    I always imagined that when people are singing and dancing in musicals they're actually just talking and walking but we (as the viewers) percieve it as musical, when in reality they are just going about their daily lives. I also imagined every solo song was just an inner monologue.

      Lauren Wh That's actually how you ARE meant to view musicals :) Songs are like asides in a Shakespeare play- they aren't actually happening in the reality of the characters' universe, its just a device to communicate their thoughts/emotions to the audience- like a narration. The only songs that are 'real' are in stories where the character wants to be in band or something and other people on stage hear/react to it.....I'll stop being a wet blanket now haha

      birch bark the only reason there was singing and dancing is because the woman with the tumor was hearing everything musically, thats why when she wasn't present they were shown as having normal conversations, but as soon as they entered the room she was in they would be singing.

The families got only some ash. In fact, the doctors often made experiments on alive human beings, only because they were disabled. There was only one problem. The public found out.

    What's so terrible about the idea of everyone having their own musical numbers, but we only see a handful of them? That's no different from the way real life works for all of us: Every "background character" of YOUR story is the star of their own. They have their own loves, conflicts, failures, victories, and reasons to sing, but to you, they're just extras. You already NEVER get to see everybody's songs, so why is it so quickly rejected from the musical theories?

  • @seacrest73
    @seacrest73 10 лет назад +83

    You know what, I kind of agree with the "people in musicals act the way humans were always meant to be". Except we don't make up lyrics on the fly (except in rap battles). Rather than sing through our emotions, our hearts sing with the music we listen to. Don't we all have depression playlists and party playlists and theme songs for all our feelings? In addition, people break into song and dance in real life all the time too. It just looks different. If we break down musicals into their basic foundation, they are nothing more than organized sound and movement. During birthday parties, we break out into the Happy Birthday song. During competitions, we sing "We will, we will, rock you." Famous dances: Hokey pokey, electric slide, macarena, some chicken thing. After a performance, we all simultaneously start to clap and shout (or boo and throw tomatoes). When babies cry, mothers rock them and hum to them and sing a lullaby if they know one. Girls have tons of hand-clapping games accompanied by sing-songy rhymes. And let's not forget the jump-rope rhymes either. Flash mobs are getting more and more popular. The organized motions of graduates walking across the stage, shaking hands, and getting their pictures taken also counts. Church choir anyone? Singing in the shower cliche? Oblivious to our poor singing as we listen to our ipods? Playing music while we do chores? Constantly quoting famous songs? I know I do. (Ex: "oops I did it again" after a goof up) Obviously, my argument is a stretch from what the guy was actually implying, but here's my bottom line. The reason we so readily accept musicals is because they are nothing more than an exaggeration of what we do in real life. In any case, I really liked all these theories about the featured singers/dancers being oppressive dominators, the creme de la creme in a world of mediocre, or just plain crazies.

    @Elder_Keithulhu 6 лет назад +4

    I tend to think of the singing and dancing in musicals like improve work; it is not as spontaneous as the uninitiated might think. Improve is formula built upon formula. Taking it to a really basic level, look at "That's what she said" or "Your mom." These are basic joke structures anyone can use in lots of circumstances. For something more complex and more on topic, look up some musical clips from Whose Line Is It Anyway.
    Musicals tend to have reprises and recurring sequences tying the music together. People don't need to improvise a full song for each scene; everyone knows 5 or 6 basic songs that people do variations on. The dancers know common sequences of dance steps that they can learn like kata in martial arts. The structure of the song tells you when the highs and lows are coming.
    If you imagine a whole society where this is just how people are raised, most people could manage an impromptu song and dance number by the time they are five.

    One of the most common forms of communication was singing. And dancing has been part of the social norm since the start of humankind. What happened is that what had once been commonplace was supplanted with the advent of film and later even more dramatically by television. People who could sing, dance and play musical instruments found themselves in virtual competition with the best in the world in their living rooms and stopped performing by becoming perpetual audiences silhouettes in the darkened rooms of our theater of the mind. That why I play harmonica and can sing Happy Birthday on key. What do you think of that? Though it is hard to dance, sing, and accompany myself on harmonica.

    They are not mentally ill but neither are we. They are an evolutionary divergence, the beginning of a new species if you will. They regularly interbreed with the common population though so they have no momentum for natural selection but it is a mutation. If we watched them breed over time we would likely find a population not only completely obsessed with the idea of singing their feelings but biologically predisposed to this type of behavior perhaps even losing the ability to speak regularly all together. Biodiversity is the barrier to realizing this species but its not like Hitler mind or anything, this is not an inferior or superior theoretical species its just different.

What's scary though is that anyone else on the train instead of looking at him crazily will instead join in with at least his dance routine.

    @robinalonso-desouza7245 8 лет назад +8

    I have my own theory, whenever a song starts, it's all in the lead's head. Not like mentally-ill-in-his-head, but more like everyone composes songs on the fly, all the time, and we just see what it looks like because at that moment, we're looking through the lead's eyes. In "Singin' In The Rain" the song "Make 'Em Laugh" happens through Cosmos' eyes as he tells his friend to cheer up, same with the titular song, the guy who's name I can't remember is just walking home while feeling happy, but in his head, he's doing a huge musical number where he can't shut up about the wheater he's singing in. That rises the question about the part where the cop interrupts him, but he might have just thought that would have been funny.

      Dr Heaven MD I feel like with that specific song (Singing in the Rain) Gene Kelly (the actor) might have actually been singing, like in real life, that’s how happy he was, and why the cop was looking at him so strangely ya know?

    • @theotruby1628
      @theotruby1628 9 лет назад +7

      Each direction in OZ is represented by a color like everything in the east is general blue. The color of the road indicates which direct you want to go. Yellow is the color that represents the west so is you want to head towards the west you take the yellow brick road. The red brick road heads south. There should also be a purple road heading north.

      Sportsman: Lance Armstrong (Cheated by Taking Drugs) to Usane Bolt (Fastest Runner in the World! I think)
