Hilarious how people still believe the Bucks won’t put over FTR but in reality FTR won’t put over the Bucks.

i was just thinking a couple of days ago how i need to find "for the right reasons" and reread it. and it would not be the first time

Oh thank you!! God, rereading it, it’s got some wild and wonderful little twists. 😂 But overall there’s some things I wish I could go back and tighten up.

anyway! I’m having fun watching the new season of the Bachelorette. And every episode, I’m like, what if I did write the Liam season…………… 😂 I am not one to return to a story or a world after I’ve posted it but this one is actually sort of tempting.

every so often i’ll become obsessed with a specific song from a musical and michael ball always has a version of said song thank you king 🙏

So now I'm back in France, back to work, after a week-end (well, four days) spent in Como and Milan heading to The Reunion Concert premiering in Europe, and I need to talk about it more.

I've been a music fan for ever, I love to sing and I take singing lessons and musical theatre is a huge part of my life now (even though you could say it's quite "recent", in a way, at least the deep passion and connection that makes me want to listen to MT all day long every day and see 152 shows). I live in France, and even if we have a small community that enjoys musical theatre, it's not that easy to see your favorite performers. Unless of course you want to focus all your money on going to London, or, in that case, Milan.

That's what I did and I have no regret what so ever. Last november, I went to see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at the Palladium (Ramin & Hadley) and last monday, I was in Milan to see the Reunion, because I love this artists very much, the way they do and love music, musical, the way they share their love and talents on stage, the way you can jump in a huge theatre and find yourself laughing at jokes just the way you would do with a friend in a random coffee place or restaurant, the way you end up harmonising on a song or cheering to another. The emotions they give you by showing up and singing with their hearts, is something I'm immensely grateful for.

I must confess, of all of them, Hadley really is my favorite if I had to chose one. He's immensely talented, his voice is perfect and never underwhelming, his acting so powerful and emotional. A perfect technique serving an incredible interpretation on every song he ever sings. His voice can be soothing and then make you feel angry or powerless depending on the materiel he's defending. I discovered him in POTO 25th but honestly, every thing he does, I just love, including his album and original music. Add to that a very nice british humour and an ease to sit before an instrument, be it the guitar or the piano, and it's honestly all I wish I could hear.

That being said, Ramin is also an amazing performer and human being. Of course, Samantha is as perfect of a performer that you'd expect her to be, easing into a powerful belt and well fitted for both Elsa and Eponine. Also, their friendships are just a pleasure to witness, and the fact that they would so kindly let you in for a three hours show is just incredibly humbling and nice.

A moved and passionnate word for Holly, who I had the luck to see as Christine twice and OMG, and attended one of her mastercalsses once, she's an amazing human being and honestly took the songs as a great performer with an angelic but strong and deep high voice. She's very nice to listen too and never fails to deliver.

Earl was immensely funny, accepting to play the role of a guy who's left out but giving impressive and scary looks on Stars and finding his way into A bit of Earth (he was apparently Archibald in the Scottish Premiere of the show Secret Garden !).

And to finish on the performers, I have another confession to make -- I didn't know much about Natalie apart from her singing Heart of Stone from Six the Musical (love the song, never saw the musical cause I'm more into old and legit oups). On stage, she was amazing. Powerful, emotionnal, very cute and humble, looking radiant and happy, and her voice, omg, what a power house. She killed it singing Never Enough. I'll definitely try to see more of her in the future.

Regarding the songs, they were all very well chosen, of course, but here are a few comments that come to my mind :

Ramin & Holly duetted on "Never Love you Again" (Post Malone) and it was great!! loved every second of it

A Bit of Earth is one of my fav song ever (Hadley WAS Archibald Craven

Happy sad by Hadley and Ramin, omg??? the FEELS ?

We got the right to sing Just let go with Hadley, harmonising with him just like we did in FTRR and it's so nice

Never Enough sang by Natalie

Holly and Sam renditing of What is this feeling was SO GOOD and fun??? and Earl, Hadley and Natalie came along to do the backing vocals and it was SO FUNNY

Hadley played the piano for Holly to sing Another life from Bridges of Madison County

They skipped Feed the birds tho :(

Holly singing Love never dies

Last word of love for the Director and musicians, they were amazing.

Wish I could see it all again, honestly. Wish they would record it, and record an album of it for us to listen to and go back to. Maybe they'll go to London at some point, cause honestly, the entire world needs to witness those talented, humble and beautiful people. They filled my heart with joy and love for MT.

Of course, my dream casting would be them alternating in each role, like they discussed in FTRR: Tokyo about alternating Valjean/Javert.

ok i need to know something,,, i know both ramin and hadley have played judas in jcs but if they were ever cast opposite each other who would play who

Another reason why I love the Young Bucks is that they tell stories unlike no other. They really work out the mechanics of a successful storyline, one that makes you laugh, cry, or angry — really any emotion, and you just want more of it. Even in TNA where they were split up, they still made you feel everything even if it wasn’t in the best situation. Their minds work consistently and when you think you figured it out, they’re always five steps ahead, believe me. I spent 20 years trying to decipher the Young Bucks and analyze their shenanigans and you can get close but you’ll never fully get it.

You can make assumptions or even come up with theories and you’ll never get close to what they truly were meaning to convey.

And I LOVE that. I love being made to think outside of the box. No tag team or person will come close to the Young Bucks and their enigmatic legendary mind. ♥️

Some examples: BTE, “FTRR”, Twitter bios, etc.

Better than Backstreet, N’Sync, 98 Degrees..The Elite 😂😂I can’t imagine how confusing this might be for people who aren’t familiar with wrestling or BTE in particular, this might be confusing for WWE-only fans as well lmao. But at least we’re finally getting an album from Marty! Lol
