Shiny was the best song


Who agrees with me?

reply

I really dislike Miranda's songs, which seem to involve characters talking over music rather than singing.

We Know the Way was excellent though.

reply

Just curious- do you hate My Fair Lady too then?

reply

"I Am Moana" was my personal favorite.

reply

That's entertaining, even if it tries to delude Moana & Maui. There's a honest effort of originality here. I like all the soundtrack, even not a Mark Mancina fan, and Lin-Manuel Miranda meant nothing to me before. 

It's not my favorite song, but it is the best song. The lyrics, arrangement, and performance were perfect.

It was like flight of the conchords all over again!

I didn't care for Shiny. The vocals sounded like a really really really rough demo for the song. Some of it felt out of time. I get it, it's trying to be glam or Bowie-esque. But where as glam can be loose, they make up for it in attitude and cool. To me this felt like someone doing a bad imitation of a poor cariacture of Bowie.

No, not at all but it was still good an entertaining, especially because it was Jermaine Clement
