Hello my fellow sistrens :kara: .

Don't come for me, let me explain :vegas: .

As I'm writing this I'm watching ASIB for the gazillionth time and something came to my mind: Why is Shallow the signature song? Yes, it's a pretty good song and really powerful. But technically it was ARUTW what made Ally's breakthrough and not Shallow so it makes ARUTW waaaayyyy more important imho.

Was it just bc ASIB was promoted with it or doesn't the GP recognize talent this way? :oprah:

Ew, David!

But shallow made her go viral on the internet did you forget? :trollga:  (in the movie) 

Also I think the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA part just shook the GP when they heard it in the trailer so everyone waited for the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa song

Shallow is performed like 4 times and tells a story very similar to the one lived by Jackson and Ally. Plus, it's performed by the two title characters, and its creation symbolizes the bond they have (Ally composing it and Jackson arranging a live version). 

ARUTW on the other hand...has neither of those things :poot: it's a great song, but from a story point of view, it only symbolizes a breakthrough, but it leaves behind the connection and affection Jackson and Ally have. It's about love ofc, but Shallow is more meaningful in that regard. ARUTW it's about feelings, while Shallow is about the future promises.

Because the end of the movie was going to be Jackson drowning, but at the last stages of the movie they changed the final part, but the song was too powerful to letting it go.

Aaaaand this as well:

No shade, just really wanted to quote Rugrats.
