Apocalyptour songs ranked compared to their original performances

DECEIT

[@mirainhaf]

But we can all agree that Rouges Medley is better than the original three in every possible way

[@wonderlost6049]

Absolutely, and all of them were already fairly good anyway, the medley just blew it out of the water

[@goodjobeli]

Yeah, I was watching HMB the other day and when Rouges Are We came on I half expected it to immediately transition to Rouges (Reprise)

[@olioil8509]

Yes we CAN

[@Levleup]

Exactly!

[@JelvinBrown]

Not alone Better: the audience singing Darrens parts during the chorus

[@emilyllewellyn526]

the writers at starkid are too scared to put jamie and dylan as a couple/together in a show because they know it’ll put pretty much all the other shows to shame (not that i don’t love them but still)

[@ellielastofus8657]

Emily Llewellyn they’re together in Black Friday aren’t they?

[@lovelaced]

No, it’s Kim and Dylan

[@user-hl7gi8ud2i]

In conclusion: the apocalyptour is a gift to this world

[@summerstargrrrl]

Every time someone recognizes that Dylan and Jaime are the best Starkid singers I get a lil more optimistic about the world

[@una_10bananas]

I guess they don't have more duets because it would just make everything else a bit less amazing than them

[@ColePenner]

Summer Star Jaime is an amazing singer but she has a tendency to go too hard when she’s singing harmonies and she goes above everyone else

[@soup4756]

HAHA I've never noticed Brosenthals face when they cut him off that's hilarious

[@lailam1292]

I can see what you mean about mamd, but i love that they didn't say d*ck it is hilarious

[@user-hl7gi8ud2i]

They do say it at the very end of the show after a very long dramatic pause and I think that’s beautiful

It ends on its me and it's........... Us!

And i love how they don't say dick, because of my family walks in on me listening they won't think I'm 100% completely bonkers

[@professorrock4698]

@@user-hl7gi8ud2i They also say it in Listen To Your Heart. I think the fact that they could say it in this show (unlike, say Homecoming, where they seemed to be more censored) makes it even funnier that they chose not to for the entire opening number. It's also really sweet hearing "It's me and its... US!"

[@elizabethblackmun1232]

I understand why you didn't do rogues medley but I'm also torn because it's so powerful it gives me heart palpitations every time, so obviously it's the best

[@maxie5479]

we can't not acknowledge during your for granger danger joey sings "OH MY GOD beautiful to me" 😂😂

[@leviathan4330]

I'm convinced that Dylan and Jaime have never had a duet together in a show because they'd just be too powerful

[@maxie5479]

when they sing sami/harry it sounds like 'hami'

[@jikkebouma5512]

I sure love myself Some hami

[@workinprogress94]

Whenever I listen to that one I like to think it’s Sami and Harry singing about each other

[@user-hl7gi8ud2i]

The better for dark sad lonely knight is so valid

[@mehspacedorito]

if i was ranking this it'd just be "meredith is here. i am in love with her. easy A+"

[@bridgetspector6703]

Well I prefer Denise as February, Jaimie singing her part in The Way I Do makes me feel things (Also please do one of these for the space tour)

[@una_10bananas]

Yes a space tour one because we need to decide which Stutter is better

[@indydouma1385]

When I listen to the space tour recordings on Spotify, I'm sorry, I love starkid, but it is not good. Except for some songs. Like stutter. That is a true blessing

[@bridgetspector6703]

Indy D honestly I completely disagree, I have more songs from space tour than apocalyptour saved. Ready to go, even though, no way, to have a home, granger danger, even though, boy toy, Liam’s got a phone call, even though, the coolest girl, and days of summer are all on par, if not better than the original

[@indydouma1385]

@@bridgetspector6703 I got even though, to have a home and no way too yeah, but granger danger, little white lie medley, mamd/ready to go and a lot more from the apoclyptour. But everyone has different preferences and likes and dislikes and this is how I feel about it😊

[@kaileehougardy6112]

The harmonies on Status Quo from the space tour is actually one of my favorite things ever. Chills every time.

[@raeosunshine24]

maybe it’s because i heard the apocalyptour version of “guys like potter” before the original, but i like it more! it’s one of my favourite styles of music, and i think the juxtaposition between lyrics and tone is hilarious! but i totally get why you’d put it lower if that’s not your jam!

[@una_10bananas]

I love it so much, so boppy and the MOST fun, but I also love the original with Tyler being dramatic and Joe Moses singing harmony so I really wouldn't be able to decide which I like better

[@radxianixe]

it's a total bop, but for me, i liked the original because of the emotion. there was some comedy inserted there, but joe moses' acting is actually really good and underrated (though he's not exactly the strongest singer out there). but yep, everyone can have their own opinions! this is just mine :)

[@alildaisy.5697]

My only gripe is I think part of their crappy singing at shows is chalked up to them being younger and in character (mainly Voldy-mort and Draco)

[@izzfizz9721]

Dude they’re singing may have developed over the years but it was never crappy

[@CantDraw-bq6pj]

To Dance Again didn't have enough Quirrellmort

[@banana-xj6yk]

ikr!

[@lenap319]

The main advantage the originals have is being in context and in costumes The main advantage thr apocalyptour versions have is way better sound quality and the posibility of great harmonies

[@MagusAgrippa8]

Sami/Harry has got to be one of my favorite songs here. Jaime and Dylan need to sing together more. Jaime and Joey also pair well in The Way I Do.

[@lauren1969]

So I love that “robin’s” (Brian Rosenthal sings it in apocalyptic) is changed to “ I want to meet Barack Obama” because Nick who played robin in HMB also plays Barack Obama in HMB

It’s always bothered me that in different as can be the line “ you won’t sleep on your tummy, you won’t sleep on your back” makes no sense, because if Voldemort wants squirrel to sleep on his back it means he wants to sleep on his tummy, which quirrel says he won’t do 😂😂😂

[@IwillrememberAchmed]

I've read somewhere that you can interpret it as Voldemort saying "You WONT sleep on your back", as in you're not allowed to/i wont let you, but idk

[@goodjobeli]

It makes me so sad that Granger Danger is so low because I had the Apocalyptour version on all the time when I first found AVPM. I even played it for my friends. I've gotten more used to that version than the actual one. edit: also the "and now we dance" is on the professionally recorded version (at least I think? someone back me up on this pls)

[@IwillrememberAchmed]

that's valid! I still like this version of Granger Danger, I just think the original one is a bit better The "and now we dance" isn't included in the version on Spotify, so I'd guess it isn't on any other. However, she says it during the Space Tour. Maybe you were thinking of that one.

[@marsplanetspace]

i think if you ever ranked shows on closing numbers HMB would be SO HIGH i get to hype to Super Friends

It's a Medley, that's why I didn't include it. It's harder to compare each song if they are kind of merged together. (and it would easily be #1)

[@wonderlost6049]

David Tennant For the tour, it was also a plot, because the Starkids Love us and can’t just settle for live performances, so if you see the full tour (which is now just available for digital/DVD purchase on their site) there’s a plot following that justifies the outfits. And if their shoe choices in most all performances, Jesus Christ, are any clue, usually their outfits are available from the same stores we shop at. Lol, but the costume designer also definitely loved the fans, we were blessed.

[@una_10bananas]

JAIME

[@caoilinncahill7995]

Unpopular opinion (y’all gonna hate me for this one) but I think Lauren’s voice isn’t as strong as others like let’s say Jamie’s but yet she gets much more attention personally I think that is because Lauren has bigger roles than people like Jamie so gets to show her off voice much more. I also think that Jamie is just as talented as Lauren (maybe even more) and she has the strongest most beautiful voice but is left in the shadows which is kinda sad. I know she gets solos like lost without you, Harry, join us and die and she sings most of not alone but beside lauren and other females she has much less (I think I haven’t counted others) basically what I’m saying is Jamie shouldn’t be so forgotten and pushed to the side as she is an amazing actor and phenomenal singer (you know that already) so I think Jamie should get more love from people as when fans think of a female Starkid their mind goes straight to Lauren or Meredith and Jamie wouldn’t be the first when a lot of people think of the females of Starkid. So basically Jamie deserves more love and a lead #givejamiealead. Thank you for coming to my ted talk♥️ this whole thing might make no sense so I’ll explain Lauren gets a load of recognition for her voice and Jamie gets little of recognition.
