- Clip From Live show 8 of I'd Do Anything. Samantha sings 'Defying Gravity' from 'Wicked'. Amazing show and great performance from Sam considering that the song is about 6 minutes long and designed for 2 women. She got my vote this week.
Seriously, they should consider her for Elphaba in a Wicked film. She can sing the role for sure, she looks the role, and she's famous enough to do it.
@Team Queen’ s Fearn Tucker and Bentley Forever thank you, that was jsut plain bad from start to finish.
ok her voice doenst have the strenght or spektrum, fine, but then the timing, so like no feeling for rymth and worst part was that acting. it just looks like she is an actor trying hard to act an act and overdoing it too.
i came her after hering a not so bad version of another song of her, and she do have an interresting voice but this is 4 numbers to big. celine dion? no way ever not even close. and someone should punch the judges into their couches for lying so much. wow im dissapointed in that performance
17 years old when she did this, amazing talent.
and she's now a movie star.
They'd better seriously consider her for the Wicked film. I know they'll make one, but I don't know how soon. But at 23, she's got some plenty of years left before she grows out of the role.
I wish this comment would've aged better
If I was the camera man, filming Idina Menzel and Sam Barks in the same room.... I don't think I'd be able to breathe.
I love Samantha Barks! She is so amazing! She sang "Defying Gravity", my life is now complete...
I love Samantha Barks!
she was obviously extremely talented, but wow, it's amazing how far she has come. very cool to see.
guys, you're saying she's pitchy...she's 17 for goodness sake, she's amazing and i'm the biggest wicked critic of covers
Am biggest fan off samantha barks in I do anything she is fantastic and telneted gril
She's amazing here! But when u here her sing now, it's amazing to here the improvement!!
LOL "Rachel needs to take a leap out of your book" if you only knew, darling. If you only knew.
Sam is the reason I fell in love with Wicked, first time I heard the song was her singing it and I've been obsessed every since.
Amazing. Started out in I'd Do Anything, and now, she's a leading lady in West End and did Eponine in the Les Mis movie.
This video always brings tears to my eyes.
Contestants on this type of programme are so much more talented than anything like X Factor, they have to have an incredibly powerful voice as well as be able to act and dance at the same time. I have so much more respect for West End performers. Half the X Factor contestants wouldn't last 5 minutes on this show.
As much as I like the singers on "Strictly", imagine if Sam had sung this when Frankie and Kevin danced to it!
made me cry. She is amazing.
Rachel needed to take a leaf out of her book?!... But now she's the one playing Elphaba on Broadway. Gowan Rachel :)
Don´t you just love when Denise says. "actually Rachel has to take a leaf out of your book..." ?! If they only knew who would rock that song a few years later!! All cred to Samantha, she truly is marvelous:) I hope she one day will play Elphaba, but come on... it´s so much fun watching this knowing where some of them end up:D
Weber compared her voice to Celine Dion that is a serious compliment. Sam is just amazing, knew she was a star the first time I saw her 25th anniversary version of Eponine.
She looks drop dead gorgeous full stop lol. Great choice of song and great to see shes in a show now. Most likely because of the program!
She is so good. Loved her as Eponine
Bless her crying when she was talking about meeting Idina! I'd never be able to sing in front of someone I admired so much!
little did she know she'd be a star in one of the most internationally popular plays/movies (les mis)
ME TOO!!! it looks really nice on her!
honestly I think Sam is amazing, I think this is brilliant for where she was at the time!! And you guys have to remember that denise and rachel worked together on Rent before this show so she knows her quite well.. All in all two amazing talents that have come bigger because of this show
She looks drop dead gorgeous in that dress!!!!!!!!! xxx
Funny how they are now both Elsa
3:39 you see a little bit of Elphaba emerging... when hollwood starts auditioning for the film, she should audition. She has amazing potential inside of her, and she's screaming to come out
For a second I thought Denise was referring to Rachel playing Elphaba and then they showed her and reminded me she was on the show too!
I love Samantha!! lol
Am I the only who thought, "OH MY STARS! IS CAPTAIN JACK!!!"?
Yes since I wrote that comment, I too have read in the paper that next year he will look for a Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Scheduled for next March if all goes to plan. All I can say is they will have to make it pretty damn spectacular for the Wizard of Oz to succeed as a long running west end show.
Really hope they pick her for Elpheba in the movie of wicked, Samantha Barks & Amanda Seyfried would be the perfect pairing for Elpheba & Glinda. Add in Meryl Streep as Madam Morrible, Kelsey Grammer as the wizard, Daniel Radcliffe for Boc, Zac Effron or Jeremy Jordan for Fieyro & maybe Leah Michelle for Nessa & you'd have the perfect cast.
You're joking, right? Amanda Seyfried is awful! She RUINED Les Mis.
@@shawnpavlik1293I agree Amanda was good in mamma Mia but I don't think she was good enough to be in Les mis
The fact that now they have both been Elsa is crazy
She's so brilliant!!! Defied gravity indeeeeeeed!
i would probably kill for her voice... and to meet Idina... and ALW...
Wow, that is really exciting for Sam to meet Idina Menzel! That is so cool.
she was really weak at the beginning, but it was really good when it got more upbeat.
her control is to die for! amazing! :D
I LOVE Samantha Barks!!!!!!!
Actually i think she did superbly. If you have seen the show then it is pretty much how they do it. Obviously it will come across better actually sung in Wicked as you have all the costumes and atmosphere and more importantly the build up to the song. Sam Did everything that was asked of her and more. And she did the final bit without the back up cast or Glinda doing her part.
Seeing defying gravity as part of Wicked will blow you away and you can understand more why it is performed that way
Sam is seriously amazing. FLAWLESS.
I love idina menzel shes amazing !
goose bumps, goose bumps, goose bumps
wow
she is amazing
for 17
wow
x
same...i love that dress! x
loved this performance
I didn't know she was British. My mind is blown.
I noticed that too! Bless her, the show won't be the same this weekend. :(
About Sam's performance, I thought she was amazing!
I think she does a really good version of this song. LOVE her dress! :)
she was amazing in les miserables u did well lady, and you deserved it u didn't get oz but u had a hit with russell crowe and hugh jackman lady worth more than the winner got lol wd xx
LOVE SAMANTHA!!!
That would be awesome!!!
She surprised me that she didn't go up, " And if you care to find me, Look to the Western skies." She didn't get that high powerful note . She still did and unbelievable job, but it just surprised me she didn't reach for that powerful part.
When Elsa met Elsa 🥺
she should totally be cast as the next Elphaba! she is amazing! this gave me chills...
John Barrowman...... love him.
Oh, and Sam was pretty good ;)
I have to say: her final "Meeee Down" is perfectly on pitch -- just wish she'd done the second bring me down and the final "aaahhhh" -- that would've made it for me........she's good though.
Wicked is going to be adapted into a film i believe. and i really would love to see her as Elphaba
Can I like this a million times??
i have the smae bday as idina lol i love this songs and she sang it great
to the doubters can I Just say Samantha is amazing talent, and ohh look hollywood are now beckoning and rachel yes she is playing elpheba and playing it amazingly and I have seen her, but Samantha has grown soo much as a performer and will now be playing Eponine in the hollywood movie version of Les Miserables GO SAMANTHA !
phenomenal
Amen, brother.
i love this girl since i saw her playing Eponine in the 25th anniversary of Les Miserables
freakin incredible, and love the dress!
They are talking about doing a Wicked movie, and I read that she is being considered to play Elphaba. After her amazing performance as Eponine on the West End and in the movie, I think the choice is clear. Samantha all the way!!!!
les mis is AMAZING. i recommend you go and see it :) When i went to see it i was front row and the view was great. And i think at the back its probably great. Its very touching! :) its a great show. If you love musicals you will love it.
Love x
LMAO, Idina's like, "What the hell are you doing to that song?" XD
ah i laugh everytime at 2:45 ALW clearly didnt relise he was about to be filmed readjusting himself!! LOL great performance!!
Please tell me that Samantha Barks won the competition!!! LOVE HER!!!
Fierce as hell performance!!!
Denise's comment about Rachel learning from Sam's performance ranks as perhaps the most ironic comment by a judge all time in all of the talent shows.
her voice is defying gravity
Oh and like, she was SO amazing in Les Miz :D
Can anyone find a karaoke of this version? I know it was a band, but this is my ALL TIME favorite song and this is my favorite solo version!
ohh that is soooo cool! i really hoped some one would sing defying gravity and they did! and they got Idina!!! and i met her!!! she was sooooooooo nice!!!
LOL@1:03
Idina looks so shocked and is just like O.O
And rachel was watching this backstage completely unaware that shed be singing this 8 shows a week, and being labled as "the best elphaba ever"...
OMG! She met Idina and got a singing lesson from her!!! :D So lucky!
I would love to see her as Elphie!
Her and Danielle from series ten r so similarities : they look the same , they r both 17 , they r both my favourites and the both won
I believe she can do much better now! I hope she considers being Elphaba in near future🤩
Is this how Samantha's fame/career started?? (And she has sung in the West End! lol! They knew a star when they saw one!) I'm from the US so of course we didn't get this show here. But this is like American Idol, is it not? She rose from this show to being a famous broadway singer??
Well, honestly, I hope Samantha here gets to play the role soon.
gosh she should be in the West End showing of Wicked as Elphaba or at least an under study for the character
L.A. loves Samantha!
Bravo everyone, the top two comments are negative. Give her some credit!
good performance
how sweet is idina at the start
sum one said she wud be good playing elphie .. im not sure dont fink shes got the power to perform the massive role 8 times a week
Funny reading this comment when Samantha now plays Elsa in the west end 8 times a week !
I swear to glob I was just talking to my cousin about...if they ever EVER decide to do a Wicked movie. Based on the musical...they'd need to get her as Elphie like omglob, she was really awesome as Eponine in Les Mis an' her solo was one of the best ones in the movie. I'd looooooove to see her as Elphie omglob
Go and see Billy Elliot, it will blow your mind, I saw wicked in Melbourne last week, and it was amazing!
Does anyone know when a new show like this is going to be on the bbc this year?
chester did this song in his audition
@Lollibowpopx YESS!!! 2014 can't come fast enough!!!
If she had waited 2 years, she'd have won the part of Dorothy
I think she did a great job. I find that most people who hate on her version of the song love Rachel. I like Rachel and yes, she does an amazing job. But Sam did well. She's only 17 here. Yes, Rachel's playing Elphaba, but Samantha's doing Eponine. Both are good. Stop arguing about it.
Although I like how Cynthia Erivo performs, I really would’ve loved to see Samantha Barks as Elphaba in the Wicked film
Because this is such a legendary song, and Sam has to follow in amzingly god singers like kerry ellis and idina, i think she got nervous, cos quite a few of her notes are slightly flat, but the most important ones are sung so powerfully!
she shouted the high note at Idina's face!!! funny. I wonder if Rachel had done this, would it have been as fantastic as she is now?
I'd love to see Sam play Elphaba on Broadway or the West End! And with Sierra Boggess as her Glinda!
do you want dove cameron plays glinda (seriously,i think dove will fit for the role,she played"the one who originated glinda'' 's daugter in "descendants" and "hairspray live")
Lea Salonga sang this song in a concert and brought the house to its feet.. Well she is after all a Tony Award Winning performer.. you can see it here.. watch?v=jHGCEqxLOGE in you tube..)
Samantha is so young here and her accomplishments are so similar to Lea.. for sure she will be as great.... maybe even better!!!!
