Here's the thing about musical episodes (in all shows in general): Why make an episode if none of your actors can sing? And if they can, why autotune it so much that it sounds like they're drowning in it? I know it's for the crowd's entertainment, but it's not entertaining if it sounds bad. Riverdale is no acception.

[@allthingsnn1955]

The problem is that all the actors have very different voices. For example, Lili (Betty) and Cami (Veronica) have voices that blend well together cuz they both have lighter voices, but are still able to add power. On the other hand, Madelaine (Cheryl) has a much deeper voice that is more suitable for pop songs. The producers keep trying to get them to sing together and then add autotune in an attempt to make their voices blend, when it just doesn't. All that together just makes it sound really cheap and just overall bad.

@Hailey Piercy it’s objectively true though. As someone who’s been singing for over a decade, “people hurt us” in this performance is absolutely bad. In Heathers, like was mentioned in the video, it’s supposed to have the power like you’re having a conversation, and you can just tell that Cole Sprouse did NOT want to sing for that episode, hence why it lacks power and enthusiasm. Perhaps if they had pulled a high school musical and replaced his voice with someone else’s it would’ve been fine, but the producers heard that and chose to keep it in.

[@thefatherrabbit]

@@SprintToggle What confuses me is that not only has Cole expressed that he didn't want to do the singing, in the chorus, they apparently did replace or mix his vocals with Casey Cott's just like they did with Zac Efron in HSM1. I don't get why they wouldn't just have someone else singing for him to begin with. I don't think he's tone deaf, but it really ruined the song because Lili sounded so good and you can tell from his voice that he did not want to do it.

[@thefatherrabbit]

@Hailey Piercy "I'd like to see you try" is a bit of a silly thing to say. I'm sure there are many people in the comments who are more than capable of singing the song better. I sing but I don't know much about stage/musical singing so I'm not going to act like I could since that's a whole different area of vocal expertise, but the truth is that it wasn't very good.
