Ive heard some shaky live performances from time to time from Menzel, including this particular song, but she sure nailed it on this evening. Well done. Great orchestra backing her up also.
She is definitely an outstanding theatre artist ! The way she puts the emotions of the character into the song and still hitting all those notes with not only clarity but so much passion it’s amazing !
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 Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity And you won't bring me down I'm through accepting limits 'Cause someone says they're so Some things I cannot change But till 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 I think I'll try defying gravity And you won't bring me down Unlimited (unlimited) My future is (my future is) unlimited (unlimited) And I've just had a vision, almost like a prophecy I know, it sounds truly crazy And true, the vision's hazy But I swear, someday I'll be Flying so high (defying gravity) Kiss me goodbye (defying gravity) So if you care to find me Look to the western sky As someone told me lately "Everyone deserves the chance to fly" I'm defying gravity And you won't bring me down Bring me down Bring me down
I feel as if her voice is always changing to some sort of different styles which is an amazing talent too It’s like with Elsa’a singing voice from frozen it goes a lot more lower pitched especially with “let it go” and her voice slows down more but then when’s she’s performing “defying gravity” here her voice’s tempo sort of goes faster and slower.

She was singing this song for years...ofc she knew the lyrics. This is just the solo version of the song...she even sang this version first when she was performing on TV without Galinda when she was still Elphie on Broadway
