First Burn- Hamilton Reactions | Music Mondays!

[@VampireHunter5790]

My favorite line is "You enemies whisper so you have to scream." The reynolds pamphlet was a huge over reaction to Jefferson finding out about his affair.

[@momoroxy]

Historically, none of the men in the show were actually the ones to confront him, Lin just needed them to continue the roles of Hamilton’s opposition. In real life it was Frederick Muhlenberg, James Monroe, and Abraham Venable. The three of them promised not to say anything, but Monroe sent copies of the various documents to Jefferson (which is probably where his involvement came in) and John Buckley had copies as well. Buckley probably gave access to a journalist John Callendar, so when Hamilton heavily hinted in some essays that Jefferson had relations with his slave Sally Hemings, Callendar put out that Hamilton wasn’t so innocent in his own sexual endeavors and that he also participated in speculation with James Reynolds. Hamilton decided that as a last ditch effort to save his career he would publicly refute the speculation accusation at the expense of his marriage and his chances at becoming president. Funnily enough, Burr was involved twice around the situation. First as Maria Reynold’s attorney when she split with James, and second when he stopped a duel between Hamilton and Monroe, who Alexander blamed for the information getting out.

@@momoroxy Thank you for fulfilling my quota of daily learning for "You learn something new everyday" :) Cool history knowledge.

Fun fact: Eliza was pregnant during the publication of the pamphlet

[@minimalisticboi7683]

Oh my god! Poor Eliza! The amount of stress shes gone thru because of Hamilton's lust while pregnant. :'(

[@winterwolf0100]

Oh my gosh! That is *NOT* a fun fact D:

[@KHTimeProtecter]

Actually, she had already given birth at that time. That child’s name was William Stephen Hamilton, born on August 4, 1797. The pamphlet was published on the 25th.

[@quentinschannel9469]

Yeah i think eith james Hamilton

[@EmmyJeanBean]

@@KHTimeProtecter Yeah but even though the pamphlet was not yet published he was still having the affair at the time I'm guessing. And it's just awful when you're pregnant and your husband is out screwing another girl.

[@ceramicholiness]

“I see how you look at my sister.” God. Damn. Still so salty that line didn’t make it into the musical. That line cuts so deep.

[@tsukihimeyfan]

Not-so-fun fact: anyone else notice how the words around Eliza at 2:36 are “not enough” repeated over and over, overlapping each other? Amazing animation by ziksua, it’s heartbreaking

[@annamauer5011]

And at 2:26 it’s says “I’ll never be good enough” (you can’t really see it I had to watch the original)

[@kiwiparfaits]

this version has SO many good lines that didn't make it in to the show but im glad this version is on youtube at least i wish "we are your legacy" made it into the show somehow but i get why it was edited down yes this animatic is FANTASTIC. Ziksua is definitely one of my favorite artists that made hamilton animatics

[@idontknowreally2474]

Wait, why was "we are your legacy" cut?

[@kiwiparfaits]

@@idontknowreally2474 oh i dont know. just didn't make it in? if you're referring to me saying "but i get why it was edited down" i was referring to the musical/song altogether. and eric kind of went into that in the video.

[@idontknowreally2474]

@@kiwiparfaits Oh, like...just to shorten the musical?

[@kiwiparfaits]

@@idontknowreally2474 yeah basically that and the fact that the burn that ended up in the musical has a different tone to it. she's angry but she's still calm for the most part which is maybe more fitting of her character

[@idontknowreally2474]

@@kiwiparfaits Oh I see

[@liviaamazonas2826]

the women who sing this song are 5 different “Elizas” from a different tour of Hamilton, Rachelle from London, Lexi who replaced Pippa on Broadway, Ari from the Chicago cast, Julia and Shoba from 2 national tours. They are all amazing in their own way and this song is SO powerful. loved your reaction as always! excited to watch you cry as listening to the reprise of Theodosia... if yall want to hear Lin himself talking about this version and why it got cut, check this interview kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJLHn2iuoJmlrs0&ab_channel=AMtoDM

[@robertolanzone]

Not in this version, it's not the 5 of them, that's a different one with a video that shows them in the vocal booth if I'm not mistaken. This one's just the "original" Eliza.

[@liviaamazonas2826]

@@robertolanzone the video you're mentioning is the music video for this song that is playing in the animatic... you can hear all 5 voices in it, the original eliza is not a part of it :)

[@robertolanzone]

@@liviaamazonas2826 Really? My ears can't be trusted lol, I assumed that was a "special version" and never bothered to compare them oops 😅

[@ali_gatorplays9641]

@@robertolanzone yeah I’m pretty sure a year or 2 after Hamilton went on broadway she left the show and then the other girl “replaced” her

[@bernicevilladelrey2027]

I remember singing this whenever I get mad and hecc I actually think I sound good XD

[@MrAntonla]

This song is Lin-Manuel Miranda's first draft of Burn, hence the name. It features 5 different Elizas: Ari Afsar, who was the original Eliza at the CIBC Theatre in Chicago (September 2016-March 2018) and for a single week appeared as Eliza in the Philip (Second National) Tour in May 2019. Julia Harriman, who was a standby for the Schuyler sisters in the Angelica (First National) Tour until she assumed the role of Eliza in January 2018, but left the Angelica Tour to become the original Eliza in the And Peggy (Third National) Tour in January 2019 where she remained until January this year. Lexi Lawson, who replaced Phillipa Soo at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Broadway (July 2016-October 2018). Rachelle Ann Go, who was the original Eliza at the Victoria Palace Theatre in the West End (December 2017-November 2019). Shoba Narayan, who was the original Eliza in the Philip (Second National) Tour (Febuary 2018-Febuary 2019).

[@erikagholston6610]

I saw Ari in Chicago so she is my favorite.

[@amandam.4841]

I love first burn! It's not necessarily right for the show, but it's a wallop of rage from Eliza, and she's otherwise presented as so calm and collected, so im glad it survived in some form. The main reason it wouldn't work in the show is because first burn is Eliza talking to directly to Hamilton, and in the show she's on stage alone and more dealing with her grief over the scandal instead of her rage. Plus, can you imagine trying to narratively move Eliza from this much rage to "forgiveness...can you imagine?" within just a couple songs? It would have been impossible.

[@melissaparsons741]

That animatic was amazing!! That was just a great representation. I do wish they had kept the bit about her and the children being his legacy.

[@BGTitanAvatar]

I love everything about this version. Like you said, Burn is better for the musical, but the one I want to listen to on repeat is First Burn.

[@gigin6534]

This is part of the Hamilton mixtape, versions of the show's songs sang by other artists

[@lunavedette3292]

I love your reactions so much ❤ You're very observant and genuinely interested in the animatics as well as the meaning behind all the lyrics. And your facial expressions are gold. When I watch your reaction videos, I feel like my favourite things are also appreciated by someone else too. Good luck with everything you do 🔥

[@TriXJester]

The Hamilton Mixtape is also worth a listen, especially Immigrants (We Get the Job Done) also the Hamilton Polka which is just Weird Al flexing

[@madiroser1546]

This song gives me chills every time

[@theunplannedchild5028]

The fact that she kept the letters tho😢

[@marianah.r.5617]

I've seen many reactions of the entire play but your's are my favorites🙋‍♀️💗Greetings from Colombia 🇨🇴

[@Marley90100]

Love first burn ! You should definitely react to Hamilton in seven minutes by Ziksua.

[@karmamarquez8200]

You should react to dear theodosia reprise. It's rather sad and beautiful to listen to

[@melaniewilliams6740]

And when the time comes- when will you learn that you were their legacy.....?

[@rikalin2809]

FU- YESSSSS I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!!

[@rikalin2809]

Also, Ziksua's art is amazing!! I really love the way she draw character expression

[@lpsivy]

I couldn’t find the Dear Theodosia (Reprise) on your Patreon.

[@kmrn_sngltn5524]

Could you possibly react to the Say No to This and The Room Where It Happens mashup? It’s amazing!

[@teamleo6622]

Suggestion: plz react to more musicals , and if you do, I would recommend heathers

[@kiwiparfaits]

[@jackson857]

Not watching the official video is 😢😢😢

[@theunplannedchild5028]

[@Brooklyn-zq9hr]

[@professionalnerd4055]
