56. God, That's Good!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODWHhYftOcw" data-time="

From Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet St.
Nominated by KBM

I respect Sondheim immensely, but Sweeney Todd (as are all Sondheim musicals, I suppose) is quite an acquired taste. And it's one that I haven't acquired yet. I wish the songs were more melodic.
It's just...blah. Mostly just blathering, LuPone sounds rather annoying here but it's not really her fault, she did her best with her parts. Though Sondheim did very creative things with the lyrics and vocal parts and such, but if the end product sounds more like cat pies, then it might not be worth it. I just want to skip this mostly and I respect it more than I like it, otherwise it might've been lower.

55. Make Our Garden Grow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlVD-jrq_Yk" data-time="

From Candide
Nominated by KBM

Somehow I wrote this as 'Make Our Garden Die', mixing the title with This Jesus Must Die. This is another musical I'm not familiar with. Anyway I...think I need the full context of this song to really appreciate it. As it is now, I don't know if these people joining Candide and her man are actually part of the story and thus rightfully sing together near the end, or is it just backing to make the ending powerful. Reminds me of Sunday (now that's one good crowd song). And anyway most of this song is a (boring, sappy) duet sooo yeah, I can't really put this one high. I have a feeling it might hold special personal value to KBM though.
