Each person whose played Elphaba brings their own personality to the song, Kerry obviously with the rock. I personally like the original better, more emotion in it I think.
Just listened to her rock version of "Defying Gravity" and was blown away. And she sounds damn good here, as well! Dunno how this escaped my radar for so long.
Personally I much prefer the original because I think Idina sings it with more meaning and to be honest i dont really think this is a song that could be turned into a rock song but still its quite a good cover...
Probably because she was the first Elphaba that I ever saw but I think she is THE BEST! Though someone who can sing like that doesn't have the right to be so beautiful. Gotta say though, she's definitely better live.
I'm pretty sure the original idea was to do a rocked up version of No Good Deed instead of this... Would have been interesting to hear but at the same No Good Deed is pretty operatic in it's style so it may not have translated well... Hmmmm
@anxiouslittlegirl I c y u think her voice is nasal. 4 some reason the songs from "Wicked in Rock" when listened to on utube the vocals sound weak & a bit nasal. If you buy the CD the vocals are beautifully rich. The mix on this song is not meant for lower end audio equipment e.g. computer speakers & the sound quality degrades on utube. Listen to some of her other work, u will b impressed. She has a better voice than Barbra Striesand or Idina Menzel. Kerry really does not sing through her nose.
Go on Queen's main website or Kerry Ellis' website and there are links to the purchase stuff from Queen - It is in there. You won't find it in Stores or on Amazon or, I don't think on any of the download stores either, although I could be wrong on that. I am pretty sure you have to buy an old fashioned actual CD from the Queen Store on the Queen website. If I am wrong on any of this, somebody please correct me so Blubberfreek can get the CD !
There's only one voice I will ever love more than Kerry's and that is Peter Johansson's. They are both so far beyond amazing there aren't words to describe it!
i like the original version better though thi is still pretty good. though EVRY wicked fan needs to have heard the defying gravity rock song fom this album its INCREDIBLE! obviously not good for stage performance but when ur sitting at home listening to music its awesome
for all kerry fans!! kerry has donated an original one off oil painting of herself as elpheba to raise money for the make a difference trust/theatremad. tickets are £5 and can be bought in person from dress circle shop in monmouth street london or can be bought online at the theatremad website. the competition closes on 29th june, so buy yoiur tickets and maybe if you win you can see your friends turn green with envy
i love kerry ellis--i was lucky enough to see her on broadway in NYC--she is really amazing. i try to sing some wicked songs on my page--check my videos out!!!
can somebody please send me this song? i have the ost but missed out on the special edition, and i cant buy the track seperately on amazon. i'd appreciate it!
aww i lovr this song imi singing this for chours along with all the other wicked songs and i get a solo in this song and popular and what is this feeling!
Normally I don't like it when artists mess around with Broadway, but Kerry...wow i love this version! She changed it just enough to make it her own, but not making me forget the original. Love the extra verse too.
I normaly don't like remixes of broadway songs but this I like, I'm not verry up to date with the actresses in Wicked so it this the most rencent one?
Absolutally fantastic! Fair enough they changed the lyrics, thus changing the meaning slightly, however they changed the genre of music, how many rock songs do yuo get where the said artist gives up on themselves? They fight for what they believe. This is no longer a song for a musical, but a rock song it is.
can someone give me the full lyrics for this song, i'm deaf and i need to read the lyrics of the song, to know what shes saying, cause its all gibberish to me..ive ready the lyrics but they dont match up, did she change something?
but it would be rly great if someone took the time to do it for me please..
Hands touch, eyes meet Sudden silence, sudden heat Hearts leap in a giddy whirl He could be that boy But I'm not that girl. Blithe smile, lithe limb She who's winsome, she wins him Gold hair with gentle curl That's the girl he chose And heaven knows I'm not that girl...Don't dream too far Don't lose sight of who you are Don't remember that rush of joy
hey am going to have to write a few messages sorry!!
I also think that changing the end of the song was a bad move. That's not the point. Yes, she wants to be that girl, but she doesn't have any hopes. If she didn't add that in, it'd be an awesome song, buuut...
