Wait fuck I was too slow with my entry
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

For Broadway are we able to do musical theatre in general or does it specifically have to be Broadway stuff (like are west end or other musicals fine to choose from too)

And thank you for feedback! I definitely had some flats and need to breathe more and restrict my voice less

Congrats Mina for your victory and everyone else who made it through, and it's a shame to see NPOM leave

You know what? I'm feeling pretty nice <3 Go ahead and feel free to do something from any musical (But it has to be a musical). That was the intent with this category anyways, I just forgot to add that note.

Aw thank you Mina!

Can't wait to listen to all these, and I am very happy flubber picked Chop Suey. I love SOAD, and I kind of thought they were one of those bands that people should just avoid for karaoke until I was pleasantly surprised when somebody did Toxicity and it worked wonderfully.

Also malk, I'm not sure what you mean by this part ("lift"), can you explain?

Eliminate me instead of NPOM. I literally don't know a single Broadway or Musical song. There isn't enough time for me to find something I might enjoy and learn it well enough to do this. If he already knows the genre and has an idea, he'll be more successful.

I will say, there might be some songs that qualify as Broadway/musicals you'd be surprised by. The Little Mermaid, The Lion King and Fiddler on the Roof were all on stage, so you could do Under the Sea, I Just Can't Wait to Be King, Hakuna Matata or If I Were A Rich Man. Mamma Mia used Abba songs, Jersey Boys used Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons songs, Rock of Ages used tons of rock songs...I mean, I don't want to speak for Malkon here, but I do think you probably have more options than you realize.

While I had considered Disney songs, I found the broadway arrangements to be different from the movies. In such a way that I don't know them. I did try to find a song I knew, spent hours last night looking. It's that I literally don't know any song in this genre of music and would not be able to participate to the best of my abilities. Since NPOM said he did, I'd rather concede to him than flake on the round.

There are many different musical and broadway stylings. I would challenge you to try something a little out of your comfort zone T-Bone. I believe there are musicals after anime as well and plenty of off broadway musicals that I think you can find something, plus you have until Saturday to find something.

You removing yourself unfortunately will not bring back an eliminated contestant. But do let me know what you decide either way.

I never did theater or drama in high school but I've always suspected I would have been really good at it. This round is giving me a chance to explore that and I'm loving it.

I tried again and managed to hit the notes but it kind of just sounds like I’m screaming so idt this is the song for me :( I could probably do it if I had more than a week to regain my range, but alas. It could have been an awesome singoff!

I'll probably just submit something off-theme then! Don't think I have a choice here.

While it isn’t my goal to hand hold in these types of things, I did want to share the following article I found that might help some contestants see some different “genres” of musicals that might help :)

I used to be able to hit the high notes in Phantom...when I was ten. #MezzoProblems
