im confused by the other person in the comment section w my username BUT I am the real Amanda Barise lol. This was so much fun, thank you Dan and Third Reprise for having me ❤❤
It is weird. If you read her bio “ Amanda just turned 14 years old & is a Soul/R&B vocalist. Amanda loves to perform in front of a live audience and is the youngest to ever perform at The Legendary Cotton Club in NYC and is a two-time Apollo Theater winner in NYC.”
Except his ‘surprises’ are usually completely ridiculous - like why would they send a blind girl on a dangerous journey rather than one of the adults who know about the outside world just slipping away in the night to get some penicillin?
Honestly, the level of musicianship and precision is mind boggling. I can’t wrap my mind around how you all found each other and pulled this off. It’s perfection and a true gift to us all. Damn.
okay I came in salty af, prepared to hate this song set to funk. I was dancing in my seat about 10 seconds in, and I'm sorry for being a jerk. That was SO fun and beautiful and wonderful and thank you guys!
Oh this did NOT disappoint. Heard a preview of this on TikTok and had to come here straight away. The groove is sensational and it sounds SUBLIME through my speakers - what a mix. Incredible work all!!!
Amanda is incredible here! And also want to shout out the WRITING of this rendition. Time signature work must have been a nightmare to keep this tune in the funk/disco pocket. Awesome work everyone!
Who else has listened to this cover on repeat😂... Am obsessed❤❤❤❤Where you been hiding gal??? 😊😊. Lots of love, hugs and kisses.... Simply the best cover ever in the whole wide world 😊
Instant subscribe, that was fantastic! Evoking a lot of Lawrence, The Main Squeeze, Scary Pockets, Melt, and so many other incredible modern funk/soul bands, but with a Broadway twist! Better take my screenshots of your 2,000 subs now so I can say I knew you when, because y'all are gonna skyrocket!!
MINDBLOWN! My words cannot do this Justice. But as a funk lover, gospel lover, musical theatre lover, and arranger, I’m so in awe. And y’all so talented too!
This is the best thing I’ve ever heard. I felt pure joy. I knew every word, but was surprised by every unfolding musical arrangement. The voice. The ending? Full body chills!
This is one of my favourite videos, not only for the sheer display of musical talent and ability, but also just to watch everyone’s facial expressions.
I am literally speechless! This cover and this twist on this ICONIC song is absolutely amazing! I would have never put two and two together oh my gosh sooooo good
Guys… you smashed this. The exceptional reharms, the brilliantly syncopated funk grooves that accentuate the vocals, the lush BV harms, the tasteful and not even slightly overwritten horn lines, the epic lead vocals. This is ACE!! I hope it gets you somewhere and people pay good money to hear you, you more than deserve it! 💖💖💖
This is the best version of this song I have seen. You guys did something amazing here, and as a fellow musician, I am so incredibly happy to see so much musicianship in this. You rock! :)
1. She used to be mine 2. What baking can do 3. I’m here 4. All of Newsies 😂 5. Waving thru a window 6. You’ll be back I’ll literally go on forever so imma stop at 6. 😂
So amazing. I don't even particularly care for Wicked and this was amazing. Some of this I'd love to see just because I don't have the vision to imagine the funk treatment given to it.... some of it because I like it.... but you guys *have* to keep this going. :) Stellar. 1. All That Jazz (too close, genre-wise?) 2. La Vie Boheme (Rent) 3. .... any of Six 4. Luck Be A Lady (Guys 'n Dolls) 5. Being Alive (Company) 6. Hand In My Pocket (Jagged Little Pill) - although maybe it's weird to do what's essentially a cover of a cover of Morissette? :) 7. Rhythm of the Night (Moulin Rouge) (same problem as #6?) 8. ... any of Shucked just because I want to see if you can do it? :-) 🙂 Man. I could go on and on. Such good stuff. I hope you stick with it.
I’m obsessed! It’s like the musical version of Brasstracks.. I’m definitely going to the tour whenever that happens! The harmonies are literally from heaven. I’d love to see something from the wiz next!!!
Omg, seeing this go viral on tiktok made me actually watch Wicked for the first time the other day. Amazing story. And this is an amazing funk rendition of the song. 1000/10
Amazing! Like absolutely phenomenal work! The power in this cover is insane and I didn't know I needed a funk cover of Defying Gravity but this delivered!!!
What a great collaboration of all the talented musicians! Phenomenal work, I have this track on repeat now :) Wonderful!! Cheers from Vancouver Canada.
The arrangement is sooo good, Amanda and the other singers have an incredible blending, and the musicians, OMG. Where can I see/hear you in concert? I have goose bumps all over, my soul came alive! Yow!
This is one of the best things I have heard in a long time. Combining my love for musicals and funk is a dream and what an incredible job you did! Thanks for blessing our ears with this glory 🔥🔥
This track is out EVERYWHERE 2/16/24 - much love 🫶🤘
Will be purchasing! Good Lord this was good!!!
It's not 2/16/24 til tomorrow@@hamishmccolm6870

@@aaronole77 @amandabarise ATE!!! Do you hear me?!
That last minute had more surprises than an M Knight Shyamalan script
Never let em know your next move
LMAOOO
This comment is fucking hilarious 😂
Except his ‘surprises’ are usually completely ridiculous - like why would they send a blind girl on a dangerous journey rather than one of the adults who know about the outside world just slipping away in the night to get some penicillin?
What was the surprise? The song stayed pretty consistent throughout the whole thing.
Honestly, the level of musicianship and precision is mind boggling. I can’t wrap my mind around how you all found each other and pulled this off. It’s perfection and a true gift to us all. Damn.

Isn’t UA-cam a streaming platform…?
okay I came in salty af, prepared to hate this song set to funk. I was dancing in my seat about 10 seconds in, and I'm sorry for being a jerk. That was SO fun and beautiful and wonderful and thank you guys!
So much more fun to love things than being salty!
Proving for you to try to have a more open mind to new things ehh!😊
I love it when UA-cam comes up with some random suggestion and you find out it's actually a f masterpiece! 😁
Was just thinking the same!

Al Jarreau meets Elphaba. So many layers..Screaming horns.

Mix by the genius Hannah Tobias. find her on insta: @_w_h_y_s_
OH HELP ME ! As someone who loves 70s funk and whose favourite musical is Wicked, I just about spazzed at the whole video. Amazing !
This is the best cover I’ve heard in YEARS!! I need this arrangement 😂😩😮💨
Agree!!
This is so kind. Thank you so much!
If the "Wizard of Oz" had a funk/soul remake of "The Wiz," I think this song proves we need a funk/soul remake of Wicked.
Screw it, can we have a funk/soul version of every musical?
How in the hell this only got 50k looks I'm witnessing greatness
What the heck was that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was INCREDIBLE, I LOVED EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF THAT !!!!!!!
Amanda is incredible here! And also want to shout out the WRITING of this rendition. Time signature work must have been a nightmare to keep this tune in the funk/disco pocket. Awesome work everyone!
THE BACKGROUND SINGERS!😍
The funk rebirth of wicked, this is so epic!
There's genuinely no reason for this to be this good. Stunning
Was I the only person at the end here, with their hairs standing on edge, shouting "that was freaking sick"🎉
Who else has listened to this cover on repeat😂... Am obsessed❤❤❤❤Where you been hiding gal??? 😊😊. Lots of love, hugs and kisses.... Simply the best cover ever in the whole wide world 😊
I’m obsessed!

This is an amazing arrangement with rich layers; and so much musical talent collected here.
I'm obsessed with this arrangement! Band locked in! BGVs killin' it! And, Amanda Barise, pure fire!
Pure insanity. The sheer amount of talent in that room is astounding.
We demand MORE!!! I’d love to see a collab between y’all and Michael Korte!

Chills and goosebumps!
Such a creative endeavor!
This is brilliant! Changing the whole style/makeup of the song, yet still capturing the energy and magic! 💜 ✨
