THIS IS THE DAY WHERE I SHARE MY SPECIAL PLAYLIST!

But this is kind of a review as well.

Code of why it's on my list:
M : mood
V : voice
L : lyrics
R : Just 'cause/other reason

Brand New You - 13 OBCR

M

This is the song that we did in our dance class. So it makes me kind of want to dance and die. At the same time.

13/Becoming a Man - 13 OBCR

M/R

There's some parts in this that are fun and danceable and then there's more parts that annoy me.

What it Means to Be a Friend - 13 OBCR

M/R/V

This song really should be for when I need to "be sick" before gym class. But it also puts me in a hateful mood that really works for tests.

Lamest Place in the World - 13 OBCR

M/R/V/L

Same as the above song. Although the lyrics kind of make me compare it to my town.

If You Were Gay - Avenue Q

It's got the most wonderful, most infectious beat. It's perfect.

It gets me kind of emotional and it's more relaxing than some of the others.

Day 50-1/8/10

Show: Bare
Date: 2000
Cast: Not sure. It's on wikipedia.
Type: Sounboard

This was alright to listen to, and really fine. But I hate not knowing the right lyrics, it’s very disappointing. Also, I gotta say that I like the vocals on the CD a hell of a lot more. Oh, also it drives me insane that I don’t understand all of the catholic stuff…what’s the deal with Mary? I don’t get it.

Day 23-12/12/09

STILL MY BIRTHDAAAAYYY!

Show: Bare (2007 Official Recording)
Cast: Idk...The one with Matt Doyle :)
Date: 2007
Type: Audio, unfortunately.

Matt melts my heart from the very beginning in Epiphany. His voice is soooo sweet.
I love You and I. It makes me happy, and my heart gets all gooey.
Role of a Lifetime is pretty much just orgasmic. I seriously want to drift away.
I'm having too much fun to say anything more. But Matt's killing me here. and One just ended.
Matt absolutely slayed me in Absolution. Like seriously, call 911. I think I'm dead. Either that or they just found that I actually have a heart.

As I said in my facebook:

At the beginning of the CD I was in love, by the end I was dead. I'm like the main character!

Fun times!

Day 5-11/24/09

Show: Bare
Date: 5/3/04
Type: Audio
Cast: Michael Arden, John Hill, Jenna Leigh Green, Natalie Joy Johnson, Aaron Lohr, Adam Flemming, Jim Price, Kaitlin Hopkins, Kearran Giovanni, Mike Cannon, Lindsay Scott, Kay Trinidad

This review is a little more general than my others have been because I was listening during my commute and lunch break and was not taking notes.
One thing I noticed was there were some songs that I liked better in this version than the CD. For instance You and I was definitely better here. I also liked Love Dad. Not more than I liked Plain Jane Fat Ass, both songs are quite different in the message. I did not like Wedding Bells more though, I thought the ending sounded so strange. But I seriously did not know that there were different lyrics to Bare! I thought they were the same as the CD! I was so confused when I was listening.
The singing overall is better on the CD I think, even the people in both sounded better on the CD. I know people rave about Michael Arden, but I thought he wasn't all that spectacular. His voice sounded kind of...chokey? Know what I mean? Maybe not. Sometimes his voice sounded really smooth and nice, but other times (most times) not so much. Also sometimes he sounded a little too operatic. Yeah, it's technically opera, but still. Same goes for Aaron Lohr, he also sounded too old for the role. Well they all did, not my point.
Like I said, Jenna Leigh Green sounded better on the CD in some parts like One Kiss, One, and Portrait of a Girl. But she was very strong in All Grown Up.
One thing I noticed was Peter and Jason are both more likeable on the CD, I know that's hard to imagine that Jason could be less likeable. But here he sounded like such a jerk in Touch My Soul because Ivy is literally begging him and he's just dumping her.
I also liked the chemistry better on the CD. Isn't it kind of weird that I like chemistry that was separate than actually together?
I quite liked Natalie Joy Johnson as Nadia, partly because I think she plays it much more sensitive than I found Keili.

In all I found this satisfactory.

See you tomorrow with Bye Bye Birdie!
