts yet.

[Xcorpsman85]

so happy you kept the original rhythm because too many ppl rush through the song and it loses quality

[lonniehaan]

so amazing

[AcEman914]

My life is complete. Wait, no it's not, i have to be able to play this myself. thumbs up if you wish you could do this :)

[bremela1]

i love it! wish i could play that well.

[Tilan123]

oh wait...sorry:p lol

[Tilan123]

i wish u got that piano tuneddd:(

[maroonmystique]

Tune your piano Please!!!! but also do a tutorial!!!

[funnymilkshake]

Your piano is really out of tune!

[hannahbananabelle]

your amazing btws!

and just so everyone knows though, there is a full score online. they don't sell it and i don't know if it's supposed to be there or not, but it is. it's like 200 pages i can email the file if anyone wants it! it has every instrumental arrangement, even the ones that didn't have lyrics; i love it!

[Tkshreve]

Bravo!

My sheet is in the mail...... looking forward to this challenge now. You've convinced me the time and effort will be worth it!

[Sareth740]

*tear*

[danielbarley]

omg omg omg omg omg omg amazing!, made me fall in love with Wicked again, <3 fantastic!!!

[divadude0411]

Fan Friggin Tastic!!! I wish I had that kind of talent. You put yourself into the song, and you can tel you loved playing it!

[crazyrandom3]

Omg. That was amazing... :D I'm SO jealous. I want to learn this SOOO bad. :D

[KateMiller0135]

this is fantastic. I've also tried to learn this song and it's toughh. But you make it look easy, which is what every good pianst should do. I think I'm going to give this song another shot, and practice a crap ton. Once again, FANTASTIC!

[friendfan06]

WOW beautiful the version I'm learning is missing all the beginning and some of the middle also I love the ending

[bl3ndi11]

*cannot close jaw*

i think i'm going to be in awe and feel completely inferior for a good few days.

that was amazing :)

[ACT1SCENE4]

Make sure you stay with the tempo. I Know it changes throught the song but Dont rush the eighth notes! but Its awsome!

[keitaira]

You are the best!

[jbidwe01]

I want to learn this so bad... fantastic

[greendaybryce]

Could you post one with just you playing the orchestrations? I want to hear it without the vocal part playing :)

[chilleliz]

ive been trying to learn this but so far ive only got the first two pages down *sigh*

[iluvbabysitting95]

This was amazing! I now want to learn it on the piano!

[Soapygold]

Wow, this is phenomenal! I love it!

[BrittanyHargestFan4]

hi, ive been working on tis on and off for the past few months and i find it extremly difficult how do u manage?????

[Lman1138]

@BrittanyHargestFan4 Three things: patience, practice, and an almost compulsive need to play the parts missing from the official sheet music.

[HamCatFace]

@Lman1138 the chorus is too short in the original i think... i always lengthen the bits I like the most in songs lol... is that bad?

[HTLight]

how do you get this version of the song??? I've seen a few videos on youtube now of this version and I REALLY want to learn it!

[hugenintendofan]

GREAT!

[GabbyEliO]

wow! i just bought the hal leonard play along for piano, it hasnt come yet. I can already play defying gravity, but no where near as good as you lol. well done.

[Bohemian94]

Wow, that's so fantastic! I'm doing this song every day on my keyboard (my piano's broken :-( ), and I love it when someone can play this beautiful song.

[dippydai]

amazing, well done

[bondguy454]

ahh i've almost got it, the last 2 1/2 pages to go! I'M SO EXCITED!!! i've spent the last year on and off in my piano lessons trying to get it down, it's paying off

[Lman1138]

@bondguy454

Congrats, and keep at it! It's very satisfying once you're able to express yourself by finishing the song.

[debz12321]

wow amazing! i can play the main chords, but i can't play with it with the vocals... xD

[DavidGarnett1990]

is that the pedal squeaking or is there a budgie in the room ? fantastic playing :D

[marvinalmodal]

I have a keyboard but I don't think I can do this,because I only have half of the keys from a big piano.HELP SOMEONE!

[epeachygrl]

Amazing!!! (:

[kindofmagicmike]

i wish the sound quality of the video was better

[jimbolic0809]

this made me cry. It's so beautifully played

[Paisley41295]

OMG YOU ARE SOOOO GOOOD!!!!!!!

I am trying to learn this on the piano too but its so hard!

[engjengneer23]

[timothyalmonte]

[TenorPlayer1800]

i always wanted to just sit in like a dining hall or at a friends house and just hop on the baby grand and play this amazing symphony sounding song... ur amazing, have u had any formal training growing up??

[Dreadfox123]

[Moundfreek]

First, this is beyond fantastic. Instant fave.

Second, do you own a lovebird?

[Lman1138]

Yep, that's my lovebird.

[Moundfreek]

Haha, after posting, I realized that I asked you this question 2 years ago. Even when watching the video, I was having this weird flashback to a chirping bird. Gotta love lovebids, I know I love mine!

[Paisley41295]

@Lman1138 i love lovebirds!!

[YukonExpatriate]

I hear a birdy! :p

Great playing! This piece sounds fantastic on piano!

[princessmelissa14]

you are amazing

what a talent

thank you for sharing it with us all

[teacherfreak]

I love this song from this musical, i just orderd this book for piano. I love it i am pretty sure i can play it easly, i play for our choir and i can just sit down and start playing new music so i cant wait to get it!

[ospreyh20]

my ear just had an orgasm

[Lman1138]

Don't you mean... (wait for it)... EARgasm?

*runs and hides from tomatoes*

[TheMonkey8MyHomework]

LMFAO!!! That made my day!!

[KittenCop14020]

@Lman1138 *throws tomato* sorry, you asked for it by prematurely hiding from tomatoes. you were fantastic though. Absolutely fantastic.

[Lman1138]

@KittenCop14020 Don't worry. I like tomatoes! =)

[CheeseLoverBob]

Don't worry. The tomatoes in my fridge aren't rotten yet.

[EmmaStar100]

omg this is amazing... thx for posting this, this song has ALOT of sentimental value to me..... just thx

[gumby300]

i really liked the stuff you added by ear; it really works :) great job

[gemicegem]

you may not be on the best piano in the world but you make it work!!! Well done it sounds great!

[biffyrules]

you are amazing!

im learning this from the official book, this has given me inspiration to keep learning it.

well done!

[lokirat]

i used to play by ear but now the only keyboard i have is this one im typing on. thank you for taking the time to perform this!!!! :D a joy to hear

[ieatslowly]

Really well done!

Just a suggestion... you should position the camera in like a top view or something, to showcase the skills of those awesome hands.

[p3fan09]

beautifully played, it gave me chills just like the actual song.

[mrsouundtech14]

hey could u send me the music sheet plz.

yr reli gd

[LisaSimpson101]

wooow.....

I'm 11and I play by ear. But i can still read music cos i play 3 or 4 different instruments....:P

I hope to be as good as this one day :)

[tooty644]

i can too im 10 but im a better singer

[CaeliisaBEAST]

i can play it from the book, up to the unlimited part and from there it gets a bit dodgy. When i got the book at first i practiced for about four hours to get the first page!! this arrangement was really inspirational and i might add the other bits in by ear now eg the delusions of grandeur bit and the are you coming bit. thank you!!!

[HappyHappyChannel]

thank you so much! I have to audition with this and needed it!!!!! Omg Thank you

[NeinBalloons]

You inspired me :)

[athenatibi]

That was great! Check out my cover of defying gravity in JAPANESE :)

[mattcookie]

can u post a version that more like a backing track as opposed ot the vocal parts played in aswell ? O tried but i stopped on some of the page turns aha x

[MannyEllie4ever]

wow ur amazing

i can only play 'beauty and the beast' and 'the phantom of the opera theme'

my brother can play by ear

and he can play 'i kissed a girl' by katy perry

and 'so what' by pink

[remocleo]

i can do memory from cats by my ear and music

[kanumbra]

[SaltyTank07]

...you said it!

[20grace06]

This is Amazin!!!

[thecliqueroxx10]

Amazing! I hope that I can learn this on the piano soon!

[chocolatelvr95]

Wow! That has got to be the best version I have heard so far...Stunning!

[xoxgayandyxox]

lol i wud love to sing to this with you playing it, we shoudl man x x

[danielbarley]

You hoped i was hapy, and I am happy, I'm intrigued in learning this song and I just wanted to see how it was really done, seems like you own an anoyying budgie as well. An amazing rendition. *favouriting*

[chocolatelvr95]

That was AMAZING....

[TheDirector600]

Good Job! I play piano too..I really like how you captured more parts (or instruments) in the song on the piano, I have always thought that the piano version leaves out to many notes/parts that I really like. Well done!

[soph2991]

Wow how did you get the extra music-or did you just play it by ear?

[brvsmi]

GREAT!!!

[elhoserboy]

Wow

[minion789]

Stunning

[Mizutoki808]

i love it!

no, no, no...

I LOOOVE ITTTT:)

i love this song. and love wicked. and love you for making this, about wicked. yeah. umm... so now im just rambling.

yayywicked!! :)

[belles0n]

one word: wow !

[KaleDavid]

Nice work, just tune the piano next time :)

[skih9]

FANTASTIC! I've been trying to pick up piano again and you played each note so clearly, it makes it much easier to play off of; thanks!!!

[megoni123]

AMAZING! Do you have a canary or something, when it chirped it surprised me :P Any ways, that was fantastic!

[Scorpia710]

The bird in the background made me jump, lol. :D I love this song, and you play it so swiftly, thanks for sharing your talent!

[KatieBeee123]

haha samee!! :D

[Scorpia710]

I loved the way you played this, it's so inspiring, and so smooth. Just like someone had been singing it. A brilliant song, thank you for sharing! :D

[fullmetal87]

good job

[powerhourgame]

please tune and repost!!!!!

[guineat7]

this sound amazing! You are extremely talented, keep up the good work!

[rroberts02]

Awesome, Could you possibly re-record with the piano in tune? I feel like we are missing a piece of our lives knowing how much better this could be :) Great job !!!

[Bohemian94]

Amazing! I wish I could have the notes....

[Sangoforever]

That was really good!

[sarzed10]

Wow. I have now listened to this so many times I have lost count! You are extremely talented :D

I am learning to play the piano and this makes me want to sit down and work for as long as it takes until I am able to play that song half as well as you just did!

Well Done!!

[samsayspeace]

1:05 .

[laurarox01]

It's awesome but the piano sounds bad =(

[Lman1138]

I know, I know. I wish I had time to re-record it on my tuned piano.

[SingTilliDrop]

complete brilliance!!!

[mish24601]

excellent. the only version in youtube that is exact to the piece. i can rehearse with this it's so great!

[BlondieFreak07]

Omg

unbeliveably good!!

[Emu132]

Oh em gee -speechless-

That was the most EPIC piano cover I have seen of wicked!!

You, dear sir, are one talented musician!

Can I hear a woot?! :D x

[KrmillaKrstein]

OMG THE BEST VERSION SO FAR TILL NOW you're amazing really... i cannot ever read well the notes XD im so jelous!

[bexi3]

I'm so jealous!

I'm having so much difficulty with this piece! I just can't fathom it at all!

It just sounds so amazing! Nice one! x

[Siriuslyfun19212]

That.

is absolutely.

beast.

The end.

There, I said it.

[PicklePushkin]

I'm learning to play this right now, and hearing this makes me really excited for how it'll sound when I'm done learning it. Though I doubt I'll sound nearly as amazing as you; you're clearly extremely talented. I would NEVER be able to add the "I hope you're happy" part just by ear.

[XmillyX3494]

This is AMAZING! You are such a grest player!!! THanks alot :)

[ILuvElphaba1994]

i wish i could play like you ! i learn a lot of my stuff by ear and i just got the wicked book ... i'm obsessed with icked , best thing in the world :) good work ... do you think you could maybe post an easier tutorial video ?

[p1erced]

you are so good im so jealous

[heartofagreengirl]

WOW, youre GOOD!!

[Ravencroft77]

AMAZING!

[MyFuzzyScarf]

Hahaha, I heard the bird and was like "BIRDIE!" This was very impressive; I almost like hearing it more than hearing the original.

[saxomaphone2011]

[BubblyNikkeh]

[peteypeterson80]

[jordino12]

[Roboprop]

DAMN! that was good!!!!!

[tamerofhope]

Wow, this is nothing short of amazing. I couldn't find anything wrong with it anywhere. Every where was wow on key, on tempo, just amazing. It would've been so much better on a better piano but I understand you have to work with what you have.

Gah, I wish I had talent like you. :]

[Aiveen]

THIS IS A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

[defygravitycooleo]

I agree with OhSweetOz.. i have perfect pitch and i couldnt have added that in better... you are amazing : )

[Continental180]

holy crap. this is beyond amazing. you hit every key properly, and on note. i hear them singing when you play.

amazing, pure talent right there.

[OhSweetOz]

I have perfect pitch and love doing things by ear. I could not have done this better myself. you are an amazing musician =)

[paulio2604]

You sir are a genius!

[ElessarandBrego]

SUGOI!! Sugoi dess ne! (AMAZING!) You're absolutely amazing! I wish I could play like that. Besides that...I adore this song. ^ ^

[LeCoeurDeLaMer]

[geturguccion]

I love the sound of the pianom and i love this song. what a great combination. Beautiful!

[itsMARTHAtime]

[fangirlxlovex]

[KikyoHater167]

EPIC WIN. I loved it. 5 stars

[edwardsangel001]

wow, that was beautiful. thanx

[fangelchild]

OMG, that is some of the most amazing by-ear/improvisation I've ever heard! (The very beginning part.) Whoa, I wish I could do that beginning part! I have the Wicked sheet music book, and I can play For Good, Wonderful, The Wizard and I, Popular, I'm Not That Girl, and some others. DG is proving to still be too difficult for me, as is NGD and ALAYM, but I'm working on them. I've got 12 years of experience behind me, how about you?

[greenday4u]

it was fantastic

[gracee93]

WOW!!! YOU ARE TOTALLY AMAZING!!!

[PiNKRIZE]

OMG! thats so good! and soulful <3 i wish i could play like you! i cant even read music but im trying to learn it by tabs...toooo hard! T_T
