this is because they were not written by @River

Is it just me or does this version sounds a bit slower than the original? And I just hate the long time before the final bars. I know it is in the movie, but it ruins the streamability….

I really love their version and its instrumentation

Idk how they managed to match, if not outdo, the original version it’s truly remarkable 😫

[bionic 50,111]

the switch from the "its me" spoken dialogue to sung verse (you know the one) at the end is laughable

Of the many wonderful things about the movie, I hated how Defying Gravity ultimately turned out. They butchered the pacing and musicality of it.

Looks like there's a lot of people holding space for the lyrics this week

they left time for people to really hold space with the lyrics

I know  throats are hurting right now

I hate this version lost all the theatre and declamative essence of the song plus the urgence. It's heavy and slow. A skip and half, it made me lose most of the hype for this movie.
