I love that you started out just reacting to the show from a vocal coach perspective, but as each video passes, that Starkid is definitely worming their way into your heart. We all went through that "huh this is pretty fun" to "my heart hurts and I love them" pipeline. Come to the dark side, we have Starkid :)
Omg now I think it‘s even more important to watch Twisted because you get Jeff and Dylan singing in the same song 🤩 the amount of talent in this group of friend who out of fun created their own little independent company is incredible
@@singwithAshley YES please watch Twisted!! The song Happy Ending especially, it's very impressive musically, but the combined voices of Jafar (Dylan), Aladdin (Jeff) and Jasmine (Rachael Soglin) will knock you down. I would LOVE to hear your professional opinion on Rachael's voice, she definitely has one of the more unique voices in Starkid. That said, VHS Christmas Carols is super good, but I'd recommend the spotify album over the live show on youtube if you want to hear it all clearly.
@@TiaMat99 fwiw the one on TH-cam/Spotify is VHS Christmas Carol (no 's'), which is the Scrooge story only. VHS Christmas Carols (with the 's') is the version that includes a first act with the two stories Gift of the Magi and Little Match Girl, which hasn't had its TH-cam/album release yet (only the digital ticket which is no longer available for purchase). I'm hoping it'll get released end of this year, though...VHSCCs is SO GOOD and I need everyone to be able to watch it.
Oh you are going to LOVE Twisted. Really showcases Dylan's talent, both in acting and singing. And Jeff Blim plays Aladdin, so you are going to die of happiness lmao Also, I definitely recommend Firebringer. While the story tends to be hit or miss, it's got some of the best music Starkid has to offer, and really showcases the women of Starkid. You might recognize one of the songs from a meme that went around a few years ago (I have little sense of time, so I could be way off about when this happened) "I don't really wanna do the work today"
Oh wow! I actually DO know that meme! Super excited for more starkid reactions! I need to get moving huh? What am I gonna do when I’m out of starkid shows?
@@singwithAshley After Starkid you can move on to Tin Can Brothers. It's a very creative group made by three of the Starkid boys (Joey who you know and Brian and Corey who you don't know yet) and there are tons of Starkids in their works. "Spies Are Forever" is a MASTERPIECE!
Also, I felt this needed to be a separate comment, so that it can breathe on its own. I LOVE the emotional resolution in this song. He goes from trying to cram Wiggly into the Jane-sized hole in his and Tim's hearts, to realising that Tim doesn't want Wiggly, he wants a father who's there. It forces him to directly confront the 'ghost' of his wife (in reality, his own fear at failing as a parent in a world where he doesn't have help), and he realises that this isn't what she would want of him either. That it's okay to feel instead of repress, and to let Tim (who is, in a sense, an extension of Jane) in to feel with you. It resolves in the last line, 'and I won't fail again' (a contrast to 'I will fail' and 'I would fail' earlier in the song) and Tom understands that he and Tim don't need the Jane-proxy, they just need each other. This is Tom's first steps of real emotional growth, and I love it so much. Probably already obvious psych nerd rant over. Love this series!
@Ashley Kennedy I said this to another reactor who apologized for becoming super emotional while reacting to a song: Don't be afraid to show emotional vulnerability during a reaction, especially a reaction to music. Emotional Vulnerability is not a weakness. It's a strength. It shows that you're human. For me, half (or more) of the enjoyment I derive from watching reactions to music is to see how music affects different people and to share that moment with the reactor. Sure the music theory and singing technique breakdowns are fascinating, but let's be honest, we're all here to see you lose it at the appropriate moments and see you fangirl at other appropriate moments. It is only when you allow yourself to be emotionally vulnerable, especially on a platform like this, that you will realize that you are not alone. It never ceases to amaze me just how many people are, in fact, emotionally vulnerable and allow themselves to be as such on TH-cam when they would never allow themselves to be that in real life outside of the privacy of their "sanctuary." So allow yourself to be emotionally vulnerable during your reactions. It can only serve to enhance your already fantastic reactions. Besides, if this music didn't affect you in an emotional manner, I would start to think there was something wrong with you. To that end, thank you for giving "If I Fail You" it's rightful due. Quite a few fans didn't particularly care for this song. Personally, it's my favorite song of the whole musical. If I'm being honest with you, the majority of my top Starkid Songs are ones sung by Dylan. He's, hands down, the best Male Singer in all of Starkid. Not only is he unmatched in his technique, as you rightfully pointed out, but his emotional resonance is on a whole 'nother level. Dylan has a unique ability to resonate emotionally with a song and its lyrics and then perfectly convey those emotions through his performance of the song. If someone in Starkid is making you cry, 8 times out of 10 it's Dylan. The other two times it will be the man who has even greater emotional resonance than Dylan, but purely on an acting level, and that's Joey Richter. What Dylan can do with a song, Joey can do with every other aspect of the performance. And that's saying a lot considering both Dylan and Joey are top tier actors and singers. Although, they may have competition now with the introduction of Will Branner in "Nerdy Prudes Must Die" because holy crap is that guy GOOD. What Starkid makes isn't merely good musical theater. Starkid makes art. This is art. And I look forward to sharing your exploration of their art form. And always remember that when you start feeling emotionally vulnerable and you begin to question the validity of that, we're all right there being emotionally vulnerable with you. You are not alone.
I love this virtual hug! You are so incredibly sweet and. Your words have moved me! Thank you for being here and singing with me. You are so wonderful! 🥹
*Ashley hasn't even finished her first Starkid show*: Can you imagine a world where we don't have Starkid?! I feel you, girl! I found them just a couple of years ago because I live under a rock (Iran) so I'm always behind! So I watched a few of their works back then, but less than three months ago I was in a bad place so I sat down, watched every video on their channel, and then moved to watch every video on the Tin Can Brothers channel (I'm a Ravenclaw, I'm thorough haha) and now I'm OBSESSED! So yeah, it would be a sad world without Starkid. Btw, You're sleeping on my boy, Joey! I mean, I literally love (almost) all of them but Joey is just special, and his improvement is just *chef's kiss* I would LOVE to see your reaction to his cover of Confrontation from Jekyll and Hyde. It's just a short video of him singing that song. Mayyyybe you could squeeze it in somewhere in your schedule??? (If you do, just keep that in mind that it's from a show called "Shitty Broadway" and their whole point is to cover famous Broadway songs with a twist and kinda make them funny. So that's why it's like...that. Haha.)
Have you seen Shipwrecked comedy? Mostly Joey and Lauren, but other starkid alumni are in a lot of their comedy series. It's not musicals, but their shows are really good. If you haven't seen any I'd recommend Poe Party and Headless first.
Just a personal theory here, but of course he is talking about failing Tim and not wanting to fail him again, but I also think he is talking to Lex at the end. He may have felt like he failed her when he left after Jane, his wife, died. She said that his class was the only thing making her not feel like (excuse my French) a screw-up. So, when he gave up and left, she gave up too. Maybe that is why her life started going down the road it did. Thus, when he says, "I failed you once, but I won't fail again," maybe he is telling Lex he won't fail her and ruin her life. It may be a stretch, but that is what I think. He doesn't want to fail Tim, but he doesn't want to fail Lex either (or Hannah in a way, considering he was indirectly responsible for her capture earlier).
I love what you said about how special Starkid is. I've been a fan since the early days in 2009 and what strikes me is how accidental their popularity was, and how close we were to not getting this company. They posted the recordings of AVPM for the cast, to avoid making DVD versions of their college musical, and because those videos were public, they went viral and have been able to nurture that initial popularity into sustaining the company for 15 years and hopefully many more to come Love your videos, always excited to see more
I love that I caught Dylan in a recent interview. You can tell the interview was a starkid fan and was asking Dylan about starkid and how different the shows are from other professional gigs. Dylan was so nonchalant and stated that it really just feels like he’s hanging out with his best friends and not working. What a special unique environment that has blessed the hearts and souls of many 🥹 thank you for being here. Thank you for singing with me!
I'm so excited to see you do the rest of the Hatchetfield series! You can really see the growth of team Starkid throughout the series, so I'm interested to see your thoughts as someone who started in the middle of the trilogy. Each show's songs have something I think they're best at, and personally I believe that Black Friday's songs have the most heart. They tug on the heartstrings and make you really feel for the characters.
The drum part in the tag is a throwback to America's Great Again from TGWDLM, and of course the piano part is a loop of 'there are monsters and there are men' from the reprise. Jeff and Matt Dahan (the 'pit' leader and pianist) sprinkle in references to other parts of the Hatchetfield shows throughout.
Seeing you get so emotional when Tom sings about Tim makes me want to tell my mom how much I love her. Being a mom sounds hard, and it is. But I know that you are a great one. If you ever feel like you are failing, just know that you are an awesome mom even when it gets hard. Great video as always ❤🫂
Oh man, here come the tears!!! 😭 tell your mom right now! Parenthood is just us constantly thinking of ways to love and protect you 24/7. Every action in our lives are consumed with thoughts of our children. So hard yet all we are really working hard for is a “mom, I love you”. This means so much. Thanks for singing with me!
@@singwithAshleyThere is a really great song in Trail to Oregon called "When the World's at Stake" that's exactly about that and what it means to be a mother. I can't listen to it without bawling because it makes me so emotional (and I don't even have kids 😅)
Loved your emphasis on opening your mouth! Lol. My broadway/belt/pop voice teacher in college made us stare into mirrors while singing all the time to practice mouth shape.
GIRL, my entire college voice lessons were me staring into a mirror singing to myself! … actually… now that I think about it… I STILL place myself in front of a mirror 🪞 when learning a new song! 🤣 thanks for being here and singing with me!
I loved this reaction; I love how raw and real your reactions are, alongside the genuinely useful vocal coaching advice! (I know I've been able to put to use your advice on shifting registers since seeing your Monsters and Men Reprise video.) Also, I love your editing, and the way you've started having the audio going on softly behind your narration; it's really effective!
Thank you so much for the feedback and thank you so much for being here and singing with me! It was incredibly hard to leave the vulnerable bits in, but that’s part of the gig isn’t it? You’re wonderful, thank you 🙏
I don't know if someone else has told you this but you said that you've actually watched AVPM before and Dylan actually played Dumbledore in that!! He was great in that but obviously you can see how much his voice has grown in the ten years since then.
Did you notice that characters are lit up in green to indicate they’re under wiggly’s spell? You can see it in the first scene with the president, during Do You Want To Play, etc
Hi again 😊 you are so right about Starkid, they are a special bunch. And It's wonderful that they are still doing their thing after all this time, and only get better and better! As others are saying: check out Twisted for a glorious Dylan vocal showcase. I hope you'll complete the Hatchetfield trilogy too -- they are really meant to be taken as a trio. The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals comes first (then Black Friday, then Nerdy Prudes Must Die). But no pressure, or anything. 😅
I mean Lex doesn't speak for me, I absolutely want a tickle me Wiggly. I'm praying that they'll restock one day... And yes, a world without starkid would be really sad and tragic. All the thing they do are so special, and I love how much they value their audience as well, not many people put their shows on youtube for free. As someone living in Europe, this is the only way I get to see their stuff so I really appreciate it. Also I cannot watch this scene without thinking about nightmare time where Lex life is also so IUGDIOUGS DIOUH (no spoilers from me :P) Lex is such a great character I love her.
I am sure u will enjoy the guy who didnt like musicals but i CANT WAIT for you to get to nersy prudes. The music in it is some of the most interesting stuff starkid has done.
So you're doing the guy who didn't like musicals after you finish black friday right? Right?!?! And then nerdy prudes must die. And since you're a big Dylan and Jeff fan, Twisted would be up your alley for sure.
@singwithAshley well you've gotta at least finish the hatchetfield trilogy to get the full picture of this weird towns existences 🤣 trust me, you're gonna love them
Ahhh new video! I had to click on it. I love your review on Black Friday. You take so much time for that, that’s great! And I love your video editing. Greetings from Germany 🎉
I know you are gonna react to "the guy who didn't like musicals" first but I wonder how you are gonna disect "Nerdy Prudes Must Die" since for me it's the best of the 3 in all ways
@@singwithAshley I'm like 0% trained and even tho I love singing I'm crap at karaoke (I lose sense of timing or what words come next besides chorus) even so I feel I learn a little watching you and it's fine even if I can't use it in practice, if one got better at singing just by doing it, i should be a pro
Hi! I’m almost there! I’m reacting to all the Black Friday songs in order! Check out the series in the Black Friday series and stay tuned! Sing with you soon!
We're finally at my favorite song \o/ So happy we're finally here and you're getting so into it :) (so glad I didn't spoil it back during 'What Tim Wants')
It really annoys me that I can sing high notes by Ariana Grande (some of them), but not the high notes in this song. That's something I really need to learn. It's deeper than Ariana's high notes, but still harder to sing
Your vocal register may sit differently on the piano than Dylan’s. In which case, I’d suggest playing around with the piano 🎹 or a free piano app and seeing how your voice feels with each note. You may need a different voice register to hit the note (chest, mix, belt, head voice)
Twisted really features Dylan's voice beautifully. Also, VHS Christmas Carol. I adore Dylan's voice and often go back to those shows.
Twisted gives you plenty of both Dylan and Jeff
I love that you started out just reacting to the show from a vocal coach perspective, but as each video passes, that Starkid is definitely worming their way into your heart.

I love all the songs from Black Friday but I am especially excited for the next song in the musical for you to react to cause it’s my favourite
I’ll buckle up in preparation then! Thanks for signing with me!
I know you are gonna react to "the guy who didn't like musicals" first but I wonder how you are gonna disect "Nerdy Prudes Must Die" since for me it's the best of the 3 in all ways
I’m pretty excited to get through them both! Can’t wait!! So excited you’re here singing with me!
@@singwithAshley I'm like 0% trained and even tho I love singing I'm crap at karaoke (I lose sense of timing or what words come next besides chorus) even so I feel I learn a little watching you and it's fine even if I can't use it in practice, if one got better at singing just by doing it, i should be a pro
Loved the reaction! If you are planning on/ haven't reacted to it yet could you do the final song in Black Friday? "What if tomorrow comes"
Hi! I’m almost there! I’m reacting to all the Black Friday songs in order! Check out the series in the Black Friday series and stay tuned! Sing with you soon!
AAA!! I'm looking forward to it!!
We're finally at my favorite song \o/
So happy we're finally here and you're getting so into it :) (so glad I didn't spoil it back during 'What Tim Wants')
Me TOOOO! So happy you’re here singing with me!
You should react to the Hamilton musical songs, theres a lot but that would be so cool
It's hard to react to something Ive heard a ton and worked on. but happy to share my thoughts if we want to see that! thanks for singing with me!
More more more more more more more more 😁😁😁😁😁😁
Aye aye 🫡
It really annoys me that I can sing high notes by Ariana Grande (some of them), but not the high notes in this song. That's something I really need to learn. It's deeper than Ariana's high notes, but still harder to sing
Your vocal register may sit differently on the piano than Dylan’s. In which case, I’d suggest playing around with the piano 🎹 or a free piano app and seeing how your voice feels with each note. You may need a different voice register to hit the note (chest, mix, belt, head voice)
@@singwithAshley Definitely. Though technically, I CAN hit the notes but it sounds bad anyway😅. Been a while since I sang it though.....
This song is one of the worst things that ever happened to me
in the best of ways? lol
@@singwithAshley Oh absolutely, Dylan just has that effect on me fr
@@NikaPines I’m with you!
