1. One song per person until I get to yours
2. Please provide a link (preferably YouTube or Spotify)
3. If there's a video of the performance, I'll take that into account as well but if not I'll just judge the song
4. If it originates from a musical and is sung by a character(s), it definitely counts. If it comes from a musical episode, segment, or parody in a usually non-musical media, that counts (like See My Vest from the Simpsons). If it's actually part of a performance in-story and it doesn't relate to the character's own story/thoughts/feelings, I reserve the right to deduct points or discount it.

Futurama - Opera
6/10

Quite amusing and I can tell it's written with some love for the genre. It's great they packed so much into, like, 3 minutes. But the lyrics and rhyming got kinda wonky at places and the melodies were rather generic and forgettable. And the vocal performances were just...decent.

The Lion King - He Lives In You
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GqyE7GiRJ4

I wish there was a good live version of the musical on YouTube, but the best I can seem to find are morning show performances. No doubt you've heard and seen the performance, but I just wanted to see it again.

Beetlejuice - Barbara 2.0
7/10
I haven't actually watched the musical start to finish, just saw some clips, and I never heard this song before. It was quite good though I don't love Adam's vocals. It's a good moment of self-realization and empowerment for Barbara, but the song itself is just alright. It's kinda too generic I suppose? There are no surprises nor standout moments. Wouldn't mind listening again but not something I'd put in my playlist.

Mass Effect 2 - I Am the Very Model of a Scientist Salarian
5.5/10
Respect to him for keeping Gilbert and Sullivan alive even in...2050 AD or whenever the games are set (never played them!). And him changing the lyrics to his actual job is something that I'm quite confident the actual G&S would approve.
But well, it's a very truncated version, it's not sung as fast as could be, and there was a weird pause between the first and second verse for some reason? But the main thing holding it back for me is there's just no accompaniment! G&S music is just so important to the songs themselves.

Rocketman - Saturday Night's Alright
6.5/10
I haven't actually watched this movie either. Is that the kid from Moonrise Kingdom? No wait, he would be older than that by now. Is he the kid from Jojo Rabbit? *Googles* Oh actually it's a newcomer I think. Huh.
See, the thing with jukebox musicals is that the songs don't usually really work seamlessly because it was written not for a story? Well, I suppose ideally I should judge jukebox musicals as their own thing, but I have not reached that level of enlightenment yet.
Well, the song itself is alright. Not really my kinda jam in itself, but it's okay. The scene is pretty fun to watch but it's a bit dimly lit for some reason?

Rankings
Beetlejuice - Barbara 2.0 - 7
Rocketman - Saturday Night's Alright - 6.5
Futurama - Opera - 6
Mass Effect 2 - I Am the Very Model of a Scientist Salarian - 5.5

Sunspot - When the Revolution Comes

(all three recorded their parts separately and they were put together to make this - this was when they weren't doing live performances because COVID so this was their substitute)
