DEFYING GRAVITY Wicked (Live Cover) | Jennifer Glatzhofer 

This slaps! Love how you kept your own accent in there too!

OK, I admit when I saw this title my first thought was "Well, that's gutsy!" I mean, it's a difficult song, so I didn't have super high expectations. You certainly exceeded my expectations and it was a wonderful, emotional, and powerful performance. Congratulations! I loved it.

This is my first time watching you cover a song, and damn! you nailed it! WOW! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars!

Wow😍😍😍😍 Got curious aftr watching you react to 4th impacts' covers... Got soo amazed with this... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Wow! Hope a collab with Morissette someday.

😲😲😲😲😲 that was fantastic!! I love this so much!!❤️❤️❤️thank you for sharing your talent!!

This wonderful performance gives me a better understanding of where your bar is set when you're impressed with groups you review. Thank you for a fantastic interlude to a Monday.

Lovely Jennifer! Lovely song, lovely singer! I liked the bits of grit we wand rasp, have you ever done any jazz numbers? Keep up the songs and the reviews and the vlogs, we love it all!

Well Jen, couldn't resist, could ya'. Not half bad for a musical theatre kid. Seriously though, I'd put your effort somewhere between Queen Mori and Jessie j. I love your pronunciation of cawn't, btw.

Wow, amazing job. Great clarity and volume. This is the second video of yours I've watch, first was Home Free Mayday, ill be watching more. Keep the videos coming. God bless love.

It's time to accept that your ability to replicate covers is solid. Write some songs and sing them. LIKE YOU MEAN IT. Songs about things that draw the passion out of you and as by-standers we get to enjoy it. It's your growth we get enjoyment out from... if we had the talent or the courage... we would be making the videos ourselves.

But the Wicked Witch was the last non-British villain in Hollywood. j/k this was beyond amazing. I really liked the speaking and speak-singing parts and 'So if you care to find me, look to the Western sky' The whole thing is fantastic.

Shut up, 𝒚𝒐𝒖'𝒓𝒆 crying 😭😍💖🥰🌹🌹🌹

Unpopular opinion: Idina Mendel is talented but overrated. I like your placement better, frankly. Idina has a ton of passion and stage presence, but she's really not technically very good.

Excellent Jen!! Took me back to the first time seeing wicked. Love your voice !!

A chef's kiss performance 🧑‍🍳💋 ✨✨

Hve to admit enjoy your reaction and this is the first i listen to you . annnnd what dummy i am that was beautiful and wow high LOL guess we are off of vocial rest LOL LOVED it!!! Yes i saw that proformer come out full force really in the song

That growl was ICONIC! Amazing cover!

Haven't heard you in a while, but as always, what a beautiful voice and so clear. Heel mooi weer!!

Great voice! Like a river, it is sometimes violent and sometimes drifting. But there is a clear intention in the wonderful expression. Your singing ability and technique were excellent! Well done.

You defied expectations.

Wow, Jennifer!! When watching this, I didn't see you singing in front of a mic. I saw you singing on a stage. Way to take me there!!

Fantastic Job! Time to purchase some green makeup!

Asum soo good like it the belt was krisp and juice love the lower part relly give the dramatic feels too the song good moment for you soo prod over you

errrr why are you not famous!!!??? what a great cover ^_^ kudos!

Amazing 😻 one of my favorite covers! Beautiful voice, so full of emotion 😃

Yes yes yassss! No one can pull Jenn down. That's for sure 😃.

Wow, wow, wow!! Your voice and vocal skill are fantastic; I already knew that. But your acting is just - you had me in tears. Thanx for doing this!

Do you know what that’s a very hard song to sing and you do it wonderfully love that version That was wicked

Just call you the Navigator, because that's a hard song to sing and you just sailed right through it!

Great Cover, you are your own best student, I was was able to hear you use so many of the tools you talk about....well done!

Impressive. And gorgeous. Thanks, Jennifer, for bringing your super skills to this difficult song. It soared.

Jennifer, I enjoyed your performance of Defying Gravity very much. I have watched your analysis of Pentatonix, but to see you as performer add a new appreciation of your art. Scott and Mitch (Superfruit) do a version of Defying Gravity, I assume you have seen. If not, you might enjoy it. I was 100% classic rock, fan until I found Image Dragons. Then I found Pentatonix, now I am Pentaholic. Thank you.

That performance was as impressively acted as it was sung, and it was sung magnificently. It's clear that musical theater is something you are very familiar with and I loved that you performed it as if on stage. Had goose bumps in multiple spots and I could tell by the look in your eyes that you knew you were nailing it which totally translates to the audience. Can't say enough about how much I enjoyed that four minutes and will likely be coming back for multiple helpings 😃

Phenomenal!! I love your version. The way you ‘act’ the songs you sing, the emotions you channel…😘🥰. Thank you for sharing. ‘Til next time, stay safe and stay well. 😷😎✌🏻🤟🏻🤙🏻🖖🏻

WOW! You sounded AMAZING! And the last notes… breathtaking! 💚 Hope to see you soon on Broadway! 😉💚

pentatonix,,, daft punk,,great video

Brilliant! Loved every moment. I found you through your reactions to Pentatonix, heard little tastes of your voice during that and I dug further. I am NOT disappointed.

Wow, Defying Gravity? Seriously? There are plenty of safe options you could have went with here, but no. Miss swing for the fences, no guts no glory, just bring it and sing it. Fine. It’s your song now, ok? There I said it. Are you happy? Now what is everyone else supposed to do? Cover a different song, that’s what. ☺️

Immaculate. Very well done. Tomorrow is Sohyang's birthday. Maybe...🤞😁🙏

The way I clicked this IMMEDIATELY. Still watching the ads to give you that bag but omg can’t wait to hear!!

Nice one

Okay, hang on a minute there. You just gave me goosebumps. Now I have to take my wife to see “Wicked” when it comes to Houston. I want to see if the performer comes close to YOU! I am now a fan.

🎖🎖🎖👍👍👍👍🎖🎖🎖

never thought I'd hear someone sing this as well (or better) than Idina Menzel....buuuut, I think this cover is superb and borderline better than hers. Kudos!

👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

Beautiful Jennifer love your voice

Absolutely fantastic! I love your reactions and was so intrigued when I saw the title AND that you would be the one singing. This song takes such skill to pull off and you did it beautifully!!! Please keep including more of your work for us to see!

Amazing vocals! Especially loved where you added in some growl and other types of distortion. I found it kept me really engaged when you spoke instead of sung. I think that also helped to make the song seem more like part of a story and not just another song.

WOW🥺❤️

Very nice rendition coach,I love your version. God bless.

Nice! I was wondering, do you have exercises anywhere for expanding range? Saw the mixed voice ones on this channel. Time to start another experiment!

A-flipping-mazing, full stop.

I don't have word!! Your tone and expression is amazing! To be honest, this is the first I've heard you sing and you did not disappoint!! You have an great voice!

Im from philippines. You have a nice voice 😍😍😍😘😘

Bravo. Not really a musical fan. More of a blues guy. But there's no denying your talent.

Awesome cover Jennifer! Always love your singing. 😊 Loved the *grit* at 2:45! And what a finish! 👏

Just our Disney princess Jennifer womderful

Hola genial.analiza a dimash kudaibergen .quiero ver tu reacción.gracias.desde Cipolletti Argentina

Outstanding performance. Really loved it. Thank you.

heckin GOOSEBUMPS from your first note. The perfection 😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I love every detail from the growl on «much» to those lovely open vowels in the middle, and then the growl and slide on LOOK! AND THE BEEEEELTS. Omg perfection!!! It’s everything 😍 I can’t express how much I enjoyed this, it’d be a whole book.

Wow!!!

I love your version... 👍🏼👏😍

This was BEAUTIFUL! 😭 💖

Now I know why you describe yourself as Musical Theatre. A perfect voice for it.

Absolutely beautiful!

Magnifique performance j adore merci

Wonderful. I enjoyed it so much.

Thanks algorithm

Absolutely awesome! You have a beautiful voice!

Love your expressions

Superb performance on this song - Bravo

Damn girl you have a beautiful voice! Well done.

Damn!!!! That was Fan-freakin-tastic!!!! Well done!!!! 🤗❤✌

Wow! You have a great voice!

Damn! Great performance Jennifer! You've got such a wonderful music theater worthy voice. Fantastic performance! It must be one of my favorites of yours considering I had to listen to it thrice in a row. So very, very well done!

I was very fortunate to get to see Wicked in Dallas some years ago (long after the original cast left) and this song was the highlight of the musical for me. You have done the song proud.

When I saw the title I already knew it was going to be amazing and guess what... you totally killed it! Well done, Jennifer! 👏👏

Muito lindo sua voz e sua técnica vocal, meus parabéns! Can you tell me what is your microphone and how much at gain you use?

Magnificent!

Nicely done! Interesting how some Brits lose their accent when singing, but I clearly heard yours come thru on "can't" and "chance" - so fun

Wow, that was amazing. You have a very beautiful voice & sing with such expression & emotion.

Well… I didn’t know until this very moment that I wanted to see Wicked. If it’s half as impressive as this I’ll leave very happy.

I don't want to read too many other comments before adding my own, so here it is. Remember that this is my opinion only. At the beginning, my first thought was that this is good, but missing the "omph" that I expected from this. I'm not a voice teacher, but you are. And I suspect that you also would miss some "omph" moments watching yourself later. Not that it's not good, in my opinion it really is. But I think the performance lacks a little soul, especially at the beginning. Then we come to the end, and it changes a bit. The "omph" is beginning to make its way into the performance, so its good again. Total score from me would be a 7/10. 2.5 points for missing "omphs", and half a point for not sharing your soul in the last belts. That said, I'm a big fan. Please keep up your reactions, they are up there among the best of the best.

Bravo.

Very beautiful! now we need Home Free to do a reaction video to you

Amazing!

Gorgeous!

Well done, Jennifer. I was very impressed. Thank you for sharing that.

Loved it!

This song sits well for you, Jen! Nicely done! I liked the breathy sections and your expressive use of dynamics. Great belting as well. Now when are we gonna hear some more Aretha Franklin like in that band clip you posted?

Wow!!

Wow!

Wow! Ur transitions were seamless, ur mix is amazing, and that growl👌🏼

Bravo! Well done little one! I had reservations when I saw the title. I've heard you sing before and enjoyed all of them but even I know the difficulty of this song and honestly wasn't expecting you to be this good! I could actually see you living this song as you sang! I think this is your best cover yet and will never doubt your ability again! Stunning performance!

You go girl!!!!!

I remember going to my very first theatre performance and it was to see Wicked. I thought I would hate the theatre until this song came on. This just gives me good vibes.

As I said already before: broadway voice! Very difficult song, and you dit it great! Keep singing, please. Sorry, no more comments, 'cause I'm gonna hear it again now ;) Best wishes!

You f*ckin hero. Can you give me directions to the morgue? Cuz you just Kilt it.

watch Superfruit do this song. Mitch Kills it.
