#sopranonotes #firstburn #hamilton - Hudba
This song was cut from the show and replaced by Burn. You really would be crazy about a lot of the music. These ladies were all Elizas from touring companies and replacements from Broadway. There were no live performances of this in the show because the choice was made to make Eliza more reserved, which evidently was a bit more historically accurate
In Greek mythology, Icarus (/ˈɪkərəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἴκαρος, romanized: Íkaros, pronounced [ǐːkaros]) was the son of the master craftsman Daedalus, the creator of the Labyrinth. Icarus and Daedalus attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that Daedalus constructed from feathers and wax. Icarus got cocky and flew too close to the sun. His wings melted and he fell.
Great analysis! Hamilton is a great show...it manages to bridge the gap between theatre diehards and a younger audience. And teaches some about American History that might not have shown interest in the past. I would LOVE for you to analyze "Satisfied" from Hamilton. Try to get the actual performance filmed for Disney+ and performed by Renée Elise Goldsberry as Angelica Schuyler(she won the Tony Award for Best Actress for it). It's BRILLIANT!!
Here's the best link I can find for it. It's a retelling of a scene from another perspective and the video split screens the two/three songs involved. Enjoy!! czcams.com/video/wD2LdRGyhwY/video.html
Hi Jess! This is such a great song to react to with so many moving parts, although, I wish they had done it live, too. Lol. I'm always in awe of how much you can Hear in the music!
This is the first version of the song "Burn" that Eliza sings when she finds out Hamilton has cheated on her (this version is not in the musical). All the ladies singing have played the role on various stages. Hamilton isn't my favourite musical by far, but it's fast moving and entertaining. I definitely recommend watching it at least once, if only for pop culture references. 😂
(The line about Icarus is comparing Hamilton to him. It refers to Daedalus and his son Icarus in Greek mythology. Daedalus built giant wings out of wax and feathers so he and Icarus could escape from Crete and he warned his son not to fly too close to the sun or the wax would melt and he would die. Icarus flew too high anyway and fell out of the sky into the ocean and drowned).
I absolutely love when you analyse Broadway! Maybe we could get a Broadway series if enough of us ask for it? Lol
Thank you for the clarification, Rivkah! I had no idea this is portrayed by one character - I thought they were each their own. But very cool idea!
What a sad story about Icarus! So much symbolism too!
And yes, I'm getting more and more into Broadway. There is soo much material I have yet to see and I am always willing to learn more about the genre. 💛
The best number by a female singer in Hamilton is Satisfied but it is best viewed with the song before it called Helpless. The scene is Hamilton meeting Eliza and Angelica Schuyler. Helpless is from the point of view of Eliza who tells Angelica she's in love and runs through Eliza and Hamilton's marriage. Then time literally rewinds, the stage revolves backward, dancers do reverse choreography and the scene is told from the point of view of Angelica with the song Satisfied. It is some of the most brilliant staging and singing I've seen. I think you will be blown away by Rene Elise Goldsberry's performance and Philippa Sou is wonderful as well.
As an incredible performance critic, I thought you would find this fascinating. Someone put the two above songs side by side.czcams.com/video/wD2LdRGyhwY/video.html
This song is an earlier version of Burn from Hamilton. The actresses seen in the video are all people who played Eliza (who sings the song Burn) in different productions of Hamilton. 😁
I wish you would just do all of Hamilton the Broadway play, this does not give you what you need. The original cast movie by Disney will give you what you want. Lots of folks have reacted to it (in chopped up pieces) and it is great to watch those reactions. Please add this musical to your reactions. I love your analysis.
I would love to see your reactions to anything from Hamilton. The whole show is in Disney+ and it was recorded live.
And you can sign up for a month and cancel before the month is up.
This is the first time I’ve seen you, so maybe you’ve explained this earlier. I would just like to know why you have not seen this show yet. You are literally in the industry, and this show has had such an impact in musical theater, I am surprised that you haven’t taken the time to watch it. Because it is such a great story, I think you would be doing yourself a disservice by watching a random selection from the show without having context. I would love to see your reaction to the show in its entirety, even if posted as individual videos.
I love you waving as a reaction to those last runs cause it was getting so good before the drop ❤
The music in Hamilton is amazing. It’s so so so deep. The contributions from all the different people involved add up to brilliance. This is like Shakespeare. It will be studied for generations. The conclusion of the first Act, “Non-Stop” is like opera.
Please, please, please watch it.
You don’t have to react, but YOU deserve to hear it and see the film.
As Angelica says “I’m about to change your life”.
I really liked the video. Keep up the good work. I'm always checking on CZcams for more Hamilton reactions. So I'm sure I would watch them if you did. I'm sure everyone has probably already spoiled tons of it already. Keep up the good work
So many comments and yet no one gave you the actual context! Hamilton's entire characterization is built around creating a legacy for himself. He's ambitious with a high IQ and alternates between scheming and impulsiveness. He first meets Angelica Schuyler and while she and Hamilton are an intellectual match, he's poor and from an unknown family - she has to marry up and he's not it. She matchmakes and sets him up with her sister Eliza. After the Revolutionary War, he is Secretary of the Treasury and rivals with Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State. Angelica has married and exchanges subtle flirtations with Hamilton from afar - it's something of an open secret they have feelings for each other. Eliza and their children are living with Eliza's father in upstate NY. Hamilton is seduced by a third woman, Maria Reynolds, whose husband is aware of the affair and blackmails Hamilton. Jefferson finds the blackmail payments in Hamilton's financial records and accuses him of embezzlement, which as Secretary of the Treasury, would ruin him. He decides to go public about the affair before Jefferson can out him.
Burn, the song that inspired this, is Eliza's reaction to finding out about the affair and the humiliation of it going public. The Icarus reference is about a Greek myth of a young man who builds himself wings and arrogantly flies too high, with the sun causing his wings to melt and plummet him to his death. This song intersperses lines and musical themes from Burn along with scrapped lyrics from an angrier version of the song. The anger didn't fit where Lin Manuel wanted the emotional punch to sit at this point in the show. Each of the verses is directly pointed at his character traits that led him to break her heart.
Excellent overview! I would also add that Burn / First Burn is a nod to the real life fact that there were no letters to view between Eliza and Hamilton from this period leading some scholars to posit the theory that Eliza (or someone in her family) didn’t want to tarnish Hamilton’s reputation with all the ugly details / personal letters between this man and his wife re: his affair. Lin-Manuel adds his own theory that ELIZA burned them to have agency/ power over the narrative “I’m burning the letters that might have redeemed you” “I’m erasing myself from the narrative, let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted when you broke her heart” …. “The world has no place in our bed, they don’t get to know what I said”
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great analysis
Another wonderful reaction. I know you’re busy & don’t do that many reactions & you were kind enough to reply & explain which I really appreciated. So, this is just another reminder to react to that wonderful young Soprano Amira Willighagen who you were so impressed with on your first reaction when she was a mere 9 years old.
It’s been quite a few months now, so please follow up on your promise. How about the Flower Duet with Corlea Botha when Amira was 13.
I’m sure you know this beautiful piece & would love your opinion as to how this 13 year old handles this amazing song.
Cheers Graeme
Would love to see you react to Hamilton stuff. Your analysis would be great.
Great analysis! Satisfied and My Shot are from Hamilton with recordings from the staged show that would be great to analyze. Burn is also available... the show version
Awesome!
If you're going to react to another song from Hamilton, go with Wait For It, preferably one of Leslie Odom's live performances. It's from Aaron Burr's perspective, who is Hamilton's foil in the show.
This is also a good option: czcams.com/video/uV4UpCq2azs/video.html
Agreed. Or Satisfied.
Hello there! I adore your analysises! I know how much you love basses! I would love for you to hear and do a reaction on Geoff Castelluci's cover of Sixteen Tons!
The song was rewritten and is called Burn, check that out too if you haven't. This was the original version of the song but was changed because if I remember correctly they thought it was to cold.
Yeah, they thought it was too cold to come out of Eliza's mouth, as she was more reserved in the play and that is actually more accurate to real life Eliza.
Hello Jess I don't know Hamilton but your analysis convinced me to find out soon. I was charmed by these voices, I want to know more. Have a good day
Hope you do. The lead actors playing Aaron Burr, George Washington and Angelica Schuyler are simply amazing singers. Nah, many amazing singers in this.
Turn on the captions. The musical is sung through, it is the story of a man’s whole life, and parts are really fast.
Enjoy.
@@itzel1735 Thank you very much Itzel for your appreciation and your advice, I am already delighted by some extracts that I found. Unfortunately I don't have the DVD or Disney Channel...
@@eveline5858 I am in the US. When I signed up for Disney + it was less than $10. I timed it for the beginning of the month, and cancelled after watching Hamilton a few times, before the end of the month. For me, it was good value.
Because the musical is almost completely sung through, the music alone is very enjoyable. The cast album was my introduction when it first came out. And it was a couple years before I could watch the film.
I think all songs are here on YT. Just check you listen in the proper order.
@@itzel1735 Thank you once again Itzel👍 here I just found the comedy (music) in full so in order it's great. After I will look at the corresponding excerpts that I will find. Greetings from France
@@eveline5858 Salut!
Here's a band Unleash The Archers and the song Awakening. I think you'll like the vocalist and the band's dope too.
Watch the whole musical on Disney+. No joke, it's one of the best things I've ever seen and certainly the best piece of media I watched last year.
I would love to hear your vocal analysis applied to the second version of burn done by Jackie Evancho. I also recognize your ending your videos with singing Rachmaninoff vocalise. Search for Jackie Evancho vocalise she does the same I would also be curious if you have heard of Jackie or reacted to anything that she has done? She started as a second place AGT contestant when she was 10, followed by two PBS specials that you would hopefully be a fantastic reaction. If you search for Jackie Evancho dream with me in concert you will find a list of videos from the concert that she has published on her page. She sings a wide range of songs ranging from Angel by Sarah McLachlan to Nessun Dorma and Nella Fantasia. By the way, her vocalise was recorded at age 14.
Love this and love the stank face haha!
Please please please react to more Hamilton. Definitely “The Schulyer Sisters” “Winters Ball” “Helpless” and “Satisfed”. Would love your breakdown.
Dio - the last in line..( live in spectrum) reaction.. thank you very much.
Reacciona a más temas de lp forever for new, stranger ángel , levitetor, wasted love
When you click on your links it says "Sponsored videos are on hold until further notice" any idea when you'll be doing them again, or have you just decided to stop those?
❤️❤️❤️ Would LOVE to see u react to the actual musical. First Burn is actually Hamilton “adjacent” as it’s not in the musical, these are all stage actresses who played Eliza Hamilton in the touring versions instead of the OG cast. As others have said, Burn (instead of First Burn) is the version that ended up in the musical ❤️❤️❤️
I wasn't aware that there were two versions of burn, but I would love to have you react to apparently the second burn covered by Jackie Evancho. It's a music video that modernizes the interpretation. Search for Jackie Evancho burn and look for the video from her page. She put out an album two years ago called Debut with many current Musical covers such as she used to be mine from waitress, I'm not that girl from wicked, somewhere, requiem, a Million Dreams, Once Upon a December- even if you don't react, pick one and Give a listen, would love to hear your thoughts.
Add a note: your outro of your videos as you doing rachmaninoff's vocalise which Jackie Evancho covered when she was 14. It's a track off of one of her albums titled Awakening, I hope you would give it a listen and that you like it!
Icarus is from a Greek myth. The myth of Daedalus and his won Icarus
Really nice reaction. You need to watch Hamilton.
Daedalus and Icarus flew using wings made of wax and feathers. Ignoring his father's warnings, Icarus flew too close to the sun and met a tragic end. In 1903 the Wright brothers invented the first successful airplane. Nothing would ever be the same as humanity had just learned to fly.
Can you please react to MAMAMOO's Killing Voice? They are amazing and I think you'd really enjoy it.
Recommend hamilton burn by lea salonga at sydney concert
Hi Jess! It's been a minute since we enjoyed your thorough yet emotional reaction to Morissette's "Akin Ka Na Lang". Got reminded of that reaction when she released portions of her recent digital concert on YT. I have a feeling you're going to enjoy her live performance of a medley of her original Tagalog songs including AKNL. It would be nice to see what you think about her technique/placement/performance a year on. Here's the link in case you find time for it and are interested: czcams.com/video/z7QyqSZWpgk/video.html Thank you!

Please react to Angelina Jordan 13yrs old prodigy singing Bohemian Rhopsidy at AGT 2020. Check her out guarantee you’re not gonna be disappointed thanks.
Don't overanalyze the story and context of the song, because the song is cut out of the musical, this studio version would be the only official version we're gonna get because its actually not canon to the story and this video is sort of just given out as a gift to the fans due to the success of the musical, other cut songs that never made it into the musical are also released, but again, they are not canon to the story not unless you're a die-hard Hamilton fan who loves doing a deep dive into the story. Icarus is based off a greek mythology, the boy who flew too close to the sun, it is meant to be an analogy, not someone part of the story 😆
You are wrong about the times when you claim to know how the feeling of the singer exhibits itself. You are too technical to matter.
Icarus isn't a character in Hamilton, but a figure from Greek mythology. He created wax wings to fly, but flew too close to the sun; the wax melted and he fell to his death. It's a metaphor.
