[superpeace321]

Okay, i must be still a child cause when a grown up says a joke that makes a grown up laugh, you'll see that child would not be laughing, until when the child grows up.

[JosephC23]

Brilliant.

[Siobhanxo95]

[percycatmill5]

[Puppies140]

[sosalala09]

[DanielJordan1991]

Imagine walking down a street in New York City and just passing Stephanie J Block singing the end of Defying Gravity to somebody on the phone lmao!

[myhouseofsorrows]

So wonderful!!!

[gcampbell03]

"she's crazy .. but i did :D" .. she makes me smile.

[rosaf19]

Really pretty cello part, if you listen for it.

[katelovestennessee]

BEST SONG and BEST INTERPRETATION EVER!

<3

[p3fan09]

i started to cry during this!!! i've never had a song hit me that hard like this did! i'm still kinda cryin lol

[shgreiff]

She's doing her own London Concert at the end of the month at the New Players Theatre!

[bookworm1138]

"she's crazy!"

see? even SJB agrees w. me!

[DEFiiANCE]

What would I have given to be on that street when she burst into song :D Shoshana is hilarious and Stephanie is great!

[fashonista2512]

I Don't Know but I Think Neverland is true..I Think its true.. Somehow..I Believe It's true..Wishing Everyday To go And Flew There..Oh God..I wish Neverland is true..And i wish I Can flew through neverland with peter pan and Tinkerbell..And If Possible I Can Stay There In 5 Days..If..I Always Believe..I Don't Wanna Leave My childhood..I Wanna Be a Child..Forever Like Peter Pan..Full Of Happy Thoughts..And Full Of Adventure'S..I Like That..Neverland Is a Land Of Happiness..

[ShesBroadwayBound]

@fashonista2512 What are you on?? o_O

[fashonista2512]

@ShesBroadwayBound Walang basagan ng trip.....Why??....So??...

[fashonista2512]

I love this song!!!!!!!!! ABOUT PETER PAN...Now i know my Neverland is in my HEART......

[ttdoclearsieallaire]

Shoshana, fucking hilarious. <3 THIS BITCH CALLS ME BACK...Oh gosh.

[elphielover247]

I thought Lea Michele more resembled Idina Menzel. Something about her face and the way she sang Defying Gravity reminds me of Idina.

[jadorelefrancais]

she is soooooooooo GREAT!!!!

[bittyfry]

STEPHANIE IS SOOO AMAZING!!

[iceskaterkori]

Probably one of the best voices EVER! Shoshana is AMAZING as well and hilarious =]

[blockhead29]

i love this :)

i love how she can go from joking around. look down. then be serious and give the song such meaning

[Meadowlark87]

Oh my word. I have been having a really pleasent evening watching some fabulous songs on youtube, then I came to this and I didn't even realise it at the time, but I have been crying throughout this song. It is stunning. Beautifully executed, undoubtedly, but truly an exceptional piece of writing.

[kelbo1rox2your3sox]

I'd already favorited this even before Stephanie came onstage--Shoshana was that awesome. But this...yes, it certainly turned out to be one of THOSE videos. When you wish you could just favorite it over and over and over! Sho wasn't kidding; Stephanie gave it her all and probably WOULD have continued to be incredible if somebody died. Died from awesome intake.

Cheesy comment. But I'm just in awe. Mesmerizing performance. Brilliant introduction. xD

[bnorem09]

me too! i clicked favorite right after shoshana said "this bitch called me back.."

[khykhy]

What a voice.. outstanding

[rachelmorgenaliasme]

perfect

[broadwaybabe1234]

This Video is life changing.... thank you stephanie for the beautiful rendition of the song and thank you scott alan for creating the song!

[ameliasulu]

Flawless.

[james28291]

is it wierd that im a guy and im singing this song for an audition!? hahaha

[TheQueenofBroadway]

nothing weird about it at all. Scott Alan wrote it and he sings it and he's a guy!

[james28291]

THANKS :) i love it so much!

[TheWickedElphaba]

that is such a beautiful song and Stephanie j Block is just amazing

[TheQueenofBroadway]

I think after watching basically every single video of her singing this song, I've come to the conclusion that this one is my favorite. She's sang it so much and she doesn't seem to get sick of it. But I just feel like this is one of her best performances. I'll never forget how I stumbled upon this song on iTunes after seeing her in 9 to 5 and just listening to it and falling in love. No one can sing this as good as Steph. its her song

[xKINGxSCARx]

She's so beautiful =] i love her voice !!

[bwaycraz3d84]

I'm so glad I had to opportunity to see her in Wicked and 9 to 5. Now I have her autograph, a picture of me with her, and her first solo CD, along with all the cast recordings she's on. I can't wait to see where she lands next!

[TommyJayCast]

shes soo amazing, i saw her twice in wicked and i have her autograph

[sopranootano18]

every time i listen to this it makes me happy =D

[ginohhh]

God, Shoshana, that was the best intro ever.

[STUPIDxxSITE]

No kidding!

[JohnMichaelBradshaw]

@ginohhh I know! I love it! "This bitch calls me back..." hahah <3

[syworld82]

THE 2 MOST CAPABLES ELPHABAS IN WICKED HISTORY... SJB and SHO

[Celinedion777]

@syworld82 The best elphaba was Idina Menzel too :)

[Celinedion777]

@syworld82 One of the best elphaba was Idina Menzel too :)

[haleygrace1]

I love how Shoshana's whole introduction is I was gonna say this, and then I was gonna say that, and it becomes her whole speech. Funny and cool. :)

[dacanceruwishuwere94]

scott alan's writing is so theatrical, it's BEAUTIFUL!!! i can't get it out of my head that his album is a regular album and not from a show..........lol. shoshana is so frikin hilarious! i would have never guessed........haha.

[thejoeyoshow]

gorgeous

[chdmadden]

We NEED her in the westend!!

[fanzel4eva]

There is deffinitely an ultimate NEED!!!!

[MoonsMusic]

INNNNNCREDIBLE.

[JunkE4Theatre]

i loveeeeeeeeeee SJB

[TheQueenofBroadway]

I am a very happy person because I just met Stephanie finally on Friday night!

[froggieviolinist]

She's soooooo nice I have met her too!

[vampirechunks]

Shoshana and Stephanie-- my top two Elphabas ever? Good gracious. This is like some fantastically wonderful dream... except everyone still has their clothes on. =P

Seriously though, the song is beautiful. Stephanie sings it with her usual powerhouse of heart and soul. Completely reminds me why I'm so hopelessly smitten with her.

Loved it! A+

[allformusic100]

that Backstory changed the whole song for me! I really loved the song before but now... wow, it has so much meaning... beautiful song!

[LeolieBlubbaFish]

she is amazing.

[Musicalfever84]

Love Love Love this song!!! Thank you Scott Alan for this great piece of Music with Lyrics that couldn't be more true!

[katielovesyouux]

would have LOVED to be there that night. but i live in england hahaa so i guess it just wouldnt have hapenened!

AMAZING. X

[fanzel4eva]

me too .... i wish shoshana and sjb would come to england .... :) x

[IHYT116]

i love that shes making jokes and has the whole auidence laughing and in a split second, she completly transforms and gets in the mindset of the song.

i love SJB.

[GREENHOUSES]

My favourite recording of this song!! :-) Love her!!

[TheQueenofBroadway]

This is probably one of the most gorgeous songs ever. I seriously can't even go to sleep without listening to it at night. and if you guys haven't seen it yet, go see her in 9 to 5! shes AMAZING! SJB=LOVE!

[sweetp311850]

SJB is my inspiration as a performer! And its true...I have seen four Elphabas, including Idina, and all were amazing...but SJB was far and above the others...she OWNED the role as if it was her own- which it was, before "the business" got in the way. I'm glad she got her chance later on because she was incredible- she brought me to tears like no other actress could as Elphaba. She is so brilliant, and so classy.

[beautiful0soul]

amen. well said :) sjb is amazing!

[Sab6888]

gives me chills and makes me tear up pretty much every time i watch it.

[Blinglover]

Gosh - for the first half I would have sworn I was listening to Jodi Benson.

Both are great. Love Stephanie.

I know someone who was also in the workshop for Wicked. There are no guarantees.

[dotsymae]

I always wonder when the musical theater scene changed from singers to yellers. Was it in the 60's or 70's or later. I miss the singers. Don't waster your time responding, I delete any resonses to my youtube comments without reading them.

[blondejokes92]

god i wish i were a sop. =[[

xxx

[Roodkreng88]

They are both hilarious!! Love the song <3

[MusicalPhenom1992]

those two are crazy and adorable! LOVE YOU STEPHANIE AND SHOSHANA!!!!

[haleygrace1]

When was Stephanie in the Wicked Workshops? Idina was in them in 2001 and in the previews and originated the role on Broadway. People always seem confused about this.

[zuzupetals1999]

Steven Shwartz wrote all of the music for Steph. She was the first Elphaba. When Universal Pictures became the major sponsor, they wanted a known performer in the lead role. Idina had just been nominated for "Rent" so she replaced Steph. Stephanie did all of the original workshops.

[MusicalPhenom1992]

Stephanie was the off-broadway Elphie.

[pestsprayed]

Stephanie and Kristin Chenoweth did the first workshops. KC was sent the first script in like 2000 and worked with Stephanie on it in readings and a couple of workshops I believe, which is how Glinda became a bigger character, and the G/E friendship became the main part of the story.

Idina was brought in when they needed a more known name.

[daisy1192]

holy crap. serisously, read the wicked grimmerie, you'll then understand. for god's sake, it's on wikipedia! Stephanie ORIGINATED the role of elphaba, but got sick or something, and the role was given to Idina Menzel. Idina DID complete most of the workshops, but Stephanie ORIGINALLY did them. Stephen Schwartz WROTE the music for SJB, but, blah blah blah - Idina got it.

[zuzupetals1999]

Stephanie was "pushed out" by Universal pictures. They were the financial backers for the musical and they wanted a big name star. Idina was just nominated for "Rent", so they chose her. Everything was written for SJB and as far as I'm concerned, Idina is not the same caliber singer/actress as SJB. SJB is in a class by herself and should have been the original Elphaba on Broadway. People who have never seen SJB perform have no idea what they are missing.

[beautiful0soul]

i completely agree. although i do think that idina is an amazing performer in her own right as well. but in my opinion steph is really just amazing and yeah...in a league of her own.

[broadwaydude2378]

did she write this song?

[BeautifulyTragic94]

no scot alan did and he asked her to perform it and record it for his album i thnk its al in the info bar

[MissLeannxx]

Scott Alan did.

[soupboy15]

she is always amazing!

[xHarryxHermioniex]

[lsmtkid]

shoshana is so cute.. hehe

[MaryBridget12]

Oh my goodness. She is brilliant

[laralovesmusic1]

All the best songs have the hardest to find sheet music!

[ATSChicks]

Go to Scott Alan's website

[saguaroangel]

This song makes me so happy! I want SJB's voice. ;-) She is sooooooo sweet! I love her!!!!!!!

[Alwayzsketching]

"i gotta be in it to win it cause Shoshana set me up that way" LOL these women are amazing singers and have amazing personalities. And these songs are simply wonderful. I have watched every single video from this show. Thank you Scott.

[swivman]

[blondejokes92]

[dancejessicasing]

[idinabwaylvr]

No, we don't! :) We lent you Idina Menzel. You lent us Kerry Ellis. EVEN! lol :D :) ;) ;D

[dancejessicasing]

This song is incredible, I'm actually crying right now, I have no idea why, but I am, XD

Such a beautiful song, Scott Alan is an absolute god! And Stephanie is one of my most favorite performers of all time, definately favorited by me, =D

By the way, I love the story Shoshana Bean told before Stephanie went on stage, it amused me to no end, I had this image of Stephanie standing on some sidewalk belting out defying gravity at the top of her lungs, XD

[Alwayzsketching]

haha i got that same mental picture!

[elphielover247]

I sang this in a talent show and I won! I knew it would it's fabulous.

[hiphopdancer1114]

i have the music 4 this song and its acctually really hard!!!!!! but its SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOO fun to sing!!!!!!!!!

[SpiceBaby47]

Both girls are amazing

[mrssydneycarton]

I LOVE HER. It is such a treat to see this!!

[sweet448]

OMG Shoshana Bean is SOOOOO funnnnnyyy! hhaha

[nygypsy318]

This is actually one of my very favorite songs (I have a Peter Pan/Neverland/never-wanna-grow up thing myself), and I was introduced to it when I stumbled on Stephanie singing it... who knows where anymore. I'm definitely doing my part in spreading the word of its greatness!

[remali06]

This is absolutely wonderful! Nice song,performed with so many beautiful emotions!

[eabhorselvr]

great vidio

[meeplesquadge]

love her

[jagc9110]

lovelovelove this

[OceanSunRise4]

On the cd, does the song still sound like this, i'm afraid to buy it cause i'm scared im going to be disappointed. I love how steph really gets into it, and as someone else said tells a story when she sings it...is it still like that? thanks.

[sabriebrie]

Yes, it's like that on the CD - well, in my opinion. I really love the version on the CD. It became my most played song in about a week ;-)

[OceanSunRise4]

ok great! thanks so much for your help!

[kellypuppy]

I bought the CD last night and was blown away by both Home and Never Neverland. The ladies both have such pure voices.

[entertainer1987]

What I really enjoy about her performances is that she tells a story when she sings. She's a very gifted woman.

[OceanSunRise4]

I totally agree!

[iiLoveKerryEllis]

omg wooooooow :O:O

[brightsunshine]

[mharden13]

Why is SJB so amazing? My goodness, her voice just makes you want to melt. She is so good!

[piazzalover]

This is beautiful! I just Stephanie 8x as Judy Bernly in 9 to 5. It was my first time seeing her perform live. She's FABULOUS in this show! Go see it in New York! It's a stellar cast all the way around!

[misskit123]

I love Steph!! And Sho's introduction is so funny!

Also, why are you all talking about Kerry?!

[isabellacinderella]

I dunno... lol but she is amazing too!

[WickedRulz08]

OK - it may just be me, but I think that Sho must have ADHD because she can never sit/stand in one place for more than a second!!!! Mind you, this is no disrespect to Sho - I love Sho - it's just that I have ADHD too, and it just cracks me up. :p

Random I know.....

[KerryEllisObsessed]

[geothevanni]

I just saw her in 9 to 5 in LA! She brought the house down when she sang "Get Out and Stay Out." She makes it seem so effortless.

[lostONstage710]

"this bitch called me back....sang the entire song"

[babybl1115]

so i recently performed in my last dance recital, and we transformed peter pan into a ballet. i had the honor to play peter pan, and this song really spoke to me. now, whenever i hear this song, i think about my wonderful time playing the crazy boy who will never grow up.

[MamaMaryEllensBlog]

[mattmo2007]

[zuzupetals1999]

I've been watching this video for two months and it still blows me away. Stephanie is the greatest.
