Defying Gravity - Single From Idina Menzel!

[Kittamaru]

I like her "So if you care to find me ... look to the western sky" better in the Broadway number... she seemed to have so much more power to her voice then...

[divine4you]

Amen to that!

[instantk4rma]

Idina Menzel is pretty much the greatest thing to have happened to Broadway and music in general ^_^

[singsingsing22]

love this version!!!!! better than kerrys.. this is the best...i love u so much idina!!!

[wickedfan888]

this is shocking.

[aerosnowu2]

I'm probably not the first to say this, but why did they record this underwater?

[mkjrhodes]

what when?

[WickedTheMusicalxx]

One word-AMAZING!!!! x

[shiningstar7002]

i love this version! it's awesome! love ya idina!

[peacelove96]

I LOVE IT!

i dont like the song lol

[confusedasalways75]

Why Does It Matter Who Sings It?

It's "Elphaba's" Song

Just Appreciate It

[xxblacknailpolish14]

extremely

[AirbenderSora]

Eh, I like the Rock version better, but nothing beats Idina's original.

[haynesy2008]

I love this version, Kerry's one AND the origional!

[yourmummaisafukinemo]

wtf y is that ugly talentless slag green, she shud see a doctor and sort out her shit voice

[funnyshow90]

wtf?!

She's amazing you jerkoff

[operastar1994]

well i like kerrys version better i think idina its not one of the best elphies ever i think Kerry steph and shoshana are the best elphies ever rock and i hate it when people sometimes when she wasnt good some nights they always used say she sick on that night when she was perfectly fine she looked fine abd sounded fine but i stil dont think idina is the best elphie but she is still good but not the best elphaba sorry thats my opione and other elphabas are alot stronger at singing and acting.

[omgottasee]

i love this version! actually i hate Kerry's version of DG i mean Defying Gravity in rock? is stupid! does not even fit that style, the lyris everything agg! Idina all the wayy!!

[musicalcat25]

I like it but I like it with kristina better. the clearity on myspace sucks so it always pauses on my computer.

[danefritz2006]

i love how she made it kind of poppy like pop music ya know

[Misswiicked]

I miss Idina Menzel. XXX

[AaronArthurBaker]

Oooh! This is HER song!! She does it in the most beautiful way!!

[KerryEllisFan]

hmm having heard it all now I Think I prefer Kerry's version BUT I STILL LOVE IDINA TOO before some one starts bashing me but Kerry's version is way better and Kerry has the power in her voice for the high notes

[KerryEllisFan]

Hmm its Good But Kerry Ellis's version is better its rockier BUT IDINA's is good too

[musicalchix]

I like how they made her voice sound so cool :)

[xNickyBx1992]

Really makes you feel like you can do anything, this song.. I love it

[pushpushingmeaway]

it seems like Idina like remixes doesn't it lol

I like the original better, but this one is nice too. probably because I listen to the original one 10 times a day lol

[11223344princess]

ur an amzing singer

[JennaLovesVitas]

Wow.

I really like this version.

[emsatl74]

I love this version. It is different, but still really inspiring.

[sarapumpkinpie]

Im iffy on this version. Of course she sounds nice I just dont know if I like the song modernized. Idk. Its kinda cool but the original is better.

[firefaeries]

I dont like this version =(

[kasumi421]

This song always picks me up on a bad day.

[13Elphaba13]

Yeah I know me too!! Seriously this entire story picks me up on a bad day.

[coconuttygurl34]

ya its like, ur so sad then u hear the song and ur like, "Screw this crap, it doesnt matter!" and ur happy! :))))

[13Elphaba13]

I totally agree with you. DEFYING GRAVITY is a great song for me emotionally, lol.

[ElphabaRentHead]

I love this woman

[wattsatllan18]

why?

[ElphabaRentHead]

Coz she's amazing. Great voice, lovely personality, awesome actress, really inspirational, not afraid to be herself etc etc

[wattsatllan18]

her voice is not the best because live she gasps alot and so has alot of actesses are a awesome actress, really inspirational, not afraid to be them selfs

[ElphabaRentHead]

so what?

[wattsatllan18]

why does she stand out to you? or is it the characters she plays?

[ElphabaRentHead]

the characters do stand out - they aren't afraid to be themselves, they dont care what people think, and because she plays them i assume she agrees with them. And i dnt really know why, but her as a person does stand out to me as well. Its just one of those things u cant explain lol, why are u so interested?

[wattsatllan18]

iam not its just i dont understand people who like the actors because we all know its the characters they like?

[wattsatllan18]

and your a good singer

[ElphabaRentHead]

haha fair enough, thanks lol

[slater014]

I LOVE THIS VERSION, her voice is so like an angel and so sweet she is the best singer ever!!

[edward1draco77]

I love this sooo much! I have never seen Wicked on broadway but I want to SOO badly! I loved her in Enchanted though, so when I saw this I was "OMGZ I LOVE HER! *freaks out*"

This song is amazing and I listen to it a minimum 90 billion times a day.

<3

[sugar4585]

she's really good, but I prefer when she does it with Kristin. It's better in the musical. she and Kristin are definitely the best Glinda and elphaba to have lived.

[spongebobshizzle]

I so agree with you, Idina and Kristin sing Defying Gravity better than anyone else has, in my opinion

[laurahagen0422]

I agree with both of you.

But this song is still good. :D

[13Elphaba13]

This is so amazing!!

[Aquamarineheart]

Where can I find this song? ;) :)

[lxcie]

love ittt

[valentinecerberus]

i love this song

[Offatacanter]

You can buy the book of sheet music.

[gatita0281]

I like the slides, but the music is tinny....you need to get a better quality audio clip to make it great, but nice photo montage!

[ephimer]

oh mY god!! where the fuck is WICKED???

[krissy87leigh]

its awsome more relaxed then on a stage but still great

[AaronArthurBaker]

I like this version. Sure it's not as energized as the stage version, but it's still beautiful.

[Elektrolyse]

the beginning is very boring but in the end its soooo amazing loved that

[katiejansor]

AWESOME SONG....why do you keep zooming in on all the pictures? Do you have any other effects?

[oliverjdbelfield]

its probably that ken burns effect you get. i get it on my mac, and its a real pain to turn off sometimes.

[savvyspirals]

This version is terrible. Idina is perfection.

[Lorelia133]

cool version! and amazing pictures!! 1:38 and 1:42 are awesome! were did u get them???

[freakybuzz]

Wow. That was.... really awful.

Idina is amazing, don't get me wrong, but...

Its a great song ruined by a TERRIBLE Corporate Pop/Adult Contemporary arrangement. No drive, no punch, no "WOW" factor. It's a soulless, top-40 "Radio Friendly" version completely lacking the musical intensity and emotional pathos which made the Broadway version such a show stopper. The Cast Recording is far and away superior to this milquetoast version.

Idina, you're a star! You deserve better than this!

[lyricaldancer27]

i love this version!!!!

[charmed1115]

i like this and kerry ellis version Idina and Kerry are my favorite =)

[angelpuppy43]

wow~ this is sooooooo different but it's still very good

[CVcatgirlCA]

SHE IS SO GOOD!!!

OM FREAKING G!!

I love this version. She has such a pretty voice...

[isabellacinderella]

Kerry Ellis wicked in rock is better =) have to admit... but i love this too

[mad0902]

i love the pic at 1:44 its awesome

[gogorert]

fan bo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sparklingdiva16]

I now love this song. Idina is really good.I have never seen the musical but i know love this song.

[gbrangl7]

shes also xtremely talented!! shes an amazing singer and actress and shes xtremely down to earth and gets a bunch of things most hollywood stars dont cuz she had to work for her career and when thro some tough times and people didnt noe who she was until she was about 23...srry for the rant but she is just an amazing person!!<3

[LjepaHrvatica]

This totally brings me back to the concert.<33

AH.

*GOOSEBUMPS*

She's absolutely amazing.

[mad0902]

This video is so amazing I love the song and i love how she sings it in this video....the pics are amazing!!!! Great job on it....added to favs

[jackchristierules]

this is well good but i prefer Kerry Ellis's version by far, ITS AMAZING!!!!!

[mirre1997]

I've been on: Wicked - The musical in london. IT WAS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!

[mad0902]

Oh my Word this song is so amazing i love it soo much!!! She has such an amazing voice! I have goosebumps!!!! I love the photos, wicked is so great! LOVED IT!

[Broadwaystar211]

I luv this song!! I love the Broadway version and this version. They both rox my sox!!! ^-^

[AaronArthurBaker]

Gosh I luv her! She is so inspiring!

[HinataanNaruto]

I agree that the Stage version is more powerful but this version is very pretty too.

[bllchick2]

i liked how she sang it in wicked more but this is still a very good video, good job =]

[dirtydancer10]

not as powerful as in wicked not sure i like it

[disneydudette]

It's good... Nice pic's... but to fast against the Stage version... i like it, but do more prefer the real Wicked version... BUT IDINA RULES!!

[momoyukoyuko]

i know i hear her be for that is the girl from rent da i am mad dum lol

[Yecats17]

I don't really like this version...its not as emotional/powerfull.

[Wicked629]

Love the pics at 1:15 1:44 and 3:24

this is a great video

I LOVE IDINA MENZEL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xsteedox]

she is sooo amazing :D

[Lorelia133]

She is so beautiful such a great singer and a spectacular actress too! the best elphie ever!!!

[uffm]

god...i love Idina!!!

[KnxOo]

the other version is better :D

but idnina manzel is amazing :)

[isabellacinderella]

Kerry Ellis' version is great as well as this!!!!!! check it out!!!!!!

[krissykinss]

This is a nice version, and if I'd never heard hersing the broadway version I'd love it. But it just lacks that knock-you-dead, spectacular magic that she brings out in the grander stage version. I'm afraid this version seems lackluster in comparison.

[Lorelia133]

1:47 is an amazing pic

[tallar76]

I LOVE THIS! i love how she put a little bit of the wizard and i in the mix too! it brings the character of elphaba full circle!!

[scott6791]

the talent this girl has!! blimey its amazing

[mykat2]

wow that was cool. amazing how well it works as a pop song!!

[Stephtrd21]

i love her! RENT and Wicked?! Talented! amazing!

[iloveyou0000]

ummm it sounds like that because it's on the internet and the white noise and stuff on youtube it has nothing to do with the actual song. DUH.

[positivelyemerald101]

lol u've got a point It's sounds like it was recorded instead of burned but who cares, it's still great!

[strawberriez12]

indina menzel is the best in the world!! she is the queen in broadway!! her and kristin chenoweth are very good. no tey are not good they are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G AMAZING!!

[RentandWicked]

i love this version! #4 on the hot 100 dance chart(i think) i love the Broadway version too. i like this because its different sound and if i want a more laidback version this is it! but gotta love musical version aswell

[sandiefurr]

MUCH better on stage...

[agentcoolblue92]

you have a right to your opinion but i think idina menzel is better

[The1andonlyHazz]

this recording is as a song..

when in wicked idina performs it as ELPHABA..

her shes idina menzel singing DEFYING gravity..

get you rfacts right

ooh

LOVE KERRY WICKED IN ROCK!!

yeah maytee;)

[rsvp300]

hmm... It's interesting hearing this song in this way... but I like it. Nice slide-show too! =D

[liliekinz]

i LOVE this version of the song. i like the broadway version too. i cant really decide which version i like better. but, anyways, I LOVE IDINA

[kingathon]

I totally agree-Kerry is incredible-this recording has no emotion or oomph!

[PLONKzz]

i agree!! kerry is the best and this is edited coz its a cd! but gd version tho! gd luck 2 her!

[HayleyDawnluvsyhuu2x]

YER

[pinkrose416]

no wayyy Idina is the queen of broadway

(okay mayb not just her there's also kristin chenoweth and laura bell bundy)

but idina is super good and she's a powerhouse of vocals

[disneyqueen001]

reli gud but i dunt fink its beta van v brodway vershun cuz iv been 2 c that in london but vat woz with kerry ellis so! 2 be onest i dint think she is as gud as kerr ellis in london!!! whoo go Kerr :-]

[musicluver220]

I looovvvvee what idina did with this song!!! you did a great job!

[jrockergirl15]

This is her interpretation of Defying Gravity. She's not singing as Elphaba, she's singing as Idina. I think this version fits her much better than the Broadway version.

[SarahDe93]

ehh.... i love this song to death, but the pop version is not for me.

[Butleritized]

I love the picture at 1:14 so cute!

[mysticalight8222]

I think what some people mean is that her voice is too broadway for regular songs? I totally disagree though

[meganmansfield668]

can u send me the mp3 to this plz??

xxxxxx

[sethywethy123]

....This is Idina Menzel singing....

[EHart47]

wow, that was not what I was expecting. That said....I totally loved it! The original will always be the best but anything Idina does is amazing,no matter what she does with it.

Thank you for posting this!!

[lilmizzelphaba1888]

idina menzel rockzz no matter wot anyone else says she is the onli elphaba for me if she wasn't good she wouldn't have won the tony for wicked so the ppl who say idina is not a good singer and whatever they are just being stupid

[sngr2012]

ooh, i really like this version, but it's nothing to the original one. Oh my god i love idina, she is so my hero! I saw the show on broadway almost a year ago and i've been in love with it ever since!

[lublyannaline]

I love this version.

[EmoPrinsess12]

she is ausome! Love ya Idina

[stupidalienfood]

ashlyemaster when did u see wicked i want to see itsoooooooo bad!

[ashlyemaster]

this is was great i went to see wicked and i thought it was great

[zillious06]

and btw u did a very nice job w/ the slideshow! :D

[zillious06]

is this a different version of the song? i like it! :)

[wickedfreak2]

yeah i have seen it a couple times i am gonna start watching it a lot more though!!! haha i got introduced to wicked by my best freind who went and saw it and she said it was absolutly amazing and we sang for good in my choir this year and i cried becuz my best freind was graduating and it reminded me so much of her and of course she sang Kristen's part! she WAS AMAZING!!!!

[wickedfreak2]

yeah i really like kristen Chenoweth though to those to i have to say r the best people to be in this musical...they both did the awesomest job ever! i really hope someday i get to meet one of them or see them in something like this again!

[wickedfreak2]

lol i agree i love her she is my idol and i wish i could have seen wicked when she was there

[ROCKINGJAGUAR]

Yeah... it sounds christian!! Cool!! lol

[charmed1115]

sounds christian kinda lol

[dancingqueen267]

Idina is Such a great role model to us singer wannabes and if you think your a singer put your video of you singing on youtube and ill judge it!!!

[gionpaul]

What a beautiful Witch.....:-}

[dancingqueen267]

I LOVE IDINA

[dudem19]

She removed my favorite part of that song. "And nobody in all of oz no wizard that there is or was is ever gonna bring me down!"

Those lines sound so powerful and amazing.

[IdinaMKristinCFAN]

I love Idina!!! :)

[singsingsing22]

this version is awesome!!!

[stupidalienfood]

idina menzel is SO AWESOME! SHE ROCKS! SHE IS BEST IN WICKED! ALSO "I STAND" IS ALSO SWEET!

[wiggytiggykl]

[lilmizzelphaba1888]

idina is absaloutly beautiful even wen she is green:Dxx

[singwhilstno1listens]

i absolutely love this version!!

ive always been in love wif wicked

his jus proves y!!!!

love you idina!!

xxxxxxxx

[RogueSlayer]

I like the Broadway version better but this ones good too. I like that she's trying something different and I'm going to have to go out and get her album cause she rules. XD

[riodejanero91]

where can i get this track in the United Kingdom?

[thewizardofOz2]

There is just one word that describes this song.

Awseme!

[CrazyTuber13]

Idina looks like an ANGEL! every picture was amazing and she rules this song no matter what version

[thewrongdirection]

exactly

she's perfect

I envy her very much

[omlee26]

this song is amazing but still nothing beats broadway! Idina's amazing!

[LadyVader33]

This song is TOTALLY my anthem!

[mistycalpunk]

i love listening to this song all the time

lol!!!

its so koo!!!!

[fpfutbolgal]

i like this version it's a nice change

[xxamyxxlittlexx]

me too. Especially if Idina was performing.

[MeganHT]

Amen to both of you. <3

[batgirlnicole]

i love this VERSION!!! &hearts;

[LeSingeRose]

Did you know that they blast this song in most theaters before the movie starts in Alaska? They've been doing it for quite some time now. It's how I discovered Wicked

[xxamyxxlittlexx]

Wow really?! that's boss!!!

[affectivity]

Not my favorite recording of hers. It's too mellow, given the words she's singing. "Defying Gravity" should show at least a *little* passion.

The Idina song I really like is "Gorgeous."

Great song, and she sings it so well.

[LadyAyla1]

were doing this version for choir.

[broadwaybabay11]

I love this song, I love Idina Menzel, enough said :-)

[liuxgrace]

she's so pretty! :)

[franklinwdixion]

see mine i have a video response

[kweet13]

This remix is sooo much better than the other one. wat evr.  nobody will ever bring as much to the character elphaba as idina did. no one can compare its that simple. LUV U IDINA!!!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[dkphoenixfever]

J'aime bien!! c'est magnifique!! (je suis francais)

[scottie0625]

am i the only person who doesnt like this?...it totally ruins the power of DG. this just sounds like any other teenage girl song...very boring.

[Wickedfan112]

like a remix
