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.

Why Blue is the Real Villain of Blue's Big City Adventure

Okay, so maybe "villain" isn't the right word. Blue is more like the antagonist. This post is about the Blues' Clues & You movie Blue's Big City Adventure. So there will be spoilers. If you have Paramount+, it's only an hour watch. I promise it is worth the watch if you have watched Blue's Clues in any capacity. Blue's Big City Adventure poster If you were born in the 90s or early 2000s like me then you most likely watched the original Blue's Clues show hosted by either Steve (Steve Burns) or Joe (Donovan Patton). I have an older and a younger brother, so I got to experience both. However, MY host was Steve, and I am a Steve fan til the day I die. I have Blue's Clues & You playing in the background as I write this post because I realized I haven't watched a single episode of the new series despite watching the movie 6 times. I cannot stress enough how much I love Blue's new design. She looks so much fluffier. The original Blue...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

That Time Rod Stewart Found Other Ways of Doing Cocaine

Heyo! Happy Monday! This week's That Time... is a doozy. If you're a classic rock fan or a fan of Rod Stewart, you probably know exactly what this post is about. This one is a short one, but an interesting one. So bear with me. Of course need to put a warning about drug use. There are plenty of other posts that you are more than welcome to check out if this isn't your thing. If you are unfamiliar with Rod Stewart, let me introduce you to the ICON! He's a rockstar who also has a few pop bangers. I grew up with his music and can't remember a time in my life without his music. The first song I think of when he pops into my head is "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" . I know it's the most basic song of his, but I have fond memories listening to the song on the radio when I was a kid. He's also dabbled in a few bands, but I am more familiar with his solo work than his bands. Though check out his band, Faces. In 2012, Rod released his autobiography, Rod: The A...
