    She's the voice that made fall in love with this song and Wicked the first time I saw the show on stage in 2007 - still LOVE her performances :) Forever that iconic "loooook"!

      I mean it’s to each there own with style esp a song that’s been out for so long and there so many versions! So depending on how it’s done I don’t mind ppl making it there own! However I do agree that I love her version! Though she still is doing slight runs and etc there just subtle 😊

      Actually, I think Idina Menzel was cast in this role originally precisely because her voice wasn't so pretty and sweet. Some characters aren't supposed to be beautiful.

      Powerful song and outstanding music. I get goosebumps every time I hear it, regardless of which "Elphaba" sings it. And I'm an old man who is not a fan of musicals, as a rule.

      Keeping the mouth as open as possible in a grin is a singing technique to control the soft palette

    Something has changed within me.
    Something is not the same,
    I'm though with playing by the rules of
    Someone else's games.
    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
    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
    Too much too high a cost
    I'd sooner buy defying gravity
    Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity
    And you won't bring me down
    Unlimited...
    My future is
    unlimited
    And I 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
    Up in the sky Defying Gravity
    Kiss me goodbye I'm Defying Gravity
    And you can't pull me down
    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
    Tell them how I'm
    Defying Gravity
    I'm flying high defying Gravity
    And soon Ill match them in renown
    And nobody in all of Oz
    No wizard that there is
    Or was
    Is ever gonna bring
    Meeee
    Dowwn
    Ohhh

    This song hit me so hard because of the lyrics, i gave all i had in a toxic relationship and its been over for 1,5 years still i find myself depressed and i try to get better in therapy and now i heard this song because of a stupid coincidence (airport musical from SNL i wanted to check the original song)
    I sat there listening to the lyrics and crying because i felt so strong and i felt something else but sadness and loss for the first time in more than a year i cant describe how powerful i felt all of a sudden! My future is unlimited and ill give it a try and defy gravity, thanks to whoever wrote this song and to jake because i came here from an SNL skit because of his part
