It's A Sports Thing Hosted By Cameron Datzker
Featuring singing sensation Dorothy Rea T. Gonzales

Dorothy sings Defying Gravity

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!

GLINDA
Can't I make you understand?
You're having delusions of grandeur:

ELPHABA
I'm through accepting limits
'Cuz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down:
(spoken) Glinda - come with me. Think of what we could
do: together.

(sung) Unlimited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been
Glinda -
Dreams, the way we planned 'em

GLINDA
If we work in tandem:

BOTH
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity

ELPHABA
They'll never bring us down!
(spoken) Well? Are you coming?

GLINDA
I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this

ELPHABA
(spoken) You too
(sung) I hope it brings you bliss

BOTH
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend:

ELPHABA
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!

Why does it sound weird? I rather hear her voice in a normal way. The speacial effects killed it.

[Gyasishepps08]

Positive=making the song your own which you did, lovely riffs at points, i was nearly going to click on something else because i thought "great another person ruining the song" but you caught my ear, well done.

Negative=Lacked emotion, a song from a musical should never lack what it needs on stage wherever you sing it. diciton at points wasnt great, sounds too poppy at points, like britney spears to be honest and you rushed a tad at the end. overall i really liked it, well done! =]

procura no adelantarte o atrasarte del tempo de la musica

[DudeSinger]

Darn i was waiting for the Belt at the end

[5454CkMac]

This is ok! ur pretty guud,

[maferrara1]

ope someone just screamed for three minutes and fifty four seconds....

[ichigo0000000000000]

her style isn't fit for this song, but she's good!

[DramaQueen18441]

I did not like this one bit.

To start stick with the original swing of things like timings and tune

Second take that annoying echo off the mic it's ruining the whole thing

[iheartwicked91]

i agree with the shoshana part, but i still really like idina but shes not in my top 5

[belikejesse]

But Idina ruined her voice during "Wicked" and vocally, Shoshana ran circles around Idina. If you don't think her voice is shot, let's reference the "Rent" movie - she sounded awful. Shoshana was a better performer and singer than Idina.

And in that same vein, Idina DID NOT deserve her Tony for "Wicked." Tonya Pinkins should have won.

[BlueJeanBaby012]

Too many rifs. It makes it sound too popish. I love me some riffs here and there, but not a lot... Only Shoshana Bean.

[sroberts314]

Range wise, it fits her. Too much stylizing and back singing in my opinion. But in all great job. Her pitch and belt is right on!
