  • This song is amazing, Thumbs up so a real comment can get up the top

  • How bout we turn this song around? She may be that girl, but i'm not that boy...

  • I've been on Wicked songs all afternoon, and I keep clicking on this song again, and I zoom down to read the comments, and I've already read them all.... T.T

  • we have this thing in quire and we have sema and this girl maddie is doin this song and kylie is doin popular

  • @xoxomusick Um... quire? Do you mean choir? :/

  • For all of you people who'd think this play would be better as a movie your DEAD wrong imagine it not actually there seeing it rlly does that sound better than an EPICALITASTIC musical.

  • 6 people are not that girl.

  • Beautiful. In every note and word, Beautiful.

  • Probably my favourite song from a musical. Also know what it's like to feel that way.

  • This was my second time watching WICKED on broadway, my heart exploded to this song haha I cried 10x more.

  • im in love with glee. but i have been in love with this musical, and especially this song since I was 10 and I would pick this over glee without a second thought

  • I love this play. I saw Phantom Of the Opera a year before, and thought that there was no way anything could be better. i was soooooo wrong

  • Valentine's Day anthem, forever alone

  • @gr8tnesspersonified Well said...

  • Just saw wicked in Austin TX.... this musical was amazing! Best since Rent in my opinion

  • @bbcoachlara Did you see it last night? (Saturday Feb. 4th) Wasn't it incredible?

  • I just saw this musical for the first time ever last night. I was crying throughout this song. So beautiful. If you've never seen it live before, make sure you do, it will change your life.

  • @mollymac2013

    Absolutely 100% true. I spent $400 dollars on two tickets and it was worth every penny and I'd spend just as much to see it again... and I don't make a lot of money!

  • @mollymac2013 I saw this play live last summer...was absolutely amazing. I really want to go again....

  • Both top comments are against glee even though their gleeks. Irony

  • I'm thinking to maybe sing this for a college audition :)

  • I cry everytime i hear this song, it just relates the the specific sitituation im in so well..

  • I'm learning this on guitar. :)

    (Like because it's not about Glee)

  • @HummingBirdinAminor you just made it about glee

  • I can relate to this song soo much. It brings me to tears to think that I'm not that girl, while clearly he is that boy. And I'm sorry, but Glee has ruined to many of my favourite Broadway tunes by clearly turning a solo into a duet (Don't Cry For Me Argentina, listen to the real version) Next thing you know, there'll be a shoe about a highschool band.

  • @lololo1186 The same can go both ways, y'know...I'm a guy, and I feel this way about a girl.

    She is that girl....I'm not that guy.

  • @guitarbass22 I'm so sorry for you! Good luck on the 14th!

  • Dear god, this scene. I almost cried.

    I can relate so much, Elphie...

  • Stop whining about Glee. If you like that version, just listen it. If you don't like it, just listen to this one.

  • The current top comments are of people commenting how they don't want top comments about glee... Does anyone else see something strange with this picture?

  • It is sad that alot of the comments are about Glee :( You can't compare Glee to Broadway, they can't measure up.

  • I'm a Gleek that happens to be in love with Wicked... <3

  • This song always makes me sad in a happy kind of way. It makes me think of a less stressful time, in GCSE's, where a friend of a friend sang this for her preformance side of it. She made me fall in love with this play >.<

  • i'm doing the this for my solo vocal fest at school hopefully

  • @CrazyGummyGirl513 GOOD LUCK! :)

  • Once again, I was not referring to this song in general. I was just saying that these songs are not sung by glee. The song I was listening to was For Good. ok

  • I was not referring to this song in particular. I was referring in general to the comment about glee. Everyone assumes that this has to do with glee or their performances of these songs. I was just saying not everything has to do with glee.

  • Because of glee I got to know Wicked, I actually am thankful!

  • Just saw Wicked today in NYC for the first time, It was great! I wish it all didnt go by so fast!! Im addicted to all these songs now! and I just wanted to run on stage and give Elphaba a hug haha

  • @BornThisWayBabbyy i know! wouldnt it be awesome to meet idina menzel she is my hero. in one of her performances she had an asthma attack in the middle of defying gravity, and she kept singing ... it was amazing

  • @tamarajoy06 omg she did?? now thats a performer!!! When I saw it yesterday, JAckie Burns was Elphaba and she was incredible also!! I wish they made a new soundtrack with the versions of the new cast and the ones in the past that be great!

  • Cant Stop Listening!!!!! <3

  • I think we can all relate to this song

  • I love Glee but if we don't stop talking about it I might round house kick someone :P

  • Such a beautiful song!

  • I love this song! I love Glee, and no, Glee doesn't ruin every song. Actually, I've acquired some of my favorite songs, because Glee covered it. If you're burning Glee, mind as well burn every person who covers any song... Because that's what they're doing. Covering songs.

  • unlike OTHER commenters: just saw this is singapore, i cried when she sang this song

  • @OneMillionRadishes I saw this in Singapore too! It was amazing.

  • Tell me people, why do you even care to comment about Glee on this video? Those who are fans of Broadway musicals know very well where the real quality is and that Glee is a mere cheap show made to amuse masses who don't know any better. Broadway will always tell stories that are more in-depth and touching than any tv series could. On the other hand, there are a lot of people who get introduces to this wonderful world of musicals thanks to Glee. You don't have to answer me, just think bout it.

  • OMG shut up about Glee. This is wicked. D ' 8

  • Glee: People pretty much are hardcore fans, or hate it completely.

  • Glee ruins EVERY song it touches.

  • @PurpleOrangeCrown I am not a big glee fan or anything but some of their songs are pretty good. But i do agree with you that they did a terrible job on defying gravity, they took all the good parts out of it.

  • Glee is an amazing show, my fav. But, it has NO chance and will of being better than an original musical song. It introduced me to Wicked. Now Wicked is my life, my breath and my heartbeat. I flied to New York from Turkey, just to see the show. Each song recalls another memory of mine. There isn't a day in which I'm not singing Wicked. It's the best and always going to be.

  • it makes me sad that the top comments are about glee instead of wicked... and this is coming from someone absolutely in love with glee

  • Comment removed

  • @matthebat1234 I bet it makes Idina Menzel thrilled that the top comments are about Glee, because that means an entire new fan base is being reached and established, like I've said before, people really need to stop being so uppity about these things. It's getting old.

  • @matthebat1234

    I have to say, I do not like glee, so it bothers me deeply that the comments are about glee

  • I'm totally feeling like this today :(

  • I'm a gleek, but I think that people should stop saying that glee should cover this song.

  • @jk10111213 it's just a sign of affection for the song and the artists' rendition of it - we love it so much we want it to be part of the show we love...nothing wrong with that. People shouldn't be so uppity about these things - seriously.Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - I'm not even going to go all out and say I'm a gleek, but you'd think a gleek would get that concept...

  • @jk10111213 If they did, it would have to be under the condition that Idina herself does it.

  • This was always my favorite song from Wicked. I learned all the lines immediately. I stopped listening to the Wicked soundtrack for a reason I don't know, honestly. Distracted I guess? But here I am, revisiting it, all because what she is singing about just happened to me. It just sucks when THAT boy likes your best friend. Only thing is, I don't think the roles are going to end up reversed like Elphie and Galinda's were in the end...

  • @alissaa23 I know exactly what you mean. This songs helps, but it still stings

  • Preachin to the congregation elphi!

  • i cry every time i hear this song :'( <3

  • this song is one of the most beautiful songs which has ever been written... it's adorable. there are not many words, but you feel every emotion Elphaba is going through... unbelievable!! I love it...

  • umm glee has never done this song?...

  • OK I have never seen this Glee so I am not gonna say which is better. I will say that it is stupid to argue over which is better or not. It would be like saying that one tony winner is better than the other. It isn't true one just has a different version of how they see the song. As for glee I hate to say this to the ones who say that Glee shouldn't be around. The broadway station that I listen to and when they talk about glee, They are glad that Glee is around and they play music from glee

  • @maevenc there's a broadway station?!?!?!

  • this explains evry crush ive ever had.

  • It's so sad because I relly think that way :(

    I just know he doesn't love me

  • Can I point out to everyone fighting over the whole Glee/Wicked thing that Idina Menzel (the original Elphaba) is actually ON Glee now? Just wanted to point that out...

  • @hkitty1450 No I mean the real person's name. You know, like, In the wizards of waverly place, there's Alex Russo but in real life she's Selena Gomez. You get it?

  • @BBrawler101 Idina Mezel

  • @CuervoHeart701

    Okay, thanks. I really love the song its so awesome! The preformance at the play was so cool!

  • dontcha just love how you cant see the dislike bar thats because we are on elphabas side GREEN TEAM 4EVAR :D <3

  • So, we're not allowed to like Glee AND Wicked at the same time anymore? I'm a MASSIVE fan of both, and I think both versions of Defying Gravity and For Good are amazing. Of course, the original is better, but that doesn't mean that the other one has to suck. It can be good too. Anyone who says Glee ruins songs is being immature.

  • @juxmook i'm sorry, but no, you are NOT allowed to like the Glee version of this OR defying gravity. its just not possible to be a fan of this version and the glee one, they are too different

  • @frenchtehllama them being different is WHY they're both likeable. Stop being so closed-minded and telling people what they are and aren't allowed to like.

  • @MrsCullen881 i reserve my right to be correct

  • @frenchtehllama you can have your own opinion, but you can't tell people what they're not ALLOWED to like. You just sound like a dick.

  • @frenchtehllama idk what you said, but i like your style

  • @frenchtehllama I like them both, just like different songs...

  • who sung this in the play?

  • Comparing glee to Wicked is just the foolish thing coz the only thing that glee does is some tributes to the musical. Wich,should i say,are very touching and briliant.They got Lea Michele that's beyond words talented and that Chris Colfer guy who apparently is where he is because of Wicked.Resuming:They are both huge fans of this musical and never sounded to me that they ever tried to overcome in any ways,anything about Wicked.

    I ask apology ,i'm Brazilian and my english is not 100%. =)

  • Don't dream too far, don't lose sight of who you are. Don't remember that rush of joy... he could be that boy...

  • These lyrics, this music, it's all so stirring... it is amazing how they can epitomize these feelings. I never fail to ache when I listen to this song.

  • Glee has Kristin and Idina, so obviously it's pretty accepted by THEM that Glee is performing Wicked songs.

  • I've felt this feeling far too much. I still am. I'm the only girl out of all my friends without some sort of relation. It just..I really wish that I could find that "one".

  • @MiddleofNowhereGirl thats your problem, looking for that "one". because they will only come once you arent looking for them. Just let loose and have fun, and they'll find you eventually

  • I love this... it's like saying "I love him... but she's my best friend. I love her more." I know I'd do that for my friends.

  • glee cant do ANYTHING good. it sucks that they were allowed to cover wicked

  • I want to sing this song for extra credit in my chorus class. I'm scared though! I'll have to sing alone in front of 60 people! But I LOVE this song. It was the first song from Wicked that I memorized the lyrics too. Now I know most of the songs. :)

  • in my opinion..it doesnt matter if Glee does a cover or if anyone does a cover for any song...no matter what the original one is ALWAYS going to be better.

  • Everyones gotta stop hating on glee. OF COURSE Wickeds original version is going to be better, but glee did a great job as well!

  • i think glee could have done wicked better but they blew their own chance

  • Comment removed

  • Even though I think Glee shouldn't be discussed on Wicked, and only the sheer brilliance of Idina should be, Glee did a good job with Wicked, but its rarely ever as good as the original. After all, this IS Idina Menzel and she rocks. But still, Glee for the most part did a good job with this.

    And OMG I love this song <3

  • what the hell is everyone's problems with glee? if you don't like it, stop watching it.

  • @dhydhy9

    thats why we don't watch it. but people sing the glee versions and listen to them and it annoys me cuz they think that it's better than the original when they've never even heard the original. so that's why we (or at least me) have problems with Glee

  • @dhydhy9 It's not that XD They're not saying they hate it after watching it - no one's saying that. People are saying they're annoyed that some Glee fans think that either the cover is better, or that it's the original.

  • i think glee did a good job with WICKED!..It introduced me to WICKED now i'm in love with Wicked!.

  • Didn't Realize i said Wicked that many Times!..

  • I love musicals, Wicked is just so amazing :3

  • 6 people are not that girl

  • Stop complaining about glee, okay?

  • @TRIXHOMO we all know they suck, so why reiterate it, right?

  • <3 I love this song <3 even if makes me cry every time ;( <3

  • this song makes me cry everytime because it reminds me how lonely i am in this world and my bff ets all the boys :'(

  • @beatlesgurl23 I feel your pain.

  • is this idina or chenoweth then? some part it sounded like idina, some part like chenoweth..

  • @chunghon86 it's Idina!!

  • @chunghon86 idina x

  • @chunghon86 idina theres another part which is actually song by Chenoweth but thats the prelouge or something (can't remember the name haah xD) xx

  • @babygalil Kristen Chenoweth sings the reprise. 

  • i looovvee this song its so sad tho ;(

  • its not all blondes that get boys !

  • @samosa2003 what happens is that elphaba sings it first when he's in love with glinda. But then he falls for elphaba and glinda sings a reprise of the song.

  • im confused, ive seen a few west end versions and glinda sings this song, but ive also heard idina sing it, in the show who originally sings it?? makes sense for it to be elphaba

  • Top Commenter "SexyJerrod" seems to be forgetting "there's a boy I know, he loves him so, I'm not that boy," and "there's a girl I know, she loves her so, I'm not that girl." Those are as valid as boys wishing a girl loved them, and girls wishing a certain guy loved them too. Don't forget about them either.

  • @purpledishsoap yesssss.... Agreed! :)

  • I used to hate the wicked old witch until I heard this.

    NOW I hate Dorothy and the good witch of the north.

  • this song gives me goosebumps <3

  • "that's the girl he chose, and heaven knows, I'm not that girl" and "don't wish, don't start, wishing only wounds the heart" are the lyrics that make me tear up a little.

  • This song is quite honestly the story of my [love] life.

  • It's a pretty weird position for me too. OK so the boy was my best friend, but then this new girl came and now he slobbers all over her and I'm not sure he even likes me much now.

  • @Palls64 That happened to me. It's like that one saying. "Set it free and if it comes back to you then it's meant to be." And sometimes we are just better off trying to make oursleves happy and not depending on anyone else to make our happiness. It's always going to be hard, but it gets better.

  • @WTFdevBITme That's why I've decided to go single. Meh, it could be another boy! But I know something for sure. I may or may not turn out to be like Elphaba.

  • So true it is basically the story of me right now: best friends with the girl he is obsessed with al the time trying to tell him want my chance

  • I don't listen to this in public because I cry every time I hear it.

  • Love this song. Truly a beautiful song by a wonderful singer.

  • song of my life</3

  • this is like my life ugh i hate love

  • 6 people really aren't that girl..

  • I LOVED the musical!!!

  • @JuanitaLPerez

    Too bad x'D !

  • @JuanitaLPerez

    She's blonde in my case too D: !

  • exuse me while i freaking kill the 6 ppl who dont like this

  • "Don't wish, don't start. Wishing only wounds the heart." - How true that is however much we wish it wasn't, whether there's someone else involved or you know there's no chance between you for other reasons.

  • What I love about the song is that it doesnt have to be about like a realionship cuz I am loseing touch with my best freiend...she's just moveing on to other frans and it really hurts cuz i try all i can todo to stay close frans with her but as the songs say. I'm not that girl....

  • first love never dies, and that is so beautifully expressed in this piece. Its some one who should be angry, angry that she cant make some one love her that she has to make this choice for her friend. But she's not mad, the music does build up to reveal though that she is full of hurt wishing it wasnt true, but shes just happy that she is able to say goodbye in her own time. I could never be as brave as elphie, she has the wisdom of some one twice her age, its just a shame she didnt stay true.

  • OMG! why is it blondes? Why do they always get the guy? why can't it be non blondes? no offence to ppl who have blonde hair but its really getting on my nerves!

  • @Darkgirl1368

    Same with me and my guy! he's dating a blonde! Why can't the blondes leave them alone! No offense to blondes. My sister is actually a blonde.

  • @Darkgirl1368 hahaha i'm blonde but it's totally the opposite for me. the brunettes are getting them.

  • anyone else think that glee should have never touched Wicked?

  • @dailynnquinn

    I like glee, but i think wicked is something that only wicked can do

  • @SeahawkeyLove

    i agree! they shouldnt have touched it!

  • @dailynnquinn Glee shouldn't do a lot of songs, but it brings popularity to them, so ... as long as people come to the original, I don't care.

  • @dailynnquinn i would have never known wicked without glee. so no. not really.

  • @dailynnquinn I don't think glee should touch anything!

  • @issatidra26 This isn't from Glee. Kristen Chenowick sings this...

  • @tls42966 I thought Elphaba (Idina Menzel) sang this song?

  • @tls42966 it's actually Idina but Kirsten does a reprise of this song

  • @tls42966 Idina Menzel sings this

  • @dailynnquinn I DO!!

  • @dailynnquinn I don't really understand why people say things like that... I mean wicked doesn't get worse because glee did some covers of it? All glee did was introduce many to Wicked, which is awesome!

    Frankly, I don't think that anyone can pull off to be better on a cover, unless it's changed extremely.

  • @dailynnquinn thumbs up a MILLION TIMES!!!!!

  • I'm so excited I get to see Wicked for my birthday this October!!

  • @chemical2romance ull luv it i saw it last week i luved it

  • this is my life in a song. all the guys i've ever loved, i always thought they felt the same and be tht boy but they always turn around to be with a Glinda. Someone's better than me and i could never win...

  • GOD! I REALLY WANT TO SEE THIS LIVE!!!!

  • @Unknowntruth84 You should! It's realllllllly good!!!

  • @SydneySuzanne13 I freaking bet! OMG! Why can't I go! :)
