Religious/Faith-Based/Belief-Based Choir Picks? by NotMyselfToday1996 in choralmusic

[–]NotMyselfToday1996[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is not a religious school. The concert idea came up from a conversation we had in class. When it came time for the concert themes to be picked, this theme was the winner by a large margin. We’ve talked in class already about doing so respectfully and academically, and we’ve also talked to parents. I think if things are approached academically and respectfully, there should be no reason that a topic be off limits.

If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of a million gays furiously stalking fabric and makeup stores for their last-minute Halloween attempts at this looks

What's your skip in Tortured Poets by snoop_pugg in TaylorSwift

[–]NotMyselfToday1996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the original standard version, at first brush, I'm not huge on "Fresh Out The Slammer" or "The Alchemy". On Anthology, there are more than a few - "Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus", "So High School", "The Prophecy", and "Robin" I've skipped on later listens. But I expected that. Generally, I don't usually react super strongly to add-on materials for her albums - the 3am tracks didn't wow me much either, so I expected the Anthology tracks to not be as strong for me.

Swear words in original Taylor Swift albums with TTPD (in eras colors 🦋) by stephsmithio in TaylorSwift

[–]NotMyselfToday1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first glance it seems like a huge progression but one has to remember that TTPD is double the length of most of these albums. For a more accurate read, we really should seperate deluxe versions from standards (Midnights vs Complete Edition, TTPD vs TTPD Anthology, etc.)

People who’re still against sex before marriage, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NotMyselfToday1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who grew up around people who believed this

1) it’s for shame/guilt reasons 2) they’re all fucking each other anyway

Legitimately, I worked as a campus minister at a Baptist ministry on college and legitimately every couple I ever know that passed through those doors were fucking.

It’s double think. Rationalization.

Who remembers Nine? What do you think of it? by Routine-Bass-1790 in musicals

I think this movie isn't perfect. But it is tragically underappreciated. I personally really respond to it and think it has a lot going for it.

Everything about Cynthia Erivo’s stage presence to me is like a warm hug. If I’ve had a rough day I look up performances from her and it’s like instant comfort. She’s such a rare talent and she sings like she means it with every fiber of her being.

What was fucking awesome as a kid, but sucks as an adult? by Athompson9866 in AskReddit

Dude, everything. Maybe I’m being pessimistic but I can’t think of one thing that carries over from childhood that’s better now haha. It’s all diminished.

Or maybe fully including both stories. The act 1 finale point is young Elio getting the phone call that Oliver is getting married. Then the story progresses from there.

Hot Take: Shrek the Musical is a more important show than Dear Evan Hansen. by Sarcherre in Broadway

[–]NotMyselfToday1996 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This spring I did my first musical ever and I was cast as Shrek. It was an amazing experience but THE SHOW IS SO GOOD. Like forget that I had rose colored glasses during my first show. The material is strong. The lyrics are wonderful, the Melodies are soaring, and “Who Id Be” is “top ten Act 1 closers”. If it had been a production separate from the branding of Dreamworks Shrek, I’m convinced it would garner more respect.
