Forgot to crosspost ๐ฌ
I was fooling around with one of the new @thebandcamino songs (Afraid of The Dark) earlier. Iโm still learning it, as evidence by the lyric flub ๐ but maybe Iโll end up recording the whole thing #thedark#afraidofthedark#thebandcamino
If an immigrant can move here, speak no English, have no connections, no family.. and still is able to โsteal your jobโ then maybe youโre an unqualified silly little idiot
posting Idina's No Good Deed regularly just to remind ppl she ate this live and she had no other performance to base it on but herself! the emotional crash out is real like that's truly elphaba going wicked witch
Wicked is also just so deeply engrained in me as a theater kid who was 9 when it came out. I always related to Elphaba (except I was fat, not green). There are so many more important themes in it than just โyay girls who look different can be friends!โ
I did like that they closed the loop of the wizard realizing that Elphaba was his daughter and then transitioned that into the balloon. Also, visually stunning. Idk it felt subpar to the stage production.
No one asked but here are my major gripes with the Wicked movies:
1. Leaves out that the wizard is a sexual predator
2. Gives several Elphaba vocal lines to Glinda for no reason (takes her Fiyero scream away!!)
3. Glinda apologist propaganda
4. Horrible new songs for no reason.
5. Cuts up Defying Gravity, losing the momentum of the song and taking me completely out of it.
6. Absolutely no chemistry between Elphaba and Fiyero. And Jonathan Bailey can have chemistry with an old boot. Itโs not his fault.
7. The vocals will just never be as good as the og
We need to talk about how AI, when used as a tool, enables artists. There are so many people who make art but canโt afford exorbitant programs, editing software, instruments, supplies, etc. like anything, moderation and transparency is key.
The Military pilots who refused to aid a genocide are true American patriots. The people who whine over late night talk shows and get so butthurt that they bitch until they literally get canceled are not.
After the shooting at my high school you literally accused my friends and myself of being paid government crisis actors that resulted in us getting thousands of death threats. Go fuck yourself.
If I was Taylor Swift I would say I booked a private gig in Saudi Arabia and then โdeviateโ from my flight path and drop as much food and supplies over Gaza as possible.
