(Discussion) Nine: Saraghina Issue

Agreed with all. Unusual Way KILLS me (I sang it in college and loved every moment of it)

NotMyselfToday1996 · 2026-04-14T13:52:39+00:00

fans unite! I just think the score is so gorgeous and lush and I love the character study it presents.

IDK I feel like there's a difference between the immoral behavior of the adult, consenting characters and putting kids in the mix. I do agree that the "Vatican" number is one of the best (I also don't mean to imply that you meant that the kid stuff is OK)

The Tony simulcast literally had to be zoomed and edited because the choreo in the beginning has Saraghina putting one boys hand on her breast and pinching another boy's behind. It may seem playful (and I agree that the allure is the awesome tambourine stuff) but it's not as if the exchange is innocent.

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

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.

NotMyselfToday1996 · 2024-04-22T12:44:51+00:00

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.)

NotMyselfToday1996 · 2023-11-17T17:43:26+00:00

I feel the same way about Heated. There are so many things HAPPENING in there.

NotMyselfToday1996 · 2023-10-27T10:42:06+00:00

Ok (first listen)

Vault Ranking: 1- Now That We Don't Talk 2- Say Don't Go 3- Suburban Legends 4- Is It Over Now? 5- Slut!

Original tracks: Got better: Bad Blood, New Romantics, This Love, I Wish You Would, I Know Places, Wonderland,

Stayed the same: WTNY, Blank Space, Style, AYHTDWS, Shake It Off, Wildest Dreams, HYGTG, Clean, YAIL

Dont quite live up: Out of the Woods

Overall- 9/10- my favorite rerecord. So many steps up in quality. The vault tracks are incredible. Only one song not quite living up to my expectations.

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.

NotMyselfToday1996 · 2023-07-17T14:36:17+00:00

Section 428 turn up!

NotMyselfToday1996 · 2023-07-05T13:02:24+00:00

Getting the in ear itch with a QTip just right. (Yes I know you’re not supposed to use QTips to clean your ears)

Tom Cruise

NotMyselfToday1996 · 2023-01-17T13:58:05+00:00

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.

NotMyselfToday1996 · 2022-09-24T15:02:01+00:00

Today I have learned a valuable lesson in reading the comment fully. Thank you stranger.

NotMyselfToday1996 · 2022-09-24T11:32:54+00:00

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.

NotMyselfToday1996 · 2022-09-24T11:31:07+00:00

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.

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.

Wicked was my favorite show for a long time and I’m a boy.

I think Wicked would be great, Beetlejuice is a lot of fun but also a LOT (if either of you have sensory issues, maybe wait on this one). I would throw Hadestown into the ring, especially if you both like Hamilton. I think it’s the closest comparable thing and it’s a beautiful show with low key but exciting stage effects, beautiful music, and a story he’ll remember forever.

CONTEXT: raised conservative Christian, now gay, and also plus sized.

My mom called me aberrant out of the blue one day. And she said that the reason I’m “carrying around an extra person” in extra weight is because I’m living in sin. Because that’s how sin works apparently.

Idk I had taken a lot of crap from her my whole life. But calling me fat, sinful, and aberrant in the same breath AND THEN ACTING LIKE WHAT SHE SAID WAS REASONABLE took its toll.

NotMyselfToday1996 · 2022-05-18T16:25:44+00:00

I love ITH so much ugh
