It's the best-produced musical group effort I've seen during this pandemic era, both musically and visually.

Does anyone know why certain fams' names were recognized at the end of the performers' list?

Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me.

I think it's really, really good. I do want to note that I find it INCREDIBLY insensitive of Matt Fink to be wearing NYPD gear in the video. I love Matt Fink, but how fucking tone deaf that is. I'm disgusted.

Oh god, maybe that discussion needs to be broken off into the politics sub so it doesn't go 40 pages here. No part of my imagination can see Prince letting him wear that if he were around but I'd guess he's wearing it to provoke the conversation that rubs you the wrong way but the other reason could be that he wore a jail suit as his original costume, and everyone's wearing surgical masks now.

Musically that's a really good version.

It’s possible it was filmed before recent events, don’t you think

It wouldn't be appropriate at any time in the last decade, or since it was written.

Don't sweat it.
I didn't even notice what Matt Fink was wearing not that I could see it on this tiny screen anyway, but are you saying you are hoping his choice of head apparel says they AREN'T part of any wardrobe?

Should I have followed your lead and started a new topic?
SMH 40 pages. duh
I pretty much only noticed Matter honestly. Sorry I meant Mayte I'm not allowed to type her name on my phone but whatever. Oh hai autocorrect.

Not true looking back that I only noticed Matt Fink and Mayte but if you challenged me right this minute to name all the people I can recall after watching the video, I have to declare I can honestly only recall about 10 at the most and I was given the list just like everyone else was.

40 pages. Have you ever hand written more than 40 pages? I'm not sure if I should rewrite what I already have written but it's easily 1000 pages double side or should I just stick it in the machine and see how well the optical character reading works out.

Same here. I have a feeling he's been wearing it for a while and it's a coincidence anyway.

Ida, Donna, and Mayte stuck out for me. Tommy too. But seeing Ida and Donna hold their own was a highlight.


I don't even know why Tony M. was there, but I was relieved they just included him without including him.
