This is a very interesting version, really gorgeous, but let's be real, Ms. Houston would have done so so so much more had she made her version, like 100 notches above what this song already is. We will always love you.❤
the first note gave me shivers. it's just like having her back. The only thing missing is her head voice. She used it for emphasis, not just for high notes. I think she would have done the bridge ("un liiiimited") and most of the runs in her head voice. that was her style with head voice. She also would have added more trills, grace notes, and runs.
Whitney on a casual evening performance during the week not wanting to overdo it and saving her big riffs and growls for Friday and Saturday night performances
In the spirit of Wicked Part 1 coming out next year, do you think An AI Cynthia Erivo singing Defying Gravity is something you’ll be making? I’d love to hear her vocals do this song so we know what to expect from her when the movie comes out
@@LaurielBordenI mean, I can but I’ve heard the sample of her singing defying gravity when universal studios played a sneak preview of the movie to an exclusive audience and she sounds absolutely phenomenal and I don’t think an AI will do her justice and there’s not much point considering we’ll be hearing her next year. If Whitney Houston was still alive, I’d much hear her sing the song for real but because she’s not with us anymore and so AI is the best we can do :(
Really…why??? I do hope Whitney would be absolutely horrified at your suggestion…Every artist has their moment!!! You really think Whitney would ever steal that moment from another great Artist!!! Although ‘one of a kind’ She is not alone!!! Get Real!! Apologize to Idina Menzel, open your horizons who are great!!!
@@irenehublick7680 mam, Idina Menzel wasn’t even the original first cast Elphaba! Stephanie J Block was the original who workshopped the role along with Kristen Chenoweth but they brought in Idina because she was more well known to the public and they wanted to ensure ticket sales. But this was very upsetting for Stephanie because she’s the one who basically helped create the role and they gave her the NT instead. Me Simply complimenting Whitney and saying she’d be great at singing this song is not stealing Idina’s spot light. Even tho I could say Idina stole Stephanie’s. Whitney Houston is the greatest singer of all time and I wish she was alive play elphaba. Whitney made every song she sang her own.
@@BenGi-yj8io True, but Idina did have to audition for Elphaba just like everyone else. The reason SJB couldn't open Wicked on Broadway was because she was already set to open in the Boy from Oz with Hugh Jackman playing Liza Minnelli. She did read for Elphaba in the earliest workshops of the show (no one's denying that) and she was also in the ensemble (and went on as Idina's understudy as Elphaba once) of the San Francisco pre-Broadway tryout 2003 cast. However, SJB opened the First National Tour of Wicked later on starting in Toronto from 2005-2006 and won a Helen Hayes Award herself for playing Elphaba (and then had her own Wicked Broadway Elphaba run from 2007-2008), so it's not like she didn't get a nice level of recognition for her own contributions to Wicked. It worked out how it was supposed to I think. Idina didn't "steal" Stephanie's Wicked spotlight though, she'd paid her own Broadway dues having been in Rent, the Wild Party & Aida, so she was primed for a "leading lady" Tony-nominated role. On Idina Menzel, you and I will just have to agree to disagree. I 🖤💚'd Idina as Elphaba. A WHOLE LOT. I liked Stephanie too, but Idina WAS Elphaba in a way that Stephanie just wasn't. At least to me. And Idina and Kristin were a: "Vocal SUPER POWERHOUSE couple" in a way I've never seen since in the roles. I am a HUGE "Chenzel" fan. Their chemistry is STILL unmatched.
@@benschaeffer8102 yes also true. However, I heard from an inside source that SJB was going to drop boy from oz to do wicked because Elphaba was a once in a lifetime role and she wanted to be the first one. That’s why Kristen and Idina never really got along cuz Kristen knew Idina got the role because people pulled strings. Idina’s voice wasn’t suited to the role because she can’t consistently hit the F5 and she strains a lot. Whitney Houston however, especially 80s or early 90s Whitney’s voice was perfect for the role. She would’ve broken new grounds
First half was quite believable, but it seems the AI technology isn't yet advanced enough to figure out the parts where Whitney's voice doesn't fit as closely (spoken parts, higher parts). I first noticed when the original sang a high note in chest voice, Whitney would have almost certainly used falsetto, but the AI isn't advanced enough to figure it out -- and the higher the notes went, the worse it got. Really cool to hear though.
Agreed. And the last battle cry riff where the music drops out and she's solo, Whitney's done that many times in live performance and almost always does the fiercest riffs at full power. This one here was kind of lackluster.
Agreed. Houston had an amazing voice with really incredible range and AI simply couldn't duplicate what she would have been capable of doing with the song. Nice try tho, and had she attempted it she would have totally killed it ❤
I'm no expert but yeah this person sounds like they are belting the high notes in chest voice like a broadway singer, very Idina Menzel. Whitney would've moved into mixed and head voice by that point. This "person" isn't physically singing the same way Whitney did.
Goodness Gracious.... How did I miss hearing Whitney Houston's version of defying gravity till now 😮😮😮... 😂 What an audio bliss this is!!! Gosh! I can't get enough of what I just heard! I swear I can't!
It’s weird in some spots where I know Whitney would have sounded different and would have certainly made different choices. There are parts where the soul is missing from her voice.
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 Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity And you won't bring 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 I think I'll try defying gravity And you won't bring me down Unlimited (unlimited) My future is (my future is) unlimited (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) Kiss me goodbye (defying gravity) So if you care to find me Look to the western sky As someone told me lately "Everyone deserves the chance to fly" I'm defying gravity And you won't bring me down Bring me down Bring me down
If you like this one, you’ll like this one even better. This is the new and improved version with riffs included th-cam.com/video/PCEmPqrih0k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=PARowqmgk0UPpWJd
I swear to God when I saw the trailer I thought this character was made for WH. She was misunderstood, mistreated and a force beyond her own comprehension which they killed what they could not control after she understood what was going on. YES, I SAID.
Omg I said the same thing! Whitney of all people knows what it feels like to be made fun of for skin colour, she’s powerful and assertive, and she has the most incredible belty voice, all qualities that Elphaba must have
I am letting her rest while I’m keeping her memory alive. I’m celebrating her voice. That’s not offensive or dishonouring her memory. People who wanna talk about her personal life are the ones dishonouring
@@kyletreslove I know people like you don't think certain people are people. But its a given we should let the dead rest out of common decency but that is going the way of the dodo so theres that
AI doesnt capture 'i think' the nuances. Whitney would certainly do headtones here and there and a big super resonant mid belt.. coupled with some signature riffs and runs.
Doesn’t even sound like her most of the song 🙄 It’s nice but absolutely nothing beats seeing the best of the performers who have played Elfaba live and in person.. It’s sends chills through you when they hit those power notes just right 🥶😜👍🏼
i'm sure who ever did this meant well. but not sure it's ethical. an artist's voice is theirs, specially after death. the things we do to get what we want and not respect boundaries. at least change the title of the clip and make it explicit it isn't really Whitney singing.
You woke captain save a hoes are so cringe! Y’all take life and yourselves way too seriously and you love getting “offended” on other people’s behalf cuz it gives you a sense of superiority. Go and colour in a colouring in book

This was cool to hear -- thank youuuu
woah!!!! see in my imagination whitney in stage singing this song! thanks AI
Watch my more recent version called the (ultimate version) its way better than this
WHITNEY'S VOICE IS SO AWESOME THAT IT GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND GRAVITY!!!!!
Wow, thank you so much for this!!!
Thank you for watching:) check out my most recent DG wh! It’s called the ultimate version and it’s way better than this

It’s ai
It's literally fake. Made with AI. You clearly tell it is a mechanical voice and not really Whitney, though a couple of parts do sound similar.
She's the greatest singer ever!!!!!!!!!!
Very beautiful ❤😊
I wish she recorded a whole Broadway album. Her voice was tailor made for it.
So crazy. The start of that song sounded just like her. 😢

missing a bit of soul. but close enough for good feelings. it was nice to remember. lovely. thank you.
Can you please do cinthia Erivo singing defying gravity
3:49 *_LOOK AT HER, SHE'S WHITNEEEEEYYYYYY_*
Lmao 😂
Большое спасибо за тот чудесный кавер от Ai Уитни всегда жива в наших сердцах❤
Not sure if it’s AI. Sounds like Kurt Hummel from Glee lol
Crazy
Fiercely approved!
The first notes were close but even AI can not replicate that voice… oh how I wish.
Wow
It’s weird in some spots where I know Whitney would have sounded different and would have certainly made different choices. There are parts where the soul is missing from her voice.
Wow, I never heard of this, nice indeed
That's why she is the voice ❤
Wow, this would have been a great fit & dream, missing Whitney's voice & magic 🎩
WAO... so good
I was not a fan of Whitney but now, you are awe...
Thank you! 😊
How? I'm speechless
How on earth did you make this???
This AI is out of Control and cool as hell bc yes sway I'm here for it I love it
now imagine It's Not Right but It's Okay with her '94 era vocals.
From the throw down disc!
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
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring 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
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
Unlimited (unlimited)
My future is (my future is) unlimited (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)
Kiss me goodbye (defying gravity)
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me lately
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly"
I'm defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
Bring me down
Bring me down
Just right
Can you do Ariana Grande for Defying Gravity???
Atleast the great they cant dulplicate this show you true talent cant be duplicated
I'd love to see Cynthia Erivo version
You'll be able to in 9 months!

Can u make her do wizard and I
Sure can! Coming soon and also NGD
❤❤❤❤❤🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀👏👏👏👏👏
AI can match her musicality and spontaneity , and all her little tricks and phrasing.
AI could never 💅🏾
This was a good version but Whitney's would have been magical and unforgettable.
Absolutely! No AI could capture Whitney truly
Listen to my other WH defying gravity (Riffs and growls included) th-cam.com/video/RMzSdIltHQk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rbeIshI0EolDPEEG
The main missing parts are her phrasing and her crystal clear clarity in head voice and high mixed notes
i seem to be the only one, that didn't here Whitney's voice in this song, it is close but no sorry it is still the song that makes this great
Can you please do mariah carey 90s voice for this song
Who's voice did you use as the vocal stem?
Sonnet Yun. The south Korean elphie
Sonnet son
AI shiiiiiiiiiiiiite 🎵🎶
Isso é Whitney onde?
OH, no, this is incredible especially the vibrato. AI can sing these songs? This is as a good as an average Whitney song. Scary!
This doesn’t sound like Whitney but the idea is beautiful!
This is not Whitney's voice. There's only one Whitney no one can immulate.
No shit Sherlock! Jesus can you work sjws just go away and stop taking life so seriously? Why not colour in a colouring in book with your friends
Can someone please explain to me how AI creates a replica of another artists voice?
Probably by feeding the voice into another performer's interpretation. This has Idina's inflection, so probably hers
Nice synthesized Sun Seung-Yon redo lol
Correct! I felt Sonnet’s voice would bring out Whitney’s vocals better
yeah no. this song's made around idina, this arrangement in particular. if whitney would've remade it, it would be rearranged to her vocals.
Sounds like Chris colfer from glee
Even AI doesn’t do Whitney justice
Now do her with For Good
That’s a good idea! I didn’t think of that
This is AI ,you can hear the original through the Whitney Style Voice bend.
Soulless no offensive. It's best to let people rest
I am letting her rest while I’m keeping her memory alive. I’m celebrating her voice. That’s not offensive or dishonouring her memory. People who wanna talk about her personal life are the ones dishonouring
Did you get her permission ..?

@@MichaelBooke it’s sick
If the title didn’t name it was supposed to be her, I would have never guessed. It sounds nothing like her
Whitney has a better elphaba look that that woman they chose for the movie !
Is this for real ?
Is it me or does the picture look more like Rupaul
AI doesnt capture 'i think' the nuances. Whitney would certainly do headtones here and there and a big super resonant mid belt.. coupled with some signature riffs and runs.
Even some of the pronunciations are clearly not Whitney but rather Idina Menzel.
Actually Idina is not used here at all. The singer is Sonnet Yeon
It sounded very plain Whitney voice 😅 AI is still not there yet
It's Chris Colfer from Glee
No it’s not. It’s sonnet yeon the Korean Elphaba 2021 - 2022
Doesn’t even sound like her most of the song 🙄 It’s nice but absolutely nothing beats seeing the best of the performers who have played Elfaba live and in person.. It’s sends chills through you when they hit those power notes just right 🥶😜👍🏼
Naaaaaaaaaaah.
Imagine if she was the replacement for Idina Mednzel
Super interesting. The voice is really great and sounds like her, but the singing style doesn't seem to be hers.
Whitney's voice kinda roundy big like sound so she does not really fit well with the voice of witch which is very thin and twangy
AI, you can tell. All the top and bottom levels are cut off.
Ok, but what if Wicked was made in the 80's or 90's and Whitney Houston played Elphaba?
That’s what I dream of! Whitney would’ve redefined this role! The only problem is I’d feel bad for the elphabas after her cuz no one could measure up
Everyone must be hearing something I'm not. Because this sounds nothing like Whitney or her tone. AI missed this one. lol
i'm sure who ever did this meant well. but not sure it's ethical. an artist's voice is theirs, specially after death. the things we do to get what we want and not respect boundaries. at least change the title of the clip and make it explicit it isn't really Whitney singing.
It’s so robotic 😂😂😂😭😭😭
THATS NOT WHITNEY. THATS IDINA MENZEL
As much as I love Whitney I can't help but feel this is SO wrong on so many different levels.😞
The Refrain is not whitney😂
