- Singer FINALLY watches HAIRSPRAY (2007) for the FIRST TIME! 🌟
------------------------------------
Movie Summary:
In 1960s Baltimore, dance-loving teen Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky) auditions for a spot on "The Corny Collins Show" and wins. She becomes an overnight celebrity, a trendsetter in dance, fun and fashion. Perhaps her new status as a teen sensation is enough to topple Corny's reigning dance queen and bring racial integration to the show.

I love you too and I’m so proud of you! 🫶🏽 so happy you finally have watched this gem.
My favorite fact about Hairspray : it is tradition to give the role of Tracy Turnblad to an unknown actress, and it's been that way since the first Broadway production!!
And then we were blessed with Nikki Blonsky. 🥰
shes racist though which is actually insane
Actor/singer Drew Seeley was the only time he dubbed Zac's voice. Zac actually does his own singing in HSM 2 &3.
And in Hairspray, Zac sud his own singing
Yeah, iirc the only reason he doesn't sing in HSM1 is that the songs were already written, and they were written for a different voice type to Zac's natural range. They were looking for an actor with a specific voice type, but loved Zac in the role enough that they cast him anyway and just used Drew for the singing role. In HSM2 and 3 they were able to write the songs specifically for Zac's voice so he was able to sing his own parts.
Actually he isn’t singing in hsm1 because his voice started changing(puberty) right when they were starting to record and since that was happening he obviously couldn’t sing. So they had Drew Seely do it.
I came here to say this lol. I was like “who discredited this man? 😭”
@@Darkfae98I had to defend the man lol😂
Yeah so as others have already mentioned. Zac didn’t sing in HSM1, but he really did work hard and fought to sing in HSM2 and HSM3 and it worked. So yes HE IS SINGING in this movie musical as well as in THE GREATEST SHOWMAN too.
luv the greatest showman
And I think he could sing while HSM1 was filming, but all the songs were written in a different pitch or something so they thought Drew Seeley sounded better than Zac.
Can’t wait to do the greatest showman !! 🔥
@@mrflickswatchesYou're going to really love that movie!!! It's really amazing, i loved it very much! 😊
@@hali_55 Yes, this! It's not that Zac couldn't sing, but it was the fact he was out-of-range. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, he does sing in HSM1 as well, but his singing was somehow blended with Drew Seeley's singing to make it seem more natural...hope I'm not making that last part up 😅
Corny Collins was easily my favorite part of this movie. He was such a great guy, he gave Tracy a shot when nobody else would and he was the first person to suggest integrating the kids together. He just wanted to rock out and have fun.
If you haven't heard Queen Latifah sing before, that means you haven't seen Chicago (2002), which she was AMAZING in (and is a great musical in general)
And apparently somehow missed her entire musical career before she ever started movies 😅
@@angelalurtz3638I did honestly didn't even know she had a music career until this film then looked it up because i wanted to know i was shocked. I just for she was an incredible actress.
I was coming to mention Chicago! I think he would love it!
@@angelalurtz3638I think it's just because he said he hadn't heard her sing, only rap. We're aware of her music career.
YES
You can't tell me John Travolta wasn't having the time of his damn life in this movie. You can feel it in every single scene that he's having a blast!
Run and Tell That is 100% my favourite song. His voice is just perfection. 😍
💯 🙌🏾
I love how stacked the cast is! Michelle Pfeiffer, Queen Latifah, John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes, James Marsden and Allison Janney! Love them all!
Travolta is so good in this movie!! fun fact, John Waters (who wrote this) wrote the role of Tracy's mom specifically for timeless drag queen Divine, whom he considered his muse
You need to watch Chicago for some more singing by Queen Latifah (alongside Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta Jones and more).
You should also watch Matilda the Musical just because it's great. It's based on the stage show and the book NOT on the 90s movie. Hence why it's English. The music is great. The musical has been running for over a decade in the West End
I love how Mrs Turnblad is defensive when she first walks into Maybelle's house and then she sees the food and she's like 'Well, anyone who eats is fine by me.' This is one of my favourite movies of all time.
Christopher Walken started his career as a musical theater dancer on Broadway. He's sung in several performances, as well as danced probably most famously in Fatboy Slim's music video for Weapon of Choice, but his big tap number in Pennies from Heaven is unbelievable.
i swear he played captain hook in a peter pan musical, very silly but i loved it
The mom has traditionally been played by a man. Original movie, drag queen Divine played the mom. On Broadway Harvey Fierstein originated the role and returned to the role for Hairspray live on NBC. Very good reaction.
When you said you were going to eat a tuna melt I HOLLERED 🤣
My favorite song of this movie is "Without Love" I love all of them but that's my favorite. If you want to hear Queen La sing some more you HAVE to watch Chicago.
That what i thought!
"I Know Where I've Been" is probably, objectively, the best song in the movie, but my favorite is "You Can't Stop the Beat". It's just so fun and catchy.
I loved how long it took you to realize it was John Travolta. Shows that both he and the makeup department were on point. He did such a(honestly, surprisingly) good job playing Edna!
Absolutely!
Whenever i miss Amanda’s acting i watch Hairspray, Easy A, Shes the Man, Big fat liar and What A Girl Wants 😌 I MISS AMANDAS ACTING SM
This is one of my go-to movies when I need a pick me up. The songs are so happy! And Zac did do his singing in this one. He fought for the right to sing in High School Musical 2 and after that it’s all him. I think he’s great. I love all the songs, but I think my favourites are Big, Blonde and Beautiful, Ladies’ Choice and You Can’t Stop The Beat.
So a LOT of the promo was surrounding John Travolta, actually! He was on Oprah and they made it a huge deal that it was his return to singing. Zac, Amanda, Queen Latifah and Christopher really helped as the cast!
23:30 yes actually, this was Nikki Blonski’s (Tracy Turnblad) first acting role!
Hairspray is my comfort movie and I will ALWAYS listen to the soundtrack when it pops up
A lot of dope songs on here! Watching grease soon ! I’ll probably be jamming to that the whole time too !
I Know Where I've Been is my favorite song. No matter how many times I listen to it, I get cold chills. I don't think Queen Latifa gets enough credit for her singing voice. I love her raps, but I love her singing more. Just beautiful.
Tracy's mom has always been in drag since Divine played her in the first Hairspray. They have kept up the tradition ever since. John Waters, the writer was the flasher in Good Morning Baltimore.
One of my favorite musicals. Yes, I did know it was John Travolta, they advertised it a lot when the movie first came out so we knew it at that time. I honestly don’t know if I could pick a favorite song from this one. I do really love Welcome to the 60’s because you see a shy overweight mom with no confidence get build back up by her daughter and I’ve been that mom. I’m glad you loved it, it was a fun ride! Zack Enron is actually a really good singer, as others have mentioned you need to see the Greatest Showman!
There is nothing that goes harder than that finale, and it's even more impressive on stage.
I remember being a pretentious 'I don't like mainstream stuff' kid in high school, so I actively hated on Zac Efron for a long time, until I saw this movie and realized I had judged him prematurely. Dude's a legit actor and musician, and he absolutely kills this role.
I like that when they had down time. John Travolta sang songs from Grease. This movie and cast are just on point!
My favorite song in this movie...tough choice. "Run and Tell That" and "Big Blonde and Beautiful" are neck and neck. But "You Can't Stop the Beat" is incredible too...AGH!
(Fun fact) the actor who played Tracy turnblad Nikki blonski this was her first movie because the director could not find any over weight teenage actors to star Tracy and the director saw a video of Nikki’s audition and casted her. Also before nikki got casted as Tracy she was working at a cold stone ice cream shop at great neck N.Y.
This movie deals with very serious subjects in a hilarious way and it's brilliant! ❤ ️ I knew who the mom was immediately though, lol. The moment you realized it cracked me up! 😂👍
Queen Latifah also sings in the movie musical Chicago.
I read Zac Efron wasn't told why they didn't let him sing in the first HSM, but he said Drew Seeley's a very talented singer (and Seeley co-wrote "Getcha Head in the Game"), and he considered himself just a lucky guy who can carry a tune. So maybe the producers thought his voice wasn't quite strong enough at that time. And it sounds like he worked hard and fought to sing in the sequels because it was important to him.
There was also a live TV version of Hairspray and the cast for that is pretty spectacular, too. Kristin Chenowith was Mrs. Von Tussle, Martin Short was the Dad, Jennifer Hudson was Maybelle, and Ariana Grande was Penny.
My favorite songs in this movie are "ladies choice", new girl in town", run and tell that" , I know where I've been", without love & you can't stop the beat.
I love the song at 14:38. The part where his little sister comes in is so good!
But I do love all the songs. 'I can hear the bells' cracks me up. The song between Wilbur and his wife, so cute. There isn't any song I would skip.
I think my favorite song might be the one that reactors never mention/see/hear: "Come So Far" is the song that plays over the credits at the end. Honestly though, it's always been hard to pick one.
The girl that sang "good morning baltimore" (the song in the beginning) this was her first movie she did
You should watch Chicago. Queen Latifah got her Oscar nomination for that film. Outstanding performance and one of the most iconic musical performances
Favorite song is prob “I can hear the bells”, “Ladies Choice”, “Without love” or “You cant stop the beat” ofc
"I Know Where I've Been" is my favorite song. Queen Latifa has a couple albums where she is singing rather than rapping. They are wonderful albums and I wish she would do more! She is so beautiful, talented, funny, and wonderful. She and Dolly Parton were in another musical movie "Joyful Noise." A FUN movie. This is a great show. The role John Travolta played is always played by a man. It's a running gag in the history of the show. There was no bad song in this show. Every one of them is a winner. You're right too, we are all part of one single human race. We are all family. We also are all brown. Melanin is the protein that gives humanity its one and only skin color: Brown. Melanin is only brown. There is no white, black, yellow, or red melanin. Not in humanity. We are all one color. Brown! Some people have a lot of melanin. But blown plus brown plus brown makes brown, not black! Very little melanin does not make white, it makes very light brown. We are all brown and that's a scientific fact. So people dividing because of skin color is pure anti-scientific ignorance as well as bigoted. It makes no sense whatever! When we focus more on our likenesses then we can appreciate and celebrate and learn from each other about our differences. However, when we focus on our differences, we don't appreciate our likenesses, instead we become divided and there are powers in our world that want us divided. It's logically contrary to what should be. The point: let's focus on our single humanity, our single human family and thereby appreciating our uniquenesses and differences. But in the end we are all THE SAME. Refuse to be divided especially on the scienceFICTION of different skin colors and different races.
Zac Efron did sing in high school musical, his only lipsync was in the first movie then his voice came in HSM 2 and 3 and it is him singing in hairspray!
Zac Efron didnt sing in High school Musical 1, but in 2 and 3 he did sing, he also sang in Hairspray! HSM 1 was the only movie he never sang in fyi! love the reaction
Funny story: when I was in high school I was a part of the drama department, and at the end of the school year we would have something called the drama awards. It was basically an award show and it had everything from awards to performances. My group was on of the performances and we were doing you can’t stop the beat from hairspray. The plan was to have the song from hairspray live play but they played the song from the original hairspray instead (for those who don’t know they are basically two different songs). Oh my god, when I tell you I’m still traumatized to this day, and this happened during my junior year of high school and I will be starting college this month. I get flashbacks of me just standing on the stage in front of a bunch of people not sure what to do. Luckily this didn’t give me stage fright or performance anxiety. Because the next year my group was chosen again to perform, we did we both reached for the gin from Chicago, it was amazing)
"Bianca knows that" 🤔🤨🤐😂😉🤣
Hairspray is one of the best cast musicals out there!! The movie was fire too!!
If you want to see more Queen Latifah singing you need to see Chicago!
It’s also just an incredible movie
The whole soundtrack is so good for this movie!! I Can Hear the Bells, Run & Tell That, Without Love, Welcome to the 60's....🥰🤩
His vocals just were not ready for HSM1 he recorded but they didn't use it. But he worked hard and after that always did his own vocals. He killed it in the greatest showman
Love this one and the original. I randomly saw this in theaters and loved it right away. The music is so good. 💖
People led you wrong. Zac WAS singing, but his voice was blended with Drew Seeley's because the part was written for a tenor and Zac is a baritone. Zac was not attached to the role yet when the part was written so when he signed on, they made some adjustments.
You’ll love the movie “Chicago” with Queen Latifa as the warden, Mama Morton!
I Know Where I've Been makes me cry every time I hear it. This movie is iconic. It has flaws for sure but the songs and the energy are just so good and positive.
I watched your channel for the first time when you reacted to Hamilton and became an immediate subscriber. Now you're watching Hairspray! Yes, I saw this in theaters when it first came out and I did know back then who played "the mother!" My favorite song is the song that Queen Latifah sings during the march. I am probably one of the oldest viewers of your channel and I unfortunately remember when television and life for that matter were segregated. I lived in New England but the suburbs where I grew up were "quite white." Born in 1955, I was in 3rd grade when President Kennedy was assassinated and I remember the times portrayed in this movie. Many things have changed, some for the better and some haven't changed at all. When I watched you watching Hamilton and this movie, I was laughing, smiling and enjoying myself so much that it made my heart happy. Keep up the good work on your channel. Oh, and if you want to see Queen Latifah in her first movie musical watch "Chicago". She plays the warden in the women's prison. She has a great song. When you watched Hamilton you said you were also a dancer. Chicago has some fabulous dance numbers The Cell Block Tango is my favorite. Enjoy! Now I have to watch the rest of Hairspray! 😆
‘Run and tell that’ has to be the best song in this movie without a doubt 🙌🏻
I have the soundtrack saved as a playlist and listen often... love it!!!
Run and tell that, the new girl in town (sung by the Lil shop of horrors trio) and I know where I’ve been are my favourite songs in the movie. They just have so much energy ❤
John Waters directed the 1st Hairspray movie in 1988 - but he is also in this movie as a cameo! He plays the flasher in the 1st song, Baltimore😄
I adore Queen Latifah. She came out when I was in high school, everyone loved her music. Then she started acting and has turned into a great actress. My favorite of hers is a cheesy romcom with LL Cool J, it’s called Last Holiday. She simply shines in this one and L isn’t in it that much.
This is a movie that is an absolute go-to for me when I want to watch something and don't know what. Queen Latifah IS in fact a G.O.A.T., and is incredible here.
Many have mentioned "Chicago" (an absolute MUST SEE), but for even more singimg I suggest a very underseen movie "Living Out Loud". She plays a jazz chanteuse, and delivers 3 classics. Also check her out in "Bessie", where she portrays "Empress of the Blues", Bessie Smith.
Looking forward to more of your reviews!
MY FAVOURITE SONGS IN THIS MOVIE ARE MOST DEFINITELY RUN AND TELL THAT, NICEST KIDS IN TOWN AND ITS(HAIRSPRAY). I LOVE THE WAY SEAWEED SOUNDS AND JAMES MARSDEN SINGING JUST 😩😩
TH-cam recommended this video to me and I was not disappointed. Subscribed. (Also love that you didn't catch it was John Travolta at first). I saw it in theaters and I still love it to this day.
Christopher Walken has sung in a few movies. The most recent one was probably the 2016 Jungle Book. He was the voice of King Louie and sang over the closing credits. He was also a trained dancer before he was an actor.
Glad you reacted to this movie, all time favorite ones to chill, and my favorite song is "New Girl In Town"
The song from the march is honestly the most moving so I'd say it's my favorite
Yes this was Nikkis first movie
I absolutely love this movie from start to finish, and I love your reaction to this, and every comment you said was with positivity
I’m really glad you reacted to In The Heights! I don’t have the funds to do your Patreon, but I’m happy you enjoyed it!
I saw the Broadway show Hairspray in Dec 2007. George Wendt (Norm) from Cheers tv show played the same role as John Travolta.
Travolta and Walker make this movie the best song is by far run and tell that he’s just so damn smooth
In the live version NBC did a few years back, when Jennifer Hudson sang I Know Where I've Been, the actor that played Link started crying and I don't think he was scripted to do so.
There are some great musicals out there that not a lot of people have reacted to. *Hedwig and the Angry Inch* (2001); *Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical* (2005), which is hilarious, and *Little Shop of Horrors* (1986). All of them have really fabulous music, singing, and dancing.
Edit: And how could I forget *Chicago* (2002), also with Queen Latifah.
lol…”once go black you never go back.” I broke that rule off and on over the years lololol
Tracy's dad is traditionally played by a man in stage productions. Also, Michelle Pfieffer played the "evil tv lady" (to add to the stars represented). My favorite song is Without Love.
I LOVE Queen Latifah. She has such soul in her voice.
Out of the songs in the movie, my top 5 are:
Run & Tell That
Big, Blonde & Beautiful
Without Love
I Know Where I've Been
and
You Can't Stop The Beat
Called hairspray because in the era 1960s so much hairspray was used… between backcombing you hair you could easily use one can of spray each time and the hight some girls got their hair was mind blowing
When the movie came out it was advertised everywhere about him playing the mom. My friends and I dressed up and went to see the movie. The movie theatre had a grand 50s party after the movie.
Going back through some of my favorite flicks. Yes Christopher Walken sang as King Louie in the live action Jungle Book remake from Disney
Thank you, thank you, thank you for being exactly who you are. I am so happy that I discovered your channel. ❤
Thank you 🙏🏼 appreciate that a lot !
Run and Tell That is my all time favorite song from this show
4:20 he sang in this and he sang in all HSM sequels. People over exaggerate drew seely (however you spell it) singing in the first one. He got a lot better afterwards
That song with queen l is my favorite. I love how soulful her voice is. And the song makes me cry
My favorite songs were “big, blonde and beautiful” and “run and tell that”
I'd recommend you check out Chicago also. Queen Latifah is in that as well, and her singing is excellent. :) Plus, it's a great movie filled with great actors (Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zelwegger, Richard Gere, John C Reilly, Taye Digs, Mya - just to name a few)
Queen Latifah also played Ursula during The Little Mermaid live a few years ago.
Grease and Hairspray... two musicals I played in repeat when I was a kid
I watched this movie myself for the first time about maybe three months ago now and I was sort of onto John Travolta, but at the same time the realization hadn't struck me yet until my husband (who I know has never seen the movie before) came home during a scene with him and he just said 'you know that's John Travolta right?' which had me super confused at first but then it FINALLY clicked!
I was so embarrassed it hadn't clicked sooner. 🤦♀
Michelle Pfeffer is the biggest star in the film. In her day she was box office gold. I enjoyed watching your reaction to the movie for your first time. And yes, I went thru the whole movie without recognizing John Travota.
"where i've been" is MY fave...
The "Grease" movie connection is so cool, John Travolta was in the original movie, and Michelle Pfeiffer is in "Grease 2." You should also watch both of those movies for an afternoon of cute fun. Oh, and don't forget the movie musical "Cry-baby" written by the same writer who did "Hairspray" John Waters another crazy ride! Loved your reaction.
Mr. Pinky (the clothing store owner) Is Ben Stiller's father Jerry Stiller. He and his wife Anne Meara were one of the best comedy teams of the 60's.
I Know where I’ve been is objectively the best song - but Run and Tell That is a fave, Elijah’s voice and dancing is amazing and it disappoints me at least once a week that he hasn’t gotten other big roles since.
It's actually a nod to the 1988 film version of 'Hairspray' to have Tracy's mother played by a man in drag, in 1988 however it was the legendary drag queen Divine in that role, as well as (in male dress) the TV station owner.
Queen Latifah did amazing at “I Know Where I’ve Been.” I seen other reactors saying that the other strong black singers in the movie could have sang it better, but I think that misses the point. Her performance is so simple, yet dignified; sorrowful, yet hopeful. She didn’t need crazy runs to make it my favorite song of the musical
Can't believe I've JUST realized that the accent Travolta is making (although I guess it's supposed to be Baltimore's) sounds exactly like Cher, somehow
Oh man, Queen Latifah is simply amazing. I was in high school when she started. I was never into rap but there’s something about her that you can’t help but like. Sorry, to my point, have you seen her in a movie called Last Holiday? LL is in it too but not much screen time. Anyway, she’s simply amazing in this movie. I don’t know a ton about her but in my head, her character in that movie is how I imagine she really is. You really should see it, it’s got a great message too.
Queen Latifah sung this for an event (clip on YT). It's my favorite song. I've been surprised some have been critical of her work as if she's too "clean." It's very effective imo.
Zac sung in the second and third movie just not in the first that was Drew Seeley that’s why when they did the hsm tour Zac didn’t go
This was one of my favorite movies growing up. The soundtrack is so freakin good. The music in Grease is amazing as well.
I love the songs in this but my favorite are "I know where I've been" and "you can't stop the beat"
We do sometimes refer to Baltimore as "Smalltimore" cuz it is a small city.
My favorite song was "You Can't Stop the Beat" at the end of the movie.
As someone who has been through some very tough times, I love the song I know where I’ve been.
this casting was amaaaazing, i mean even for the original, ricki lake absolutely killed it
Indeed !! I only knew about Zac.. I ended up seeing every celebrity known to man 🤣💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
