English Lyrics:
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap!
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you can't pull me down
Can't I make you understand
You're having delusions of grandeur?
I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But 'til I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down
Glinda, come with me
Think of what we could do, together!
Unlimited
Together, we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest
Team there's ever been
Glinda, dreams the way we planned 'em
If we work in tandem
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I, defying gravity
With you and I defying gravity
They'll never bring us down!
Well, are you coming?
I hope you're happy
Now that you're choosing this
You, too
I hope it brings you bliss
I really hope you get it
And you don't live to regret it
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy my friend
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am defying gravity!
I'm flying high, defying gravity!
And soon, I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!

Thanks for reacting to Willemijn, she's an icon and I'm so glad that I saw her in the Dutch production of Wicked! She was the longest running Elphaba: played over 2000 shows internationally, in 3 languages (Dutch, German and English) and in 4 countries (the Netherlands, Germany, England/West-End and the U.S.A./Broadway). So she also sang the songs in English ;). Fun fact: she's the Dutch & German (singing voice only) of Elsa in the Frozen-franchise.

[@MiciaMoppie]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2TPh5J5g5qarNk This is the audio of Willemijn singing all 3 languages in one song 😁

[@pabutoycalendar5048]

Actually no, she may be the longest lead running elphaba, but when you say longest running elphaba it's Jennifer DiNoia for 16 years since 2004 until 2022 she has been the lead and standbys off and on many productions, asutralia (Sydney, Melbourne), West End, Broadway, Chicago, 1st National Tour, 2nd National Tour and even asian Tours

[@Frankamaria]

Willemijin... saw her several times... one of the best musical vocals... another Dutch powerhouse ^^ she was the voice over of Elsa in the Dutch Frozen syncro and the singing vocals of Elsa at the German syncro

[@CaBoela]

You're a wonderfull guy, Highly. The fact you got touched and moved by this song did something to me too. Now i'm in (happy) tears behind my screen .... Thanks for reacting to this one

[@ciaolisanne1]

She made an hilarious version about getting lost in between languages during the show 😂 it’s freaking brilliant! You should really check that one out. As well as her versions of Forgivenesses Embrace, Meadowlark and all of her Scott Alan songs.

[@jeroenvandam4193]

Appatently Willemijn is the favorite Elphaba for Stephen Schwartz (the writer of Wicked)

[@WJC981]

fun fact: Willemijn is the only actress to do the show in 3 different languages. the first time in German (Stuttgart),then in her native Dutch (The Hague), and then on Broadway and in the West End of London.

[@suzettebakelaar]

Beautiful reaction for a beautiful song ❤ !!!

[@duketgg]

I've seen her play Elphaba in Stuttgart, Germany. Amazing vocals.

[@marycasanova8905]

Such a beautiful song. Thanks.

[@toon25121966]

You should watch the video where she does it in there different languages: Dutch German and English!!! Best version ever!

[@jeannettehartvelt6842]

Now , I understand! Thankx Paul😇🥰😘

[@ChrisEchoes]

Haven't seen that many musicals in my life so: saw Cats in London (in the 90s) and late in the 90s a Dutch production of My Fair Lady and the last time I was in London I wanted to see a musical and had the opportunity to chose several ones but eventually went to see Wicked. Did not regret it as it is a wonderful show. This was already a later production run so no Willemijn anymore in London but whoever it was that sang the lead that night, she did a stellar job. BTW, the translation of the lyrics to Dutch is pretty good I just noticed.

[@ChildhoodDreamzzz]

You should watch videos of her doing this on Broadway or West End she’s the best Alphaba ever she has performed in Germany, the Netherlands and that’s her home country, Broadway and West end

[@WickedLizLuv]

Finally you discovered Willemijn😉 I've been a huge fan since 2012. You should check out her trillingual videos! She played Elphaba in Germany, The Netherlands, London and New York. She also voiced the German and Dutch Elsa's in Frozen, of which there are also some trillingual videos kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYa3eqJ4obyghJI This one in particular is my favourite. I got to witness this performance live and it was phenomenal

[@janeverse4555]

Paul, sometimes I give you some background information, this time you learned me something. I know we have many great musical singers. But I didñ't know Willemijn. Thanks.

[@knuffeldiertje]

She is great and she is very nice. I was there at the "Uitmarkt" with the Musical sing-a-long.

[@veronikaeffling1904]

She is the best

[@mtvrhj]

hahaha heel leuk

[@carolaslings2405]

She is way better than Idina menzel.. there is a video of idina singing with all the other elsa's and willemijn is also there

[@marjoleinverschut528]

True!! Far better than Idina.

[@jacqvanm4882]

By the way: she also played the roll in Wicked in the US in 2013…

[@okkietrooy6841]

Funny to see the lip-syncing in English.

[@Jordi86]

[@Broadwaybaby707]

I thought she sings in German not Dutch
