So happy for her

Artists that can't appreciate musicals confuse me deeply, but good on her for pushing through it I guess. What a strong soldier.

Charli feels the same way - and I do, too, as an artist. Suspension of disbelief can only go so far for me with the idea of “something so strong words alone aren’t enough and so you must sing.” I HATE the way musical songs are written. If I have to do a musical - give me a jukebox musical like Mamma Mia. Music on its own is inherently something so strong words alone aren’t enough. So I love a musical where music serves the artistry of music itself, rather than it being a tool to tell a story. Music and the art of its composition is already a story and it doesn’t need to be shoved into a literal space. There’s this weird lack of abstraction I guess. The way music abstracts reality actually makes it more compelling because life IS abstract. So, to me, musicals feel very corny and on-the-nose.

Why do I feel like it’s the worst movie ever

“I really don’t like Adele's music. And don’t judge me; I think it’s an art, I think it’s a craft, I think it’s absolutely phenomenal, it just doesn’t do anything for me. "
