i'm obsessed with the way starkid fans in the audience SCREAM AND CHEER anytime they hear an amazing note in a song, i never notice it in larger broadway productions and it just makes my heart full when they go wild for an amazing voice and note ahhh

Nothing pains me more than dirty girl being such a banger. It makes me so uncomfortable to watch but it’s so amazing to listen to

Thank you for the Jon appreciation. All of his moments are bangers

"Unfortunetly this is a banger" is so real lmao im asexual but I cant stop singing dirty girl

“I am Dan Reynolds” is literally one of the biggest laughs I’ve ever had watching starkid I don’t even know why I love it so much

I feel like will's part in literal monster where he goes "a predator of my size" is some of the best vocals in that show

As a vocal performance major, I am so unbelievably jealous of Jeff’s vocal range. He said it was something around three octaves (the average person has about two) and then there’s his control and support over his notes and breath??? I’d KILL to have that kind of skill god damn

I love that at 2:08 while everyone else is doing something with their chairs, Grace is just praying on the chair

I know this has nothing to do with this video but I can never see Peter saying "yeah, but I don't want to" about Ruth the same knowing that Joey and Lauren are married irl.

I absolutely ADORE Kims face shift right before "FUCK YOU CLIVESDALE" it gives me so much life frfr

We owe so much to Jeff Blim for writing ALL these songs

if there’s one thing starkid excels at (besides like everything) it’s group/ensemble numbers

i think i just realised why curt said pway instead of play is because it also could stand in as praying, since wiggly basically forms a cult

“Unfortunately this is a banger” REAL

7:03 i love how your definition of a “cute paulkins moment” is them clinging to each other in terror and disgust bc same

Can we just talk about how important Corey's voice is when they sing as a group. All of them are so essential but without Corey's voice I think half of it would sound a mess. I don't know how to explain it but his voice just grounds everything 🤩🤩

3:40 that is our Cinderella everybody

"why isn't this blasting from every speaker in north america" do you want mass amnesia, op? because that's how you get mass amnesia!!

I love hearing Jon in TGWDLM versus NPMD It shows his vocal range and growth in real time. Also his vocals in "Inevitable" do NOT get the appreciation they deserve.

9:22 WHO WILL PRAY FOR YOUUUU WHEN YOUR BODY’S GONEEEEE THIS IS THE CONSEQUENCE FOR WHAT YOUVE DOOOOONE

Yeah, every time Dylan opens his mouth, you know a killer fuckin’ vocal is on the way. Black Friday was iconic because of him and Jeff. Also hearing Jon’s vocal evolution has me in tears, I love him so much Also also you are SO correct for the Monsters and Men appreciation.

i got to meet will branner and get his autograph when i was in nyc he’s the absolute sweetest when i mentioned npmd he had the biggest smile on his face

4:00 im so excited for Bryce to be the new protagonist for the cinderella musical shes gonna slay so hard

“unfortunately this is a banger” REAL

NPMD actually changed my brain chemistry

Bryce’s solo in hatchet town is the best thing to ever happen to musical theater

Dylan Saunders' voice is my roman empire tbh

Dirty Girl really grew on me. I love the message and the repression behind it, really threw me back to my super religious days. Y'know, minus the murder.

I love seeing how much Starkid has grown in terms of the settings, the storytelling, and the music most importantly. I swear the music has gotten so much better over the years

Completely Agree with this. All of Hatchetfield songs are absolute bangers. Imo this moments belong in this list: Jaime's "It is time... to DIIEE!" Lauren's "Just for Once" NT2 theme song and "Axe Man". Amazing vid!

The amount of times I've gone back to jon singing "im not a loser" is probably unhealthy

3:18 honestly what is it with Starkid making songs with questionably lyrics so good ?!?! Virginity Rocks is honestly one of my favourites Starkid songs. Other than including the whole song in this video, I especially love the quieter part towards the end

the vocals in the entirety of Hatchet Town give me CHILLS every time Also: agreed. Dylan Saunders Tony award winner WHEN!?

OH MY GOD YOU INXLUDED DO YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH ME actually one of my favourite songs and people just dont ever include itttt

Let It Out is probably my favorite Hatchetfield song, honestly. SO GOOD. The title song in Nerdy Prudes Must Die is a close second, especially "Cool As I Think I Am" in the background and Jon's "I'm not a loser!" on top.

2:30 is so fucking real, i remember everyone putting it last on their ratings when it came out and I was like BUT THATS ONE OF THE BEST ONES?? THE LYRICS ??THE HARMONY?? THE EMOTIONS??

Corey's vocals are frickin POWERFUL, I wish he had more solos in TGWDLM :)

He is dan Reynolds.

2:25 I'm very surprised so many are sleeping in Monsters and Men like The simple choreo? FUCKIN BEAUTIFUL The bridge up til the end were my favorite parts

how good jon and lauren sound together makes me want a paulkins duet reeeaaal bad

Seeing people appreciate Jon makes me so very happy

FINALLY some "if he gets me next that could be three" appreciation

Love the use of the Nerd Chorus in some of the songs in NPMD was a wonderful way to use the theme

Not to downplay anyone else's talents, but Dylan, Mariah and Kim are easily the best singers in Starkid. I LOVE pretty much anything they've been singing.

I would pay money for them to write and sing a song called "f*ck Clivesdale" sung by the lords in black XD I can't stop thinking of this

Literal Monster goes so hard for no reason it’s so good.

Not me singing dirty girl soup at work

Glad to see some “Fuck you Clivesdale” appreciation

1:28 And thats why we need a paulkins song .

My favourite part of the hachet town solo is that their posing like the paitings of mother mary (i think), i havent seen anyone mention it before, but im also certain the palms up with the sleeping pose behind her is a christian painting

oh man. oh man. haven't listened to the npmd soundtrack in a few months and holy shit I forgot just how GOOD it is. I remembered it being good but its even better than I remember

Anyone else think Curt Mega is aging backward? I swear he looks younger in NPMD than he did in Spies Are Forever.

I do the smoke club dance and the "BUUURY THE BUUULLY" dance religiously

1:28 really makes me wish there was a duet for Paul and Emma, at least in Black Friday or one of the Nightmare Time episodes.

3:17 WHY DID THEY FEEL THE NEED TO MAKE THIS STUPID SONG SO GOOD??? I CANNOT STOP REPLYING THAT PART

'thank u dylan saunders' we all say in unison

I want max's actor's version of Confrontation from Jackyll and Hyde

2:15 I LOVE THIS PART BC YOU CAN HEAR COREYS DEEP VOICE IN THE BACKROUND IT SOUNDS SO FOOD

Going from burry the bully to if I fail you seems illegal

I JUST noticed Grace pointing up at Heaven (or at the Black and White??) when she sings “I believe in you and you believe in me”

Curt's solo in Monsters and Men gives me chills EVERY TIME

i was screaming YESSSSS throughout this entire video. GOD does starkid have some of the most TALENTED performers EVER

When Black Friday came out, I had Dylan’s songs all on repeat, I will always love his vocals, so good!

i hate that dirty girl is a good song. but it is.

2:09 not grace doing the cross over her chest mid choreo😂

You completely missed mrs. Tessburger's absolutely insane opera part in Hatchet Town. Plus that song is so underated.

10:52 i love this song so much, especially this part. One of few starkid songs to make me teary eyed. These two's killer vocals mixed with the emotion of this scene really makes this one kf the best Hatchetfield songs.

I have a crush on every single male in Starkid. I'm so gay for everyone help

I feel like dirty girl gets too much shit bc it's so fucking weird but good GOD it's a good song

6:22 THE LITTLE CURT AND JOEY HARMONY ON THE SALES RACK LINE MAKES ME SO HAPPY FOR ABSOLUTELY ZERO REASON 7:53 “DOO-^OOOONEEE” STOP i cant even begin to explain how much i love literally every song and how intricate they are my lord

i can’t get over how great of a singer will is and how he’s just as amazing in person

Only 2 mins in and already loving the Corey appreciation in BF, he’s an icon a legend Edit: MONSTERS AND MEN APPRECIATION!!!! Edit 2: THANK YOU for more Corey and James!!!! Edit 3: we need to be best friends right now. You have every correct opinion.

I _live_ for Kim Whalen's high notes.

okay but I am SO happy to see Kim Whalen appreciation! She's such a lovely person! I was lucky to not only spend my birthday a couple years ago in a private zoom call with her and Curt, I also met her in person last october and she REMEMBERED ME! From just that one call!

Unironically Dirty Girl is my favourite NPMD song and my favourite line AND delivery: WHILE OUR LOVING POISONS THE AIRRRR‼️‼️🗣️🗣️😍😍😍😍😍

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO GIVES WILBUR!JOEY THE ATTENTION HE DESERVES, THANK YOU (also all the awards to Dylan Saunders thanks and goodbye) (also.2 Lauren Lopez national treasure)

the entirety of what if tomorrow comes and i would not be maad

3:59 gives me phsyical chills everytime

0:24 "it's gonna never haunt me cuz he's already dead" erm about that

honestly I'm so glad I got tickets to the live broadcast cos the lords in black song (specifically the chore) was indescribable

Dirty dudes must die is so underrated, I loooove that it's in this comp 🙏

never heard somebody comment on the lalalas in summoning. they're literally so pleasing!!! eargasms every time

i love the bully the bully appreciation

8:44 when it says “I believe in you” Angela (grace) points up at God😂😂😭

lauren lopez scream queen

the way i can listen to if i loved you 6000 times on repeat and every time im still like wow these harmonies! never heard anything this good before!

I started shaking my fists in excitement when time bastard started playing I LOVE TIME BASTARD (I’m also a tinky fan so I’m a little biased)

YES FINALLY SOME TAKE ME BACK APPRECIATION I LOVE KIM SO MUCH

FINALLY some dylan love, i never understood why jons solos are always ranked low or get ignored

dont make me cry about if i loved you even when you ARE completely right to remind me of how heartbreaking it is

2:32 I love Monsters and Men!! Only thing you missed was Curts 'It must be me' 'Never take my office lightly' part which is sung so beautifully

3:40 YES i replay this SO MUCH i even showed it to my mom its literally one if not my favorite vocal

It’s videos like this that helped me appreciate Black Friday wayyyyyyy more than I did at first. It’s a disjointed plot, with songs in absolutely questionable places to put too much weight in too many odd spots for it to be anything other than all over the place… but every one of those pieces really did go disturbingly hard. Monsters & Men is like one of the most pointless songs in Starkid history but Curt and Jeff went SO. DAMN. HAAAAAAARD. Sins of writing are not sins of production. Long live Hatchetfield, baby

Jeff’s songwriting is so good, just wow

Every time I see a hatchetfield video. I think Joey Richter and Jon Matteson. I got what I wanted. Also Curt Mega is so amazing :) I will gladly go to the Black in white.

Fuckin' Traaaaaanscendent

6:33 i had never looked at lauren’s face during this moment but it is great 😂

LAUREN LOPEZ MY BELOVED.

Dirty girl is a banger, as an asexual I concur unfortunately.

i need jon and lauren to sing together more
