sadness ratings would b great tbh dhjshxjdb

okay yeah!! also like, i’m gonna sort of try to take a “so you’re listening to these songs for the first time” perspectived kind of approach

1. Hold Me, Bat Boy - (not that sad)

it’s technically all about how terrible the bat boy’s existence is and how he suffers throughout the story, but it’s the opening number and also tonally isn’t trying to be like, emotionally sad. also it’s undeniably strange even by the extra-strange standards for the whole musical, as in like, i still don’t feel like i fully understand what it’s trying to tell me there.

2. Christian Charity - (not at all sad)

mostly just setting up parts of the story.

3. Ugly Boy - (not at all sad)

it’s kinda :( just in terms of the fact that its a song about shelley calling edgar gross and that’s just like aw cmon don’t be mean to him

4. Whatcha Wanna Do? - (not at all sad)

same as the previous song, it’s someone being mean to edgar again but it’s not actually sad or anything

(4.5 Hey Freak - (not that sad))

(this is the west end production’s version of both ugly boy and whatcha wanna do. the Ugly Boy equivalent verses are a little bit harsher and kind of like “he’s totally gonna die” so that’s a bit of a bummer. also rick’s “rapping loudly and whitely” verses in whatcha wanna do are sung even more awkwardly. but really, it’s not sad. i’m just being generous abt it)

5. A Home For You - (a bit sad)

the first song that’s kinda quieter / downtempo, and tonally more emotional, and definitely bittersweet, but more on the sweet side, so it’s probably not like, gonna be too heartbreaking to listen to or anything. a bit touching even

6. Another Dead Cow - (not that sad)

it’s a bummer that it’s about the economic struggles of this small community, but like, seriously it’ll be fine, it’s not a sad song lol

7. Dance With Me, Darling - (not that sad)

it would be a “not at all sad” but the fact that meredith is having to deal with dr parker is also like. a bit depressing. but it isn’t a sad song. you may notice that there’s an ominous and dramatic interlude towards the end but that’s about dr parker keeping edgar alive with fresh blood

8. Mrs. Taylor’s Lullaby - (not at all sad)

well they’re being mean to edgar again but it’s really not a sad song either lol don’t worry

9. Show You A Thing Or Two - (not that sad)

it’s not a sad song at all either, it’s just a fun one really. i’m only saying it’s a bit sad because edgar has a bit of a tough time in the beginning and i’m like aw hang in there buddy :( but seriously, it’s not gonna be sad to listen to

10. Christian Charity (reprise) - (not that sad)

it’s another instance of people being mean to edgar, but it’s a little sadder to prior examples of this b/c it’s sort of about the town’s animosity for him solidifying and having them like….just throw out threats to kill him like yikes….not tonally sad though so it’s not that bad. the one instance of dr parker not being wholly useless but that only lasts for like ten seconds

11. A Home For You (reprise) - (a little sad)

it’s really not tonally sad either, there’s just a bit of poignancy to edgar like, desperately hoping that the fact he has a navel means he might have a human family and Belong in the world despite the fact that the townspeople seem to hate him already

12. Comfort And Joy - (a little sad)

like, this is the act 1 closing number that’s laying out the conflicts that are setting the stage for act 2 so like, the focus on what all the characters are really wanting is sort of sad, especially edgar’s solo b/c that’s kind of the most solemn, slower, emotional part of the song and leads into its climax. but god the fact that this song is so good and such a fucking jam kind of keeps it from being too tragic to listen to. though the Best Version aka the one with will roland is a bit tougher to listen to emotionally b/c they’re all giving such intense performances, honestly, and the emotion in this song really is Very Much There

13. A Joyful Noise - (not at all sad)

yeah there’s really nothing to say…..its Not Sad

14. Let Me Walk Among You - (a bit sad)

as usual, it’s not like, that sad to listen to really, but it IS about edgar kind of pleading his case in front of all the townspeople to beg them to give him a chance to be accepted and like, he’s wistfully describing all the sorts of average, everyday experiences he wants to have, so like. it’s not the most lighthearted but it’s still not that rough to listen to

15. A Joyful Noise (reprise) - (happy)

this is the high point of the whole musical lol so it’s fine and fun

16. Three Bedroom House - (not that sad)

despite technically being a sort of sad point in the plot for sure, the tone is pretty cheerful b/c the characters are being so optimistic about being able to turn it around. this kind of falls apart at the very end though :/

17. Children, Children - (a bop)

this one’s a lot of fun. it’s sort of a second high point that’s not as much of a high point as before, but still. and it’s a bop. i will never not say how the ensemble coming in with the “oooooo-shalala” harmony really sets me tf off in, like, a good way, because this song slaps

18. Inside Your Heart - (yeah sorta sad)

automatically more of an emotional number b/c it’s the Love Song of the soundtrack…it doesn’t really drag you through it but edgar’s out there believing that it’s not safe for people to be near him and, it may be immediately undercut by shelley’s matter-of-fact response, but the Intense Dramatic Crescendo delivery of edgar trying to get shelley to leave him behind is fairly sad even if the moment is brief lol…..but overall the number’s basically just a sweet one and it pretty much turns into Part 2 of the second high point, so, it’s also fine

(18.5 Mine, All Mine - (still sorta sad yeah))

(the west end production’s version of “inside your heart”…it starts out differently and has shelley and edgar argue a bit with shelley getting frustrated before they get to the matter of edgar needing blood, so that’s interesting. but it’s still the love song and still sweet, and it’s a minute longer than inside your heart, so that’s just more time for emotions. once again i find that edgar pleading with shelley makes me go “oof”)

19. Apology To A Cow - (hmm yeah sad-esque)

i mean it’s getting right into the Tragic Finale setup here, and it’s all about edgar’s emotional distress basically, but by this point he’s moved right onto the Anger stage of things so it’s not really a sad song

20. I Imagine You’re Upset - (probably the saddest one)

this is where all the characters have their emotional confrontations, and edgar is starting the song off wanting to die, so like, it’s no “a joyful noise” reprise. the fact that it reprises a lot of other songs though is also helping with that emotional impact though, ugh……as useless and terrible as dr parker is, his duet with meredith which is sort of a reprise of “let me walk among you” is like, the Sadness Climax and also the actual climax of the song really, so. but it’s not likely that it’s like, going to be too hard to listen to still

21. I Am Not A Boy / Hold Me, Bat Boy (reprise) - (yeah kinda sad)

the bit at the very beginning is sad yeah but like, it’s just this 10-second exchange….and then after that, the reprise of the opening song is also like, it’s sad b/c it’s reflecting on the whole tragedy that just unfolded, but everyone’s singing to the audience, and it’s not trying to be a tearjerker.

overall yeah: it’s not gonna be very hard to listen to, especially with the limited context of Just The Songs / listening to them for the first time, since like, various reveals in act 2 make previous material sadder in retrospect. but yeah it shouldn’t be too bad or anything.

#Anonymous #i listened to each of the songs while writing this so i could be sure lol...#it's a tragedy and it Is sad and yet the soundtrack isnt very like overwhelming emotionally or anything

Tel Aviv 2019: Straight outta Spain to Eurovision with whole lotta fun

youtube

Dare I say Operación Triunfo is a little bit of... a Choice?

I mean, you got yourself a format that a bunch of young-aged/teen/late-teen aged droolies follow for the drama more than the music, at least that’s what I suppose it is because it’s one of those singing reality shows where you’re oh so very welcome to follow the lives of all the 20-somethings that were unfortunate to sign the contract of the show, not being able to read all the fine-prints in the contract and later regretting not doing so because things like Eurovision. In Israel. But more on that later.

But this is Espain, and this is the sad state of television that is today - if they like your shitty talent show with 24/7 followship of the contestants, and if they watch that, and if they eat that with a spoonful, chances are you’re going to prolong its post-mortem revival state in order to maaaaaybe attract a new audience and acquire a new shippable couple people will vote “a Eurovisión”. Even if your last couple sucked. And even managed to break up unceremoniously sometime before the 2019 show’s Eurovision final <3 god bless them for finally breaking the chain and breaking the hearts of thousands who were ‘dying’ for the ship. It was never EVER meant to last.

So is it a no surprise that Operación went thriving for another year? Certaintly at least it’s no joy to bear with another amount of subpar desperates from every other corner of Spain, but only because Spain deserves a better NF format. I mean, with these other NF formats we can at least have a variety of artists with their own (or composed by others) songs, and it doesn’t matter an inch whether the public’s big fave gets rigged out to me - as long as it’s just a NF I can get easily over with, it’s all fine to me! And of course OT is also fine for me, it’s just that people are begging for it to get axed for some reason. Maybe because of all the ships?

I don’t want to put too much more thought of what happened in the reality show other than the Eurovision Gala, BUT I seemed to notice something rather crazy. You see, at first we had Natalia (or was it Alba Reche or Sabela even?) heavily speculated as the winner pre-show, but in the end the OT glory was all handed to some Dutch-born boy of Nigerian origin named... Famous. Not shitting you, it is his name. But what’s the saddest part about this? Famous CLEARLY wanted it all to himself just because of Eurovision being included in the contract. Yet his only victory in life is being the best among the rest of these stars that were watched over 24/7. Unfortunately, Mr. Oberogo couldn’t make this out to be in his favour in the Eurovision-special gala, to which the “triunfitos” can attend if they have songs chosen for them in the lineup, and yes he was admitted, but then he was given a SUCH DISAPPOINTING SONG EHMERGERD!!!!!!!! :’(

youtube

(lol calm yer ladyhormones, “No puedo mas” wasn’t THAT bad, it’s just that given Famous did songs like “Nobody but You” (yes THAT one) on the show, you’d expect something contemporary soulful, not just blatant radio filler that could have easily been an EYD reject?)

So how did it all happen that the girls were rooted for to win OT, but in the end the one that wanted Eurovision the most won? And how come the one that wanted the Eurovision the most was given a song that paled in comparison to that one song that was performed by someone who was blatantly against going to ESC because “nuuuuu Israel stop hurting Palestine” and that one being favoured to win? AND HOW COME ONE OF THE BIGGEST SHOW’S VILLAINS GOT HANDED ABSOLUTE SLAYAGE OF THE SONGS?? Honestly it’s for the best if Spain is just there to subdue everyone’s expectations, just like they did when choosing Manel (be it because of a corrupt juror or whatever). They did it every single turn of the time this year during OT’s run.

And of course I’ll forever love them for that, as the end result was AN ABSOLUTE FUCKING FIESTA BANGER. Courtesy of Miki (Núñez).

Ngl, the first thing I went in for about “La venda” before listening to it was through this first impression tweet on Miki’s ‘eliminated’ song from the selection, “El equilibrio”:

BITCH HOW WAS SHE NOT READY TO SEE THAT COMING AT HER.

Granted, the sudden start of happy sounds rushing right at me was a little startling, but I was able to cope with it and jam to the song in the end.

I completely adore this one, it’s so powerfully joyful with all its instruments and the Spanish language, the interesting turn of events in lyrics, the incredibly easy probability to sing along to this (LO QUE EEEEERE! LO QUE ERE ERE E!), the authenticity, the cultural roots (tbqh Eurovision countries should be welcome to embrace their culture rather than stray further away from it! also this is why more native languages other than English are encouraged)... mmm-mmm.

And like I said, for some reason Miki was seen as a grand villain to the show, and even if I didn’t follow OT all that much, I was constantly questioning why, and after seeing him eliminated I only wanted to know if people in Espain were rejoicing about it. The against-agenda turned up onto him again when he happened to have the most songs in the internet selection bunch handed to him (THREE!!! Two solo tracks and a duet.), but nothing there was to worry, as instead other favourites were discovered, therefore Miki ended up in the dust for a while. Up until something happened that got him a big surge of votes at the end. Go figure.

Despite all this, I think it’s the right direction for Spain songwise! Me gusta mucho, and not only personally, but also objectively, honestly. Miki’s got a right enough good song for the nation and provided the revamp doesn’t make it crash and burn (yes, the good friend of a Eurovision song - the revamp! It’s happening), it’s safe to say that Spain can stand a chance. Not win, for now, but stand a chance. Yes.

Before I repeat myself some more I’d probably have to add this part for no reason as it came from my Twitter review for “La venda” this time, as I heard songs 1 day before the NF as when I expected the NF to go on Saturday but it was on a Sunday:

BITCH HOW WAS I WRONG. Well mostly thanks to the fact the fanwank-ess of OT ESC Gala actively asked to direct her votes to Miki’s song (Monika Marija teas amirite), but still, WRONG!

Now that I finally composed my thoughts I guess, let’s all go and read the below verdict I’m putting this up for:

Approval factor: I’m giving this a big fat SÍ!

Follow-up factor: Of course I like it way better than “Tu canciYAWN”, there’s no doubt in it :) and after Almaia’s romance advertisement they’re doing a great job by coming back to their great Spanish roots of music, honestly. And it’s better that way than forcing a ship onto a Eurovision 2018 ship, so yeah

Big 5 factor: As of this time Spain lowkey fizzled out with everyone now that a big wave of other faves arised, BUT I don’t think that Spain’s drowning in misery this year, not at all! With right kind of energy of the staging and uplift Spain can totally woo them televoters this time around, making them “lo que ere” their worries away to the sunset. And this is a positive thing - as if juries decide to drown this sometimes and televoters don’t, it will still soar somewhere up high enough in top 15.

NATIONAL FINAL BONUS

Now, I don’t quite think this year’s OT was quite as memetic as I expected, but we still have had some pre-NF gems, just like this:

• “THEN POLKA”. That one moment was also brought up to her on her OT Eurovision Gala postcard.

youtube

• and this one contestant’s gloriously accidental butt-shot

Though we did have a handful of these kind of moments on the Gala itself (and surrounding it), such as:

• NF’s biggest favourite to win songwise not even trying. Yes, there are those NF winners which underperform but only because they don’t seem to know better, but did you know that there are THOSE like María Villar who decide against it? Basically, she was one of those opposing against the situation in Israel with Palestine, so out of protest towards all this, she voluntarily went against doing Eurovision in a nation like this by encouraging her fans to vote for Miki the night before and sacrificing any slightest grains of trying with her performance - by barely dancing on stage and not outselling anything vocally. And it worked to some extent, as she came SECOND only, and shortly after Miki won, she spoke out loud that she was satisfied to not have become the victor (I mean she just thanked everyone for not voting her to ESC lol). But you know what, for situations like these I really do love ESC NFs - where everything predictable is upturned by some sort of events like these. I mean, I like "Muérdeme", it’s catchy, Latino-appealing enough (for those whores thirsty for Luis Fonsi and similar fucks who sing in Spanish on English songs these days), has a cool breakdown and what not, but it would just probably bring back another disappointing result from Eurovision much to fans’ dismay, especially if the Tel Aviv (oh wait sorry... for Maria’s case this would have probably been Limassol or Vienna) edition was to bring many bops for this time around that are BIGGER and BETTER than this one. It’s just happening that it’s unfortunate to be Spain...

• Yet again, putting Famous up on here, but of course he was disappointed to not get that win. I know I’m not the right person to judge considering I’m WHOLE THREE DAYS YOUNGER than him, but I’d still tell him he only had RTVE to blame for giving him THAT in the end and putting him through online voting rounds... and speaking of:

• Like I mentioned before several times, there was an online voting round for to pick-pocket the songs that sounded the best out of the demo-ic snippets of a minute or less. Its top 3 was of course dominated by ladies and their own bangers/just likeable enough songs, with poor Famous being 4th in it (and the top 3 is a must on there to be automatically admitted to the show without any higher-ups shuffling the other competitors ‘round later on and toying with their fates). I liked the complete final cut of the Gala for the most part, but boy did they miss out some, like this male laidback-acoustic pop bop “Sale”, courtesy of Damion Frost. I can at least forgive the loss of “El equilibrio”, but this? Nah siree. And yeah I know this whole shtick is a tire, but I like some of it, and I saw a worse track from the same shtick collection qualifying through higher-ups and that’s NOT boding well with me.

youtube

(yes of course Manel happened but still)

• Miki joining the glorious wall of epic NF victory reactions with his O face of total cartooney awkwardness <3

• and Eleni Foureira being able to rock a trashbag as a dress during her guest performance of both “Fuego” and her ‘new’ ‘smash’ hit in partially more Spanish than “Fuego” was - “Tómame”. Granted the juxtapose transition was a little too jarring, but hey - 2 songs for a price of 1. Go get them Spanish audience people acknowledging your pop art Elli <3 (also her chitchat with the ESC Gala host about what do you need to do good in Eurovision <3)

At this point I’m too not fucked to remember more of them but I’m really sure I missed a lot of the OT lulziness that happened before the Gala, during and after it (such as Natalia (who also sang one song in the NF with Miki himself) not wanting ESC but still trying better than Maria). I don’t want to be reminded of them, as my review’s as long as it is. But I’m sure someone else remembers, so I’ll let them judge.

This song can play on the saddest day of my life and I will sing and dance to it without hesitation.

I was 12 when I first heard this song. I wasn’t really sure about some of the music I was listening to but this one when I would listen to it It would normally be raining and my mom would connect the speaker to my phone and we’d run and dance in the rain. When my boyfriends would get caught cheating on me growing up I’d play this song as my redemption song. If I had an arch in an anime this would be the song that hyped the audience up for me. The underdog of uselessness. I didn’t know how to dance at first so it was just singing and arm waving. But now when it plays its DRAMATIC ARM waving and dramatic leg kicking and dancing really stupidly.

My dad used to hate this song.. but he would sing with me. Everything was perfect when the song played. It was like all the worst most terrible things going on couldn’t hold me back if this bop played. And it didn’t. When I got into highschool I didn’t share my music with my friends... as much.. but when Christina came into my life.. everyday felt like this song. Christina was my hype song! One day things went downhill for her and her boyfriend and we were listening on my phone because he took her headphones.. and.. this song played.. and she just looked at me.. and then I started singing and dancing and I grabbed her hands and made her dance with me. It was pretty awkward because it was the first time we were silly together like that.. but I didn’t stop. And when the song finished she asked for the name.

This isn’t my song.. when I say that it’s mine it just makes me feel good- but it’s everyone in my life’s song. I want everyday to feel like this. I want everyday to start off this way.. I want my heart to beat this excitedly always.. everytime I hear it.. I feel it.

I used to not be happy.. I used to be really bitter. I can still be.. but everyday my joy grows. Everyday this song plays more and more.. everyday I get to live I’ve chosen the happiest parts of life.

Everyday I learn to be better.. and if someone posts this song as the song they love too. I’ll be glad of it. Everyone deserves to feel this happy. Everyone does. Not a soul doesn’t deserve to see the light.

top 10 Disney Animated Movie Songs of all time

Disney Studio

Still, it's time I've really got some hot takes going, so I've taken it upon myself to sort out what I humbly think for the 10 most OVERLOOKED and UNDERRATED animated Disney movie songs of all time.

10. "When She Loved Me," Toy Story 2

youtube

Disney Studio

Some Context: Jessie reveals to a pompous Woody what it's like to lose your child's love. It's one of the worst, most painful scenes dedicated to the film, and marks the beginning of Pixar's need to permanently mess us up. Why It's Awesome: HELLO, THIS IS THE SADDEST SONG EVER WRITTEN AND RECORDED. Sarah McLachlan took a break to make us all sad about dogs, to make us sad about toys. Why did no one stop it?! Why wasn't anyone like, "That seems like a lot for a children's movie, maybe we'll pull it back?! "Either way, turn them on if you feel like having a good scream and no other time. They were warned.

9. "Zero to Hero," Hercules

youtube

Disney Studio

Context Some: The whole premise of the song is in the title: Hercules goes from a zero to a hero. Flat in no time. Zero to the hero. Just. Like. The. Why it's awesome: Listen... the muses are by far the best part of Hercules (the existence of Meg is a close second). In addition, as you learn on this list, your girl loves a montage, and this is a PERFECT ONE. We don't need to see one scene after another, as this song finishes everything in three minutes.

8. "Out There," The Hunchback of Notre Dame

youtube

Disney Studio

A context: After swearing to the very fearsome Frollo that he will NOT go to the village for the "Feast of Fools"... Quasimodo thinks about going over a song (and ultimately does) that is related to absolutely every introvert. We love a rebel. Why It's Awesome: Hunchback has the best soundtrack of a Disney Renaissance-era movie (Insert Miranda Priestly, no, no... that was no question gif), and this leads my list of the most underrated hero songs in Disney canon. It's beautiful. 7. "Shiny," Moana

youtube

Disney Studio

Context Some: In an attempt to steal back Maui's beloved magic hook, water god Moana is forced to distract the new owner of the hook as essentially living bait.

Why It's Awesome: In my opinion, this is the most underrated villain song in recent memory. It's... Great? It is so catchy and full of exhibitions about Maui's past without being overly entangled with information. Also, like, whoever has the idea of "David Bowie... BUT AS GIANT CRAB! " deserves an increase and a high five. 11/10.

6. "Son of Man," Tarzan

youtube

Disney Studio

A contextual context: Tarzan, desperate to prove himself to his adoptive father, does everything to show that he belongs to their family as he grows up to be a man who has become human. It is the film "Simba, Timon and Pumbaa", which runs over the bridge during "Hakuna Matata". "

Why It's Awesome: Phil Collins made the ABSOLUTE MOST for no reason on this soundtrack, and I love it. If you don't think this song is going harder than it needs to be, IDK, what's going on with you. Is everything all right? Do you want to talk about it? Also, once again, we love a montage

5. "I've Got a Dream," Tangled

youtube

Disney Studio

Context Some: After a life of social disfigurement (though not by election or government mandate), Rapunzel is tricked into a rowdy tavern by Flynn: "My real name is Eugene and I'm a soft Boi" Ryder to scare her back to her tower. It burns spectacularly. Why it's awesome: I don't think I'm in the minority when I think Tangled as a film is aggressively underestimated as a film. It felt like a true return to form for Disney, even though it was one of its first princess movies without hand-drawn animation. This song is an EAR. Worm. And I really love the message. Like, absolutely everyone you meet, no matter how unlikely, has a dream and a weird hobby, and we should all be louder about it!

4. "We Are One," The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride

youtube

Disney Studio

Some Context: Simba and Nala got it up (I suppose after she made this face during "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" and had precocious baby Kiara. Kiara is not quite as hype about royalty as Simba was at her age, much to his dismay. He sings this very beautiful song with her about purpose and whatnot. Why It's Awesome: IDK why, but this song makes me cry??? Every time I hear it??? Maybe it's because Matthew Broderick serves pure singing? Maybe it's because it's about family? Maybe it's because I'm also a daughter who wants to make her parents proud without sacrificing themselves??? Who knows! Either way, it's a great antithesis to "I just can't wait to be king."" Don't send this post to my therapist, thank you.

3. "Welcome to the Forty Thieves," Aladdin and the King of Thieves

youtube

Disney Studio

A certain context: After a life in an orphanage, Aladdin finally chases his father – who is a certified D.I.L.F. – and discovers that he is the literal KING of thieves. He and his comrades sing this wild fun number to welcome Aladdin to their super-secret club.

Why it's awesome: This movie has a distinct place on my "This is a funny movie and I'm not going to apologize for having it." I've seen it a lot as a kid and it's a GOOD TIME. I also like to imagine these murderous thieves performing this whole song and dance number for every single person who participates, and they rehearse it regularly to keep themselves fresh. Gorgeous.

2. "Why Should I Worry," Oliver and Company

youtube

Disney Studio

A certain context: After helping the street-like puppy Dodger get some very tasty-looking hot dogs, Oliver gets a lesson in "Street Savoir-faire" when Dodger refuses to share their earnings. Also, fun fact, I would die for Oliver. It's the cutest little orange fluff I've ever seen in my life.

Why It's Awesome: This song. Has no business. Go so hard. As it is. But what else would you expect from a Billy Joel song, I think? Sing us a song, you're the hot dog puppy, sing us a song tonight...

1. "Stand Out," A Goofy Movie

youtube

Disney Studio

Context Some: Max, son of Goofy, is desperate to get his Crush Roxanne attention. He and his buds develop a plan to interrupt the headmaster's presentation on the last day of school by performing a tune from the popular fictional band Powerline. Why it's awesome: This whole movie is perfect and I'm not going to accept any other comments about it. We all already know that "Eye to Eye" from the illustrious powerline is ICONIC, but this number is just as large. In my humble opinion, this is the MOST underestimated musical sequence in all Disney canon. It's, as the children say, a bop. In addition, side note: YO STACYYY, TALK TO ME, TALK TO ME, TALK TO ME, BABY. this is my modest ranking — but what is YOU? What do YOU think is the most underrated animated Disney song of all time?
