such an amazing, wonderful, powerful song. never get tired of hearing it. stephen schwartz really did hit gold with this one, as well as with defying gravity.
A genius of our time. As said in the comments before, the best written song of musical theatre that I can remember in my 50 odd years. We are blessed to have lived in the same era as Stephen Swartz and Wicked. Thank you for life changing moments ❤
This song is beautiful and powerful. No matter what my feeling is, every time I hear this song, always make me in tears because of the honesty and respect and true friendship between two people.
I think he just really gets into playing the song and singing it and just forgets that he was only supposed to play the first verse. And I think that's amazing.
I love this! Hearing it from the composer tells us how it truly sounds. Love this song! I'm a navy brat so I move around every three years, so I have to say good bye a lot. My favorite line is It well may be that we will never meet again. So much of me is made of what I learned from you. Those are so relative to my life.
I've lost touch with the music of Wicked lately, but this is the third performance I've seen of "For Good" this week. Between Lea Michele and Chris Colfer on Glee, Kristen Chenoweth on Idol, and Stephen Schwartz here, I don't think I can handle the awesomeness (and I mean that in the true sense of the word).
One of the very best songs of all time. Melody, lyrics, voice-writing, character emphasis ... I could go on and on. I wish he'd given more insight into the fabulous metaphors he chose to use!
Can anyone explain the small physical gesture he keeps making with his left hand as he takes it off the keyboard while playing the piano? You can see him doing it in videos way back in the early 70s and to this day, but I've never seen anyone else do it.
@shamw0wable i sorta have the same thing! Im moving 2 a new skool and im leaving all my closest friends! I goin 2 make a good-bye video 4 them with this being the song in the background!

This man is one of the great living geniuses of our time. Deserves way more accolades. A true gift to humanity.

I absolutely love this song. So very beautiful.
i've always loved this song, but hearing it sung by stephen schwartz, just makes it all the much better in my mind.
The Song flows on his hand..
“This is how the first verse goes’
*proceeds to sing the whole song
I think he just really gets into playing the song and singing it and just forgets that he was only supposed to play the first verse. And I think that's amazing.
@@foxtatertot I think you're right.
@@foxtatertot that happens to everyone who sings it, no? I certainly always sing it straight through, both parts
THIS SONG ...... =')
that is all I will say about it.

As time goes on, this song means more and more to me 🥺

A true broadway clasic! I love it so much!
So good. Thank you!
awesome!!!! voice!!!!!!!! you're biggest wicked fan G.G from NYC =)
He should play the Wizard... Just... Please, Musical Universe... Please....
I hope that he kept that piece of paper where he took notes from what his daughter said, that wound up being the first verse!
emotion-overkill!
Everyone says he should be the wizard. Look at the giant oz head more closely
😮
He's got a good voice, but hes not broadway good enough to actually be in the musical
@@waffleman4137tbf the wizard part doesnt really require an amazing vocalist

It looks like he’s wiping a tear
I think that’s a habit developed in coaching session with the singers and music director, he is giving an exaggerated musical rest.
I’m sorry, I’m crying watching this
Same, every time.
Big smile!
@Italiagirl9 he's is broadway god
@emzicentauri Oops. She was on Oprah, not Idol. Though, with all of the celebrities and the feel of that episode, it could have been Idol.
I hope I can sing it tomorrow... We have a test for music but my voice hurt... :(
How'd it go?
How’d it go? x2
Whoa, I didn't realize that "For Good" was a double entendre but it obviously is! For good meaning where their meant to be, and for goodness sake!
That’s not the double entendre
It’s “for good” as in, permanently
And “for good” as in, for the better
@@SeanyGOneTwoThree lol...Doing God's work
@shamw0wable i sorta have the same thing! Im moving 2 a new skool and im leaving all my closest friends! I goin 2 make a good-bye video 4 them with this being the song in the background!
