A Song A Day: Day 96
I’d Rather Be Me - Mean Girls
Samantha Pauly, who plays Katherine Howard in Broadway’s SIX the Musical, is bringing you one song every day while we’re all in quarantine! All songs have been requested by fans and friends alike. To send in your request, find her on Instagram @sampauly

[@bo5727]

Samantha is the only person who allowed to flip me off

[@yourmomswife390]

Exactly 😂

[@melanahomer3841]

AMEN

[@alittleantidote5852]

Her and Barret 😝

[@AnthonyLeachman-sc6es]

​@@yourmomswife390 I love this song

[@niamh8920]

When she raises her right finger but it's actually her left

[@enfjftw]

The camera probably flips it around

[@emjay1354]

Yes, it's just flipped. When she wears her Queen shirt on Six days, it's also mirrored.

[@jer9grant]

Sam's instagram is constantly mirrored, as far as I can tell: her SIX hoodies, QUEEN shirt, "Sorry I'm busy I have plans with my greyhound" shirt, Gene's shirts during the live on her birthday, et cetera

[@niamh8920]

Oh okay lol 😂

[@jolinepulliam4785]

Actually it's mirrored looking like it's her right but it's her left

[@marianaarias6750]

I love the vibrato she adds to the “I’d rather be me” part. I like Barrett’s but I seriously need either Samantha or Alicia Corrales-Connor to be Janis next!

[@evablas1978]

Mariana Arias I agree! Usually when a vibrato appears in a belt it ‘s because it’s being excuted healthily,more than provoked,so she really took a great turn on the song!

[@Victoria-_]

Me too!!

[@marlaa222]

*e d g y s a m*

[@coffeefrog3207]

*b e s t s a m*

[@keslyncay3574]

MAKE THIS GIRL THE NEXT ON BROADWAY JANIS

[@parkergreaves9975]

The one dislike is Regina George

[@Gretaisworking]

Such a healthy belt I'm jealous

[@kyrapearson6239]

I could see Samantha Pauly as Janis. ❤

[@skyjoe55]

"Instead of watching something you watched 100 times" ok but now i definitely need to go rewatch Mean Girls.

[@JahniSquared]

This is my favorite song from the Mean Girls album!! 😍 Also when you said "today will be our last..." I thought you were going to say it was the last cover and I was scared for a sec

[@elle_hamm17]

I can’t believe we are almost at 100 days!

[@eumeeangela]

The 4 dislikes are Regina, Gretchen, Karen and Regina's second account

[@siennaaburto2835]

Yay this is probably one of my favorite songs from the whole show!!

[@alsieidrup2782]

I can so see her as Janice! 💗

[@maraudersloversandhaters3883]

This is the song I need to remember in my middle school. I love your voice (as well as you in general) soooo much!!!!!!

[@ThatFandubGirl]

You give me strong Elphaba vibes, I dont know if that's just me, I dont know if you have played Elphaba before. But if you havent, I think you would make such a great one, you have that higher belt that she has, which suits her more than Janis

[@wumbe3520]

She has done some Elphaba songs

[@jamie.lynn004]

Been obsessed with Mean Girls lately, living for this!!❣

[@adisynnefransen1066]

YAAAAAS!!!!!!! I love mean girls!!!!

[@elle_hamm17]

You are sooo good! This is something that keeps me happy in quarantine!

[@strawbxerrii875]

I still don’t know what to comment....

[@dookieboody]

•Strawbxerrii• we’re all speechless I get u she’s amazing.

[@dookieboody]

JANIS JANIS!!

[@amelierosemusic]

oh my god yes!!!!! I was talking with my friend about how good your voice would sound singing this song

[@yunahmayh]

HOW FITTING! I've been binge listening to this song. Damn.

[@Austin_doodles]

I just finished watching this on isnta xD This is Beatiful :>

[@noodlearg9745]

I love this song so much but I hate how in the recording (and in live performances aswell) she goes I’d rather be MAAAYYY THAN BAYYY WAYYYYTH YAOUUUU

[@juno_likes_stars3085]

I hate it too! It Barrett's (Janis) defence she played Veronica in Heathers and it destroyed her voice and the long e sound is one of the hardest vowels to belt

[@jer9grant]

Vowel modification~ Happens a lot on high belts since those require a lot of space.

[@noodlearg9745]

Jeri Grant I know but like when you do that you should mix and sing a and e at the same time and not go full a

[@sierrav4289]

5:23 we all strive to be like Janis

[@lilamitchell8305]

I love you you’re amazing

[@Anonymous-eo2er]

Can you do more heathers songs? Fight for me or lifeboat maybe

[@cory3348]

HOW DOES ONE SING LIKE YOU :((((

[@selenek-t2237]

@Lydia DeBord Yes! I agree with you. Middle school can be hard and you should always stay true to you. Incredible job Sam! You are so talented. I admire you so much. Keep being the amazing person you are.

[@lilythefreakx]

She raised her left finger

[@acbarrelracer9541]

And now all we need is Barrett to do a cover of All You Wanna Do😌

[@luna_elvenstar]

YES OMG SHE WOULD BE SO GOOD AT THE RIFFSSS

[@tommyratkiewicz-stierwalt3080]

The Queen strikes again! ♥️🙌🏽🎭🎵

[@juliapenta8558]
