    Now thats nostalgia!! Didn't even watch it when it came out but still.
    "Breaking free" and "We're all in this together" were kind of the theme songs of my last year of school. It was played over and over by my classmates especially in the last week, where we have kind of a themeweek, so everybody comes dressed up. It was so fun!!
    Also my god do I feel "When there was me and you".
    This movie is both incredibly nostalgic and fun to watch but also cringey and kind of annoying at times, but sometimes you just need those vibes.

    You should react to Adam Lambert. He's performing with queen and has an amazing voice
