Derek invented the dramatic entrance

[@hannahgilley9461]

Ohh,he did

[@gracewood9332]

Michael makes an Entrance!!!

[@lexihoek1675]

i don’t think I’ve watched any videos with him at 54 with him starting on stage and not making a dramatic entrance from the audience tbh

For Good if there wasn't any character development in Wicked

[@Slay96866]

Wheatos I choked on air this is perfect

[@jesscervantes13]

I think I like it better ngl

[@emma-vg8eo]

I don’t know how I would react if Derek Klena casually walked in with a witch’s hat and started singing Wicked

[@Adannan939]

Personally I would cry

[@makediamondsdull5555]

Id cry fr

[@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices]

I'd die

[@wrenwhite8402]

I’d freak the fuck out

[@reeseb3606]

[@raffaellasocio6958]

"put this on" DEREK IS JUST THROWING PROPS OUT OF NO WHERE LIKE WTF DEREK i love these guys wtf

[@isad.4603]

Does Derek ever start a 54 below performance on the stage

[@alyr228]

Isabella de la Hoz lol nope

[@emilyweaver515]

Nope

[@HannahSmith-kr5jh]

He sings dancing through life on stage, but then he gets off the stage and walks around the audience

[@deehansupercute]

i noticed that too...lol he always starts off stage...

[@finisanchez6828]

and when he starts on the stage he manages to somehow disappear or start dancing throughout the crowd. that guy can't stay still lol

[@MiracleWinchester]

They had to wear leather jackets didn't they. They just had to add that to their already oozing charm

[@kennedyharris9590]

“Because you knew me” “Because you knew me” Together: “Because I knew YOU” “YOU have been changed for good” Such a bro thing to do 😂

[@ashes2ashes-l8z]

he looks so proud of himself "because you knew me" *nods his heads*

[@deadraven8345]

The way they changed the lyrics makes the song a bit narcissistic. I love it! Hahaha

[@potato.pancake]

Dead Raven I mean, the show is pronoun showdown lol

[@serenityrose2594]

Potato Pancake a bit?

[@NguyenNguyen-ro9xl]

Lol I came watching this without knowing the original lyrics. That's why people were laughing so much haha

[@alyr228]

*tiny bit*

[@ruthwoodland2611]

Antonio totally rocks that tiara 🔥😂

[@hannahgilley9461]

😂Yes,he does

[@archiefanatic101]

2:58-3:12 and that synchronized hand in pocket move is great! 😂

[@alyssac5415]

Derek as Elphaba?! YES, PLEASE.

[@fabulouskilljoy9085]

Okay. So can Antonio and Derek cover every single song that actually exists because I will never get tired of their voices together and I. Just. Need. It.

[@chlo3mak]

[@kyralumendoza4762]

[@lucyroberts9498]

Thinking the exact same thing girl

[@judahcatherine]

i don’t think i’ve ever clicked on something sO fAsT in my entire life and also GET ANTONIO TO PLAY DIMITRI and i love both of these men so much and just I have sO mUCh tO SAY

[@alyr228]

Derek’s high notes brought tears to my eyes

[@lexic6081]

Finally! A guy's rendition with REAL singing talent and not completely reliant on reverb and autotune.

[@abbye6082]

I’ve loved Derek for a while, but this video is the reason I’ve been watching Antonio’s covers for about an hour straight.

[@mayas.3455]

"Because I knew you... YOU have been changed for good" Me: right when I thought they were gonna sing the right lyric at the very end... *facepalms* But, in all honesty, this was really funny XD

[@ronaldfernando238]

It was the funniest part of the performance

[@chvp4605]

Okay Antonio's voice is butter...and Derek also has a great voice. They're both very handsome as well, who the hell let them hold so much power ver our faint, little hearts?

[@smolestbean762]

Antonio has the voice of an angel

[@melissabrown6254]

i think I have watched this a thousand times and I laugh every time

[@vivieneb3131]

3:28 - them nodding in unison I can’t 😂😂😂

[@thestarswillbethere]

This is probably one of the GREATEST VIDEOS I have ever watched in my entire life. First of all, the change of perspectives so everything seems way more self-centered than it's supposed to be; second, DEREK AND ANTONIO; third, at 3:46 Derek’s hat gets knocked off and you can see he’s like “where my hat go” but then just like, gets over it; and fourth, "you have been chaaaanged for goo--put this on" DEREK YOU'RE KILLING ME

[@nicholasl5143]

Their chemistry tho! I am shooketh!

[@takemetoglasgow09]

Derek’s little hand wiggle at the word “wind” akdbhdkslfjdkd

[@themelodystar4286]

I love the hat switch for their roles, but like all of Derek's lines are so Glinda and I love it even more.

[@lucyywagner]

TheMelodyStar Antonio was actually supposed to be Glinda lol

[@themelodystar4286]

@@lucyywagner oh yeah i know but with all the lyric changes, Derek's Elphaba lines sound more like something Glinda would say.

[@brianlozano5220]

Best Miscast duo. Phenomenal vocalists. Epic performance. I'm their fan now. Thank you guys

[@fatherterry1017]

antonio’s voice is self care

[@Karl94inlove]

It isn't surprising that we adore this because DEREK KLENA, but this is a treasure.

[@bryanmoss9340]

[@justthatnoodle]

[@missybarbour6885]

This is the funniest one yet and the bar was high

[@lavanderose6872]

I need studio version, without laughs. Right. Now.

[@adinajud]

Still waiting for that PS album @Abby

[@allyson--]

[@katelensworld]

My best friend and I are doing "For Good" for a musical theater performance. I feel like this is what we would've done if we didn't have to follow the directors, this is totally something we'd do to each other.

[@CamieDelRosario]

Name a more iconic duo, I'll wait.

[@alyr228]

This sounds so cocky but I love it regardless

[@Chubby-nd2bv]

I've heard it said That people come into our lives For a reason Bringing something we must learn And we are led to those Who help us most to grow if we let them And we help them in return Well, I don't know if I believe that's true But I know I'm who I am today Because I knew you Like a comet pulled from orbit As it passes the sun Like a stream that meets a boulder Halfway through the wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better But because I knew you I have been changed for good It well may be That we will never meet again In this lifetime So, let me say before we part So much of me Is made of what I learned from you You'll be with me Like a handprint on my heart And now whatever way our stories end I know you have rewritten mine By being my friend Like a ship blown from its mooring By a wind off the sea Like a seed dropped by a sky bird In a distant wood Who can say if I've been changed for the better But because I knew you Because I knew you I have been changed for good And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness For the things I've done, you blame me for But then I guess We know there's blame to share And none of it seems to matter anymore Like a comet pulled from orbit (like a ship blown from its mooring) As it passes the sun (by a wind off the sea) Like a stream that meets a boulder (like a seed dropped by a bird) Halfway through the wood (in the wood) Who can say if I've been changed for the better I do believe I have been changed for the better And because I knew you Because I knew you Because I knew you I have been changed For good

[@amytrichanh6977]

How dare Derek look and sound that good as Elphaba

[@justthatnoodle]

i live for derek in that hat

[@juliamellett]

This song was transformed into a perfect BRO song. I don't even know how that happened, but I loved it.

[@aubreyking9392]

Okay please don’t hate me but imagine. Antonio=James Potter; Derek=Sirius Black Let me set the stage. It’s their seventh year and they’ve finally won the Quidditch Cup. There’s a celebration in the Gryffindor common room and someone pulled out a karaoke machine. And James knows that Lily and Marlene love Wicked, so he wants to sing it but Sirius won’t let him do it well. James is terrified of what Lily will do after they finish but he’s a bit tipsy and he never turned down a dare, especially from his best friend. Plus he loves to see Marlene’s angry expression.

[@allyson--]

I purely do not understand this but I love that you commented this

[@CincinnatiRon]

So hilarious, so amazing

[@zarah8949]

derek klena + for good WHAT MORE CAN I ASK FOR????

[@kyralumendoza4762]

For him to play the role of Dimitry again?

[@zarah8949]

Kyra Lu Mendoza you heard the plea of my heart. yes please😭

[@kyralumendoza4762]

The role of the Dimitry was really perfect for him but alas all good things must come to an end someday

[@KirstenD2]

Derek taking that high line though 😍
