Starkid/TCB | Solos Ranked

I own none of the clips in this video. They all belong to Starkid Productions and Tin Can Bros.

[@LosTrilocos]

No matter how many musicals Starkid makes - I think we can all agree no song will ever top If I believed

[@aaaaaaa-vm1oi]

I- are we gonna ignore how Ginny is several ranks above Cho Chang lmao

[@maiajoyb]

I mean it rhymes...

[@josiedahlinghaus9406]

It do be rhyming tho

[@mb-176]

I unironically love the lack of rhymes in Cho Chang

[@amityislandchum]

Orphaned at 33 is so underrated in this fandom.

[@humanbeing9674]

Ok but unpopular opinion: Orphaned at 33>I Steal Everything

[@amityislandchum]

@@humanbeing9674 I can't quite agree with that, because I LOVE "I Steal Everything" more than life itself. Jeff was actual perfection in that show.

[@flanimationstudios2753]

I’d have to totally agree! The melody was so much nicer and it was just a real good song. I steal everything was more of a “parody” on One Jump and Orphaned at 33 was like a new song and i thought that was hilarious

[@TheBuddsO]

Right!! I love all the songs in Twisted so much but for some reason that one always stuck with me like years later I'd find myself singing it it's just hilarious and has such a Disney-like melody that it feels like a real Disney song which I love :) I truly don't understand why people don't like it, I think Jeff sounds the best he's ever sounded. I understand in Twisted rankings because literally every Twisted song is so good, but in ones like these I'm so confused why it's always at the bottom :(

[@amityislandchum]

@@flanimationstudios2753 Yes! I felt like it worked as a parody of Disney in general, since ALL of the main characters have at least 1 dead parent. The idea that even a fully grown adult would still be considered an orphan is so perfect. "I have no Mom or Dad.... *THEY DIED."* will never not be funny!

[@alexknudsen7103]

Unpopular opinion: Tom’s solos are amongst some of StarKid’s best solo songs, and are two of my absolute favorite songs in BF

[@thehedsrambler7964]

Right? What Tim Wants was the song that got me invested in Black Friday and I cried during it. And then If I Fail You One More Time got me crying again as well. (Then again, I have daddy issues. Daddy issues, out my ears. Daddy issues out the wazoo. So like, for me, seeing a father love and care about his child and try his best for them gets me right at the core.)

[@benfish7813]

A POPULAR OPINION IN MY BOOK.

[@pottergamer1414]

Agreed

[@orsinov]

AGREED

[@scifigeek14]

agree. his 2nd solo kicks me in the heart everytime.

[@jazzyboyem7b569]

Stutter just got massacred, bro. Straight up demolished.

[@kiki8792]

Agreed

[@Addy0302]

If I Believed getting the respect it deserves

[@awesomewolf26]

I'm glad we all agree Spy Again is the best thing and that Joey's rendition of coldest goodbye got its recognition but I'm also here for all the TTO and Starship representation

[@terryjackson-chubick2506]

I think "Coolest Girl" is extremely underrated, but it was nice seeing it a bit higher.

[@music-ft8ro]

Yes, I totally agree. And I'm very glad that this is higher than Show Stopping Number

[@sumguy789654]

These videos are all just an excuse to relisten to all of these songs and I feel no shame.

[@jazzyboyem7b569]

“To have a home” is just so beautiful.

[@annaschreiner7722]

The who-would-seek-employment-dance is such a mood. I love it. Edit: Low key mad that Monsters and Men is so low :( The Saf studio versions are so much better so i understand why they are ranked low.

[@MollyMonstrosityxxo6]

If I Fail You is honestly one of the best songs Starkid has ever created and it breaks my heart every time I see it rank so lowly on lists.

[@brooke4502]

I’m glad Beauty is so high, I really like that song and Brant is a good singer

[@nigerianprincess101]

I am fully aware that Dylan Saunders solos can't all be number 1 and yet I'm still just a tad annoyed

[@mylahobbit1815]

live commenting corey did not deserve this shunting - big t's temptation is good shit. same with stutter that dance is so iconic. also i know everyone doesn't seem to like dylan's solos in black friday but if i fail you is so beautiful. you are drinking your respect aj holmes juice though, props for that. 19:30 oh. all is forgiven. that you so much for including that it's so beautiful and the most poignant moment in the show I love it. 21:00 hell yeah, to have a home is such a fucking good song. its my go to emotional audition song. 22:13 aaaaand there's my go to all-around audition song. sidekick fucking rocks. 23:00 YES SPIES ARE FOREVER RIGHTS 23:40 YESSSSSSSSSSS I FEEL LIKE NO ONE APPRECIATES JUST HOW GOOD THIS SONG IS, IT FUCKING RIPS YOU APART and of course if i believed is perfect question: what exactly is your definition of a solo? if not your seed qualifies with one lead singer and backup vocals, does inevitable qualify?

[@kingbaco1233]

Tbh I always thought what do you say and black Friday were such bops in the musical....they were getting slept on so hard

[@penn9128]

I think from a narrative perspective, Inevitable doesn’t count purely because the song is about Paul becoming part of a whole. (also the song wouldn’t have the same impact without the backup)

[@arianafrias646]

if i believed is honestly so good every single time it never loses that magic for me

[@kalebtighe9124]

*waits for kick it up a notch*

[@joshreed2877]

Notice how Joey got 30% of the top ten yeah there’s a reason

[@yourownmother9604]

@@plant9288 why?

[@asterliketheflower6060]

your own mother Most people hate Barb as a character. She’s just a character that is an annoyance every time she’s onstage and Tessa is a great actress and singer, but Barb is not the role for her.

[@yourownmother9604]

@@asterliketheflower6060 She's certainly not my favorite characters, but I still think shes alright. I can see why people would think that though

[@ezelfrancisco1349]

@@asterliketheflower6060 I didn’t like Barb as well, but I kind of figured she was supposed to be the Q of the group so I didn’t dislike it that much

[@vhaascrochet]

I was stunned when show stopping was #20, but I didn’t realize how many other glorious feature pieces there are!

[@penn9128]

Same tho! Pleasantly surprised though. I love SSN as much as the next TGWDLM lover, but as a solo it’s nowhere near as impactful/meaningful as the top spots.

[@molcoups]

Can we all just say that this shows how talented they all are!!They just bless my ears!😍

[@emilyelizabeth5911]

I love Coolest Girl, Sidekick, and To Have a Home so much because they’re all perfect representations of Hermione, Ron, and Harry.

I'm never gonna get over Joey's face in Big T's Temptation EDIT: Jeff's songs in Twisted deserve so much more love, by far his best role IMO!

Thank you for recognizing Beauty!! It's literally my second favourite Starkid song.

[@elle_hamm17]

How?? How did you do this?? These are all do good?!?!?

[@skyepapa]

witchcraft, obviously

THANK YOU for putting When The World’s At Stake so high! I’ve never cried as hard at a Starkid song as I did at WTWAS.

[@luisagf1385]

Wtf Harry and Stutter are so low on the list! I love these songs

[@jessifero]

I'm so happy to see Black Friday so high. *sob*

[@luisagf1385]

It's so sad that You Gotta Go is so low bc it's such a beautiful song but the farts ruin everything 😢

[@caitlinsmith5075]

Yes for the Starship love

[@qstionblomens6138]

“Black Friday” finally getting the respect it deserves 😭😭😭

[@shannonkenny5074]

i don't think that it's the best song, but show stopping number should NOT be below dysentery world???

[@kayliek4057]

Also neither of those are solos ._.

[@btec.pigeon]

Kaylie K how I’d show stopping number not a solo? Cause 2 people come in at the very end? Nah it’s a solo

[@kayliek4057]

Katie Lough it is for the majority but they both come in at the end so he’s not singing alone anymore. And dysentery world definitely isn’t.

[@btec.pigeon]

Kaylie K no dysentery isn’t but I see where they’re coming from wirh it. I still thought there were other solos they didn’t include but show dropping number is definelty a solo

[@missybarnes7400]

@@kayliek4057 they are solos they have backing vocals if that is what its called. but i would count them as solos

[@rainey_day128]

Orphaned at 33 and I Steal Everything were BRUTALISED in this list. I mean not even over HALF!!!!!!! Disgraceful (Love the starship rep tho keep it up ❤❤❤)

Some of these songs are great for auditions!

[@emilyelizabeth5911]

I’m sorry Dragon Song is not a solo, it’s a duet obviously

[@IAmNotActuallyAustralia]

This video messed with my emotions so much. I agreed with some, but others not so much. I liked the list though.

[@sadplatinum2039]

*"You tied up my heart" is still being dirtied on* *(Edit: So is Barb's lament tot)* *(Another edit: SO IS STUTTER!?)* *(Yet another: Oh come on, If I fail you should at least be in the top 10)* *(Another: Lowest I've seen show-stopping number)*

[@lillian2579]

Generally i prefer the melody of If I Fail You to What Tim Wants, but if I'm watching through BF I skip it because it's five minutes long and i don't really want to listen to it. When I watched it for the first time (and now) I was really done with it because the show was almost at the end, and there's this long ballad that ruins the flow of the show for me. I really think it should've been cut at least in half, probably after the first chorus.

[@thatonestarkidfan3918]

Omg congrats on 2K subs!!!! I was subbed before you even had 100 😅

[@kandyappleview]

Twisted is my #1. and idk if Independence counts as a solo but that song is hard af! and i would put aj's songs higher but he is my favorite starkid so i'm biased 😊

[@darthrighty]

Ngl I expected Twisted to be counted as a solo, it's absolutely one outside of the villains

[@48917032]

You Gotta Go should have been played straight - no farting, and actual deaths. It's actually a very touching song that way.

[@Clara-fs7pu]

If I fail you is my top 1 right now

[@scifigeek14]

im sorry but orphaned at 33 should be above dragon song... lol

[@malinicorrea9379]

Okay now what the fuck kick it up a notch reprise should be NUMBER 1 I WILL DIE ON THIS HIL-

[@lightningmoon13]

wait, did I not pay attention or was “into the night” not on here? I thought that was a solo but I haven’t listened in a while

[@MEG4nerd]

Me reading the comments: Stutter was robbed? So it didn't make top ten then.... Me when stutter comes up: 34! 34! Last year last year it was top ten I watched it myself

[@kingbaco1233]

This was a really really weird list......mightve gotten mixed up with the "robot randomly ranks" videos

[@susannamargo6933]

I think What Tim Wants deserves a higher position. But it is a pretty accurate rank

[@kirstie5028]

My Top 2 are the same!!!

[@frog9524]

Unpopular opinion: You Tied Up My Heart and Orphaned at 33 are better than 90% of the songs in Black Friday In addition, I just don't really like the lyrics in BF songs generally- they just don't sound smooth lol

[@yuvalmaharshak5566]

Agree in my opinion every song in bf is average(except feast or famine and what do you say)

[@alastairblevins3992]

What Tim wants was done dirty- Edit: Okay you fixed it by putting Black friday and Number two-

Why does everybody hate Orphaned at 33😣

[@lillian2579]

I'm going to get murdered for this, but I think If I Believed is just ok? The lyrics are amazing and everything of course, but i just prefer other songs and sounds.

[@evievalerierogers5246]

i think i may be the only person who loves you gotta go

[@FloreMar-yp3iz]

Same tho. I mean, Corey Dorris is the best ;-; as well as his version of You Gotta Go

[@stormknight2931]

Farting noises ruin it, I think. Without them song would be better for listening

[@szczypior2714]

I totally disagree with this ranking. The only placements I agree with are "Not Your Seed" and "Sidekick" being high on the list and "If I believed" being first But like, "Wizard of the year" being so low?? "If I fail you" so underrated? "Life" higher than both of them???? "What Tim Wants" at the very bottom D': Now, the fact that I disagree with it doesn't mean you've done a bad job, I'm just friendlily disagreeing xDD

[@nitxxizolivohernandez2463]

That top 7 is questionable
