Maybe, but if the quality of the rest of the album is like theSparkling Diamondstrack they released maybe they should have taken the extra time. It sounds muddled and the lyrics are barely understandable."
We're gonna have to chip in and get you some new headphones.

Which is implying you only know what good theatre is and thats elitist and stuck up. No one cares you hated the show and no one cares that I like thisshow, but no need to demean others opinions on shows."

I'll bet you 2 Can-Can seats that you can count the number of tweens on this board with one hand. They're mostly raving about this show on this thing called Instagram.
