John Travolta is such a sassy woman
yes
yaaaaaaaaasss
+Melita Harris lol I saw this movie a long time ago and I was like 😱 hairspray
5:00 - Grease 2 sucks
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA
Something about the racist lady falling over brightens my soul.
Yeah that's karma.
Yea
Which one? Cause I loved both of them
@@jmbalvarez5228 i think ambers mom
@@kirokiro6473 I think they meant penny's mom
John Travolta really added heart to his portrayal of Edna. That role could have turned into a massive joke but I’m so happy he really portrayed a woman learning to let go of her insecurities
Yeah it's like weird where the casting of a man to play a big woman is a joke, but in the film itself Edna is portrayed as a strong woman with a truly loving husband and happy family
You believe he's a woman him and Christian really pulled off the relationship lol
@@AnvilPro100 "no one can dance better than you" "get em" his we comments are hilarious and adds to the believability of their relationship lol
I have to say that I watched Grease and Hairspray so often as a kid and didn’t even know it was John Travolta until my mum told me XD
Agree this is one of the best roles hes played
I TOTALLY approve of them changing the winner to Inez in this film. Also, was anyone else MASSIVELY surprised that Amanda Bynes could SLAY IT when singing?
Nah I wasn't surprised because of the Amanda Show
No, but I was surprised she could dance in that dress. It was so restrictive.
More than anything, the change gives a subtle shift in giving the populace of Baltimore a real choice in who to choose. Little Inez is a very young child who just wants to dance with the other kids after working so hard. To see that rewarded gives the black characters just a little bit more agency than the original musical needed.
@@oscarsoto8428 does she win in the broadway show too or just the movie?
@@jessicadawson2192 just the movie.
Can we appreciate the costume department for a minute I mean the dresses they chose were perfect to show the movement and flow of the dancers as they span and danced
Dear Carolyn Price's words have only struck deep chords !!! We loveth the Carolyn !!!
And Tracy's dress actually symbolizes the 2 different colour skinned coming together to make perfect even patterns. With only 1 colour it's boring, but with 2 colours coming together it makes a beautiful pattern if they come in harmony.
@@hopelovewright4248 and Penny's dress is actually made from her curtains bc her mom would never buy her that dress
But not Amandas her dress look like shower curtain and she looks uncomfortable wearing it
riinJIMON kind of the point ^
Now THAT is how you end a FRICKING MOVIE
fame 1980 movie had a cool musical end as well that i always loved
Dear GOD, you know?!? ... Exactly dear TheHD Shadow ... (pardon the rhyme) !!!
Facts
fricking
Not to mention the ending credits song, Come so far(got so far to go) is also amazing.
"They love you, Link!"
"Yeah? Not for long!"
I love that knowing that as he brings Inez on stage, the crowd is going to completely forget about him and go crazy for her amazing dancing!
Oh no the reason why he said that is because he was bringing on Inez and there was still very much institutionalised racidm
@@snowyowl2784 both interpretions are valid tbh, there are people who love Inez and those who hate him for bringing in Inez
👽👽😇😇🙃🥳😎
Honestly, one of the things that warms my heart in this scene is Corny himself. Throughout the movie we see him try to bring new and fresh ideas to the show, such as bringing Tracy on board and suggesting that they integrate the show permanently. When Link brings Inez onto the stage, Corny knows her name despite her not having been on the show before, and he likely knew about her through Maybelle and Seaweed mentioning Inez wanting to dance on the show someday. You can also see the utter surprise and delight in his eyes at 3:59 as he announces her the winner, and the lack of hesitation he has in shutting Velma down, mentioning the side clause in the handbook mentioning that ANYONE can dance for the Miss Hairspray title. Then he announces the best part - the show is officially and forever integrated - and brings Maybelle onto the stage, telling her what she should've been told long before - "This is your time". Love Corny so much
Unsung hero of this movie
So true!
Agreed.
And don't forget Maybelle's look of utter pride at 6:51
Really, he’s ahead of his time, not many tv show hosts would have thought the way he did.
Random fact: This song was nicknamed "You Can't Stop to Breath" by the cast because of how fast it went. Only Queen Latifah had no problems with it due to her history in rap.
+The Ravaloxian Whovian That's really cool. Thanks for sharing. I'd like to see the rehearsals for the whole movie, it must've been fun.
The Ravaloxian Whovian
Well, Queen Latifah also only had to dance and sing for the last two minutes or so of it - that probably helped.
@@jesscarrier4180 Except she sang as much as the other characters, what the fuck?
Man I tried ringing it a home and I sound like I'm dying
Yeah, except Queen Latifah had only a little part to the song and she didn't dance as much so...
I'm not saying Queen Latifah's history in rap is irrelevant to why she doesn't have a problem to the song. I'm just saying that having a small part and not having to dance much, contributed to her not having to catch her breath to the song, in comparison to the backup dancers, Zac, and Nikki, who had to sing and dance through most of the song.
The casting director of this movie is the real MVP istg. All the actors brought out their 110% in this, whether they are major or minor characters.
Tell the beautiful truth, dear beautiful Snoopy Mochi !!! Tell the beautiful truth !!!
Snoopy Mochi and stellar too. Michelle, Chris, Zac, Queen and of course the one and only John.
The original tracy is the business lady in the crowd wearing black with the body guards !!
@@danf5184 omg wow
Agreed. I really appreciated James Marsden's performance, but I feel like he doesn't get recognized for this role enough.
Kudos to the filmmakers for giving Seaweed more lines in this song than he had in the musical. He deserved to have this bigger presence in the finale.
Literally I love him and penny so much
Agreed!
‘Tomorrow is a brand new day and it don’t know white from black’
That line always gives me the chills. Such a beautiful message 😩🖤🤍
Same here!
The new UK production changed the lyrics to say, “Tomorrow is a brand new day and it sees both white and black.”
It gives me chills. This musical has such an incredible, powerful effect.
@@laurissa1790 that's actually better lyrics.
When people say they don't see colour they're saying they don't see racial disparities
Wow this whole time I thought it was "Tomorrow is a brand new day and it don't know what comes next" but this makes much more sense 🤦♀
@@marleyalford3376 😂😂😂
The best thing about John Travolta's acting here is that you don't see him playing a woman in a gay way. He is so convincing. I can really see a woman in his acting and the way he sways his hands.
Ngl first time I watched this I didn't know it was John Travolta until later on lmao
Yeah I watched this as a kid and never knew till much later
Also nice name😉
Tbh it took me a while to realise it was him like lmao
@@moonchild3717 Same. My mother told me it was John Travolta and I was really shooked
Yeah, he doesn’t play it in a gay way… he plays it like himself…
Honestly I think the world needs this movie right now
Corny: This is the future...
Me: Sigh
Cops will still do anything they can to stop black people from living their lives.
Preach
@@jacquesca :(((((
Exactly, dear Ben-of-Hahessy ... exactly !!!
“Tomorrow is a brand new day and it don’t know white from black” tear to my eye every time. Such a powerful line
Agree. Very powerful words and that is why I love this movie!
Same gives me the chills
And the background singers when they sing, “be gone!” Those two lines are my favorite!
Definitely one of my favorite lines in the song.
Yes me too. I cry during the whole scene for each and every one of them. Lol
i love that Corny was always with the shits. He was so damn sick of the producers & Velma that every chance he got he pissed them off. Especially the determined look on his face when he grabbed Maybelle.. & then her smug look knowing she was about to shut it down in the best way. This is one of the best movie-musical endings ever made. Loved Hairspray
I so so love him for it ^^
Him totaly rolling with tracy and inez inclusion was allready great but that he purposefuly gave the stage back to its unrightfuly banished queen makes it even so much better. She could have come at her own, but that would not have been the same. No he invites her back with an attitude as if it should be obvious to everyone that she rules
that was the if you smell moment!
In my head, they were always in love with each other, and after the events of the movie, they became official. They also became Hollywood and Broadway legends. They died as one of the greatest couples of all time.@@arianewinter4266
@JenniferBrigitteOpthiticalVortex this makes my heart so happy!
'this is *your* time' chef's kiss
i just find so powerful the way Edna didnt come out of her house for 10 years because she was ashamed of how she looks but at the end she took the courage to dance in a tv show and sing about how she likes the way she is 🥺
True, dear Juana-of-Iriarte.
What also gets me is when she’s marching onto the stage the people behind her look thrilled about having her there and it’s just nice
And it took Tracy doing something about.
Travolta dancing in heels is amazing!
@@TyrSkyFatherOfTheGods John did do an amazing job dancing in heels.
I love how all the backup dancers are just dancing a little into the back ground and then when queen Latifah comes in and dominates, they all get properly into it and do a huge dance number
My fav part ♥
Let’s face it, Queen Latifah has that effect on people, generally...! 😍
As it should be.
Definitely did it for the effect and also because it’s the ending climactic scene so they want a Big Bang moment
RESPECT QUEEN LATIFAH!
The woman that handed Corny the results deserves integrity points. She could have easily still written Amber Von Tussle's name or even Tracy Turnblad. She knew Inez was the winner and was not to bullshit us.
You know I had never even thought about that but it is so true!
Yes, Results Lady is awesome!
She had a look on her face which said
Amber is going hate this
Perfect
Corny is literally just vibing for the entire song and I respect that.
It's great how they managed to pack so many important messages into one song
Right!
I'd still love to see katie hopkins review this
+Sean Mathieson Perfect comment!
Sean Mathieson so true I love the song too
Sean Mathieson
Just realized how incredibly symbolic it is having Tracy wearing a black and white (checkerboard) dress!
@@tillyk4393 that's pretty gay.
Gei
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@tillyk4393 why did he wait until she walked away to say all of that 😂😂😂
Nothing gets past you did it
This movie is a testament to how good of actors John Travolta and Christopher Walken are. I 100% believe that they're characters are in love. It's amazing. I love this movie!
Walken is probably one of the most versatile actors. Besides playing the role of Wilbur Turnblad, he was a Bond villain in View to a Kill, a steelworker in The Deer Hunter.....
The part where Penny's mom trips over the table gets me every single time 😂
😂same
@nightmaregirl5589 For me it's where she's trying to scrub Seaweed off the screen with a bit of tissue lmao
@@Emma-gl7ny Its bad enough she a Karen but that's racist...
@@Emma-gl7nyshe’s trying to wash off his blackness. It’s racist but i thought it was funny. Like absurdly funny.
@@abc.animal5143 Precisely the point, racism at its core is so absurd we have a duty to reduce its power by skewering it with jokes like these.
I've watched this an u n h e a l t h y amount of times
OMG SAME!!!
There is no unhealthy amount if times for watching this
Joca to trueeee
Me too
It's OKAY,you'll be laright😁
The fact that Corny was like "screw it i'm probs already fired" and ran for ina and Seaweeds mother is too precious for me to handle.
We love and warmly chuckle at thy choice of words, dear Kori-of-Booth.
@@ty7504 I'm pretty sure i know u irl... No one calls me that except a few people...
Personally, I think he fancies Maybelle - or at least has a very high amount of respect for her
“How are you going to fire Corny Collins from the Corny Collins Show?”
@@todotodolikesyou9518 I think it’s also because of how she was previously disrespected by the same lady that tried to get him to stop the show “turning to gumbo” lol
Can we all just appreciate the dad being the number one ultimate cheerleader for both his wife and daughter? His support for them throughout the film is supremely unmatched.
Also,
I love how Tracy and Link step back with Corny Collins at the stand to give Edna the entire stage to shine.
This whole family is just love and support incarnate.
🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
"The Corny Collins Show is now and forever officially integrated!" That line is the best! I get chills every time I hear it!
I think corny is the unsung hero in this musical he's always ahead of the curb
agreed
i've always had a crush on corny and james marsden
Judy W agreed
Corny was lowkey woke asf
Judy W agreed
When John Travolta in fat suit and high heels can dance better than you😂😂😂😂
I know right 😂
🤣🤣🤣
It weird how I didn’t know it was John till I read this comment section...
😂😂😂😂
jajajajajajajjajaja 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Michelle Pfeiffer is everything in this movie. I think her performance is underrated. She’s the main villain in this movie and does an amazing job making people dislike her.
Also, the one female dancer in the yellow dress with red hair is awesome. I always gravitate to her in this scene. Great performance.
St helens thither roul
I Think The Movie Makers Agreed With You, That’s Why They Put Her Front And Center At The End And Even Gave Her A Close Up Shot
She always nails the villain role imo she did great as the witch in Stardust (one of my all time fave fantasy romance movies) and the evil queen in Maleficent 2. She's just brilliant as a villain.
@@tang3151 agreed. I think she played the best Cat-woman in any Batman movie 🍿. Her talents have no limits.
@@marioramos6803 so true!!! She's a spectacular actress and so beautiful too
“Not a chance. This is the future.”
That line is a good comeback.
I love when Corny Collins confidently struts past Velma and takes Maybelle to the dancefloor.
Maybelle like at Cornet with attraction at the end lol
It’s such a power move for equality and I live for it
And the way she strides forward with such confidence, with that assured smile... GOD she really is a Queen.
@@Icecreamandradness I LOVED that part when he says "this is your time" and shes is like "u can be damn sure it is".
The moment he announced Inezz was amazing, he didn't even miss a beat even though this was a HUGE moment when a white boy asked a black girl to dance on national television
This is why Tracy is one of my favourite protagonists! It was her DREAM to be on that show and win, but you can still hear the *sincere joy* in her voice when Inez is declared the winner.
She knew that girl deserved it, and she was completely fine with it (especially because she still got her own happy ending too)!
Absolutely lovely and only 'felt' words, dear Icecreamandradness ... thou art indeed both 'ice cream' and very 'rad' !!!
Primarily she wanted to abolish sterotypicality
It’s great 👍
I'm so lucky my name is Tracy:>
sadly the musical made her win tho, the movie has a much better delivery of this
Hairspray honestly tackled most of societies problems and still made it child friendly, fun, energetic and representative
i love how in this version, they didn't let the von tussles sing the last part like they did in the original musical as a sign of redeeming themselves and here they stayed as villains till the end cause honestly sometimes antagonists don't deserve it
That inclusion in the original was something I disliked. They were malignant racists and fatphobic monsters, and there's nothing redeemable about them. Adam did the right thing to exclude them and add Little Inez's moment in history and glory.
@@JenniferBrigitteOpticalVortex Imagine having actual vitriol towards the fictional villains of a musical.
@@theaccordian9377 Someone just found out that people don’t like racist characters bc it reminds them of very real racists in real life. It’s okay, it takes time to learn when you think fiction doesn’t affect reality. It’s okay sweetie ❤❤❤❤❤
@@JenniferBrigitteOpticalVortex I suppose the point is that they are 'won over' and progress along with the rest of the world. The world would be much nicer if the racists could be convinced in a single song and musical just represents that more pleasant reality.
Yeah, I get the whole " magical musical power" to tie everything up nice and neat, but it's better to see the crap people end up with CRAP
I still can't believe John travolta played the mom
Yesss
He rocked it
JOHN TRAVOLTA PLAYED THE MOM?!?!? he sure can dance in heels!!
+Eliana D. Umm, yeah. he can Dance. Saturday Night Live and Grease?
+Eliana D. he dance at Saturday night fever and grease too. lol.
I lost it when penny’s mom tripped over the table
Same it’s so funny

@@hierrikmedan6934 I bet they had a cushion offscreen for her to fall onto dw
Why is no one talking about John Travolta and his legendary part as Traceys mother. My respect and admiration for the man grows deeper as I re-watch this movie over and over again 😢🖤💖✨
The way his voices squeaks on certain words is just adorable.
best part of the movie, I so so adore his portrayl of edna ^^
Shame he's a Scientologist.
@@MonstehDinosawr Yeah, but that doesn't take away his absolute talent, whatever he may be. You better separate the actor from his craft, he was amazing.
Can we PLEASE appreciate the choreography. Let's take a moment and acknowledge the choreographers. The choreography truly captures the true essence of that time period. I LOVE It . The choreographers deserve their flowers 🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀🌹🥀
Out of all the "Hairspray" moms in drag, I think John Travolta's was the best.
I AGREE 100%
Divine was the best
Caramel Skin Tracy's mom being played by a man in drag is how this musical is traditionally done
Marion Sandström - not only the musical, the original film too. Divine is one of a kind!
words can't express how much i stan corny collins and everything he's doing
meeeee
Who doesn't?! He is amazing!!!
@kshamwhizzle are you that boy from Sam and cat? Jebsen
@kshamwhizzle yep. He's literally made of sunshine and rainbows. Precious angel.
yes!
Tracy’s face when her mum comes on stage to dance, she’s so happy and proud!! And Wilbur, my heart! Having a man who supports his daughter and his wife like that😭❤️
I just love Tracys face at that point. Surprise instantly going to pride!
His "WOW!" just makes me so happy!
I know this movie is over a decade old, but Penny and Seaweed were always my favorites. Their budding romance is delightful to watch.
My theme song against Racism, Sexism, Classism, Homophobia.All the negativity in the world. Thank you a lot Hairspray. I have always been in love with this movie and everything it offered.
Peace and felt understanding to the dears Trae & Tay Official.
@@ty7504 Nothing less than pure love...Nothing less
I seriously love this film soo much
Yes! this is such a great film, that has a really positive message! It also sends off a message of body positivity too :)
it’s very truly amazing. :)
One of the very rare cases where the movie is actually better than the musical it’s based on. Love Hairspray 2007 sfm god
Absolutely agreed, dear Starcrossing. Life is full of surprises.
It’s also heavily based on the movie from the 1980’s by John Waters
It’s just that great of a movie! I recently watched it again because someone reminded me of it, man I was punching the air when it rolled to the credits. I was enjoying every minute of it
Faxx, cuz Inez didn’t win in the original musical. I also like that Tracy wasn’t even mad about it.
One of the few times the remake is better than the original movie too.
Perfect."Do it now or forever wish you had!" Amazing dancers, especially the red head in yellow. And the idea that the Corny Collins show is integrated, and everyone should do the same. Rock on, Little Inez!
god bless amanda bynes. she was going thru things a lot of ppl cant imagine as this was filmed, and yet she gave an AMAIZNG performance. i hope she's found peace. ❤
still cant believe how good john travolta looks in that dress
Kerryn Cole same
His Wife must of been so jealous
IKR? For a guy in drag, that dress does look good on him. Makes me think of "Some Like It Hot". XD
He so talented don't think anyone else could of filled those heels
He is not a good singer but a good dancer
Am I the only one in love with Penny's dress ?
it's actually made from her curtains to show that her mom would never buy her that dress which is pretty cool
Me gurl
Every day of my life
Her shoes 😍😍
Besides the fact that she can barely move in it
“Do it now! Or forever wish you had.”
Those are some true words.
As a pre-teen, I originally went to see this movie in theaters because Zac Efron was in it. But I went back to see it again & again because it’s a masterpiece & EVERYONE in it was incredible
You can't beat John Travolta. He dances in drag with grace and skill.
Especially in high heels.

I think this is easily one of the best scenes in the entirety of American cinema, and it doesn't get talked about NEARLY enough.
"yesterday is history and its never coming back" might be the best quote ive heard in a long time.
Queen latifa is so tall that when everyone jumped she matched them by just lifting her arms, that was awesome
Elias Villa I think it only looked that way because the rest of the dancers were further away from the screen.
Queen Latifah is 5'10, but with the heels and the wig and the positioning it looks that way
Elias Villa ui
I'm your 100th like!
The name Latifah has an h at the end and the L should be capitalized
Anyone else keep having to remind themselves that John Travolta is a man but plays his role as a women amazingly?

This movie did absolutely everything right. The casting was perfect, the entire soundtrack is so catchy it'd be annoying if all the songs weren't so good, the costume designers obviously had a good time, the writing was solid throughout. Just an all around well done film
Reasons to love hairspray:
1-happens in the 60's
2-music that sticks in our head
3-The movie has an interracial couple
4-has a history of overcoming prejudice
5-and one of Broadway's most famous musicals

My favourite is Little Shop of Horrors but this is my second favourite
7:18-8:03 is honestly by far my favorite part especially the little details in the ensemble. I love how during that entire part if the dance the dancers are all mixed up like during the jump the race of the ensemble is mixed up then during the lifts there's white guys lifting flipping and dancing with black girls and black guys lifting flipping and dancing with the white girls all in the heat of the moment none of the characters are probably even looking at race they're just dancing and having fun while also trusting each other cause lifting people that high on a dime while sing takes so much strength trust and energy and in the context of this movie it's incredible
My favorite part too!
“so if you don’t like the way i look, well i just don’t give a damn”
“cause tomorrow is a brand new day, and it don’t know white from black”
this show is really a revolutionary masterpiece !!! especially since it was released during a time where there still wasn’t as much inclusivity as today 🥹 plus there’s representation for people of different shapes, sizes, color, beliefs, etc. 🤧 i would love to watch this on the big screen again

@Elly van den Brink yes. But this film is from 2007 and not 1960s
@Elly van den Brink and what racism are we facing today?
Considering how people think racism is no longer an issue, we really could use more films like this. Especially for topics like the LGBT+ or other races like Asians. Considering we just faced Covid recently and many people were hating Asians for it.
this cast was insane for a newcomer like nikki to lead with allison janey, queen latifah, michelle pfieffer, christopher walken, and john travolta 😭 iconic
Dude, John Travolta is seriously under appreciated in this movie.
I think it's kinda funny how most people dont realize it's him playing Edna.
ARStone he s the best at this
NoGoogleNO! It’s supposed to be that way. That was the way the character was portrayed way back on Broadway, before it was a movie. The mom was always supposed to be played by a man. On Broadway, Harvey Fierstein played the mom. While I was never a big fan of that version I still think both Harvey Fierstein and John Travolta did a great job.
Next time do your research before criticizing. Thanks
PigWIthGlasses good for u
@@adnelg319 lmaoooo i was looking for him like whereee?
It really shattered my heart to find out this isn't how it happened in real life... Apparently instead they chose to cancel the show as opposed to integrate. So depressing...
Olivia McDonagh wait, hairspray happened in real life?
Noor Yeah, it was called The Buddy Deane Show, but got taken off the air in 1964 because they refused to intergrate. Depressing, isn't it?
shay bloodmoon dearest troll, if you could kindly fuck off, that would be great. Your attempt at getting a rise out of anyone was so abysmally poor that it's just laughable.
Olivia McDonagh That's so sad, didn't even know that.
That's hilarious
The part where Inez gets her crown at the end always brings tears to my eyes 😭 love love love this movie and everything it stands for!!
I know 😊😭
I love the costume choice for Tracy in this finale - her A-line sequined dress and gogo boots look is at least five years ahead of every other girl on that set and is incredibly flattering on her.
Honestly, Travolta deserved so much more credit for this. 😅
Agreed. Say whatever about him, but you can't deny he's a true movie star.
Shannon Ross He really did, he was fantastic. Xxx
"if you don't like the way I look well I just don't give a damn"
Fantastic freaking scene and lyrics.
He played a chick. He sang and dance with fake breasts. Impressive. Not many can do what he did in this movie.
You forgot with heels on. I love walkin' in them, don't get me wrong, but top marks to that man. They couldn't have been comfortable to be running, dancing and jumping around in.
Travolta is a true talent. He sure could act and dance and oh boy he nailed that part.
I'm... stunned that Danny Zuko can play a woman that convincingly.
Breene H john Travolta
yes ik lol
Breene H lol I'm guessing she's never seen grease
+Derrian Dinwiddie John play Danny in grease lol
He's funny
appreciation for Mr Turnblad who is an amazing father and husband. He pushed Tracy to follow her dream and loved his wife whole heartedly, without telling her to change her body or anything.
Sometimes I come to this video just for a pick me up and it almost always does the trick. Such an underrated show!
Agreed
According to the DVD extra features, it took only 2 takes for Queen Latifah to record her lines and with such clarity but everyone else struggled to breathe because of how wordy this song is and Queen Latifah was like "I'm a rapper, I got this" She is absolutely deserving of her crown 👑 and also Miss Maybelle has the best outfits!
She has a nice voice too. I thought she’d be all deep and gospel like Aretha Franklin or something, but no, it’s light and pleasant.
Absolute queen shit
Queen 👑 UwU
she’s not ‘QUEEN’ latifah for no reason!
@@yourlocalbi9811 your mother?
John Travolta and Christopher Walken are a true power couple
IM CACKLING JNDUJFEJIFEINED
my pp is really hard
TK slimjim same, and I'm female ;)
Right
John Travolta has a wife. Just because he plays a woman in Hairspray, doesn’t mean that he’s gay.
小さい頃に見て23歳になった今もずっと大好きな映画です❤❤ハッピーな気持ちになれるし色々なことを学べる映画です！！！いつまでも大好き
I only watch the Hairspray Live, didn't know there's this version. But I gotta admit, You Can't Stop The Beat in this version is better than the Live for me.
This song just literally screamed and fight any negativity in the world, Racism, Transphobia, Homophobia etc. it's just so much energy and it's heartwarming.
If you have netflix or HBO max you can watch it there!
You have to watch it entirely. I couldn't make it through the Live version. I was like y'all keep saying Ariana Grande got pipes but why was Amanda Amanda waaaaaay better in the movie?!
@@doanwatch_me7721 Amanda is the best Penny ever. She was an incredible actress and singer.
@@doanwatch_me7721 Ariana did not fit the part, AT ALL. I actually think she and Dove should have switched roles, cuz I see Amber as a better part for Ariana, and Dove would have been a great Penny.
The only reason I sat through the live version was so I could see Harvey Firesein come out of the giant hairspray can for his big moment. I understand people have their own opinions, and mine is that Ariana Grande is just not a good enough singer for anything she does outside of a controlled recording environment.
Yeah, all those are great performance,. But Queen Latifah walked in and brought everyone to church.
AMEN, dear Dan Onil-of-Galang.
my favorite comment!!💓
This musical is life. We need this now.
Musicals are my life
So your life was lived in the 1960's?
I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!
+PaintingOfTheMind. They're saying that it's life.
Erin Parks
OH. Okay. >.> Sorry lol. I thought it was "This musical might as well be my life." not "I could breathe this instead of air and survive."
I remember being obsessed with movie as a child.
this still brings so much joy so much fun I so miss Amanda Bynes. She was so wonderful in this. I have to believe some of her is still underneath and her heart and soul maybe one day she'll find the beat again!
Can we all recognise how powerful those women are for being able to DANCE IN HIGH HEELS!!!!
True
And John Travolta
Espeshly 6:04 John Travolta 😉
And drag queen ;)
Im a dancer and it is all about the ankle strength.
I just understood why Tracy's wearing a checkerboard dress
Lol me too😂
In the original run of the broadway version she wore a similar dress
I thought it was meant to mean that she supported integration. She's single, but she's not an unwed mother. Correct me if I'm wrong. Isn't that the reason?
Andrea Blacker You are right. Also, the style of the dress and her hair showed how progressive and ahead of the curve she was because those styles became popular in the later 60's.
Thank you. That makes lots of sense!
The one thing I love about this particular scene is that both Amber and Velma for once are pretty much being told no if you will. Their ego is deservingly shattered! Now I will say I’m proud that Amber actually accepted it, but Velma was still in the “world revolves around me” state of mind. Some people just don’t learn
Not to mention Velma admitted, on live TV, that she switched the tallies so Amber could win. She practically admitted to cheating.
3:27 Penny's realisation that she's on live TV is priceless. XD
Don't worry Amber, in a few years you'll dye your hair red, and somehow convince a tiny DJ to join your a cappella group. It gets better, sweetheart.
Lol I was thinking the same thing. Pitch Perfect meets Hairspray
wait what really
ohhhhhh Nvm
BGTitanAvatar don't forget she went to prom a year after hairspray and her friends were murdered
iiMaginationKingii Oh shit I forgot about that too
Queen Latifah is the best what i find amazing is the fact she does not seem like she ages at all she is always looking young and beautiful
Funtime foxy black dont crack ! 😄
Funtime foxy I
Funtime foxy She's BOSS!!!!! The voice and acting. A true talent
Agreed
Funtime foxy IKRR SHE IS ALWAYS SO BEAUTIFUL
6:10 his reaction was real! They kept it in the movie because it was just too damn good!🤣
its not
Bro is like an NPC whahahahahaj
Christopher Walken's character doesn't get as much love as he deserves. He loves his wife and daughter and supports them both unconditionally.
Throughout the entire film you can tell John is having the time of his life in this role. And this was Nikki Blonsky's first role and she knocked it out of the park. Evryone looked like they were having in this movie. Always puts in the right mood. The positive energy radiates off this film and I love it.
Travolta loves to dance, hes always dancing I love it! Great actor, tragic life. I often do think of him.
I read that Nikki was such a natural dancer, that some of the cast who had been dancing professionally for years had to up their game to match her.
I love the host in this routine, Someone comes down from a rocket and starts dancing. Ok. A ‘White’ only show but a little black girl is invited to dance by the most popular male dancer, sure. Stage randomly invaded, brilliant. Handshake turned into a hand slap, cool. He could be fired, tells her to shut it
He just rolls with it all
Corny is an amazing person
Indeed, dear Lucie-of-Ellis ... it is as though the host (Corney Collins) could represent Joe Biden, Maybelle (played by Queen Latifah) could represent Shamala Gopalan-Haris whilst Little Ioness (her daughter) could represent Kamala Harris. History, as always, is manifesting once again in the present !!! GOD BLESS THOSE EDUCATIONAL 1960s AND 70s !!!
I don’t know if I’m looking too deep into it but you can also tell he’s not putting on a face for the camera by the fact he’s just grooving out in the background shots as well as when he’s properly in frame when everyone else is grooving
I’m in love with Corny Collins lol
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice good
Bittersweet seeing Amanda Bines here.
She was at her best here and who would have known 3 years later was the end of her career because of that ass!!!
I do forget sometimes how talented Amanda Bynes is
"Not a chance, Velma. This is the future." Great moment.
Lily Luna that moment was my favorite
Mine was when he cited rule 30, paragraph 5. "Teehee, my reasoning beats out your bigotry and I have the law on my side. Suck it, Velma."
Lily Luna indeed!!!!!!
I'm so glad that Inez wins in the movie version. Tracy doesn't need to win the show because she already won her personal battles. The script just makes more sense for Inez to win. Hairspray revivals should take note of that.
Preach🌟💕
This film is just so colourful, well meaning, and joyful, truly a pleasure to watch to this day
I've seen this musical like a hundred times and this part still makes me cry every time
Spanish: somos dos. Abrazos desde Argentina para tí ❤🖤💛💚💙🧡💗💟💞
