Jemma Rix Defying Gravity - One of her best!

[@Sheridan726]

This has been my favourite song for ages, and I thought Idina sang it perfectly. After hearing this, I can't listen to Idina anymore because Jemma is so perfect!

[@SeiPR727]

I just LOVE her trademark "everyone deserves the right to FLY!"

[@aussiepoof7629]

This is one of the best renditions of Defying Gravity, period!

[@krystalmillar7939]

this is definitely one of her best :)

[@DoctorOfPhilosophyMD]

Who the bloody hell disliked this?! It's amazing. Jemma is even more amazing in person. She's just so down to earth and fun.

[@rileyrossi]

I'm a new convert to the Australian cast. I'm glad I started listening to them :)

[@SplitCity]

Absolutely amazing! I went and saw it on Sat with the wife. I have no interest in musicals but did quite enjoy the show. This was the only song I knew and the ending just gives you goosebumps!

[@emilycc31]

omg thankyou for doing this i have been replaying this in my head for the weeks since seeing this live, just watched some of the vids of the broadway cast, LOVING the aussie cast so much more!! yay! :)

[@thatgirlgidget]

Just been to Wicked today.Jemma Rix is the best Elphaba ever! She blew me away with her fantastic voice.

[@sah2801]

Yes this is awesome, especially the extra bit she put into into "so if you care to find me", - but did anyone see the last performance in Perth? OMG...one word for that... WOW. Thanks for posting this though! I've never heard this version of it sung by her before, I always thought she was staying true to Idina's style. I love it both ways!!

[@geraldgee737]

The first “Me Down” is just exquisite!

[@LottieAnnxoxo]

I saw this live in 2011 incredible had tears in my eyes Love it

[@katapruiz]

I JUST SAW JEMMA RIX!! She's so amazing as Elphaba!

[@mitchell104]

I LOVE the vibrato on "wesTERN sky!"

[@aussiepoof7629]

In my opinion, Jemma is the best Elphaba there is and ever was! Not necessarily because of her amazing singing (coz there are others with just as much vocal talent), but the way she encapsulated the character. Most Elphabas we know today (Jessica Vosk, Alice Fearn atc) they have had a lot more exposure and experience in musical theatre, which means when they play Elphaba, they have a sense of true confidence in themselves. Jemma has no where near the amount of exposure as they’ve had, and when she performs, she is extremely modest and humble. With Jemma, she worked her way up, she didn’t have it all at once. The character Elphaba is vulnerable and yet forces herself to stand up against adversity. Because Jemma has not come from a place of privilege, she plays Elphaba in a way that truly represents what( I think) the character should be. Jemma has the incredible voice, but you don’t know until she starts singing and that to me makes he Elphaba, the most relatable.

[@WickedFanJennii]

Incredible!

[@Impossible998]

Ohmygosh! Idina has always been my favorite, but not anymore!!!!! I love this woman!

[@euroclass1]

Jemma Rix is so amazing. She's still playing Elphie even after all these years and her voice and belt is as clear as ever.

[@Jeffryh2005]

Damn straight. One of the best i have ever heard her do DG! Great to hear Erin Hasan as well (still yet to get her as Glinda)

[@livkirby]

She's so inspiring!!

[@TheShazka]

Jemma Rix Is AMAZING!!!!! Her voice is so beautiful and AMAZING!!!!!! I love Jemma she is the best Elphaba EVER!!!! :)

[@luke8968]

amazing talent and voice

[@TheGreendaybryce]

@jasonr1929 It's when the PA (Sound System), hears a signal that it is producing, through the mic ... creating a "Feedback" loop, from mic to speaker to mic to speaker to mic to speaker etcetcetc ... That process creates a (in this case small) squeal sound on the PA.

[@preyband1]

I LOVE JEMMA RIX SO MUCH AS ELPHABA!!!!! WHAT AN AMAZING TALENT!!!!

[@sammmiii13]

@kbajtos I cried when she sang the last notes, she was phenomenal

[@Ehntu]

IT'S MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Fantastic!

[@LarryEmdur101]

Great work from Jemma and even better that she is singing with Erin Hasan.

[@Delsey0211]

WOW SHES GOOD!

[@teeacakes]

I had Laura Bunting when I saw this in Sydney, she was flawless!

[@nunchakugirl]

ooh; I went to watch wicked two days before this performance, ahaha. C: Jemma is wonderful

[@s0undstrulycrazy]

Jemma the beat conquers Wicked with her manvoice belt. When is she coming to Broadway? Old Mandy doesn't stand a chance against the forces of Jemma

[@Racheltwin94]

Ahhh, I absolutely LOVE Erin Hasan as Glinda- so glad I got to see her once! OMFG!!!! Jemma just gets better and better!!! AMAZING!!! Wow. That 'So if you care to find me' *dies*

[@LaceyWright98]

That trumpet!!

[@TheShazka]

@x0xDefyGravityx0x One problem Wicked has now left Brisbane and I went to see it with school so I couldn't wait at the stage door :'(

[@morningmo0n]

goosebumps goosebumps, brrrrrrrr

[@euroclass1]

@sah2801 Bless Idina for being the first Elphie shaping it for everyone else. I'm yet to find an Idina performance where she's not slightly flat or shakey...

[@TheShazka]

@Adjectivalful She is my Idol to may I just add when i saw her she totally went up to the top of my list of my favourite people in the world!!!! I love Jemma! I wish I could meet her :'( If i did I would probably be starstruck and die!!! :P

[@lestatsluver666]

Saw Wicked last night in Melbourne. Jemma still has it....no....she's better than ever. And the rightful lead this time, no more understudy nonsense for the Melbourne set

[@rileyrossi]

I know that. I meant Elphaba is a great character whoever plays her.

[@jasonr1929]

@runawaydreamer996 awesome!

[@wildfiretgh]

@SweetOZland You need to get your ears checked, she has one of the most powerful voices Elphaba has ever seen.

[@smiggles6963]

Her first being me down is monstrous

[@1takewatsongirl]

This doesn't sound like Lucy playing Glinda? xxxx

[@ProudSpeakerofWhale]

Good grief the music was so fast!! But she's soooooo amazing and talented!!

[@katapruiz]

@jasonr1929 Her voice is mind blowing :D her voice is so powerful and emotional she's such a talented singer :D She made me cry when she sang 'defying gravity' :'D

[@jasonr1929]

@TheGreendaybryce ahh i see, thanks!

[@suspended86]

Jemma's just a better singer. Better vocal technique = less damage to voice = better, more consistent sound. Jemma's breathing technique is EXCELLENT, meaning she can get to the top of her range every time.

[@carefreeconfusion]

My only criticism of Jemma's performance is I feel she raced through the final "AHHH". I would have liked to have heard her hold each note for slightly longer, rather than racing through to hold the final note. But this was an incredible performance

[@margretteleigh]

Is that Erin Hasan as Glinda? (By the way - Jemma is incredible...all the time. Holy shiz, she's amazing!)

[@jasonr1929]

@TheGreendaybryce whats feedback?

[@madzybee1]

@xlarabearr i actuly think i went to the same one

[@jasonr1929]

im dead

[@jasonr1929]

@runawaydreamer996 how ws it!!!???

[@Sn0t123]

Jemma Rix, as it says very clearly in the title and description...

[@TheGreendaybryce]

Right after and during "She has nothing to do with it", sounds like there's feedback! Darmnbit you sound people ;)

[@jasonr1929]

@SeiPR727 haha ok

[@jasonr1929]

@SeiPR727 it's chance not right

[@jasonr1929]

@runawaydreamer996 *was

[@SeiPR727]

@jasonr1929 sorry n-nU Too overwhelmed, I guess

[@KelsiePaiige]

Her voice is so pure, she's so much better than Amanda..

[@unidan82]

saw her twice and loved her but she does rush the big phrases.... weird.

[@naughtynessin]

WOW isnt it fast? but very good lol

[@hannaaahbarrett]

why are people like kesha famous, when there are singers like this in the world?

[@jacklangboy7617]

Agreed

[@jasminerichardson2180]

Love Jemma and Glinda, don't like this Madam Morrible.

[@samjarris]

That Madame Morrible is not very good.

[@jasonr1929]
