Rebecca's Best Solos In Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

suggested by Agostina Luz Macchiaroli!

[@thesacredduck1442]

yes I am being a little liberal with the word ‘solo’ but… you get it. Bonus points for songs that are more heartfelt/moving and more important to Rebecca’s individual character arc (but obviously more points for good vocals and generally good songs lol - gotta have that balance)

[@GB-xt7zm]

Rebecca's reprise makes me so sad. It's so depressing.

[@maxaustin3377]

GB999444 it’s the only song I can think of in the whole series that doesn’t have a single joke in it

[@GB-xt7zm]

That moment when you get to number three and realise that one of the best songs in the show isn't going to make the list - what on earth happened to Oh My God I Think I Like You?

[@lindseycassella3015]

Right? That song is underrated.

[@thesacredduck1442]

Martin Yates love that song! I only had a few spots available for not-so- heartfelt/moving songs and I chose to give them to the most vocally impressive and plot-significant solos. Oh my god I think I like you is a great comedy song but for me it’s just not the most impressive solo

[@Paradoxymoronic]

@@thesacredduck1442 That is a fair response, though I feel we'll still disagree! I think personally I find Oh My God I Think I Like You a lot more heartfelt than you seem to - I think it was one of our first insights into Rebecca's specific vulnerability around love (which later gets expanded upon - I actually think her Reprise of Face Your Fears (also could have easily been on this list!) shows how in denial she is about how she puts up walls to love - we'd already seen in OMGITILY that she has this vulnerability before she really acknowledges it herself!) I know it comes down to tastes - but I find, for example Love Kernals to be less engaging and less impressive vocally than OMGITILY, and could have easily been substituted for it. Obviously though I know that personal tastes also come down to it - for example, objectively I know that After Everything You Made Me Do is amazing vocally, I find it harder to rank as highly as you because I cannot help but compare it to After Everything I've Done For You, which I think is more impressively vocally (though the breath control required for AEYMMD is outstanding!) TL:DR - I think OMGITILY is more moving than it might seem on the surface, but accept personal tastes differ!

[@thesacredduck1442]

Martin Yates you make a good argument! I can definitely see where you’re coming from

[@felicityash2763]

Me: what could possibly be above A Diagnosis? *two seconds later* Ah yes, valid choice

[@laurenredding1419]

My exact thoughts lol

[@Falconeggplant]

The first time I heard Rebecca's Reprise, I had to stop watching for a while and just fell apart. The song hit something deep within me, and I still tear up at that song.

[@pineappleprism1852]

I’m a Patrick too, did you like Tell Me Im Okay? 😂

[@Falconeggplant]

@@pineappleprism1852 Tell Me I'm okay is a mid-tier song for me. I never complain when it comes on, but I very rarely seek it out to listen to it. I usually only listen to it when I want to indulge in a bit of narcissism. Lol

[@pineappleprism1852]

😂 what’s your favorite song? I really like The Darkness and We’ll Never Have Problems again right now

[@Falconeggplant]

@@pineappleprism1852 I have a different favorite song based on my moods, but my go-tos are "Maybe This Dream," "The Miracle of Birth," "I Go to the Zoo," and "Strip Away my Conscience." "We'll Never Have Problems Again," in particular, is always high up, and I can appreciate "The Darkness."

[@koko8maroco]

is it too much to ask for a video ranking every single song from the show

[@thesacredduck1442]

the closest i've gotten is my top 60 video, which took a while to rank... i gotta admit i am still tempted to do the whole lot at some point (and some of my opinions have changed since i made that so... we'll see!)

[@court9311]

Yes.

[@nyxcal]

I think it would be, but I would maybe do it as a dedication to my favorite show (CXG)

[@GodheadNee]

I love (Tell me I'm Okay) Patrick. It's weirdly beautiful and over-the-top silly in just the same way Alfie was, and the way Seth Green and Rachel Bloom performed together was incredible and I wish they'd make a pilot together. I don't disagree with your list like, at all, because how could you do it any other way, but... I still feel like Patrick is underrated. Maybe make a most underrated song list for ones that give you that vibe? Also, I love your videos, thanks for taking the time to make them!

[@kileydav8913]

Best narrator songs like Santa Ana Winds, Dream Ghosts, End of the Movie

[@thesacredduck1442]

ooh nice idea, i'll add it to the list!

[@kitschesque]

Please!

[@bird8879]

After Everything I’ve Done For You only being at 3 is a bold move

[@thesacredduck1442]

definitely my personal favourite of the lot! its the turning point of the whole show really - such a game changer. i get chills everytime, i just love it. the two above it are more significant for rebecca as a character though in terms of her personal growth/introspection, which is why i gave them higher spots

[@sharkoroblarto]

Hasn't it been number one in two other videos though? 3 strikes and you're out we can't fill the quota this quickly

[@thesacredduck1442]

Sherriff Timothy T. Skulleater haha both have been first in a few different videos before - just depends on the specific criteria for each vid (you stupid bitch is my number one in a few I have coming soon as well which makes me feel bad and repetitive but... it usually does deserve that top spot I can’t lie)

[@hettyfox]

i love it so much and the fact she performed it while singing is amazing.

Strip Away is definitely my favorite song of the whole show. So proud of seeing it here. Xoxo from Brazil

My top 5 Rebecca's Solos: 1) Strip Away My Conscience 2) I'm The Villain in My Own Story 3) Sex With A Stranger 4) Feeling Kinda Naughty 5) You Ruin Everything

[@veeaweknee1037]

strip away my conscience is one of my top favs definitely not because i think rachel and scott look really good 😳

[@GB-xt7zm]

West Covina at number 9? I get the vocals aren't that amazing but it's the first song. Wait, I am biased towards nostalgia. Nevermind

[@thesacredduck1442]

tbh i am sad that one had to be so low down but it's one of the less meaningful ones (and definitely one of the less solo-y ones) so i couldn't put it any higher in good conscience

Some of these are so sad. I was watching the finale concert they did, and, when Rachel sang You Stupid Bitch and did the whole "sing with me" part, I imagined that, in that audience, I couldn't have sung along. Not because of the quality of the song, but because I just want to hug Rebecca and tell her that everything will be OK.

I need a s/o who will let me sing this to them at karaoke (seems a bit low to me) 7) Tbh have never listened to this one that much 6) This song is fantastic and did everything it needed to in a beautiful way, music, lyrics, and video 5) Oh this just rips my heart out. This self imposed denial out of all the pain. 4) I felt this on a personal level. I think everyone does and we don’t talk about it. There’s a strange comfort in it. 3) Watching this was SO AWESOME. So much build up to this moment!!! Tho imagine hearing this song with no context lol 2) I can’t really say much on this. It’s a great song that I’m sure a lot of people feel but I just don’t. 1) Maaaan I have existed in this state and it’s an interesting.
