Gotta appreciate the commentary on selling out here. While she’s becoming a stripper which is generally considered a degrading job, she’s actually just stepping up from staff to star. She’s got more control of her image and future as a stripper than he does selling out for fame. In the end she’s being truer to rock here than he is, who’s demoted to being something he’s not.
@@Movierealzster1 Isn't there a scene where they're comparing miseries and she says that she's a pole dancer in a cheap night club and then he says "I'm in a boy band." "You win"
@@Movierealzster1 The point was that he "won" in the degrading job department as they both agreed being in a boy band was far worse than being a pole dancer.
@@Movierealzster1 I think maybe any job is just as degrading as an individual feels it to be. I've worked in fast food, and to be quite honest I'd rather be in a boy band. Though I am not a boy, so I don't think I'd qualify.
@@Movierealzster1 The film does not do that, it is a thought that comes from the character and from how she sees it, there is more than a scene in which the two (Mary J. Blige and Julianne Hough) before the staging of "Anyway you want it " they talk about that same job and how the character of Julianne Hough sees it as something degrading and the character of Mary J. Blige says" The stage is a pedestal, when you are up there you are untouchable and when you are up there you can have it all "after that phrase begins the staging of the song Bearing in mind that the song talks about a girl who gets what she wants when she sets her mind on it while still being herself (The descriptions of her attitude and the chorus "Anyway you want it that's the way you you need it ") and dualism, that is, his scenes show that, while she finds a way to empower herself and be herself, controlling her image as she wishes on his side, he has to renounce who he is To achieve his dream, that's why in the scene they compare their miseries because for her despite everything it is still a job that is seen badly socially and that she sees it in the same way
Imo, they both show things the MC's don't really want to do, however where with the girl the decision is hers, they show her dressing herself, walking towards the stage, showing her determination. The boy on the other hand is put through it, getting dressed by others, crying when he thinks they are taking away pieces of his personality to fit a cookie cutter image. The boy thought he would enter a dream, and it is not what he thinks it is, and the girl reconsiders something she's realized is not as bad as she had thought, though she never really wanted it. It is really clever how they made this sequence.
Yup, he got a vocal coach and everything so he got could train and sing for real. Mad respect to him for doing that because I know plenty of other actors would've just lip synced
The "Heel Clap" is the greatest contribution to music since the 80's. Super smart idea..... how every Strip Club in America is not doing this song at least once a night just baffles me.
Speaking out of curiosity ... what got u into pole dancing? Did you ever feel like p you were being judged or that pole dancers have a bad image that’s filled with lots of prejudices?
Constantine, best cameo ever. Mary and Julianne, beautifully killing the vocals. Mia, those stilettos. Just such a small thing, those shoe clicks, but it makes the number.
This movie was so fun! The talent is unbelievable and when I found out Mary J. Bilge was singing I was hooked! Mary you are one classy lady! I absolutely LOVE your voice!
I’m hoping that in my lifetime we can see more of this kind of genre bending stuff. Mary J. Bilge covering Journey is just god level stuff. Amazing concept, masterful execution. I’d listen to a whole album on this, on repeat, in a heartbeat. This was so excellent.
Not just vocals, also as a character. She clearly respects the girls she hires. She tells Sherri the fastest way she’ll earn the money she needs is by dancing but at he same time acts like “I won’t force you to do anything you’re not comfortable with yet”. There was that scene in shadows of the night where a customer grabbed Sherri’s butt and she splashed a drink at him. Most employers would fire people on the spot for something like that
When a customer complains about service and wants to speak to the manger... all of a sudden employees burst into this song, and are appearing out of nowhere...that would be epic
It’s truly great to see Hollywood take songs that I love, songs I have such a connection with, songs that really helped me become the person I am today and do something truly creative and great with them. It’s the little things like the heel clicks, the mash-ups and the stunning vocals of Julianne and Mary that make this movie something I will treasure forever. I will 1000% show this to my kids one day and they will know what real music is. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
It's been a musical for many years! In fact the music executive that stands up and says does he rap, is the original stage drew. He's called Constantine maroulis. I've seen it twice in the UK, last time just a couple of weeks ago and it's a phenomenal show, slightly different storyline but my favourite musical EVER!
It's about keeping and maintaining your dignity. She did, he didn't. It's usually thought that sex workers are the lowest of the low. Quite a few of them are very bright individuals who life dealt a bad hand to, and they're just trying to survive. I don't want to just say strippers, I'm not wanting to put any labels on anyone.
Me forgetting this movie even existed.Now finna be 17 years old will never forget when I first watched this movie back in 2017.I understand this movie now but as a 7th grader I thought they were just drunk and dancing.Iconic scene ever.

1:05 "Rock is dead but the pop thing's hot" - proceeds to sing rock 😂 then asks if he raps 🤦♂️ this is why the music world is so lost when it comes to rock/metal, thinking it only needs to be rap or pop now, where the real music is with the metal heads and rock bands

one of my favorite dance sequences in any movie, ever.

I also heard that Tom Cruise didn’t want to lip sync because he wanted it to look authentic so he actually sang. Homeboy’s got some pipes. 😂
He learnt how to sing just did the film

The high pitch "any way" notes from both singers were my favorite part.
blessethishe I know what you mean
The choreography is stunning in this scene!
For some reason, the heel clapping and tapping the pole is really awesome!
As a pole dancer, I say hell yes! Lol
Speaking out of curiosity ... what got u into pole dancing? Did you ever feel like p you were being judged or that pole dancers have a bad image that’s filled with lots of prejudices?
Everytime I hear this song or pour some sugar on me I want to climb up a pole and start dancing, think I need to learn how to pole dance
6 year later, you are right;-)
Ma’am you deserve my respect
@@nicholc7300 bruh yes😂😂
Constantine, best cameo ever.
Mary and Julianne, beautifully killing the vocals.
Mia, those stilettos. Just such a small thing, those shoe clicks, but it makes the number.
The simultaneous coordinated bounce up & down on the stage was fire ...
Moral of the song : dancing pays better.
This movie was so fun! The talent is unbelievable and when I found out Mary J. Bilge was singing I was hooked! Mary you are one classy lady! I absolutely LOVE your voice!
If and when I get a pole this will be my first pole song I’m determined
The heel clicks on the pole are my favorite part!!
I’m hoping that in my lifetime we can see more of this kind of genre bending stuff. Mary J. Bilge covering Journey is just god level stuff. Amazing concept, masterful execution. I’d listen to a whole album on this, on repeat, in a heartbeat. This was so excellent.
Its like watching Glee on stereoids.
😄😄
Rodrigo Lopez Yup
but better
he kinda looks like elvis with the haircut
BUT WAYYYYYYYY BETTERRRRRRR
I always found it funny how when one person started to sing everyone just happened to know the choreography
It’s almost like they read the script 😂
Mary J Blige was the best thing about this movie! Love to see her doing covers of all the songs 😍
Not just vocals, also as a character. She clearly respects the girls she hires. She tells Sherri the fastest way she’ll earn the money she needs is by dancing but at he same time acts like “I won’t force you to do anything you’re not comfortable with yet”. There was that scene in shadows of the night where a customer grabbed Sherri’s butt and she splashed a drink at him. Most employers would fire people on the spot for something like that
the almost tribal induction they do to Sherrie when she walks up is just 🔥 as well as the vocals of course but damn the dancing ❤
The female stripper version of the song is my LIFE
Rose Traverso I know!!!
When a customer complains about service and wants to speak to the manger...
all of a sudden employees burst into this song, and are appearing out of nowhere...that would be epic
This whole sequence is a fucking blast and you can't change my mind
i'll never be able to think of this song the same way again.
wingedguardian really?
@@Danidiva21 yeah i'll be imagining a bunch of pole dancers dancing lol, nice dance scene though
wingedguardian Lol nice
0:12 Real attention to detail with the sounds of the girls heels clicking and customers flapping paper money against the stages!
👍🏻
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the guy singing at 1:09 like dear god that man has some pipes on him! xxx
He played the male lead in the stage production of Rock of Ages
@@aesinam he plays Drew? Omg is there any clips of it on RUclips? xxx
YES!!! Sooooo good. omg.

That guy killed that “HOOOLD ONNN” so hard
From what I heard, he was Drew in the Original Broadway Cast
My favorite scene , along with Hit Me With Your Best Shot. The choreography is just amazing. Wow..
I saw Rock of Ages in concert 🎵 and I enjoyed it.
This needs to be a musical! It would be hard to get the rights to all the songs but it could work so well!

I've seen it twice in the UK, last time just a couple of weeks ago and it's a phenomenal show, slightly different storyline but my favourite musical EVER!
Chris Hardwick actually played Tom Cruise's part in the stage show
My Daughter just seen the musical in York UK on Wednesday night she loved it,I got her tickets for bday as I love the movie and all the music
Seen the musical twice, the story is a little different but been told it’s the movie that has the different storyline not the musical
Mia, Ive played this 200 times, I love it- personally u are a master.. God Bless x
This movie was a fever dream mixed with the haze of too much cold medicine
Amazing!
Watched this when I was 15 and since I have always loved this movie...I want my life like this (the music and dance parts)
marvellous, she's so beautiful!
This is a masterpiece! Mary J. Blige is magnificent. BRAVA to all the women in this number. Heel clicks are perfect.
I have the Movie And I watched all of It SOO AMAZING
I really have to watch this movie.
i would give all the monies to have mary j blige do an album of journey covers.
ALL. THE. MONIES.
Journey already co-signed her performances. Sure they would approve the project.
This change my brain chemistry
It's about keeping and maintaining your dignity. She did, he didn't. It's usually thought that sex workers are the lowest of the low. Quite a few of them are very bright individuals who life dealt a bad hand to, and they're just trying to survive. I don't want to just say strippers, I'm not wanting to put any labels on anyone.
GREAT MOVIE SUPERB TRACK 🤘😎🤘
Optimism and fun
That's what we haven't had since the Magnificent 1980s!!!!!
Me forgetting this movie even existed.Now finna be 17 years old will never forget when I first watched this movie back in 2017.I understand this movie now but as a 7th grader I thought they were just drunk and dancing.Iconic scene ever.
NOSTALGIC. TAKE ME BACK PLEASE 🙁
there was a lot of 'tapping' which made it all the more fun and interesting
Sweet ❤

That stage is a pedestal
And when you're up there
You're untouchable
And when you're up there
You can have it...
[Chorus]
Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it
[Verse 1]
Take Destiny!
She loves to laugh
She loves to sing
She does everything
And Saphire...
She loves to move
She loves to groove
She loves the lovin' things
[Bridge]
Oh, all night, all night
Oh, every night
So hold tight, hold tight
Oh, baby, hold tight
When it comes to the customer...
[Chorus]
She said: "Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it"
She said: "Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it"
[Verse 2]
I was alone, I never knew
What good love could do
Ooh, then we touched
Then we sang, about the lovin' things
Hold on, hold on, hold on!
Oh!
[Chorus]
She said: "Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it" (Anyway)
Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it
She said: "Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it" (Anyway)
[Julianne Hough as Sherrie]
Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Anyway!
Any way you want it
[Chorus]
Oh, she said
"Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it"
Best movie ever

This scene makes me want to learn how to pole dance

When the lead singer from Journey started singing, I lost it🫰🫰🫰🫰
🎤
The stripers are giving me life...
1:09 jim carrey is singing?
Rumor is they couldn't find enough dancers for this scene so they got real strippers.
The depiction of men at the strip club is hilarious
How to you know you're gay?
The answer: when you to a strip club and you notice all the hot MEN

If only real strippers danced this well!
I really want to take pole dancing classes!!! Indiana doesn't offer classes in the town where I'm currently at
I love dancing a pop song with strippers.
Pole dance.?
Oh cuma iseng candaan dengan teman teman.
Dulu.. Waktu bercanda. Cuma nyebut pole dance.
