I originally thought Idina Menzel was the only one who could sing this and invoke so much emotion in me I stand corrected this young lady gave me chills and also invoked so much emotion Wow
Laura, the girl singing, we went to school together. I once sent her this song with idina singing it, and said, crikey, I bet that's a tough song to sing. Anyway, fast forward years later, i've gone to bradford to watch wicked, and guess who is lead lady 😂. Everyone who went to school with her knew she was destined for the west end. She is a superstar with bags of talent and bags of confidence. And my word, does this give me thw goosebumps everytime. Beautiful. Tears/shivers, the whole bag.
LOL you're joking right? 😂😂😂 Idina is the WORST Elphaba. Literally every single person who did the role after her did better. She couldn't even hit the correct notes and 95% of the time was off-key.
At first I wasn't sure her voice was strong enough but by the end boy did she prove me wrong. Brought tears to my eyes - phenomenal performance. Absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
Incredible production! The arrangement is beautiful. The lighting and stage design is a work of art! Sound reinforcement is pro all the way. Album worthy capture. Fantastic performance all around. Everyone involved brought their A game. This was inspiring, exciting and entertaining. Thank you!
I saw Laura a month ago and was blown away. I think her timbre is so like Idina's but maybe a bit sweeter. Absolutely gorgeous and her interpretation is brilliant.
I saw this show in the West End a few years ago i will never forget it and the time i had .The vocal is indeed spellbinding the orchestra outstanding ,still brings cold shivers and tears of joy when i watch it x
0:18 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 hold me down I'm through accepting limits 'Cause 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 Unlimited My future is unlimited And I've just had a vision, almost like a prophecy I know, it sounds truly crazy And true, the vision's hazy But I swear, someday I'll be Flying so high, defying gravity I'm flying high, defying gravity They'll never bring me down 2:51 So if you care to find me Look to the western sky As someone told me lately Everyone deserves the chance to fly And if I'm flying solo At least I'm flying free To those who ground me Take a message back from me 3:19 Tell them how I am defying gravity I'm flying high, defying gravity And soon, I'll match them in renown 3:34 And nobody in all of Oz No wizard that there is or was Is ever gonna bring me down Bring me down Oh
My 7 year old daughter and myself just applauded and cheered a youtube video.. this is amazing and our favourite song. We can't wait to see you in Southampton on the tour 👏👏
What a song, what a singer, what a brilliant voice! Unfortunately, I will probably never be able to see this live. I LOVE this song! Many greetings from Germany!
I’ve just seen Laura Pick playing this role in Bradford and I was blown away. I’ve seen Wicked a few times but she and Sara O’Conner (Glinda) were unbelievably good and the whole touring cast the best I’ve ever seen. Can’t get it out of my head - thank you for being so amazing
I saw them both on Wednesday and she was amazing, she plays the character so well, I teared up in 'for good' and was blown away by 'no good deed' when she sings fiyerrrooooooo, it's now my new favourite song, I'd never really paid much attention before
So true! I had listen to a lot og versions and since I was gonna see It in person I avoided checking them but I was surprised How amazing they are. They match and sound good together
I see wicked twice once in Melbourne and the second time on Broadway in NY one of my all time favourite shows and this performance with backing singer’s & orchestra was sublime congratulations , standing ovation 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Saw her perform this in Bradford when I finally got to see Wicked-that moment was something I could never prepared for! Shaking and tears in my eyes by the final chorus! I screamed so loud as the curtain came down!
It truly is the most perfect version, vocally, that I've ever heard. Unbelievable control and personal knowledge of her own voice. Breathtaking performance.
There's not a single time where I won't cry my heart out when this song is played
Me too, brother.
Sameeee! 💗✨
歌詞も完璧ですね…
自分も世の中のしがらみから解き放たれたくなる😅
It just got to me! 😢the end is an experience
Chacka 69❤
Same!! ❤
When the orchestra enjoy playing just as much as the performer enjoys singing an incredible song! Amazing!!
This is quite a magical and phenomenal vocal. She exudes the confidence needed for the role.
This was EXACTLY the reason why Idina Menzel is in Frozen
Saw her on Wednesday, I can confirm she was amazing, I have a new favourite song because of her ❤

Hahahahahahahahahaha oh man oof
@@edselgreaves6503shoo
Sorry, Menzel was not good. She wasn't singing, she was more or less yelling and squeezing the neck out of the at the big notes... .. . Not Pleasant.
She was born to play Elphaba she just slays the roll with ease
Roll lol
😂😂😂😂
This performance by Laura is breathtakingly amazing.
At first I wasn't sure her voice was strong enough but by the end boy did she prove me wrong. Brought tears to my eyes - phenomenal performance. Absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for sharing this with the world.
She’s the best there is.
Far out! One of the best performances I've ever heard of it! Love it!
AND THAT ORCHESTRA!!!
Incredible production! The arrangement is beautiful. The lighting and stage design is a work of art! Sound reinforcement is pro all the way. Album worthy capture. Fantastic performance all around. Everyone involved brought their A game. This was inspiring, exciting and entertaining. Thank you!
The drummer is killing it!!!
I was thinking the exact same! Excellent drummer
So glad she’s returning 😊💚
🙌💚

will i cry with every performance of this magical song? the answer is YES OF COURSE
This might be one of the most flawless renditions I've ever heard. Wow!!! Just...wow...her voice is nearly perfect. Absolutely unbelievable.
@@DanKeeleyMusic right?! Masterful, and she knew she nailed it. Small triumphant moment there.
Agreed!
Saw her live in Cardiff on tour a few weeks back, she was truly fantastic.
She's so insanely good. Can't wait to see her again on tour!
I also love seeing the people in the audience singing along with her, relating to Elphaba😭
Saw her in Manchester recently and her vocals is superb! Glad to see this clip ❤
Finally got to see this show live this year and it was beyond my expectations. The whole cast, the costumes, the sets. It all just blew me away
wow - I have seen a lot of renditions but her finale is - so good.
0:18 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 hold me down
I'm through accepting limits
'Cause 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
Unlimited
My future is unlimited
And I've just had a vision, almost like a prophecy
I know, it sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision's hazy
But I swear, someday I'll be
Flying so high, defying gravity
I'm flying high, defying gravity
They'll never bring me down
2:51 So if you care to find me Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately
Everyone deserves the chance to fly
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who ground me
Take a message back from me
3:19 Tell them how I am defying gravity
I'm flying high, defying gravity
And soon, I'll match them in renown
3:34 And nobody in all of Oz
No wizard that there is or was Is ever gonna bring me down
Bring me down
Oh
This song gives me emotions every time I hear it 💚💚💚💚💚
A standing ovation very well deserved!
Wow never heard this singer's version and it is INCREDIBLE
Seeing Laura perform in Cardiff in 4 hours! Safe to say I’m about to have a wonderful evening! I maaaaaay also be going tomorrow night also 😂
So consistent! Laura will absolutely smash this tour! 💚
Can't wait! 💚
@@world_of_wicked she's a really nice person to work with
Always a fan of Laura's at school. Always felt she'd go on to big things. The absolute pinnacle of musical dreams is this. She's smashed it.
The first Elphaba I saw live on West End 😍
Mind blown! Sobbed like a baby. Amazing.
Gosh she is very good. Superb band too
Orchestra.
@@zyxw2024I’ve had pro orchestra conductors refer to orchestras as bands. It’s just a slang word
@@LittleMixLuvr Okay.
My 7 year old daughter and myself just applauded and cheered a youtube video.. this is amazing and our favourite song. We can't wait to see you in Southampton on the tour 👏👏
What a song, what a singer, what a brilliant voice! Unfortunately, I will probably never be able to see this live. I LOVE this song! Many greetings from Germany!

She's amazing!
Laura is the my favourite on looks and vocals. Shes 🔥
Honestly the best version I've heard of this song.
Simply masterful
This is the best version I've heard!!! Unbelievable!!
Love her placements ❤
Saw her in Cardiff on Saturday for the UK tour, she was exceptional! Genuinely would put her in the top 3 Elphebas worldwide, vocally.
I love the physicality of Laura's performance as much as the vocals. All her body language, the little gestures, her facial expressions. Captivating.
Incredible performance! Love the faces of the orchestra members as well. Heart warming! 👏
What a voice! What an orchestra! What a performance!
The GOOSEBUMPS holyyyyyyyyy
She and WIllemijn Verkaik are the best!! Amazing!
Saw her perform this in Bradford when I finally got to see Wicked-that moment was something I could never prepared for! Shaking and tears in my eyes by the final chorus! I screamed so loud as the curtain came down!
NOONE and I mean NOONE is more excited than me that Wicked is going back on tour its been too fucking long I'm ecstatic!!!! 🙌🏻💚🙌🏻💚🙌🏻💚😭😭😭
本当のこの曲が大好きです。
This was…so good 😳 She’s impeccable.
That was absolutely amazing xxx
Uma das musicas mais lindas de todos os musicais.
You don't wake up one day and whip up an impeccable vocal performance like this. Just wow.
Fantastic performance! She made those high notes look easy.
This song has been living rent free inside of my head ever since I watched the live play.
I even have it as my ringtone!
Wowza🎉
Saw Laura in Dublin today ... Unreal 😍
Iconic! I was so glad she played in Dublin! I love you Laura!!!!!
I'm just so amazed at the fact she makes it seem so easy! 😮❤😮❤😮
im really moved,and holding space for this performance
1.54, the word goodbye. Smashes right through it into another world. Amazing Laura. What a gift
Heard this song while watching Wicked (2024)! 🥰
wow wow wow! what a voice! this is magic ❤
Until further notice, this is the definitive live vocal performance, a reference for other elphabas performing on TV.
@KAZAM707 Sheridan Adams is way better
It truly is the most perfect version, vocally, that I've ever heard. Unbelievable control and personal knowledge of her own voice. Breathtaking performance.
Love this song, brings tears to my eyes every time.
Technically brilliant and also not over complicated - especially the final 3 notes. Best version ever in my opinion! 🎉
I saw her in Birmingham, uk this year and she was beyond amazing, such a powerhouse.
Omg! Gotta watch Wicked again!
so beautiful.. you did it so good and make me happy to hear that... thanks.
Amazing!!the best version..her voice is perfect❤
Fantastic voice
Really amazing closing performance of Defying Gravity for this artist! WELL DONE
Omg outstanding and spellbinding tears in eyes shivers all over x
She is really amazing... I would love to hear her live, it gives me goosebumps 😍
Great performance!

Love this, but my absolute favorite is Jemma Rix from the Australian run, stunning!
What in the hell… just perfect! 🤩
Klasse Love 💗💗💗
미쳤다.. 뮤지컬 영화로 나와서 보러옴🥰
