^ wall in my head ^
rating: i literally have no fucking clue but im thinking 6 or 7 or at most, 7.5?
6 is over average so it's not bad btw
i really don't know how to feel?
ok let me try to organize my thoughts
incredible story. absolutely in LOVE with the choreography.
but while the story and the dialogue are impressive and funny and touching (and totally didn't make me cry watching the bootleg at 3 am)
the music isn't
that good?
don't get me wrong, it's not the worst music ive ever heard. it's fun, it's poppy, but it's so
meh...?
i do love some songs
i think that i like wall in my head? but the lyrics could have been so much better
that's the thing with nearly all of these songs -- the lyrics.
it all sounds really beginner level but i can still bop my a s s to it
this is why it's so hard for me to rate it
it wins me over with its jokes and storyline but i don't enjoy the music
and it's a musical so
idk
help me form an opinion, im unsure.
im totally into the idea of modern music woven into the world of classic musical theatre but etaj doesn't do it well
it sounds like the pop music on the radio, and that's not completely a bad thing, but it just isn't my cup of tea
i like a lot of the modern little things in it but some of it is underwhelming? one of the songs (don't remember what it's called) that's either the end or near the end
it's just not great? for an ending? bc im pretty sure it was the part connected to the ending or the actual ending
but! it's super quotable and emotional and hilarious and i love the cool things they do with the screen in the background

favorite ship:
i would say jamie x dean? i mean, the prom scene was the start of a dean redemption arc, but i feel like in the future, after high school and dean fixes things up, they'd be pretty cute together
would recommend, but it's not a favorite of mine
