Lincoln Ward- Defying Gravity "Tenor Key"

This video is in response to multiple requests Ive gotten for a while now after the old videos were taken down. I finally decided to do it. This is Defying Gravity raised a third from the original key. I believe Raul Esparza was the male performer who made this key popular.
Also, yes, lots of riffs. Would I ever do that many riffs onstage? No. In my room? Absolutely.

I also wasnt really planning on making this video, so it was kinda spontaneous... So thats why i look so sloppy ;)

You look a bit like Niki-Davis jones the u/s Elphaba in London, and you sound amazing!

Great voice. Very nice. Too much riffing, though. Don't get me wrong, they were great, but it became more of a "Listen to me. I sing pretty. Isn't my voice great?" And it truly is. Embellishments are fabulous, my friend, but don't let them be the focus of your performance. More emotion. You're great! Keep up the work!! I'd love to see more.

i think you look sexy, like you just rolled out of bed. i know they can take away my gay card for this, but i can't stand showtunes. you are my exception. the end is my favorite part, when you let yourself go and just sing.

It's very riff-y (word?) but it sounds great! :D

[ayammmme]

Is these any way that you could send me the karaoke/track or whatnot???? Pretty please!!

Great version, but Raul Esparza did it up a tone, he did it in G, you did it in F, but to be fair, you nailed it in F :-)

wow... that was surprising! I've been listening to many covers of this song and i actually have found versions that went worse and worse one after one.... as fast as i saw ur thumbnail idky but i thought to myself "failing coming soon" but, when u opened ur mouth and sang, u weren't that bad!! To me ur kinda far from being really amazingly awesome, but don't get me wrong, u surprised me! this is good! keep on working hard and u'll go far! ;D

why do you have to be so good? holy crap man...nice work.

Great job I like how you made it your own and didn't strain
