    This is by. Far. The best male cover I've ever heard of this song! I can't believe it took me 10 years to find this!

    I just got into Wicked this past autumn and I'm in awe of the freedom this song represents. I never really thought this could be set in a key that was comfortable for a male voice, but after hearing this, I've even gotten the courage to learn it. Thanks a lot for showing us that it can be done!

    I discovered your cover in 2017 and I am still listening to it right now. The first time I listen to it, I wasn't even able to understand the lyrics because I am french and I wasn't fluent yet. But today, I am very proud to be able to tell you : You're awesome dude, keep going, it's just amazing !

    I like no I love the fact that he made the song his own! So many other versions I've heard on UA-cam they try to match the original. you got to make it your own and everybody said he's slayed I agree with all of you that man slayed it!

    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
    Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
    And you won't bring me down
    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
    I think I'll try defying gravity
    And you won't bring me down
    Unlimited (unlimited)
    My future is (my future is) unlimited (unlimited)
    And I've just had a vision, almost like a prophecy
    I know, it sounds truly crazy
    And true, the vision's hazy
    But I swear, someday I'll be
    Flying so high (defying gravity)
    Kiss me goodbye (defying gravity)
    So if you care to find me
    Look to the western sky
    As someone told me lately
    "Everyone deserves the chance to fly"
    I'm defying gravity
    And you won't bring me down
    Bring me down
    Bring me down

    Elphaba, why couldn't you have stayed calm, for once!
    Instead of flying off the handle!
    I hope you're happy
    I hope you're happy now
    I hope you're happy how you've
    Hurt your cause forever
    I hope you think you're clever
    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 ambition
    So though I can't imagine how
    I hope you're happy
    Right now
    Elphie, listen to me.
    Just say you're sorry!
    You can still be with the Wizard
    What you've worked and waited for
    You can have all you ever wanted
    I know
    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
    Can't I make you understand
    You're having delusions of grandeur?
    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!
    Glinda, come with me.
    Think of what we could do together!
    Unlimited
    Together we're unlimited
    Together we'll be the greatest team
    There's ever been, Glinda!
    Dreams the way we planned 'em
    If we work in tandem
    There's no fight we cannot win
    Just you and I, defying gravity
    With you and I defying gravity
    They'll never bring us down!
    Well, are you coming?
    I hope you're happy
    Now that your choosing this
    You too
    I hope it brings you bliss
    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
    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!
    I hope you're happy
    Look at her
    She's wicked
    Get her!
    Bring me down!
    No one mourns the wicked
    So we got to bring her
    Ah!
    Down!

    decent voice. I can appreciate that finally a guy when singing didn't try to actually sing (butcher) like a female. But given that the song is written for a witch in the show, a female part, there's a reason why a female sings it. And there's also a reason why a guy doesn't.

      It's in two different keys. It's been lowered 3 half steps from the original key (I think), and the singer is singing an octave lower.
