Graffiti Bridge - Why is the performance of "Tick, Tick, Bang" so bad??!!!

Haven't seen GB in like 10 years...can't remember much of it other than it sucked BIG TIME.

Anyhoo, people are always singling out "Tick, Tick, Bang" as especially embarrasing...

What gives???

Oh shit, I forgot about that!!! It's fabulous in a campy way now, but yeah, not sure what he was thinking there. At least it was crazy flamboyant Prince...and it didn't involve roller skates or suspenders.
No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

I mean he couldn't have looked less like a pussy had he been wearing skates. He was up against this testosterone filled band and he didn't even try to tear it up. If you're gonna grow tits for the scene, at least milk them fuckers evillol

I Love the re-recorded version on GB (much more than the weak original) and I love the performance in the film!

Stone me now!

The most cringe-worthy part of the movie for me was the "chili-pepper" scene, with the Time.
