watched APPLAUSE tonight. it was good, not bad at all. however the storyline was rather predictable (everyone sorta gets separated, then reunites again, then talk abt how much they love home.) and the so-called "Rock and Roll Dancing" part. i mean... these teachers have obviously NEVER listened to stuff like Fall Out Boy, Avenged Sevenfold, and not even the old Avril Lavigne (there actually WAS the rock vibe in her older songs). the song was, very obviously, country or techno, or a mix of both. they COULD have used sth like 'Dance, Dance', at least, even if it DOES have certain 'adult' undertones in about three lines of lyrics. but that's it! however, i digress.
the good parts included the beginning of the second part of the show. it was a funny start, really. and the finale was good, i thought. some scenes were also acted out well enough, while a few parts were kinda lame. and the whole 'Travel Machine' thing reminded me disturbingly of the Portkey in the Harry Potter universe. i mean, touching the item, counting to three and spinning around and finally falling down to the destination? rings a VERY loud bell.
but overall, it was an all-around good show, with performers who are not half bad. but i say, the acting can be improved.
HEY, LOOK! I JUST WROTE A REVIEW! :P
P.S.: i had hoped the guys had poor fashion sense. they weren't as bad as i thought. but yeah, they were not as good as us :P

she totally enjoys listening to rock music, dancing, singing and writing. she loves her friends and famiily,
Fall Out Boy, Avenged Sevenfold, and rock music. she dislkes many guys in the class and everything creepy,
creepy-crawlies included but excluding skulls and bats because they really aren't so bad.

Like walking into a dream,
So unlike what you've seen
So unsure but it seems,
'Cause we’ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place,
Just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay,
You'll be back here soon anyway
I see a distant light,
But girl this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see
so how did this come to be
Arrived too early
And when I think of all the places
I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life
And realize this is going too far
I don't belong here,
We gotta move on dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right
To move on and on,
Far away from here
A place of hope and no pain,
Perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain,
'Cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place,
Just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay,
You'll be back here soon anyway
This peace on earth's not right
(with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time
(I’m much too young to fall)
So out of place don't wanna stay,
I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind
Gave me your hand but realize
I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave
And carry on my own life
I don't belong here,
We gotta move on dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right
To move on and on,
Far away from here
Got nothing against you
and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light,
And I’d hope you might
Take me back inside
When the time is right
Loved ones back home all crying
'Cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God
That there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken; I’m choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)
[Solo]
I don't belong here,
We gotta move on dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right
To move on and on,
Far away from here
Got nothing against you
And surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light,
And I’d hope you might
Take me back inside
When the time is right
