      I still love the version of Rachelle Ann go though Rachelle belt out some of the high notes thinly but she can still belt it out thickly, I don't like the enunciation of lea salonga here too much stresses and emphasis!!!

      @@honeybadger469 The song was written for a heavier voiced singer. Lea is a light lyric making her voice unsuitable for the song creativity wise of course. That's the problem.

      well if you try to spend lots of times to be really really close to the notes(chords scales) and the rythems.
      Then you can start to feel little bit of something moving from
      your inside which is the fundamental of improvisation.
      The more mistakes you make
      The more sensible jazz player you could be I think.

    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 pull me down
    I'm through accepting limits
    'Cause someone says they're so
    Some things I cannot change
    But 'til 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 that just a vision of almost like a prophecy
    I know its sounds to be crazy
    True the vision hazy but I swear someday ill be
    Open the sky defying gravity
    Flying so high defying gravity
    And you cant 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 am defying gravity!
    I'm flying high, defying gravity!
    And soon, I'll match them in renown
    And nobody in all of Oz
    No wizard that there is or was
    Is ever gonna bring me down!
    Bring me down!
    Ohhhhh

      Sorry, I’ve seen Wicked many times on Broadway and twice on the West End, and I can name at least 10 actresses who could perform this way better than Idina, who simply screams all the high notes in this song using her very Daisy-Duck squeaky voice. One of the worst ever.

      I mean if you take the part into consideration, Elphaba is supposed to be much younger, and Lea’s voice has matured and deepened quite a bit, which isn’t bad, but like for higher pitch songs like this, it’s not ideal. I personally really like Lea Michelle’s cover of this song. She can go higher with the notes and have a better tone for it...just my opinion, but this was a very good cover, the high notes just didn’t do it for me🤷🏻‍♀️

    • @afanofgreatsingers6674
      @afanofgreatsingers6674 4 года назад +2

      Best cover, indeed! A very beautiful voice, a healthy, smooth chest-headtone mix, and more importantly, no screaming! I have heard many versions of this song and most singers either just scream the high notes or have annoyingly squeaky or poor quality vocals (beginning with the very horrible Idina Menzel).
