"Defying Gravity" from Wicked karaoke/instrumental

[klynn267]

Aye! Don't use pieces like this as an audition piece!!! It's beautiful, it's fun to sing, but it's too fresh, and too secular. Singing very popular pieces like this is very dangerous, because instead of your judges/directors listening to YOU sing, they're comparing you to the greatness of Idina. There is a list of songs you should never do for an audition. Ladies, this is in the top ten. You want to stand out as "awesome," not as "great, but not as strong as the original." Stand out as original!

[1334soccerrocks]

@klynn267 i did this for an audition... i got a great for a freshman!!! i don't think what you is true all time...

[klynn267]

@1334soccerrocks I was talking about college auditions and auditions for professional theater troupes. Same with regional, state-wide, and national competitions. It can be done, but it's not always the wisest choice.

[DamnGleeks]

@brfurniss Good luck, I think that I might audition for avenue Q with this song too

[brfurniss]

I am singing this for an audition for Annie!! Wish me luck(:

[awesomebuggy97]

14 people are on the ground

[TophMulanRaven]

50 Likes and I'll sing this at school with a friend as G[a]linda. I dont really care, but people don't like me that much, 'cus I'm just being me. AKa, some weird, crazy chick. Dang proud too!

[TheRobotfishy1]

This is AMAZING!

[Bones97000]

Singing this when I audition for AGT :D Thanks for the upload!

[TheRobotfishy1]

One thing to say, AMAZING!

[TheGlitterAnimal]

Can someone please tell me exactly when she says "Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could do; together"? The lyrics right there are rushed on-screen so it's quite confusing :L

[MsBabyjune1]

5000 likes and I will sing this song for Americas got talent

[MsBabyjune1]

Sorry I meant to say keep practicing and you will get it

[MsSmithers13]

This isn't a belting song....don't even try to do that

[MsBabyjune1]

If you belt this perfectly it will sound amazing if you practice this you will get it very good

[TheYuriFreak]

Good God, I cannot sing this. My voice is so...weak!

[singercutie123]

I love singing this!

[N3RDYG0GGLES]

I scared my cat with my terrible singing XD oh deeeear, I need a stronger voice for this :(

[beccacecca94]

The beginning gives me nothing but CHIIIILLS:...

[pandaabanterx]

i think half of these views probably came from me...

[joelntylerbwayduets]

@mythking94

Find a vocal coach. Do shows. Sing all the time. Experience is what you need. Once you learn how to stay on pitch and control the tone of your voice it's smooth sailin' my friend.

[Mythking94]

I love this song, it and I'm Alive make me want to learn how to sing well. I am 17, male and have had no former training/interest in singing at all, is there a good way for me to learn?

[laceyflower]

I think everyone at boarding school is so sick of me belting this at the top of my lungs.. I'm gonna sing it again! :-)

[NYCprincess7]

@laceyflower YEAH!!! go get em,lol

[girlinabluehat]

@laceyflower my neighbors are like my fan club they hear me and my sisters singing every day lol

[salzer27]

I love it, even though i can't sing it. Not even close

[brfurniss]

this is the best out of the 300!!

[hawkeyesproductions5]

Kay... Who in the hell dislikes this?! It's friggin AMAZING!

[IamMoaningMyrtle]

@hawkeyesproductions5 The 14 people who disliked it were munchkins deluded to think that Elpheba was the baddy!

[chocopotX]

Can anybody tell me when the part starts of 'Unlimited, together we're unlimited'. On the second please =D

[gator78965822]

@chocopotX 3:07

[AllThatJazz93]

Omg tha was amazing x)

[LuciThePicChic]

am i the only one who is naturally able to hit and f??? this is spookin me out

[iMaxStephen]

@LuciThePicChic wow!! since u have NO videos, why don't you post a video of you doing it!! :D I would love to see ... come on <3

[LuciThePicChic]

@iMaxStephen deal let me buy a video camera, ill let u no when its up

[fihaprincess]

@LuciThePicChic actually no you're 100% not. Guess what i can hit a top G, care to commment? But i would NEVER say something like that to make the thousands of people who sing this song feel bad about themselves. I'm guessing you're probably alot worse than most of the people on here who say they're rubbish or about their family's hating it lol. (please excuse the spelling i wrote this as an angry rant so cba to check it.)

[me1emma1b]

I can sing everything except that high f on "look to the western sky" and the last "defying gravity"......I have to use my head voice for that :/ workin on it though....thanks for the version, love it it's great!

[TheChucckk]

i have the worst voice ever, yet i sing this sooo friking loud it pisses my whole family off =3

[cRazYhYPerPenGuin]

All my friends have practically memorized this from me singing it alllll the time.

[dizziedazzie97]

ok this song is the stuff!!...i saw the play "Broadway Style" n i sang every song through out the whole play!!....gosh seeing the Wicked live was great n i LOVE this song n from wat my friends n family have told me i can sing it too!!!hehehe o_O

[Iamjustherek]

My favorite part is when she does the yell at the end - "Ohh-whoooaaaa~" It's so much fun to sing!

[rubyparfittx]

[CrazedAuthor]

[terryandcarol1]

[LitleTitel2]

[callummm129]

[SaDiEPaTTinSoN]

I had the volume WAY up. I jumped so hard In the beging I literly fell out of my seat!!

[Therealmegan97]

@SaDiEPaTTinSoN As I was waiting for the video to load, i was reading your comment. And im like "yeah right." Then the video started.... i jumped so hard i literally fell out of my seat! :D

[MusicLoveTwilight]

@Therealmegan97 Same! I jumped too. XD

[DarkLover676]

@SaDiEPaTTinSoN Believe me, it's WAY louder when you watch it live.

[myhamsterable]

The bit that gets me stuck is the end, I really want to break into my chest voice but can't. I mean, it's there but it's really weak. More practice needed,

[iSingTunes]

I finally mustered up the courage to high the ending notes with my chest voice and nailed it!...now my ears are ringing lol

[TheKeksiify]

fuuuu, i don't get all the high notes, i have so low but kinda strong voice.

strong voice is good, but the low-thing sucks. -.-



[TinyWarrior1468]

Ironically, the super high notes in this song are the easiest ones for me. Go figure.

[tokyopanda13]

My throat hurts after singing this, lol. xD

[iSingTunes]

the part where she sings "bring me down" is hard. I need to practice that part. :)

[veurana]

I didn't fail a single note! :D

(My cast is not happy about that)

[helentheswimstar]

stephen schwartz SERIOUSLY needs to get his shit together and release the copyrights because i am dying to perform this for schoooooool

[MattyGTV]

@helentheswimstar YOu can do it if all the profits go to charity!

[helentheswimstar]

@MattyGTV yep okay then my school would be broke then hahhahahah

considering all the make up, the sets, the effects, etc.

[MattyGTV]

@helentheswimstar No.... you can keep the money to cover the costs but just the profits (eg extra money) goes to charity :)

[helentheswimstar]

@MattyGTV so then... if i wanted it, where would i get the script/music scores?

[milwanevidencee]

has anyone noticed the part beyond 5:40 is a reprise of No One Mourns The Wicked? so awesome.

[kchenobigestfan]

[plindiful]

@XxShinigamiLivixX dude no joke! especially the last "bring MEE down, AHHHHH" shit i'm blasting, i'll probably ruin my voice

[XxShinigamiLivixX]

@plindiful for me its "IM FLYING HIIIGH DEFYYYYYYYING GRAVITY" That kills me XD

[GlasgowMusicStudio]

This is the best backing track of Defying Gravity on youtube

[goldtwilightfan]

[SlytherinIsBest]

[jumbosyrup743]

[jhjw28]

I just belted the shit out of it... pretty sure my neighbours were out in their garden and heard me haha.

[Emurlyjayne]

omg same

[parisnpink23]

omg these are definitely amazing quality I love it! I just subscribed...I love the musical Bare: A Pop Opera and was wondering if you would mind putting something from that up :)

[FallenAngelZoee]

Love this song too, I've probably commented on loads of your vids now (sowwie bout that :P) absolutely LOVE Wicked, I also loved it when they sang this on Glee (I'm a total Gleek!) I was watchin the episode with my mates and I started singing it and they just gave me the weirdest look ever lol :P thanks for posting x

[lovemondaysss]

i sing this all the time...my family hates it. i'm a failure at singing but still do it!

[Gomezzio]

Same here!

[jacobsgymgirliee]

@pandabear1317 lol im sooo jealous ive been trying for forever to belt out those high notes.....i guess ill always be an alto(:

[pandabear1317]

i've been practicing this song for like......4months, and i think i FINALLY got all the notes perfected!!!! im hoping to do this song for the talent show. me singing, and her piano-ing. (we're doing the short version, only the elphaba part)

[pandabear1317]

i think i can kinda do the growl now (though not as good as kerry ellis)

[JonTheDude92]

I can sing this, lucky for me my range goes up to a tenor high G. :D

But yeah, brilliant song. Idina Menzel is absolutely amazing when she performs it.

[kmsprouductions12]

I can sing the whole song :)

[kmsprouductions12]

[skd162220]

this is my shower song!!

[laylamoocow]

[blondtornado1]

[chocolatemonkeys19]

ur not supposed to belt this all the way through though

[chocolatemonkeys19]

i am probably an alto and a little bit of soprano but i can't hit all of the notes belting

[skd162220]

i can belt it all the way through!!!! im singing this at a recital

[StaringBlanklyAhead]

mezzo soprano?

thats what i am :] and i can't belt this whole song either

[skd162220]

im sooso excited! i can hit all the notes!!!

[pokadot2100]

i can hit the "kiss me goodbye" notes but I JUST CAN NOT get the end!!! poo

[Xelphiel]

You can change the key as well if you're feeling uncomfortable

[pokadot2100]

i know i can change the key but really it's only good in one + its low the beginning

[SodorMR]

same here. but hey, practice makes perfect!

[TheMichaelWalter]

I can JUST do this song. And thats only because my voice hasn't fully cracked yet. Maybe when it does, i'll bring it down a key. Then put up a vid :P

<Wicked - Australian Cast3

[chocolatemonkeys19]

i can sing this when i go into my headvoice.

[SBQ904]

god, i just killed my voice singing this... yup i officially suck at singing this song :D this song absolutely rules, i listened to it 20 times straight the other day and i KID YOU NOT... thanx for the karaoke!!!

[xolilvannahxo]

you have to have good lungs for this song- if you can sing it than your a natural singer.

[xlarabearr]

whew! i can do this song.

[simpsonfreak16]

@xolilvannahxo thats true but at the same time....i can sing it all the way through and i smoke...and im a guy but i can change my voice and hit the notes...kinda a weird talent but w/e....thats why im goin for a musical theater major:)

[xolilvannahxo]

I sang this song at my talent show :)

[bewateverr]

omg!! Im outta breath

[Beth1997x]

soo HARD!

[cocobirdinc]

i love this song!!!!!!!!!!!1

[teenyrox89]

soo good :) has anyone ever looked at defying gravity sheet music? indina menzel dosent sing it like it's written!! but still, she's awesome!!!

[thegaythespian]

if you are refering to the Wicked Piano/Vocal book arrangement, that was rewritten from the show to make sense for a single person to perform w/o the dialogue

[Singer4Jesus]

There may be 300 others, but this is by far the best. Thanks! :)

[silenthillmaster755]

The only thing that would be better is if the Winkie gaurds where there in the end

[ButterxnxToastx]

thanks! this helps alot! :) my gospel choir will love it when they hear me sing it!

[Ryxachaz2613]

"Ahh!" at the end :D I love it!

[BlondeCurlsBlueEyes]

I just like listening to this for the music, it's really soothing :D

[JulianneSparrow2]

Beautiful! Your karaoke is much smoother than the track we used when a friend and I performed this song (her as Elphaba and myself as Galinda) for our annual Halloween show. I adore it! Your karaokes really are phenominal.

[laurasmiles]

Love you karaoke vids, brill!

There are a few Tick, Ticke, Boom songs that you should post: "Come to your senses" would be brill!

[musicalxloverx111]

wow you are AMAZING at making karaokes! thank you so much! =)

[WickedFreak10111]

Please Make ALL the songs I Love them!!

[zortech]

This is the karaoke version I have. I think it's one of the better, if not the best, of the available DG karaoke tracks.
