Rachel Tucker - Defying Gravity

[sweetkazu]

have just seen it a week ago in london. i absolutely loved it and wish i could go again. BRILLIANT WORK :) <3

[kikodawgz]

Rachel quite simply dusts Idina in this song. Her power is incredible. I talked with her after the show about Idina's legacy and she said before she started on this show she was trying to go see Idina in New York and couldn't make it and was sad... and I really had to hold myself back from blurting "you're better than Idina" .... and I keep listening to Rachel here on YouTube and there's no question in my mind anymore that she is superior

[unshallowifyable]

@kikodawgz you gotta love Idina, though. Rachel may be awesome, but so's Idina. Just slightly differently awesome.

Every Wicked fan has a special fondness for Idina.

Rachel AND Idina <3

[kikodawgz]

@unshallowifyable okay okay fine fine fine... you're right... bah ;P

[Rhiaanon]

I Saw Wicked in October with my dad. and it was AMAZING ! I think I almost cried when Rachel sang this and then when I heard that she was from Ireland, I think I screamed :P Sad right ? haha

[Frankiesweet1656]

I saw Wicked and thought it was Brilliant i really want to see it again. Rachel is a brilliant singer and actress and she is so pretty with and without the green make up. I loved it

[donkey161996]

[alonelylittlefairy]

[greattvshows452]

[pianoplayer0016]

That just sent shivers down my spine .... the best musical to hit the west end / broadway ... Stephen Schwartz has done an amazing job, I haven't seen a bad performance of it yet and i've seen everycast there has been in London .. <3 wicked .!!!!

[ali93xx]

this is AMAZING live.. saw it back in june, and i was completely blown away! actually left stunned when the curtin went down for the interval

[Bullock1992]

@LsLxx They're the best cast London has seen so far!!! :D x

[XelliierocksX]

AMAZING!!! i saw Wicked at the apollo victoria yesturday!!!!! completely mesmering!!! :) xx

[SweetOZland]

Abso-bloody-lutely amazing!! That growl on the last oh-oh-oh-oh. WOW!

[BlazedHearts]

I dont like how the english emphasise the "ty" in "gravity".

I mean, she's wonderful, but that has always irked me a little.

[BOWYERD999555]

@BlazedHearts That's because it's a song from a musical not a pop song :)

[BlazedHearts]

@BOWYERD999555 That doesnt really have anything to do with it being a pop song or not..

It's just the english accent and how they have more pronouneced "t's".

[lovelaugh408]

@BlazedHearts Rachel Tucker is actually Irish. So she is actually putting on a British accent. But we do kind of have more pronounced T's. But it depends on where you're from.

[BlazedHearts]

@lovelaugh408 I guess you're right.

Like my friend explained (she's from New Zealand, but does an uncanny English accent), there is "royal english", "regular english" and then "dirty english".

[lovelaugh408]

@BlazedHearts lol I like the dirty english! haha

[BlazedHearts]

@lovelaugh408 Yeah, I laughed hard when she listed the examples.

Royal, she said "may you pass me a spoon darling?"

Regular was just normal chat.

Dirty was something like "oi you, i want some bloody tea ya poof". xD

[BrightEyesHONOUR]

I went to see a show with her Yesterday :D Epic, first time seeing Wicked in person despite having all the merchandise + Soundtrack, I AM SO HAPPY :D

[10Glenny]

So much emotion s AMAZING JUST BREATHTAKING the last notes are icredible the power is like WOW she is cleraly now on par with kerry i knew she would prve herself so well the emotion just spiils out in bucketloads like seriously woo she is so beleivable as always LONDON WICKED IS THE BEST

[cundell100]

that 'flying high - deFYing gravity' was sweeeeet. that little breathe worked so well and gave her more power!

[pilchard96]

she has changed it when she casts the spell, she sings it now. 2 things, i dont like the first meee riff, and the way she breathes before never bring us..... down. but still...

[AoWEcho]

I actually was speechless during the whole song.

[KerryEllisFannn]

This is so powerful!

[s0undstrulycrazy]

She's a beast! Extremely powerful during this part! I do miss the growled "its me!"

[80sgirl2010]

To those who ground me was awesome too! The first bring me down is filled with

so much anger and dispair over finding out what the wizard was really like...chilling

[killoa2002]

its amazing how much stronger shes gotten vocally

[PARAWHORExHERE]

im glad i listened the whole way through and didnt just skip to the end...

the way she is saying "gravity" is making me melt. and i LOVE her "they'll never bring us down" <3

her 'its not her' speech has got a billion times better, but i am missing the growl on its me! such a glorious defying gravity <3

[unidan82]

just noticed, she's corrected the "Too-gether" bit :D

[unidan82]

She's really anounciating at the moment... as is the guy who said "in the name of oz open this door" he was a bit posh haha. Incredible vocally though, although missing some adlibs hehe omg the end is just PERFECT - absolutely splenderific

i love the growl on the beginning of the last note! - the applause is rightfully incredible!!!

[WickedGlindax]

Love it! She sounds brilliant. I need to get back to the AV as soon as possible!! x
