What Are Your Top 5 Favorite Musical Songs?
Here are mine(in no particular order):
On My Own: Although I’ve haven’t experienced romantic love yet, I adore this song! It’s well orchestrated and sung by Frances Ruffelle, her voice is beautiful.
The Wizard & I: I can relate to Elphaba’s wish to be accepted since I felt that way too. Idina Menzel’s sings amazingly and gets into character so well. I also saw this song performed live and the way it’s done on stage made me like this song more.
Satisfied: Love the blending of rapping and regular singing in this song. It works so well! Renée Elise Goldsberry nails it and made me see Angelica in a different, but good way.
Breathe: I haven’t heard the whole soundtrack yet, but “Breathe” is such a standout to me so far. Again, I relate to Nina’s fear of disappointing her family(I feel that way 24/7). Mandy Gonzalez sings very well and her high notes are delightful to hear. As an Hispanic, I really enjoyed the addition of Spanish.
I Don’t Need Your Love: Izuka Hoyle nails the vulnerability of Catherine Parr’s sad story of losing her love, and her growing confidence in herself later on. The latter part of the song makes me feel so powerful. All the women singing together by the end was so good! Their voices blended so well together.
Way back in 2018, I saved the lyrics “Can't I make you understand? You're having delusions of grandeur,” from Defying Gravity, Wicked, in a Google Doc of all my favorite quotes. However, upon rewatching all the Star Wars movies this year, I realized that I might not be the first person to like the line... looking at you Stephen Schwartz

cold as ice
my name is Eden, the last elf left in galleria. i was left to die just like all the others. only difference is i made it. i was trapped in the ice queens castle to serve her and only her. she gave me one offer that i simply couldn't refuse, and that was that of protecting my family to join along side her. meaning stay and join me or your family dies. i didn't want to do it but to save my family i had no choice. chained to the wall in her dungeon i sit thinking of all those innocent elvens that had to protect there village and couldn't. how am i going to escape? i don't know if i even can. but tonight i must service the ice queen yet again. i'm not sure if being without a mate has caused me to fall for the queen or if it's just my conscience telling me do as she says for me to be able to calculate my fate. ill report back in a few days if im not back soon...tell everyone i fought with everything i had.
