Renee Rapp - "I'd Rather Be Mean" (Pronoun Showdown)

[@dandanmanlyman]

This girl was born to play Regina George.

I love how she *could* have gone for an empowering anti-bullying anthem, but she went 'nah my name is Regina George losers'

[@rino2451]

i mean janis was a mean girl too, she just happened to be an *unpopular* mean girl

[@art1st1cly]

agreed, I mean I kinda feel like she dragged Cady to basically take revenge on something Cady didn't even do

[@tonicaulfield294]

you watched that one youtube video, didn't you?

[@art1st1cly]

@@tonicaulfield294 I mean if you're referring to me, well I saw a comment once on a video about Janis also could possibly also be the antagonist I mean she kinda did but we all know Janis wouldn't take revenge (by using Cady) on Regina if she (Regina) didn't ruin their friendship in the first place

[@richardmoores]

Toni Caulfield haha me too

[@thecapsulecapture7102]

well the point of mean girls is that they’re all mean. regina’s mean for whatever reason, gretchen’s mean to please regina, janis is mean because the people in the school treated her terribly, damian and karen aren’t awful, and cady’s mean because she was influenced by regina and let the power go to her head.

[@emidxnielle]

“you’ll eat alone from this moment on cause that’s just what you’ll do” was so cute HA

“I’d Rather Be Me” really showcases her voice! What a great song for her!

[@kelsey1696]

1:31 You guys are really sleeping on this joke. She’s talking about Jason Weems, the guy who wanted to “guess girls bra sizes” in Mean Girls.

BRUH IK I LOVE IT

i noticed and it gave me life.

[@disneytwst5658]

I wanna see a show with her as Janis and Barrett as Regina now P.S Can we not be mean to Barrett

I would genuinely sell my house to see this happen

[@anwensheppard8030]

yessss 100%

[@masonzale9780]

JJV1224 I don’t think she would SUCK. It’s not normally her casting type, but she could pull it off. Valid opinion tho

Barrett as Regina OMG

@JJV1224 youve clearly never heard the heathers soundtrack 😳

[@cinnominbubble]

Me, with my words like knives And my swords and weapons that I used against you I, have knocked you off your feet again, Got you feeling like a nothing You, with your voice like nails On a chalk board, calling you out when you're wounded Me, picking on the weaker man Well, I can take you down With just one single blow But you don't know what you don't know Someday I'll be living in a big old city And all I'm ever gonna be is mean Someday I'll be big enough so I can't hear you Yes, all I'm ever gonna be is mean You won't twist in knots to join my game Then you say I make you mad And when I treat you bad You say "you're bad" And you'll eat alone from this moment on That's just what you'll do 'Cause you'd rather be me You'd rather be me You'd rather be me than be like You, with your teeth like corn And your high pitched voice And your lack of humour I have pointed out your flaws again As if you don't already see them You walk with your head down, Try to block me out 'cause you never impress me You just want to feel okay again So here's my right finger To how I should behave 'Cause sometimes what's meant to break you Just makes you brave Someday I'll be living in a big old city And all I'm ever gonna be is mean Someday I'll be big enough so I can't hear you I don't need their good opinions I have plenty of opinions Everybody has opinions but it doesn't make them true What's true is being me And I'd rather be mean I'd rather be me than be like you So I'll raise 'em high 'cause playing nice and shy would be insulting to my IQ You'd rather be me (I'd rather be you) You'd rather be me (I'd rather be you) You'd rather be me than be like you! (I'd rather be you) I'd rather be mean (I'd rather be you) I'd rather be mean (I'd rather be you) I'd rather be mean than be like me

Came here after looking up who will be the next Regina George after Taylor Louderman and man I’m not disappointed. 👏

[@laurenoberdorf6753]

I mean, at least she’s being honest

That ending belt sounded so much healthier than Barrett's shouty belt. Perfect vibrato, and she actually sung "me" rather than "mayyyyy"

[@lunacy5772]

Is that how it works? Im sorry i am not versed in singing dos and don'ts but i do watch that one vocal coach that encourages changing the 'e' to an 'ay' in mixing

[@perdasche]

She says “mean” not “me”

[@venus-zi3ew]

@@lunacy5772 my vocal coach says the same thing. Sometimes it's easier to use ayy instead of ee. Also sorry this is really late 😅

[@lunacy5772]

@@venus-zi3ew Thanks for that! my memory can be..problematic at times lol, but glad to hear that it remembered correctly

[@cece-707]

@@lunacy5772 it is easier to sing an 'e' vowel as 'ay' if it's very high and you don't want to strain. but this is a note that barrett used to be able to sing with no issue before her heathers vocal damage, so i think people call it out because the 'ay' vowel draws attention to that strain in her voice and the fact her belt maybe isn't very healthy.
