[@w.elliecoolio]

OMG IM FIRST HI

[@macievanlith2236]

I’m second

[@tdawgvasinger2812]

you should do Waiting On A Miracle!!

[@kakajsakol7236]

Rip I'm broke

[@seabearninja4060]

😢im sorry to hear that

[@metaknightmare1234]

Idk if you noticed, but another fun fact about this song is that mirabels part where she goes "you just seemed like your life's been a dream since the moment you opened your eyes" has the same melody as Isabela's part in We Don't Talk About Bruno. There's a couple of times they do stuff like this in the soundtrack and it's very neat musically and thematically/symbolically for the plot/relationships.

[@bingusrapgod]

Yeah I noticed that and I was like omg! All of the songs connect in a sense. It’s so cool!

[@franco1460]

In All Of You they sing with the melody of ALL THE SONGS

[@abbee_6557]

Same in the end, when they're rebuilding the house together (Luisa, Isagellq, and Mirabel)!

[@saudiphilippines]

@@franco1460 Including the opening of Let It Go!

[@raiAry]

@@franco1460 I thought that was the case but I thought I was crazy 😭 I heard it when Luisa said “sometimes I cry” and Mirabel & Isabela said “so do I”

[@itsEmmylie6857]

Compare her singing voice from "we don't talk about bruno" as the typical disney princess voice (high pitched, soft, etc.), and then this where she's being her true self and letting out her true voice.

[@ariannaward9115]

616

[@theparanoidandroid3583]

Good point!

[@seanwilliams7655]

Her speaking voice even changes after the song.

[@jonathanhill8551]

Encanto is like frozen, it was an instant hit, kids love it, and the songs are on repeat in practically every house in the world! The only diffrence? Well, I highly doubt anybody will get tired of listening to songs like THIS!

[@MC-ku4zz]

There is one difference tho. It had really bad Marketing. Where i lived no one know it even existed. Kinda sad as it is really amazing.

[@ultimxtemiracxler]

I mean everyone gets tired after listening it for so long. That doesn't mean it's a bad song.

[@MC-ku4zz]

@@Javajavajav Yeah this movie is amazing. Best Disney songs I heard in a long while, by far the best 3d animation from the Disney movie. The problem is that I didn't have any idea it came out or that it ever existed. Never saw a single ad on TV or anywhere else.

[@kristol569]

Except, Encanto is actually good

[@wisteriashika]

So true

[@dairyqueen9978]

Another great song is “Waiting On A Miracle!” It’s a really great song!!!

[@potatopig_2734]

Yes!! I love it!!!

[@lornalong4253]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS (and all of you "ok so were gonna talk about bruno"

[@xyz.maximoff2232]

definitely my all time favourite !!

[@YTFujiin]

@• 🌸 𝒮𝒶𝓀𝓊𝓇𝒶 🌸 • cap, it’s probably the worst song in encanto

[@lavendermarshmallowplant3229]

And Dos oruguitas. Has he listened to it yet?

[@tedtolliver572]

It's interesting to note that the melody at 3:12 is from Isabella's verse in "We Don't Talk About Bruno". A lot of leitmotifs are reused throughout the movie, such as "Dos Oruguitas" appearing in Abuela's verse of "The Family Madrigal". Plus "All Of You" is basically a big melting pot for all these melodies.

[@jackburke9364]

Leitmotifs!!! Music history!

[@susanalives]

Genius!!

[@anneboleyn1638]

It’s so amazing how Lin’s musical skills came into play with this! For on-stage musicals, this is always the case where songs melodies reused to tie the story in together- if ever you guys are into it, you can check out what he did with Non-Stop (Hamilton) which is what I think is the most similar to what he did with We Don’t Talk About Bruno! :)

[@elizaalmabuena]

might I add, I love the little detail of Isabella's vocalizations (the 'woooaah' s) when Mirabel is singing. It alludes to 'woe' (sorrow or distress) over the acted out perfect image she wants to break free off while Mirabel is singing about how she had only ever viewed Isabella as the perfect flower sprouting beauty.... then that background vocalization stops as soon as Mirabel becomes encouraging and mentions how great it is to see Isabella go beyond those constraints.

[@audreym3908]

Yes! I was wondering if anybody else noticed it too!

[@annapg.4626]

Isabela*

[@nbucwa6621]

At first it bothered me how Mirabelle's voice is almost overshadowed by Isabella's in the start of the song but now I realise that it was a purposeful choice and symbolises how Mirabelle feels so overshadowed by her sister but by the halfway point Mirabelle is matching her sister showing how she finally feels equal to her.

[@geetha92533]

That’s such a good observation!

[@lucasverzo5329]

I think in an interview, Lin Manuel Miranda said he wrote this song as inspired by the 90’s rock en español movement. Absolutely genius composition.

[@omar_catano]

Lin said for this song he was inspired by Shakira's 90's rock songs, I recommend you to listen to 'Pies descalzos' and ''Estoy aquí''. Disney did such an amazing job researching Colombian culture for this movie.

[@mittenista]

Do Waiting on a Miracle and I'll Subscribe!

[@Tyler_Mills26]

Ohmigosh I love Shakira's 90's rock songs xxx

[@kevinsantoso9956]

You should definitely react to Dos Oroguitas, it's such a beautiful song, encapsulates the story of Abuella and Abuello so perfectly. Guaranteed sobbing

[@lavendermarshmallowplant3229]

Agreed

[@tristanroycepagdatu6966]

I really like this man, the way he reacts to the song it's very intelligent and not just he highlights the breakdown of the instruments but the message of the song also New subscriber here...

[@beesfan]

The Rock Elements are because this song is heavily inspired in the "Rock En Español" movement that was very popular in South America 15-25 years ago

[@MonakalizasArt]

That's interesting, because Isa is supposed to be 21,

[@galateagalkiewicz233]

It's sounds very similar to Shakira songs in the 90's when she wasn't famous in usa

[@sofilupi]

I don't know about the rest of South America, but in Argentina 90's rock was very different, we called it Rock Nacional. The type of rock in this song is definitely inspired by Shakira

[@lurker1107]

Actually, it was very popular all over the Spanish speaking world. I am from Central America and I grew up with Rock en Español in the 80s and 90s.

[@Anna_Lindlau]

This is my new favorite duet in disney history sorry not sorry all you "whole new world", "loves and open door", "can you feel the love tonight?" fans out there.

[@evie_33]

its love is an open door. also didnt need to cal me out like that haha

[@Anna_Lindlau]

@@evie_33 lol I just shortened it, and they are good song just not as good.

[@BBatcat]

I find love is an open door really annoying, I had no idea people like it

[@Anna_Lindlau]

@@BBatcat honestly i find it annoying too, but that's just cuz i played it on loop when it came out lol

[@anhduynguyen396]

The 2 other songs are all are fine but I detest that song love is an open door lol 💀

[@CreativaArtly]

This song is so fun and definitely my favorite from the movie alongside Surface Pressure!!!

[@CodyMcManus]

I really liked this one too 😊

[@MakeTheUp1105]

@@CodyMcManus i liked it to we dont talk about bruno and all of you and this song ar amazing check out all of you to!

[@Steampunk_Willie]

Lin Manuel Miranda said that this song was based on the 90s Latin American rock scene, it is very similar to Shakira's songs from that era.

[@CodyMcManus]

oh cool! you can totally hear it 😊

[@k_tsukiya1143]

I definitely love this song a lot, it brings a very new variety into the songs of this movie

[@k_tsukiya1143]

btw the song changed from B major to C major, so it rises instead of drops

[@bubblesetn8100]

"I owe this song to you!" Is my favorite part, its so genetic and adorable. Isabela and Mirabel always disliked each other and getting to know each other was the best part of their sisterhood. So when she said that and hugged her, they were automatically my favorite sisters ever within Disney history.

[@TheLastSane1]

Nah Luisa and Mirabel are adorable together. Luisa's whole song shows her being under pressure but also throughout she is keeping her baby sister safe and even stops to fix her glasses. The Madrigal sisters are adorable. All three are so fun together. I really relate to Isabela and Luisa both have struggled and been under incredible stress their whole lives but both protect their sister because they love her. Isabela might be frustrated but she still pulls her up to stand with her during the song, she can see that mirabel was the cause of her seeing how she didn't need to restrict herself.

[@CoquetteHome]

i thought it was "i owe this all to you"

[@donttouchmyfries4055]

That key change at the end was probably to accommodate Maribel’s lower octave range but it sounds amazing regardless

[@thisispiamc]

this is the reaction that i was waiting for! it's my favorite song and i sang it for our performance in school and i got a perfect 100! thank you!

[@CodyMcManus]

wow nice work 😊

[@almostpsych]

I love that you did a series on Encanto! Lin Manuel Miranda directed his first movie Tic Tic Boom that was released on Netflix last year. I would really enjoy you reacting to a song from the movie "Come to Your Senses" sung by Alexandra Shipp and Vanessa Hudgens. It's such a great song and the two vocalists have such incredible chemistry! No pressure, just a recommendation.

[@FlynnTheRedhead]

The movei is called Tick Tick Boom, but yes please

[@Admiralfeb]

This song's animation was designed to be a large half-time show. If you notice behind Isabella, the wall of flowers starts matching her movements like a jumbotron and she gets a mic and a stage (palm tree) later.

[@camipineda6498]

According to Lin Manuel, this song is inspired by the 90's rock and pop music from Colombia ♥️

[@lacienealves1571]

A união desses estilos ficou maravilhosa.

[@pancnquesomwah3346]

mirabel’s part “just seems like your life’s been a dream…” sounds like isa’s solo in we dont talk abt bruno

[@azaru08]

I think its maybe from welcome to the family madrigal too.

[@malviestan5376]

The animation in this movie is phenomenal Disney really blew me away this time!!!

[@crissamanahan]

I absolutely love "What Else Can I Do?" It inspires someone who's not being true to themselves. The lines are really smooth, Like me. I wasn't being true to myself because of other people's. I was so sick of following what I should do that i did the things I wanted to see. I always listen to it because it reminds me you don't have to follow someone's footprints just to see your perfect reflection. Your bright mind has its own perfect way

[@bones9532]

What i like about your videos is that you give the comentary and analysis during the reaction. A lot of reaction channels will watch the video without saying a lot and then talk about it afterwards. I always get bored watching them just talk about the video, but you're really easy to watch since you react and talk at the same time which keeps it interesting and doesn't drag it out.

[@marimar2982]

everything about this movie is seriously impressing!!

[@IWishIHadARat]

OH MY GOSH EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO THIS SONG I HEAR SOMETHING NEW!! Even the music changes in this vs her part in we don’t talk about bruno

[@anaestay6698]

Lin-Manuel said he wanted a feeling of 90's latin rock. I think he did a fantastic job

[@reynamacias3154]

Such a bubbly person, so expressive , you bring out the happiness in similar people 💖 I would love to be watching anything with you because your reactions would be worth it !

[@raineeholmes566]

He is going to love "waiting for a miracle"

[@TheoryGuy83]

That half-time hit and I was instantly back in the early 90s in the best way possible.

[@septwenvi2510]

The way this song reprise Isa's part on We Dont Talk About Bruno but from a wider perspective made the story, music and lyrics of this movie just a big masterpiece!

[@supercoolrainbowslps2169]

I love Encanto pls do more reactions!

More to come 😊

[@unvoicedapollo3318]

One of the things I love about the soundtrack is all the subtle repetitions in certain sections of all these songs, which nearly all seem to be of their own style.

[@fabi45]

A fact about this song, Lin Manuel Miranda said in an interview that when creating this song he was thinking of all the songs of rock in Spanish that were really famous in the 90s

[@cristinasolano6487]

Lin Manuel Miranda said this song was inspired by 90’s Latin rock.

Encanto is literally SO GOOD I’ve just watched it and listened to it way to many times!!

[@brook3.hubbard]

I LOVE Encanto, I've watched it a trillion times. Me my brother and my cousin love the film so much we are making a pantomime of it

[@innerlyy]

At 3:00 you can hear her say “careful its carnivorous” lol

[@MiddletonPlays]

One of my favourites from this film!

[@PeachyM3]

What else can I do is my favorite song from encanto

[@ashp4613]

I love this movie. All of the songs have a great message, one person cant handle every family burden and a persons life isnt always as perfect at it seems.

[@elsiegreen2704]

I know the message of Encanto is your special or something like that but I feel like it is you need to let the expectations go. I know a saying, “A problem only gets bigger when your the only one carrying it” and I love it ❤️

[@avrileclay5182]

Its super amazing how isabella sounded like the TYPICAL DISNEY PRINCESS with a very soft small voice in her *HE TOLD ME ..* Part on we dont talk about bruno and then in this song when she realizes and finally have the courage to explore more about herself, she sounded like a popstar. ...

[@Demonetization_Symbol]

I love this song! It's one of my favorites!

[@kevingreen5229]

I just noticed that at 3:13 she is singing the same melody from We don’t talk about Bruno as her sister did then blended it into this song❤️

[@chefcito9802]

LET’S GOOOO! I love this movie, the soundtrack and Isabela:) Please continue the reactions!

[@12345678abracadabra]

contextually its also cool that shes been the perfect little princess and shes expressing her rebellious side with something thats a little bit punk

[@Ddeonu-Stan1245]

Okay You've Reacted To "We Don't Talk About Bruno" And "Surface Pressure" Now Its "What Else Can I Do" The Next one Is Probably "The Family Madrigal" You'll Know All Their Powers In There Its A Very Happy Fun Song :D

[@GBEATZ2011]

Great share thanks, I get a low key Soca vibe in the beginning of this song and then it transitions into the oldies soft rock movement.

[@E_btsot798]

this song gives me shivers every single time

[@akhmadkhalim536]

You know that "all of you" beautiful to I love it

[@kenchandrasena2070]

Just an FYI, Dos Origuitos is Lin Manuel Miranda's favorite song from that movie. You should react to it in the english and spanish versions! You can find the translation for the spanish version on youtube!

[@paminigel]

This is prob my fav song from encanto it’s so joyful and makes my heart open

[@yoghorlackerman5125]

I love her voice isn't her disney-princess-like voice from previous songs. She finally shows her true self- voice and all.

[@amberpants771]

She was originally supposed to be punk styled in her appearance so it’s cool how it still shines through the music

[@corvus1374]

Deliver, river, carniverous, shiver. I love Lin's rhymes.

[@julianabares]

Your reactions and excitement made me so happy. This is my favorite song from the soundtrack.

[@leoli1186]

At 3:30 the key is changing from B to C which is a key up. But the chord is changing from the Fifth in B(F#) to the Forth in C(F) so you get the feeling of dropping a key but actually it's rising.

[@zorayna]

I think the key drop in the final chorus is symbolic of Isabela and Mirabel finding common ground, Mirabel has had Isa up on a pedestal and when the key drops their voices blend in a more mezzo area as they come together emotionally as well

[@Sophroo]

This is one of my most favorite song from Encanto! ❤️

[@jethrostallard]

LOVE THIS SONG!

[@zukimixz_mochixz]

[@manuelparedes1229]

Colombia is known as the thousand sounds because of the variety of gendres of music all over the country’s regions

[@edgarlyy]

Goddddd, I just wish that you hear some versions on spanish, "we dont talk about bruno" in spanish just hits different🙌🙌

[@marchelof]

For this song, Lin Marulanda was inspired by the "rock en español" movement in the 90s in Colombia. The rhythmic pattern reminds me of Ekymosis in songs like La Tierra, which incorporated a more tropical sound using rhythms like the "champeta". There are also parts that remind me of Shakira's beginnings, in songs like "Ciega, Sordomuda"

[@riun]

I got so excited seeing this on My Recommendations 😭❤

[@VibeWithZalya]

you should DEFINTLEY react to Family madrigal it explains possibly EVERYTHING!

[@bethanyp8847]

Encanto is such a great movie! And the songs are amazing! If you’re looking for new people to react to, try Dimash or Faouzia. Faouzia is from Canada and has a wonderful low register and typically writes her own songs, I personally prefer her stripped versions, but since you’re a producer you’d probably enjoy the produced versions. She’s young and very talented and smart too! Dimash is from Kazakhstan and has been deemed by most as the greatest voice in the world. He has been training since he was 5 and has focused his studies in music now with a masters and possibly a doctorate (or at least working on one). Both are great options to react to. You have a great energy in your reactions! Enjoy!! 😁😁

[@iamileoliveira8175]

If you liked Encanto, you should definitely watch Lin's other works. Especially In The Heights
