Lin is so good and you can just tell that he absolutely loves what he does. He’s never in autopilot, really loving and enjoying every minute of it, definitely impact how we connect with his songs.
if you put burn you have to put “who lives, who dies, who tells your story?” it’s such a good connection especially with “i put myself back in the narrative, i stopped wasting time on tears. i live another 50 years. it’s not enough”
Non stop its the song that encapsulade everthing in the musical, is the "one day more" of hamilton -The personality of Alexander Hamilton -His revality with Burr -His relationship with his wife -His friendship with Angelica -The confidence that he had with Gorge W. -And the part with all the songs collapse (Helpless, Satisfied, Alexander Hamilton, That Would Be Enough, My Shot, History Has Its Eyes on You) is pure magic Really Non stop is No 1
How did I not know "Found/Tonight" existed?! I honestly think "Story of Tonigh t" is one of the most underappreciated songs from Hamilton (I mean, there are 46 wonderful tracks to weed through, but still) and I LOVE "You Will Be Found". That one harmony in the video gave me chills.
0:48 -20: It's all happening (Bring it on) 2:16 -19: Found/Tonight (Dear Evan Hansen/Hamilton) 3:27 -18: Burn (Hamilton) 4:54 -17: Alexander Hamilton (Hamilton) 5:57 -16: We know the way (Moana) 7:11 -15: You'll be back (Hamilton) 8:43 -14: Shiny (Moana) 9:43 -13: The Schuyler Sisters (Hamilton) 10:47 -12: Blackout (In the Heights) 11:56 -11: Guns and Ships (Hamilton) 13:15 -10: Bigger (67th Tony Award) 14:33 -9: My shot (Hamilton) 15:40 -8: In the Heights (In the Heights) 16:56 -7: You're Welcome (Moana) 18:09 -6: Satisfied (Hamilton) 19:29 -5: Breathe (In the Heights) 20:48 -4: Yorktown (The world turned upside down) (Hamilton) 22:00 -3: 96,000 (In the Heights) 23:06 -2: How far I'll go (Moana) 24:30 -1: Wait for it (Hamilton)
Do you know that he actually sings back up vocals in one of Moanas songs as well. The one where she takes the boat out and sings 'we know the way' he sung the back up vocals as an example and the Disney producers asked if they could keep the vocals in. 😊
You could literally throw a dart at a list of songs he’s written and all of them are amazing. I’m glad Wait For It is 1, it’s my favorite. I wish It’s Quiet Uptown was listed; Pleasantly surprised that Blackout is listed but I absolutely love the “look at the fireworks” section and the sound of chaos he paints with music. Hurricane could’ve been listed for me; and Sunrise, Everything I Know, When The Sun Goes Down, Room Where It Happens…. Top 30 songs, maybe? Lol
No honorable mentions??? There are plenty of comments from people missing their favorites, and the amount of songs he's written (or co-written) definitely gives enough material for it! My thoughts on the list: - SO glad they included Found/Tonight! I can't listen to that song without putting it on repeat at least 5x. - "Promising effort" when talking about ITH? ...I just... Heights was when many fans found him for the first time, and even knowing how brilliant his other work is, it's still my personal favorite. - Not getting to hear a single line from Benny in all the ITH clips hurt my heart, but I understand. - MY MISSING SONG: *ALABANZA* . One of the single most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard in my life. Spoilers in some lyrics, yes, but not in the chorus. ABUELA CLAUDIA DESERVED BETTER.
I always tend to forget LMM is also behind Bring it On. Blackout is my fave song from In The Heights Movie but best choreo belongs to 96,000 and best cinematography is When the Sun Goes Down "Bigger" should be top 5, "Satisfied" is my fave from Hamilton and I am shocked that it didnt make top 5.
@@youarein1ov3 I was also thinking of Carnival del Barrio but there are points in that number that makes me think that they are just dancing for fun especially hearing how after they said cut they still went on to party and they just continued to film
Personally, i would have loved One Last Time. I think it's fascinating that he used real excerpts from Washington's resignation speech, and the way that Hamilton speaks the lines, indicating he wrote them, while Washington songs them, because he's delivering the speech to the American people. It's utter brilliance!
I always felt like I was the only one who loved & knew how important “Hurricane” is. I’m glad I’m not the only one, it’s such an underrated song it’s incredible!
I TOTALLY agree on wait for it , usually my shot , etc. are at the top of the list but I think wait for it is timeless, beautiful, and Leslie’s performance is out of this world .
Non-stop is just wonderful, suprised its not on this list. It sums up the whole first act (basically) with “Satisfied” “Helpless” “Wait for it” “My shot” “That would he enough” plus introducing us to the second act, Angelica sails to london, the federalist papers are written, and more!
There should have been some honorable mentions.. Like- Who lives who dies who tells your story, Take a break, History has it's eyes on you, That would be enough, one last time, It's quite uptown etc.
I’ve been enjoying Lin’s music since I was 10 in 2016, and I can say I wouldn’t wanna live at any other time! I’m so glad I’m alive to hear such an amazing performer! No one like him lived before, and no one like him will live after. He’s a one time gem, and I’m thankful to get to be here for it! 🥰♥️🤗
Imagine being this level of talented that someone can create a top 20 best songs you wrote but its still not enough because you have sooo many great songs
One song I think should be on this list is Nonstop from Hamilton. Because the song gives all different views of what they are expecting Hamilton to do. All across the board it shows greatness. And how can one person write that many lyrics from the end of that song! All across the board it is a great song and in my opinion deserves to be on this list.
I'm only now learning that Lin wrote Bigger. Holy crap! That's one of my favorite awards show openings ever! Now hearing it with this info, I can hear all of Lin in the lyrics!
Lin is one of the best artists ever in my opinion. He’s so clever and meaningful with his lyrics. And he makes them all so emotional, no matter if it’s really happy, really sad, really exciting etc. He’s always so good at it. So glad I’m getting to grow up when he’s making music.
I love Alexander Hamilton. I really love the bit where Hamilton comes on stage, it goes quieter, the lighting shifts to him and he sings ‘Alexander Hamilton, my name is Alexander Hamilton’. I just love it. The lighting, the way it’s sung, the music everything. Gives me chills.
As much as I love the film "In the Heights," three of my favorite Lin-Manuel Miranda songs of all -- "Sunrise," "Thousands of Stories," and "Everything I Know" -- were cut, and I think to the movie's detriment. These songs deserve to be known.
How in the world did they decide which one make the list? All these songs are AMAZING. Lin is an Oscar away from having an EGOT and I am sure he will have the EGOT in no time.
@@winsuma8253 He won't get an Oscar for In The Heights, None of the songs would qualify for best original song because they were not written for the movie
This list is literally gonna be Hamilton, Moana, and In the Heights with a handful of random songs so they seem “well versed” in Lin Manuel Miranda songs 😂
I knew it, Wait for It would be the number one in this list because it's the most self-reflective song ever written by Lin Manuel Miranda. It's my favorite Broadway song so far 👍
I'm currently obsessed with Hamilton and I can't believe Lin also wrote songs from my favorite Disney movie Moana how can I not love him. Time to what watch In the Height
The most beautiful love duet ever written is "Sunrise" from In the Heights. But, since it was foolishly cut from the movie, nowhere near enough people know about it.
There's something about Lin's music that makes it feel... I don't know the right word. Fresh? Pure? Someone give me a word that describes how great his music is.
he's definitely one of my favourite artists of all time, everything he writes is so amazing and it makes me sad that none of my friends like him as much as i do
Most amazing of all is how through sheer determination, he went from singing like garbage to singing incredibly. Check out his cover of “Gethsemane” and then watch him as Piragua guy. An absolute inspiration.
Fun fact: The Reynolds scandal may have actually been a cover-up for a financial scandal the Hamiltons were in on. Since Hamilton never showed anyone the original copies of Maria Reynolds's letters, and the ones he gave the newspaper were weird in that they correctly spelled really long and complex words but would have things like 'rote' instead of 'wrote' and 'tim' instead of 'time,' leading some historians to think this was Hamilton imagining what an uneducated woman's writing would look like and lots of them sound like some of the few surviving love letters between Hamilton and Eliza. This would also explain why Eliza burned her letters. No one really knows why Eliza burned her letters, but if the above is true... damn, girl!
WHAT? The Room Where It Happens and Non-Stop aren't on this list? Non-Stop, I can kinda understand, but the Room Where It Happens definitely deserved to be on this list.
So thrilled they have Daveed ample footage at his amazing turn as Lafayette! Not to quibble, but it wasn’t the Hamilton craze that brought the cast to the White House: Lin and Alex basically gave them a sneak preview before I think it was even completely finished.

Hi
Also pls don’t delete my comment whoever is doing it. Thx
I wish Carnival de Barrio was on the list, the song is put together amazingly
Of this is update we don't talk about Bruno should be on the list
We are lucky that we are living in Lin Manuel Miranda's era...
Ditto, this is Lin's world, and we're just living in it! 🌍💖
Yep love him
"How lucky we are to be alive rigt now ... "
Personally I don’t like his music style but he has good ideas.
@@trinaq he is a 90's kid after all
Room Where it Happens is so beautifully structured it’s like it’s own mini play
Yea I’m surprised it wasn’t even on the list
Yeah it’s my favorite Hamilton song!
We're going to see Hamilton when it comes to Houston...It is the song I'm most looking forward to.
It's my favorite, I was shocked it didn't make it to the list.
It’s why it’s my favorite Hamilton song
Encanto's music needs to be added, particularly Surface Pressure and We Don't Talk About Bruno
I know, right? These two are just amazing!
Heck yeah! Lin is one of the greats.
Can't forget Waiting on a Miracle!
Tbh i didnt really like the songs from encanto except for we dont talk about bruno and dos orugitas
The video came out long before Encanto did
who lives who dies who tells your story is underrated as hell
Oh yes. And One Last Time!
@@NathalieTaylorsVersion oh definitely One Last Time. I love it!
@@NathalieTaylorsVersion thats my favourite hamilton song apart from wait for it
I would have included Quiet Uptown and Dear Theodosia. Let's face it, the list might as well include every one of his songs.
So true!
I thought the same about Dear Theodosia. I love that song.
Yup
ALL THE HAMILTON SONGS FOR SURE
Stay Alive and It’s Quiet Uptown get me every time. It’s so freakin sad and the way Phillipa and Lin deliver it takes it to another level.
I love "Dear Theodosia"❤️
Lin is really iconic He really bring a lot of musicals to life
this man has more talents in one finger than i have in my entire body.
Was that a reference to something? It sounds familiar
@@rubygracemoseley8144 I think it's Cinderella, the one Lily James starred but correct me if I'm wrong
@Arianna Chen Yes! That’s why it sounds familiar
but same though

Non-Stop nor The Room Where It Happens is on this list 😔
champage needs to be on here
This list sucks
I seriously think non-stop should be on this list, but let’s face it all his songs are amazing.
Non-stop was the song that made me fall in love with him as a composer.
That's my favorite song from Hamilton. "Hamilton wrote the other 51!" is the high point of the show for me.
Non-stop is literally my hype song and I freaking love every song on hamilton.
I absolutely love that song. I played it on repeat the other day. I kept hearing something different. LMM is a genius.
I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE NON-STOP
I'm obsessed with In the heights and Hamilton songs
So are we!
Same!
Same. I've memorized almost all of the songs and english isn't even my first language lol.
@@JulioCesar-xr5vv I’ve memorized all the songs even the ones in Spanish!😂😂
@@selahallan53 I've memorized the song, I just need to learn the dances
It's Quiet Uptown not being on this list renders it invalid.
And shiny being on the list instead... Lol
@@LaurelFuentes Yeah, Quiet Uptown not being here is disappointing but what’s with the Shiny slander?
@@RS-qc4tg Cause it’s the worst song in Moana lmao.
@@_..jolene.._ no that is that first one
agreed but we got 9 songs from the 20 from Hamilton so yeah
It's Quiet Uptown is so moving, it brought Oak to tears.
Lin is so good and you can just tell that he absolutely loves what he does. He’s never in autopilot, really loving and enjoying every minute of it, definitely impact how we connect with his songs.
It's Lin Manuel Miranda's world... We're just living in it...
“Wait for it” gives me instant chills and tears.
Easily one of my favorite songs for the play
So true
Hamilton and In the heights are masterpieces
And both my favorite
@@danceoffice7366 same
and 21 chump street
you are 1000% correct
if you put burn you have to put “who lives, who dies, who tells your story?” it’s such a good connection especially with “i put myself back in the narrative, i stopped wasting time on tears. i live another 50 years. it’s not enough”
That song brings me to tears. It’s a masterpiece.
Non stop its the song that encapsulade everthing in the musical, is the "one day more" of hamilton
-The personality of Alexander Hamilton
-His revality with Burr
-His relationship with his wife
-His friendship with Angelica
-The confidence that he had with Gorge W.
-And the part with all the songs collapse (Helpless, Satisfied, Alexander Hamilton, That Would Be Enough, My Shot, History Has Its Eyes on You) is pure magic
Really Non stop is No 1
Yes, yes, and MORE YES!!!
He’s one of the greatest artists in this generation! His songs are catchy, moving, epic, and clever!
LMM is one Oscars away to be an EGOT. And it's possible.
Omg he’s gonna have two movies eligible for the next Oscars (In the Heights and Little Mermaid). Just has to beat DEH and West Side Story
He’s only one oscars away from a P.E.G.O.T he has a Pulitzer Prize
@@heatherbolen2548 The man seriously has succeeded in everything!?! Holy!!
@@heatherbolen2548 a MacPEGOT even - can't forget the MacArthur genius grant 😂
omg he is just that great
nah “shiny” was not put higher than “burn” LMAO
Exact same thought
Same
I don’t think Shiny should be on the list :S
I personally don’t think “Shiny” is all that good but I know it some peoples personal favorite from that movie.
It could've been higher but afaik WatchMojo doesn't have any crab-youtubers working as their content creators
How did I not know "Found/Tonight" existed?! I honestly think "Story of Tonigh
t" is one of the most underappreciated songs from Hamilton (I mean, there are 46 wonderful tracks to weed through, but still) and I LOVE "You Will Be Found". That one harmony in the video gave me chills.
It’s one of my favorite songs/mashups but no one I know has ever heard it
Something about “we know the way” just hits differently

"Moana" is one of my favourite Disney movies, but Lin's fantastic score really makes the movie, and solidifies it as a classic! ❤️😍
Agreed!! It is such a classic
So true
This is extremely random but I literally come across your comments ALL the time on different videos! So funny honestly haha
Do you know that he actually sings back up vocals in one of Moanas songs as well. The one where she takes the boat out and sings 'we know the way' he sung the back up vocals as an example and the Disney producers asked if they could keep the vocals in. 😊
You could literally throw a dart at a list of songs he’s written and all of them are amazing. I’m glad Wait For It is 1, it’s my favorite. I wish It’s Quiet Uptown was listed; Pleasantly surprised that Blackout is listed but I absolutely love the “look at the fireworks” section and the sound of chaos he paints with music. Hurricane could’ve been listed for me; and Sunrise, Everything I Know, When The Sun Goes Down, Room Where It Happens…. Top 30 songs, maybe? Lol
@Antonio Kambire lol sorry :|
"We Know the Way" is written in Tokelauan, not Samoan. Tokelau may be closer to Samoa, but it's a territory of New Zealand.
Thank you!!!
I was wondering about that. It didn't sound right to me. Thanks for the info!
I’m here to show some love for my favorite song Non-stop.
YESSSSSSSS!!!
This needs updating with how much Lin music we were blessed with in 2021
I’m definitely going with How Far I’ll Go. My favourite Disney song ever. Lin-Manuel Miranda is incredibly talented.
Where is It's Quiet Uptown? The heartbreak in that song and Kelly Clarkson's cover should put that near the top.
No honorable mentions??? There are plenty of comments from people missing their favorites, and the amount of songs he's written (or co-written) definitely gives enough material for it!
My thoughts on the list:
- SO glad they included Found/Tonight! I can't listen to that song without putting it on repeat at least 5x.
- "Promising effort" when talking about ITH? ...I just... Heights was when many fans found him for the first time, and even knowing how brilliant his other work is, it's still my personal favorite.
- Not getting to hear a single line from Benny in all the ITH clips hurt my heart, but I understand.
- MY MISSING SONG: *ALABANZA* . One of the single most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard in my life. Spoilers in some lyrics, yes, but not in the chorus. ABUELA CLAUDIA DESERVED BETTER.
I always tend to forget LMM is also behind Bring it On.
Blackout is my fave song from In The Heights Movie but best choreo belongs to 96,000 and best cinematography is When the Sun Goes Down
"Bigger" should be top 5, "Satisfied" is my fave from Hamilton and I am shocked that it didnt make top 5.
Love blackout, but personally I'm a huge fan of Carnaval Del Barrio. And the movie version of WTSGD was amazing for sure.
@@youarein1ov3 I was also thinking of Carnival del Barrio but there are points in that number that makes me think that they are just dancing for fun especially hearing how after they said cut they still went on to party and they just continued to film
satisfied is too good
like, i remember Lin saying in some podcast “i can get hit by a bus tomorrow, i wrote satisfied”
"Wait for It" is such an amazing song. Gets me choked up every time. Hell, damn near every song Lin writes gets me choked up.
I missed having “Hurricane” on this list! It so sets up how and why Hamilton was so driven as well as his downfall.
Personally, i would have loved One Last Time. I think it's fascinating that he used real excerpts from Washington's resignation speech, and the way that Hamilton speaks the lines, indicating he wrote them, while Washington songs them, because he's delivering the speech to the American people.

I TOTALLY agree on wait for it , usually my shot , etc. are at the top of the list but I think wait for it is timeless, beautiful, and Leslie’s performance is out of this world .
Wait for it is def my top 5 for my favorite Hamilton songs. Besides One last time
Non-stop is just wonderful, suprised its not on this list. It sums up the whole first act (basically) with “Satisfied” “Helpless” “Wait for it” “My shot” “That would he enough” plus introducing us to the second act, Angelica sails to london, the federalist papers are written, and more!
There should have been some honorable mentions..
Like- Who lives who dies who tells your story, Take a break, History has it's eyes on you, That would be enough, one last time, It's quite uptown etc.
So just all Songs?
@@kikismiley11 Basically..Side effect of being a Hamilfan I guess...😅
@@ronitabit yess I feel the same 😅
Very glad to see Wait for It at #1. Lin himself admitted it’s probably the best song he’s ever written.
I’ve been enjoying Lin’s music since I was 10 in 2016, and I can say I wouldn’t wanna live at any other time! I’m so glad I’m alive to hear such an amazing performer! No one like him lived before, and no one like him will live after. He’s a one time gem, and I’m thankful to get to be here for it! 🥰♥️🤗
Hopes "Shiny" made the list...
I am satisfied.
Burn is so powerful I literally start crying the second it starts playing
I was hoping "Paciencia y fe" from In the Heights was gonna be on this list 😭💔
Same. I saw the stage production and Abuela was so fabulous.
Same! Is so powerful
Same!! I cry every time I hear it.
My number 1
SAMEEEE
Imagine being this level of talented that someone can create a top 20 best songs you wrote but its still not enough because you have sooo many great songs
he’s genuinely a musical genius. his songs are so beautifully constructed
Lin is literally so talented! I want him to be the next PEGOT. I really admire his work and want to meet him someday, someday
One song I think should be on this list is Nonstop from Hamilton. Because the song gives all different views of what they are expecting Hamilton to do. All across the board it shows greatness. And how can one person write that many lyrics from the end of that song! All across the board it is a great song and in my opinion deserves to be on this list.
No songs from 21 Chump Street? "What the Heck I Gotta Do" comes to mind
For real, they showed no love to that 15-minute masterpiece!
“Wait for it“ truly deserves the first place🥺❤️
💯 agree with “wait for it” being number one. It’s by far my fav!
I'm only now learning that Lin wrote Bigger. Holy crap! That's one of my favorite awards show openings ever! Now hearing it with this info, I can hear all of Lin in the lyrics!
I'm pretty sure he won an Emmy for it!
The Room Where It Happens doesn't make the list but Shiny does??? I can't take this list seriously but Wait For It is my favorite.
Good list, but I'd add Paciencia y Fe, it's just so rich, heartbreaking, and uplifting all at the same time.
A genius!!! Give this man all the awards he deserve it all of them!!
Wait For It is easily my most listened to Hamilton song.
Lin is one of the best artists ever in my opinion. He’s so clever and meaningful with his lyrics. And he makes them all so emotional, no matter if it’s really happy, really sad, really exciting etc. He’s always so good at it. So glad I’m getting to grow up when he’s making music.
My favorite song of Lin Manuel Miranda’s is definitely “say no to this” I could listen to it a million times!
Yea it’s so great me and my bff are singing it everyday in school..... well good luck only one teacher knows the musical.....
Look around, look around at how lucky we are to be alive at the same time as Lin Manuel Miranda and his work.
The Crab Should Have Been a Perfect Role for David Bowie or Elton John
He was a tribute to David Bowie.
@@darthstarkiller1912 OK. Cool
I don’t understand how nonstop is not on this list
Non stop. The best song in the show and needed to be on the list
I cried so many times during this countdown 😭🥲🥰
Is it lame how my favorite song from Hamilton is Alexander Hamilton because it’s one of the most popular songs and the theme for the musical?
No
No there is a reason its popular. Its great
No?? It’s so epic!!
No it's not . It was the first Hamilton song that I was obsessed. It's such a bop
I love Alexander Hamilton. I really love the bit where Hamilton comes on stage, it goes quieter, the lighting shifts to him and he sings ‘Alexander Hamilton, my name is Alexander Hamilton’. I just love it. The lighting, the way it’s sung, the music everything. Gives me chills.
The first time I saw "Hamilton" (on Disney+ like most people) I was wondering where this musical had been in my life.
Now with Vivo and Encanto added to Lin’s discography…this needs updating!
As much as I love the film "In the Heights," three of my favorite Lin-Manuel Miranda songs of all -- "Sunrise," "Thousands of Stories," and "Everything I Know" -- were cut, and I think to the movie's detriment. These songs deserve to be known.
How in the world did they decide which one make the list? All these songs are AMAZING.
Lin is an Oscar away from having an EGOT and I am sure he will have the EGOT in no time.
Not just an EGOT. He has a Pulitzer and a MacArthur. If he gets an Oscar for In The Heights he’ll have a MacPEGOT!
@@winsuma8253 He won't get an Oscar for In The Heights, None of the songs would qualify for best original song because they were not written for the movie
@@winsuma8253
I have no doubt he will have it soon.
@@fashionablechangeling1988 but encanto will come out this year soooo maybe for that?
@@kikismiley11 It's Disney so there will most likely be a nomination for the Oscar bait song. Hopefully he'll win for that
This list needs to be redone now that we have Encanto
I love that this channel is such a Lin-Manuel stan. We can look forward to the top 30 songs this year. Top 40 in a few years and Top 100 by 2025. 🙂❤️
Wait for it, is by far my favorite song from Hamilton. The first time I heard it chills ran through my entire body. One of Lin’s best works by far.
This list is literally gonna be Hamilton, Moana, and In the Heights with a handful of random songs so they seem “well versed” in Lin Manuel Miranda songs 😂
I knew it, Wait for It would be the number one in this list because it's the most self-reflective song ever written by Lin Manuel Miranda. It's my favorite Broadway song so far 👍
When they pan to the faces of the crowd at the Tony Awards segment everyone is glowing. That was such a great number.
I'm currently obsessed with Hamilton and I can't believe Lin also wrote songs from my favorite Disney movie Moana how can I not love him. Time to what watch In the Height
I'm satisfied that Satisfied is on the list. I never saw the musical, but this song on the mixtape gives me all the feels.
I'm glad "You'll Be Back" is on the list (if a little too low). I'll be back for more videos. Da da da da da da da da da.
And now there are more songs in Encanto. “ We don’t talk about Bruno” would definitely on the list .
You’ll be back is so underrated, I love ittt
Yes Lin deserve a whole lot of videos 😍
I agree completely with 1 and 2. Both amazing songs sung by incredibly talented singers
The most beautiful love duet ever written is "Sunrise" from In the Heights. But, since it was foolishly cut from the movie, nowhere near enough people know about it.
No room where it happens that is a shame. At least wait for it got the attention it deserves
It's the way that Lin is literally transforming music as a form of entertainment. This man is groundbreaking.
There's something about Lin's music that makes it feel... I don't know the right word. Fresh? Pure? Someone give me a word that describes how great his music is.
Bigger was FANTASTIC!!! Lin is a treasure!
He’s writing new songs for the little mermaid live action as well!!
Oh my god. Chloe Bailey is going to be so great singing his music I can't wait 🤤

@@idaf3028 you absolutely right! My bad 🤣
finally somebody gives wait for it the appreciation it deserves
he's definitely one of my favourite artists of all time, everything he writes is so amazing and it makes me sad that none of my friends like him as much as i do
Yes! I am happy to see "Wait For It" as number one. Love love love that song and Leslie Odom Jr.'s performance is OUTSTANDING.
Most amazing of all is how through sheer determination, he went from singing like garbage to singing incredibly. Check out his cover of “Gethsemane” and then watch him as Piragua guy. An absolute inspiration.
I just love this man, Lin Manuel Miranda is so talented that he never disappoints.
Thank you for bringing a legacy and a legend world.
Fun fact: The Reynolds scandal may have actually been a cover-up for a financial scandal the Hamiltons were in on. Since Hamilton never showed anyone the original copies of Maria Reynolds's letters, and the ones he gave the newspaper were weird in that they correctly spelled really long and complex words but would have things like 'rote' instead of 'wrote' and 'tim' instead of 'time,' leading some historians to think this was Hamilton imagining what an uneducated woman's writing would look like and lots of them sound like some of the few surviving love letters between Hamilton and Eliza. This would also explain why Eliza burned her letters.
No one really knows why Eliza burned her letters, but if the above is true... damn, girl!
I'm glad they included We Know The Way, it is criminally underrated.
The Room Where It Happens from Hamilton it's a great song
WHAT? The Room Where It Happens and Non-Stop aren't on this list? Non-Stop, I can kinda understand, but the Room Where It Happens definitely deserved to be on this list.
Love all of Lin’s music 🥰❤️❤️
So thrilled they have Daveed ample footage at his amazing turn as Lafayette! Not to quibble, but it wasn’t the Hamilton craze that brought the cast to the White House: Lin and Alex basically gave them a sneak preview before I think it was even completely finished.
