    "Getcha head in the game!" I love this song, it's been stuck in my head for 18 years, and shows no signs of leaving. I liked that they had Zac Efron actually sing for the sequels.

    After I first saw The Greatest Showman in theaters I spent the next like six months completely obsessed with the musical. I listened to the soundtrack every day. I thought about all of the beautiful sets and costumes every day. I watched behind the scenes of the movie. I watched all of the actors and singers on the James Cordan show. I was just completely swept up in the movie. When I first saw the movie it was with my older sister. She told me that I was going to absolutely love the movie and that I would cry. When the first “Woooooaaaaooh!” Happened and it was blaring through the theater I instantly smiled. And as the scene and overall movie continued I knew my sister would be right. It did become my favorite movie for a while and still is one of my favorite movies. And I did cry. A whole lot. Like one of the biggest and at that point probably the biggest movie break down I had ever had. During the ending I was just sobbing into my sister’s arm. She actually brought Kleenex because she knew I would cry so she was just handing me Kleenex’s while I was sobbing in the theater 😂

    Elephant Love Medley and La Vie Boheme being next to each other is cracking me up. The first time I ever watched Moulin Rouge (I didn’t even watch the full movie but I watched most of it) with my sister I got so sad and cried at the ending. So to cheer me up she played La Vie Boheme! So it’s kinda funny having those two songs next to each other because I’ve always linked those two together in my head 😂

It is still one of my absolute favorite Disney movies and probably just movies in general. That’s How You Know is the scene I always look forward to the most. And even though I’ve seen this movie about 100 times it still makes me as happy and excited as well as makes me dance and sing along to it as it did the first time I saw it.

Personally, I prefer Whitney Hustons version of the fairy godmother over Edie Adam's version, but liked Julie Andrews as Cinderella more than Brandy. Impossible is a great song, it's just that much like America from west side story is a reimagining of the original song, Impossible is one from the 1950s movie.
