Melanie's talents are mind blowing when you stop to think about it. She can write songs, sing, play several instruments, choreograph, write and direct every music video she's been in. It's all her own ideas, and that's what makes her music/art so powerful.
Spoiler for those who haven't watched the full K-12 movie: There was a monologue that was supposed to be at the end of this song in the movie itself. It makes more sense in the context of the movie as a whole. So the girl featured was a different girl, not the one Melanie was friends with in the beginning songs. The one in this video was basically in the bullying girls' friend group (the one who Melanie vanquished while they were in the tree from the Wheel's on the Bus video). The bully was forcing the newer girl to be bulimic to fit the ideal standards of the group. To have blonde hair (hence the wig), to be thin, etc. Everything that societal standards suggest a girl have. Every girl that represents these standards is featured with blonde hair in the film. Every girl seen with darker hair is basically those who go against "idealized beauty standards." And Melanie is shown with blonde and darker split hair because she is walking the line of trying to figure out what friend group she belongs in. When the bully was in the tree, she was planting all of those ideas in her head (when she was turning her own ideas into orange juice). When they swapped eyes, Melanie was basically commenting that the girl's perception of herself was not what everyone else saw. So she was showing the new girl how she viewed her by giving her, her own eyes. Melanie was trying to show the girl that she didn't need to try so hard to fit into a toxic friend group when she could just be herself in Melanie's friend group, and they would love and accept her as she was. Melanie and her friends saw how she was different like them because she too had black eyes and could make things float (this is shown in the movie just before this song happens). Then when they were in the bathroom together, that is when Melanie saw an opportunity to help and befriend her. In the following scene after Melanie's monologue about acceptance, she joined Melanie's friend group to eat with them in the cafeteria. Also, people tend to miss that during the intervention with the school counselor, the new girl has two mothers
When I saw the scene where Kelly was putting an orange in her brain I immediately thought it was her putting it in her head that in order to be pretty you have to e skinny and in order to stay skinny you have to make yourself throw up
You guys should do Lana together starting with her earliest album!!! If you guys enjoy Melanie, Marina and Lana would def suit you guys. 🎉 sending my love ❤
Если это лучшая песня,то как выглядит худшая? Перед этим мяуканьем, я смотрела реакцию этого же автора на песню Элвиса Пресли в исполнении Дианы Анкудиновой....Как можно сравнивать огромный водопад с маленькой лужицей......
That's not really our business, I'm enjoying the father- daughter dynamic just as much as I enjoy Lee there too. Just hope he's doing well and in good health. Nothing but love for Two Old Dudes and their families.
Hey! We've posted about Lee many times but unless you watch all the videos and read all the comments, it can get lost. Lee left the channel to focus on other things but he's doing great!

One of her most meaningful songs
Yeah and I love the live performance because you can really see how it means a lot to her and how it's deeply important to her to talk about it
@@icycrea-mx I hope I can see her live one day but I'm poor asf lmao
@@Ilovetoxicyuri I Hope so too... My mom was too late to buy the tickets for k-12 tour in belgium

When you gonna tell us where Lee is?
I was wondering...

He did mention it a while back in another video, before the reaction. He just didn’t make a huge thing about it in a separate video.
@@yumi.celeste I also like this dynamic. I don't mind it's just a little confusing yknow?
