Love how Matthew is on point 😂 - Indeed the villain has an amazing voice (Cheyenne Jackson is such a good performer) and you will love and hate him. - Yep it's when they were alive. To give more context: they were four in Sunset Curve but only three died. So there's three phantoms. And it was a rehearsal but there was one spectator: Julie's mom when she was younger. (It's not said that it's her explicitly in the show, but there's many hints to let us know). - Soooo whag if I tell you you've already reacted to Cheyenne Jackson on this channel? 👀 He's Mal's father in Descendants, the amazing Hades. Cheyenne is a Broadway performer and that's why he sounds so good!

Yes!! Thank you for doing another JATP video! Also yes you were right, Now or Never is from before they died and the 4th guy survived so he isn't part of The Phantoms. And Caleb (the villain) is a ghost too. He basically runs like this super private club of ghosts (and if I'm remembering right certain rich humans in on the secret). He starts off as just an entertainer but you get more into his villainous side as the show goes on. Not giving anymore spoilers, the show is really worth watching it's so good!

[@descendientesfan3624]

The only "spoiler" is that the "Hollywood Ghost Club" is run by Caleb Covington, a ghost that when lifer was actor singer and magician. The members are the only ones alive

[@kaitlynlockhart6041]

I'm so glad you listened to the songs of Julie and the Phantoms, I'm so upset they didn't do a season two. The first two songs were before Luke, Reggie, and Alex met Julie Context: Alex; the blonde ghost, Luke (One wearing a purple tank top suit and leader of Sunset Curve), and Reggie (Wearing red in Aint Got Nothing to Loose) had a really good gig. Luke, Reggie, and Alex were in a band with an old friend of theirs. They were going to play at the Orpheum but before their show they had bad hot dogs and died. 25 years ago in the show, the three boys were "summoned" by a teenage girl named Julie which freaked out because the three boys were ghosts. To understand this I recommend watching the show.

[@beebop4363]

First two? first was Nothing to Lose -- comes right before Stand Tall. Aside from that, I agree: Netflix missed out big time by canceling it. Also adding context for Matthew Flying Solo: The other girl (Flynn) is Julie's best friend. When Julie sang Bright (...he reacted to that, right?), it was the first time she sang after meeting the boys -- they suddenly appeared on stage with her (as you would've seen). She played off the questions by saying they were holograms. Flying Solo is Julie telling Flynn that the guys are ghosts and not holograms

He was the only ghost which humans could see and has some powers until the 3 boys came back from void because Julie played their cd and Julie can see them and every human can see them when they make music. The bad guy ghost is kinda jealous and stamps them when they come to his club which binds them to him. If I remember correctly. They were 4 boys before they died but one of them didn’t die with them.
