Absolutely DONE FOR EPIC: The Musical | Vocal Coach Reaction (& Analysis) | Jennifer Glatzhofer

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

WOOOAAHH! Where are we going?! Don't forget to pick up something fun on my merch site - jenniferglatzhofer-shop.fourthwall.com/en-gbp/

[@Rahmat-kg4pc]

Hi Jennifer..When you React for Jollink Kribo-She's Gone Cover Thanks Before❤

[@3rdtimesthecharm376]

Its not directly stated, but the implication is that one or more of Circe's Nymphs were assaulted by the last group of men she welcome courteously, so she has abandoned the typical Divine law, by which Gods or Kings are expected to treat visitors kindly, and started to curse any men that washed up on her island with extreme prejudice.

[@DJOrbitDecker]

Fun fact! Circe's singer is dating Jay!

[@RacketEPIC]

yeah, Talya and Jorge are really adorable

[@siobhannoble8545]

"I'm not sure I follow." Dude, does she have to draw you a diagram?

[@Kireshva]

I take it as his heart being only for Penelope, so maybe the thought of... involvement with other women isn't really something that would occur to him? At least for this version of Odysseus, he's loyal af I mean, obviously I'm no quick-witted Odysseus but if I were in his shoes and I also had a Penelope, I'd be dumb/oblivious af to other people's advances too and my brain would buffer for a moment 😂

[@WittySomething]

It's been confirmed iirc that Done For is supposed to be like a waltz I believe it was, thus the timing of the song, so when he says he doesn't follow, it also ties in to that. He isn't following their 'dance' anymore when she switches it up.

[@camilolara2046]

12:17 LMAO yeah That's probably what Circe thought 😂.

[@rhov-anion]

As I recall, Circe and Hermes were lovers. Or more appropriately, bed partners with zero love between them. He loved chaos, she loved order. Hermes left because she was too stuffy. She took her duty of protecting the nymphs very seriously, because as she hints at in the song, the last time they welcomed men to their island... "bad things" happened to the girls. (Trying to keep it KZbin friendly.) Circe's transformation magic suddenly manifested in the midst of the "bad things" and she turned the men into pigs. Then she and the nymphs had ham for dinner. After that, she assumed all men were pigs and refused to fall in love.

[@jessnalulila5552]

No they weren't. Circe and Hermes NEVER interacted in Greek Mythology This relationship was invented by the Madelline Miller's book Circe Edit: reading it again, I'm sure the last 3 lines are plots points of a retelling 🤔

[@VegaTheLyra]

7:43 Jen: dont be _too_ confident here, Odyseus Ody, a couple seconds later: Then I must be a god like you

[@00715christian]

There is one more song to the Circe saga, and it gets flirtatious very quickly.

[@VegaTheLyra]

Let's just say, _there are other ways_ this conflict can go down

[@milanvrolijks]

​@@VegaTheLyra yes I'm curious for that reaction video

[@VegaTheLyra]

@@milanvrolijks same

[@rhov-anion]

Especially depending on which animatic you watch. 😳

[@fishnewt1331]

@@VegaTheLyra: yes, *there are other means* this could be solved.

[@didle6]

5:00 omg you nailed this too! Jorge has also confirmed the triplets are an intentional part of musical storytelling: "Epic often associates its theme of ruthlessness with triplets in music." -Jorge (I won't link this video because it contains spoilers for unreleased songs from the end of the show)

[@yay29823]

What's a triplet?

[@didle6]

@@yay29823 Basically it's when one beat of music is divided into three even parts instead of the usual two.

[@yay29823]

@@didle6 Wow! How do I still underestimate Jorge's attention to detail?

[@stardust1815]

I highly recommend either Gigi's or Aniflamma's animatic for there are other ways! (My personal favorite is gigi's, but aniflamma's is great too. Aniflamma's is definitely a lot more...explicit though just fair warning)

[@whatifieat]

I suggest anniflammas "thare are other ways" For the consistent artistic rendering of course. 👀

[@tsutomumybeloved7411]

Crashite’s version is rlly nice too! Quite underrated, imo

[@anandbleep2337]

[@stardust1815]

@@tsutomumybeloved7411 I like crashite’s version too! The ending is really cute

[@antoniettagiordano1820]

Fun fact, at the and you can notice the guitar isn't there anymore because the effect of the Moly's power is ended when Odysseus says "you've lost". He thought he win against Circe. On the other hand she knew the effect of the Moly flower so she was so confident with her speech with Odysseus.

[@sammy0493]

8:15 yeah they definitely knew each other 😂😂😂 pretty close too i must say since hermes and circe were canonically ex lovers

[@TheLivingProphetJ]

Oh shit, I studied Greek Mythology and forgot about that

[@cojec]

Wasn't that just in the book Circe, not in the classics? I haven't read the Odyssey, but that's what I heard somewhere else.

[@TheLivingProphetJ]

@@cojec so think of Greek Mythology as one universe, the Book of Circe existed a years before the Odyssey, therefore, in the canon of Greek Mythology Hermes and Circe were together at one point

[@jessnalulila5552]

​@@TheLivingProphetJ what? There's no account in Greek Mythology of Circe dating Hermes at ANY point of time I disagree that a retelling by Madelline Miller should be considered canon

[@jessnalulila5552]

They aren't. Circe had a son with Poseidon named Phaunos, but she never dated Hermes

[@orfeassiozos1575]

I LOVE that you picked up on the Habanera motif from Carmen because the main melody for this song indeed was inspired by the famous French opera!! It means to draw on the deviousness, resourcefulness and charisma that Carmen is known for, as those characteristics come into strong play in this battle between Circe and Odysseus and are just as important as strength has been in previous battles! Edit: Also!! Since you mentioned the triplets (which I hadn't noticed on this song until now!!), they are used along with the danger motif to represent danger! That's why Ruthlessness is filled to the brim with them. Notably, Athena's piano theme, which is in 4/4 in Warrior of the Mind, changes to triplets in Remember Them because she's fighting with Odysseus and that poses a danger to their relationship and the way things are handled moving forward.

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Ah love that!😁

[@didle6]

2:44 you're actually spot on! Jorge purposely uses the bass line from Habanera (Carmen) as a sort of musical allusion to show Circe is wiling to use 'other ways of persuasion'. He explains it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIXRiaJubLaMmM0

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Oh cool!

[@mrmatrixmusicman8787]

It’s not a huge deal bc we speak english and we anglicize pronunciations, but if you want to know, Jorge’s last name is pronounced with a silent h, employing a glottal stop at the beginning, and the r’s are rolled, if you can.

[@ilikeswords5877]

Nothing like enjoying an epic song with Jen as a birthday gift. Keep up the good work Jen!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Happy Birthday!

[@ilikeswords5877]

@@JenniferGlatzhofer thank you

[@MewDenise]

I just love how anniflamma portrays the Gods. The way she makes them transform and such. Really showing off their supernatural powers

[@DarkestNova556]

6:42 The background choir is reserved for gods. Which is likely why it appears hear considering Helios is her father 😅

[@ragdosman7413]

OMG finally i can’t wait to see you react to this, the vocal are mind blowing 😭♥️♥️

[@Sleepy_Sys]

Ahh, Just a suggestion!! I recommend Gigis Animatic for the next song; There Are Other Ways. I know they’re already a really big influence in the community but I love their work so much! Either way, I really enjoy your analysis videos, always happy to get your notification :D

[@ismael9619]

If you see this you are so close to the underworld saga watch out

[@xulitalita3027]

Please, continue with AnniFlammas The are other ways! That was amazing!

[@mrmatrixmusicman8787]

i know gigi is a bigger name as well but i prefer gigi’s

[@deathstrokecat5390]

Agreed they really portrayed the situation for what it is. Uncomfortable and tense yet seductive.

[@audreyii6750]

​@@mrmatrixmusicman8787gigi's animation is lovely as always, but they do not capture the vibe of EPIC!Circe EPIC!Circe is dangerous, powerful & a _large_ presence Gigi's Circe is just a random pretty lady Even wolfythewitch's Circe (from their wips) has more gravitas than Gigi's But Anniflamas's takes the cake. THAT'S a Circe I believe could absolutely _obliterate_ Odysseus had he not taken the moly (or had Odysseus not gained her sympathy) I cannot believe Gigi's Circe is a threat that Odysseus needs to _plead_ to

[@SauceyRedHN]

Unfortunately I’m not home yet, but I’m so hyped, this is one of my favorite songs from the musical!

[@JenniferGlatzhofer]

Ah yay!

[@area52ron]

In the flashback there are four nymphs but in present time there are three nymphs

[@kennethmorgan8795]

Well there's a reason Circe is widely considered the first Femme Fatale in literature...

[@whatifieat]

Do anniflamma's "thare are other ways", next. For the artistic consistency of course- 👀

[@icemagiciangh]

I hope she watches the continuation in Anni’s animatic. It’s more explicit (?) but fun to keep track with the vibe

[@SuperSonicBlur]

So i dint know if its intentional but the triplets for Poseidon give a very horse galloping vibe and poseidon is also the god of horses :D

[@WittySomething]

Boy oh boy I can't wait to see your reaction to the next song and that ending bit.

[@Rose-xb5oh]

I love how we're watching Jennifer fall in love with Circe in real time. Me too, me too

[@MrJoeyWheeler]

The Hanabera-esque feel of the opening to this song gets me every time. If I hum that intro bit I'm about to accidentally start singing Carmen like you just did! xD

[@jamesjones8482]

Great reaction Jennifer! Keep-up the good work. 👍🎶❤

[@area52ron]

Hermes is Circe’s ex and Odysseus great grandfather

[@jessnalulila5552]

Hermes never interacted with Circe, this relationship was invented by the Madelline Miller's book Circe

[@BGTitanAvatar]

Really hope you do Gigi’s for the next song. I like the characterization in that one a lot.

[@bsherrod4912]

Had to follow you, couldn’t resist any longer

[@v1lsxe]

Oh you’re gonna love Scylla

[@deejaydee1578]

Honestly, sing the next one. Its hands down my fav from this saga

[@karma_pup]

Ahhh I love listening to you break down the different aspects of each song

[@mizomisosoup6603]

Circe's just like, "DiD i StUtTeR?"

[@AUCreatoer]

When you do get to the underworld saga, please do watch ximena natzel's No Longer You! It's so good tbh

[@sammy0493]

This!! or watch kriieo one cause it pretty underrated and have a lot of sneak peek for the future saga.

[@AUCreatoer]

@@sammy0493 OMG KRIIEO TOO! Though I much prefer their Scylla animatic than No Longer You (It's still good tho, I just think Ximena's a much better watch :3)

[@panagiotisdellis1162]

I love your reaction to there are other ways 😂❤❤❤"oh slay" loved it and I also love your reactions you are awesomee❤❤❤

[@fishnewt1331]

Honestly, I think you would probably do well with any of the songs for the females (heck, even some of the male songs, too). A lot of the female songs are duo songs though, so I am not sure what to suggest. Maybe an upcoming newer song that Penelope will be singing. (Won’t say until it comes out and you hear it)

[@audreyii6750]

Anniflamma's Circe has So Much presence & personality! You can SEE how much her nymphs mean to her, she will do _ anything_ to protect them 9:35 the way she looks back at her nymphs one last time before attacking Odysseus, you _Know_ the only way anyone is getting past her to her nymphs is over her dead body

[@midnight5027]

Hermes' gave his great-grandson drugs to get back at his ex

[@jessnalulila5552]

He didn't? These two never interacted in Greek Mythology People are thinking that a retelling by Madelline Miller is canon for some reason

[@alecrobbvaughn3254]

You should react to Nicholas Wells cover of Both Sides Now. It is amazing! You would love the piano in it!

[@JasonMueller-u3p]

Would love to see you analyze Chappell Roan's Tiny Desk

[@nefelinik1764]

For the next song I highly recommend Gigi's animatic!

Its very ironic he summoned a cyclops for the battle

I feel like you'd slay There Are Other Ways, but honestly any of Circe's songs goes

[@lizlilliman3644]

You would do a great circe, Although there are songs coming up that you would be amazing in.

[@Archangel1862]

Please before you do Suffering go back to Open Arms and listen closely to the opening instruments

[@supernatvral]

yeah in the epic odysseus stays on circes island for a year (i think) and sleeps with her bc it was allowed for men travelling to sleep with any woman but their wives had to stay faithful-
