Who the heck arranged this let's give him a Grammy now

[mylesmigl]

That last minute had more surprises than an M Knight Shyamalan script

[therealtonykevin]

Honestly, the level of musicianship and precision is mind boggling. I can’t wrap my mind around how you all found each other and pulled this off. It’s perfection and a true gift to us all. Damn.

[Koopatroop]

If the "Wizard of Oz" had a funk/soul remake of "The Wiz, " I think this song proves we need a funk/soul remake of Wicked.

[Georgewalking]

This is magic. Great arrangement, band is TIGHT, vocals are clean. Audio production is smooooth baby!

[Crz_YT]

I love it when YouTube comes up with some random suggestion and you find out it's actually a f masterpiece! 😁

[LittleBrownToast]

oh how I wish this could be the end credits song for the movie!! I love this sm

[shayxie]

okay I came in salty af, prepared to hate this song set to funk. I was dancing in my seat about 10 seconds in, and I'm sorry for being a jerk. That was SO fun and beautiful and wonderful and thank you guys!

[bengolding]

Oh this did NOT disappoint. Heard a preview of this on TikTok and had to come here straight away. The groove is sensational and it sounds SUBLIME through my speakers - what a mix. Incredible work all!!!

[NuveMetal]

"Absolutely loving this funky twist on 'Defying Gravity'! 🎶 Amanda Barise's vocals are incredible, and the groove is just unbeatable! Can't stop dancing!"

[liriamaraujo]

I NEEED THIS IN It’s soooo good, the música, the voices, the video EVERYTHING is perfect.

[alloallie]

OH HELP ME ! As someone who loves 70s funk and whose favourite musical is Wicked, I just about spazzed at the whole video. Amazing !

[cliffordgeneral]

This is the best cover I’ve heard in YEARS!! I need this arrangement 😂😩😮‍💨

[RhunWords]

How in the hell this only got 50k looks I'm witnessing greatness

[bpfastfeet]

Amanda is incredible here! And also want to shout out the WRITING of this rendition. Time signature work must have been a nightmare to keep this tune in the funk/disco pocket. Awesome work everyone!

[RyanSmithSays]

THIS IS FUNK. Well done with this arrangement.

[SeraphsWitness]

It's insane that you're not as popular as Postmodern Jukebox. This is amazing.

Al Jarreau meets Elphaba. So many layers..Screaming horns.
