After you watch all of Hamilton, Hamilton in 7 minutes has amazing vocals and is one of the prettiest things I’ve ever heard
poggers
Well in real life George the third was not evil he was not on the wrong side not to say that the americans were wrong just that none of them were on a wrong side and he was portrayed very innacuratly in hamilton.
Please listen to Hayd, please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please
@@paleobolt8069 There was no "right" side of the war, wars are rarely ever just right vs wrong.
Hamilton fans who’ve already watched the show like 10x watching the distorted video: “Yeah looks about right.”
hahaha I love a good slime tutorial
Me who has Disney+ but can still recognize every pixel as a certain person/thing
literally no difference between this and the 4k version what are you talking about
I don’t notice the pictures I’m singing too hard 😂
i love me a good quality slime tutorial
I know about the copyright issues, it's a shame. But it is hilarious whenever he compliments "their voices are so good" "those harmonies" and we all just hear alvin and the chipmunks
Bro fr lmao
Lol
Fr lol 😂
the pitched audio, makes it seem kids are performing it. love it
LOL didnt even think of it like that - didnt u know hamilton is a school play?
Or chipmunks 🐿
Singing I mean....not doing the play although it THAT WOULD BE GOOD
@@MathewMcKenna omg that would be totally awesome!
@@MathewMcKenna seeing Lin reacting to kids singing Hamilton especially My shot is amazing 👏
The fun thing about the king's performance is that he was making eye contact with random members of the audience the whole time, as if he were speaking directly to them; really makes lines like "I will kill your friends and family" hit different X)
Plus you probably felt unnerved during the song because he didn't blink once throughout the entire song. He was trying to portray the fact he was a mad King or would eventually go mad.
imagine sitting in the front with all the water
Watching those “slime tutorials” and he just started into the camera was unnerving
I saw it live and he locked eyes with me, I swear he was staring straight into my soul
@@pogchimp2810 How did it feel lmao?
Ooh yeah, "Satisfied" hits everybody like a freight train of talent and heartbreak the first time you hear it. Incredible song, and one of the most flawless musical theater performances of all time. :)
I mean, you're apologizing for the high pitch as if I didn't have every song of this musical memorized and playing in my head 24/7
For real
@@BritishMotherfuckerlove your user
The reason it sounds different than the studio recordings is because this was a life recording from 2016, musicals live always sounds different (and better in my opinion) when their live
Agreed
Beans
agreed i love live vocals so muxh more than the recorded ones, it just has a different vibe to it
Satisfied's choreography is helpless backwards and then forwards. Its to show the flashback angelica is experiencing but also shows how she takes the letters from elisa, like she wanted to do and take hamilton for herself. It then goes to the same choreography from the other songs until it goes back to helpless. It shows so much heartbreak tbch and I love it so much.
There is so much thought in the choreo, movement and the use of the turning stage..
And I could gush for hours about the musical motifs of the characters and how they fit in the songs
yes! Satisfied was what introduced me to hamilton and what made me appreciate the show so much
and in right hand man the back up dancers shoot towards hamilton
Aaron Burr is actually a pretty good person to study about in American History. He always stood away from things that would even cause the smallest issue, while Hamilton ran after those things as if his legacy would depend on it. Aaron Burr constantly stayed out of a lot of what the constitution was building on and a lot of people don’t know that he is one of our founding fathers because he didn’t really do a lot of the big things (compared to the others, I mean.) Hamilton on the other hand did things that would get his name out there so he wouldn’t just be a ‘bastard, orphan, son of a whore’ in America. The reason he wrote so much was because he wanted his name to be in history, knowing the only way we can figure out he existed is through artifacts of writing. Hamilton did drag his wife and kids around a lot (which, yes, they had 7 kids by the time he died so kids..Mhm) but he sent them to their summer home quite often. In the second act, you find out why. Act two of Hamilton is when you get into the more political thing of American History and how Hamilton (and others around him) got their legacy. Be aware that the timeline is a little different than what actually happened and I can talk about that for ages. I studied American History for so long because of this musical and my knowledge about it will always be useful. I love Hamilton because it gives you a modern insight of what it was like back then. Every aspect of this musical can make you understand why it took Lin Manuel nearly 6 years to write it. It’s truly beautiful and one of the best works of modern musicals today :)
i almost said "don't spoil it!!" when you talked ab his death and then i remembered he's a historical figure lmaoo
The irony of Burr carefully protecting his character by staying away from hard issues…Dude was so cautious most his life but his one reckless act is what put him in history books.
@@jumpinthecadillac9507 don’t worry guys he watched the whole thing in one sitting, just releasing them seperately
@@skeeyee1643 oh yeah there's that too. but mostly the fact that hamilton lived a few years ago and most people know he's dead lol
I wrote an essay about him and Ham for 9th grade History lmao. He’s very interesting.
Man, I love chipmunk Hamilton 😂. But totally agreed we stan Renee (Angelica). Satisfied has and still is probably my favorite Hamilton song
Chipmunk Hamilton 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm screaming. I oddly have zero problem with it. I've seen this so many times it makes no difference
Also January pateron......a week away
All I can think of when I read that name is just
“oh you don’t know Renee?”
-Anus
Reminds me more of South Park's Eric Cartman
The details in this musical are amazing, for instance: Lafayette starts in the musical stuttering and having trouble with the English language, and towards the end in guns and ships he is the fastest rapper. I just love that they added that little detail
I think thats cuz he was drunk
@@lila7612 no, lin addressed this in his interview with leigh sales. lin wanted to make some character development simply through language to add further complexity to the show.
The only cast member that did not have a flub in performance was Renee. The entire cast talks about how incredibly PERFECT she was. Especially in Satisfied. She didn't miss anything in all of her run as Angelica. Renee is inhuman in her perfection.
The studio recording is exactly that; recorded in a studio. They could redo every part until it was perfect, and no one had to dance while singing. The movie is recordings of 3 live performances, so there are slight inconsistencies.
Yes
I literally can't stop laughing I love hearing hamilton: the preteen version
Truuuue, I thought we were watching Hamilton, not High School Musical 😂🤣
Part of what makes Hamilton so wonderful is the attention to detail. There are layers upon layers upon layers of historical and musical references.
Not sure if anyone else mentioned this in the comments, but Lin uses different genres (and decades) of music to represent the personalities and political beliefs of different characters.
For example, Hamilton and his friends are young and progressive, so their songs are mostly rap/hip hop. (And each has their own flow, paying homage to different 90s artists.)
Because Burr is a little outside of the group, he's more R&B. (Wait for it is meant to sound like it could be an Usher song, and Usher actually covers it on The MixTape.)
The Schuyler sisters are meant to sound like Destiny's Child.
Since he's older (and the General and 1st Pres), Washington's songs are a mix of speaking/rapping, R&B, and Gospel.
King George's song is supposed to sound like "British Invasion" Pop from the 60s. (e.g. Beatles)
Since the political views of the Loyalist reading the proclamation (Samuel Seabury) are conservative and "out dated," his song sounds classical - complete with harpsichord!
Lin is so fucking cool jeez😭
I heard somebody point out also that since Jefferson wasn't there for about a decade, when he comes back with "What did I miss" he has an older style (kinda like blues?), like he missed a chunk of music evolution.
@@florette95 Yes! He's given sort of a jazzy number because he's "behind in the times."
14:54 "I thought he was gonna die but he didn't"
**cries knowing the future**
OH THE FORESHADOWING-
The pitch shifting makes this sound like hamilton sung by the worlds most talented children
Your love for Renee Elise Goldsberry is so valid, lol. She's phenomenal.
"oh he didn't die, He lives"
🎶Just you wait just you wait 🎶
According to one of the cast members (I don't remember who specifically) the actress who plays Angelica didn't flub a line in Satisfied(and i think all of her other songs) once in the whole time they performed to show she always got the notes and words right
She also learned it the night before her audition
If you are wondering why Hamilton didn't appreciate Washington calling him "son". It is because his father left him when he was very young. So having another man call him "son" is kindof triggering for him.
I think it's more that Hamilton feels like he's being coddled. He's roughly 20 at the time that this song would be taking place, so it's meant to feel like a "son" who thinks his "father" still sees him as a boy and not a man.
And Washington, who never had children of his own (probably due to complications from small pox), really _did_ see Hamilton (and Lafayette) as the sons he couldn't have.
personal theory, i also feel like it could be foreshadowing for the following song (when eliza tells him shes pregnant!!) and hes going to HAVE a son soon :)
@@jujunotfoundthat’s what I thought
Random thoughts:
-IDK if you've seen Frozen, but Jonathan Groff (King George) is the voice of Kristoff in the movie Frozen.
-Part of the reason for the specificly colored costumes is the colorblind casting. Any company in the world can cast any main character as any ethnicity, and you'll be able to find them on stage thanks to their costume design.
-The original version of the Schyler Sister's song didn't have so many harmonies and runs; Lin added the badass vocals when he heard what the actresses could do
*"Being a fan of Leslie Odom Jr. and Renée Elise Goldsberry for 22 minutes and 34 seconds"
there! fixed the title for you Mathew :)
"oh he didn't die, i thought he would die"
*dies twice*
The incredibly talented woman that played Angelica is named Renee Elise Goldsberry, and she actually won a tony for her role in this show, as well as Leslie Odom Jr. who plays Burr
In fact, they only Tony Awards it *didn't* win in the fourteen categories for musicals were Best Lead Actress, Best Set Design (which is was nominated for despite having a minimalist design), and Best Revival (for which it isn't eligible but will surely win in about fifty years). They had three nominations for supporting/featured actor including Jonathan Groff (George III) who has about five minutes of stage time.
"how are these guys not rediculously out of breath already" 10 mins into a 2hr40 musical lol?! They are all OUTSTANDING!! Such incredible performers!
Sad Fact: When Burr says “Those who run their mouths off wind up dead” Johns Laurens is the first to talk (sing) and he is also first to die of the group.
I honestly wish John Laurens had been the pov character since he actually stood for freeing the slaves unlike Hamilton who only did it in words
How could you skip “Work Work Angelica, Elizaaaaaaaaaaaa and PeGgY” 😂
If you're listening to Hamilton songs, you HAVE TO listen to Congratulations. It was a deleted song sung by Angelica (the person who sang Satisfied) and I LOVE IT
AND FIRST BURN
Leslie Odom Jr. the guy that plays Aaron Burr is the reason I was so obsessed with Hamilton and Renee Elise Goldsberry AMAZING
seeing him smile through the happiness at the start hurts so bad
“I thought he was gonna die, but he didn’t!”
Me: *laughs* Oh you don’t know what is to come do you..
Renee Elise Goldsberry is so amazingly talented. I'm happy her performance in this play as Angelica has gotten her the recognition she deserves.
As a law student that had to read some of those essays, I laugh when Burr says “no one will read them”.
"This guy cannot miss." Well... i mean you're right about that.
😉
YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO, YET YOU DID
I choked 🤣
STOP. 💀
Once you’re done you should definitely listen to some of the cut songs/workshop versions. They’re some of my favorites!
Congrats - amazing song by angelica, before burn
Let it go- shows Eliza’s impact on Hamilton, plus some eliza x Washington singing which is amazing.
Pair that song with the workshop version of Schuyler defeated (SD then let it go)
And you see just how angry Hamilton was
Workshop ver. Adams Administration - yep. Salty Hamilton.
Worship ver. hurricane - some real good lines in that one. Not much is different but man
Dear Theodosia reprise - sad burr
That other version of your obedient servant. Man. That one hits different
These are not in order
also 10 things, one thing which is like if satisfied was the world is wide enough
Congrats have gotten to be my fav
Satisfied and Wait For It are my two favourite songs from the whole musical, and your reactions sum it up perfectly. Also: "This guy cannot miss"? Haha, what a fitting comment.
Pretty sure they started with "low key" songs for the opening so that people in the audience who aren't used to rap/hip hop can get used to following the songs before they get to My Shot.
you should watch some starkid musicals, or react to some of their songs theyre really really good
I would love to see him react to these. They are all hilarious and have great songs
now I want him to react to the guy that didnt like musicals
Yes i love watchung peoole teact to starkid
@@benjaminkane9509 vouch!! such a good show!!
Omg yesyesyes! Especially cause he wouldn't have to do anything to avoid copyright strikes since they're all on youtube anyways :D it would be so cool if he reacted to Twisted or Tgwdlm
“Satisfied” is my favourite song in the whole musical, closely followed by “Dear Theodosia”. Just wait for “It’s quiet uptown”. It make me cry every time!
There's SO much going on in this Musical and it's amazing, from the vocals and instrumentals to the choreography. Satisfied is one of the coolest scenes purely due to the fact that it "rewinds" and replays and pauses the scenes from Helpless as she sings it. I also adore the king, who's portraying King George the Third, who is suspected to have had Manic tendencies in his later years and possibly had Bipolar disorder and possibly had bad effects from Arsenic poisoning. He was royally pissed off at the Revolution when it was happening but he did ultimately accept the loss and recognize the new country.
random fact that makes me chuckle: the guy who played the king is the same dude who voiced kristoff in frozen
edit: and again at 13:11 I CANTTT
Hearing "CALL ME SON ONE MORE TIME" distorted sent me
I've been waiting so long for this lmao.
Also like no worries about the high pitch and copyright I think most of the people who watched hamilton before memorized the songs one by one in order and the movement. Including me plus I think its funnier.
Edit:chipmunk Lafayette my beloved
The higher pitch and you knowing what it is meant to sound like makes it seem so cool 😆
When even the chipmunk version of Satisfied is THAT good
"That green coat is all I ever needed in my life."
Get used to it because it's not going away
I really want him to do The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals 😭💖
Update: HE DID IT
yess! even better if he watches Black Friday afterwards!
YES. Man, Starkid...
Yes that would be so good
One of the best, yes he should
YES
Mathew increasingly fangirling over Renee is the single most relatable experience of my life
Satisfied, wait for it, room where it happens, and non stop are some of my favorite songs from this musical. They’re just top tier
You know Hamilton is good when you still get goosebumps with this distortion-
"i shouldn't love him so much"
it's okay, we all do haha. especially during i know him, adams administration and reynolds pamphlet. jonathan groff is just a king. on and off stage
I appreciate the near-immediate simping for Leslie Odom Jr.'s vocals. Can relate.
HE FINALLY DID IT!! HE FINALLY WATCHED HAMILTON!!
Your reaction to Angelica's parts make me so happy it reminds me so much of the first times I watched this
IM SORRY I KNOW ITS PITCHED UP BUT THEY ALL SOUND LIKE THEY INHALED HELIUM AND I COULDNT STOP LAUGHING
Honestly, your reaction to the musical is by far the best I've ever seen. You were completely vibing to it, unlike some other people who complain about tone changes throughout it, and say some of the songs are boring without knowing the context. You never fail to make me laugh even in the songs where I normally cry. Your reactions are priceless! ^^
I love how every Hamilton reaction videos say "Oh sht he's back" when King George shows up
"Oh that cool nice character didn't die!"
That aged poorly
what makes it even better, is that they are all genuinely the nicest people! i've met most of them and they're so humble. :)
Songs might sound diffent because these are the live performances unlike the other ones which are the recording also i love your reactions their so good keep it up =)
You: “It sounds a lot different than the studio version”
Me, listening to the distorted audio: omg you’re right- that’s crazyyyy
(Sorry, I had to make that joke- I get your reasoning, copyright is annoying)
Fun fact - The dream SMP (specifically L’manburg) was somewhat inspired off Hamilton
Also I’d love to see your reaction to fnaf the musical made by random encounters it’s really well made and has tons of different content creators like Markiplier, Natewantstobattle and Matpat
Lmanberg is definitely Hamilton inspired after that is just lore
Fnaf the musical as well as some of the other ones Mark has done are old but gold, I rewatched them so many times when they first came out!!! (my fav use to be Resident Enis)
I was lucky enough to see this show live. "Satisfied" really felt like the turning point of the show. It was entertaining and exciting until that point but "Satisfied" is where I realized what an emotional impact the show would make and started taking it seriously.
16:55
"I love the deep notes"
The notes in question: 📈📈📈🐿️🐿️🐿️
This makes me wanna buy Disney plus just to watch Hamilton again for like the 5th time.
HA! Only 5 times. Rookie numbers
I just wanna warn everyone about the "slime tutorials" with Hamilton in the title, don't look them up if you want to watch the whole musical! 😉 Just looking out for y'all
@@AW-xc1xc 😉 yup, totally just slime tutorials
oh my shoes, mathew, you have no idea how long i've been waiting for this notif
So ready for part 2!
Satisfied is the most hauntingly beautiful song. It’s my favorite along with Aaron burr’s solos
I love the portrayal of the King it's so freaking good and when I watched this movie for the first time I freaked out when I recognized the actor who played the king as Jessie st james from glee and the voice of christoff from frozen and frozen 2 Wait for it is one of my favorite songs from this musical!
the tentation of going on Patreon to see the full thing but.... must...... resist.........
also smth so funny about you going "i love this guy's voice" when to us it's just chipmunk number 3 lmaoo but yeah leslie is a gift to this world he's one of my favorites in the cast, if not my number 1. his line delivery is simply perfect.
jonathan groff has gotta be my number two. i laughed so hard at you saying you were uncomfortable bc what he does is he keeps choosing random audience members and he likes stares at them unblinkingly for a few seconds before going to the next one to get that uncomfortable feeling even we, the digital audience, can get. imagine being there tho and have him sing while staring at you.
also "i thought he was gonna die" "someone's gonna die" "oh i thought someone was gonna die" made me :( strongly. i thought i was already over it but then you left a large part of the scene in and i was gone.
18:12 no one talks about the hug between Laurens, Mulligan and Lafayette - it’s the last time the on stage characters see each other because Laurens 😭
After a while the pitched audio didn't bother me so much so I am sooo happy you reacted to this. It's really something
Even if I have to hear the chipmunk voices, it's worth it to get another Ham reaction to watch:)
Please post yourself watching Act II asap! I have my notifications turned on.
I don't care if the video is distorted or the voice is pitched differently, I just love Hamilton
* about Burr * "This guy like... can not miss"
Viewers that know the musical: o_o'
😂😂😂❤😢
I got to see Hamilton in LA and that first song gave me chills when I saw it. If u ever get to see it in person let me tell u, u will not regret it. It is awesome.
Who knew, Chipmunk Hamilton’s pretty iconic!
You're really making me wanna rewatch the entire musical, huh?
They guy who plays Lafayette in the guns and ships song was singing 6.3 words per second 😄 Lafayette is my favorite character
I legit get chills every single time I listen to any song from Hamilton, they did such a good job!
I’vr watched Hamilton so many times i know whats happening with the higher pitched voices, the gray colors and the blurred screen
I just checked the Patreon out and I didn’t know you were doing written reviews over there too! I might have to become a patron now, especially to see this full reaction. Glad you’re enjoying it
just found this reaction and your channel. wanted to say right off the bat that I appreciate that you changed the pitch of the songs so you can still include them in your reaction - in a hip hop musical where we care for your reaction to the lyrics more than to the music (or is that just me?), it totally works and I am not mad at all :)
although the video and audio are distorted, it doesn’t matter bc your comments are very interesting and entertaining :) one of my favorite reactions to this musical
Would it be weird to ask for you to react to 3 song that got cut from the musical?...Anyway!
'Congradulations' is an Angelica song that 'Burn' took over
Speeking of 'Burn' the original, 'First Burn' is a great listen, too
and finally 'Ten Things One Thing' it has extra lines for 'The World Was Wide Enough'
....and maybe "Dear Theodosia Reprise' because of personal reasons.
ahh this is so fun i love seeing new hamilton reactions! i appreciate all the work put in to edit it so we're able to see so much of it
also satisfied and nonstop are in my top 4 from the musical! the ending of nonstop is a masterpiece
edit: wait this was posted on my birthday omg teehee just for me 😂
My highlight of 2021 was Lesie Odom Jr liking a tweet of mine
You mention the use of talk-singing some instead of just speaking. Between that and the rapping this musical has twice the words of an average musical. Imagine how long it would be or what they’d have to cut if they spoke less rapidly and consistently throughout!
as a drama kid, obsessed with your reaction videos, seeing you react to hamilton is so entertaining
When after “The Ten Duel Commandments “ you said, you thought John Laurens was going to die, I just thought like “Just you wait” (seriously. That’s what I thought. And then I realized it was actually a line from the show)
Please oml I'm gonna cry if you actually react to this
Also fun fact! The order Aaron says the Schuyler sisters' names is the order they die in :D
I gotta admit... These songs and all the drama within them just *hit different* when being sung by the munchkin village from Oz / the local elementary kids choir. 😂
It's amazing how Guns and Ships now sounds like a playground squabble, and Angelica, Eliza, and Hamilton sound like they're playing "house" during a family-friend playdate while their mums catch up over tea in the kitchen.
Fun fact: The person who play the king is the same person who voice acts Christoph from Frozen.
13:07 idk why but something about your anticipation and your words, "c'mon give me, hit me" and your satisfaction when it delivered made me burst out laughing LOL.
I remember having the privilege to go in pretty blind when I saw this show live, and I totally had the same impression as you about the king, haha! I remember being so excited about every cutaway that they brought him back on for because his songs were just the perfect mix of funny and genuinely really good.
I would have rathered this video to be an hour and all in 1 part instead of twoooooooooooooo just because the anticipation is killing me but I'll take what I can get. I can't wait to see your reaction to part two. I'm subscribing to you solely because of this video and potential part 2. Keep up the amazing work!!!!!
If you haven’t yet, I recommend listening to the Newsies musical!!
The musical itself is about the Newsboy Strike of 1899, and it’s music is based off of the 1992 movie (i don’t recommend the movie, though)
It’s got some very good songs, and Disney+ has a live recording of the broadway musical. The dancing as well is amazing! I highly recommend it!
I'll alway prefer the 90s version starring 16 year old Christian Bale! Hahahahaha
Also fun fact. Lin took 5 years to write my shot
