[@Idkwhattocallmyselfonhere]

Before they released it they showed the behind the scenes of the songs and with the song from now on Hugh Jackman had been told he couldn't sing cause he had some type of cancer but he sang it and that is forever one of the best songs ever. Plus this is me the lady that sang it during the behind the scene there were so many tears. It's such a great musical the only one I know outside of high-school musical but its so top teir.

[@AkinReacts]

We might actually do a reaction to this

Needed this replay button🤣🤣

[@diandiaz9026]

The woman that sang never enough in the movie with lip singing Lauren Conrad is actually the one who sang the vocals for real

[@sarahsupasweet]

Anne isn't a freak because she's black, she's considered a freak because of her role as part of the circus. Her skin color does feed into that of course but it's not the exact reason she would be considered a "freak". If you notice when Phillip tries to take her to the theater, his father calls her "the help", and later during the circus fight when it catches fire, one of the strangers calls them "spooks" in reference to her brother. Both of those instances are referring to their skin color. In this time, people would find a reason to look down on them. So if they weren't black, people would look down on them for their class difference (being poor) or for simply being a part of a "circus"/their profession choice. But because they are black that is why you're seeing comments like "the help" and "spooks". They're dealing with racism. Phillip feels afraid at first to be with her because of this and that's why he lets go of her hand during the performance. Anyways, they are "normal" so the only reason they're "freaks" is because everyone who is part of the circus is lumped together. I dont know if I really explained that well. They face issues just like everyone in the circus but their problem is more centered in racism rather than being "freakish".

[@falsenostalgia-shannon]

For their part, I’ve always noticed that people outside of the US don’t quite “get” the particular flavor of racism here- especially in a film like this where the setting is the US in the 1800s. So that’s totally understandable.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Exactly!!!

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Actually I think this was the 1930's but don't quote me on that lol. @@falsenostalgia-shannon

[@OphepheVanessa]

She's a fral because she's black. Let's not put a pretty bow on it

[@imanindeen]

Considering Barnum actually bought slaves to put them in the circus, it was because they were black; though a lot of that is semantics, since they’re almost used synonymously.

[@wolfywox]

Not the scream at the kiss. 😂 My favorite thing about how they portrayed Jenny Lind is that she tells you exactly who she is from the start. Girl was out there singing "Never Enough" nightly, and she MEANT it!

[@maec8014]

That reaction to the kiss was the most hilarious I've seen in ages 🤣🤣🤣

[@Benz_Schmidt]

I love the Hype during This is Me!! 😂😂😂Best reaction eeever!!!!!! Keep them coming lads😂

[@arisol1011]

This soundtrack is chiefs kiss. I've watched this movie so many times and each song still gives me goosebumps.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Zendaya's character was considered a "freak" back then because she was mixed race, and that was highly frowned upon. Especailly when Zac Efron's character fell in love with her :) which is why he disowned his parents because he wasn't going to be racist like them.

[@forestcatkay14]

1:52 Didnt know Hugh could sing? Gotta check out Happy Feet he voices Memphis, Flushed Away voices Roddy, the Gaston battle between him and Luke Evans, and youve gotta see Not the Boy Next Door. Hugh’s been known for his singing for some time. 47:43 Best youtube reaction to that kiss! This is one of my top five favorite musicals. The King and I is one that I highly recommend checking out. Beautiful tale and while I like parts of Anna and the King more, the musical is one of a kind.

[@mariakal605]

I never realized Hugh was Memphis in Happy Feet! He made it such a fun Elvis-y character haha

[@forestcatkay14]

He did. It wasn't until years later that I learnt he was also Van Helsing though I've watched that movie almost relgiiously. One of the best monster movies imo@@mariakal605

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

He started in musical theatre before becoming an actor :)

[@lindsaynicole4812]

it will always shock me when people dont think disney child stars can sing. they are trained from a young age to be able to sing and act and sometimes even dance. thats why Zac and Zendaya have such good voices. zac has been in so many musicals...

[@ir3ri]

47:43 i love the reaction here😂

[@Surunasu]

You three are so wholesome and sweet!! I look forward to your reactions all the time, and Greatest Showman is one of my fav movies ever! So glad you guys saw it!!

[@kaitlynrosenberger5774]

And Zach and Zendaya did both sing for their song together

[@michellestewart1600]

The *This is Me response was so great to watch. 😆

[@karencalder8540]

Hugh Jackman was in the Broadway version of Oklahoma which he sang in. Also, Les Miserables if you haven't seen it there is an all star cast and great songs.

[@MsMusic4dance]

Zendayas character n her brother are different because of the color of their skin

[@AkinReacts]

Yeah and that’s still crazy to us

[@Emsev100]

I believe it's partly because of that. It's probably a combination of their skincolour, their outfits and the trapeze (I hope I spelled it right). Plus that they are acting in the circus know.

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

There's more to it than that lol.

[@jasminew9324]

I always love y’all’s reactions 😂❤ keep it up!

[@rionnamcleary]

Y’all ain’t know Zach from High School Musical??? Boy got vocals 😂

[@MayMay-ub9nm]

This movie is amazing, and I also did not know Hugh Jackman could sing but he actually has done Broadway performances also

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Yep he's in Les Miserables too :)

[@taybear2398]

As a dwarf, I too say “what at you looking at Flop-doodle?” 🤣🤣🤣 I say the most randomest things, I’m already getting looks, might as well make it fun

[@thenerdytiger9306]

9:36 no, he's not a child he's an adult, he has a condition called dwarfism.

[@eli_welli._.]

Back in the 1800s, adults were allowed to physically assault children that weren’t theirs if they felt insulted. But of course, it’s illegal nowadays and that’s a blessing in my opinion.

[@vampg8r]

you wanted to know why the trapeze act was considered an oddity? You have to remember the time frame this took place in. This is the early 1900s time period. African American entertainers were a rare thing to see and a lot of the country still segregated blacks from whites so it was shocking to see them in such a prominent position.

[@ObserverAmanda]

They don't specify exactly when, but it is set some time in the second half of the 1800s. It technically could have happened when slavery was still legal in parts of the US. It is impossible to pinpoint the specific time because this film is not trying to be accurate to history at all.

[@Emsev100]

True but we can get pretty close if we look up Barnum. However I do agree that we can't pinpoint the exact year since tha movie doesn't follow the real story.@@ObserverAmanda

[@ObserverAmanda]

This film and the actual history of Barnum should be considered totally separate. This film is almost entirely fictional and the "true" things are still not really accurate on the how, when, and/or even the who. The movie portrays things happening over a few years, but it was more like decades so this makes it hard to determine a specific time.

[@crystal_snow875]

Yess you've gotta watch the behind the scenes recording!! I cry everytime lol. and it was skin cancer on hugh jackmans nose that he had just gotten surgery on and they warned him he could tear the stitches. He went to the rehearsals with makeup covering over the stitches but at a certain point while he was singing he tore them open lol

[@sonjabirch4865]

Didn't expect y'all to be giving 9.5's for The Greatest Showman but I'm so here for it! 😂 The music and vocals in this movie are so underrated and it was awesome to see y'all vibing and recognizing how good it is. Also the plot is interesting - I know PT Barnum is a flawed main character, but that's what I liked about him! It's so realistic because you can see exactly why his own pride eventually became his downfall. Also love that y'all recognized Charity for being the best movie wife ever because she is!! Despite her upbringing she never wanted anything but the little things, she's a real one. Had so much fun with this one, thanks you guys!

It's not underrated, it's a beloved film by so so so many people!!! People need to stop misusing that word.

[@mariakal605]

​@RedRoseSeptember22 sure, but for what it's worth I also think something can be beloved by many and still underrated! I only said so because in my own experience not many people have seen it and from those that have seen it I've been told they don't remember it as anything remarkable. But if you feel from your experience that it's not underrated that's awesome. I was merely referring to my own experience
