Defying Gravity from Wicked is featured in 100, the twelfth episode of Season Five. It is sung by Kurt, Mercedes, and Rachel. They re-do the song previously sung in Wheels, the ninth episode of Season One, as part of the show's special hundredth episode. Rachel and Mercedes had been rivalizing ever since their return to McKinley High School. While being interviewed on Fondue For Two, Rachel and Mercedes realize that they plan to sing the same song to glee club. Although Rachel objects that herself and Kurt wanted to sing the song, Mercedes manages to persuade her to let the three of them sing it, and to make it a diva-off between the two of them. As a result, Mercedes, Kurt, and Rachel end up singing "Defying Gravity" in front of the current and past New Directions. They want them to vote for who should win the diva-off, but Will gets them to postpone that until the following day. LYRICS: Mercedes: Something has changed within me Something is not the same I'm through with playing by the rules Of someone else's game Rachel: Too late for second guessing Too late to go back to sleep Kurt: It's time to trust my instincts Close my eyes and leap! It's time to try defying gravity Rachel: I think I'll try defying gravity Mercedes: Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity And you won't bring me down, no Rachel: I'm through accepting limits 'Cause someone says they're so Kurt: Some things I cannot change But till I try I'll never know! Rachel: Too long I've been afraid of Losing love I guess I've lost Mercedes: Well, if that's love It comes at much too high a cost I'd sooner buy defying gravity Rachel: Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity Kurt: I think I'll try defying gravity Mercedes: And you won't bring me down I'd sooner buy defying gravity Rachel: Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity Kurt: I think I'll try defying gravity Rachel: And you won't bring me down Mercedes: Bring me down
