I love his music and loved Encanto it's one of my favourite Disney songs :)

[@novachristensengudmundson7038]

I believe that "who lives, who dies, who tells your story" from Hamilton is underappreciated but that may just be because I love the songs that tie together s musical

[@GC-213]

I think dos orogitas because it is so beautiful and it is emotional and it is all in spanish and just really good

[@maxgutman1849]

I love Lin Manuel Miranda works I wish I could meet him Hurricane is my Hamilton favourite song.

[@makaylajunior2005]

[@oscarjuliangonzalezcarreno2525]

The whole Encanto soundtrack is a masterpiece. I can't stop jamming to it in both Spanish and English. He is an incredible songwriter.

[@darkecofreak23]

“What could I do if I knew it didn’t have to be perfect? It just needed to be? And they’d let me be?” Boy, that hits hard for someone who tries to do their best everyday but still gets down on themselves.

[@alicebthegachaweirdo8378]

And I can’t stop jamming to “We don’t talk about Bruno”, “What else can I do” and “Surface pressure” both in English and Swedish (my native language)

[@rafaeltravi2297]

As a Brazilian person, i can't stop jamming it in both Brazilian Portugues and English

This just shows how talented Lin is. He’s composed and made so many songs, many for musicals but movies as well. Encanto and Moana are examples of the movies Lin has done while some musicals are In the Heights and Hamilton.

[@laurakruk4692]

How about the new “Poppins” movie?

[@OlaOla-ct4nu]

And musical Bring it on - "It's all happening" one of my favourite song and have rythm like We don't talk about Bruno and Non stop from Hamilton

He didn't write any lyrics for "Mary Poppins Returns", he just stared in in. And he didn't write Tick, Tick, Boom! either, songs from that motion picture were written by Jonathan Larson. Lin-Manuel Miranda directed the movie.

[@gtd5626]

"Waiting on a miracle" - Encanto is super underrated, the vocals, tone, and visuals are amazing you can really feel Mirabel's pain.

[@Shastasnow]

I don't believe it is underrated. It is a very memorable part of the movie. If my mother watched the movie, she probably would have been asleep at the halfway point of the film, 😆

[@biscuitenjoysgaming]

Meh, I see someone love the song in school

[@disneyfan8719]

Agreed, I listen to the song whenever I have the same lack of self-confidence. Heck, I actually listen to it a lot more than "We Don't Talk About Bruno" (Which is still good, Don't get me wrong, but I never really understood the massive "Let It Go" style popularity and praise it got. Lol)

[@mariaochenas3634]

I do love that

[@Julie-gm8fz]

Totally agree!

[@phoebeclark4718]

"What Else Can I Do" is honestly my favorite song from Encanto. I feel like it naturally fits into the story, manages to believably flesh out Isabela as a character in such a short period of time, and it's just fantastic from a musical standpoint as well.

[@tallulahbrown5864]

[@tygrtales6319]

Yes me too it’s an amazing song and an AMAZING moment in the movie!

I love the irony of Isabela. A master botanist who wasn’t allowed to play in the dirt, and when she basically turned the encanto into a giant jungle, I cheered as hard as Mirabel.

[@Kitty294_]

Yess I’m recently getting into it and I think it’s one of my favourites now (I realized this upon my second time watching the movie)

[@MarkiemooPressPToPlay]

“Say No to This”. It constantly is in everyone's LEAST favorite Hamilton song, but when pressed for as to why, most will say it’s due to the content (Alex's affair) rather than for the merit of the song itself. And Jasmine WAILS! Such a great song!

[@Kenzaaa123]

Arguably it’s my favorite song 💕 but I agree no one really defends their stance other than the affair 😂

[@rondamorris3550]

I love that song! The harmonies and Jasmine’s voice are just seductive! Lol

“If you pay you can staaaaay” is so beautiful

[@moriahfranklin2811]

THE JAMES REYNOLDS PART IS SOO GOOD THUS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS

Dos Oruguitas is my personal most underrated pick, but Song of the Ancestors ALWAYS makes me cry because it’s so beautiful, so I will accept it being No. 1 on this list.

[@anamariagil2898]

The fact that "We Know The Way" was relegated to honorable mention makes it THE MOST underrated song. It both gives me life AND chokes me up. "The Money" also has very emotion-filled vocals. 21 Chump street is the best 15mins you'll ever spend on KZbin. You can also listen to the original interview with Justin Laboy and see just how slick LMM is when creating.

[@brianneportelance1234]

I always felt that Dear Theodosia was an underrated song in Hamilton and it makes me cry whenever i hear it knowing the fate of Philip. Theodosia also died before her parents in a ship wreak. It is just a moving song and i think it deserves a little more recognition.

Unlike most people, I relate to Isabela much more than Luisa. "What else can I do" reminded me of when I wasn't out to my family, and I constantly felt the pressure to be the golden child since I feared losing their love and respect.

[@squigglytext]

The more I watched, the more I saw myself in Isabela, she is such an interesting character

[@JustMe-xp6pl]

thing is, i relate to bOTH isabela and mirabel, isabela being my past self, constantly in preassure to be the perfect child, and I was her like last year, not wanting to be perfect anymore. Unfortunately, im not a golden child anymore, which is kinda like not having a gift, so Im kinda like Mirabel now 🥲

[@deenadallas2802]

"Waiting On A Miracle" and "One More Song" are my favorites. They make me cry, but they also make me feel stronger.

[@becsterbrisbane6275]

"Farmer Refuted" from Hamilton ( of course) is HIGHLY underrated. I said what I said!

"One More Song" makes me cry every time! The tone in Lin-Manuel's voice just relays so much emotion, I don't know how he's not crying as he sings it

[@deenadallas2802]

But he did make me cry when he was singing the entire thing, especially the ending. Every time Lin holds a long note, I start crying because it shows how far he's come with singing. "One More Song" talks about loss so beautifully, and it makes Lin's voice sound SO AMAZING. 😭

My 4yo is constantly singing What Else Can I Do or Waiting on a Miracle around the house, when she's not singing anything from Moana that is.

As a teenage girl who is basically trying to write a musical based on "Vivo," I'm so happy that "One More Song" is on the top 3. It's one of my favorite songs in the movie because it makes me cry, but it also empowers me to do more and find some goodness while taking steps on a big journey. And besides, I actually love Lin's singing voice in the song so much. He's filled with emotion, but also filled with power and encouragement, and I LOVE THAT. And as I was writing a few lyrics to all of my new original songs for my "Vivo" musical project, I also wrote a second reprise to "One More Song," since the original song had one reprise in the movie that absolutely broke my heart, so before I finished writing the script, I wrote my very own lyrics to the second reprise of "One More Song" so it could make a lot more sense. Even though it was a short song that I wrote, it was very quick and easy for me to write, and I actually got emotional while singing my own lyrics to myself. Besides, I tried to make it very heartwarming. And yes, I really think "Vivo" is so underappreciated and it needs more love. So even though I'm a younger teenage girl in high school, I'm writing the musical because I think the movie is PERFECT as a Broadway show, and also because I want to finally be able to give it a chance to shine on the stage in the future.

What Else Can I Do is my favorite song! We finally have a movie with characters of Latin roots and I feel so represented as isabela. The perfect, silent beauty, with great grades and never disobeys. I always felt so much pressure that i can't be myself or make any mistakes because everyone always assumes everything is easy and perfect for me. When I first heard What Else Can I Do I started crying because of sadness and happiness. I felt as though i myself will never break out of my perfection image but i felt happy that at least a fictional character like Isabela could and is living so much better now. Definitely my favorite Disney Heroine. (Super underrated song and character imo. I felt as though the other songs were getting advertised more and released earlier so that they wouldnt flop and so what else could I do would stand out, but ended up doing the opposite.

[@aydenkelly6274]

"I am Moana" is especially powerful because you draw your individual strength from your ancestors, and there is a core proverb that translates as "look back in order to move forward." When Moana realises that the voyager she is at her core is *not* betraying her lineage, because she comes from millennia of voyagers (even though recent generations grew fearful), and they then appear and reinforce/reinvigorate her, it is amazing. Makes me cry every time.

Also her line when says "I'm not fine...I'm not fine." IT DESTROYED ME!

stay alive, stay alive reprise, and your obedient servant is so slept on, I said what I said. in fact, I use the end of YOS inside my head when somebody really gets on my nerves. sometimes my mom really do that FRFR. I be like, then stand mother, weehawken, dawn, guns, drawn. I really wouldn’t do that, but she honestly be pressing those buttons. honestly what else can I do is a secret song.

[@dorahernandez5801]

"One More Song" and "Keep The Best" and "Inside Your Heart" is one of my favorite songs

[@anahi_naya_ledesma]

All the people who loved Encanto should go and see VIVO right now!!! It is really beautiful !!!

[@allisonbergh4429]

I would go so far as to say ALL of Bring It On is underappreciated. It’s certainly no Hamilton (or even 21 Chump Street), but it featured more Broadway debuts than anything ever, incorporated truly groundbreaking choreo, not to mention trans representation that was just part of the character, not the entire character, and the most impressive quick change I’ve ever seen DURING AN ACROBATIC LIFT.

i first watched hamilton liek a year and a half ago, and im STILL pbsessed with the schulyer sister dresses, especially elizas dresses, every single version of it

[@Totally_Not_Levi15]

Take a break deserves more its amazing and its so cute of a song with Anthony as phillip

[@saratruex5783]

Know Who You Are from Moana is so beautiful, can't think about it without crying! Thank goodness it's not longer - I would never recover.

[@mariezvackova2643]

I believe Dos Orugitas is unfairly underappreciated...I LOVE the song and it's great, it's a shame it's overshadowed by We don't talk about Bruno and Surface Pressure....don't get me wrong, the whole soundtrack is a masterpiece but the fragility and loveliness of Dos Orugitas is unfortunately overlooked :/

[@IzzyQueen12]

Yeah, and some people even dislike the song too:(

[@Soccergrrl2001]

It did get the Oscar nomination.

[@angiewilson692]

Dos Oruguitas is literally my favorite song from Encanto. It’s literally on my repeat list on Spotify.

[@fairyblu6929]

I love the sing a lot. It's so sweet, the tune is amazing and it summarises a big part of Abuela's cgaracter effortlessly and in such short time. But I am a little tired of people saying it's underrated. It really isn't. It's the most performed song of the entire track and the one that got the Oscar nomination.

[@gtucci02]

Honestly it’s probably because it’s not English. I love that song so much even though I don’t 100% understand the lyrics. It makes me cry. The English version however just doesn’t do it for me. But I also think every other song from the movie is amazing.

[@tsharabrown3719]

Hurricane always was remarkable to me because I heard Congratulations and Burn first. So my initial reaction was, "Wow, how could anyone be so f-ing stupid?" Hurricane helped me understand, even though it did not excuse his actions. I also really enjoy singing it, which always helps.

[@auntieelaine]

How could you leave out Almost Like Praying?? It's utterly epic and definitely overlooked much of the time.

[@Fire-ks6wn]

I love What Else Can I Do It lives in the core of my head rent-free along with Surface Pressure and Waiting On a Miracle while We Don't Talk About Bruno lives on the edge of my brain (but it's still there, obviously)

[@ms.gabrieladelcarmenprecia6425]

Im so glad VIVO was mentioned. This cartoon is so under appreciated. Specially “my own drum”

[@Starwarsfanboy0928]

That makes me sad to know that What Else Can I Do is under appreciated. Which is a real shame because I think it’s as amazing all the other songs from the film.

[@cassie1264]

There's a lot of Isabella hate because she spends half the movie being mean to Miribel. But I think the song shows how she is just as traumatized by the family curse ( I mean "miracle"). There's so much to unpack in that song. As an armchair psychologist, I am having a lot of fun with Encanto. 😂

[@Starwarsfanboy0928]

@@cassie1264 Then again Mirabel also hated Isabella until the song as well.

[@sarahvenable4710]

Lin-Manuel Miranda created the most beautiful pieces of music EVER!

[@hryanosaur1669]

Theodosia and Enough are, in my opinion the two most under appreciated songs in Hamilton.

[@enola2250]

Colombia, Mi Encanto is an underrated Lin-Gem 💎

[@AndyKunkel]

No such thing as an underappreciated Lin Manuel Miranda song, they're all appreciated.

[@juliacornejo7802]

It's weird, all of the songs in this list I absolutely LOVE!! Most of them I would consider favorites because I listen them all the time

[@khalidhenry3857]

Remember that no matter what your race is, what your gender identity is, what your sexuality is, no matter what your religion is, if you have a disability you’re an amazing and valid human being.

[@PerfectlyImperfect93]

“What Else Can I Do?” is my favorite song from Encanto!!💜💕✨

[@Alicia_257]

Champagne is my absolute favourite song! And idk why but when i heard ‚one more song’ for the first time i thought this will be all of us when (hopefully many many years from now knock on wood) lin will pass away. Such a dark thought but that song is so magical..

[@codenameu.arctos3747]

Dos oruguitas is one that flies under the radar but is absolutely lovely.

[@ElykRindon07]

"Underappreciated Songs Written By Lin-Manuel Miranda" hmmm those words is it even possible to use them in a sentence like that?

[@JustMe-xp6pl]

apparently and sadly, yes

[@tracanne1234]

Lin-Manuel is so(x100) talented!!!!!! Fantastic!

[@llyofthevlly_]

I saw Vivo and immediately CAVED!! I love the movie so much. It made me cry everytime I watched it.

[@ACL-iu2qf]

21 Chump Street is a pure masterpiece!!!
