saw this from @random-nerd-3 and thought WHY NOT
EDITED AFTER THE FINALE AND FOUR DAYS OF NON STOP LISTENING TO THE SOUNDTRACK IN MY CAR
1. If I can't love her
Give Roman all the solos please. Been screaming this at all hours in my car. 1000/10
2. Home (Ashlyn's version)
After many a listen, this song has jumped up like eight positions. MUSICALS SONGS ARE THE BEST SONGS!!!!!!!!!!
4. Belle
Still one of my favorite songs in the entire hsmtmts soundtrack so far
5. The mob song
Honestly I didn't expect it but it's a real bop?
6. Gaston
I knew they would kill it. More Matt Cornett singing in his key please???
7. You ain't seen nothing
Listen I don't know how it made it up so far. I didn't like the song in the episode. I still think it suffers from the same problem as most of the songs in this soundtrack - the base is toooooo much. And yet?? I keep looking for it when I'm in shuffle mode?? Ultimately a bop. I'd love to see them perform a REAL number on this.
8. The Rose Song
This song makes me ANGRY. Because it's a GREAT song when I think of it as an Olivia Rodrigo song, but within the context of the show? MEH. It was jammed into a narrative that didn't really make sense. But I definitely turn up the volume for this one.
9. In a Heartbeat
I LOVE THIS SONG. IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY. The melody isn't really my style but what a cute song this one is.
10. The climb
It doesn't really fit the show like the episode it's sung in but Joe is just too good and I love it?
11. Second Chance
Very very nice song. Might climb the ranks in time, we'll see.
12. A Dancer's Heart
I love returning to this one
13. Something in the Air
I just love big splashy numbers
14. Red Means Love
Nothing to say on this one except that it aged better than I expected.
15. Beauty and the Beast
It would have been higher up in the tier had it not been such a low-key moment for a song that should have been the NUMBER ONE
16. Let You Go
A good song - it makes me very sad. Therefore I tend to skip it.
17. HSM 2 Medley
I think this version of You Are The Music In Me might be better than the original
18. Be our Guest
This one felt like well done homework. Cute, but not exactly special. Not a skip, but also not my first, or second, or third choice. The definition of DESERVED BETTER
19. Something there
I can't believe they didn't use it better within the show. Same as Be Our Guest for me
20. Granted
A tune that didn't make the final cut for Sour
21. Home (Lily's version)
Nothing wrong with this one tbh. It's just that... after Julia Lester's.... was it really necessary?
22. Even When/The Best Part | Even When | The Best Part
Guitar/ukulele Ricky and Nini songs are a bit of a been-there-done-that for me
23. The Perfect Gift
... a little boring don't hate me
24. Around you
It would have been a lot higher up if the base hadn't been so terrible.
25. YAC Alma Mater
Does it even count as a song?
43. Bet On It
just erase it from my memory
