(no subject)
I've been humming Neverending Story for a while now.
Rocketman
Rocketman was the musical Bohemian Rhapsody was too lazy to be. Taron Egerton was a revelation as Elton John, and if Rami Malek won for that travesty of a performance, Taron should at least get a nomination.
The Greatest Showman
Caught The Greatest Showman on cable. I'm now obsessed with the soundtrack.
Never enough, never enough
For me, for may......!

Mamma Mia, Here We Go Again
It's a cute but unnecessary sequel. The new cast is game and kinda great but it's a cute,unnecessary sequel. Although I would like to thank it for introducing me to Josh Dylan, who is oddly attractive as Young Bill and should always be shirtless, forever.
p.s. The younger versions of the guys can sing, so what happened between the intervening years?

Congrats, Ben Platt!
In honor of Ben Platt winning Best Lead Actor in a Musical, here is Waving Through a Window:
Ben Platt - For Forever (from Dear Evan Hansen)
I didn't know the story of Dear Evan Hansen before I heard this (Thank you, Stephen Colbert!) so listening to this song I thought Evan had a crush on whoever the friend he's talking about. I totally relate but Google tells me I'm wrong and it's about Evan lying about being friends with another character (Whatever, it still sounds like an unrequited love song to me, like On My Own). I desperately want to watch Ben Platt in Dear Evan Hansen.
What, I'm not crying; you're crying.
Telepathy by Christina Aguilera
I was obsessed with this song even before I started watching The Get Down (which is also great). Discofabulous.
Aaron Tveit & Gavin Creel sing Take Me or Leave Me
This was hot. Throughout the song, I was hoping that they would kiss.
Adele with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots
I love Adele and I loved this segment on JF every time they feature it on the show:
Hello by Adele
The first I watched/listened to this, I was all ambivalent about it until she got to the chorus. Then a million FEELS. I haven't had an intense breakup in years but this song surprised me because it just excavated all these memories and feelings from that time.
Such a goddess, Adele.
Into The Woods
They've been showing Into The Woods for the past month on cable. I still think that the best thing about the musical (live theater & movie) is the Princes' song, Agony (and Billy Magnussen in tight leather pants).
Lizzie McGaga
I was channel-surfing and I came upon The Lizzie McGuire Movie and there's this fashion montage...now, I know where Lady Gaga got some of her inspiration from.
