>.< I can't keep it on 3, sorry about that

I defy you! You can't make me choose! -runs off like a spaz-

Alys, name some music that makes you happy then?
I won't mind if you name all the artist you like to hear ^^

If I name them all, the forum will explode. But I'll try to think of some off the top of my head.

Hmm... Duran Duran makes me happy - you can't be sad singing Electric Barbarella.
I tend to like random songs more than groups, really.
And I love musicals. ^_^

Depeche Mode: Enjoy the Silence
Expose: Point of No Return
Kan Kon: Beg Your Pardon (it's so weird I love it)

...let's just say I love 80s music and save some time here...

Evanescence (Depressed/Angry times)
Apocalyptica (Nothing beats cello rock)
Oh Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack
Natasha Bedingfield
Nightwish

Musicals:
Lord of the Dance
Spamalot (<3)
The Scarlet Pimpernel
Jekyll and Hyde (epic music)
The Secret Garden
Sideshow

This is what came to mind right now. There'd be a TON more if I thought about it.

Sweet
Alot of nice music there.

I like musicals as well, but i guess the ones i've seen are more classical ones >.<

Moulin Rouge,
Phantom of the Opera,
Rent

there's some more, but these i remember right now

Alysaria, have you seen Wicked? I REALLY want to see that one.

I like Moulin Rouge and Rent, in spite of the heavy-handedness of the latter. The former is really trippy XD

My sister is on tour with Phantom at the moment - she's the understudy for Carlotta. I like the music...but the storyline just drives me crazy. It's so disjointed and lacking so much of the plot. >.> It's an epic show. I won't deny that it looks absolutely stunning...but it does still lack alot.

Alysaria, have you seen Wicked? I REALLY want to see that one.

No. Unfortunately it was sold out when I had the chance to go. That would be pretty awesome to go see.
I've seen the Producers - that's a pretty fun musical to see live. I've also seen Spelling Bee; it's hysterical, and I totally recommend it. I saw Cats...and fell asleep. Overrated, ridiculous musical about something pointless and silly.

A few other musicals I like:
Once Upon a Mattress
Children of Eden (We managed to get the rights to do it my senior year in highschool. I was Eve. Didn't get to play both her and Mama Noah because the range is written for a black woman, and little white girls can't generally do both classical and jazzy well.)
Into the Woods
Les Miserables (even if it depresses the crap out of me)

Yea, Les Miserables is definetly one of my favourites as well

Reminds me of college when I studied in France.... she is soooo hot
