I'm going to be honest, I don't like the musical, I find it boring but I actually really like the soundtrack. Some of it at least. I FIND some of it to bee too repetitive for me but i really like 3-4 of the songs and i do think it is cruel
Maybe a bold prediction, but could a lot of voters be 'new' StarKid fans that have only seen TGWDLM and BF? Not to say that those shows have weak songs, but the consistent placement of those songs quite high on the list really jumps out to me.
Corneel Vanfleteren I understand the music near the top from BF because that music was probably some of my favorite. However, many of the songs in TGWDLM weren’t nearly as good as the songs from other shows in my opinion
@@abbyfrie7558 And Darren, AJ, Carlos, Nick, Clark, Pierce, Kaley, Meredith, and Mark aren't? I like Jeff's songs a lot, but I honestly think out of all the Starkid songwriters, he's distinctly average.
I wonder if all of the Black Friday songs is just because of the hype following the new release. Not that they aren’t good, but.... No MAMD songs or Ani, seriously? Listen to Your Heart is Fricking Bop! So is Big T’s Temptation, Long Ago and Far Away, and Haunted By the Kiss, all of which I voted for.
i really feel like there's a recency bias. like yeah, they're great and all, but i feel like there are other songs that deserve to be on this list. idk though, i guess it's just my own opinion.
All of the lists Lyle has done recently have massive recency bias (not blaming him, of course -- it's all based on voting). It would be nice to see these lists redone in a year and hopefully see more equal representation.
they are good songs and I definitely feel long ago and far away should be on this (but that's just because not a lot of people have seen ani unless they were fans when it came out) but twisted, black friday and TGWDLM definitely deserved to get these votes, its not just recency bias like people are saying they are just the best soundtracks
"no spoilers but Fs in chat for ANI and MAMD" disappointed, but not surprised. also: i just saw where "everything ends" placed and i'm so sorry, that must've been hard for you. Fs in the chat for lyle
@@LyleTheWaterAquaticGuy it hurt me too tbh. i somehow missed the voting for this so before i watched the video, i made my own top 10 list and can i just say... oof.
I really love that no matter how many of these lists people make on UA-cam, 9 times out of 10 Kick It Up A Notch is in the number one spot. Looks like StarKid fans have unanimously agreed on what the best song is. And Tbh, they’re right.
I understand everything on this list, because let's face it, every StarKid song is a bop. But as someone who voted for at least two Ani songs, the lack of representation is killing me. Also, watching this, I get the feeling if I made a StarKid songs ranking the top ten would just be songs from Twisted and Ani with maybe Let It Out in there lmao.
@@rowanheart8122 there's clark, pierce, and a bit of meredith, but i personally think it's fitting for the musical's theme. i get that it's not really other people's thing though.
The fact that show stopping number wasn’t first by a mile was so incredibly refreshing, every compilation I watch it’s just TGWDLM and BF like yea they’re good shows but the lack of representation from MAMD, ANI, and starship was painful
Faceless Teenager you mostly proved my point right there most people don’t like ANI or MAMD, and I posted this comment before I got to the end, and only the most famous song from starship was on there. It’s all the newbies that have only seen TGWDLM and BF that are tipping the scales
@@katesunderland1415 it can't just be the newbies that are tipping the scales, there are not that many, most of the fanbase existed before TGWDLM and Black Friday just because there are a bunch of newbies doesn't mean the best songs aren't going to do well the top ten was full of twisted and even had starship TGWDLM got I think two songs in the top 10, so clearly the newbies do not outweigh the originals as black friday was in the top 10
I'd be interested to see a revote in a few months once BF isn't so new, I def feel like some of those songs are more popular now than they will be in time.
IDK if this opinion is unpopular or not, but I thought BF was the worst one they've done so far. Out of all of the new people only Curt and James did well (Not counting my angel Dylan) and the atmosphere was just WAYYY more depressing. Kendall is an okay singer, but What if Tomorrow Comes was just a sad song that wasn't really that good. CaliforMIA was a good song but Angela did not have the voice for it (If Mariah was Lex, it would have been incredible). I'm sad to say it, but that musical was a major decline in quality from the rest.
Lukestealth It’s a more extreme opinion of what some people have said. Most people are able to recognize that it was definitely a big change from what they usually do. I personally don’t love it, but it’s not my least favorite starkid musical. I don’t mind the somber mood of it, I just don’t think they’ve perfected how to do a more serious musical while still including comedy yet. Also, imo half of the songs went on way too long for what they added to the show to the point where I skip through them now.
Lukestealth i can sort of understand most of this but Kendall is incredible. She’s such a clean and beautiful singer. You for sure aren’t giving her enough credit. What if Tomorrow is so much more than a sad song, it’s a beautiful piece of symbolism and art.
I love TGWDLM just as much as the next guy, but c'mon, there's no need for so many songs from it in the top 40, Starkid have so many shows with songs just as good or better.
@@LyleTheWaterAquaticGuy i'm only on do you want to play, and i swear mamd and ani have such great soundtracks. imma throw hands at these people. (ha, as if i didn't vote in this myself... :/ ) edit: i read the description and wtf
(un?)popular opinion: I've been following Starkid for years and I think that the songs have consistently gotten better as time has passed. I'm not sad that TGWDLM and Black Friday are popular at all- the songs have a much more consistent amount of quality compared to older works. While there've certainly been standouts, many of the older Starkid songs don't make the mark like newer ones.
@@jamieestes3956 I don't think it's just nostalgia? The older musicals have so many great songs not just generally but also technically. They have complex rhythms and they fit the plots perfectly. Just dismissing their great work by saying it's "nostalgia" is criminally oversimplifying things.
Yes this! There's a quality there(especially in Black Friday) that just wasn't in a lot of older ones. There were a decent amount in this list where vocals were off pitch, mainly in AVPM
I'm not mad that "Goin' Back to Hogwarts" and "Twisted" aren't in your personal top 40... just disappointed In all seriousness, thank you for creating such interesting content for the fandom!! Love you hun!!
Honestly, Starship in general just hits different than the other shows. Twisted is probably my favourite in the music department but Starship feels really unique in Starkids oeuvre and it holds a special place in my heart
Yeah, I think Starship will always have a special place in my heart music-wise in part just because it was the last StarKid show Darren wrote the music for
Calm down Kelley it’s only 5 from there, which is good considering it’s recent, and also because maybe people liked Black Friday more than you did, and I don’t see a problem with that
Okay the one song from Black Friday that should definitely be there is If I Fail You. I was literally in tears. But I agree with a bunch of the comments that a lot of voters were probably newer fans. I've been here almost since the beginning, and there are definitely some older bops that are missing
I know this is off topic (kind of) but I just had a horrible thought about Twisted. So, after Aladdin has his really weird scene (when he's talking to himself and that stuff) Aladdin asks Ja'far why he is so obsessed with Jasmine (or something along those lines). Anyway, then Ja'far replies with "because I love her" and then Aladdin goes "ew she's like half your age- total pedo". Which means, theoretically, becasue Jasmine is 16, Ja'far is in his early thirties. And Aladdin was 'Orphaned at 33' which was last year, which makes him 34. Wihch makes Aladdin older than Ja'far and that is NOT SOMETHING I WANT TO THINK ABOUT BUT HERE WE ARE. It makes me very uncomfortable and thank you that is all.
I know that Ani and MAMD got cheated but honestly so did TTO. I think TTO's actually got some strong music outside of the more popular ones (Wagon on Fire got the spot it deserves though) and seeing Twisted dominate the top spots (for as much as I understand) disheartened me a little. Also there were not NEARLY as many Very Potter songs on here as I think there should be honestly. Also there were so few Starship songs on here and yeah it only has eight but they're all amazing. The Way I Do shocked me at its low placement. Tl;Dr: this is Voldemort is Going Down erasure
aw come on, listen to your heart isn’t even on the list oof that makes me kinda sad ngl... f in the chat for mamd. not to be mean, but like i’m not mad at ani not being on here, the songs weren’t as good. clark did amazing but they just weren’t as catchy. i didn’t know so many people shared my opinion
Okay but all of the Black Friday songs (besides Feast or Famine ig but that's still kinda a little too high for my tastes) do NOT deserve to be any higher than like... Sidekick or something imo. (I'm ignoring some of the other songs after that that I can see the appeal but I dont like.) What If Tomorrow Comes is WAY too high for what it is and I was honestly shocked. Its great but not groundbreaking. No MaMD or ANI? I'm honestly disappointed-- Kick It Up A Notch is where it deserves.
I've been here from the very beginning (and have big favourites from almost every show) but I still think the performances and songwriting from TGWDLM & BF were some of their very best. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I voted for some from my other faves of course (TTO, Firebringer, Starship) but all I'm saying is that it's not just the new fans. Some of us genuinely love the new stuff too!
Good. There was gonna be fighting if The Way I Do and When The World's At Stake weren't at least reasonably high. (Also If I Believed, but I trust y'all when it comes to that one.) Also pleased with the placement of Wagon On Fire.
I think the reason BF songs ranked so high is that they're just fresh in people's minds right now. The music is very good, but I think once the fandom gets some distance from it they will start to settle in to different spots
Am I the only proud of the top 10? Every song was good or iconic. My only complain is that neither "the night belongs to snarl" or "I don't really want to work today" (forgot the actual name of the song) inst here because they were bops.
I feel like this was swayed by the fact that Black Friday is fresh on everyone's minds. It's a good show, and feast or famine is badass, but other shows need more representation on this list.
i saw this when i first got into the fandom and pretty much agreed with all of these rankings, but now that I've finished all the musicals and had some time to think about how much i actually like the songs, I'm with you. this is kind of disappointing.
In Black Friday they really leveled up in quality, I hate rewatching anything, but I've already rewatched Black Friday multiple times. Tgwdlm is overrated tho, there are some great songs. But it's overrated.
Curious to what was 99th, also a f in chat for both Ani and MaMD, I did try to include one of each musical in my top ten, sadly there's more than ten musicals. Ani made the cut but MaMD's sound quality makes it less easy on the relisten
@@LyleTheWaterAquaticGuyLong Ago and Far Away, because its the one I listen to the most. One of the votes was mine for Wizard of the Year, admittedly I only remembered it as Gilderoy's song and had to figure out if it was Wizard of the Year.
Mega F for ani, the only reason I belive no songs were up is because of the mix if ani being the one musical no one has seen and that all the songs were just choreograph numbers while the singing was done by clark.
The most recent songs are good and all but i just have such a nostalgic love in my heart for older songs especially from the potter musicals also twisted is perfection and ani is so underrated but i love it so muchhhh❤️😫
i haven’t seen ANI or MAMD but even i am mad that not even one song from either got on here. i love black friday and the guy who didn’t like musicals, they’re both in my top 3, but wow. the lack of representation grinds my gears
i think the only reason so much tgwdlm and black friday was on this list is because some people have only seen those two. and nothing’s wrong with that at all, but you should probably have watched the other ones to pick your favourite
Disclaimer: I absolutely love BF, and I love the soundtrack for Ani (but not the actual play) I feel like Long Ago and Far Away should be on this list. There are some BF songs that absolutely should not have taken its place. I mean, Ani is my favorite Starkid soundtrack, so I would argue that bunch of songs should be here, but without that bias, Long Ago and Far Away definitely deserves to knock something off. EDIT: Forgot to say that I love the fact that Kick It Up a Notch is #1.
Yeees, When the World's At Stake honestly might be my top favorite Starkid song (and I say that as someone who's generally extremely biased toward Darren and his music lol), just because of how gorgeous and profound it is! The TTO score in general is easily my favorite of Jeff's work - Lost Without You is so good too, and Wagon On Fire of course, and even Naked In a Lake is adorable ^__^ But World's At Stake... it just hits different for me for some reason. Of course, cannot complain about Kick It Up a Notch being tops, because Darren absolutely DOES write the hell out of a Disney-esque villain song :D
I’m really upset that mamd and ani didn’t place the list. But also, really happy that kick it up a notch won? It’s not my favorite star kid song but looking at their music from a critical point of view rather than personal, it certainly deserves it. The catchy melody, the sinister mood, the amazing lyrics. That song is just amazingly written.
I feel like the musicals that were released in between Harry Potter trilogy ending and before the Hatchfield musicals began dont get the love they deserve Theres just way to many Black Friday and TGWDLM to be fair.
Twisted (the song) could have been higher. For me, the show Twisted is like the peak of StarKid. That balance of the story, the songs, the acting, the singing, the humor, the serious undertones, the props, the cinematography, among others, is just that good. All of the elements coalesced into a very remarkable masterpiece.
Question: I’m obviously doing the anonymous starkid confessions series but would anyone be interested in a video of my personal unpopular opinions?
yes! i love seeing other people's opinions and seeing if i agree or not... and so far i really like your taste in things lol.
absolutely
Yes
Yes!
yes!
I'm not Ani's biggest fan but come on now this is just cruel.
I am ani's biggest fan and it is cruel
Long ago and far away will never not be gorgeous
I'm going to be honest, I don't like the musical, I find it boring but I actually really like the soundtrack. Some of it at least. I FIND some of it to bee too repetitive for me but i really like 3-4 of the songs and i do think it is cruel
i swear kick it up a notch feels like a totally different experience sometimes

Ok, feast or famine is a great song. But really, over the song TWISTED? I respect opinions of course, but still I would disagree with that
Twisted is such a great song! So, I agree.
I am in 1000% agreement with you
yes!!!! its a great song but. twisted is the best in general
LegoMelonz15 ok yeah big agree
Oy. I mean, I personally memorized the whole 8 minute song, but that could be a me problem.

Some of us genuinely love the new stuff too!
The Kick it up a Notch reign continues and honestly, I'm ok with it
i'm so glad feast or famine was given this recognition.
Show stopping number will always be in the top 10
Imma be honest, I'm just happy that Show Stoppin Number just wasnt first
I almost cheered when Kick It Up a Notch was #1
I don’t know why I love it so much, it just gets me so excited and I get super into it.
For some reason the aggressive red LYLE in the corner of Everything Ends was killing me 😂
Edit: actually every time it appeared it was just hilarious
Good. There was gonna be fighting if The Way I Do and When The World's At Stake weren't at least reasonably high. (Also If I Believed, but I trust y'all when it comes to that one.)
Also pleased with the placement of Wagon On Fire.
I think the reason BF songs ranked so high is that they're just fresh in people's minds right now. The music is very good, but I think once the fandom gets some distance from it they will start to settle in to different spots
I wish Different as can be was on there but I’m in total agreement with the #1
I’m just saying... AJ deserved so much better 🥺🥺 and Gilderoy’s song in AVPSY is a MASTERPIECE
Am I the only proud of the top 10? Every song was good or iconic. My only complain is that neither "the night belongs to snarl" or "I don't really want to work today" (forgot the actual name of the song) inst here because they were bops.
I’m only here for Wagon on Fire, that song is such a vibe
I feel like this was swayed by the fact that Black Friday is fresh on everyone's minds. It's a good show, and feast or famine is badass, but other shows need more representation on this list.
I'm just glad too see the all the Twisted songs there, even though I feel like The Power in Me is consistently slept on
i saw this when i first got into the fandom and pretty much agreed with all of these rankings, but now that I've finished all the musicals and had some time to think about how much i actually like the songs, I'm with you. this is kind of disappointing.
smh black friday + tgwdlm stans rlly overlooked the older shows :(
The real problem is tgwdlm, black friday is one of their best shows, but tgwdlm is so overrated
In Black Friday they really leveled up in quality, I hate rewatching anything, but I've already rewatched Black Friday multiple times.
Tgwdlm is overrated tho, there are some great songs. But it's overrated.
Can't believe MAMD was done so dirty, Listen to your heart is all I think about
Curious to what was 99th, also a f in chat for both Ani and MaMD, I did try to include one of each musical in my top ten, sadly there's more than ten musicals. Ani made the cut but MaMD's sound quality makes it less easy on the relisten
It was Wizard of the Year with 25 votes (one vote being mine because it’s my 5th favourite). Out of interest: which ani song did you vote for?
@@LyleTheWaterAquaticGuyLong Ago and Far Away, because its the one I listen to the most.
One of the votes was mine for Wizard of the Year, admittedly I only remembered it as Gilderoy's song and had to figure out if it was Wizard of the Year.
Mega F for ani, the only reason I belive no songs were up is because of the mix if ani being the one musical no one has seen and that all the songs were just choreograph numbers while the singing was done by clark.
Inevitable was completely robbed like wtf, but I’m glad that Let it Out got that far
The most recent songs are good and all but i just have such a nostalgic love in my heart for older songs especially from the potter musicals also twisted is perfection and ani is so underrated but i love it so muchhhh❤️😫
i like how pretty much all my favourite songs are the lowest ranked lmaoo
Dylan is so good at romantic duets
I love watching Jeff behind Jaime in that bit of Join Us (And Die). Bouncy lil shit.
“kick it up a notch” rights!!!!!!
glad kick it up a notch got first because if my listening to it for 5 hours straight on loop is any indication i think its a pretty good song
i haven’t seen ANI or MAMD but even i am mad that not even one song from either got on here. i love black friday and the guy who didn’t like musicals, they’re both in my top 3, but wow. the lack of representation grinds my gears
Y'all really sleeping on Long Ago And Far Away. Absolute bop.
No one:
Lauren: FIRE
i think the only reason so much tgwdlm and black friday was on this list is because some people have only seen those two. and nothing’s wrong with that at all, but you should probably have watched the other ones to pick your favourite
Disclaimer: I absolutely love BF, and I love the soundtrack for Ani (but not the actual play)
I feel like Long Ago and Far Away should be on this list. There are some BF songs that absolutely should not have taken its place. I mean, Ani is my favorite Starkid soundtrack, so I would argue that bunch of songs should be here, but without that bias, Long Ago and Far Away definitely deserves to knock something off.
EDIT: Forgot to say that I love the fact that Kick It Up a Notch is #1.
What if tomorrow comes being placed right next to Show Stopping Number is making me feel a lot of negative emotions
Everyone is talking about all the Black Friday songs, but what about Twisted? Almost every twisted song is on here
*Dont get me wrong, i love BF and TGWDLM but "When the worlds at stake" from TTO needed a higher spot*
Yeees, When the World's At Stake honestly might be my top favorite Starkid song (and I say that as someone who's generally extremely biased toward Darren and his music lol), just because of how gorgeous and profound it is! The TTO score in general is easily my favorite of Jeff's work - Lost Without You is so good too, and Wagon On Fire of course, and even Naked In a Lake is adorable ^__^ But World's At Stake... it just hits different for me for some reason.
Of course, cannot complain about Kick It Up a Notch being tops, because Darren absolutely DOES write the hell out of a Disney-esque villain song :D
The cut at 08:13 is just... evil
PEOPLE NEED TO GIVE ANI A CHANCE 👏👏👏 that show has sooooooo many awesome songs
Even though they aren’t very high on the list, I’m glad Made in America and Do you want to play made it to this list
I was surprised about do you want to player tbh
I'm just happy that kick it up a notch is in the first place
ani is my favourite show (tied with starship) and i’m so disappointed in this i voted for ani so much!!
I’m really upset that mamd and ani didn’t place the list. But also, really happy that kick it up a notch won? It’s not my favorite star kid song but looking at their music from a critical point of view rather than personal, it certainly deserves it. The catchy melody, the sinister mood, the amazing lyrics. That song is just amazingly written.
I feel like the musicals that were released in between Harry Potter trilogy ending and before the Hatchfield musicals began dont get the love they deserve
Theres just way to many Black Friday and TGWDLM to be fair.
of course im going to watch this video because i love you and your channel, but GOD I DONT KNOW IF IM GOING TO BE ABLE TO COPE WITH THIS LIST
ok it wasnt AS bad as i thought.... but jesus christ it was rough
lyle out here making new nametags every video and im loving it
Twisted (the song) could have been higher. For me, the show Twisted is like the peak of StarKid. That balance of the story, the songs, the acting, the singing, the humor, the serious undertones, the props, the cinematography, among others, is just that good. All of the elements coalesced into a very remarkable masterpiece.
wagon on fire is and always will be my favourite starkid song
I love Your Wagon Is On Fire as much as the next guy, but NO WAY is it better than the song Twisted. I mean, COME ON guys. TWISTED.
I'm just glad Wagon is on Fire is getting the appreciation it deserves.
So surprised about Ani - I know it isn't one of their most popular shows, but I think of everything in it the music is fantastic!
MAMD is painfully underrated by this fandom
