Six Musical - All You Wanna Do (Reaction!) : Behind the Curve Reacts 

Wait what other childish terms besides "birds and the bees" and "playtimes over"??? Those aren't it??

@@omgimanowl7888 those too, but also the way she never explicitly says/sings about sex or sexual things, making reference to fairy tales... It's sounds very young and innocent the way she described it and it's genius (sad, but genius), for its a reminder of how young she was when men began taking advantage of her...

She was around 16-18 but they are not 100% sure

@@omgimanowl7888 enoughsies is also

@@aquaticanimations9789 i think she actually says “enough, see”

Yeah I saw this live 2 weeks ago and it's way different than listening to the album. I was just like "oh damn they went there" also I appreciate Anna of Cleves "Get Down" way more having seen it live I think the US. cast did a great job.

ACTULLY AT THE START THE ALL YOU WANNA DO ALL YOU WANNA DO BABE

Exactly, and that isolation is exacerbated by the fact that the other queens don't look directly at her for the vast majority of the song. And when they do look at her, it is either with entirely blank expressions, or mild hostility. They made it in a way that those just... aren't the other queens anymore. Those are blank slates representing the isolating and predatory people in her life. It's equal parts brilliant and heartbreaking.

@@yumega I also take it to mean that not only did men take advantage of her, but the women around her were so unsupportive. Agnes Howard literally ignored her step-granddaughter getting molested, Lady Rochford despite being involved with the scandal tried to pin the blame on K Howard, and not to mention the amount of gossip at court spread around by some of the ladies within the court.

I think "Play times over" is also so insidious because she was a child when this all started. It literally stole her childhood, her girlhood from her. She stopped being a child to a large portion of society at such a young age.

not saying Anne deserved to die, but she did play with fire and she knew she was playing with fire. Out of all of them she was the least likely to win.

@@emilylewis5373 Actually Anne was married when Henry tried to marry her and there was a whole thing about him spreading rumors about her and trying to marry her dispite her being adamant that she wanted none of it.

@@emilylewis5373 the real anne was actually known to be polite and intellectual, and there is a lot of speculation that infidelity rumours were made up so henry could kill her for not bearing him a son

Anne wasn’t married, but she was set to marry another man who she truly loved. Most people believe she actually left court in order to escape Henry when he showed interest in her. Also, there’s no evidence she ever cheated on Henry, she was likely beheaded because she couldn’t give him a son and because she tried to get too involved in politics.

@@emilylewis5373 her uncle, k howard's dad, forced her into the relationship And then forced his OWN daugther into a relationship with him knowing she'll get killed just like his niece anne 🤡

Saw the UK tour and that's the only time I've seen polite, uncomfortable clapping be the result of a performance being very effective.

I agree no claps needed for this song because of the nature of the song but you also really can't just not clap for that kind of performance. I mean specifically for Sam's version I mean the acting choices, the singing technique, it's so good it's hard not to clap. but yeah, this song starts out fun but then when you see the realization in her face as the song progresses it will really break your heart into pieces.

I was too busy ugly crying to clap lol I felt so bad but that last moment just fucking SLAYED ME

I saw this in the US tour. After this song, the audience was silent for several moments as everyone just sat there in shock. It was absolutely silent. Then, a slow clap started and the audience burst into the loudest applause of the whole musical. It was one of the most insane moments of my time watching musical theater

I just saw them in Vegas and the audience didn't start clapping until after the lights came back up.

Even the young, naive ones hit hard imo. It's like she was definitely used and manipulated, but more using her youthfulness & naivety against her.

@@Zarsla sure that approach can be impactful as well. Neither one is bad.

@@Zarsla sure that approach can be impactful as well. Neither one is bad.

Sam imo gives both directions, she starts off as young and naïve and then shows her as what she was abused and then defeated in the end

@@sylvia7777 I should have added “only” naive and young and flirtatious. Sam is my favorite to watch preform this even if she is not my favorite vocalist to sing the song. She does a brilliant job of visibly showing the turn from youth and being naive to very much abused and desperate and unable to change anything about her fate and situation

Same…

Same

Ayyy nice pfp owo

@@marieso2293 twins!!!!

Agreed! The main reason I prefer the West End version is Boleyn. Not that the Broadway performance is bad - the actress does an amazing job - but a lot of nuance got lost across the pond.

Well, she got to marry him later, I think, and he wasn't great either and then she died after giving birth.

yah, The man she married almost raped Princess Elizabeth (later Elizabeth the first).

@@emilylewis5373 about to comment this

I would disagree, Katherine was literally groomed, sexually assaulted and raped starting at the age of 12 till her death. And her death was a horrible one too, she was beheaded for being raped……that’s just awful

All contemporary accounts of her death say/imply that it only took one blow, I think people get confused with Katherine and Mary Queen of Scots who was beheaded in three strokes.

@@punchingdragon3666 Really sorry I didn't know I'll change it now thanks

@@Godhelpme666 it's ok, I see this misconception alot, It's hard to separate what's true and what's not when looking at history.

Also there's an account of Elizabeth saying that she saw Katherine as playmate than a mother figure... 😢

right?! i got hooked because i found the melody beat and vocal performance of this amazing but I didn't exactly knew all of the lyrics and when I actually paid attention to the lyrics....oh jeez it actually made me a little nauseous.

As someone who was sexually abused a lot as a child I see myself in Katherine. It made me cry cause I always jsut brush it off but it hurts.

Yep :c

@@MiyuTheFallenAngel I'm sorry that happened too you. I hope you are doing better now.

And the more you listen the more nuances you find. After repeatedly listening I actually find the saddest part to be in the beginning. "Ever since I was a child I'd make the boys go wild" As if she was responsible for the actions of these "boys?" (aka grown men)...

That’s Samantha for you. Every performance I’ve seen by others of this song are great, and each have their own unique way of expressing the tragedy of Howard… but Sam absolutely mastered the song. How she goes from playful, through frustrated, to anger and pain all while keeping her singing to match those emotions is absolutely phenomenal. I’m so glad she got the call and accepted the role (did you know she almost gave up on her dream of performing on broadway? This role was her breakthrough, and I’m so glad she didn’t give up!)

That was closer to the age she was when she married Henry between the age of 16-18, and 19-21 when she died.

She was 19-20 when she died

16-17 meeting & marrying henry, and she was 19ish when she was beheaded fucking heartbreaking

@@rainbowrose2048 omg i read that wrong and thought it said “breathtaking” i was like WHAT NOOO

@@yuhgetittoit9269 I mean it did end with Henry taking her breath away

We don’t know Mannox’s age, but it was mid 20s

I do have to say tho that she said publicly before being executed, "Today I die the queen, but I would rather have died Culpepper's wife!" Or something along that line. Who knows if that's correct, I have a feeling it was & honestly I think he might've been genuine in his feelings. I hope so. That girl was so failed by her family/guardians. And Henry... Don't even get me started.

@@leaveittoweaver4525 they've found recently that that is a myth, her final speech was actually petty average, she asked them to pray for her, asked that her family would not be punished and that her servants would be given a gift, and that was really it. The poor thing was too scared to say anything else. That speech has been thought to be fact for a while, but I think it's a myth. Either way I still feel bad for her considering her childhood abuse and lack of supervision and any kind of real love. Sorry if that sounded rude, I just thought I'd mention it.

This is why I wish I went "he was 33" instead of 23, I think the changed it to have not so many "th" sounds, but it does minimise the age gap

I find it heartbreaking how she was so intent on always trying to do things right that she asked for the block to be delivered to her cell the night before her execution so she could practice putting her head on it right.

She was 19!! Not even 20 so sad

@@MEDSZ13.08 Well historians aren’t sure when she was born as they couldn’t find her Certificate of Christening, which was basically a birth certificate at the time, but believe she was anywhere from 19-23.

@@andysmith5806 she's actually assumed to be 16-19, she never reached 20, there's documents stating she never reached 20 (some diary or official note idk), but her official age was never known

@@Nyx_404 if she got married to Henry as young as 16 that doesn’t really leave space for the Frances Derham thing seeing that she was 13 with Henry Mannox

@@andysmith5806 she died at 19 she got married to Harry around 17

Yeah the studio album is much more of a pop record - Aimee on stage is just as dramatic and heartbreaking as this is !

@@norasshelfdiscovery7883 Absolutely, the first time that I watched Aimee perform the song I cried. The way it gets darker and darker and she eventually breaks down is heartbreaking.

Yeah. There’s no emotion

I agree! While I personally prefer the West End cast (past and present) I do think that Sam Pauly is one of the best K Howards

@@norasshelfdiscovery7883 They did that on purpose didn't they? the same way any concert is slightly different to the recorded version they recorded the songs just as recordings then when they perform them they're slightly different for the sake of the stage and the story, I dont actually like this song from the album but I loved it on stage. it's so cleverly done. imagine being the writers going from the Edinburgh fringe to west end, broadway, ships ... so so good

From the several versions I have watched and read the comments of (so take this with a grain of salt), apparently the "affair" wasn't even the main reason for being beheaded but her being "damaged goods" because she wasn't a virgin when Henry took her. I forgot his name but the last guy allegedly blackmailed her because he knew about her "impurity" at marriage.

Most accounts say she was 17 when she died

Sadder even, she could have been as young as 17.

@@megannnB historians approximate her age to be between 17 and 24 when she died. Henry's marriage with Catalina of Aragon was probably older than Katherine's age when she died.

@@helenemuscagorry244 from my research I found 16-21. This is just what I found though.

The creepy thing was that she was saying she going to get married when she was still a child... Its something predators STILL use today. The "I love you s much, I just had to" thing... Look it up, its a manipulative tactic. What really gets me with this song is how reminiscent the lyrics are of when your a young teen talking with your friends about boys and boyfriends. It actually sounds like we used to and it just adds to the shock value. For me it really adds to the impact of the message.

@@animehuntress9018 it's been used by ignorant people on TikTok, even, to show off their new boyfriends "Yeah, that didn't work out. So I decided to have a break from boys, and you'll never guess who I met" Well, girls on TikTok, I hope it ends a little better for you than it did for her-

@@juliasings6131 Yikes, just yikes. I guess them not realizing what the lyrics are about is a good thing. It does mean they've never had something like that happen to them... but innocence has a limit, and ouch that's gotta hurt once they realize. I find this song and don't loose your head to be rather ironic in some ways. The cheerful music that is reminiscent of my teen years also is a bit... so yeah I love what they did with this musical and love the depth. I really wish I'd been able to see it live.

@@animehuntress9018 it's less about them not knowing the interpretation of the song and more that they just take a few lyrics that sound good and take them Ig it's a good thing but I also find it kinda sad that they can't figure it out when they get to 'tall, large, Henry the eighth"

Sort. They (mainly her great aunt) stopped the wedding because of francis position, not the age. If you were in your teens you could marry, but it was rare.

Yes!! This song saved me. Literally. In so many ways. I love this precisely because it makes me remember not to trust people so easily. Continued abuse is a thing. I really hope it has the same effect on other girls. 🥺💕

This also speaks to Men who were abused as boys, it hurts to listen to, cause I can still remember the touch... So yeah, it's a great song I love it.

It’s why it’s so fitting that her inspiration was Brittany Spears and Ariana Grande. Two women that were heavily sexualized as children.

Omg, seriously!? This is horrible. She was abused, and men laughed?

I know, I heard it when I watched a different version. Like how could you find that funny when it was- or should be- so obvious what the song was about, and what that move specifically symbolized. Pissed me off.

this is so accurate.

I despise the fact that people treat a child like that

I’ve read a few opinions of her by historians, and some (especially from the early 20th century) say that she was quite the troublemaker, and one even claims she was as much as a predator as Francis Dereham was… Let that sink in. She was a child, for crying out loud! Like, I don’t care how badly you despise children and their behaviour, you don’t say things like that! Even if it was true, and unless someone invents a Time Machine and go back to find out for sure, we’ll never truly find out, but even then, that’s still flat out abuse! Taking advantage of a child like that, in my book, is the most disgusting act anyone can do. I went to see SIX two weeks ago, and I cannot believe why I let myself wait so long. Phenomenal experience, tragic, entertaining, heart wrenching, hilarious. It really makes you think and forget about the passing of time, while still being the most entertaining show I have seen for a very long time. The “international sensation” title is well deserved! I cannot recommend seeing the show live enough. If it’s not on your list of things to do, then what are you Eve doing with your life? All queens had really entertaining songs and were quite enjoyable, while still making you think about what they went through. Then this song came on. Laughing my ass off during her intro (when she talks about the other queens’ songs). Nice rhythm, great vocals, really got the “K Howard is here and fun’s begun” going. “And even when I was a child, I made the boys go wild” Wait, hang on… that’s… okay, I guess if we’re being careful, we could say stuff like that… And as the song went on, the childish descriptions of the things she did and men were doing to her, just got more and more disturbing. The ending though. Yeah there was still an applause, but I’m convinced it was for the performance, out of respect. Each song got an ovation before, but this time you could really feel something was different. I was in tears. So many emotions, and to think that not only was she abused, but it started when she was a child and never stopped then got the blame by some men who can’t keep their sausage in their pants is just… and how many we don’t even hear about? Even today… “Yeah those were different times back then” I’m not so sure. And I do applaud each and every lady who played K Howard, because this is without a doubt the hardest song in the whole play. Then seeing Samantha Pauly perform it? She just takes the song to a whole new level. By far my favourite performance, because not only her voice is perfect, her control is spot on, she really puts the emotions where they should be.

some things never change, do they? it's sad, honestly.

@@bruhseriously9297 I know, it's disgusting and awful 😞

this song is so triggering for a lot of people, including me. i saw some people leave the theatre before the last chorus and come back after. its so sad.

Do you know which one?

Isn’t that Jodie Steele?

I see why! She must have had really bad trust issues, I bet some people in the crowd might have related to her song and that was partly why it was silent after

you’re very strong! i know you will heal and live a long healthy and beautiful life. i send you love❤️

You are so strong and you will do amazing at healing yourself. I totally get what you mean, and I've never thought of it that way but it has helped me feel better about my experience too. I send you all the love I can, you will heal and become better xx

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting Anne’s mom was a Howard

And Katherine’s mom was a Culpepper 😓

Also I think both Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard share a grandma with Jane Seymour.

Then jane is also related to them And then parr married jane's brother Aragon and cleeves are not related just because they are foreigners... all the UK royalty and nobles were related

mannox was like in his 30's idk why they changed his age

They're awesome 💕😭

I once read, don't know if it's historically accurate,but Henry had an amateur behead her and he did a bad job. So she was in extreme pain and he had to chop it again. If that's true, that's even sadder
