So much sadness in this song. Dogfight is so beautiful (both the film and musical. They are equally good, if you ask me.), and Lindsay puts so much emotion into this… She is just as good as Lili Taylor, and I never knew I could say that about anyone. Ever. As soon as she says "no one likes maroon," my heart breaks. That look on her face that slowly gets sadder and sadder… Such brilliant acting.
heartbreaking. So many of us (women) have suffered abuse by men who well....didn't know any better at the time. You capture the humiliation, the indignity, the anger, the sadness and the beauty in the end. Congrats.
Lyrics Close the window draw the curtain Hide of the bright light of the moon Hang the dresses ugly dresses No one like maroon Wipe off all that stupid lipstick Return the earrings to their case Make-up wont make any difference It's still the same old face Isn't it funny? Isn't it funny? Isn't it funny you believed that it was real *laughs* Pretty funny All disasters have an upside You can find one if you tried You went dancing, you were dancing, you were dancing with a guy Isn't it funny? Isn't it funny? Aren't you funny? Pathetically na've and desperate to believe You can always find some good Well you misunderstood Or you've been dreaming 'Cause people are just cruel Shut the light off turn the bed down No more crying don't you dare You'll wake up sometime tomorrow and forget to even care Isn't it funny? Isn't it funny? For a moment he convinced me I could be pretty, funny

Watched this 20 times in a row. How do I stop pushing the repeat button? I don't think I have any water left in my body, they're all absorbed in my pillow.
Major goosebumps. Theres something about Lindsay that when she sings, I get lost in the lyrics and they suddenly mean so much to me. Lindsay Mendez is amazing and I hope to meet her one day.
@@jenchia652 it's funny how I get from this song to the Heathers Musical stuff... I kno this is off topic, but any tips for starting a TH-cam channel that I'd sing on?
I come back to this often when I need to be moved! Lindsay has no trouble doing that with this wonderful performance!!! Absolute perfection, and soul wrenching!!!
I've watched this so many times over the years. It is one of the most flawless performances I've ever seen! Not to mention the feeling she expresses! Absolutely stunning!!
My voice teacher had me listen to this and I can't stop listening and crying, I've never seen this musical but I need to watch it now, one song has made me fall in love with this character!
I'm speechless. I wish I could have seen this live!!! it was under the radar for me. LOVE this soundtrack. She finally got her Tony, thank the Broadway Gods!!!
OMFG this is unreal, Lindsay Mendez, I didn't think it was possible to love you more, then I see this...STELLAR, god, how she ACTS, it rips your heart out!
I just realized that she has the headphones on backwards. If you pause at 3:45, you can see that the cup she is wearing on her left ear is the right cup. It's not really relevant, it's just pretty funny.
I've checked out a few other versions of this song, for me, no one captures the sheer emotion of those words like Lindsay Mendez.. And her vocals are unmatched.. She's simply amazing!!
Wow.. I saw her in Wicked on the 10th and now I can't get enough.. I'm all about all things Lindsay Mendez right now.. She is an absolute PHENOMENAL PERFORMER.. Just SUPERB.. Beyond Superb.. WOW
This song is perfection. Ever since I heard Shoshana Bean's version months ago, I've been obsessed. I'm so glad they finally made a video showing Lindsey singing this!!!
extraordinary connection to text, and lock into character and narrative. And then...that voice. Thanks for all your hard work training to be able to bring us this gem of a performance Lindsay. love, another performer.
3:42 I live for that moment.
I love you
OMFGGGG PAINT!!! YOU KNOW WHAT DOGFIGHT IS GOB BLESS YOU

Her wiping a tear at the end totally broke my heart. She is incredible. She put so much emotion into the song.
That made me start crying too

She is so underrated, but such an amazing actress. I aspire to be like her one day.

How beautiful her voice is.
And...
HOW CRYSTAL CLEAR THOSE NOTES ARE.

Lyrics
Close the window draw the curtain
Hide of the bright light of the moon
Hang the dresses ugly dresses
No one like maroon
Wipe off all that stupid lipstick
Return the earrings to their case
Make-up wont make any difference
It's still the same old face
Isn't it funny?
Isn't it funny?
Isn't it funny you believed that it was real
*laughs*
Pretty funny
All disasters have an upside
You can find one if you tried
You went dancing, you were dancing, you were dancing with a guy
Isn't it funny?
Isn't it funny?
Aren't you funny?
Pathetically na've and desperate to believe
You can always find some good
Well you misunderstood
Or you've been dreaming
'Cause people are just cruel
Shut the light off turn the bed down
No more crying don't you dare
You'll wake up sometime tomorrow and forget to even care
Isn't it funny?
Isn't it funny?
For a moment he convinced me I could be pretty, funny

This song strongly reminds me of "See I'm Smiling" from The Last Five Years.
I feel like still hurting more
Yeah that’s funny you said that I’m singing this and see I’m smiling for voice lessons right now
One of the best performances,and examples of perfect tone, I have ever heard! I love her!

I searched for "pretty funny" not knowing that my life would be changed by this video
Bravo!!!! This musical is a hidden gem. Anyone up for a revival?

It does not matter how many times I watch this video. It GUTS me every time. There's a difference between singing a song and living it.
Pure emotions and absolutely breathtaking
Ending this video with that single tear drop!? That’s the sweet spot for me
She deserves an award for this “PRODUCTION”. She is amazing. And this song breaks my heart. And she NAILED this song. She’s perfect.
She is so wonderful! There may very well be another Tony on her shelf soon for "Merrily We Roll Along".

Incredibly and painfully perfect.
This is one of the best performances I have EVER seen. Bravo, Miss Mendez.
I just realized that she has the headphones on backwards. If you pause at 3:45, you can see that the cup she is wearing on her left ear is the right cup. It's not really relevant, it's just pretty funny.
I see what you did there...
maybe a stage left stage right thing... lol idk pretty funny

One of the best singers I have heard.
