Enough time has passed...

...the reason HARLEQUIN exists is because, despite all her best efforts to encourage Joaquin to sing live, when she heard those final tracks she was like 

Listen, nothing against him & I've loved their friendship throughout the JFAD press tour, but I had super high expectations 

Also, I know Arthur Fleck is not supposed to be a singer but some of those numbers were a STRUGGLE

Thanks Mother Monster for coming thru

Joaquin Firebird still sounded better than me singing in the shower

yeah but its nonsensical in terms of making a viewer-friendly product to not at least have him sing super well in the dream sequences... why bother making a musical if nobody is going to actually SING?

gaga took one listen of that soundtrack and thought "im not letting anybody walk out believing thats the best i can do"

I couldn't stop myself from laughing in the theatre a few times during his singing.

My first viewing I was like omg this is not the way to have non-musical people appreciate a musical  

I love all kinds of musicals but even I cringed! Plus his numbers were longer than Gaga's I couldn't believe!!

Trying to decide which was more cringe between For Once In My Life and Gonna Build A Mountain (Reprise)... where was the vocal coach smh

Second viewing though I was vibing

I mean.. The Joker is a persona, he was singing as The Joker and it fit what they were doing with this whole project. Joaquin doesn't sing that bad, he did some  Johnny Cash songs with Reese Witherspoon for that movie and it's amazing and love it so much.

He sounded very good tbh, If you go away, I needed Gaga’s version tho

I’m not exactly sure why Harlequin was made, but it’s really been on replay for me since it came out. I’m just glad we have it.
