Lincoln Ward- Defying Gravity "Tenor Key"

[samkidcool]

@flipper13130 It's in the key of F

[AUR4774]

i think you look sexy, like you just rolled out of bed. i know they can take away my gay card for this, but i can't stand showtunes. you are my exception. the end is my favorite part, when you let yourself go and just sing.

[flipper13130]

Hey @the726 , What key is this in?! I have to sing this!!

[anabanana997]

a little pitchy at times but GREAT job!!:)

[loathing14]

It's very riff-y (word?) but it sounds great! :D

[ayammmme]

Is these any way that you could send me the karaoke/track or whatnot???? Pretty please!!

[spellard]

Great version, but Raul Esparza did it up a tone, he did it in G, you did it in F, but to be fair, you nailed it in F :-)

[saulofers]

wow... that was surprising! I've been listening to many covers of this song and i actually have found versions that went worse and worse one after one.... as fast as i saw ur thumbnail idky but i thought to myself "failing coming soon" but, when u opened ur mouth and sang, u weren't that bad!! To me ur kinda far from being really amazingly awesome, but don't get me wrong, u surprised me! this is good! keep on working hard and u'll go far! ;D

[TruTrickz12]

why do you have to be so good? holy crap man...nice work.

[eladeira57]

Great job I like how you made it your own and didn't strain

[maireadnesbittfan]

unlike, so fake

[NanaFiltness]

:D

[MrGermex]

you have a load of talent , no doubt, i am just not sure of the placement of your voice. i obviously don't how your voice works mechanically, but as a vocal teacher, i would say that you should just be careful about your placing. to make sure your voice can last a long stage run. but a good job nevertheless :)

[bassoon89]

You are AMAZING! I made this youtube account just to comment on this video!!! :D

[rentobbesion]

If there was ever a male elphaba, i pick him!

[moomanchu817]

Really good!!! You have great control of your

voice!

[demetrilord]

Awesome ;)



[elphbwckd]

Amazing voice! Beautiful boy! What more can you ask for?

[beastlygal8]

Ugh, utterly lush!

[RuckalltheFules]

Well done mate. Well done.

[TheBrentthurman]

this is good...for a male cover to a traditional female song. good job

[ginohhh]

Don't listen to these douches. The Shoshana riffs are my favourite part of your version.

[MrWickedinAus]

That is the best male defying gravity i have ever heard! If only you didn't do the second down it would have been perfect... i still give you a 9.999 out of 10!

[TheTony2013Rocks]

Where did you get the background track?

[SuperAlexcasas]

smile geez but other than that very good just needs better tone

[iMaxStephen]

best male defying gravity cover ever!!!!!!

[SpaceAgeTubeDude]

Excellent! You're a great singer. Broadway better take you because they would be crazy not to.

[davidyanesito]

Speechless.

[CocoCola03256]

Your runs at the end? MAD AWESOME!

[CocoCola03256]

This is ridiculously good! I love the emphasis u put on "I'll" @ 1:13. It was u could really hear the power in there!

[jlkpatt]

OMG you could totally be Fiyero if you auditioned

[FantomLightning]

@jlkpatt Hell he could be fuckin Elphaba if he wanted

[MsSingingNerd]

you are good and i have a question are you related to tyler ward?

[suckdr]

I've heard a lot of people sing this song & you nailed it!!! Idina would be proud!

[hkd1404]

lol. he looks happy. i liked it.

[Grooney512]

hey, where did you get the backing track in the right key?

[dereknatl]

The BEST guy version by a LONG shot. Absolutely amazing :)

[17DefyingGravity]

WOWEE !!!!!!!! =D i have been looking for ages to find a voice lie yours :) just amazing !! Do you have like a backing track for the song by any chance ?? looing into doing the song myself for an audition x

[lillymarch263]

damn!

[mrdefyinggravity]

wow you are amazing and im totally in love right now

[mrdefyinggravity]

woww u are totally amazing and im totally in love right now!

[imPathogenic]

you have a good voice, but the song says defying gravity.

[musicfreck03]

You have a good voice at the end tho i felt that your rife for you last 'bring me down' was to long. but over all really welldone

[JeazDancer]

Well Your Video is the first Defying Gravity Cover i actually sat through and listened fully to. Good Job.

[MrFJ1993]

You look a bit like Niki-Davis jones the u/s Elphaba in London, and you sound amazing!

[asswhole239]

@MrFJ1993 Nikki's Standby btw, not understudy :P <3

[MrFJ1993]

love it!!

[therealdirkdiggler]

fag

[leelee987654]

your like a male shoshana!

[rafalafa94]

WOW, my favorite defying defying gravity!

[broadwayboundguy]

Great voice. Very nice. Too much riffing, though. Don't get me wrong, they were great, but it became more of a "Listen to me. I sing pretty. Isn't my voice great?" And it truly is. Embellishments are fabulous, my friend, but don't let them be the focus of your performance. More emotion. You're great! Keep up the work!! I'd love to see more.

[BreakfastAtLovelys]

Amazing. Amazing, please keep it up.

[standout47]

I loved the second verse MUCH more than first!!! You put more feeling into it I think...you changed the key for the final 30 seconds, but still good :)

[musicalfan09]

WOW!!!

That was so good!!! You have a great voice (and you look great too:P)..

This sons is really amazing, I tried it also but that was not to good

Amazing!

[KylezD13]

Most original Defying Gravity I've found. Yes, I do think the vocal roller coaster(s) are a bit annoying, but let's not forget. We are looking for something new, and that's exactly what we've found with this video!

[tatyspookybaby]

What is the key of this song... I wanna sing it. i'm a tenor too!!

[ABR19ABR]

Ewwwuh

[XxPartyStarxX1]

wow that is amazing:)

[Puppies140]

U BETTA SING!!!

[mattcookie]

lovee itt, who ever said ur riffing too much is being ridiculous, the more riffs the better tbh dont stop :D its os refreshing to see ppl that dont just copy boring old idina menzel, good stuff :D

[tjadee14]

could you send me the karaoke please :D?

[Simpleplangrl3]

Look at his face expretion at 2:32 - 2:35 .

Its cute lol.

Great singing<3

Favorite cover.

[gmailguy101]

What key is this in??

[bigmike0402]

you riff way too much dude. you should try and find the tune that is a bit deeper cause that would be easier for you to sing. you have a good voice but i think you are trying too hard correctly sing that song in a way that your voice can't handle. In all honestly i didnt like it sorry.

[henrybrett91]

Really Really good! could i trouble you for the backing track? I'd love to have a go :-p

[shotababy14]

You have a really nice voice. I would consider working on you're riffing just a bit. It is a little repetitive. Something I'm sure you can easily fix with your level of talent.

[hottiom]

not only an amazing voice u r hot to :P

[Bru1990mandms]

NICE!!!

[maestromarble08]

omg if possible can you send me the back track for this ?..or where can i get it??

[01wickedboy]

AWESOME JOB MAN! Keep up the great work!

[Faba1a]

you look like nathan horton from days of our lives.. its good tho.. hes hott

[mykgorse]

awesome!! is there anyway you could post the backing track in this key or send it to me so i can do a cover? thanks a lot.

[emlikesmushroom]

you're absolultely amazing!

[harajukukevin6657]

i thought it was good! i love youre voice, but i imagine elphaba having a deeper voice, idk since she is the Wicked Witch of the West, in contrast to Glinda's high voice

[TheJustin1791]

wow, wow, wow wow, and WOW! this is my absolute favorite defying gravity video i have found!!!!!!!! and the fact we are friends on facebook and to know i get to meet you when i start webco!!! omg. your riffs are soooooooo natural you dont even have to try!!!!!!! i cant wait to watch you on broadway!!!!!!!! your FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!

[mistafashionista1]

i love your tone, your vibrato, your, expression, and your amazing control :D

[coraloffaith]

You're voice is AMAZING!! Just relax your face, you look nervous. Have confidence. Cause your AWESOME!!

[bolty1704]

I think this is one of the best versions of Defying Gravity I have found on youtube - and believe me i've been a fan since 2007 so that's a lot of videos!

[JonnoJonnerz]

Wow. Such a nice voice :)

The riifs are great! - only overused on the second 'down' at the end.

But bloody fantastic, I'd say =)

[harajukukevin6657]

as someone who also sings this song, i have to say that was amazing!

[jenerns]

nice tenor key

[Fabi4you]

amazingness! loved your riffs

[1Seraph1]

wow you're so sweet!

[danie029]

I LOVE you Lincoln and I miss you and your amazingness to death!

[Tye060]

absolutly fantastic cover dude, i would pay to see you anyday :)

[abcxyzcrap]

You are the best male I've heard sing this song. GRRRREAT job. And I heard that riff on the second "Bring Me Down!" at the end! Haha, simpler is better sometimes. But other than that, You did UHHH-MAZZING!!

[Paynekillr]

Beautiful. Brought a tear to my eye. Bravo!!!

[2newsnow]

That was amazing. I cannot even say anymore. :O

[thecurehunk69tm]

i thought you did absolutely FANTASTIC!

[iizgunnagetcha]

Fuck Elphaba, you make me "melt" :)!

[MickeyT1129]

Really great voice but i agree. Wayyyyyyy too much riffing. It took away from the song a little and even Shoshana didn't do that much lol. But stiil nice voice :)

[MarcieDoddfanatic]

it was good but i felt it had too much Shoshana riffing like at 2:51..............that was a little ridiculous.......great voice though

[divanihsta]

@MarcieDoddfanatic um fuck you shoshana was def on the top 5 elphabas but he did over do the riffs a bit though which didnt always work

[divanihsta]

@divanihsta But is was really good and where did you get the karaoke version?

[andrewdancerTV]

@MarcieDoddfanatic I was always told if ya cant rift dont do it and if you can do it sometimes. . . rifs are for people who cant find there not or who want to add flare and he hit his note and it was perfect placement for it it (:

[525thousand600]

incredible voice!

[woodlandcreature22]

this is great! congrats!

[xjaykay]

Dang! You have one heck of a voice there. I'm glad to have stumbled onto this video, it really brightened up the day. Thanks for a great performance! :]

[GreenxwithEnvy]

u do not look sloppy dear.

even if you did, it wouldn't matter.

ur voice outshines anything else.

the end of this was very very good! You started out beautifully, but I was afraid of how it would sound coming from a man's vocal range, but it was beautiful and very strong. great job :)

u are a very talented man. I hope you plan to explore farther into performing, like Broadway maybe, or breaking into the music industry. I think you could do it.

<3 love

[TeenageTheatreTalk]

your one talented man
