RE: Things I Don't Understand About Musicals

in #rant8 years ago

I like musicals, The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins and I cannot remember anymore.Oh I liked that cartoon from last year Sing as well.
In Jamaica when we are on the buses just one random person need to start signing a gospel song then other people start to sing and shout "amen" and "hallelujah".
Also their is this man who walks around with a small "boom box" he sings and play music and people give him money. No magic or aliens in that, even phones can play really loud music nowadays.
Lastly we have street parties here, you are just walking on the street and you see a big crowd and in the center there is music and people dancing. Just for the fun if you think you can dance or you want to "upstage" the person you can join. Of course you know the dance moves, they are making very hot music videos nowadays with all the latest dance moves and stuff.
People in Jamaica like to "build a vibe" as they call it. They are not as organized as the movies or even good singers but they like to have fun. So yeah I like musicals, except the opera.
I went to one because I thought I would here some good singing and boy was I traumatized. This one lady on the stage for most of it singing German in high pitch. And even when they did the group signing I still hated it.

That's nice that people love to have fun and they will start singing along and dancing along just for the fun of it. But that's not what we see in a majority of places.
