"You brought me down and doomed this town / So, when we blow this scene / Back we will go to my kingdom below and you will be my queen"

(just to clarify, the song nominated was What You Feel, so the Dawn's Ballet section at the beginning of the Youtube video isn't being considered, not that it would make a huge difference)

I really didn't care for Dawn's voice too much. I know she's not really the focus here, but it definitely knocked it down a point or so when her sections come through. Again, I generally like the big vocal juxtaposition in music (ex. most of my favorite White Stripes songs are the ones where Meg gets to throw some lines in) but here it didn't work for me. It's a shame too, because Sweet himself has some vocal range, the song as a whole just didn't really blow me away. I did enjoy it though!

Sweet's plan is pretty clearly evil though! Making the town sing and dance is sketchy in concept, as really anything that deals with mind control, even in a lighthearted way, kinda pushes the line. But then he refers to people potentially dancing so much they combust, and the evil scale shoots up. Still, there doesn't seem to be much malice behind what he's saying; he's more reckless than anything and doesn't really desire suffering. The exception here the cements him high in the category is Buffy, who he wants to see burn directly, and Dawn, who...

"What I mean / I'm fifteen / So, this queen thing's illegal"

ugh.
