Defying Gravity - Wicked (Live Cover by Brittany J Smith) 

This is THE best Defying Gravity cover I’ve ever heard 😭❤️

HOW THE HELL are you not on Broadway?

So... she can sound like a mezzo-soprano AND like a soprano?? I'm shook

You're the first person on earth that could be a perfect Elphaba and an incredibld Glinda as well. Broadway has a place for you, I'm sure about it. Keep going please, you're amazing!!!! Hugs from Barcelona :)

Duo Morticia Adams and Barbie ^^ i love it

Omg, you're amazing girl. TAKE THIS WOMAN TO BROADWAY!!!!!

THE WAY YOU CAN SING SO VUNERABLY BUT BELT OUT THOSE NOTES IS SICK DUDE

Never thought i would ship two people who were actually the same person. huh😂 Also makeup on point👌👌👌

5:42 I *gasped* holy hell, woman

Okay so the vocals are obviously stunning, but HOLY SHIT this acting skills 😍😍😍😍 and the way your voice combines with your voice (lol) is just so beautiful

You are a really talented actress (and singer oc), i believed in each character from beginning to end, so cool!

My eyes say Wednesday Adams but my ears said Elphaba ha! Great job! xx

Does this now make your husband a polygamist? (two wives) *CHUCKLES*...SOOOO distinct in characterization! They are BOTH sparkly happy at points BUT THEY EACH EVEN SPARKLE DIFFERENTLY!!!!!!! Such DETAIL in individual expressions...so wonderful while each character is reacting to the other!!!! AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY ARE THINKING!!!! Character talking voices are different...character singing voices are their own! WITH all that immensely amazingly wonderful BRITTANY shining through!!!!

TAKE. THIS. WOMAN. TO. BROADWAY. THE WORLD NEEDS TO LISTEN TO THIS VOICE

I’ve got goosebumps. You are such an amazingly talented person. Your voice is out of this world

I tried to do this test of mine: close my eyes and just listen to the voice. If I can picture the singer/actor, by just listening to the voice, then I know that they used emotion, dynamics and overall have created a connection with the audience. Not only did you pass this test, (which is a test of my own and based on my own subjective opinion), I had to open my eyes to watch. I felt like I was watching the show! You presented both characters so well with different vocals to match! Love it 😍

I only just discovered your channel recently and you are by far one of the greatest singers ever. I love how you change your singing style and pitch to match the personality of the person. But you're also an INCREDIBLE actress. I love your expressions and how you put so much effort into looking so cool in every video, and so unique for the song too. I loved this performance, your facial expressions are timed just right, especially for a duet, which couldn't have been easy. If I could give a word of helpful critique: I think it would be more engaging to watch, if when you have a duet with yourself in the future, you face where your other self is to appear on the screen, rather than the audience. This makes it feel more natural of a performance and really, for me anyway, would make your acting so much greater, because we see how each of your selves react to one another (which are already spot on). Anyway I love your videos, and I'm excited to see more! ^ v ^

WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!

Love the split screen. This song ROCKS and so do YOU !!!!!!

I’m seriously speechless... I love and appreciate Wicked with my whole entire heart, and have a hard time accepting anything else than the original since I do not believe any other version gives it justice, but you. You are truly amazing. So incredibly talented! I hope great things will come your way given the talent you have:) Sending you all my love and support. Keep on shining

I just discovered you... You are absolutely amazing. The SO and I really agree you really need to be on Broadway!!

Holy shit I cried when she said the ending along the lines of “no one will bring me down” That, ma’m, was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and it saddens me that you’re not on broadway to be shown to a lot of paying customers that without a doubt would be so happy to see you perform. You have such a gift!!

AGAIN HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MILLIONS OF VIEWS

I'm actually quaking I stan one (1) musical queen ✨✨✨

please, sing a Hamilton's song

I wish you would be in Broadway, i would be so excited to watch you there

I got chills when watching this. Honestly this is one of the best voices I have ever heard and it confuses me how you aren’t on Broadway! Love it so much ❤️❤️❤️

This is powerful. I can FEEL the emotion in everything you sing. You give me chills girl. And I LOVE IT

Note for freaking note perfection!! She should be on broadway!

OMG I think I'm gonna cry! A new cover of one of my favorite singers!!!

I'm legitimately tearing up. You're amazing!

To be 100% honest, I forgot this was a cover for a moment. Dont get me wrong, your voice is unique and amazing, but you did so good I thought you were Idina for a sec

That first gravity gave me chills

Awesome, per usual!! Can you PLEASE do a Queen cover, in honor of the amazing Freddie Mercury and the movie release? You most definitely could do him justice!!

I now know where you get all of your different wigs. You snatch them from your audience! Wow! I'm truly blown away 💕💕💕💕💕

I’m obsessedddddd with this cover 😭😭❤️

Amazing how you are able to capture the essence of both characters with your change of voice. One of my favorite Broadway musicals, you brought me back to the theater listening to this!

Omg, wicked is my all time favorite musical and I'm so glad I found this!!! This is so amazing! The way you sang both parts so well. And the high notes!!! Amazing!

This is the best rendition of this song since the original cast of Wicked. You’re amazing.

that last note left me speechless

THE END HAD ME SHOOK TO THE CORE WOAHHH

I am completely shook by your talent

Damn, girl!!!!! Amazing.. I'm in tears!

You know I get exhausted listening to this? Like, that's how invested I get in these massive emotional highs. It's not something that happens a lot.

Those high notes omg

I love how you look as Elphaba in the video, your makeup, your wig, your choker, your interpretation in general, EVERYTHING! SO PERFECT!!!!

Your singing is Amazing and the makeup is on point!!!

Wow, this is the best cover ever! You should play Elphaba on Broadway or West End some day! I also love your 'take a message back from me' riff!

I would totally go to Broadway just to see you, the way you sing is insane!!! c': #BritannyonBroadway2020

Literal GOOSEBUMPS!!! This is an incredible standard of performance im quaking in my boots

Wow girl you got talent!!! I just found you here and am impressed!! Keep on singing 😍

Brittany, your singing puts a smile on my face and makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Thank you. :)

With the blonde wig she looks like katy perry

I'm rewatching this a second day, that's how great this is. It makes me so happy

OMG I LOVE HER SO MUCH

Ooooh my GOD!!!!!!!!! I'm so amused and excited, your technique is incredible! Your talent is something else. I loved this video! Thanks for such an amazing cover! I'm an instant fan. Xoxo

Britt: 1) It's so great to see you back on the screen; you have been missed during your hiatus (think of the song, Anticipation!) 2) I don't know what to say about this, without sounding like I'm gushing about your performance. OK, simply, how about I love it! 3) May I offer you and your loved ones a joyful and blessed Samhain celebration tomorrow eve. Hugs!

I wish you were on broadway already!!! You’re too good. I’ve binge watched this for an hour!

Your makeup, outfits, and voice are so........... PERFECT. HOW-

Wow. I just discovered your channel. You blow me away, your performance are heart-wrenching, you're amazing. Binging on you now, can't get enough.

Come on... Somebody put her on a Broadway Stage... Dreamy voice.... I love it...

This brings me back to those days when I sang that song like every single day... One of my all-time favourites. And your version is absolutely amazing. Not me setting it on perma-repeat right now. Cannot stop listening. Have to keep it going...

All this time and you still manage to amaze me! This is incredible! Love you girl! 💕

You give me chills Everytime. I love you 🤩

I am always thrilled to hear someone's version of Defying Gravity. Your cover was remarkable and I am so happy that you did it. Bravo.

Simply amazing!

So glad I just found your channel giving me all the happiness in the world with your voice! ❤️

You seriously need to get on Broadway. Your talent is amazing. Just incredible. Good god what the hell is your range anyway?

Absolutely brilliant..goose bumps on goose bumps..

CHILLS

Holy! What?! Amazing

Darn it the acting gets me every time. So emotional. I love it!

I GOT SO MANY CHILLS

I don't know which one is want her to play more, she's amazing as both.💛

Wow, just wow

80% of comments: You should be on broadway!! P.S. You should be on broadway!!

2 minutes in and you got me crying from the emotion in your voice in this song. Amazing.

This is absolutely wonderful in more ways than I can describe, but I'm sure plenty of others have well, so I'll talk about what I personally love the most, which was the slightest differences in how both parts were sung to match the character, even when they were singing the same thing, and as someone who sits in there car alone and is forced/willing to do all of the parts of a song, I truly appreciate the thought needed to do those things, because it really does change how it all builds together to create a wonderful song, and in this case cover. Honestly I'm just rambling now and I do apologize.

Every single time I hear one of your covers, there’s always a moment where I’m just like “holy shit, I didn’t think that was humanely possible” and that’s why you’re my favourite singer ever

This was spectacular!

Both parts??!!! AMAZING.

As soon as I saw this, I knew this song was big. You pulled this off perfectly, you have one of those voices that can amaze. That can wrestle big songs !!

You. Are. So. Underrated.

Masterpiece!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

OMG YoU'Re sO CuTe ALSO YOUR EYES ARE BEAUTIFUL YOU'RE VOICE IS SO AWESOME I CAN'T 💗💗💗💗

what- a - fantastic- video!!!!! thank you very much! pure Art!♥

Can't imagine how hard this was to record!!! This is amazing, the timing is perfect!

Never get old

Asked a while back if you were doing a studio version of this, and wow did you deliver. Your performance moved me to tears, mission accomplished. Thank you so much! You hold an impressive talent, keep doing great things!

I loved your vocals! Especially the end!

this is my favorite song !!! i love it

BRAVO!!!
