her dynamics in crescendo and voice is the best, i heard her in singapore and i heard other elphaba on utube but i still find her best to my preference :)
Jemma is so freaking amazing. Ugh. But I love Idina as well. Obviously Jemma's voice is better(JUST LISTEN TO IT.) But Idina's personality is just so laocvfhap;'k/lmfv. Just love them both.
I'm limited...just look at me I'm limited. yes this exactly how i feel whenever Jemma opens her mouth to sing. her voice is truly unparalleled. love her!!!
I love this song so much ever since I saw the show at Perth last August, Jemma is amazing and her voice chills me (in a good way!) ....plus me and I share the same name :D
I met Jemma when Wicked was still in Melbourne, not only does she have a fabulous voice, but she is so down-to-earth. Oh how I love her!!! Amazing person totaled up!
Jemma is amazing.... Got the broadway cd but I just can't listen to it because Idina is just not as good as Jemma is!!! SHE'S AMAZING =D..... WICKED HAS TO COME BACK TO PERTH OR JUST AUSSIE =D!!!!
Jemma's amazing. Watched the Perth show last night. Stunner! I, too, liked her singing more than Idina's. Hers is so smooth and emotional! Idina's good also but...Jemma would win in a sing-off ;)
@xxCatxx83 You should see her now! She's like a fine wine, only gotten better with time... (second thoughts, that analogy is a bit creepy :P ). Particularly now that she's got lead.
She OWNS the role now, she's added in her own special riffs. Absolutley amazing <3
she is the clearest elphaba ive ever heard. this song sits PERFECTLY in her. and slight change of power in her voice in the 'bring me down's ... utter amazement! x
i saw jemma in wicked in adelaide the other night and she was unbelievable. i actually haven't been able to listen to the broadway recording with idina since then, it's just not as good. jemma is amazing <3
She has a pretty voice, and sings the song well. But she sings it so sweetly. Idina sings it like her heart is breaking. This version cant compare with that.
@serafimjones You can't compare Jemma singing it to an audience, pretty much out of character, to when Idina is Elphaba on stage. Having seen Wicked three times, every time with Jemma as Elphaba, I can say she sings Defying Gravity beautifully and heartbreaking. I had chills, and tears in my eyes every time.
@omglolwhatever I've noticed that too. I find it almost uncomfortable to watch Idina sing live because it seems so unnatural for her to reach those high notes D: and like it's hurting her. Not pleasant. It should be effortless.
I want a recording of the soundtrack featuring Jemma Rix and Lucy Durak ... On the official CD the lead's have very poor voices for such a great show.
I want a recording of the soundtrack featuring Jemma Rix and Lucy Durak ... On the official CD the lead's have very poor voices for such a great show.
Jemma is absolutely amazing. Saw her in the recent Brisbane show where she played Elphaba. The end of defying gravity got an easy standing ovation. She's brilliant. Whilst I personally think Idina Menzel is the best Elphaba in terms of acting, and the chemistry she shared with Kristin Chenoweth when they were Elphaba/Glinda together, I think Jemma is a much better vocalist than Idina. <3 you Jemma - I'm dropping Med at Uni to do Performing Arts because of you ;)
@spanishss I completely disagree... if her technique was perfect her voice would not have worsened throughout her run as Elphaba, Jemma has only gotten better throughout her run.
I showed this clip to my partner tonight and we are still getting our jaws off the floor. Phenomenal is the word I would describe this talented young lady. Broadway material and TONY award winning YES! After meeting Ms Rix I have decided she is the most down to earth person in the entertainment industry I've EVER met. She even signed a photograph for my birthday that was taken of the first time I saw Wicked and it still takes pride of place on my mantel...Can't wait to see her again in Brisbane!
She has without a doubt an amazing voice. I get goosebumps when she hits those high notes. I had the priviledge of seeing her in wicked and although she sounds amazing in this vid, it does her voice no justice. jemma completely blew me away in her performance. She is breathtaking live and I cannot fault her voice. Definately true nobody else comes close to her...
@BlazedHearts I've worked it out, you don't live anywhere near London do you ? I don't normally discuss things like this on YouTube comments but you use of the word 'hate' needed addressing on these comments. It's your right to have an opinion but I would urge others who read this to disregard a personal opinion carrying such a negative message towards an outstanding actress and singer like Rachel Tucker :)
@Rich3119 No, no I don't (which is why I'd never see her live, I simply cant afford to go to London just to see Wicked, lol).
And hate is thrown around a lot more casually nowadays, youre making me sound like some notorious villian. It's not like I'm going "I HATE YOU, STAY OUT OF MY LIFE FOREVER", I just meant hate as in stronger than dislike.
Also, lets stay on topic. This is a Jemma video and if you want to praise Rachel T, then by all means go and praise her on some videos oriented around her own performances.
@ BlazedHearts ... You Tube is great , don't misunderstand me regarding that, and so is Rachel Tucker, so as I say, see her live then come back and post.
@BlazedHearts Well hate is a strong word and you can never tell from videos anyway. You tube live videos are for nostalgia and nothing more really. Go see her live if you are a true Wicked fan, you will retract your comment. I don't 'hate' any Elphaba's but as I said we all have our favourites.
Everyone has their favourites but in my opinion the best 3 are Idina, Kerry Ellis and Rachel Tucker. If you are in London and a Wicked fan you must see Rachel Tucker she was born to play this role, go see her and you'll understand :)
I do miss Kerry Ellis though as her acting and the growl were so amazing :) but Rachel is as good if not better - anyone else seen her ?
@Thriller0404 you must actually be the stupidest, most tone-deaf person to walk the earth! Indina's voice is nice and all but it doesn't have the mellifluous tone that Jemma's has, and where is Indina's interpretation in this song? That's right, there's barely any, she sings straight off the sheet music. So don't go on about the mental health of people who can actually tell the difference between singing (Indina) and SINGING (obvi Jemma), becuase it makes your unintelligence really apparent.
Solid voice, only, I don't hear the vibrato on the end of the power notes.!!! What's that? That's where the tension should release and you get that overwhelming feeling....other that that, this girl is amazing!
Shoshana Bean did it all the time... This chick pretty much copied her riffs to the T, or the "FY" lol... Hate to break it to ya... Even when Sho wasn't feeling great she still went for it every time... Don't get me wrong... this girl works it out too... But is paying Ms. Bean a great compliment!!
I loved this girl when I saw here in those crappy disney things in Japan. She was SUCH a power house. I am sooo happy someone discovered her.. her power.. my lord. She is truly gifted, she needs to come to the USA right now!!! She was meant for Elphaba,
Jemma NAILED this. AMAZING!!!!! I was waiting for the end and I waved my fists in the air bc she was right on the note. Outstanding. As a singer I know how hard this song is to sing. Dare I say, Idina Menzel is shakey at times. This was strong and confident. Well done - Adriano :))
When I first saw Wicked we had Jemma that night, I turned to my partner and said "holy shit, she is the standby !! how good must amanda be" We never gott to see Amanda as Elphie. We were lucky to get Jemma twice. Got chills everytime she sung.
@cooma73 im glad im not the only one that gets chills and goosebumps everytime she sings! she has the most amazing voice i have ever heard and most likely ever will hear!
She has such a sweet voice, i love her. She's so nice too. I met her at the stage door a few days ago and she jsut stood there for ages answering questions from my mum and I!!
She's is the only one to play Elphaba. Why the F**k is she the standby. Amanda Harrison is shit compared to Jemma. I would be worried if I was Amanda. This is the directors biggest mistake.
@MultiClams I hope you realize what you just said. Amanda Harrison is gorgeous and has a beautiful voice and anyway she quit almost a month ago. How could you say something like that. I hope to god Amanda doesn't see that comment because she would be very upset if she does and don't forget that Wicked is the worlds most successful show and you could get in deep shit for that comment.
she is only one in all of these defying gravity videos that ive seen on youtube that actually does the high note in the second "down" at the end that they were talking about in glee she is incredible
her dynamics in crescendo and voice is the best, i heard her in singapore and i heard other elphaba on utube but i still find her best to my preference :)

This woman should be defying gravity at the Gershwin theatre on Broadway! She's a total powerhouse and the backbone of the Australian production!

I loved this girl when I saw here in those crappy disney things in Japan. She was SUCH a power house. I am sooo happy someone discovered her.. her power.. my lord. She is truly gifted, she needs to come to the USA right now!!! She was meant for Elphaba,

Jemma NAILED this. AMAZING!!!!! I was waiting for the end and I waved my fists in the air bc she was right on the note. Outstanding. As a singer I know how hard this song is to sing. Dare I say, Idina Menzel is shakey at times. This was strong and confident. Well done - Adriano :))

When I first saw Wicked we had Jemma that night, I turned to my partner and said "holy shit, she is the standby !! how good must amanda be" We never gott to see Amanda as Elphie. We were lucky to get Jemma twice. Got chills everytime she sung.

As much as I love Amanda Harrison I have to admit that Jemma rix is my all time favourite Elphaba.

She's great! I just wish the vocal track was higher. It's a lot of orchestra and can't hear her really. But that's not the her or your fault.

She's is the only one to play Elphaba. Why the F**k is she the standby. Amanda Harrison is shit compared to Jemma. I would be worried if I was Amanda. This is the directors biggest mistake.

@MultiClams I hope you realize what you just said. Amanda Harrison is gorgeous and has a beautiful voice and anyway she quit almost a month ago. How could you say something like that. I hope to god Amanda doesn't see that comment because she would be very upset if she does and don't forget that Wicked is the worlds most successful show and you could get in deep shit for that comment.
