Defying Gravity (from Wicked) 【covered by Anna ft. Sedgeie】

- Hello everyone! This week I sang Defying Gravity from Wicked (the musical).
This is truly the fruits of my labor. I have spent the past 10 years practicing and practicing to get that last damn note and wE GOTTEM BOYS. It’s satisfying to sit here and listen to the cover I’ve been dreaming about from 10 years old. What a journey this has been.
I approached Sedgeie about singing this almost 6 months ago and what a GEM she has been. She is always such a pleasure to work with and I’m so over the moon to have her as my Glinda. On the flip side, if you want to hear Sedgeie belt her heart out as Elphaba and myself as Glinda, you can find that on her channel here! -- / sedgeie
And what about this GLORIOUS instrumental! Cloud did such a fantastic job arranging this beast of a song. I’m so pleased with how everything turned out and could not have asked for a more accommodating composer. You can find more from him here! -- / @cloudjumper
These two superstars made this cover possible and I’m so grateful for both of them! Thank you both so much!
I hope you’ve all been keeping cozy and warm (and STAYING INSIDE). I hope you can settle down and unwind with this cover! As always, thank you all for your continued love and support! I’m so grateful for every one of you. Hope you have a fantastic week and I’ll see you Saturday.

SENPAI NOTICED ME. :D
And Elphie's dad was being roasted by the Time Dragon. LOL.

For some reason when Anna “talks” in the song she kinda sounds like Veronica sawyer from heathers the musical-
Yes

Exactly what I though

*Defying: Gravity*
I read it as

I agree with it all but I believe "Gravity: Defied" might sound better- but over all, *yes*

Elliott Lally you killed me
I don’t think Isaac Newton would approve of her defying gravity.
He's the one disliking the video
Clearly you don't understand.
@abs a wooow I watched it and it's amazing it even has Malinda as Einstein. Truly a masterpiece
abs a
Was not disappointed
After hearing her voice, I think he would make an exception
My mom loved this musical. She played it every day in the car, whenever we went in the car. At night she would play this song. You guys sang this beautifully. (omg I just realized it sounds like my mom died she didnt)
God Bless you all 💕💞💓
Aw that's adorable!
I had CHILLS every second! My gosh, this is gorgeous. ♥

UA-cam: But Haleeeeeyyyy~
Me: Does it look like I want your garbage content?
UA-cam: I was gonna tell you that Anna posted that cover you've been waiting for 5 years

5 yearssssss omg x,D
Busy in quarantine?

Elsa: "No right, no wrong, no rules for me!"
Elsa (again): "Normal rules did not apply!"
Elphaba: "I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game."
Guess Idina's a bit of a Rule Breaker huh?
Not to mention Maureen's protest in RENT

MY FRIEND WASN’T LYING WHEN SHE SAID YOU HAD THE BEST VOICE OMG IM IN LOVE.
Can we all take a minute to appreciate the artwork, the artist captures the feeling of the song like "im leaving but i hope good things happen to you" in elphaba's smize
that ‘defied’ my expectations
i’ll leave
No! Please stay!
Lamiah Imran Is noice heeeeeeyyyyyy~
Lamiah Imran Is noice TELL ME HOW TO SAY NO TO THIS!
I don't think you understand the 'gravity' of the situation.
i'll leave with you
No come back!!!!
I've waited my whole life for this very moment
Me too😍
THE REPEAT BUTTON AND IIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!
SAME ITS SO GOOD!
Musical theater kids are quaking with this master piece
As a musical theatre kid, i am indeed quaking
i am also quaking, 2 years later.
I have listened to this an unhealthy amount of times
same-
still listening 2 years after: at what point does it become unhealthy? XD
If thats unhealthy I don't want to be healthy.
why did Glinda have an Australian accent for a second there
Lol probably because I'm actually British....American is hard sometimes :'D
★Sedgeie★ honestly it sounded more new york to me than anything else so you nailed it imo
I low-key thought the so-called Australian accent sounded cool... But for the rest of the song, she did great at the American accent!
@If your reading this, ur mom gay
yes, my mothers are gay. Yes, I’m adopted. You were right.
@@kayla-yi5xh oh gosh thank you :'D good to know
uraraka getting her quirk be like:
😂😂😂
BRUH
So true!
True.
OMG YES
I know the movie came out like 6 months ago but could you cover “Show Yourself” from Frozen 2?
**le gasp**
ITS BEEN 6 FREAKING MONTHS?!?
OMG HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN IN QUARINITINE?
what in the world?!
its been that long?!
Well now it's been 8 months!
Lesipho Bophela WHAT how long has quarantine been!?
Lemme know what y’all think about this: Defying Gravity is the MOST iconic well known Broadway song.
Facts. People who dont like theatre know this song
Have a mild interest in theater after watching a West Side Story play. I never heard of this song. Even read the book. How would you compare its notoriety to other songs and why? I’m thinking it’s like One-Winged Angel in the regard that most FF Fans have heard of it.
That’s a pretty bold claim. In my opinion The Phantom of the Opera has more iconic and well known songs, admit it, the opening of it’s theme with the organ is among the most recognizable opening sequences over
Mira Doan I only see facts
I won't deny that Defying Gravity is super iconic, I wouldn't say it's the MOST well-known of the countless Broadway songs out there. Dead Mom, Who Lives Who Dies, Six. I don't personally think there is a song that is the most iconic, however I agree that Defying Gravity is way up there.
Annapantsu: “I Hope Your Happy Right Now”
Everyone: *“We Are!!!!”*
I don't know why, but now I just can see Eda and Lilith singing it.
Thanks, The Owl House and your remarkable characters!
Wait yea! Like Eda singing Elphiba and Lilith singing Glinda
Same
Oh my gosh yeah!
Wait but yes
YESS!!
Indina left some big shoes to fill with this song
THEM SHOES ARE SMALL ON ANNA AND SHE LEFT EVEN BIGGER SHOES TO FILL
*whispers* it’s idina buddy
The only thing defying gravity is my happiness when Anna uploads
Lmao
Wow, i can't believe Annapantsu invented belting.
But seriously, this turned out phenomenal! Both of your voices sounded so well together and that last part where the villagers are screaming was done with so much emotion! Also the artwork is gorgeous, i'll follow the artist right away ^^
1000/10, kudos to everyone! 💞💞💞
Wait she actually invented Belted? My dumb brain can't remember who did! 😂😂
Ämãyā Skitz yess Anna actually invented belting!! She also invented singing! Those celebrities are just copycats of our goddess of singing Anna 😍😍😍
I specifically remember listening to your hellfire cover 4 years ago with my mom and her telling me you'd probably really do a great job if you sang defying gravity. Now I can finally show her this, omygod.
WAIT DID YOUR MOM LIKE IT!?
The legends spoke of one whose voice could match even Idina Menzel...
Now finally the prophecy comes true.
*Whispers loud enough for the entire fan base to hear*
May I suggest covering the rest of the entire Wicked sound track?
May I suggest every single musical out there. Lol jk
I'd kill for her to do a cover of As Long As You're Mine omgg
I wanna hear She Used to be Mine
Totally agreed!
This right now is the perfect amount of likes (666) 👍
nobody:
anna everytime she uploads a cover: im gonna give the gays everything they want
and the straights we love this too
Fun fact: straight people also look forward to Anna’s covers.
@@starmochi9692 it's almost as if.... No.... Maybe 'twas a
j o k e?
CombatKid 2707 it’s Jooké!
Ninas Felicillow I was trying to joke as well
My jokes are shit I know
So this is what self isolation is doing to me
Anna: Defying gravity
Me: More like defying vocal chords
This is so good it gave me goosebumps!!
...Ok...I need you take this black dress, hat and broom and get to the Broadway stage now please.
Anna: “So? Are you coming?” Me: I mean it’s not like I can really go anywhere as of the moment-
I mean, you're not wrong-
Corona time
Doctor: "You have 6 minutes left to live"
Me:
That one top note in the harmony of the last "Down" just gets me every time. Such glory.
I saw the title and I was just: NO WAY. THIS SONG IS SO HARD. NO WAY.
Annapantsu : *YES WAY*
Me after watching : HOLY- THIS IS GLORIOUS
anna and sedgeie do b defying everyone’s expectations with this cover though-
Bippity boppity boo.
I love that song
You're so good it's not even fair Anna. I cant get over "grrravity" the syncopation you put on it makes it sound so cool. Fabulously done as always.
There's a part in the description that extremely inspired me, where she said she practiced reaching the high note in 10 YEARS.
Okay but the art though- I’m so freaking distracted 💜 I can’t decide which is more captivating. Amazing as always!!
Both I say *runs off to sleep*
Anna, How you’re not on broadway yet is beyond me..
(Y’know, I meant that as a compliment.)
How people can dislike her is beyond me
maybe she just hasn’t found the right role yet :(
@@shsltrash6685 I dunno, she seems pretty perfect in every cover video of a Broadway song...just sayin'...
I don’t exactly know if she _wants_ to, per se. Not to mention she’s not exactly the the biggest name on UA-cam or anything, she probably hasn’t been discovered if that’s what you’re referring to.
A) She lives in Canada.
B) Not all people who are good singers are good actors.
C) She might not even want to.
D) She might not have or might never be discovered by the right people.
No lie, your voices fit the characters so well, if there was anybody to perfectly replicate the feeling of Defying Gravity, its you Anna!!!!!
Anna: Makes cover of one of my favorite songs.
Me: "This is where the fun begins."
Hello there
@@magixal-edtsAh, General Kenobi
Anna could actually be in a musical all by herself. She could just play all the different characters.
Anna: The Musical.... Actors: Anna, Vocals: Anna, Directors: Anna, Producers: Anna, Starring: Anna
Anna, seriously, congratulations. I was listening to it all, then when it got to the end and you went through higher and higher notes AND YOUR VOICE STAYED SO FREAKING CLEAN. You really were able to pull it off and all the way over the edge. It was so beautiful and inspiring.
Anna didn’t just defy gravity, she defied the natural abilities of one’s singing prowess. Good job 👏🏼
This cover is soooo goood the high note brought me chills
When she sang “aaaahhhoooahh!!!!!”
i felt that ✊😔
ann ! I wish I could have felt that 😞 My voice cracks wouldn’t like it-
I love the singing, as always. But can we just appreciate this fabulous artwork?! You go crowzao!
I want to like this so bad, but the number of likes....
"I know what I must do, but I don't know if I have the strength to do it."
I'm obsessed with both the cover and the art in the background. It's all so beautiful
i legit dancing around in my room, wearing my headphones while listening to this and at the end i cried of happiness so thank you anna for making this cover :'')
Me: Hears the first note
Also me: slams that like button
I love how you both manage to perfectly play the personalities of the characters only using your voices
At the end of this song you can just hear the joy in Anna's voice as she takes to the skies. The chains falling off of her as she feels freer than she's ever been.
I have practiced every day since quarantine started and I’m happy to say I can somewhat sing this now I only need to practice breath control :3 I hope you al give it a try! :) Practice does make perfect
I would love to listen! you could upload this to youtube
Anna: I’ve been practicing that last damn note for years and WE GOT EM BOIS
Me: And I’m so glad you did because my wig is full on *sN A T C H E D*
Seriously tho, you two did AMAZING! Keep up the amazing work!
OH MY GOD
*THAT HARMONIZATION*
Disney really needs to hire her
my mouth dropped when i heard you get to the latter part of the song. amazing, and it was so cool hearing that you worked towards it over 10 years. you're such a great artist, vocalist, and thanks for re-doing/covering these childhood classics!
So my school's musical for 2019 was ‘Wicked', and our Elphaba was amazing. And in general the musical was a success and everyone loved it. I remember during our first run through, every single person cheered after this song. And today, I was clapping in my room (my mum yelled at me for this but it was worth it)
Anna, you are amazing.
Holy crap you guys got the rights for it? How much did it cost because like even shows like the crucible can be expensive and musicals especially ones who just got off Broadway would be expensive asf
Luna Tuna
Some places have the rights already. Idk where they’re from but I know Australia has the rights
did you play a part in the musical? if so what part? (sorry i’m just curious)
@@feralsapphic4272 Yes I participated in the musical. I was a cellist in the orchestra and...let's just say I barely survived those pieces. No Good Deed is a beautiful piece of work, but the strings part is just absolutely terrifying. Like, I've never seen a violin teacher not able to give an demo terrifying.
Lost_ Times as a musician myself I understand your pain,, songs can sound lovely but the sheet music,, oohhh no
Tfw quarantine makes you descend into the air singing about being free of rules
Are you an Alto or Soprano?
WAIT YOUR YES.
You’re *
@@shrekyboi3473 Mate... is a question.
Why am I only hearing this song now? Could anyone suggest more songs like this, something that feels magical and just makes you smile while listening.
Oh shes gonna open your eyes to so many new fandoms when I first found her I wasn't much into musicals but now I've been sucked in😂😂😂
Petition to put Anna and Sedgeie as the real Elphie and Nessa in Wicked
1. Meh
2. ME
Ok I think you get it
3. me, i sign
4. YES
*Me seeing the thumbnail*: “Oh no...I don’t think I’ll be able to handle this awesomeness...”
Update: I couldn’t
Just dropping a comment to say I'm extremely pleased to note the clock in the background uses the correct Roman numeral for "4." On clock faces, the correct numeral is "IIII" rather than "IV."
damn this is actually interesting. thanks for commenting
I now declare from this day,
MY BIRTHDAY.
That ANNA and SEDGE ARE NOW TWO OFMY NEW FAVORITE ARTISTS.
(Damn! You guys inspired me to do better.
this song slaps especially with these two as the singers
WAAAA THIS IS SO SO SO GOOD YOU TWO!!!! bless your souls. Y’all better stay healthy throughout these time ^_^
Even Jenny is here I-- everyone is here! Such an amazing cover
Who’s here after the Wicked trailer?
I am ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Chills. Just chills when you hit "me down" you could literally play her in the musical.
tHE QUEEN HAS SANG- THE GLINDA IS BEAUTIFUL I- WE STAN OMG I CAN'T?? YOU'RE BOTH QUEENS???????
Me: *slams like button* *breaks button*
Also me: worth it
My favourite parts:
1:34 - Too late for second guessing
1:38 - Too late to go back to sleep
1:41 - (Guitar riff) + It's time to trust my instincts
3:29 - Just you and I defying gravity
4:30 (Prelude) + If you can't find me look to the western skies
4:52 - To those that ground me take a message back from me
5:15 - And nobody in all of Oz
Can we just appreciate that she credits the artist every time it’s just perfect.
The slight hint of Boston in Glinda’s part is something I never realized I needed until just now 💖💚
HECK YES!!!!
This was so much fun to sing with you!
Wow, this video has over a million views, over 36k likes.... and only 170 dislikes?
As a ratio that might be the best I have ever seen
That this cover doesn't have more views is outright criminal.
Throwback to when Anna covered this on a livestream years ago and said she’d post the full cover soon... This was a heck of a wait but it was worth it 100%
Oh my *god* those high notes. This is perfect. This is what perfection looks like. Or sounds like. Oh my Irene.
Irene... Mystreet/MCD reference?!?!
Yeah! I don't watch Aphmau's videos much anymore, but I still use "Irene"
5:08 ish nice use of voice growl, perfect placement
I just realised that no one in Oz brought her down as it was Dorothy and the house who did it. If I remember it correctly at least
Your high notes are DEFYING my expectations, Anna!
EARLY FLOOR GANG WHERE U AT
Anna, you probably won’t see this, I am one of your biggest fans (seriously, you’re so talented and I’m really inspired by you) and I’m not kidding, as soon as this quarantine ends and Broadway starts back up again I think you should seriously consider auditioning for shows. You have an incredible voice, and you’re one of my role models, and you would 100% make it on Broadway. Beautiful cover, by the way💚💖
Anna's voice sounds fantastic abs that last note was just--DAMN! But can we take a moment to appreciate the person who wrote this song. Like Oh my gosh! Kudos to whoever you are.
me: * knows anna is an amazing singer *
anna: * nails a song *
me: holy shit shes so good???
I never clicked so fast
I remember seeing Wicked on Broadway as a 8th grade school trip and seeing someone sing this in front of you is just magical 😳. I just don’t know how else to describe it
This song always makes me bawl like a baby. 😂
