Honestly, when Dylan Saunders was sweating in that Ja’far costume I related on a spiritual level. As someone who likes to participate in shows but can only do it in (unfortunately) hot summers, I too, sweat like I am a cloud that’s raining.
Yep wearing anything remotely fluffy with stage lights on you is like being stuck in hell and it's worse if said fluffiness disintegrates into the air around you and you're drenched in your own sweat whilst choking on fluff
Burning Fire I had to wear a dress once, it was the only one that would fit my body and the character. It looked like a sack and with my hair being quite wavy at the time, I looked like the human version of Lady from Lady and The Tramp. What didn’t help was that the boy playing the main role looked like the Tramp from Lady and the Tramp. So, not only was I sweating up a storm but I also looked like a human-dog with their human-dog partner. Not a good show day. 0/10 would not do it again
My fav song by each of YOUR top 10 starkids: Joey: Made In America Corey: Our Doors Are Open Joe: No One Remembers Achmed Rachael: When My World's At Stake Jeff: Orphaned At 33 (it's so damn underrated.. His vocals are awesome in that song.. I haven't seen anyone appreciating it) Denise: The Way I Do Jaime: Lost Without You Lauren: Wiggle (soundtrack) Dylan: If I Believed, If I Fail You (I cannot choose one.. He's so damn good) Meredith: Jemilla's Lament
I agree wholeheartedly. The romance in Twisted took me by surprise by how well they sold it, but the proposal scene in Firebringer also awoke something so deep inside of me it's hard to explain. It kinda reminded me of the pure joy I felt during the scene in Life Is Strange: Before the Storm when Rachel improvises as a way to ask Chloe out mid-play. Though Chloe and Rachel weren't exactly the healthiest couple..I could relate so hard to the self-doubt and insecurity of internalised homo/biphobia and feeling like a girl would never like me back. Both moments felt so refreshing and heartwarming. Just seeing a reciprocated wlw relationship overcoming fear ahhh Starkid continues to give me comfort, confidence and a home
It's such a good song on all levels? The lyrics are amazing, then the girls coming in, my boy Superman joining in, all the ensemble??? The HMB soundtrack is a masterpiece.
i don’t think I’ve ever heard denise’s proper singing voice isolated before and god. she sounds so good it sucks that she was sick for the filmed recording of starship
14:40 honestly I think it can feel more sensual because of how intimate the lyrics are. Like they're literally telling each other that they want ALL of who they both are. They want to see, feel and experience everything the other person has to offer and I think the fact that that can be read as both somewhat sexual and just plain romantic at the same time shows how strong Jafar and Sherrezade is. In just a few lines they encapsulate all that loving another person entails and I just!!! AAAHh I'm so so SO normal about them flwaeyfgvl
OH SHIT I never realised the foreshadowing in Everything and More!! Kaley McMahon is such a genius. Also I really like Denise's singing in both versions of the Way I Do, she really performed it in the live one even though she was sick.
@@graceschastity yeah just look it up! It's a script reading so they aren't actually on a stage and there isn't any musical numbers but I loved it! I don't know how I found it though lol
Ok this is super super nitpicky but I think it's worth pointing out: during "Everything and More" you mentioned that AJ is a lyrical genius (which is 100% true and we're blessed to have him), but the lyrics for all of Twisted were actually written by Kaley McMahon (while AJ wrote the music). I only mention this because she really did an amazing job (and is an amazing person overall) and she deserves so, so much more attention and respect!!! There are literally videos breaking down her lyrical wit and how she managed to capture Sondheim's beliefs so perfectly and her work deserves to be shouted from every mountaintop for millennia :)))
My emotions during the last 7 minutes of this video are unwarranted. You really did just make the highlights reel we all deserve wow I love Dylan and Meredith so much so much raw talent
thank you so much for putting you tied up my heart as the best jeff song. it’s not my favourite but i love it so much and everyone else seem to not like it. it’s such a good song omg

Nimbus Hointon Same though. I was once in an outdoor production of Cats in June. It was pure torture
Yep wearing anything remotely fluffy with stage lights on you is like being stuck in hell and it's worse if said fluffiness disintegrates into the air around you and you're drenched in your own sweat whilst choking on fluff
Burning Fire reading this gave me flashbacks and caused my breathing to go out of sync lol
@@laratheamazing1 I know right! It's the worst feeling that exists

I would like to submit Get Back Up as another great Lauren song
You're so right it's one of my favorite!
Holy shit someone finally agrees that Pays to be an Animal is one of the greatest Starkid songs. I can die in peace now.
Every time I watch TTO (and it's by far the show I watch the most) I listen to it like 5 times before going on with the show
Someone direct me to the lyrics?
My fav song by each of YOUR top 10 starkids:
Joey: Made In America
Corey: Our Doors Are Open
Joe: No One Remembers Achmed
Rachael: When My World's At Stake
Jeff: Orphaned At 33 (it's so damn underrated.. His vocals are awesome in that song.. I haven't seen anyone appreciating it)
Denise: The Way I Do
Jaime: Lost Without You
Lauren: Wiggle (soundtrack)
Dylan: If I Believed, If I Fail You (I cannot choose one.. He's so damn good)
Meredith: Jemilla's Lament
I might have to do another video updated with Black Friday because my opinion has absolutely changed since I made this!
Abhi Prabakar orphaned at 33 is so underrated. and tied up my heart. most people rank it last but i love it
@@mollywhiteman8956 SAME tied up my heart is the best manipulation song ever. (even take off your clothes is 2nd to it)
Abhi Prabakar you’re right
It's annoying that Rachel's other songs are never really appreciated at all.
"don't you twust me" worked so well that in the next iteration they really leaned into it for Wiggly
Kaley McMahon actually wrote the lyrics in Twisted, AJ wrote the music but I love them both and yes the lyrics are great
YES thank you for the correction I learned that long after I made this.

GMB said dark, sad, lonely, Knight rights and I'm living for it

@@GoodMorningButch Yesssss, that song never gets enough love but it's like in my top 3 Starkid songs. Also Chris Allen is amazing.
@@GoodMorningButch man all the vocal layers and harmonies hmb has the best harmonies hands down
Anytime someone says Corey is the weakest cast member I show them Pays To Be An Animal, he's so good and deserves bigger parts
i don’t think I’ve ever heard denise’s proper singing voice isolated before and god. she sounds so good it sucks that she was sick for the filmed recording of starship
I just love how confused Mega Girl looks during "the way I do" she's like "what is this, feelings???" xd

TWO WHOLE DUDES idk why that was so funny to me.
OH SHIT I never realised the foreshadowing in Everything and More!! Kaley McMahon is such a genius.
Also I really like Denise's singing in both versions of the Way I Do, she really performed it in the live one even though she was sick.
i went from laughing at “twisted being the dylan show” and “SOBBING EXTERNALLY” and i’ve got to admit that is literally my life
Thank you! "Lost Without You" is my favorite Jamie song, and probably my favorite Starkid song. So... GOOD!!!!!!
I never tire of it, it's just such a cool song!
When you compared Zazzy to a squirrel, I litterally said, " but she cant compete with squirrels"
I agree with almost all of it but EVERYONE FORGETS BIG TS TEMPTATION FOR COREY
oh trust me I never forget it, I just happen to like Pays to be an Animal more haha
Yes! It's such a great song and Corey sounds bloody awesome.
you just made me cry listening to the way i do???? a song that i’ve known since i was in middle school????????
the sad thing about ron marrying hermione is that in a very potter christmas they get divorced (but at least they re-marry ;) )
Idiot With a Glock wAIT THERES A VERY POTTER CHRISTMAS????
@@graceschastity yeah just look it up! It's a script reading so they aren't actually on a stage and there isn't any musical numbers but I loved it! I don't know how I found it though lol

I hope Draco gets the rocket back
RIP the video got taken down :(

I learned that AFTER making this video, though thank you for putting credit where credit is due!!! She did SUCH a good job!
The Way I Do is so goood
its my favorite starkid song. it makes me want to fall in love with someone.
I cannot sing along to The Way I Do without smiling and it's a serious issue
It’s so soft and good 😭
I'm here for the You Tied Up My Heart appreciation.
it's SUCH A GOOD SONG
YES I LOVE “IF I BELIEVED” SO MUCH! Probably my number one Starkid song xD
me, after reading your comment at 9:04: ah, i person of culture, i see
14:12 "and found the missing part of him he didn't know he missed" me when I discovered my sexuality
you tied up my heart was in my top 3 tgwdlm songs forever and everyone always did it so dirty in the rankings it hurt my soul
It's absolutely in my top 3 too! It's SUCH good song!
okay not to call you out or anything, but this is just 17 minutes of you having crushes on women
... that's a possibility...
This calls me out as well.
If I Believed might just be my favourite Starkid performance ever, Dylan Saunders is such a powerful performer
My emotions during the last 7 minutes of this video are unwarranted. You really did just make the highlights reel we all deserve wow I love Dylan and Meredith so much so much raw talent
meredith stans are RIGHT
yes!!! appreciation for you tied up my heart !!!!
It's SUCH a good song!!! Both Jeff Blim's HEAVENLY singing and Jaimes acting throughout! It's just perfect
I really appreciate your videos and how in depth your comments are !!
Oh that's so kind of you to say, I'm always scared that my comments are obnoxious af so this is great to hear!
thank you so much for putting you tied up my heart as the best jeff song. it’s not my favourite but i love it so much and everyone else seem to not like it. it’s such a good song omg
catch me calling my girlfriend "the one anomaly"
I love everything and more! It’s a hilarious song and really sets up her character well!
16:30 I relate to this on an astral level. I can't even function anymore...
Guys! Can someone help me start a petition to get Dylan on Broadway please?
Corey has a new best song in opinion in doors are open
I agree!!! It's also become my favorite song of his.
9:38 so what you're saying is .... Chorn...... Means a lot of things to a lot of people..... But chorn means yes?????
The great debate is FINALLY over!
5:14 I spAT OUT MY COFFEE
He’s got the moves.
I don’t agree with your entire list, but I love your commentary so much!!!! I have subscribed
Finally, a list that appreciates the fact that Rachel has more than one song
In all fairness, When The World's At Stake is a masterpiece.
These are some really good picks. Top spots are all romance songs too haha
I do love me a good love ballad :(
I love your commentary.
8:17 does this remind anyone else of that one like me from just a taste where grunt says "from WHERE I AM, To where I'll be"
No? I'm just weird? Ok
so if that's your favourite line... does that make Starship you favourite musical?!?! BECAUSE IT'S MY FAVE TOO!
Haha it's actually not but damn is it a great fucking musical!
Quack
9:41 re fucking tweet
ppl say their relationship was forced and it wasn’t, it just took a while to develop into a romantic one
I am aware that this came out before Black Friday but I just wanted to say that for Corey my song would be our doors are open
It absolutely would be if this had come out after BF! For sure his best song.
all your comments just make me so gay and appreciate women sm
9:02 HELL YEAH FUCKIN RIGHT
i wanna know if any of your opinions changed after black friday
Yeah many of my opinions have changed both between this video and Black Friday, and after Black Friday too.
Wow odd pick for Jeff
I would've put him over Denise but to each their own
My top favorites has definitely changed a lot since I made these videos, so I don't disagree with you on this nowadays :)
LOST WITH OUT YOU IS CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED AND I CAN"T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SoTotallyNotCrazy you are right and you should say it
