Top 3 Singers (My Opinion)

Freddie Mercury. Pretty Obvious, but great vocals that are displayed in both Don't Stop Me Now and even more in Bohemian Rhapsody. He also showed A great display of being able to do multiple styles, from fast paced to slow and long, high and low. No one in my opinion is better than him and never will be. Listen to any of Queen's songs and you'll hear what I'm talking about.

Chris Cornell. Singer for Soundgarden and then Audioslave and doing some covers like Patience and others, he has got a rich and such a strong voice that if I listen to any of his and his bands songs, I'm gonna be singing along, and having a great time doing it. My dad showed me "Like A Stone" and when I hear it, it reminds me of him.

Dan Reynolds. Singer and Vocalist for Imagine Dragons (one of, if not my favourite bands), fricking strong voice, but can be gentle at the same time. He can contrast, from the chorus of "Warriors" to the verses of "Demons". Also he is the only one in my top three that isnt dead.

Black Angel

One of the crown princes of film noir, Dan Duryea, gets an acting showcase in Roy William Neill’s BLACK ANGEL (1946, TCM, YouTube). As an alcoholic pianist and composer who keeps falling for the wrong woman, he has a rare sympathetic role. He gets some terrific drunk scenes, but also has some beautifully delicate moments as he falls for leading lady June Vincent.

Vincent’s husband is spotted leaving the apartment of Duryea’s estranged wife, singer Constance Dowling, and convicted of her murder because she was blackmailing him. The reason for the blackmail is never stated, though it’s implied (this is under the Production Code, after all) that they had had a fling. With the police (headed by homicide chief Broderick Crawford) convinced he did it, Vincent takes it upon herself to find the real culprit. She enlists Duryea’s help, so they get jobs performing at Peter Lorre’s nightclub, because Duryea had seen him going into his late wife’s building before the murder. It’s all highly improbable but also highly entertaining.

The film represents a fascinating combination of good work and some of Hollywood’s worst conventions. Neill and cameraman Paul Ivano create rich, expressive visuals with a strong emphasis on the way décor reflects character, from Vincent’s homey suburban house to Dowling’s over-decorated apartment and Lorre’s sleek, modernistic nightclub. The script — based on a Cornell Woolrich novel loosely adapted by Roy Chanslor, who later wrote the novels “Johnny Guitar” and “Cat Ballou” — is rife with details that reflect or comment on character and in some cases point to the twist ending. If you listen closely and possess a degree of cultural literacy, he actually cues you in to whodunnit. And the performances are all top-notch, which makes it sad that strong actors like Vincent and Dowling didn’t have more prominent careers.

But then Hollywood throws in some absurd touches by modern standards. Dowling sings with her own voice, but Vincent is dubbed with a rich contralto that’s no match for her higher-pitched speaking voice. And though you can see there’s only a small jazz ensemble behind her at the club, the accompaniment is positively symphonic. Given the Production Code’s attitude toward divorce and the 1940s construction of woman, Vincent can’t entertain the idea of dumping her unfaithful husband once she’s saved him, even with the more attractive and supportive Duryea waiting in the wings. Couldn’t they have at least cast a younger and better-looking actor as the husband to provide some visual reason for her dogged devotion? Her devotion is just a given, though the husband is so poorly defined and the blackmail so pointless (since Vincent won’t leave him even after finding out he cheated), he’s almost a McGuffin. The one thing that slipped under the censors’ noses was Lorre’s characterization as the club owner. Although he’s revealed to have had a secret daughter, who apparently doesn’t know he exists, and seems to be enamored of Vincent (but then, SPOILERS), he's also rather close to the club’s bouncer (former boxer Freddie Steele), who consistently lights his cigarettes for him. Makes you wonder.

Alice Cooper: The Last Temptation (1994)

The Last Temptations story was given in a three-part comic book written by Neil Gaiman, the first part of which accompanied the recording. In the comic, the showman was depicted as Cooper himself. Pages from the comic are seen in the Lost in America music video, while it is being read by Steven.

It was originally published by Marvel Comics and later reprinted by Dark Horse Comics, collected as trade paperback.

Have you seen Calxiyn Cares Too Much's videos (on YouTube) on Hazbin Hotel's songs & why a lot of them don't work the best?

It's been a bit since I've watched them, but she's apparently got some theatre credits to her name & has made super in depth break downs (sometimes literally syllable by syllable) on why several of the Hazbin songs are clunky & whatnot. If you can't quite put your finger on why a certain part of a song felt off, her videos might help if needed!

I look forward to reading your next break downs on Hazbin/Helluva things, it's always a pleasure to see your posts on my dashboard!

I appreciate you Anon, as I have never heard of this creator before. I have been listening to musical theory through creators like Sideways, Astor Rhymemaster, Jonah Who Two, Charles Cornell, and Maxwell Greene. I also try to intertwine their knowledge of music and musicals into the broader circuit of multi-media technicalities conveyed through creators like Lindsey Ellis and Dan Olsen.

I will definitely look into Calxiyn's videos and I will be referencing most if not all of these creators throughout the essay as well. As I said, I do not have the ethos of being a professional in this field, but I am fascinated by concepts like music theory and perhaps my essay can contribute to a sharing of knowledge and draw attention to the actual professionals who have taught me.

I am always open to recommendations. Please never shy from reaching out.

it is VERY IMPORTANT that everyone is aware of the absolute girlboss that is wisdom the laysan albatross, the world’s oldest wild bird! she’s 73 and still returning to midway island to lay eggs each year.

scientists estimate she’s flown at least 3 million miles in her lifetime and laid 50-60 eggs, with 30 chicks fledged. for the past two years her mate hasn’t returned to midway island, and she’s been seen participating in courtship dances with albatrosses several decades younger than her.

wisdom has recently just laid a new egg!
