My Reaction to Panic! at the Disco's cover of "The Greatest Show"

This blog is going to end up being me reacting to everything Panic! at the Disco does.

But recently, Panic! at the Disco's cover of "The Greatest Show" for The Greatest Showman: Reimagined has come out for public consumption. I mistakenly thought the whole album was out, but it's not so I'm only reacting to Panic!'s cover. Please keep in mind that I am writing this Nov 2. So the album might already be out when this post goes live.

First of all, I had to pause it eight times in the beginning because Brendon Urie's voice destroyed my soul as it always does and my little fangirl heart couldn't handle it.

I absolutely love this cover. Now, I am someone who is not the biggest fan of song covers, but I was genuinely excited for The Greatest Showman: Reimagined because a lot of the people on the album are people I love and admire.

Brendon's voice. HIS VOICE! It's so good. It's always good. But BOY I wasn't ready. I don't think they could have chosen a better artist to cover this song from the movie musical. I don't think I can ever imagine anyone else doing a better job.

I know there are talks of The Greatest Showman moving to Broadway and if it does I want Brendon to be considered for the role of Barnum. If we thought Hugh Jackman was good, imagine Brendon.
We've already seen him in the red ringmaster's jacket.
If you haven't heard the song yet, it's inserted above and I'll link it on Spotify here.

I love this cover with all my soul and every atom of my existence. In the beginning when Brendon's voice is low and isolated. That kills me every time. He brings so much energy to the song. I. honestly, love this cover more than the original. Sorry, Jackman, but Brendon wins every time. Well, except for the "Hey Ya! cover, but that's for another post.

This just made me fall in love with Brendon's voice all over again. It reminded me of sitting in the back seat of my dad's blue Honda Civic and listening to "I Write Sings Not Tragedies" for the first time.

I just love Panic! at the Disco so much. And I love Brendon's voice. I don't even think I did a good job reacting to the song in this post, but I wanted to write about it.

I am only a bit bummed that Dallon isn't in the show anymore so we can't hear his backing vocals, but it's still great.

Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are Basically the Same Person

I, a 21-year-old adult, is still a HUGE fan of the High School Musical franchise. In high school, had I been a better planner, I would have asked Lucas Grabeel to be my prom date. And even though I was older than most viewers, I did love Teen Beach Movie when it came out. In this post, I am going to explain how Zac Efron and Garrett Clayton are basically the same person. Let's start at the beginning. You may know Zac Efron as Troy Bolton in the Disney Channel Original Movie (or DCOM), High School Musical and it's franchise. He is the attractive blue-eyed, protagonist of all three HSM movies. And I will admit that I was a huge fangirl for him in my youth. Honestly, now I can't stand him. But that's for another post. Zac portrayed Troy in all three HSM films, but he only sang in the last two. That's right. Zac Efron did not sing in the first HSM movie. That was the amazingly talented Drew Seeley whom I will love till the day I die. Similarly, Garrett Clayton pl

Is Marvin from Falsettos Abusive? And Why is He Such an Easy Character to Hate?

Is Marvin abusive? Short answer: yes. Long answer: You've come to the right place. "I love my tight-knit family. I love the way they cook linguine." Let's get this out of the way, this blog, as all of my blog posts are, is 100% my opinion. Unless stated directly that it is fact, this is all what's going on in my mind. Thoughts from a fangirl, if you will. Also I have to use Spotify to link the songs, because the entire 2016 revival cast album is not on YouTube and I know the revival album better than the original albums. Also this post is going to be long because I'm actually going through actual lines from the musical. I am going to try to sprinkle some photos into this post. "Lovers come and lovers go." Listen to "Marvin Hits Trina" on Spotify. Let's start with the most obvious: Marvin hits Trina after learning that she's going to marry Mendel. Where can you find this scene? In "Marvin Hits Trina". It'

That Time A President Conducted Meetings from the Toilet

Happy Monday! Another week ahead. This week's weird moment from history is how President Lyndon B. Johnson conducted meetings and interviews while on the toilet. I learned way too much about LBJ while doing research for this post and it is going to be a LONG time before I write another weird history post about him. But there will be at least another one in the future. Man was weird. Quick history lesson for my non-Americans who may not know who LBJ is. Lyndon Baines Johnson was the 36th President of the United States. He assumed the position following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He was president from 1963 til 1969. NOW if you're like me and you grew up with the rewatching the movie Forrest Gump over and over again your first introduction to LBJ might be when Forrest was being honored with the Medal of Honor and showed the president where he was "shot in the buttocks" during the Vietnam War.  I haven't watched Forrest Gump in years, but if you haven't
