- Hamilton is a phenomenal Broadway Musical, and Lin-Manuel Miranda outdid himself with the score and Alexander Hamilton! In my "Stay Alive", "Ten Duel Commandments", and "Meet Me Inside" (From "Hamilton")" reaction I listen to MORE of possibly my new FAVORITE broadway musical!
I'm a radio DJ reacting to "Stay Alive", "Ten Duel Commandments", and "Meet Me Inside" (From "Hamilton")" since it was not on the radio in the US! Listen to "Stay Alive", "Ten Duel Commandments", and "Meet Me Inside" (From "Hamilton")" on CZcams here:

Hamilton: An American Musical is a sung-and-rapped-through musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda. It tells the story of American Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. Miranda said he was inspired to write the musical after reading the 2004 biography Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow.
The show draws heavily from hip hop, as well as R&B, pop, soul, and traditional-style show tunes. It casts non-white actors as the Founding Fathers and other historical figures. Miranda described Hamilton as about "America then, as told by America now."
It's my first time listening to Hamilton and my first time listening to "Stay Alive", "Ten Duel Commandments", and "Meet Me Inside" (From "Hamilton")"

What do you think? Is the Hamilton Cosplay Challenge is stupid idea, haha? and WHY do I feel like we're only 2 songs away from this whole musical imploding into chaos? Thanks for checking out the channel and the video, have a great day, take care, and remember to subscribe for the rest of this ride!!
Please watch Sabaton no bullets fly, history edition
@@occyostrich6895 nice
@@occyostrich6895 or ghost division
You need to cosplay as The Bullet!!!
Next do that would be enough, guns and ships, history has its eyes on you, and yorktown. You can do all 4 because the first 3 or pretty short.
Just a note, this was Lee against John Laurens not Marquis de Lafayette.
yeah he got the names mixed up I realized in a previous reaction he called Laurens Lafayette
You're right... Can't really blame him, though, because when I was watching Hamilton for the first time, I seriously thought Daveed Diggs in second act was still Lafayette (even though the act literally starts with a ballad to Jefferson where his name is repeated like couple of dozens times) and was sure about it for the good half of the second act (probably till the moment where Jefferson says 'Did you forget Lafayette'). So, you know, confusing Laurens and Lafayette is not such a big deal! :D
@@elly_hermione I mean, Lafayette is french with an obvious french accent 🤷🏻♀️
Charles Lee wasn't as blatantly incompetent as he's portrayed here, but he was close. He was a skilled commander when it came to Brigade sized units of around 2000 men, but when put in charge of an Army of 100,000 men he blew it big time. His arrogance and self aggrandizement pissed people off, and when he failed, he blamed Washington.
On the positive side, after the war he campaigned to have the Native Americans living inside the new United States welcomed as fellow citizens and wanted to end slavery. He got neither, of course.
Interesting. Thanks for that info!
And it's also... possible - but not proven - that he leaked some information to the British while he was a prisoner. So, the guess in the video that he was trying to purposely ruin the revolution is legit, though we'll never know for sure. For example, the series "Turn" (which is about the Revolutionary War as well) assumes that, while being a prisoner, Lee was promised by the British to be paid for kind of failing the battle. However, there are no evidence that can prove it actually happened, these are only historians' theories.
When you get to the end of Dear Theodosia, DO NOT stop it until Hamilton says "I have so much work to do" there's an unlisted song
2:00 without any context, watch out for that woman, you will continue to see her through the musical :]
7:53 also, like you mentioned, there's definitely some Vibes. between these two.
8:54 burr was actually not the second for this duel irl, but it helps sell the story of his and hamiltons rivalry. it would also be odd to introduce Another character just for the one song. also this song is a reference to Ten Crack Commandments!
That's one of my favourite details
Burr actually had a reputation for being a great Second and helped defuse many, many situations before shots were fired.
the duel of lee and laures acts as a contrast and foreshadowing perhaps to hamilton and burr's upcoming duel
@@The_BlOb yes this as well!
“that woman” now being Academy Award winner Arianna DeBose. 🏆
Laurens was nowhere near as in trouble as Hamilton for the duel for a couple reasons:
1) Washington specifically ordered Hamilton to take no action against Lee, because Hamilton is his second in command and his actions reflect directly on Washington and make it all look like HIS idea. Laurence was not as close to him, so his actions don't look like commands from Washington.
2) Also, he never got to personally tell Laurentz to NOT intervene as he did for Hamilton.
3) Laurens is SUPER rich. His father was an extremely influential politician with ties both in the Americas and on the Brithish court. There was no way Washington would risk giving Laurens a discharge. Meanwhile, Hamilton had absolutely no family or really engaged supporters out of Washington himself, which he had just made look like either a fool, a man who couldn't control his men or someone who would send other to do his dirty bidding against his own allies. None of which would look good. Punishing Hamilton would probably be the only option for ole' George to save face at that point.
4) The next song suggests that Washington might have sent Hamilton home so he could see... a certain thing and maaaaybe understand why the general was unwilling to allow him to risk his life on the front at that time.
If I'm not mistaken, I think historically the duel with Lee occurred in 1778. Anyway, the little thing didn't happen until 1781.
That was *John Laurens* in the duel , NOT Lafayette... exactly how close their relationship got, is never overtly addressed in the play, but there are some subtle hints and indications.
Also-- let's just say General Washington had his reasons for sending Alex home, and they may not be quite what you think (you'll see, in the next song). The actor's name is Chris Jackson by the way.
"That would be enough" needs to be a stand alone video. "Guns and Ships", "History has its eyes on you" and "Yorktown" go together in the storyline and musical continuity! :)
this!!!
I would have tried to keep that would be enough with this one but that's ok.
100% you need guns and ships through the end of act 1 to keep going!
or since it's the Act 1 finale you could do all 4
ooh I misspoke but these are the cruxendo of act 1, leaving the final 3 afterwards as the resolution,
Quick note on Lee- he wasn’t a British plant but he was ‘disappointed’ that he wasn’t Congress’s choice instead of Washington
Ahhhh I gotcha, so it’s more a personal rivalry with Washington than anything suuuper malicious
@@YoBGS yup, just plain ole pride/arrogance. Especially since Washington had… oops, no spoilers. 🤐😄
Oh, forgot to mention- Biggie…
And while Lin may not be considered an outstanding actor, much like Angelica’s face after introducing Hamilton to Eliza, the ability to display the emotional volatility at the end was impressive.
@@aj71169 Oh, he's a fantastic actor, he just isn't the strongest singer. However, it fits for Hamilton, because a polished, trained voice just wouldn't work as well for a character who has to claw his way into the higher ranks of society after being a poor orphan.
@@ms_scribbles not what I consider fantastic, but to each their own
In fact, John André (the head of British intelligence) used Lee from time to time. He wasn't a spy but definitely something of a snitch.
Some people say that the reason he hates bring called son is because he doesn't want to lose Washington like he lost his father
also cuse his father was a prick who left, so he doesn’t want to associate Washington with him in general
It can also be used to talk down to someone (how it was used here) which is likely why he got pissed off(he took it as Washington talking down to him which he could stand)
Yes, I think this was meant to further develop the father/son-like relationship between Washington and Hamilton.
Keep in mind that Hamilton is in his early 20s here.
So this is like a typical fight between a young/new adult and the parental figures in your life as you push your boundaries until you are able to establish yourself as an adult in their eyes.
All Hamilton wants is to prove himself (and gain the fortune and fame that he longs for). And Washington _is_ holding him back because Hamilton is too valuable to him - both as his aide-de-camp and as a "son" he never had.
But all Hamilton hears is "no" and "son" and feels like Washington is being patronizing. And it boils over.
And if I remember from the biography, Hamilton had the added stress of running out of money to support Eliza because Congress hadn't sent enough money to feed and clothe the troops, let alone _pay_ them.
So Hamilton uses this time to go home and earn some money before he comes back.
Other members of the Army were leaving and coming back as well (e.g. farmers going home to help with planting or the harvest, etc.)
"i want to be a stupid sexy doctor on broadway" -yobgs 2022
It's worth noting that Washington called Alex "son" in Right Hand Man, but Alex didn't complain because Washingtonwas complimenting and recruitinghim at that moment. He only balks at it when Washington is chewing him out. I feel this highlights Alex's impetuous nature, never looking beyond what's in front of him.
Burr wasn't actually Charles Lee's second, that's something that Lin wrote in to make it a bit better
And also Charles Lee didn't die in this duel like this make it seem. Lauren's shot basically grazed him and Lee was up to go again (as they do if they are not satisfied, hence Lauren's "I'm satisfied") but I believe it was his second that stopped him from doing so.
@@st4rpt_603 The musical makes it seem like Lee dies? I never got that impression at all. How in the hell do people end up with that idea?
@@st4rpt_603 Washington was speaking directly to Charles Lee after this duel, of course Lee didn't die.
@@colt1903 Just because he never really shows up again in the musical. Because fictional narratives tend not to have characters who just disappear without dying or some other clear explanation (same reason why Burr was made the second here, recurring characters give a lot of chances for foreshadowing and parallels to draw that reality doesn’t), forgetting that this is based on reality, and in real history minor players drop in and out of the narrative without greater rhyme or reason than just “he wasn’t politically relevant ever again after Washington proved him wrong by winning the war.” So people too used to narrative tropes assume he must have died, because if he didn’t, his arc is incomplete and he’s a human Chekov’s gun that’s never fired.
@@limonlx7182 Elizabeth was also talking to Philip and he died 😂 Ofc I wasn't talking about instant death
Sing a song of sixpence
A pocket full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie
When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing
Wasn't that a dainty dish
To set before the king
Thank you!!! That’s it!
Second verse:
The King was in his counting house
Counting out his money
The Queen was in the parlour
Eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden
Hanging out the clothes
When down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose
"Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye. Nine and twenty blackbirds were baked into a pie. When the pie was opened the birds began to sing. Wasn't that a dainty dish to put before the king?" The exact meaning of the nursery rhyme is still debated
Edit: that's John Laurens, not Lafayette.
I've always heard it as "four and twenty"?
@@rachelong3755 Same.
Nursery rhymes are intended to be sung to children who literally don’t understand it as a way to familiarize them with the rhythms of the language, so whatever meaning the nurse who came up with it meant by it is probably either intensely personal or a random flight of fancy. Though given the second verse is “The king was in his counting house, counting out his money. The queen was in the parlor, eating bread and honey. The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes when down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose.” I’m guessing the nurse didn’t have a particularly high opinion of her Lords.
I mean, it is a British song and Hamilton is talking about American merchants refusing to sell to the revolutionaries and only accepting English money, so the joke is probably that Washington would have to "sing a British song" (pretend to be British) to buy even the most basic supplies, so he can't pull the huge attacks the Congress is requiring from him.
It actually refers to real dishes in medieval times when people would put live birds in a pie for big banquets when they wanted to show off to royalty, and when the pie was cut into, the birds would come flying out.
I wonder how confused you'll be in Act 2 if you're still getting confused with the difference between Laurens and Lafayette in Act 1?
"My names Thomas Jefferson, I just turned nine..."
@@XanderHarris1023 lmao
@@XanderHarris1023 this made me laugh so bad lmao
@@XanderHarris1023Secretary Philip, you have the floor sir.
You should watch them in the order of
1. Guns and Ships
2. History Has it's Eyes On You
3. The Battle of Yorktown
bro you forgot "That would be enough" 😭
yeah but Jacobs right those 3 need to be in 1 video... so maybe do all 4 next?
He should cosplay as Lafayette and try to rap guns and ships 👍
yes i need to see this
It is Laurens not laffeyete
Laffeyete is French
Hey YoBGS, in Ten Duel Commandments you kept calling John Laurens "Lafayette." Other than that, a great video and I can't wait for Hamilton Day next week.
It's shockingly hard to keep track of how much time passes throughout Act One. "Aaron Burr, Sir" in 1776, "Winter's Ball" four years later, 1780.
there's only one song before the next big three number: Guns & Ships - picking up the pace and preparing for the grand finale of the revolution, featuring the fastest broadway rap of all time, History has its eyes on you - washington giving alex some serious life lessons, again showing of his hell of a voice and finally, yorktown - the epic finale of the revolutionary war with the best dance choreos of the show...
2nd best for me.
Idk, there's just something that feels so powerful about Burr snapping in TRWIH and doing all these wild movements that appeals to me more.
Excellent reaction as always, but you keep calling my boy John Laurens Lafayette and it's driving me bonkers XD
“Sing a Song of Sixpence” is an old English nursery rhyme, thought to originate in the 18th century-so roughly contemporary with the American Revolutionary war, plus or minus a century. The version I remember went:
Sing a song of sixpence
A pocketful of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie
When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing
Wasn’t that a dainty dish
To set before the king?
The king was in his counting house
Counting out his money
The queen was in the parlour
Eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden
Hanging out the clothes
When down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose.
Here is my suggestion for next videos
1. That Would Be Enough should be a solo video
2. Guns and Ships and History has it's eyes on You
3. Yorktown and What Comes Next
4. Dear Theodosia, Lauren's Lament and Non Stop
That ends out Act 1
Another vote for you Cosplaying Lafayette and performing “Guns and Ships.” 🙂
Since you are a radio DJ, I think you noticed it, but "The Ten Duel Commandments" is directly inspired by Notorious BIG's "Ten Crack Commandments"
Can’t wait for “Stay alive” to be reprised! I wanna see your reaction to that!
"Sing a song of sixpense" is from a children's nursey rhyme.
It was Laurens dueling Lee, not Layfeyette. Burr also wasn't Lee's second, a man named Evan Edwards was.
With Lee, if you're being genreous, he was incompetent, if not, he was commitiing treason. Historians argue on that.
"Sing a song of six pence, pocketful of rye, four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie. When the pie was opened the birds began to sing. Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before a king!"
It's an old nursery rhyme, been around for centuries.
Yeah. Pretty much every song here after Wait For It is rapid succession, one after the other.
This is the point you get to in the musical where you can't really stop once you start if you do single video reactions because depending on the time between recording the videos it gets pretty hard to remember everything.
Basically, we're now in the Rising Action of ACT 1.
Hamilton and Laurens were REALLY close. There are theories that they were a Thing and that Hamilton was Bisexuell.
Well, since many Letters were burned, we can only assume 🤷♀️😅
towards the end of Act one theres a small reprise of The story of tonight that was cut from the album, and depending on what song list you're looking at it may not show up. But I very much recommend you watch it. You can find it named as the laurens interlude (tomorrow there'll be more of us)
Make sure to pay attention to what's going on in the background too. During Stay Alive you can see Elisha sending off a letter that ends up getting delivered to Washington. There was more then one reason he decided to send Alexander home.
for the next couple reactions, you can do :
1. That Would Be Enough (solo video)
2. Guns and Ships, History Has Its Eyes On You, Yorktown, and What Comes Next
3. Dear Theodosia, Lauren's Interlude, and Non-Stop
and boom Act 1 finished
Idk if anybody has mentioned it in a comment, but notice the girl carrying the bullet at the beginning of "Stay Alive". She is a secret character literally called The Bullet. An omen foreshadowing/symbolising death in many different ways throughout the show.
12:48 Yea “We won” also is a reference to a future song - Yorktown where they repeatably scream “We Won! We Won!”
What, Burr says about the words foreshadows the future duel.
"Call me son one more time" was indpired by an (excellent) episode from The West Wing (Season 2 Christmas episode 'Noel").
Came back to this video from watching the whole playlist, I remembered he talked about a character called the bullet.
And coming back I realize in Stay Alive the bullet goes just above his head at 3:10
10 duel commandments pays homage to 10 crack commandments by notorious B.I.G.
I know you have them on, but you need closed captioning for Guns & Ships (a random later note, for a pause point in Non Stop, when Washington enters, turn them off because there are overlapping lyrics). Also, its Laurens not Lafayette that is involved in this.
This is a musical building of tension between each of these songs. Stay Alive is an eerie slow piano ballad, 10 Duel Commandments is a musical staircase of a song, and Meet Me Inside is just an explosion vocally and musically.
Thayne Jasperson, part time loyalist farmer, part time stupid sexy doctor. Your comments are brilliant.😂
I'm sure it's been pointed out by now, but 'The Bullet' shows up, just after the chorus sings the first 'Stay Alive'. The British soldier fires his gun, and she 'grabs' the bullet and traces it over Hamilton's shoulder.
Am I the only one who can't wait until he gets to the Reynolds pamphlet like that'll just be a treat to see
How do you not just want to watch the whole thing in one sitting?? XD I can't wait to see your reaction to the whole play, it's fun to see it for the first time again through you!
Alexander Hamilton Sr. left when Alex was 10, and his mom died two years later, and even after his dad left, they wrote to each other, so he knew his parents. I think had he not known his father at all, he'd probably have the opposite reaction, yearning for a father. His dad left him and his mom on the island of Nevis with no ways to support themselves.
We r coming up to some amazing songs that ik u will love! This musical is actually amazing, and it's amazing to be watching it with my favourite reaction channel :)
The Bullet, the character who carries the bullet between guns and bodies, is Ariana DeBose, who just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for West Side Story. You might want to check that out, too,
Charles Lee had participated in several duels when he was a military leader in Europe. And while attacking Washington, both Laurens and Baron von Steuben offered him duels, but he only accepted Laurens. He was later court martialed for his actions in battle.
We're nearing the end of the action section of Hamilton, probably cresting at Guns and Ships. From there it's a tragedy laserbeam.
I think you should go for the next 3 instead of the next two, cause History Has It's Eyes on You would make it that you can do the last songs of the first half in pairs
@ YoBGS You know, Yo, you were actually right in thinking the 10 Duel Commandments would be about Burr and Hamilton, since the counting motif and background music come back in The World Was Wide Enough.
Noone else seems to have mentioned it, so I'll point out the reason Stay Alive sounds familiar is because it borrows the chords from the James Bond theme (which was already done in Right Hand Man, but in a different way).
Before 1804, Burr was very level-headed and thought duels were foolish, even preventing a duel between Hamilton and future-president James Monroe, who was one of the three people that in reality confronted him about his payments to James Reynolds.
I'm voting for you to cosplay Mariah Reynolds... he'll meet her in a few more reactions.
I real life, Burr was not Lee’s second as Burr wasn’t even there to be second because he collapsed from a heatstroke during the Battle of Monmouth, ironically the one where Lee so called “shits the bed”.
Not sure if anyone has addressed this, but Charles Lee was one of the few people with enough military experience to be considered by the Continental Congress for Commander of the Continental Army.
In fact, many believe Lee was the better candidate - with more (successful) military experience than Washington.
However, Washington was chosen - most likely because he was born in Virginia, where Lee was born in England.
And it's probably a good thing...because Lee showed his true colors as the war went on...
It feels like sometimes the people in charge can see the intangibles and that was def the case here. ESPECIALLY how they're depicted in the musical lol
Oh been waiting for this one.
It surprised me how you didn't mention The Bullet that passed right by Hamilton's head!! It's also quite delicious to know NOW that The Bullet is now an OSCAR WINNER - it still astounds me to know that that's actually Ariana DeBose playing The Bullet!!!
Let's gooo meant to be asleep but will watch this instead love these videos I love your videos and this series hope you see this
now that you've seen the final version, i can also recommend listening to valley forge, the demo for stay alive, sometime (whether for a reaction or not) :) you mentioned right hand man going into what the war was like and valley forge does that even more
Crazy to think that one of those background dancers is an Oscar winning actress
I know you had asked for a list of the best way to break down the rest of the songs so here's my opinion if you still needed help...
> "That Would Be Enough"/"Guns and Ships"/"History Has Its Eyes On You"
> "Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)"/"What Comes Next?"
> "Dear Theodosia"/"Non-Stop"
> "What'd I Miss"/"Cabinet Battle #1"
> "Take a Break"/"Say No to This"
> "The Room Where It Happens"/"Schuyler Defeated"
> "Cabinet Battle #2"/"Washington On Your Side"
> "One Last Time"/"I Know Him"
> "The Adams Administration"/"We Know"/"Hurricane"
> "The Reynolds Pamphlet"/"Burn"
> "Blow Us All Away"/"Stay Alive (Reprise)"/"It's Quiet Uptown"
> "The Election of 1800"/"Your Obedient Servant"
> "Best of Wives and Best of Women"/"The World Was Wide Enough"/"Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story"
Aaaaand screenshotted. Please accept all of my gratitude bc without comments like yours id be doomed lol
@YoBGS You're welcome. As an amendment you could do "Room Where It Happened"/"Schuyler Defeated"/"Cabinet Battle #2"/"Washington on Your Side" all as one video since the two middle songs in this set are both pretty short but "Room Where it Happens" is one of the longest songs in the show so take that as you will. It would also work just doing "Room" by itself then do the following 3 the next time... Options :)
Next reaction video is going to be lit. Cant wait
I can't wait for YoBGS reaction from "That Would Be Enough!"
YOOOO POG ANOTHER VIDEO
I'm going to see Hamilton in nine days, and I'm very excited.
Honestly, the moment when Lin says “Call me son one more time” may be the greatest moment of acting he has ever done.
also I just discovered your hamilton reactions and five minutes later you upload a new one haha
6:23 You are exactly correct but Alexander is incapable of understanding that due to his having nothing to lose.
12:55 just wait until the end of non-stop lol
Remembering Alexander is between 19-21 at this point. The contrast between Alexander and Philip at the same age is amazing. For all that Philip looked like his father and was told he had his mind, Alexander at the same age was a completely different beast. They shared the quick to temper trait but even a bit afterwards Philip was already second guessing his actions. Alexander rarely second guesses himself even when told to calm down.
In real Life, Burr was actually not Lee’s second in this duel, the musical added that for more tension between the two :)
Howard Ho says Stay Alive has a very strong resemblance to the James Bond theme song - that's probably what it's reminding you of. He has a series of amazing musical analysis videos of the Hamilton songs, once you've finished the musical you might enjoy them.
Hey in that would be enough the next song after meet me inside she wrote a letter to Washington to send Ham home and in stay alive when ham is sitting down for the 1st time you can see her writing the letter.
This was sooooo good
Chris Jackson (George Washington) is brilliant in that final moment, so much so, that in Hamilton: The Revolution, Lin writes about the emotional drain that that interaction caused them.
Yo! Super early, sick! I would find it absolutely hilarious for you to cosplay King George
When youre done with the musical you should check out the videos analyzing the musical from the channel Howard Ho.
I found Washington calling Hamilton “son” interesting purely because Washington never had a blood related child, Notorious for adopting. So it’s likely that, depending on how close they were, he saw Alexander as a son.
I love how YoBGS actually noticed how Hamilton got more heated after ever time George Washington called him "son".
Looking at it from the perspective of Hamilton only two people have called him that and it is a sore subject. His mother who he loved dearly but tragically died when he was small. And his father who left them alone without even making sure they would be okay.
No wonder it can be a trigger word for him if used in an argument where he is trying to push something.
Others have said it, but I would group Guns and Ships, History Has Its Eyes, and Yorktown together.
FYI- Chris Jackson is the guy who plays Washington, & does so incredibly! He & Lin-Manuel Miranda are longtime best friends, since college, & whenever LMM does anything theater-related, Jackson is always right there with him. Go watch clips of the original cast of "In The Heights" & you'll see them as best friends (which honestly they didn't have to act very much). But Jackson's portrayal of Washington here is simply jaw-dropping! He takes the roll of Hamilton's mentor & father figure and knocks it out of the park. Re-watch this scene while remembering that they are 2 buddies who are usually laughing & joking when they're together, & it makes this scene even more impressive of a performance.
As for how's he going to keep pushing the intensity until the end?
Well, to avoid spoilers, let's just say he... changes the gear on which intense feelings to elicit...
I'm not ready. That's about the only constant in this series, I'm not ready for what's next
I need more than three songs at a time please 🙏😅
12:45 oh just wait for the end of Act 1, I feel you'll be pausing every 5 seconds or so
Ten duel commandments is a play on Notorious B.I.G - Ten Crack Commandments
14:30 actually, the reason hamilton hated washington calling him son was because his dad left and his mother died. he was afraid that if he got close to washington, he'd lose him too.
Once you've checked out the the whole musical you should react to the cut songs from the off broadway album - there are some really good ones that had to be cut for time.
There is a nursery rhyme "Sing a song of Six Pense"
15:18 it was at this moment Alexander knew, he fucked up.
I hope you react to some of the songs that didn't make it after you react to all the songs. Songs such as Ten things one word and first burn didn't make it into the musical or the song releases but are really good
I think it’s important to remember that Lee was well known. Washington needed to get support and the only way was to “spark outrage, outright” having Charles Lee fight with sub par supplies (what they had) meant Lee would tell people how bad it was. Alexander doesn’t understand that by using Lee it is using his reach, name, and reputation to say how awful it was. They could get the outrage of the citizens. It was a risky move and the following duel put that all at risk. Lee had to fail AND live to complain about conditions to have the change needed.
“Son” upsetting Alexander is both a reference to his not having a father and foreshadowing of what Washington knows and Alexander doesn’t that is literally revealed in the next moments.
As a DJ, I am surprised you didn't catch the connection of "The Ten Duel Commandments" being a reference/connection to "Ten Crack Commandments" by The Notorious B.I.G.
so you’re not above being a Schuyler Sister?
The opening beat in stry alive is similar to the James bond theme
Honestly the next video you should go through Yorktown, for the best reaction....so that would be the next 4 songs I believe.
1:58 Not the first time we've seen that character, but definitely one of the more prominent moments. That girl is playing The Bullet. You should pay attention to what she does and how she interacts with the other cast members.
Good advice for a second or third watch, but not the first time through. I've seen multiple reactions get derailed by "watch the Bullet" chatter. It's best to focus on it during repeat viewings.
Okay so normally the duel between Laurens and Lee Burr was not there when it happened but in terms of story telling of this show it makes sense for Hamilton and Burr to be the seconds because eventually they’ll be on the dueling ground at the end because the reason the show gives it away at the beginning is for us to watch these two characters and figure out where is the turning point for these two characters ending up on the dueling ground. Dueling meant you were a man of honor and normally you don’t shoot to kill him and it wasn’t even the bullet that killed you it was the infection that got to you. And Hamilton had many almost duels but all of them except for Burr he was able to negotiate out of those. And as you can see with how Hamilton is his attitude is what the war needs like guys we need more stuff but as you’ll eventually see when we get to Act 2 how this behavior and attitude turns against him for the worse. And the interesting part about George Washington he had pretty much the same temper as Hamilton but he manages to keep everything calm and this silence before Washington orders Hamilton to go home is very impactful because up until now they have been singing nonstop since they started there’s no define stopping point they just keep singing.
But yes the next couple of songs are “That would be enough”, “Guns and Ships”, “History has it’s eyes on you” and “Yorktown”

Actually, after Guns and Ships is History has it's eyes on you
