Transcript

00:00We're filming Defying Gravity, and it's the part where we're about to sing.

00:03Does your light defy gravity?

00:08Will your light defy gravity?

00:13And never bring us down.

00:16And two things happened right before that shot.

00:20Right before that shot, we had broken for lunch,

00:23and for some reason, the lunch that day had so many onions in it,

00:26and Cynthia was like having a heart attack.

00:29And also, the steamer had burnt my butt cheek.

00:37When my skirt was being fixed.

00:38Literal imprint.

00:39So just know next time that you see the boom shot,

00:42and we're singing that moment together.

00:44I'm suffering through smelling so many onions.

00:47We come back from lunch, and she goes,

00:49what is this, an onion farm?

00:52And my ass cheek was burning.

00:55So next time you see that shot, picture.

00:58My ass is on fire, my ass is on fire, my ass is on fire.

01:01There was an ice pack in between takes,

01:03and onions that she was suffering from.

01:06And that's our story.
