Song of the Week #5 Album Special #1

UPDATE: Now with added favourites list!

So one idea I had for this song of the week thing is if every 5 songs I do an entire album I love. Hmm, maybe every 10 would be better so theoretically the next one after this would be week 15, that might work better.

So the album I am choosing this week is 'The Greatest Showman' soundtrack!

The Greatest Show

Ever since seeing the film I have been obsessed with this soundtrack! So much so that I couldn't pick a single favourite to showcase.

This Is Me

These two are probably my top favourites but every single song is amazing! If I had to pick a least favourite it would possibly be either 'Tightrope' because I'm not as big a fan of Michelle Williams' voice or 'Never Enough' because that whole plot point is supposed to be about Jenny Lind, the world's most talented opera singer or something along those lines yet 'Never Enough' is definitely not opera, it's a lovely song but it misses the mark genre-wise. It kind of cheapens the moment slightly in my opinion. That's really my only criticism of the whole album though.

After another listen of the album I have done an order of my most to least favourites:

  1. The Greatest Show
  2. This Is Me
  3. From Now On
  4. Come Alive
  5. The Other Side
  6. A Million Dreams + Reprise
  7. Rewrite The Stars
  8. Tightrope
  9. Never Enough + Reprise
I just noticed that on the default graphic for these YouTube videos Keala Settle's name is omitted from the header and I think that does a great disservice to her and her fantastic voice, seriously people she is epic!

Anyway I must fly for now, I will be back soon with another book review (just got to finish the book first) and I might do another little life update thing.
