What's YOUR favorite Broadway villain song?!
MsMojo You’ll back
Meant to be yours - Heathers 💞
Are you kidding? Candy Store, Meant to Be Yours, and Our Love Is God from Heathers
Thank you for giving props to Norm Lewis. One of my favorite broadway stars, in one of the best broadway villain songs.
Killer Instinct from Bring It On
Da da da da dayada dat da da da dayada, DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE
Fits him so much.
When did he become Bakugou?

Jonathan Groff: **isn't number one**
Me: Uh, wrong.

Yeah me to
King George: I will kill you friends and family to remind you of my love dada da dydaaadadadaddda
King George again: everybody
Everybody: DADADADADAYDADYDADADADADADADDADDADYYYDADADADADA
Yesssssssssss
I was so expecting “Meant To Be Yours” (Heathers: The Musical) and “Alive” (Jekyll & Hyde) to be on here.
Meant to be yours is more of a villain song than Candy Store, Especially since the heathers aren’t the main villains.
MusicalLover Covers ITS ALSO BETTER (just my opinion)
I love Meant To Be Yours! In Jekyll and Hyde I can't decide between Alive and Confrontation.
Ace Nobility The context of Meant To Be Yours is literally a crazy boy begging his then-ex to blow up the school with him. Why isn’t that song here?
Same!
Let's be honest, we all came here for King George.
Edit: I don’t understand after 2 years why you guys are still replying to this, or why this comment even got so much attention. I know some of you don’t like King George. It’s a joke lmao. Anyways, hope you guys are staying safe during covid.
Okay, this is true. For me, definitely.
Yes indeed we did good sir. I'm glad you as well are a man of culture. //tips fedora//
TotalHufflepuff most definitely
You're wrong
I came for Cell Block Tango
I’m a simple gal
I see King George,
I click
Relatable😂
Aileen Y. I wanna see Burr on the front-
Aileen Y. Word
Me tooo
Same...
I'm here because of Jonathan Groff
Update: Guys,so many of us,this is pretty awesome
Me too
Same XD
Jonathan is amazing
Isn’t everyone ^__^
Same here
"The pitiful children" deserved at least a honourable mention
Ik I was hoping it would be here
That wasn’t on broadway yet
@@camerontoddescamilla As far as I know has Heathers never been on Broadway so that shouldn't be a problem
HONESTLY LIKE CMON
YES AND UPGRADE
How is the Phantom an Anti-Hero??? While Javert is considered a Villain? Even Valjean doesn't consider Javert to be a villain. All Javert ever did was try to enforce the laws of his country - lawful good to a fault. Meanwhile the Phantom murdered multiple people, several hundred counts of attempted murder, kidnapping, etc... and not in the service of good, but in the service of himself.
The Phantom and Javert are pretty much the same villain type, but with some differences: they are doing something that puts them against the protagonist (Christine, Jean Valjean) because they thing they are right to do it (Erik because he trained Christine and because the world owns him something since it was cruel to him; Javert because he's in the side of law and Jean Valjean is a criminal, regarless if he's a good person), and at the end they both realized they were wrong.
I thing the difference is that The Phantom is a protagonist character (I mean, the play is called after him, lol) but Javert is the antagonist in Jean Valjean's story, and he's a main character.
I like the Phantom. I hate Javert !
Adding onto Kanaid Black’s point, it’s just like Sweeney Todd, I mean the protagonist is a guy who murders dozens of people, but he’s still the protagonist. And we root against the guy who put him in jail, just because he put him in for the wrong reasons.
@@KanaidBlack
Um... I'll agree they're the same because they share the issue of obsession. However, Javert is stuck in his view that no one can change and that any wrong for any reason is equal -- cold-blooded murder is the same as stealing bread for survival. Where as the Phantom is a twisted product of being a cast off of society, obsessed over what he has never had, and he murders innocents, while also kidnapping and seducing a teenage girl before he finally just gives up. Which is kinda like Javert, when he realizes that the world isn't just black and white, but I cannot say he was worse than the Phantom. The Phantom was a horrible person who did horrible things & his redemption at the end was too little, too late.
achanwahn Okay, don’t be mad please, because I know some people will get angry at me most likely but I gotta say this. The phantom didn’t understand how to love, which he was indeed obsessed, I won’t argue there but he didn’t understand what to do with it. The phantom had been an outcast for his whole life, his mother even sold him to the circus to entertain others, and the man who worked there forced girls to kiss the phantom after showing his face. When he finally meets someone, named Christine at first he was a simple teacher to her, but soon that turned to love and since he didn’t understand this, it was actually obsession. I don’t hate the phantom because it seems people don’t understand what life put him through, he felt he deserved some happiness which I don’t blame him. But to add onto that hurt, Christine tears off his mask to reveal his horrid disfigurement, twice in the musical and someone gets in the way of their love. He starts going mad, and people won’t listen to his letters, which doesn’t help keep peace, he’s starting to kill people, and probably killed in the past, not certain there I admit. In the end he has a realization after Christine kisses him, which makes him realize that quite possibly he’d never feel happiness and he must accept that, and it seemed he never got the happiness he deserved. That’s just my take on it though, can’t really be sure but I feel- bad for the phantom, though he had no right to kill those people he didn’t know how to react properly, though the story isn’t real. Since it isn’t real I feel that Christine could’ve possibly changed him for the better in due time, because it’s fantasy- I don’t believe there was an actual opera house with a disfigured man living under it. So, Christine could’ve changed him for the better, that’s just my take though on the whole thing, other then that I love that musical and plan to see it in July.
The funny thing is that King George was in the musical like... three times😂
Vkook he was sat there for Adams administration and was featured in the Reynolds pamphlet
samtiger 74 Oh really? Sadly I didn't see the musical, I only have the CD
Armyyyyyy
Well, after "I Know Him," he becomes part of the audience, taking up a seat just off stage. Then he gets in on the fun of mocking Hamilton in "Reynolds Pamphlet." That part was improvised by Groff, but it stuck.
AtarahDerek Like I said : I've sadly never seen the show
Ok,im sure we ca all agree,Cell Block Tango is a MASTERPIECE
Shannon The Awesome Fuck yeah it is-
Shannon The Awesome yes!
Pop!
I tried watching Chicago, but got to the innocent hanging before the redundant songs made me turn it off. I didn't get the hype.
fu ck. y e s.
Although Heathers was off broadway, I find J.D’s “Meant to be Yours” is such a great song. J.D isn’t necessarily the villain but he does have his moments and I absolutely love his arc.
I think JD more than qualifies as a villian. I mean the whole song he is basically begging his ex to help him blow up the school.
JD isn't necessarily the villain?? He wants to blow up the school with everyone inside 💀
"You'll Be Back" Is only NUMBER 6!?!?!?!?
HAMILFANS BE RAGIN'
You'll be back must to be the number 1, for me is the best
Yeah, I’d like a joint space as I love what comes next and I know him just as much, and that spot should be #1
Alexa Misty 😂😂😂 I read Hamiflans. Whoops
Fuming.
oh you mean *Hamiltrash* because surely when u decided to like hamilton you'll no longer be a fan that just simply likes Hamilton, you obsess with it😂
Is King George really the villain of Hamilton? I mean, he showed up like 3 times... I always thought Burr was technically the villain, since he literally calls himself "the villain in your history" near the end of The Word Was Wide Enough. I feel like Wait For It should've been in You'll Be Back's place on this list, but hey, that's just my opinion. (granted, I have listened to Hamiton at least 25 times all the way through)
edit: hey this is like a year, probs almost 2 old and ik that king george was the villain in this side of history, but my comment was more about Burr being the "villain" in the musical since King George as a character was more set-dressing than he was an actual character.
edit 2, 5/18/21: i am literally not looking for a discussion on who the villain is LMAO please
Burr wasn't the villain sure he did a few bad things but so did Hamilton
If they're counting Javert as a villian, then I'd agree. But with Aaron Burr....what song do you pick??
King George is the primary antagonist in Act 1, and Burr is a secondary antagonist (after Jefferson) during Act 2, I believe
To be completely honest, Jefferson was kinda the Umbridge of the Hamilton fandom, a character you could easily hate on, but is played by a person who you can’t hate on.
@@Potterhead-wg7vz I actually find it difficult to hate on Jefferson. He has so much swag, it's too much fun. Madison I can hate on....and also Hamilton in Act 2!
Here's the list for those who can't be bothered
10) The Bottom Line - Newsies
9) Candy Store - Heathers
8) Stars - Les Mis
7) (The Legend of) Miss Baltimore Crabs - Hairspray
6) You'll be back - Hamilton
5) Little Girls - Annie
4) Pretty Woman - Sweeny Todd: The demon barber of fleet street
3) Last Midnight- Into The Woods
2) Dentist - Little Shop Of Horrors
Honourable Mentions:
Blood in the water - Legally Blonde
The Neva Flows - Anastasia
My Name - Oliver!
1) Cell Block Tango - Chicago
TheLargeSad thanks, made this a lot easier
Thanks
Thank you
Boi Anastasia only got a honorable mention? Bruh... why does Ms. Mojo always overlook it!?
I'm sad that King George/Groff is #6.
YOU’LL BE BACK IS MY FAV SONG FROM HAMILTON 💕😭
Fight Me!! One Last Time is the BEST!!!
The World was wide enough
Is best!
OPINIONS, OPINIONS, BUT ARE WE FORGETTING SATISFIED AND BURN?
Argentum Aurum THOSE SONGS ARE DEPRESSING
BUT INDEED THEY ARE GOOD
Try listening to Anastasia the musical, it's a really good musical
You’ll be back was NUMBER SIX OUTRAGEOUS
Insaaaaane~
'The room where it happens' feels exactly like a Disney villain song to me. Burr wasn't really a villain though, just an antagonist, or I would have expected that one here.
It doesn’t deserve number 1 but it should’ve been higher
Heather's is a realistic highschool depiction... well ok I've heard everything now
Yeah,yah know cause killing 3 people and burning down a house is NORMAL
Ava Wilson what no one burns down a house in heathers lmao
Ava Wilson burning a house is be more chill
I'd say the way the characters speak is more accurate than a lot of other media about high schoolers, the actual events are not realistic but the Heather's dialogue isn't too far off how someone in that position might speak
They weren’t talking about the musical as a whole
The Witch wasn't a villain, the whole point of that play was that there was is no such thing as a villain and hero.
Denice G. EXACTLY
Denice G. Yeah but we needed to include it, it's amazing
Only a shimada can control the dragons 😂😂😂😂😂
She is more of an antagonist. “I’m not good, I’m not bad, I’m just right.”
and Cell Block Tango isn't villain song to me either.
Wait they put on Candy store but not I was meant to be yours from Heathers? I was meant to be yours established how JD became a true psychopathic villain.
gamingkitten93 uhu!!
Meant to be yours is way more epic than candy store! Candy store is really good but it's not epic... And JD is indeed the true villain of the musical
They should’ve used Meant To Be Yours though lmao
They shouldn't have used either of them, as Heathers isn't a Broadway show.
Candy store is better tho
4:45
For the Hamilton fans who just came for King George...
You’re welcome
Needs more likes!
Thank you
Thank you
Thank youu
Why thank you
Who else knew from the moment you clicked the video that Candy Store would be here.
AidoPotato yep...
AidoPotato M E
I didnt. I just dont like heathers much because its super unoriginal so i dont really ever think about it much
Yupppp
Me
Candy Store is amazing. The harmonies alone make it deserving of being on this list.
From Heathers, the real villan IS JD, and god, "Meant to be yours" surely is THE villan song from heathers
Actually, he counts more of an anti-hero or a hero turned villain type of character. Throughout the musical, though, the Heathers were the true villains. Everything they did or happened to them has a significant effect on the rest of the school and JD is not excluded from that effect. Let's just say that the Heathers cruelty to the other students, especially Veronica, further amplified JD's twisted ideals. Unlike JD, the Heathers are well aware of their evilness while JD thinks he's doing the right thing.
Alex Alson JD was insane from the beginning (I'm sure that he would have shot Kurt and Ram in front of the cafeteria, but of course, that would have been the shortest movie/musical ever) of course, the heathers were villains, but secondary villains, although their intentions surely weren't good, the character who always was a real threat (to veronica and the whole school) from beginning to end throughout the entire thing, was JD, heck he even was willing to kill veronica if she tried to stop him from blowing up the school, although yeah, we could say he "turned into a villain" but for me at least, isn't a "turned into" but more "shows to be the real villain" that's why "meant to be yours" should have been there, it evidences JD's insanity, what he is capable of, and surely kicks candy store's ass when talking about villain songs, that's why I really love Heathers, it makes you think that the heathers are the bad guys and everything (that's why they are on the title, right?), until Chandler dies, that's when you realise how twisted the thing is going to be
FallenAngel7538 Okay, I can whole heartedly agree with you, after rewatching the musical just now.
FallenAngel7538 Trueeeeeee
Alex Alson Jason "anti hero" Dean killed 2 students, and tried to blow up the school. He also manipulated Veronica to take part in the murders, and Heather Duke to become the queen bee and bully Heather M into attempting suicide. That sounds more like villain than anti hero
I was honestly expecting "Pitiful Children" to be here.
Same
SAME
Yesss
It wasn't on broadway yet when this video was released
@@whyisno4630 neither was Heathers
Sweeney Todd, Chicago, Hairspray, Little Shop of Horrors, AND Into The Woods (my fav musical) all in one list??? Sign me tf up!
BranFlakes Poptart But Phantom, though!
My fave musical is certainly either 42nd street or Mamma mia though.

Who literally came here just for King George?

Right here, my man.
Yep that’s me
montana fay me honestly

I guess "Wait For It" straddles the line between a villain song and a power song, because otherwise it would totally be number one on this list.
AtarahDerek that’s exactly what I was thinking.
AtarahDerek actually, none of Burr's songs would qualify. Burr is not truly a villain, just an antagonist. You can be one, you can be both, or neither.
I never saw it as either.
AtarahDerek she said anti hero is ruled out. Same reason music of the night isn't on the list
wait a minute, I don't want to watch the video, but what MANIAC puts Wait For It on a Broadway Villain Songs list? The Room Where It Happens, sort of...maybe. A little. What'd I Miss? sure. You'll Be Back. Fine. But I hardly think it qualifies as a villain song.
When I saw King George from Hamilton I got so excited 😆
My favorite musical villain songs are..
Alive-Jekyll and Hyde
Heathers-Meant to be yours
Heathers-Candy Store
Yeah I was wondering why Jekyll and Hyde didn't make the list.
L Y Lam
Same it was in the beginning
unfortunately that version was the 2012 revival version
same!
also,
cell block tango - chicago
@@lyl9255 Possibly because this is a list of Broadway version. David Hasselhoff didn't do a good enough job to compare to those in the list. Tho I believe that Alive would be on the list if they use the concept album
I’m kinda dissapointed that they chose Cell Block Tango, I don’t think the murderesses were the actual villains of the story.
true, but im satisfied with it
Liam Solbjerg same
TRUE
True the villain is technically the jury
Liam Solbjerg i personally consider roxie the villain of chicago and i think the song roxie is an amazing villain song. Also the musical version of the song is way better.
Honey what you WAITING FORRRR
Lukachi TP Welcome to my CANDY STOREEEE
You just gotta prove you’re not a PUSSY anymooore
SHUT UP HEATHER!!!!!!
Freeze your brainnnnnn...
STEP INTO MY CANDY STOREEEE
I was hoping “The Pitiful Children” would’ve at least been in the honorable mentions. It’s so catchy and BMC deserves more than it got
Bottom Line, Candy Store, (The Legend of) Miss Baltimore Crabs, You'll Be Back, *AND* Cell Block Tango? This video is AMAZING!
Marlissa L Garcia BUT WHERE IS PHANTOM?!
I’M CRYING! 😖
A few things here:
1. Heathers’s lead villain song is definitely “Meant to Be Yours”, but I agree that Candy Store is more iconic (and more fun tbh).
2. I love Last Midnight but it’s tough to call it a “villain song” because the witch isn’t really a “villain” in the musical.
3. If we’re going to count Stars as a villain song for Les Mis, then I’m sorry but Hamilton’s should’ve been “The Room Where It Happens”. It follows the exact same formula, with the “well meaning antagonist” expressing their personal ambitions and their strong dislike of the protagonist, whom they see as morally corrupt.
I'm not that familiar with Hamilton songs but I LOVE 'You'll Be Back' 😁😁😁
Roan Hollinger. You should listen to the musical
Please listen to the soundtrack, you'll might like it
Roan Hollinger i
It's so good! you should give it a chance!
It’s my fave play. I know almost every word to most of the songs
Ladies if he doesn’t send fully arm battalions to remind you of his love he ain’t the one
boys: write that down write that down ✍🏾
Am I the only one who doesn't view Javert as a villain? Just a very confused man devoted to justice who has never been taught the value of grace.
You are not the only one, Javert infact is not a villain, he is just the main antagonist.
Ashley Penn sorry, hit by accident.
There are no villians on Les Mis. The point is, exactly, that every character is miserable, somehow a victim of life and/or decisions
"No villains in Les Mis"? What about the Thenardiers? No miserable situation is an excuse for cruelty, not to mention all the other crimes they committed despite already owning a somewhat popular tavern, so they're villains by quite literally every metric.
*sighs* I get so annoyed when people don't know Javert is not the villain. He's the impersonal hand of the Law. Clearly they know nothing of Javert!
I love how Anastasia is mentioned it’s such a good musical
The Neva flows is one of my favorite broadway villain songs
Alexandra A I FREAKED out. Ramin is my idol, and I love his Gleb
Bailey Bieganek Ramin is my favorite male musical theater actor.
MWN yeah he's amazing isn't he? Like, I love a lot of musical theatre actors but I don't know if I've loved one as long and as much as I love him! And he's just killing it career-wise so yay!
I love the Neva Flows but I feel as a villain song, Still would have worked better because it really shows his conflict and in the live production before he sings, he’s on the phone with his boss going over what to do with Anastasia. But I really do love ramin I’ve seen him twice in Anastasia and once in Carnegie Hall and I hope he comes back soon
Oh, hell yes. Heathers *and* Hamilton?? Sign me up.

ABSOLUTLY YES FOX

yeet me into a ceiling fan hello fellow panromantic demisexual
As much as I adore 'Little girls', I still think 'Easy street' is a lot more villainous . (And catchy) .
Samuel Anderson I'm sorry that I can only like this comment once.
TOTALLY agree with this.
Totally agree. Plus the fact that THAT song had all THREE of the plays villains. As for "Stars" Javert wasn't completely a villain. I think "Master of the House" would have been more appropriate. And, another honorable mention; A story Told, from The count of Monte Cristo
Oh Yes ! , Master of the house is much more fun yet still quite dark !
My heart nearly stopped seeing Anastasia! Ramin did a phenomenal job- that musical deserves more credit!
I KNOW right? It's so unfairly underrated.
THANK YOU! PREACH!!!
RAMIN ❤️❤️❤️❤️ voice of an angel 😇 (best phantom ever)
Javier isn't Lawful Good, he's Lawful Neutral. His whole thing is "Follow the law, because it is The Law." Right and wrong don't enter into it.
In dnd, alignments aren't necessarily permanent. When Jean Valjean saved him, Javert started to question things, and was beginning the transition to LG. However, his commitment to law was so strong, that he saw the "good" as corruption, and destroyed himself rather than allow it.
No, they're not permanent, but for most of the play he was absolutely textbook LN. He had a very very black and white outlook on the world, and when that was challenged, he couldn't handle it. I'm not sure I agree that he was headed towards good, but his world view was definitely falling apart, and he killed himself as one last ditch attempt to hold onto it.
I wouldn’t necessarily call Javert a villain
Javier lol
UMMM WHAT HAPPENED TO “PITIFUL CHILDREN”
pitiful children is always a bop
*BEEPITY BOOP BOOP*

UNDERRATED MUSICAL
MY favorite musical villain songs:
Meant to be Yours
You’ll be Back
Wonderful
kayak canoe the first two YASSS
I was wondering where the JD fans were! Thanks! 😄
kayak canoe YESSS
I'd go with Meant to be Yours instead of Candy Store myself, but both are good.
kayak canoe Yes, love Wonderful and can't understand why it was left out or why it hasn't been mentioned more in the comments.
A-Alan Rickman? S-Snape? In a musical? HOW AM I JUST LEARNING THIS
YES CELL BLOCK TANGO I APPROVE 😍
except the Hungarian was innocent
I knew this wasn't gonna be on the list, but I think one of the most underrated villain songs is " you will still be mine" from waitress. It's lyrics are like a standard love song, but the music is so tense and dark. It really encapsulates the abusive relationship Jenna is going through.
Les Walking Dr. Musical Lover omg you are so right it is a villain song and it’s such a good one
IT WAS NOT FAIR TO PUT KING GEORGE IN THE TNUMBNAIL AND DONT PUT HIM IN TOP-3
Диана Ямалтдинова in my opinion it should be number one
I see Jonathan Groff as King George, I click.
I feel like "Someone gets hurt" from Mean Girls should have been in this.
Its ok if they don't have it
It's fiiiiiiiiiine
Or world burn
@@mok.7624 YES I WAS EXPECTING WORLD BURN
Or world burn
@@mok.7624 oh jynx lol I didn't see ur comment
1) heathers was off-broadway, not actual broadway. 2) why was alive only included in the clips?? it's way more of a villain song than stars. even as much as i love les mis, javert's just the antagonist of valjean, not a villain.
samantha kay ! Actually, Heathers was on Broadway but then it had some off-Broadway shows afterwards with a few different cast members. Hamilton also had some off-Broadway shows with not all of the original cast members. The scene they show while the Heathers sing candy store is from the Broadway show. The off-Broadway show has a different person playing Heather Chandler.
Exactly! I was so excited to see Alive! Jekyll and Hyde is so incredibly underrated.
Yes! Someone finally notes how great of a villain song Alive is!
@@jaedencoffey5514 actually that's not true?? Heather's was only off Broadway they just had a cast switch which is very common in musicals. The reason it is called "off Broadway" is just the size of the theater not having anything to do with the quality of the show. And in 2014 Heathers never switched theaters
Am I the only one who thinks Meant to be yours - Heathers should be here
Moonlightlove Msp Heathers wasn't on Broadway thought.
Moonlightlove Msp He's more of an anti-hero. He appears as a white Knight and transforms into the villain whereas the Heathers are the villains throughout.
Theodosia Burr- But Candy Store was in the list
Moonlightlove Msp heathers isn’t Broadway
It was said that they wouldn't add anti-hero songs
For Heathers I thought it would be "Meant to be yours"
(Also she means normal as in how mean girls act)
Everyone is here for Hamilton and Healthers. I'm here to appreciate cell block tango
weirdo me. and Sweeney Todd 😍
Erica Bautista are you Filipino?
Erica Bautista I mean your last name sounds Filipino
weirdo I am actually hahah why?
Erica Bautista nothing just wondering
I have trouble with the way you pick who is the villain : if Javert's les Miz's villain, shouldn't Burr be Hamilton's ?
LMM said himself how connected these two characters were, and that the whole "I looked back on where I failed" is exactly the same melody as "I am reaching but I fall" !
If King George is, then surely, Master of the House would be a greater pick for les Miz' given how the Thenardiers are pictured are the only really bad guys from both book and musical.
And for that last Chicago song, even though I absolutely ADORE the Cell Block Tango, I'd pick so many songs as the "villain song" from this musical..."Honey of Mine", or even more "All he cares about is love"...
My thoughts exactly.
I would compare Javert’s “Stars” to Burr’s “Wait For It.”
Like Javert, Burr didn’t know he was the villain till the end.
Both songs give a little insight into how they developed their psychological issues. I listen to Stars and I think, “ He’s not a bad guy he just has OCD. He needs everything to be in the right place all the time.”
“Wait For It” is just Burr explaining why he is so methodical and wish-washy.
I love both songs so much!!!!
The King George one is awesome, but he’s not the villain. He’s a villain, but not THE villain.
Hell, Burr even says he’s the “villain in your story.”
I suppose because Burr doesn't acknowledge his villainy until after he kills Hamilton ("now I'm the villain in your history"). I don't really see Javert as a villain, though; he's just doing his job as a parole officer/Inspector, which is to bring to justice someone who has violated their terms of parole. Burr gets caught up in his political and personal rivalry with Hamilton, which leads to one big villainous moment.
Exactly : for me, none of them are villains, but if they would, Burr would be more villainous than Javert.
Even though when he says "now I'm the villain in your history" it's more like "I've made bad choices, and now history paints me as an asshole, but hear me out I didn't want to kill him, I said wait, but he was wearing his glasses, he's a good soldier, he will shoot, he always said he would not throw away his shot, I had to do it in self defense..." kinda.
I agree on the Master of the House thing! It would make a lot more sense for the Thenardiers to be spotted as the villains than Javert.
I was thinking "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" from Cabaret might be on here, but nah. Maybe that's getting too dark for MsMojo. Anyway I was iffy on the Javert one, too. Especially saying "Not everyone knows they're evil..." okay lol I definitely wouldn't say he was EVIL
Wonder why these didn't get mentioned?

They were in the movie first.
tHjhhHiSSSS TASK FORCE IS FOR LOSERS
Definitely missed “And Eve was Weak” from Carrie the Musical

CANDY STORE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH HIGHER ON THE LIST
idk i find heathers to be really unoriginal in general soo..
Rainbow Pancakes I completely agree
I SO AGREE!!!!!!!
Yessss
Don't get me wrong, I adore Heathers. But all of the songs following Heathers til the top spot are incredible and well deserving.
Dude, where’s JD? There should be freeze your brain or meant to be yours or I am damaged ?? He’s more of a villain than the heathers
JD wasn't a per say 'villian', the Heather's are the main antagonists. Ram nor Kurt were villians either. JD was just insane, and he only hurt Chandler, the main antagonist, so he wasn't a villian. Kurt and Ram were just the football douchebags every highschool setting has. The only antagonists were the Heather's, as they meant to hurt every around them. But I do see where you're coming from.
...He tried to detonate a school with hundreds of kids in it.
He's a villain dude.
@@lewdcynthia7264 I wasn't trying to be rude. You can think what you want, but JD wasn't the main villian, the Heather's were. I don't understand why you're getting offensive, 'dude'.
>dude
>offensive
Did you have a rough day? LOL
@@lewdcynthia7264 I don't believe I was addressing you in my first comment. Obviously, someone put you down today so know you gotta put someone else down, so I think it was you had a rough day LOL
Is it strange that I am attracted to all the women in Cell Block Tango?
Totally justified
Rachel Fifer no
Rachel Fifer not at all. In fact you are supposed to be attracted to them!
That's the point of them.
Rachel Fifer nope same
The Neva Flows was so moving in person ❤ One of the best and most realistic heroic -justice type villains.
Don’t get me wrong I love Hamilton it’s one of my favorite musicals but really annoys me how they said that you’ll be back was essential to the show when Lin himself said it wasn’t.
Hayley Hickman Yeah King George is like the most pointless character but I love him lol
Ya the show could’ve gone on without king George, and he definitely didn’t need three songs, but at least he’s there for comedic purposes
Hayley Hickman you'll be back I iconic and I LOVE it just as much as the next hamiltrash but definitely NOT essential to the show lmao. It fills the void of the Kings reaction to all that was happening but the show would be completely fine without it.
When the unneeded character is your favorite character *cri*
He isn’t essential, but he is still amazing. He deserves the three songs he got, because it gives the show a different point of view.
You'll be back, time will tell, you'll remember that I served you well
Oceans rise, empires fall
We have seen each other through it allllll
And when push, comes to shove
I will send a fully armed battalion
To remind you of my love

I like Hamilton, but I came more to see Les Miserables on the list. And it was with Stars, so I’m glad.
I came for Hamilton AND heathers
100th like your welcome
pov: your me happily screaming and running around your room because an anastasia song was finally in one of these even if it was just and honorable mention

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this, but Heather is not on broadway. So... as much as I love candy store it shouldn’t really even be on the list (also if it was, it should be higher up). To be honest I don’t even see the Heathers as villains either. To me they’re just antagonists, and JD is the villain, but that’s just a personal opinion and how I view it.
Mamma Klaus I agree
>makes video about broadway villain songs
>includes Javert
>just forgets the Thenardiers exists.
The only real villains in the story
I showed up here very late to say the same darn thing. Antagonist does not automatically mean villain!
Yea exactly. I know, what an absolute bastard for chasing down a criminal. How dare a policeman do his job. Obviously jean valjean is a good guy, but breaking parole is quite a big crime. Also, remember the fact that he was was born and raised in jail, so it’s understandable about his obsession
I literally only came for the Hamilton one
No Jekyl and Hyde...sad
It’s in the intro thing before at least
Yep, it needs a LOT MORE recognition
yay, another fan :D
Umm, I won't say the Broadway version of Hyde's song is good enough to be in the list... The concept album one will do, tho
We did a parody of Cell Block Tango at my school.
I did the last verse.
Now, imagine that last verse about Al Lipschitz...
...Coming from a boy in a black bikini.
Hyped Apple omg I love this 😂 this I kinda want to see
Great list! Some other potential honorable mentions could include:
The Smell of Rebellion
Be Prepared
Feed Me
The Pitiful Children
Hellfire
Spread a Little Sunshine
honestly I could go all day lol
HONOR AT THE SQUIP SONG AND UPGRADE TOO 😊
I think (in my opinion) orin wasn’t really the villain of Little shop and Audrey II was I mean he (or she because of Amber Riley) eats people and Orin is the first victim
Mean green mother from the outer space
HOW THE HECK DID THE NEVA FLOWS ONLY GET AN HONORABLE MENTION?!?!
I KNOW RIGHT! ANASTASIA IS SO FCKING UNDERRATED!
I SAW QUITE A FEW GOOD ONES I HAPPY! CANDY STORE IS YAS! YOU’LL BE BACK IS EPIC! STARS IS AMAZING! LITTLE GIRLS IS HILARIOUSLY PERFECT! LAST MIDNIGHT IS ART! AND CELL BLOCK TANGO IS QUEEN!
Unmentioned: *I'm Alive from Next to Normal*
Omg yes! Next to Normal needs more attention🙂
I loooove that musical! 😍
Y E S
I love the musical. But no! Gabe is not the antagonist. The "enemy" of the musical is depression - how it lingers. Yes, Gabe is the physical embodiment of the long-term depression, but in my mind, he is also the victim of the story. The song I Am the One has Gabe literally begging to be heard. We are supposed to sympathize with Gabe. I cannot see him as the antagonist. (Although, yes, in I'm Alive Gabe admits that he is bad, I don't believe it. He wants recognition and love, something he can never get. :'( ) Gabe may be the "bad guy" to his sister, always stealing the spotlight (embodied by Superboy and the Invisible Girl) but as a whole, I cannot see him as the ultimate villain. I feel for him too much.
PREACH
Burr is the main antagonist of the overall show.
King George is the antagonist of Act 1.
Jefferson (and Madison) are the main antagonists of Act 2.
But King George has the most villainous song in the whole play that's why it is on the list.
When they title it “broadway villains” but then they include heathers that didn’t play on broadway 🤨
Kit Kat it's off-Broadway, which counts
Lin S I got it I was just being a nit picky theater nerd and since she didn’t say it I had to call it out
Should've been on Broadway though :/
Candy store should have been higher in my opinion
Castiel Imposter Heathers wasn't even on Broadway
SHUT UP HEATHER!
ugh why tho.... ._.
it's from the song. ._.
Are we gonna have a problem...?
?you got a bone to pick
You’ve come so far
+Long Live Evil why now are you
Bungy I could just slap your face off... and all of these commentators could watch 😊😊😊
but I'm feeling nice here's some advice listen up BIACH (yesssss I did this part its my fave)
haven't even watched the video but just from looking at the title and thumb nail THERE IS NO VILLEIN IN HAMILTON! how many times do i literally have to say this.
I'm a simple person, I see Johnathan Groff, I click.
Blood in the Water is fantastic, it should be on here!
Of course I’m also biased because it’s my favorite role I’ve ever played lol
Declan F. Blood In The Water is easily an ICONIC villian number
HEATHERS ISNT A BROADWAY SHOW!
And if it was it would totally be Meant to be Yours.
RainbowUnicorn237 YES IT IS
Cell block tango always gives me chills
No King Herod's Song?
David Smock Ooh, that's good too. Perhaps that's too "old" for this audience.
I feel You'll Be Back rips it off
Yeah, I Agree No King Herod’s Song
@@PitbullLover2010 I agree
Heaven on their Minds. My favourite song in JCS, and definitely beats most of the songs on this list. Given that Stars by Javert is on this list (another character who believes he is doing the right thing until it's too late), I feel it's odd they didn't include it.
When my school did Annie we didn't have enough girls so a guy had to play Miss Hanigan (or however you spell it) and it was the funniest thing I ever heard.
two words: world burn
Mean Girls is a shit musical with crap composing.
@@rideoutsean
It's an entertaining musical with witty lines and memorable songs.
@@lady7399 It still doesn't deserve Top 10 Epic Broadway Villain songs.
@@rideoutsean there's a difference between "not in top 10" and "utter garbage" and you titled Mean girls as the latter with no real reason why. Also, World burn is awesome, even if it isn't my favourite from the musical and I wouldn't put it on the list either.
@@rideoutsean just because you hate something it doesn't automatically mean it's crap.
Its very easy
If I see anthing Hamilton related...
*I CLICK FAST*
Me too
Faster than Eliza falling for Alexander.
I saw this video in my recommendations and then I said “This has King George III on the thumbnail... I NEED TO WATCH THIS!” *click*
Who wouldn't click because of him?
Same
Morgan Kujawa exactly
I love how hamilton is the thumbnail
Great to hear Ramin Karimloo on here. He's amazing.
i actually think that "Love is an open door" is a legit villan song
It is, but I don't personally think it should be in the top ten.
> Villain songs
> Javert
okay, I see your point, wouldn't call Javert a villain but sure, however, for that logic...where's "This Jesus Must Die?" Caiaphas and Annas had arguably one of the best songs in the musical and it doesn't even make it as a clip on the intro?
It's not a villain song. They're the leaders of an occupied nation, and they see a revolutionary who's opening up old wounds, leading to eventual war with Rome. They're not wrong either; Jesus' goal was to martyr himself to preserve his message in people's minds. He totes manipulated them into that position. Just like Herod, just like Pilate, just like Judas.
The closest thing that play has to a villain song, surprisingly, is "The Last Supper." It shows a whole lot of darkness in the traditional good guys of the story. The apostles are all more concerned with their own posterity than the figure they're supposed to be gathered around. Jesus himself is manipulating everyone and everything, trying to guilt trip the apostles to herd them back in line, hurting Judas to force the betrayal.
Javert is more of an antagonist and anti-villain. If there are true 'bad guys' in Les Mis, its the Thenardiers.
I find he falls into the Macduff from Macbeth category of fitting the définition of antagonist definitely but villain is an arguable term
THIS. THANK YOU. Seriously, what about Master of the House? The Thenardiers are arguably the biggest villains in Les Mis, and Master of the House is awesome.
Or the song by Judas. I agree, Jesus Christ Superstar should have been right on here
For the millionth time- Javert is not a villain!!!!
I get that but he was just doing his job. Even Jean Valjean didn't hold it against him.
Emily Kowal true. Though he's not an anti hero either. Anti villain I think they call those lawful neutral guys
He spent 20 years trying to restore the order that he believed needed to be maintained. Javert is black and white. Valjean is a prisoner. He escaped. So Javert needed to recapture him. That is the whole point of his death: he realized that he was not correct, that he too was part of that badness that he was trying to prevent. So he killed himself to institute order. He no longer stood for the white that has mind presented. He cannot live with grey. The 20 years was about so much more than just the loaf of bread.
prettymonsterofevil mmmm not exactly. They simplified his story in the musical version, but valjean only had a few years for stealing, then he tried to escape prison a total of four times I believe, and then once he was put on parole he broke it and went back to stealing!!! Yes he “found god” but the situation with the bishop shows exactly why (if it weren’t a story) javert SHOULD be trying his hardest to get him back in prison
Edit: just looked it up, it was originally 5 years then he got the additional 14 years after trying to escape 4 different times
I know he just has strict morales thenardier is the real villian
You know you spend too much time listening and watching Broadway musicals when you know every song and all the lyrics mentioned in this video.
