Defying Gravity (English version!) by Willemijn Verkaik (slightly improved)

This is basically the same video as the one I've uploaded yesterday, I've merely tried to improve the ending a little :)

Apart from that, the same info applies here:

Finally Willemijn Verkaik (the best Elphaba ever!!! :P) has sung an English version of "Defying Gravity", and with a little bit of Audacity and Windows Movie Maker magic, I tried to evoke the impression that she was actually singing it in a Broadway show. :D

It's of course far from perfect, but you get the idea. Any strange sounds or "out of-syncs" are totally my fault, not hers; she sings it beautifully, as always! :))

By the way, I didn't record any of the audio or video material here.
Looking forward to your comments! :D
