[@sudiptaacharya6963]

Please please please react to Idina Menzel singing defying gravity at the Tony awards!!

[@nathancreek6086]

The main reason I want the Wicked movie to be animated is so that Kristin and Idina can voice the characters because nobody can sing For Good like they can

[@jackclancy7570]

Nathan Creek Jessica Vosk can!

[@nathancreek6086]

@@jackclancy7570 I'm sure she can, but she's just one person and I'm talking about the two of them together... She's also not name talent so wouldn't get cast in a lead role in a long anticipated movie

[@JMarchel]

Hard agree

[@CharitySpalding]

I think Kristin and Idina sound good together but personally I think that Lucy Durack and Jemma Rix sound even better.

[@Draztikus]

Alice Fearn and Sophie Evans disagree

[@IamCurrentlyAscending]

There was some interview where Kristen said that she goes to the lowest part of her range here (4:43), and that it's symbolic of Glinda finally connecting with her heart. It's a nice sentiment.

[@MatthewvMayo]

I feel like they recorded this because they're good friends and they were just like "hey let's do something together that'll make the theatre geeks freak out!"

[@jakedutkiewicz4972]

You realize they were the original glinda and elphaba right?

[@shawniechew]

sorry to burst your bubble but it was recorded for the Wicked Musical as a "Out of Oz" studio session, theirs also 'defying gravity' with Rachel Tucker and Aaron Tveit

[@MatthewvMayo]

@@shawniechew who cares? You're literally just being a Debbie downer and for what?

[@TheLukecottle]

@@MatthewvMayo How are they being a debbie downer for educating you? You obviously didnt know that this was part of an "out of oz" special album which i beleive was created as special aniversary of wicked? And not just them trying ot freak out theatre geeks, and if you didnt kmow that then other may not either. Theres other songs too whichnare pretty awesome, some gender bent songs and unusal styled duets. It's pretty cool.

[@MatthewvMayo]

@@TheLukecottle because my post had nothing to do with what was actually the reason for the video just about how I felt about said video.

[@callabeth258]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention that these two were the original Galinda and Elphaba in Wicked! The only reason I wasn’t freaking out at seeing them sing together is I’ve watched that video a million times because it’s so good!

[@liltiib430]

« It’s Glinda now » 😋

[@ChrisPaddlefoot]

I love that minor drop right near the end... " I do believe that I've been changed for the better".... they both they both drop in pitch and switch to a minor for impact... fantastic. Really makes you notice.

[@zentrino336]

Idina does that jaw thing in rent too. I think it's just a way that she sings. They are gorgeous and this is the best song of all time.

[@Josh-Stewart]

A true Rent head would know how Idina sings.. I saw her in Detroit in 07 for her concert.. I was AMAZING!!!!

[@katiemcteague]

Barbra Streisand has this habit as well so I’m not knocking it! 😊 Love them both.

[@michellejendrzejek3301]

What I love about this is they’ve been out of these roles for years, and they came back and it’s like they’ve been doing these roles that whole time, and never missed a beat. 💜

[@aperson5261]

I don’t care what anyone says, I am in love with idinas voice. There’s just something about her that I adore.

[@katiehelms8903]

Agreed

[@kristenhyatt7567]

I cry every time I hear them sing this together.

[@KyleS.1987]

Who's got two thumbs and cries just a tiny little bit when he hears this song? This guuuuuuuuy~! :'D

[@KylinNicole11]

Nicole Scherzinger “Don’t Cry for me Argentina” PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I have a feeling you will be stunned by her interpretation of this piece!

[@brettprice5273]

YES

[@slvrangel22]

That is a jaw dropping performance.

[@salzwell25]

Yes

[@jessicamcintyre8012]

Definitely!!!!

[@jaseyangala]

YES TARA THIS PERFORMANCE IS AMAZING

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

I don't think it is possible to truly sing this song as a duet, feel it, and not end it with a hug. I don't care who you are. Did you see when they performed this at the Wicked anniversary with all the actresses who played Glenda and Elphaba? I cried.

[@AndySaenz]

These 2 amazing ladies are Broadway royalty! Their voices are spectacular! I love KC and IM!

[@carlynhelaine]

They sang this how they did originally and it’s my favorite. Idinas jaw does that pretty often.

[@mitsim]

I love this so much, and this has so much meaning to me as I was in the audience for their very last performance of Wicked on Broadway. (7/18/04; I still have the ticket stub)

[@tvdjarley8018]

I've seen their "for good" video idk how many times and it never fails to make me cry. I just love them and the musical so MUCHHHH and i also just love Tara fangirl about musicals xD

[@ipenayes127]

Me too.

[@erikawhite3520]

I get chills every single time I listen to the two of them singing this song. ❤️

[@calebritchie1069]

As an accompanist, I loved that Tara noticed the really great pianist here! Good job, Bryan Perry!

[@BuzzDoesDisney]

When my husband and I moved on from our first full time youth ministry, two girls in our group sang this song to us at our going away party. It didn’t help that they held a special place in my heart because I had help to mentor them; but it forever changed this song for me. I can’t hear it without thinking of that special moment, those special girls (both grown now) and how they meant every word they sang.

[@gothgirlgraveyard3539]

They are PERFECT, they are LEGENDARY, they are the OGS🖤😭👏🏻

[@redjaypatalinghug1090]

I really love this song. Always gets me teary-eyed everytime I listen to it. So glad you made a reaction to this. Both of them sound really good together. The harmonics is just really good.

[@MarenWood-p5f]

Their hug at the very end makes me tear up. I love their friendship so much :D ☺

[@kristineannesalcedo5933]

I just know that this song is made for them to sing! Legends! Thank you queens!

[@ronmayer8615]

And I love you Tara for being that 'nerd'. I have loved both of these masters ever since I first discovered them on 'Glee'.

[@kalebjernigan]

Idina and Kristen are my FAVORITES!❤️

[@flayremoon]

I saw these two in Wicked on Broadway, and the song (the whole bloody production) was amazing, but now that I see/hear them in this video, I’m astounded all over again. The harmony was just mind-blowing!

[@broadwaymenzel540]

love this! please react to idina singing into the unknown live - she sounds insane!! :)

[@christinamarie7812]

Broadway Menzel she’s a literal legend. Her voice is so beautiful and powerful. She has always been my favorite singer

[@sarahfitzpatrick7723]

I just stumbled across this channel today and I have to say, I am emotional. I was always felt shut out by singers my entire life, I was never good enough to be with them or sing with them. It felt like I wasn't meant to sing. It has been 4 years since then and I still get emotional about it. So hearing Tara say that anyone can sing, really comforted and validated me.

[@beingforeverfree]

I’ve had the wicked piano book for forever and it has Elphaba as the high part and Glinda as the low

[@christinamarie7812]

Jenny yeah, same. I’m pretty sure elphaba always sings the higher part, at least in this song. And the original recording has idina singing higher too.

[@kimtaylor2644]

She was referring to the parts they sang throughout the show up to this song

[@msbookworm1395]

Wicked is the show that got me into musical plays, and this song has got to be my favorite from the entire show... especially when Idina and Kristin sings it. I am here to see Tara's reaction and comments but I ended up teary eyed from their harmony.

[@trb7153]

Amazing. Thanks so much.When I first saw Wicked in person, the way Elphaba and Glinda "switched vocal roles" near the end of this song blew me away. So glad you pointed that out!!

[@jennawhite5466]

Watch the scene from RENT (film) when Idina is performing “Over the Moon”. She does the side jaw thing a lot when she enunciates certain words/letters.

[@Josh-Stewart]

"I'm forbidden to produce milk.. in Cyberland they only drink.. Diet Coke Diet Coke Diet Coke"

[@momofSandN]

That brought tears to my eyes. Love them both.

[@HallelCalandrillo]

This is one of my favorite videos of Kristin and Idina 😭💗 thank you for reacting to it Could you please react to Idina singing Into the Unknown live???

[@gillylovett7735]

I’ve been watching every night, Kristen on stage with an audience guest. What a wonderful lullaby during Covid. Enjoyed your take!!

[@jordancheng3433]

Somehow I never knew about this official video for For Good back in the day... though I do remember watching and rewatching and rewatching some more all of Kristin's live performances where she gets audience members to sing with her and they're all magical

[@skatefan78]

This has been saved in my Liked videos on KZbin since it came out --- you can just tell that the years of working together closely on stage just have created such a deep admiration, respect, friendship, and love for each other, and that's exactly what comes across during this performance -- time just suspends and you don't want it to end!

[@nsyhjtj3784]

The only thing I’m thinking about is that both of them have been in glee and both of them have kissed will shuester lmao

[@qaania._.1338]

[@qaania._.1338]

Yes fellow gleek

Ooh and also how Idina and Jonathan both had relationships with Rachel, idina being the mother and Jonathan being Jesse... No spoilers lol, and Idina and Jonathon also starred in Frozen.

So happy you reacted to this video! I was geeking out just as much as you. This is one of my favorite songs.

[@lalelu1202]

I saw Wicked when it came out in my country in 2007 which catapulted me into a deep obsession and these two were such a big part of my love for this musical. Watched so many of their videos back in those days and although they are not my all time favorite Glinda and Elphaba, they hold such a dear spot in my heart

[@dannysimion]

Seeing this stripped down version you can really hear their great vocal dynamics. I watched them again when they reunited again on Tony Awards : Broadway is Back. They sound so lovely!

[@c0llapsingst4rs]

Tara: **waving her hands around and being excited** ahh i’m such a nerd me: **rolling around on the floor in tears** YOU THINK YOU’RE A NERD!?

I love this song, they've always been great together.

[@lizzyjamieson2630]

I've never seen one of her videos so that intro was crazy

I did a tribute to my grandma to this when she passed. Such a powerful song.

[@jamestnov41945]

Tara love your channel. I sang (tenor) in our church choir for 13 years and I loved it. I did not start singing until I was 56. Fortunately our choir director was dedicated. I am proof that singing can be taught. Unfortunately I had to stop, our travelling affected my Diabetes, I am a t1 insulin dependant. Anyway I live watching you and the vocals you critique. Why hasn't a Broadway producer ever sought you out? You are a beautiful young woman with a great voice. Regards James.

[@noellehannibal]

Idina has always done the side jaw thing. She also does an interesting technique when she is singing a word that starts with "n". She goes into it with an "l" sound. I first noticed it in Wicked.

[@chimmylights7323]

You know what I love? Tara’s hair in all vids. Gorgeous! 🥰❤️

[@chall85]

So, I just discovered your page, and I am already a huge fan. Watched you review a few Voiceplay songs, PTX, Disturbed, a few others and now this is gold. You have a great ear for this, and I love watching your face react when you hear good music. I totally get the geeking out over original Wicked. I love it, and I loved this video. *It doesn't hurt that you're a super gorgeous woman, too.* Love the channel!

[@taylorgage5684]

i totally didn't realise the change in the harmonies and now i'm gonna cry!

[@Crazycow280]

Honestly why has Kristin not had more fame. I know shes big but i feel like a lot of people would have no clue who she is just by saying her name. Shes a STAR

[@hypherbb12]

I love this song soooo much. And I've watched the vid for like thousand times before already. ♥️♥️♥️

[@DJMeCa]

Beautiful...My very favorite version is by Levi Kreis. Breathtaking. Can’t listen without crying...

[@wieldwords]

Your Broadway nerding out is adorable, and we all need more of it in our lives. Katrina Lenk doing “If I Were a Rich Man” and Lilias White’s showstopper version of “Don’t Rain on My Parade” are my humble requests. Always a joy to watch you!

[@littlechivita]

I’ve never heard Wicked described as infamous before

[@sburris65]

Just pure perfection. I can't not wait this December to introduce my niece to the world of Broadway with Wicked. I hope she will love it as much as I do.

[@d1zz314]

Always interesting to hear a vocal coach analyse how singers interpret a song & love listening to Tara analyse famous singer's technique - absolutely love this particular song from "Wicked" - you should look up Idina Menzel sing "Defying Gravity" at her Barefoot at the Symphony concert, it's absolutely spell-binding watching her sing this particular interpretation.

[@vinskilby3508]

so good too see these two back together they still sound amazing even if it was in a studio and not on stage

Tara, no artists (but Dimash) can draw more attention to your channel excepting, of course, your lovely self. It is grateful to see how you change images, and they are all wonderful. And they bewitch us on. You shine dazzling.

This video doesn't have J Hud in it, but it is one of my favorite recordings that came out of The Color Purple revival because of the cast reactions to Cynthia kzbin.info/www/bejne/iorJoJ6eoLZ-ebc. It would be interesting to hear Tara react to this

[@MNGirl]

Tara, now that you've put yourself out there with your x Factor review of yourself, you should react to your "walk away" music video. It's really well done and captures your personality and vocal capabilities perfectly. I'm shocked it doesn't have more views, because it's REALLY good❤

[@betsyevers4363]

Amazing ♥️ Your comments and critiques are on point!

[@juanettebutts9782]

Both women have A-MAY-ZING voices!! When singing together, it's magical. I've noticed over the years it's become more acceptable to have a "nasal" tone. During my vocal training back-in-the-day, if we sang "through our noses" instead of projecting our voices "through the tops of our heads," we got called out. Nasal was considered inferior technique. How do YOU feel about this subject? Love, love, LOVE your videos!! Proud to be a Tarabyte!! 💜🎼🎵🎶💜

[@RocklandTheatreco]

Amazing - saw them both in Wicked 3x. Saw Kristin in her first Tony performance in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." and Idina in Rent 2x and an up close concert in Boston. Have you reacted to Angelina Jordan yet? She's a 14 year old with a musical background since she was 3. Check out her AGT Champions - Bohemian Rhapsody in January.

[@Toebeanmama]

This is so sentimental for me. As a nurse, I took care of someone who became a great friend for years. I dedicated this song to them and they were so moved. They passed away recently and this is the first time I hear the song since their passing. Be still my heart 😭

OK so this song means a lot to me and especially you posting this video on this day. Today would have been the 25th birthday of my dear friend Michael who sadly passed away October 2018.
