Wagon on Fire and Torture Tango are criminally low, though watching this makes me realize that act one closers is a place where Starkid/TCB really shines.
Can we all agree that in The Night Belongs to Us when you hear jemilla say “meeeeeeee” while everyone else says “us” and then they all end together it is absolutely amazing and I would die for jemilla and zazz
I also love the progression of songs leading to it... it shows the progression of the story: It goes "The Night Belongs to Snarl" to "Into the Night" to "The Night Belongs to Us" and obviously they're very self-explanatory but I think it's really cool how the songs are incorporated so well into the story and show the growth of the characters
Starkid really knows how to do act 1 finales damn I was sad that some things were ranked low but then I saw the things above them and completely understood
The thing is that it’s not about bad to good, all of starkid’s/tcb’s act 1 closers are good-it’s trying to figure out which ones are good and which ones are great. I think all of them have a great impact depending on the person.
I love you for ranking "I was" so high!!!! I can give a ted talk (like Lauren) about how underrated that song is.. Imagine a hero and a villain of a story being able to sing the same lyrics and still make sense in their own perspectives? Only AVPSY can relate.. Not to mention Darren and Joe harmonizing like the Kings they are!! I cry every time I listen to it.. It reminds me that 'We all go through the same stuff, but differently'
YOU GET IT!!!! have you seen clark baxtresser performing “i was” at starkid innit? because my god that man had my jaw on the FLOOR. but for real i’ve always loved how starkid were infinitely better at drawing actual meaningful parallels between harry & voldy than jkr
okay but like, 'those voices' is so underrated which makes me kinda sad because it's one of my favourite starkid songs, and i'm really happy that it was so high on the list!!!
To quote Jafar, "Well I don't appreciate any of your ideas, I do appreciate the fact that you have ideas. Maybe someday you'll have some good ones." :P Joking aside, it takes guts to put your thoughts out there and anyone who loves Starkid is alright in my books.
I’m low key really sad that monsters and men is second last. I thought it was a brilliant act one closer (Ok but I just finished the video and realized that I probably wouldn’t put it much higher, maybe 8th place at best? Like dang does starkid have some good act 1 closers)
I've just understood that Starkid and TCB have so strong closing act 1 numbers... I love all of these song, really. It must have been hard to rank them!
I watched this while playing a game of FIFA, and when Happy Ending started, I started a breakaway towards the goal. I scored just before the big final note, and instead of singing Dylan's part like I usually do, I jumped STRAIGHT to Rachel's part and sang it out. Satisfying as FUCK!
kinda offended that to dance again was down very low, but i respect your opinion. HOWEVER, i very much appreciate that those voices and i was was in top 3. honestly so gooooood
okay so i’m not necessarily a harry potter fan but i watched the first two potter musicals because i LOVE starkid but Those Voices has honestly gotta be one of my favorite songs from starkid. like, the la’s are so fricking catchy and it’s so dark feeling but fun? i can’t explain it lmao
The Night Belongs to us wouldve been first for me, i freakin love it. Starkid (and TCB) act 1 closers are absolutely amazing and so hard to rank though omg
number 7 and up gets to what I call the goosebumps zone cause they're so well done, although I think that The Night Belongs To Us deserved higher than torture tango
Honestly Monsters and Men never gets enough credit, it’s so EFFING GOOD!! Curt’s short part is enough to make that song, my god he better SANG! Also, the end of Happy Ending never fails to give MAJOR chills and make me tear up, Twisted is the most beautiful starkid show, y’all can fight me on that!
I watch these videos to see how my opinion differs to everyone else Personally wagon on fire would be first Also, thank you for rating those voices high as a lot of people don't like that song. But i love it.
I can’t believe how many good closers they have. Every song I was thinking “oh this should be higher” but then the next song came and I was like “ok but this is amazing”
Some of y’all haven’t let the cruel realities of adulthood bring you down into millennial-depression, and it shows through the severe underrated-ness of Monsters and Men.
after feeling how personally attacked i felt after seeing monsters and men and torture tango so low i think i've come to the realization that i am in fact in love with curt mega
I was so pleasantly surprised at how high Status Quo was, I feel like it's one of the lesser talked about numbers but it's one of my all time favorites!
i love those voices it’s always been one of my favourite starkid songs, but i don’t think it’s very effective as a first act closing number - idk i guess it depends on what your criteria were for the ranking
Woah, they're all so shockingly amazing! My personal list: 1. Wagon On Fire (TTTO) 2. To Dance Again (AVPM) 3. Happy Ending 4. Status Quo (Starship) 5. Dynamic Duet (HMB) 6. I Was... (AVPSY) 7. The Night Belongs to Us (Firebringer) 8. Join Us and Die (TGWDLM) 9. Monsters and Men (Black Friday) 10. Torture Tango (SAF) 11. Listen to Your Heart (MAMD) 12. With My Own Eyes (Ani) 13. Those Voices (AVPS)
‘Happy Ending’ and ‘Wagon On Fire’ may have been the first two I thought of when seeing the title, but I completely love all of the ones that appeared in between those two on the ranking too. Damn, Starkid is just totally awesome at these
I'm so sad that two of my four faves, "With My Own Eyes" and "Monsters and Men", are the bottom two. ButI'm glad that the other two "Listen to Your Heart" and "Status Quo" are higher.
With almost all of the earlier ones I found myself thinking "But that's not fair!" Especially The Night Belongs to Us and To Dance Again, which along with Those Voices would probably be my top three. But all the Starkid/TCB act 1 closers are just so good, I understand your ranking too.
I was confused for a bit because to my count there’s 12 StarKid musicals and 2 TCB but this list only had 13 places then I finally remembered solve it squad has 2 songs
Some of these are very hard to rank. AVPS - Those Voices HMB - The Dynamic Duet MAMD - Listen to Your Heart Spies Are Forever - Torture Tango Firebringer - The Night Belongs to Us AVPM - To Dance Again Black Friday - Monsters and Men Ani - With My Own Eyes TTO - Wagon on Fire TGWDLM - Join Us (and Die) Twisted - Happy Ending Starship - Status Quo AVPSY - I Was
Wagon on Fire and Torture Tango are criminally low, though watching this makes me realize that act one closers is a place where Starkid/TCB really shines.
I feel like it’s because most of the time it is the final song before things get f*cked up
That's exactly what I was thinking
Also, that’s just before audiences go to the bathroom or catch their breath. They might as well go big
Pretty sure the Act 1 closing number for TGWDLM is the beginning of Moana
So obviously it would he rated #1
Muh Muh moaaaanaa, make waaaay make waaaay, consider the coconu- huh huh! consider the co- and con- and no one leeeeeeaves
Can we all agree that in The Night Belongs to Us when you hear jemilla say “meeeeeeee” while everyone else says “us” and then they all end together it is absolutely amazing and I would die for jemilla and zazz
Polly Morrow it’s the part in any starkid show that gives me the most chills, like it sounds so fucking good ahhhhhh
I also love the progression of songs leading to it... it shows the progression of the story:
It goes "The Night Belongs to Snarl" to "Into the Night" to "The Night Belongs to Us" and obviously they're very self-explanatory but I think it's really cool how the songs are incorporated so well into the story and show the growth of the characters
Omg Merediths part in that song is just wow 🤩
OK but why is every single Act 1 closure such a bop this should be illegal I swea-
Starkid really knows how to do act 1 finales damn I was sad that some things were ranked low but then I saw the things above them and completely understood
I know, right?! Starkid is beast at everything musical. And I agree about the rankings. Plus, everyone has their own opinions!
Yes i agree everything should be at first place
The end of happy ending is such a bop
Someone get me a rock version, that would be great.
@@CinnamonixRich I didn't know how much I needed that until now but...YES
Starkid Potter said Twisted rights
Happy ending is one one my favourite songs
that whole show just has really good vocal arrangements
Me halfway through the video: HOW IS YOUR WAGON IS ON FIRE ONLY NUMBER 6
Me at the end of the video: ok I'm still mad but I get it now
6. Wagon on Fire
*Ahem*
No
Yeah it should have been higher
I think it was more about how well the songs closed off the act, but I still think wagon on fire should’ve been higher
The thing is that it’s not about bad to good, all of starkid’s/tcb’s act 1 closers are good-it’s trying to figure out which ones are good and which ones are great. I think all of them have a great impact depending on the person.
I also feel like whichever ones help to close out the end of the act and leave the audience in anticipation to come back is also an important factor
I love you for ranking "I was" so high!!!! I can give a ted talk (like Lauren) about how underrated that song is.. Imagine a hero and a villain of a story being able to sing the same lyrics and still make sense in their own perspectives? Only AVPSY can relate.. Not to mention Darren and Joe harmonizing like the Kings they are!! I cry every time I listen to it.. It reminds me that 'We all go through the same stuff, but differently'
Finally someone who gets it! I honestly think this is one of my top 3 favorite Starkid songs.
YOU GET IT!!!! have you seen clark baxtresser performing “i was” at starkid innit? because my god that man had my jaw on the FLOOR. but for real i’ve always loved how starkid were infinitely better at drawing actual meaningful parallels between harry & voldy than jkr
Twisted is the only musical/movie/anything that makes me cry every single time. Very happy with the rating
okay but like, 'those voices' is so underrated which makes me kinda sad because it's one of my favourite starkid songs, and i'm really happy that it was so high on the list!!!
I watched this video and every song I was like, “THAT SHOULD BE HIGHER :0” and then I remembered the rest of the songs you hadn’t shown
To quote Jafar, "Well I don't appreciate any of your ideas, I do appreciate the fact that you have ideas. Maybe someday you'll have some good ones." :P
Joking aside, it takes guts to put your thoughts out there and anyone who loves Starkid is alright in my books.
when everyone is singing their own thing and then they line up at the end is one of my FAVE things to exist in music ever
I’m low key really sad that monsters and men is second last. I thought it was a brilliant act one closer
(Ok but I just finished the video and realized that I probably wouldn’t put it much higher, maybe 8th place at best? Like dang does starkid have some good act 1 closers)
I've just understood that Starkid and TCB have so strong closing act 1 numbers... I love all of these song, really. It must have been hard to rank them!
I randomly burst out with the “buddies bro’s homies” thing all of the time to interrupt silences.
those voices? number three? i'll take it!
In "I was", Darren and Joe's voices blend so well
Idk if I could ever do ranking vids bc they are all such good songs . Omg I was ranked so highly, I’m so happy it’s legit my top StarKid song
I watched this while playing a game of FIFA, and when Happy Ending started, I started a breakaway towards the goal. I scored just before the big final note, and instead of singing Dylan's part like I usually do, I jumped STRAIGHT to Rachel's part and sang it out. Satisfying as FUCK!
so happy that those voices got the love it deserves
I’m so happy that Happy Ending is number one. It’s my favorite Starkid song ever!!
I'm glad Status Quo and I Was is getting the love they deserve 🥰🥰
Torture Tango is my personal fav
I love any moment that Tatiana sings tbh and all of them singing together just gets me
Wagon on Fire was robbed
But then again all of these deserve number 1 I'm just biased
kinda offended that to dance again was down very low, but i respect your opinion.
HOWEVER, i very much appreciate that those voices and i was was in top 3. honestly so gooooood
Absolutely, To Dance Again is my bop
I'm pretty sad that Ani is the least
okay so i’m not necessarily a harry potter fan but i watched the first two potter musicals because i LOVE starkid but Those Voices has honestly gotta be one of my favorite songs from starkid. like, the la’s are so fricking catchy and it’s so dark feeling but fun? i can’t explain it lmao
The Night Belongs to us wouldve been first for me, i freakin love it. Starkid (and TCB) act 1 closers are absolutely amazing and so hard to rank though omg
Same!!! That song is A MA Z I N G
Torture Tango will always be my favourite, but it's really hard to pick a "best" anything from starkid/ttb.
number 7 and up gets to what I call the goosebumps zone cause they're so well done, although I think that The Night Belongs To Us deserved higher than torture tango
Is this about how good they are as songs, or how well they close act one? Because either way Wagon on Fire deserves higher.
WE LOVE SEEING APPRECIATION FOR STATUS QUO AND THOSE VOICES!!!!!
Ok but like why does Dylan’s face at the end of Happy Ending always crack me up?
IM SO HAPPY WITH “I WAS” IT’S MY FAVE AVPSY SONG IM GONNA CRY SLDJDK
I’m sorry but With My Own Eyes is amazing and deserves better
Monsters & Men sweetie...you deserved more D:
I appreciate Torture Tango being up high tho, for sure
2:13
“All you gotta do is (next song) Take her to Paris~”
I'm just realising that nearly all of my favourite songs from each show is the act one closer
When i saw dance again so low I was shocked but then as list went on i just realized how good they all are.
Honestly Monsters and Men never gets enough credit, it’s so EFFING GOOD!! Curt’s short part is enough to make that song, my god he better SANG! Also, the end of Happy Ending never fails to give MAJOR chills and make me tear up, Twisted is the most beautiful starkid show, y’all can fight me on that!
thank you for giving me those voices rights i see so many people sleep on it and it’s one of my favourites
I watch these videos to see how my opinion differs to everyone else
Personally wagon on fire would be first
Also, thank you for rating those voices high as a lot of people don't like that song. But i love it.
the love for those voices here makes me so happy ❤❤❤ that song is gorgeous and has always stunned me
I would have rioted if Happy Ending wasn't 1st place.
I can’t believe how many good closers they have. Every song I was thinking “oh this should be higher” but then the next song came and I was like “ok but this is amazing”
Monsters and Men is amazeballs and I will die on this Hill. Jeff's voice is a fucking treasure.
I actually agree with the top five. Also so happy to see Happy Ending get the praise it deserves. It's a perfect 1st act close
Thank you for recognising my ultimate bop of starkid bops, Status Quo, it makes me tear up sooo much it's just so good ;_;
Yes finally Those Voices has a high ranking
that top 3>>>>>>>
those voices is my fav starkid song ever
"All you gotta do is-"
"-take her to Paris~~~"
Some of y’all haven’t let the cruel realities of adulthood bring you down into millennial-depression, and it shows through the severe underrated-ness of Monsters and Men.
i had a second of being upset about "i was" not being number one and then i remembered "happy ending" existed and immediately went "oh no yeah 100%"
I Was gives me so many feelings idk why it's just so _good_
the end of wagon on fire still gives me chills
please do act 2 openers! I feel like those songs are all pretty good.
I will be doing that one soon 🙂
You put my favorite 3 last. Ani has the best soundtrack of any SK musical how dare you.
after feeling how personally attacked i felt after seeing monsters and men and torture tango so low i think i've come to the realization that i am in fact in love with curt mega
Those Voices getting that deserved recognition
This video made me realise that so many times my favourite song from each show is the act one closure
I’ve never been a fan of those voices really, but with my own eyes😭😭 that’s top 5 for me and listen to your heart
I was so pleasantly surprised at how high Status Quo was, I feel like it's one of the lesser talked about numbers but it's one of my all time favorites!
you hardly ever see avpsy this high up on rankings but they really killed it with i was
Im glad to see that Status Quo is so high! Its one of my favourites
i love those voices it’s always been one of my favourite starkid songs, but i don’t think it’s very effective as a first act closing number - idk i guess it depends on what your criteria were for the ranking
YES! Those Voices is getting the recognition it deserves!! I love it so much!! I constantly have it stuck in my head!!
Why is it that the Firebringer songs always make me want to stand like it's the national anthem?
Monsters and Men is crimunally underrated. It's honestly in my top 5 starkid songs of all time and it always gets done so dirty on all these lists.
Why is Monsters and Men so low 😩 I also had no idea that everyone was there for the last bit
Status Quo always almost makes me cry idk why
Woah, they're all so shockingly amazing! My personal list:
1. Wagon On Fire (TTTO)
2. To Dance Again (AVPM)
3. Happy Ending
4. Status Quo (Starship)
5. Dynamic Duet (HMB)
6. I Was... (AVPSY)
7. The Night Belongs to Us (Firebringer)
8. Join Us and Die (TGWDLM)
9. Monsters and Men (Black Friday)
10. Torture Tango (SAF)
11. Listen to Your Heart (MAMD)
12. With My Own Eyes (Ani)
13. Those Voices (AVPS)
I have a bias for Torture Tango so when I saw it’s placement I got sad but honestly fair enough because all of the top five are absolutely brilliant
‘Happy Ending’ and ‘Wagon On Fire’ may have been the first two I thought of when seeing the title, but I completely love all of the ones that appeared in between those two on the ranking too. Damn, Starkid is just totally awesome at these
I think this is he highest I've seen When I was on any ranking list and I was so happy to see it finally get some recognition. Thank You!
THANK you, those voices never gets enough love
I'm so sad that two of my four faves, "With My Own Eyes" and "Monsters and Men", are the bottom two. ButI'm glad that the other two "Listen to Your Heart" and "Status Quo" are higher.
With almost all of the earlier ones I found myself thinking "But that's not fair!" Especially The Night Belongs to Us and To Dance Again, which along with Those Voices would probably be my top three. But all the Starkid/TCB act 1 closers are just so good, I understand your ranking too.
That flute at the end is everything
AVPSY finally getting the respect it deserves!!!
I've been waiting for a video like this for MILLENNIA
I was confused for a bit because to my count there’s 12 StarKid musicals and 2 TCB but this list only had 13 places then I finally remembered solve it squad has 2 songs
Monsters and men should be higher 😜
Monster and men is actually my favorite from bf
I always thought in wagon on fire she was saying when you got blood on your shit 😂
Me: is fully aware that I like Ani way more than most of the fandom
Me when I see Ani at the bottom of a list 🤯
Some of these are very hard to rank.
AVPS - Those Voices
HMB - The Dynamic Duet
MAMD - Listen to Your Heart
Spies Are Forever - Torture Tango
Firebringer - The Night Belongs to Us
AVPM - To Dance Again
Black Friday - Monsters and Men
Ani - With My Own Eyes
TTO - Wagon on Fire
TGWDLM - Join Us (and Die)
Twisted - Happy Ending
Starship - Status Quo
AVPSY - I Was
For me this is the most accurate thing ever... Apart from wagon on fire
When i saw this i was like a moment of silence for solve it squad
it has like 3 songs alas
the act 1 closing numbers are always sooooo good
Happy Ending is simply the best and no one can tell me otherwise
Those Voices in the top three? You're right and you should say it
Ok but wagon on fire is just 👌
If Status Quo and Happy Ending weren't in the Top 4 I was going to be very disappointed in this list!
How do you even rank these? They're all perfect in their own ways, I could never.
Firebringer may not be my favorite starkid musical, but Night Belongs to Us deserves 1
Me literally the entire video: omg why is this so far down??
Next song comes on
Me: oh that's why, yeah this song is a BOP!
So the biggest reason why Happy Ending deserves its placement is that it really is the only one that is actually written like an "end of act 1" song
May I make a video recommendation?: Starkid shows rated on how hilarious they are
