RIGHT?!

Lyrics ♡ Alexander Congratulations You have invented a new kind of stupid A 'damage you can never undo' kind of stupid An 'open all the cages in the zoo' kind of stupid 'Truly, you didn't think this through?' kind of stupid Let's review You took a rumor a few maybe two people knew and refuted it By sharing an affair of which no one has accused you I begged you to take a break, you refused to So scared of what your enemies might do to you You're the only enemy you ever seem to lose to You know why Jefferson can do what he wants? He doesn't dignify schoolyard taunts with a response! So yeah, congratulations! You've redefined your legacy Congratulations I languished in a loveless marriage in London I lived only to read your letters I look at you and think 'God, what have we done with our lives and what did it get us?' That doesn't wipe the tears or the years away But I'm back in the city and I'm here to stay And you know what I'm here to do? I'm not here for you I know my sister like I know my own mind You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind And a million years ago, she said to me 'this one's mine' So I stood by Do you know why? I love my sister more than anything in this life I will choose her happiness over mine every time Eliza Is the best thing in our life So never lose sight of the fact that you have been blessed with the best wife Congratulations For the rest of your life Every sacrifice you make is for my sister Give her the best life Congratulations

[@pan-duh]

Her hand movements! Her expressions! Her voice! Her beauty!!! ALL AMAZING!! I'M SUBSCRIBING

[@hayleydavis6722]

This is my favorite song from Hamilton. Although it was cut from the musical, it has always been one of my favorites. Brittany, you have one of the most powerful voices I have ever seen. I appreciate the fact that you put so much emotion into the covers you sing!💗💗

[@stopstealingmyideaz]

Heh, I feel a bit out of the loop because I've not seen Hamilton, but this was sooooo amazing! As per usual, you are able to capture the pov of a song perfectly!

[@Bubbleppop]

Hanyed Magz This song is not officially in Hamilton, but it was still recorded. Congratulations is the lengthened part of Angelica’s role in “Reynolds’s pamphlet”. Sorry if you already know this.

[@jenna8091]

Hamilton: Oh, look, it's my sister-in-law! Hamilton: My wife's sister... Hamilton: Whom I cheated on Hamilton: She must be here to comfort me! But, you have an amazing voice, how are you not on Broadway?

[@rasheedahking3197]

In his defense he had been having an emotional affair with her the whole time he was married to her writing love letters and longing for her. The only difference is that he didn't physically sleep with her. Angelica is a bit of a hypocrite here.

[@devaughnjohnson]

She stood by because she didn't think he could satisfy her and because of Eliza, it wasn't as selfless as she's portraying it in this song but yeah he royally screwed up.

[@ArmednotTriggered]

@@devaughnjohnson Lin Manuel Miranda took creative liberties with his musical. Angelica was happily married to her husband John Church before meeting Hamilton. In fact, she was so into John that she actually eloped because she knew her father wouldn't approve of the match. Additionally, she had brothers.

[@ArmednotTriggered]

@Shimoi K Absolutely, I've had discussions with people about this already. In addition to him taken creative liberties, the book Lin Manuel Miranda based the musical on is also very biased in Hamilton's favor, which is why Thomas Jefferson and James Madison are protrayed the way they are. Aaron Burr was given a rather sympathetic and redeemable end in the musical too, but history tells a different story. I would consider myself among the "Hamilfans," but people should recognize the difference between adaptions and facts. It doesn't mean you can't enjoy the adaption, but you should acknowledge that creative liberties are generally always taken when transmitting something to a stage or screen.

[@SDL132]

This is about to be so good. Can't wait to see the acting in this one!!
