I don't understand why people have to argue on every video of an Elphaba singing. Rachel, Idina, Willemijn, Louise, etc. were all amazing Elphaba's. Otherwise, they would've never made it to West End, Broadway, Stuttgart, etc. They all have their own personal styles and I think every Elphaba does a fantastic job of portraying the role in her own way.
its a shame I saw her 2 weeks before her final performance and I had no idea she was leaving, she was fantastic and I WAS hoping to see her in it again.
I was referring to the immense night that was Rachel's album launch last Thurs and I can gladly confirm that her recording of DG simply blows all other recordings including original Broadway version away:)
If you compare this to her 2011 performance you can clearly her that the orchestra appear to miss out the third and fourth lines of the first section but, as a profession, Rachel realises this and just picks it up. Well done!
Hell yeah! Think we're all praying for that, less than 24 hrs before we find out!!! If she has recorded a traditional version then it will blow the Broadway recording out of the water!!!!
Lydia Bentley Because everyone was cheering when she came on, she didn't hear the introduction , and she came in on " Something is not the same" but she sang " Something has changed within me" :)

Same here. I really don't think Idina is that good. I wish they would have chosen somebody else to play Elsa in the movie Frozen. At least for the singing.

Oh I am so agree with you. Each Elphaba, each Glinda, each Fiyero has their own uniqueness and they are all special
THANK YOU. ❤️
"I'm through....too late for second guessing" that made me laugh for some reason.
She is freaking amazing !!!!!
There are a LOT of good Elphie's but RT to me is hands down the best
Paul Golden she is!!!
citric2acid she was, is and ever will be
WHHAAAAT!?!? Where the hell did that "look to the western sky" come from? That was amazing.
The electricity of this performance is palpable!
dat growwll, go gurl!!!
its a shame I saw her 2 weeks before her final performance and I had no idea she was leaving, she was fantastic and I WAS hoping to see her in it again.
Saw wicked and every time I hear her voice I get chills x
Glee should be ashamed of even recording their version of this one, there's no one better than Rachel Tucker to sing defying gravity.
I just watched Louise Derman in 2013 and its not even close to be as good !!! Rachel Tucker is my favorite I would marry this woman!
"Can I just also do that?" haha! And then Rachel just casually walks off stage. It's like, I WANNA BE RACHEL TOO!!! ha! Xx Love ya Rachy!!
this was so perfect!!! what an ending!!!
So so in love with Rachel Tucker as Elphie - can't even handle it. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
#allthegrowls So, so, so amazing.
shes so amazing, can't believe I met that women two years ago, love her!
She did the dynamics perfectly! Wow!
really love her version of defying gravity!!
please let this version be on her album!! LOVE HER
obviously, she is amazing

rachel is the best omgggg
I honestly think that she was born to play Elphaba!!
If you compare this to her 2011 performance you can clearly her that the orchestra appear to miss out the third and fourth lines of the first section but, as a profession, Rachel realises this and just picks it up. Well done!
She came in too late. There's no live orchestra.
Hell yeah! Think we're all praying for that, less than 24 hrs before we find out!!! If she has recorded a traditional version then it will blow the Broadway recording out of the water!!!!
RACHEL TUCKER GROWL YES GIRL
by far my favourite Elphaba :))
Rachel for sure!
so glad i was there
Omg I love her so much :'(
I miss her as Elphaba ..
The tucker growl!!!!!!! Fuck yeah!!!! No one tops her cept willemijn but that's a diff story.
love this song .its a shame shes left she was defffently the best to play elphaba.good luck for future the future.
Must be Elphaba on Broadway
+MsWickedWolf now she is!!! ;)
+CherAnn Macuroy T yeah she is , I saw her in November and omg I still have the shivers when seeing this video
Indina has no power in her voice what so ever, Rachel actually has talent
Absolutely amazing- but I'm a little confused what went wrong at the beginning?

i was there and will be again this year !!!!!!!! amazing day out and it was free !!
Damn that growl!!!!!
Rachel Tucker, amazing! Best Elphaba :) going from the Broadway soundtrack she kicks Idinas butt!!
Always felt the same!
oh the growl :)
Agrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaah-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
@loulee what do you mean how will we find this out?
woah :0
rachel tucker or idina menzel?
i love her i wanna marrie her
*lhgkrhurgn* She gives me goosebumps!!
It does have one dislike. But idk I still like Idina Menzel as Elphaba more. Rachael is good, I just like Idina more...
She takes a shower and scrubs really well! ;)
kerry ellis is all im gunna say ( the best ever )
If she wasn't good then this video would at least have one dislike!
I've never like Idina, I think Rachel's more Elphaba than her. But, hey, that's just my opinion, right?
Same here. I really don't think Idina is that good. I wish they would have chosen somebody else to play Elsa in the movie Frozen. At least for the singing.
Well this is awkward
Skeptical.
I'm sorry, but no one beats Idina Menzel in my opinion
Are you for real?
Rachel Tucker will never be as good as Idina Menzel!
Idina is and will always be the queen and own that song!
When did she say she was better than idina
Oooo she wasn't too good...geez...certain notes were pitchy, and her falsetto was horrible. Not that I could do any better
