Music Mix-up Post 14

Apparently, last week, Blogger was having issues, and if you haven't seen Music mix-up Post 13, that's because it went missing.  It happened to a lot of people....   *argh! sigh* I've emailed them, hoping to see if they can find it.  Otherwise, I'm going to have to rewrite.
    I thought about redoing it for this week, but I really wanted to share a song that is very special to me for my birthday week, so I decided not to...  May I present to you, "Defying Gravity," from the Broadway Musical "Wicked."  I know what you all are thinking - "Wicked?"  Wicked is the story behind two of the most famous witches of all time - the Wicked Witch of the West and Glenda from "The Wizard of Oz."  I've never seen the movie, and I haven't seen the Broadway show, but this song is amazing!!  I couldn't decide which music video I wanted to put up, so I decided to do two.  The first one sort of tells the story behind the song, but the part of Glinda isn't played by Kristen Chenoweth - I don't know who this girl is, but I love Kristen Chenoweth and Idina Menzel's duo, so I put that video up too. :)  Enjoy!



And this one is the one with Kristen Chenoweth and Idina Menzel.... They are just amazing together!  I know the video isn't the best, but I just love the two of them together!! (I know, I keep repeating myself! I can't help it... :D)




So there you have it - one of my most absolutely favorite songs of all times... One of my favorite lines is: Too long I've been afraid of losing love I've guess I've lost.  Well if that's love, it comes at much too high a cost.
  I am a people pleaser... It isn't something I'm proud of, and I work on it.... but I realize that I do do things so that people will be happy.  And I can't do that anymore - I have to do what is right/best for me and what God wants, regardless.  So, this year, I'm going to try and "defy gravity." I'll let you know how it goes! 
  (Oh, and if you want to read the whole story between Glinda and Elphaba, you can read about it on wikipedia.  They have a synopsis for ya.)
     In His Love,
