"Alyssa Greene" Full Song feat. Ariana DeBose | The Prom | Netflix

Me too, that actually made me tear up! 😢

[@TheGleeksrock]

I don’t know about it. If there was more development behind her character it would have landed better. It wasn’t mentioned at all before and then it’s never mentioned again. Makes it seem like a cop out. Lazy writing in my opinion

[@mp3holder94]

I full on burst into uncontrollable tears when she said that with no explanation as to why. Genuinely couldn’t stop crying but I wasn’t crying for any reason other than the fact that it made me upset

[@yoyoeldas]

Molly Pinks I agree. You don't necessarily have to mention her dad, but just any development of her character would be great. When I watched the film I was rooting for her and Emma of course, and was happy they got a happy ending, but I'd just like to root for someone that feels more real.

"Ribbons have to be blue" cut to a row of multi colored ribbons.

[@kl-1447]

Yeah, but the point might be that she doesn't always achieve that blue ribbon, so she's always being pushed to do better. And even if she does get a blue ribbon, she still has to do more.

[@unrealcreature]

She says blue ribbon as a reference to blue ribbons being exclusive to 1st place but most medals and ribbons aren't only blue anymore that's probably why they're different colors.

The ONLY plot hole I found in this movie was that Alyssa's mom didn't find it the tiniest bit suspicious that her daughter, who she demanded perfection out of, didn't have a straight date to the prom. She was just totally okay with her going stag....to the prom. This is the woman who said she had to win homecoming queen. And in that scene clearly had a date since the king was wearing the same color as her.

This musical has changed me including the movie version. I wish I saw this in person. The song that inspires me the most is Alyssa Greene because when I was in high school I was in a closet and dating a girl at the time, I was on the my high school girls swim and dive team, in academic decathlon, Girl Scouts, and musical theatre. People would come up to me and say "Wow, you do so much, its like your popular." The word popular to me honestly i didn't care what people thought of me. Just like Alyssa in The Prom. I never considered myselfas being popular because it didn't fit me. The Prom made me inspire to go out and show the world who you are, I love the story of Emma and Alyssa, and that kissing girls is okay to do. I'm a Proud American Samoan Bisexual Woman and I want to thank you for teaching me to be who I am.
