    "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" -- nothing has meant more to me than this.

      I can belt it in my Mixed/falsetto.
      Sounds like a Belt but the technique is kinda how Lady Gaga Sings Shallow. Lots of space in the mouth and singing the notes in a clear "Wow" tone to help get pitch accuracy and belting out. And then switch to lyrics while trying to maintain an open vowel shape

    When I listened to this for the first time the line 'If you care to find me, look to the western sky!' I almost fell over. This song is a better origin story than Oz the Great and Powerful.

      AS much as I like it better with her born from green elixcer instead of eating an apple, the reason why I think they're equally good is their both visually beautiful and have a teeny bit similar dark but occasionally funny tone.

      Street Deacon The way she sings is very unhealthy, she screams instead of belting. It’s why she can’t riff some notes in this song, like a lot of other Elphaba’s do. She also is constantly out of breath, and has to slide up to notes at the climax instead of hitting them.

    What's particularly interesting about the style of Wicked is its scale. Every song (even the quiet ones) feels so BIG and grand. That's probably thanks to Stephen Schwartz, the composer. He worked on The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Pocahontas (Disney) and The Prince of Egypt. This guy can bring on the emotions.

    GLINDA
    (spoken) Elphaba - why couldn't you have just stayed calm for once, instead of flying off the handle!
    (sung) I hope you're happy!
    I hope you're happy now
    I hope you're happy how you
    Hurt your cause forever
    I hope you think you're clever!
    ELPHABA
    I hope you're happy
    I hope you're happy, too
    I hope you're proud how you
    Would grovel in submission
    To feed your own ambition2
    BOTH
    Somehow I can't imagine how
    I hope you're happy right now
    GLINDA
    (spoken) Elphie, listen to me. Just say you're sorry:
    (sung) You can still be with the Wizard
    What you've worked and waited for
    You can have all you ever wanted:
    Lyrics continue below
    ELPHABA
    (spoken) I know:
    (sung) But I don't want it -
    No - I can't want it
    Anymore:
    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!
    GLINDA
    Can't I make you understand? You're
    having delusions of grandeur
    ELPHABA
    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
    And you can't pull me down:
    (spoken) Glinda, come with me. Think of what we could
    do, together.
    (sung) Unlimited
    Together we're unlimited
    Together we'll be the greatest team
    There's ever been
    Glinda -
    Dreams, the way we planned 'em
    GLINDA
    If we work in tandem:
    BOTH
    There's no fight we cannot win
    Just you and I
    Defying gravity
    With you and I
    Defying gravity
    ELPHABA
    They'll never bring us down!
    (spoken) Well? Are you coming?
    GLINDA
    I hope you're happy
    Now that you're choosing this
    ELPHABA
    (Spoken) You too
    (Sung) I hope it brings you bliss
    BOTH
    I really hope you get it
    And you don't live to regret it
    I hope you're happy in the end
    I hope you're happy, my friend:
    ELPHABA
    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'd 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!
    GLINDA
    I hope you're happy!
    CITIZENS OF OZ
    Look at her, she's wicked!
    Get her!
    ELPHABA
    Bring me down!
    CITIZENS OF OZ
    No one mourns the wicked
    So we've got to bring her
    ELPHABA
    Ahhh!
    CITIZENS OF OZ
    Down!

    "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!" "And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free" "and nobody, in all of Oz, no wizard that there is, or was, is ever gonna bring me down!" favourite lines from the entire character. I watched the live performance three days ago, and at these points you could feel the Elphaba's devestation and determination. Groundbreaking musical!

    I just saw Wicked this pass weekend. Was my 1st Broadway directed play! I had heard about Wicked long before I actually saw it, even listened to the songs when watching animatics on RUclips. Defying Gravity was one of them, and the play just blew me away with this song! It's my fav

    If there were ever a time in history to not be paired off with a person that is dangerous to your soul, it is now. Be smart and be decisive and look for support.
