No Good Deed

[broadwaybabe35]

This just made my life. Legit.

[cybercat786]

@AxelleDarkleigh You have to listen to the actual recording of this a lot before you get use to singing with the piano version. Doesn't take that long, then again, I'm a music fanatic. ;D

[wickedphant0m]

HOLY SHIT. You are a master.

[AxelleDarkleigh]

LOST ON HOW TO SING THIS TO PIANO

[ITSnicoNASTY]

Piano is the best version this song could be played! And you do it PERFECT!!! With so much feeling.. <3

[evebil123]

Great playing! very random Halloween thingy! x

[SammiSeldowitz]

Woooow. This sounds amazing. The instrumental is really hard to follow when singing along, but maybe that's just me not knowing the song too well. :P Anyway this seems sooo difficult to play, you did an amazing job.

[sashamommy]

Great job!!

[wow000999]

my chin is down to the ground... dude you f'in rock!!!! lol i wish i could play like that! xP

[loukillick]

Do u play for the musical? Wow amazing

[Maestrojosh87]

@loukillick No, but I would love to.

[nunderst]

Definitly the best piano player I hav ever heard, there is no faults in anything you do!

[rukirockie]

Why is this so fucking amazing?!

[BenjiBarkerIsNomore]

one of my favorite songs from my favorite musical.

amazing!

[operateen]

hey!! just recorded myself singing with u playing! ur amazing! plzz listen and tell me what u think! thanks alot!

[cheshiredog96]

I'm curious to hear what Whatsername would sound like!!! You're an amazing pianist so I'm sure it would sound good. Thanks a lot for responding!!! :)

[cheshiredog96]

If possible, even though the libretto isn't out yet, could you do some from American Idiot (the musical). i.e. Letterbomb, Last Night On Earth, Whatsername? Thank you so much. Hope to hear back.

[Maestrojosh87]

@cheshiredog96 I would if I could play guitar, because that's what it sounds the best on. American Idiot is not, alas, a pianistic score.

[Maestrojosh87]

However, I would be able to play Whatsername, but I must warn you, without the electric guitars, bass, and drums, it will not sound the same.

[PHANtomGAL01]

oh my god. You are the most talented person I know

[Maestrojosh87]

@PHANtomGAL01 Really, Emma? Really?

[PHANtomGAL01]

@Maestrojosh87 really really :)

[Himekahorselover]

[iHeartSparkle]

wow :)

[isabellemauer]

at 1.20 is there a key out of tune? it sounds weird !

you played this beautiful piece so amazing!

[Elphaboy]

no its in tune, this whole song is filled w/ weird chords... w/io an orchestra it can sound kinda strange, No one mourns the wicked sounds as weird w/o orchestral back up as well

[videogeek12345]

you would be even better if you uploaded a tutorial!!

[combuek]

You bad ass you. I wanna be able to hear and play like you!

[Elfers282]

Amazing job! Thanks so much for posting!

[Elphaboy]

UGH AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was spot on i sang with it and never once had to think about where i was in the timing!!!!! wonderful!!!!!!!

[loveyouelphie]

You did a fantastic job! Could you please tell me where you got the piano sheets? Please?

[Marly144]

wow!! Where did you get the sheet music to this!! 0-0 this is brilliant, could you please tell me??

[suline06]

hi marly144 did you managed to get this sheet?

[OJ1013]

I love 1:40-2:03!

[Cocona101]

oMg i need that sheet music 4 this 4 blue lake i found this site but it skips the elekanamen bits. i need the first 32 measures some1 help me!

[Yur1Hime]

Woah...0-0....I love this song and you do an amazing job on the piano.

[DMDmusic]

=O

Awesome playing!

[operastar1994]

I love No Good Deed its freakin awesome song and your brillant.

[metzlogan]

I am absolutely enamored with your precise playing. I am a piano player myself, and I have been trying to play this for weeks. The fast sixteenth notes completely dumbstruck me. I can play them, but it is hard to switch chords and to play them without sounding like a mess. How do you suggest me to learn to play this song? Is there any technique on how you got to be able to play it so nicely and smoothly? Again, great job!

[scooterviii]

can you please make the march of the witch hunters?!

[Cocona101]

i neeed the sheet music for this song (and popular maybe) for an audition PLEASE Help someone

[Reuychi]

Here. :x

I recorded to your Amazing-ness =D Onry Audio though =P Sorry about the Quality... and the whole "guy" thing xD

[Selendomono]

most certainly the hardest song to play in wicked. or at least i think so. im looking at the sheet music and there are chords with like 9 notes in them for just one hand :P hello difficult

[videogeek12345]

pease make a video showin how to play this song please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its amazing!

[WestEndGirl96]

This is really good!!! I love singing along to your playing and i was wondering if you could do 'i'm not that girl' also from wicked as it's hard to find a decent piano backing track to it .x

you're amazingly talented and your other covers completely show it

xoxo

[roxygirlrcg]

Amazing talent Josh, keep up the great work!!! I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos :)

xxxxxxxxxx

[TheGirlWhoDubs98]

Some of the tune of Defying Gravity is in here, isn't it? You've got some MAD SKILLS, Josh! Great job!

Wicked: A New Musical for Piano, Voice and Guitar (Pvg) (Paperback)? because i really want to learn it but I don't know which book is the right one!

Thankyou, and you are utterly AMAZING!!

[PhantomCake]

O.O

so much fun to sing!! thanks so much!

[GJC1995]

this is brilliant

[osucutie91]

i miss this show so much it was great

[HelloMuchBetter13]

Holy...oh. my. god. So not only are your transcription skills second to none, you're an incredible pianist to boot. Even my piano teacher took one look at the sheet music for this song from the Vocal Selections book and said "...maybe not."

Bravo.

[NarniaNut1898]

Holy. Cow.

Wow.

AMAZING!

[TrpleThreat22]

Wow. Just . . .wow!

[Sk8rboy9782]

Did you actually transcribe it? Or did you take the easy way out and obtain the sheet music by request.

[Maestrojosh87]

I did neither. I played it all from memory.

[SteinbachPlayer]

i was miming along and got shivers lol. you're great

[tysdal]

Are you not using any sheet music?

[Ravencroft77]

The pace of this is impressive and beautiful. Favourite.

[Ravencroft77]

You don't just play the song, you sing it. I can hear you breathing. Your really into the song. It's really amazing.

[sweet448]

WOW! My jaw dropped when you started playing!!!!! lol

[mikey198620]

[bhollings]

where did you get the arrangement for the start cos the one in my book starts at around 1:05 :( and i REALLY want to learn the start. did you do it by ear?

[KeysOnTheCeiling]

Do you have teh official piano book too?

[bhollings]

i do, but iv learnt the start bit now by ear. its quite easy. I'm writing on sibelius now....although the key changes are annoying!

[KeysOnTheCeiling]

Ah sick. I have the book too but I haven't started this piece yet.

I may learn that into by ear too.

Is silabius good?/Free?

[legotheatre1]

U R A LEGEND!

well done!

well done!

[johandasu]

[25apqm]

you're really great!!! I love all your songs. I wish I could play the piano like you do... :p

[tootpla]

OMG...I've just recently discovered wicked and this is my FAVORITE SONG!!! When she sings out "Fieyro!" there is so much emotion in it....GOSH I LOVE YOU! marry me? =)

[twirlny]

This is such powerful music and you play it PERFECTLY. What a joy to hear this!  The only thing that would make this better is to have Idina singing with you. Thanks for sharing!

[mdawg9498]

oh wow thats amazing. nice job =]

[rockinaustin1]

Wow! I was singing to this by myself and u got the music right on time just like the orcastra!! Nice piano playing dude!! 5/5

[hellohaze]

Man you are AWESOME!!!

[mtswingband]

[mccreadboy]

that ending note with the pedal was the most amazing thing i have ever heard

[restlesssocietymax]

[tatyrules12]

UR AMAZING!!!!

[KeysOnTheCeiling]

MOAR WICKED PLZ.

[Maestrojosh87]

Okay. I'll do "One Short Day" or "No One Mourns" or "Popular" and that may be it for a while.

[KeysOnTheCeiling]

Any would be wonderful, but especially Popular :) Thanks!

Do you do them by ear?

[OooR3oO]

[wickedfan7777]

My god your a god damn amazing player!!!

I can sing to your playing of alll the songs perfectly :D

Your timing is impeckable :D thanks for posting all wicked songs :)

[charmed1115]

damn thats some "Wicked" music No Good Deed is kinda freaky lol

[swizzle2012]

that looks wicked hard!!!

(no pun intended) : )

[BloodLeaveNoStain]

Oh, which book do you have? the piano/vocal score for the musical numbers? Please give me some info so I can purchase the book! :P

THANKS SOOOO MUCH FOR POSTING!

[Miriwajibunde]

This. OMG this.

(If you do it by ear, that's amazing, but also extremely depressing because I'm just not that good at it yet.)

[mrsjacksparrow1992]

WOW! I want to sing to this and post it as a video response. Although, I'd probably ruin your extreme piano skills!!

[serpau47]

you are unbelieveable!!!!! you are amazing and and other wonderful thing!!!

best guy who has ever played wicked!

[WickedlyEmerald]

I beg of you to play Defying Gravity - you are absolutely amazing!!!

[klaxtriz]

that was WICKED!! pardon the pun here ;)

[TimKoopman10]

what is the first chord? C minor?

[Maestrojosh87]

yep, C minor.

[TimKoopman10]

and you did this song also on your ear? cause i have the original book (omg, 337 pages!) and its also written in C minor, and you did almost the same as they. btw i'm learning this song also, i know the first 5 pages of the 11!

[Maestrojosh87]

Yeah. I did it by ear.

[TimKoopman10]

well done! :O

[kadjami]

Wait, original? 337 pages????!!! Please tell me, what book is this, and where can I find it? Cause I have the normal one, but the songs are shortened and it's definitely not 337 pgs long :).

[Maestrojosh87]

What he probably means is he has the original score in its entirety. The "No Good Deed" he has in his score is probably like between 8 and 13 pages long.

[TimKoopman10]

oops, that's what i meant :P! ngd is 11 pages

[xXxXCathyXxXx]

I've got a smaller version of the book only 120 pages...where do you get the longer version?

[TimKoopman10]

i traded it online. if you have other pianobooks, i would like to trade

[xXxXCathyXxXx]

ok are you talking other musicals, if so i have cut down versions of les mis, rent and chicago?

[titanicwicked]

i have the full score to wicked

[swim1012]

wow that was amazing!!!

was that from the book of piano/vocal selections?? because it seemed a lot different cause they changed the one in the book around and made it easier

[yunsmustdie]

OMG! Thank you for uplaoding! I've been looking for an accompaniment bacause I'm singing this for an audition and I havn't been able to find one

[holly1fan]

dude.....THAT WAS FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!!

i wanna learn how to play that. :D

[Zukoluver5]

Oh, my god that is awesome, i was sining along!

[xMakingGoodx]

Are you Stephen Schwartz!?! haha

[Love889]

I second that!

[RazamatazReddo]

I Third.

[tananmarie]

no way thats so good

Were did u get the full sheet music i can only get the sheet music without the big at the beginning. I need it for a exam im doing coz im singing the song cud u let me know wer u got it from

[tappentiggerer]

when you get the Wicked Piano/Vocals book it has an email you can send a message to and ask for the scores that were on the OBC recording basically the ones in the musical as the ones in the book are just made easier to play on piano and shorter. so yeh.

[stevenswindells]

I'm really impressed with this!! So nice to listen to a good piano arrangement of this song played played fantastically!

[thechimpandthebug]

i love you

[Dallimorelover]

Just superb. I can play all of them, but no wher near as well as this, and the only bits I've managed to add not from the score are the Overture, and a few little sections like the Wizards march. Brilliant

[sharky4]

You are so amazing i almost cried.

[TheEh]

Absolutely incredible!!!

Is this the official sheet music version from the book?

[hfcicbigpwned]

YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! <333 + my favorite song everrr

[rubygirl99]

whats grade piano are u?

i have a friend at grade 7, but i dot think he could play itthat good if he eva tried!

[Music4ev]

This is kick ass. You should do defying gravity for sure. Awesome.

[wickedloserfan]

i just noticed something...lol, when the camera shakes during the vocal part of "FIYEROO!" really loudly, was that intentional?if not, that adds a riveting effect!

[Maestrojosh87]

No, but it DOES add a quite riveting effect. Maybe it was the force that I sent when I played really loudly.

[wickedloserfan]

intentional or not, it was AWESOME.

[ForgottenBen]

im sad enough to have sang along to that.

Worked bloody amazing.

You rock.

[Ichbinblod]

from the first measure, I just could not stop watching!!!! omigod... you are so wonderfully talented. :)

[wickedloserfan]

i sat here and sang along with it. you are freaking awesome, dude!!!! <3333!!!

[chezecaekfaktrie33]

[kdancer16]

[Katelyn1717]

[sk8trgirl05]

You are so good. Will you please consider playing Defying Gravity.

[ClawedKitty]

That was unbelievably amazing!!! Words ca!n't describe the skill you have

[djcomposer]

How did you learn to do that arpeggio with one hand? That was my favorite part!

[NextBroadwayDiva]

Stephen Schwartz, IS THAT YOU???

AMAAAZING!!!

the one in the piano book is not complete right? i mean, no intro?

[Maestrojosh87]

Nope, no intro.

And by the way, I am NOT Stephen Schwartz, even though I would prefer to be.

[kitty17794]

Absolutely AMAZING. Especially that intro!

[AsianElphaba06]

OMG! No words can express how amazing that was. I've been hoping someone would post this song on here. Fabulous job!

[nickjonaswife]

amazing!

[Macadoodle333]

you are a beast.

[gamezb2013]

Wow!

[pouletbete]

yah that was amazing.

[DramaticAngel]

It's weird. from where i'm sitting on the computer, I have a perfect view of the 'No Good Deed' sheet music sitting on my piano, and here I go on YouTube and see you've posted a video playing it.

Of course, I can't even get through the first eight measures without screwing up though, lol.

Perfect, as always. You rock.

[EmmettForrest]

LOVED IT! Perfect!

[jello1230]

omg ur sooooooo amazing!!!!!!!!!!
