i love that mirabel’s little verse about how isabela was living the life of her dreams isn’t to the melody of what else can i do but it’s the melody of isabela’s verse in we don’t talk about bruno! i love that little callback
Oh wow i didn’t notice that, so cool!
yes i always noticed that! i love it so much
Mmhmm. She was living the life of everyone else's "dream" more specifically Abuela pretty much. She even looks like young Abuela. But it's not Isabela's dream.
Good thing I wasn’t the only one who noticed that haha
Good thing I wasn’t the only one who noticed that haha
To this day I remain impressed with the rhyme "flor de mayo" with "by the mile." Same with "carnivorous" and "deliver us."
So do I, and I don't get how people don't talk about it, is just so so perfect
Yes! Agree
I also like how Isabella interrupts her singing to *speak* this line, as she reaches out to help Mirabel up. It reminds me of the moment when Louisa adjusts Mirabel's glasses in "Surface Pressure." Up until that point, it feels like Isabella has been ignoring / oblivious to Mirabel, but instead, she's always aware of her.
And I also like how this sequence of the movie is a complete story arc of character development for *both* of them; Isabella starts to free herself from expectations of perfection, and Mirabel moves from thinking of the apology hug with her sister as an obligation to get over with to something she *wants* to do with full enthusiasm.
And river and shiver.
YEEEES! It's one of my favorites because the pronunciation is almost exactly the same for words that couldn't be spelled more differently...GENIUS!
I love that Isabela's "in the moment" musical style is rock. As she slowly lets go of the pretty and perfect, her singing changes from the Disney style to a more rocker vibe!
For that matter, so does her outfit and hair.
@@marksebree5218 have you seen the punk rock concept art they have of her from the preproduction? It is so deliciously intentional!
And when she does the JUST LET ME BE sou D's like rebel iOS rock pop
Music is based in music pop of Shakira, Juanes from Colombia
@@marksebree5218 and her voice. Like another voice reactor said, it goes from typical Disney princess to Alanis Morissette.
When Mirabel called Isabela "selfish" she was so mad and as she confesses "I never wanted to marry him! I was doing it for the family!" I immediately understood why the word "selfish" made Isabela so angry. Like she may have been alot of things but she certainly was not selfish. And it was so nice to see Mirabel helping her come out of her "perfect" false image that she was trying so hard to portray. Isabela starts off singing perfectly like a Disney princess and as she embraces her true self she starts to belt out loud deep notes in the song! I love it!!!
I also love these two lines: Isabela: "Changing minds." Mirabel: "You've changed mine."
Mirabel helped (somewhat accidentally, tbh) Isabela to embrace imperfection and not put up a facade, but she also admits that she herself had a wrong perception of Isabela and changed her mind. I love that!
And like you said, the contrast between Isabela's perfect Disney princess singing in We don't talk about Bruno and how she's singing here is also a perfect way to show the character in the music!
I find it so funny she got upset at selfish but didn't even refute the entitled part XD
@@Direwolf181 Well in a sense all of the “good stuff” was entitled to her by Abuela Alma. So in that case she is.
@@Direwolf181 yes!! 😆 that was funny! She's like "yeah entitled but selfish is where I draw the line!" Lol!LOL!!
@@4Tom4lepus4 Absolutely!!! Isa is so misunderstood.
Finally, someone has the right reaction to this song, everyone is so caught up with the other songs that they forget how good this one is.
This is my favorite song in the movie ❤️
@@Cake342 I second this
Everyone talks about We Don't Talk About Bruno, which is still a good song, but people are sleeping on What Else Can I Do
I love Isabella and her character, everyone else is just focused on how she was to mirabel and not how she is doing.
@@frogchan1623 ikr
One of the things I love about this song is how many more plants she starts growing, and how much fun she has with them. Her gift is not being perfect. Her gift is phytokinesis, but she's never been allowed to explore what she can really do with it. It's so much fun to see her almost geeking out about plants. The whole perfection thing was imposed on her just because she is beautiful and can grow flowers, but it really never connected with her self or her actual gift.
It makes me hope they do a tv series based on Encanto because South and Central America have so many great native plants that they could use and call attention to.
Also, I live in an area where jacarandas are used as an ornamental tree and they’ve always been one of my favorite flowers, but if you mention them people usually don’t know what they are.
I was so giddy when they were in this song. Maybe now at least people will know they’re a pretty purple flower.
@@Annie_Annie__ Jacarandás are beautifull, In Argentina it's usually found in the streets and in the spring you see Buenos Aires turn purple
It's the pressure of being the firstborn in the family, having to be an example to all the others
Actually in the verse "seize the moment, keep going", the one who is singing is Mirabel haha she's an amazing singer
One thing I love of this song is how at the end Isa says to Mirabel: "you're a bad influence" and then both sisters laugh...I don't know why...I just adore that moment for some reason...
Same it hits my heart good
I loved how Mirabel started off critical of Isabela, but when she understands the pressure on Isa to be "perfect", she switches to just encouraging her to be true to herself. After the key change, Mirabel's part turns to words of encouragement and Isa's voice really breaks free. I play this one first thing in the morning to help me start my day dancing :)
this is my favorite song. as a gifted golden child who now suffers from burnout and crippling fear of failure in my 30s, i feel isabellas story so much.
THIS!!!
This song makes me cry, too. Particularly the part where they're on the roof and Mirabel says "go!" And "grow!" "Seize the moment, keep going!" Just the loving support she is showing to Isabela when just a few minutes prior they were mad at each other. It's just such a sweet moment.
The lyrics are sooo deep it is scary how relatable they are
Also, I love that in the end Isabela's dress is covered in yellow, blue, and red, the Colombian flag colours
I always love how the moment Mirabel realizes what Isa has been struggling with, she drop all the jealousy and resentment to become her biggest hype man.
I like the irony how the song is about being okay to be imperfect, but the lyricism itself is perfection.
Seriously... when you FELT that moment, I had the same response. I've heard the song so many times but when you sit and watch the characters interact and their facial expressions WITH the song, it just gets you!
I love that Isa is literally the cliche disney princess, even in how she sings, but she actually hates being perfect all the time and just wants to be herself.
i also love the "what could i do if i just grew what i was feeling in the moment" bit. how it flows and instrumental to go with it are just so good.
The "it just seems like your life's been a dream" part, something about the melody there gives me absolute chills and I tear up too just from the sound of that melody
It's the same melody as Isa's part in the Bruno song.
You should most definitely react to Waiting on a Miracle. It’s such a beautiful song!!
THIS !!
A little suggestion, if you watch Dos oruguitas you should get subtitles cause the lyrics is beyond beautiful. Also there’s an English version called two oruguitas, maybe you could include that
The English version plays during the credits.
Dos oruguitas es hermosa
That song destroyed me😭
an interesting point about the character of Isabella, she would seem to make a pretty good mother.
in many cases, when you have the parent grow up as "the perfect one" (male or female) they would sometimes expect their kids to be just as perfect (if not more so), but here we see that she does not expect perfection from her creation, which is something parents should take heed to.
If anything, Isabel is incredibly proud and happy that her creations are beautiful and colorful, yet imperfect.
I really love mirabell's line in the song before they start singing together
"All I've known are the blossom you've grown, but it's awesome to see how you rise!"
Because while mira has only knows perfect issabela, she's exited to learn the more chaotic part of her!
Yeah the rhyme is cool, but can we talk about the allitteration in “I make perfect, practiced poses”? It sounds too good to be real! He must be a genius if he used that literary device so well…
I think a lot of adults are really loving this movie because the themes are more adult, in that they are about dealing with stress, trauma, and family problems. I think it is connecting with people who have trouble in their families, and for those of us who don't have much of that, it's still a deep and important theme. Plus the music rocks.
I'm surprised that in none of the reaction videos of this song, no one has said anything about where Isabela ends her verse with "I want something true, don't you?" and Mirabel opens her verse with, "You just seem like your life's..." because it's so catchy and flows perfectly!
Isabela could've had a movie of her own; her arc always felt so fast to me (plus her forgiving Mirabel for "always ruining [her] life").
Yes, I think all the family members need a film of their own. I want to know so much more about them, especially Dolores and her daily life with this doomed gift...
@@kurikuri6683 I like to think that Dolores' gift is selective. She can chose whether to hear something or not. It makes me feel better, anyway, because I'd go insane if I could hear an entire town worth of chatter 24/7.
@@KevinIrish I hope that her gift works like this! Maybe the director of encanto will explain it someday
Kevin Irish i think it is selective! (hopefully) cause when abuela asked her about the time mariano is going to propose to isabela, she started to use her power in order to hear them. really hope this is true cause if not.. then poor dolores 😭
Especially since in her subconscious she knew she didn’t want to marry the guy. That’s probably why the flower hit him on the nose three times.
Your energetic reaction to “What Else Can I Do” took us all to another level. This is the kind of reaction that we yearn for. When it touched your heart & soul, we felt it as well. Well done! #subscriptionsquad
The “ hurricane of jacarandas “ came from a friend of Miranda, she was a botanist. Jacaranda flowers, based on physical appearance, looks like Isabella’s dress 😱. The flower represents rebirth. If you want to go further down the rabbit hole, purple represent beauty but at the same time represents pomposity. The character’s physical appearance told us everything we need to know about her.
Your reaction to this song is just unparalleled because I rarely see people tearing up with this song and I personally resonate and feel the depth when Isabela and Mirabel were truly talking within that part of the song and I just get kind of emotional too. So relatable for people who are expected to exhibit perfection and I could never simply describe how there are layers and layers of depth to unravel with Encanto, these characters, and their songs.
This movie was for adults. Addressed immigrants, family issues, self-identity. Surface Pressure hit me hard as a father and oldest brother, the expectation of outward strength. Everyone can feel represented here. I never got how Isabella's song can have a similar impact. This will be a movie that gets remembered for years to come.
I LOVE when Isabella truly smiles before that big key change and her colorful, messy pollen exploded dress is awesome
This song is so beautifully composed and written, I literally listened to the backing vocals alone and I found it so interesting how the backing vocals were more enthusiastic and instead of enforcing the same tone like under the surface it contrasts the main vocals as if it were her inner voice breaking out, in the last chorus the backing vocals say "I'm coming through with tabebuia.. booyah" which complements mirabels line by giving power to the consonants, sorry for the full breakdown 😅
This is the best song in the album. The meaning, the lyrics, the everything.
actually it's mirabel that says "seize the moment, keep going" but yes, this song is so good!😭
a thing i love about this song is that mirabel isn't truly paying attention at first, if you've watched the movie she's only focused on saving the miracle, but she gradually gets invested in isa's ranting and starts singing and adding to it. really beautiful
Lin Manuel Miranda can do no wrong when making music!
I really hope this movie gets all the awards because it really is that good!😊
I have never seen someone on TH-cam who reacted to this song like this...and I gotta say I LOVE this! What Else Can I Do and Isabela overall gets ignored/even hated on by the fandom surprisingly much, but I absolutely love Isa's design, development and just her character. What Else Can I Do honestly struck me as one of the best songs in Encanto, and one I can relate to! I just love your reaction ehehe
It’s is one of my favorites!!! Thank you for your kind words!
Ayyyy! I love this song so much and I actually requested it on your Surface Pressure video 😂 As you can tell i'm super hyped for this and I really think this is an underrated song from the movie. The movie is amazing and all the songs are just bops.
Ive always said that this is almost like "let it go" pt. 2. Isabella is letting go of her fears and perfection and becoming who she is truly wants to be.
Oh finally a worthy reaction for this song! I had the same "breakdown" at the cinema when this song started. I never understood why the other reactions channels do not cry with this song!! I love your voice as well :) #SubscriptionSquad
It's because previously Isabela was portrayed so unlikable, but It's great people end up loving her.
@@andresbarriga5305 She really wasn’t that bad, it just felt like she reminds people of the “golden child” in their own families🤷♀️.
@@myasmith1820 She was a brat. It was intentional.
In the Spanish version of What Else Can I Do, Inspiración, Mirabel sings “Hoy tus ojos se abren
Al fin de este sueño podrás despertar
Sabré ser original
Solo he visto tus flores brotar
Pero adoro mirarte volar”. Basically saying Isabela is waking up from a dream.
What I love about this movie is that they show the insecurities and struggles of all stages of sisters. Like the older, the middle and the youngest sister. All go through the pressures but through different things and it’s just amazing how they managed to show it all
Glad to see I wasn’t the only one to notice the small nod towards Frozen!
I love that high note at 8:17, it's so powerful idk how to describe it
Hands down my favourite song from the film. The part where Mirabel starts to really understand Isabela and they begin singing together really gets me emotionally every time. Also, it is *very* easy to get caught up in these songs.
Your channel, is becoming my new favorite! I'm excited about seeing this!
Thank you so much!!
@@daniellemariesings I think that the sculpture scene may have been a nod to Frozen 2 too! Plus right after that she puts her hand along the wall and color goes with it just like the light guiding Elsa in the song "show yourself" her voice sounds a little like Elsa too in some parts.
I just found a random reply so it would be more likely to be noticed 😅.
Oh and I almost forgot the cactus in the beginning looks like it may be a Micky that most if not all Disney movies have.
notice when she sings the line: “it’s not symmetrical or perfect but it’s beautiful and it’s mine” that line represents that she doesn’t care anything is perfect cause that line wasn’t perfect it went out of rhythm showing her imperfection.
Something I noticed, roses are the perfect flower for Isabella. They are the image of perfection, but the image we have is of the flower itself, not the plant, which is very false. I mean, artists often forget that a rose has thorns and has it being held casually or carelessly.
A cacti on the other hand has a more real image, we think about the thorns and it's weird shape, which is accurate to the plant.
Plus, both the roses and cacti are prickly plants that produce a beautiful flower.
🥲 I'm not crying because you were... I'm totally fine. I felt that when you got teary eyed there. I feel like a lot of us see ourselves in these amazing characters. These songs and this movie really capture those moments we have in our heads.
I love how raw your emotions are in this reaction vid. As an older sister myself, I definitely resonate with both Isabela and Luisa. This is probably my favorite song out of the movie, closely followed by Surface Pressure. Love your purple outfit btw! Great aesthetic! Can't wait for you to react on Dos Oruguitas and All of You #subscriptionsquad
All of You! Yes! Please do this one, also.
I almost wanted to cry when I heard that song and I had seen the movie before
Each song in the movie has hints to how to save it. Luisa was tied down with chains that represents service and worth. Isabela was trapped by perfect chains. The lock keeping the chains tight is abuela. Mirabel also had chains. It wasn’t until she broke free she could become the sledgehammer that her family
Oh my goodness I was bawling in the theater. This song is what finally broke me down 😭
This song is so perfect featuring a girl who doesn't want to be perfect. The message she gives, that you don't have to be perfect anymore, accompanied by her younger sister accompanying her and at the end thanking Mirabel, after having been so...hard on her and Mirabel is finally surprised to be hugged by her older sister! At the end Isa tells her, you're a bad influence jokingly, it's beautiful!. And the rhythm is based on rock in Spanish from the 90's.
Dont worry, that line where you feel like crying was the line I cried in the cinema and where I tear up every time o hear the soundtrack
the way i like to say it is that Encanto is for kids, and for the adults they grew into
I love that Encanto is bringing me too so many cool vocalists/vocal coaches. It’s amazing how a movie about family seems to be bringing a lot of the internet together
I believe Lin mentioned in an interview that he wanted Isa to channel 90’s-rock-Shakira by the time the song turns around after Mirabel’s verse
Fun fact: the topiary that Isabella destroys with the vine is posed exactly how Abuela stands. Straight and tall, with her hands clasped together
When you get to dos oruguitas... There's an English version but I think the Spanish version is so much more profound. It loses something in English. Consider watching it with subtitles or looking at the lyrics while you listen!
A beautiful song. the Spanish version is amazing.
Lin-Manuel is a genius! He's the only person I know of who rhymes within verses (most rhymes will come at the end of a verse). His use of alliteration is genius as well.
There are several frozen references in the movie. Another is near the end with Bruno telling pepa to ‘let it snow, let it go’
Lin Manuel Miranda is an absolute genius with his lyrics, man. He knows how to get you right in the feels in every musical he does.
The film deals with the whole extended family, including the people from the town. Abuela has been so strict and focused on how they use their special gifts that she has forgotten what the true gift is...it is every family member because they all have a role in the family to help it grow.
You connecting to Isa is like me connecting to Louisa. I think that's what makes Encanto so perfect and is making everyone so emotional. If you watch a therapist react to it it helped me understand why it was making me cry. Basically each character represents a family role and you can easily identify which one you are and it creates a deeper emotional response cause you see yourself in it. I honestly feel like this is the first Disney movie that the characters feel like real people with personalities. They aren't manic pixie dream girls, insta love, or about a clear attempt to be progressive. Encanto is organic and just... no words..perfection.
I've read a few times that the song/family member you most relate to explains your own trauma, and we witnessed it live here in your reaction. It's really interesting because I don't relate at all to Isabela, thankfully in a way, but hearing why you do makes me understand more of that perspective! And while I love Isabela as a character already, having your point of view helps me understand the different pressures the Perfect Sisters of my family might be going through.
When I first sat down to listen to Encanto before watching it, I ended up sobbing so hard at Surface Pressure. Being the eldest sister to a golden child means I had to sacrifice a lot growing up to parent him and was always berated for rocking the boat too much. My brother sent me to the hospital multiple times, yet I was always at fault for provoking him. So Luiza and Mirabel are my two most reflected characters.
I love the trend in animated movies over the last... decade? to focus on FAMILY relationships, and relationships with some complexity.
I always thought of this song as the floral version of "let it go"
My favorite thing about this song is that when you get to Isabella, you kind of expect her to have this grand pop song that's sweet and cute and pretty, but I love that, instead, you get this pop rock sound that allows her to break away from what you expect from her. The music becomes more free the deeper you get into the song, just like she does. There's so much beauty in this movie and the songs alone
I repeat it again, I love your reactions. You can connect very well with the songs even without having seen the movie. That is awesome.
Fun fact: Lin Manuel Miranda said that for this song he was inspired by 90s Latin pop/rock. Especially in Shakira's music.
Even just watching the mv I cry when the sisters have a bit of monologue - it's not just you, don't worry lol
This is my favorite song in Encanto. Isabella who was always under the pressure of the perfect persona, included the way she acted even to the point of always doing what she was told. In we don't talk about bruno Isabella sings her part in this Classic Disney princess sort of voice, adding to this impression. Just before this song they had gotten into an argument where Isabella claimed mirabel ruined something. Mirabel said she could still do it like she wanted. And Isabella finally yelled out (breaking her persona) that she never wanted to, and was doing it for the family, stomping her foot making the cactus. Queuing the song. It still starts a little princess-y but slightly off and progressively get's more and more into this pop-rock feel as she's breaking out of her mold and showing what she has been bottling up and it is glorious. That moment on the palm tree was a great bonding between sisters and you can FEEL it.
Found your channel the other day with these Encanto break downs. Just wanted to say I’ve been loving them and you’re absolutely nailing it. Lin is just such a genius. He puts so many layers and thought into every inch of every song it’s just ridiculous. Also if you missed the VIVO movie soundtrack from last Fall I highly recommend you go listen to that too! Basically every song in there is incredible as well. So good
Mirabel's voice is so cute!!! I can't!!! And Isabela's voice is beautiful. This song is just so good!
the little reverberated pulses at the beginning remind me. of ellipses as in; "What else can I do...?" like the possibilities are endless.
the movie is for all members of the family, from the youngest to the eldest. The movie wanted to tell us that a family doesn't need to be perfect. There are misunderstandings and imperfections but the way to resolve this is by opening up, listening and accepting. Of all the Disney movies, encanto is my favorite.
I love Isabela's vocal transition from typical Disney Princess™ to rock star.
You should react to "All of You". It really has the Lin Manuel Miranda vibe you also find in Hamilton, out of all the songs in Encanto. It also is a tear jerker!
This song is so under appreciated
I love how when Isabella was introduced she was painted to be the stereotypical Disney princess. But in reality she really doesn’t want to be one.
And actually I think the typical Prim and Proper Princess actually had songs like Ballad and/or Pop.
Isabella sung Pop Rock. And also shown at the end just by her appearance. She looked more like Pop Rockstar than a Perfect Princess. Maybe one of their similarities with Elsa who also seeks freedom on the first Frozen movie.
The reason is actually quite simple. Once Isabela learn she could create roses and princess type flowers and Mirabel’s failed gift ceremony. Alma basically ordered Isabela to stop testing her powers and quickly became the favorite grandkid. Due to both letting out their feels at each other peak Isabela was able to do something new. This is the moment she realized that perfect is impossible and started using her gift for its true purpose hence why the candle got brighter
I would say the movie is generational. It's hitting notes with parents who have gone through it (bigger sibling, the oddball) while talking to the kids who are GOING through it and teaching families (hopefully) to COMMUNICATE.
So excited for this one. Everytime you react to Encanto, I'm loving the movie even more! 💓💓💓
#subscriptionsquad
This movie was composed by Lin-Manuel Maranda who was a Tony Award winner for his show Hamilton. He's from Puerto Rico in real life
That Frozen II callback, yes!!! While watching it I knew it has to be a referenece but then I couldn’t figure it out. I think it could indeed be a nod to Elsa 😊
I watched someone else talk about this song and I quite like one of the terms he used to describe the relationship in the song. We start with a "Broken Duet" between them and by the end it transitions into a straight up duet.
I like how Mirabel sings in the part where they are on the tree to the melody of Isabella's part in We Don't Talk About Bruno
Your shirt matching the theme of the video is just adorable!
I’m going to be completely honest I haven’t seen anyone react to all of you from Encanto it’s the final song in the movie and I really like it!
You say this song wrecked you, but I am an adult man and I was bawling my eyes out from the first verse so you held it together a lot better than some.
It's a emotional line I also cried
Been waiting on this reaction for so long ❤️
I'm also glad that we're getting more relatable people and fewer perfect princesses. Now if their Star Wars team could get the message...
I can't wait until you react to dos orugitas. I have watched encanto 10 times and every single time it makes me cry
This is the most underated encanto song by far
Lin’s writing always makes my eyes sweaty lol
I love the Flor De Mayo by the mile part!
I learned that Flor de mayo means flowers of may! It's also a festival in the Philippines
Jacaranda are also a flower that grow in South America
I love the jacaranda trees in Southern California. Their blossoms are a sort of blue-purple and they look like smoke hanging in the sky.
Every reaction videos i've watched, everyone crack a smile when both of them say "Lets go". This is my favorite song.
I don’t know why, but when you said “Grandma’s losing it!” Made me cackle 🤣
