The fledgling Artist

@rochellaine I once did a paper on the history of Italian opera. That was an experience. A lot of the operas were inappropriate for then and for now, yet people keep watching them. My question is, how many people actually understand what’s being sung since it’s in Italian?

I’ll have to check out those links tomorrow.

@seekjustice It was still a…[Read more]

@skredder Well, check these out for Sight&Sound:

Hahaha!  That’s why I’m not sure if I’ll like it.  I like a musical to have a few songs here and there, and a lot of dialogue.  I do like operas, but I prefer musicals to be completely di…[Read more]

@seekjustice Okay. I just love it because it’s absolutely hilarious and ridiculous and the dancing is so precise. I guess I’m not very much into the darker stuff. I’ll take action, but not dark.

@seekjustice Okay, cool! I really love Singin’ in the Rain!

@seekjustice Sorry. That’s all. I’ve only seen the disney animated version of Anastasia and listened to my brother play-by-play as he read The Count of Monte Cristo. I didn’t even know all of those were available as musicals, Anastasia as a musical I knew about.

Wait! Does Singin’ in the Rain count as a musical?

@rochellaine I’ve heard Sight&Sound mentioned on here a few times, but haven’t looked into it.

I only saw Les Mis because a friend dragged me to it. I had no idea it was a musical until after the first song when they wouldn’t stop singing. 🙂

I’m gonna have to go soon.

@skredder Yes, Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables are both very popular. 🙂  I haven’t seen either of them. 😛  My dad tells me Les Mis is very good, (and so does SeekJustice,) but I’ve never had a chance to see it.  I like the older, happy-go-lucky musicals better than those dark, modern musicals though.  SeekJustice really doesn’t like tho…[Read more]

@rochellaine I’ve enjoyed the ones I’ve seen.They’re the more popular ones though. Phantom of the Opera, which I do have the soundtrack for, and Les Mis. I have the soundtrack to Cats for some reason, but I don’t even know what that is about.

And it was a local production of Mary Poppins that I saw live!

@skredder Haha, I can’t believe we haven’t asked you before now. 😮

Which one did you see live?  I think @seekjustice and I have both seen Mary Poppins live, and I’ve seen a few others.

If you enjoy musicals, but don’t watch them, does that mean you listen to soundtracks?  Or just that you like the ones you have seen?

@rochellaine It’s a short story I’m hoping to enter into the storyembers contest. I actually planned it out from start to finish. That feels really weird, but nice at the same time.

I’ve been waiting for someone to ask me this question. I enjoy musicals, but I don’t actually watch them. I’ve seen maybe three in my life. Only one which was live,…[Read more]

@seekjustice Hahaha!  Well, I do wear lipstick on very rare occasions…but, I think I’d have a bit of trouble singing while putting on lipstick!  Yes, I agree that this is the best makeup song ever.  I just realized that right now I’m on my sixth or seventh listen to it today. 😛

@skredder Great!  But, what is it actually that you are wor…[Read more]

@rochellaine Not too bad actually. How’s yours?

@seekjustice Hi! I’m only on for a short while.

@skredder Well met!  How goes the writing?

@rochellaine *waves hand* Ahoy!

@seekjustice Haha!  That’s a funny, and kind of horrible idea. 😮 Thankfully, I don’t wear makeup. (I take forever to get ready anyway, so if I had to put makeup on, I’d never be on time for anything. 😛 )  So does that mean I don’t have to worry that I’ll one day be acting like that awful queen?  But I love the tango beat behind the song, and th…[Read more]

Heyo! Who’s all on right now?

@seekjustice I showed my sister this song a few minutes ago, and we both agreed that the singer is amazing.  I then thought of you, and wondered if you’d like to hear it. 😉 It’s apparently from a 1987 Snow White musical movie, and it’s now near the top of my list of villain songs. 🙂   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5lxNxymO7g

By the way, I’…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Well, I was gone anyway, on my conference call. 🙂  But I’m back now.

Okay, I didn’t have any great desire to see them, so with such a recommendation as that, I guess I don’t need to worry about it.  😛

Sadly, yes.  KP is being abandoned.  Remember when it used to say “Members active in the last 24 hours: 46” or something like tha…[Read more]

@jenwriter17 Okay, well, I haven’t seen Jurassic Park, so I don’t know what levels of scariness that includes. 😛  But I guess that means it won’t be a problem.  And the villain in the ’55 movie isn’t nearly as scary as the one in the Hugh Jackman Broadway version from 1999.  (My sister and I have three different versions of Oklahoma! that we wa…[Read more]
