That was some of the greatest camerawork and cinematography I have ever seen, your cameraman should win some kind of award for that, in my entirety unbiased opinion
Struggling to put into words how much i love this but I'M GONNA TRY! Musically, i think i prefer the official album, but from a story standpoint, this version wins in a LANDSLIDE. The official album (lets just call it II from this point onward) is fun to just bop to, but X feels so much more emotionally charged. The way Stella feels more integral, almost as though she's communicating with/guiding Simon from beyond the grave; the slight imperfections in some vocal moments, which feels more real; the orchestrations??? Just such an amazing cover album. White Ball hit me in the feels like it never has before, because i can actually understand the dialogue!! You and Vella play off of each other so well, and the dialogue is so charming, I think this is the most I've ever cared about Simon and Stella because the dialogue is so sweet! As i said, Stella being included more is a great call, and their undying love for each other is so much more powerful than when we dont know how she feels like in II. Overall, 12/12! Such a spectacular reimagining of an amazing album!
Gonna put my thoughts on this after fully listening as a Hawaii part ii mega fan Some of the instrumentation was nice, murders didn’t rlly feel like murders and labyrinth felt very different, so it was something new. The vocals weren’t great, reading the comments had me having high hopes for this, only to be met with some disappointment, I can see that you guys did enjoy it but it felt very lazy and sloppy, kinda half assed. Some of the notes weren’t right and when a note was held it just sounded awful.. saying this as someone who has a music teacher who constantly makes me hit notes way too high or way too low for me, i know she would be majorly disappointed… it feels like the singers have very little experience Overall, not planning on listening to this again, it wasn’t that good
AHHH THE GIGGLING DURING WHITE BALL (8:23) MAKES IT FEEL LIKE ITS JUST SIMON AND STELLA IN A ROOM DANCING AND SINGING IM GONNA CRY THIS IS SO CUTE AND SAD
I’ve never heard her referred to as Stella that’s so interesting. But thanks! Honestly eventually I’d love to completely redo these as imo they’re not great and hammer in the story even more
I listened to the whole thing, and having read the comments you would think this cover was the best thing since sliced bread. Although I give everyone involved the credit they’re due, I just cannot get over the singers. They don’t have vocal range. This album demands high and low keys that the singers are just too amateur to reach. In short, the singing is just awful 😢 great try, I wanted to like this. Alas, it seems you got plenty of fans so keep practicing your singing and keep making art.
this !! I’m on labyrinth rn and I had such high hopes for this cover after reading the comments, they aren’t hitting the right notes and for the held notes, they cannot do it right to save their life, the instrumentation sounds great but the vocals just sound rlly lazy and half assed
For sure the best part about recording the skits was the failed attempts. I can't wait to do more of this kind of stuff in the future whether for the channel or just for fun lol
