Based on singing in Hamilton. Not taking any questions please respect. 1. Goldsberry 2. Soo 3. Odom 4. Jasmine Jones 5. Groff 6. Jackson 7. Each individual in the ensemble .... Ramos Diggs Oak .. .. LMM
In honor of Owsley - I'd probably have to group them, honestly. Goldsberry Jackson Odom Soo Jones Groff
Non-Stop is really underrated. The last minute of that song is fucking incredible and its even better on stage.
Felt like listening to this again. I wish they kept the “I see how you look at my sister” line in the final version.
1) Goldsberry in “Satisfied” 2) Odom in “Wait for it” 3) Soo in “Burn” Willing to listen to arguments.
Are there any good recordings of “It’s Quiet Uptown” without LMM? Goldsberry and Soo crush it but LMM is so cringy.
LMM the composer is GOAT tier: Almost always have to fire up Moana after Hamilton to keep those vibes going. LMM the performer is Community College tier. Facts are facts.
Lin’s second greatest contribution to the the show, after being its creator, is actually the delivery of the not-so-much-rap/singing-more-spoken-word portions of Yhe World Was Wide Enough and One Last Time. His delivery of part of Washington’s speech and the monologue after the final bullet is fired are both really well done.
So this was posted last night and all I'll say is I want to hear Leslie sing the entire song in this tone/note. It's more singing than acting...slightly different and I'd love to hear the whole thing this way.
That's a good idea. I'm watching tv and flipping channels to try and catch as many political ads as I can to make my mind up on who to vote for. Pro tip: only really listen to the ads that are approved by a politician.
Just heard Usher's version from the Mixtape for the first time today. It's definitely not as good but I like the pacing on it for something different.
The most fair and balanced ads are not endorsed by candidates, but committees for American freedom and values
Started this an hour ago. Gonna carry me until 8:40 to distract myself so I don’t pay attention to things too early
I saw a mention of Moana on the last page to keep the LMM vibes going. Has anyone else listened to "In The Heights"? Jackson is also in that musical, and I think it's a pretty underrated show.
We won! We won! We won! We won! The world turned upsiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide down rigghtsiiiiiiiiiiiiiide up!
:HotTakeShield: I like Diggs more as LaFayette than Jefferson. Maybe because LaFayette>>>>Jefferson in history, but gat damn at him spitting in that French accent.
He just shines in every scene he’s in and is in a lot more scenes in the 2nd half. But gat dam he fucks as LaFayette.
lol. Pretty sure “posters” in this here thread don’t have Soo in their top 5. Legit question. Is it possible to go from Burn->Blow Us All Away->It’s Quiet Uptown without your room becoming extremely dusty?
i cry almost every song she sings. I’ll defend to the death that her character arc and performance is the best of the entire cast
My 8 year old was talking to his african American friend about the election and said Barack Obama or Abraham Lincoln should be the president. His friend said or George Washington to which my son replied “he had at least 10 slaves, you shouldn’t get to be president if you owned slaves.” From the mouths of babes
We just had this talk the other day. My 6 year old was loving Greek mythology a few months back. We got a couple books and we’re going through them and they talked about slavery so I got to have the fun conversation of explaining slavery to someone for the first time. All the zoom lessons with his teacher this week have been about voting/politics. Thursday they talked about voting rights/suffrage/Jim Crow/Slavery/etc. He was pretty devastated to learn that America had slaves. For Halloween this year he debated between Miles Morales and George Washington because they’re his favorite heroes. I didn’t have the heart to tell him.
And ships And so the balance shifts We rendezvous with Rochambeau Consolidate their gifts We can end this war at Yorktown, cut them off at sea, but For this to succeed, there is someone else we need I know (Hamilton!) Sir, he knows what to do in the trench Ingenuitive and fluent in French I mean (Hamilton!) Sir, you're going to have to use him eventually What's he going to do on the bench I mean (Hamilton!) No one has more resilience Or matches my practical, tactical brilliance (Hamilton!) You want to fight for your land back? (Hamilton!) I need my right hand man back (Hamilton!)
The battle of Yorktown, 1781 Monsieur Hamilton Monsieur Lafayette In command where you belong How you say, no sweat Finally on the field, we've had quite a run Immigrants, we get the job done
