Vocal Coach Reacts | Ride the Cyclone: Sugar Cloud 

The carnie thing is rly sad, especially when you remember she died when she was 17!!! She wasn't even able to consent yet..

My theory is that the first time she rode the Cyclone was when she died on it, the reason it is her favorite is cause it helped her realise how good her life actually was, and that she doesn't need more than what she already had

The thing that really hits with this monologue, aside from the whole thing in general, is that Karnak tells the audience just before that Constance's favourite ride was The Cyclone. She died on her favourite ride 😢 On a lighter note, it's a pretty popular theory that the choir had more control over their movement/choreo in Sugar Cloud than in the other songs, because we have moments where they all freestyle with Constance. I won't spoil the potential reasons why in case you want to watch the whole show, but at the beginning he gives them a quick little demo of him controlling their actions with the line "Don't bore us, get to the chorus." It's a fun little way to explain why these dead teens are all suddenly able to dance around in such a stylised way. I love this song so much 😊 Also, I recommend reacting to It's Not A Game/It's Just A Ride. Probably after the rest of the songs might be best, but honestly it's such a good song that I don't think it matters too much. It's the last song of the show though, so the choice is yours ^-^ The symbolism and the story-telling of that song is so good imo. Edit: Oh! Also also, another sad thing, I always get the vibes that when she says "so you suck some more" she's not just talking about sucking on a jawbreaker (or a gobstopper, which is what they're called in England ^^) but she's also just talking about how she feels that _she_ sucks. I've made myself sad again now, aha 😅

10:57 idk why but it’s so adorable that she let Jane hold the microphone!!

Honestly my favorite part of this song is the recorder because 1. Jane holds the microphone which is so sweet!! And 2. Mischa and Noel who are tipsy during this song dancing in the silliest ways possible

Constance's monologue always gives me goosebumps. this is such an underrated song, glad you're reacting to it!! (congrats on the twins, too!)

If it wasn’t for Jane Constance would be the one that deserves to be revived the most

I also just realised, the blue-ish purple light turns onto Constance as the music starts, maybe to fool us into thinking it’ll be a sad song, but the lights dramatically switch to warmer, happier tones, reaching their brightest when the confetti falls. Lighting is such a subtle but awesome tool. Edit: not blue, it’s a bit purple, which gives us a hint it’s not all blue and sad ahead of time

I adore that you can see and hear and thus feel Constance gain confidence and energy throughout her song, especially having all her friends surrounding her and supporting her

Her monologue always makes me cry☹️

I swear that I’m never recovering from RTC. I’m too attached to all the characters. 😭And Constance was friggin amazing

constance is such an amazing character and i love this song so much (not to mention the alto representation). the ensemble is also amazing in this, little details like noel and mischa head banging together during her recorder solo (nischa❤️) or the way they all take form of a choir at the beginning, or even mischa grabbing the party popper for the confetti (14:05) anyways even tho everyone else is saying to react to “its not a game/it’s just a ride” (which makes me cry every time no joke) i recommend watching the full show now bc there’s lots of little details in that song that will mean a lot more when you know the full story. on another note, congratulations with your babies!! they’re adorable! i know you’ll be a great mom❤️

Ok, so If you want to react to more rtc songs, I would recommend either uranium suite or fall fair suite. They are essentially two different songs for the same thing. Fall fair suite is the old one that used to be used, and uranium suite is the one on the cast recording. They both are the first song they sing together telling the story of their death. I definitely prefer fall fair suite but uranium suite is good too! They are so similar yet so different at the same time!

I love Constance too, Sugar Cloud is beautiful, and her monologue always makes me cry

Please say you’ll watch the finale song!!! (from this version of the musical! Since the musical hasn’t been finalized the musical has changed over the years and this is the version that went viral)

Constance’s monologue always makes me cry

“i want to live in the rtc ensemble” omg same ✋✋

You still have a few other group songs left to react to. But when your done PLEASE PLEASE watch the production as a whole. It you like the songs already it’s so amazing seeing it all come together with a story line

It's not a game/it's just a ride is the last song in ride the cyclone and the whole thing of it is like the choir trying to comfort each other after everything has happened I'd really recommend that one

If you want another (heart-raking) song, then I completely suggest “Incomplete” from a series called “Sanders sides”! It’s a series where a man named Thomas Sanders talks to the different facets of his personality, like his deciet, anxiety, creativity, etc! The same guy does his own songs and covers! Like “Landslide”(a cover) and his own song “Recipe for me” :)

I just realized that Ricky gave Constance the microphone he used in “ space age bachelor man “

You need to listen to “it’s just a ride”. It’s not sad but it makes me cry every single time I listen to it because it really brings the story to a beautiful end.

I JUST recently started giving Sugar Cloud more of a listen and I adore it so much. This is perfect timing!!

This song (just like basically every other character's song did) made me BAWL so hard for kind of a really personal reason: the recorder. In my mind, I associate recorders with childhood, the inherent silliness and innocence of kids. It's pure nostalgia in sound form. And to hear it in a song about realising that you were right to be happy as a child? That's so relatable to me and hits so hard.

saw someone say that the line "i see the gold i see the pink i see the blue" references the cyclone crashing at around sunset

I just notice that most of the song have something to do with their favorite rides, in Sugar Cloud you can tell it’s a carousel. With Ocean how in bumper cars your mean to people by hitting them and she was making fun of the choir. Noel’s was the Ferris Wheel and at the end of his song people are going up and down. Ricky’s was the Graviton which is space his song is about space. Lastly Mischa’s was the shoot range and his first song was about rage. Idk if this is a good thing or I’m just stupid lol

There's a plot theory that I saw and this is the only time/song everyone(the choir group) danced on their own. All the other times they were forced to but not this one. Just a fun interesting theory.

I CLICKED SO FAST

i know the first mischa's song (you reacted to the second one before he has two) is VERY HEAVY on autotune but i think there are still a lot of interesting things happening, I love your reactions to RTC and i love your explaining, i am learning so much here

Omg finally!! This is my favourite song in the musical I’m so so glad you’ve reacted to this one :DD (P.S. The title says “sound” instead of “sugar”, not sure if you noticed)

oh my goodness your babies are absolutely adorable, congratulations!!! im glad to see you back :D best of luck to you and your little ones ❤️

omg welcome back, and congratulations on the babies they're so cute!! ❤ don't feel pressured at all to post, stay safe!!

Congrats! Hope everything has and will go well for you and the little ones (and that you don’t get too sleep deprived!). This has to be one of my favourite songs from the musical. So excited you’ve got round to it😄

seeing you react to ride the cyclone makes me so thrilled, especially as a professional vocal coach giving your comments and stuff is super cool. I'm a singer and I've learned so much from your videos :)) also i think it would be super cool if next you reacted to the finale song "it's not a game/it's just a ride" from ride the cyclone, it's probably in my top 3 from the musical and I'd love to hear what you'd have to say about it!

Congrats on the twins!!!!! They are so precious, absolutely adorable. Love the names! ❤🎉

IM EARLY AND HAVENT WATCHED YET BUT OMG IM SO EXCITED I LOVE THIS SONG

This song is one of my favorites from RTC because it shows the theme of the musical, live being a roller-coaster. Mostly with here sad to happy/sad monologue then a happy up beat song makes you have a lot of emotion! Thank you for reacting to it! :)

I love these videos and i can't wait for you to see the full musical and check everything you noticed in the songs

A year late but when Constance was playing the instrument, Noel and Mischa the two in the back, are supposed to be tipsy which I find really funny

I'm glad to see you back! I hope you and your family are doing well!

Congratulations on the newborns! I don't know if you alredy awnserd this but I really hope you react to "nee birthday song" it happens right after the ballad of jane doe chronologically, and while it's short it is such a sweet song and just overall moment for the characters

i love this series!! i would love to see you react to uranium sweet or its just a ride!!

I’m a really big fan of a bunch of musicals, and I was wondering, maybe you could react to “all you wanna do” from six the musical or “seventeen” or “beautiful” from heathers. :)

before you said you were trying not to wake the babies, i could tell you were talking quieter than the other videos but i thought "wow, she must have been really really affected by the monologue" lol

I’m playing Constance in my local theater. I’m so excited to perform this!!

PLEASE do fall fair suite!! it is one of my favorite songs in the musical

I love your hair in this video, its gorgeous!!🫶🏻congrats, your two little ones are adorable!!🥰 and dw about crying over it, it makes me tear up every time😅

Congratulations on the new babies!!

Would love to hear your analasys of "Karnak's Dream of Life", also from Ride the Cyclone.

OMG IM SO HAPPY ITS OUT NOW!!!

so glad youre back! :) your babies are so cute!

Oh my goodness , yay! Welcome back and love your reactions!

I still get a chill every time I listen to that song

Omg you saying you love constance made me think of Ocean right before "I love you guuuuuuuys"

I just saw this live in Washington DC the other day and was sitting near the front and got some confetti as a souvenir from this song.. Btw, Ashley, there's nothing wrong with crying! You are so cute! I'm really enjoying your reactions and find them to be really informative. Thanks! ❤️❤️

Love her work in this song

I’d recommend fall fair suite, all of them sing in it so you get to really hear their voices together 🙏

Sugar Cloud 😭

6:41 you know we got em when you can hear the shakiness in the voice while explaining to maintain ✨ professionalism ✨ Jokes aside good to know you loved the musical as us Cyclone fans (and you watched the musical! Which I am VERY late to ahaha). I enjoyed you breaking down the methods used in their songs, good luck to future projects

I'm kinda late for this but congrats on your babies! They're so cute! And really nice video! Sugar Cloud is my favorite RTC song :)

Constance has the same birthday as me haha (we also share the same problems too)

Omg I feel like I’m showing my aunt my new interest and like trying to get her approval, amazing videos 👍👍👍

YOUR MAKEUP LOOKS AMAZING IN THIS

I love that you actually only talk over while the video is playing when you actually needs something important to say, you don't talk over endlessly about something irrelevant. And i love how you use texts when you don't wanna talk over while reacting, IT'S THE MOST GENIUS REACTING VIDEO IDEA I've seen( and im not even exaggerating). But be careful with the stickers though like ( 5:40 ). There was this time a few years ago, that i overused stickers and people said I'm "millennial coded" and i thanked them. Till my friend told me it's actually an insult for overusing emoji's, stickers, GIFs, or movie clips/meme ( i'm only in my early '20s ) So that's when i lessen the use of these stuff and they went away, just like that. So yeah, idon't want you to get those kind of guys in your comment box lol. But overall you're awesome and I can't get over with the Text idea💙💙

I clicked jn like 0.1 secs! Loving the content!

Hii I love your videos, you should listen to fall fair suite!! Also your babies are so cute, are they twins?
