I mean, if you’ve actually watched the three documentaries/series that this musical is based on, those lyrics are perfect. This woman is not intelligent, could never sell a ‘proper’ Broadway song & lyrics to save her life, and is quite frankly a delusional (but lovely) nut. Highly recommend people watch things before they write this off.

Except, people SHOULDNT need the source material at all.

However, hearing one song, largely out of context, is never a good way to judge an entire show.

But that's what we do.

I thought this is beautiful and having seen the documentary captures the spirit of who Jackie is so well. I’m not sure why we still use “memorableness” as an arbiter for quality these days but for what it’s worth the melody has totally sunk its teeth into my brain. The lyrics are … definitely a bit silly and surface level but I don’t mind. I would say the same of some of Wicked’s lyrics and I still think it has earned its place as a qualitative staple of musical theatre.

This didn't sell me. I found the song to be very bland and it's the first time I've heard Kristin's voice sound strained.
