I never really like Ron in the books or movies growing up. He just never struck me as somebody I would like in real life. But I adore Ron the way Joey depicts him. He's still JK Rowling's Ron, but he's also a better person with a better heart and a more animated and memorable personality.
(This is my opinion) Ron is an amazing friend and if you want all the details I will give them to you and the movies decided to show him as just comic relief and a terrible friend. I love how Joey plays him and especially in this musical, it shows how great Ron is. So many people dislike him and it infuriates me. They only look at the bad parts of him like when he was jealous of Harry during the fourth book even tho the real reasons for it was that he felt betrayed that Harry may not have been as loyal to Ron as he was to Harry.
Ironically I love Ron in the books and Joey's Ron is the only one that fits my impression of book Ron -except he isn't an ass to Hermione and Ginny as a running gag. The movies and other forms of media portray him like a wimpy pathetic loser with an unanimated personality. I personally can't imagine how this Ron has a more animated and memorable personality because this is just exactly how he is in the books to me. Also everyone's pretty much a jerk in this musical because it's a comedy, so I don't see how this Ron is more good-hearted with the constant Hermione and Ginny jokes.
"My wand can barely work and my car won't start," - my favourite line. oh, wait. then there's "I was a stupid dufus but now that's gone," oh but then there's "AM I THE ONE WHO TAKES YOU HOME? -DEFINITELY NOT" Ron is the cutest.
I know all of the characters and plots and stuff are so twisted and exaggerated in these musicals, but I feel like this song encompasses Ron Weasley so much. :')
God, this song is supposed to be heartfelt and sad, and it is, but it's also one of the funniest songs in the show. (Tied with "Get in my Mouth. Because Jeff Blim rocked that too.)
It's not fair It's not fair I didn't know I wasn't there It's not fair It's not fair Seeing you Lying there I wasn't strong enough To save you from the evil stuff I wasn't smart like you To do what you would do I know I'm not a leading man I know I'm not a star but I know what makes me special Is what I feel in my heart I'm just a sidekick But I love Being at your side I've been in the shadows for far too long But I'm the leading man of this song I was a stupid doofus but now that's gone I'm ready for a change Gonna keep calm and carry on I know I'm not a pretty boy, but I'm a man I'll find a way to save ya, baby, yes I can Don't confuse the way I was with the way I am I'm ready for a change Gonna take a stand I'm just a sidekick Oh yes, I'm just a sidekick Oh yeah, I'm just a sidekick But I love being at your side I'm always forgotten Always come in second place I'll never be a front man No one can remember my face If I was in a dinner I would surely be the less prominent taste But when I think of how I feel for you And the love I have inside I forget about all the things I'm not And my heart swells up with pride Am I the strongest? No, I'm not Am I the smartest? No, I'm not Am I the hottest? No, I'm not But am I the greatest? No, I'm not Am I the hero? No, I'm not Am I the one who steals the show?

Why did Starkid capture the character of Ron better than the movies! Don't get me wrong, I adore the movies, but they really overlooked Ron as a character and more so used him as comic relief.
When I first heard this song I wanted to feel sorry for Ron, but I can't because of the face of petrified Hermione. She made me laugh! Thanks, Hermione!
This is pretty much my favourite song in the whole show. Like, dance around my flat with my headphones in while my flatmates judge me favourite. (I miiiiight have covered it on my channel.)
This song always reminds me of just how far Joey's come since that first show
he looks different too. i thought it was somebody else for awhile when i first saw it lol
“If I was in a dinner I would surely be the less prominent taste” that’s such a Ron thing to say I love it

Same. I honestly just don’t like Ron in the books and movies
(This is my opinion)

Joey's Ron is closer to the book Ron than the movie Ron. That's what I love about him. The movies did Ron so dirty.

you forgot "am i almost done? no i'm not"
Joey: "Am I the hottest?"
Me: YES YOU ARE JOEY DON'T YOU DARE DOUBT YOURSELF
"But am I the one who takes you home? Definetly not!"
Dear Joey, I beg to differ.
so we have the sidekick and the coolest girl....
We also have Harry Freakin Potter
To have a home to
This song was, by far, my favorite in this one.
ChillyRilly finally someone agrees with me!!!
I 100% agree
His vocal skills have improved SO much since AVPM, and his range has grown by miles!
Yes, watch made in america from black friday
Meanwhile I would sell my soul to be as good as he was here...
I know all of the characters and plots and stuff are so twisted and exaggerated in these musicals, but I feel like this song encompasses Ron Weasley so much. :')
I especially like the "twisted" pun that might not have been meant to be a pun
This is the cutest song ever, no tea, no shade. Just facts.
IS IT BAD THAT THE BEGINNING AWLWAYS MAKES ME CRY OHMYGODS JOEY
“I forget about all the things I’m not.”
Proceeds to name what he is not.
hahaha
The Ron we deserved
YES. Take notes, Steve Kloves!
"Am I nearly done? No I'm not!"
I just read this when the moment was passing
God, this song is supposed to be heartfelt and sad, and it is, but it's also one of the funniest songs in the show. (Tied with "Get in my Mouth. Because Jeff Blim rocked that too.)
The best song ever! The voice thar he do when he sing "I'm just a sidekick but I Love I love i loove being at your side" it's really perfect!!!
i dont know who i love more darren or this dork.
Joey is an angel...
It's not fair
It's not fair
I didn't know
I wasn't there
It's not fair
It's not fair
Seeing you
Lying there
I wasn't strong enough
To save you from the evil stuff
I wasn't smart like you
To do what you would do
I know I'm not a leading man
I know I'm not a star
but I know what makes me special
Is what I feel in my heart
I'm just a sidekick
But I love
Being at your side
I've been in the shadows for far too long
But I'm the leading man of this song
I was a stupid doofus but now that's gone
I'm ready for a change
Gonna keep calm and carry on
I know I'm not a pretty boy, but I'm a man
I'll find a way to save ya, baby, yes I can
Don't confuse the way I was with the way I am
I'm ready for a change
Gonna take a stand
I'm just a sidekick
Oh yes, I'm just a sidekick
Oh yeah, I'm just a sidekick
But I love being at your side
I'm always forgotten
Always come in second place
I'll never be a front man
No one can remember my face
If I was in a dinner
I would surely be the less prominent taste
But when I think of how I feel for you
And the love I have inside
I forget about all the things I'm not
And my heart swells up with pride
Am I the strongest?
No, I'm not
Am I the smartest?
No, I'm not
Am I the hottest?
No, I'm not
But am I the greatest?
No, I'm not
Am I the hero?
No, I'm not
Am I the one who steals the show?
No, I'm not
Am I the one who you should know?
No, I'm not
But am I the one who takes you home?
Definitely not!
Am I the Chosen One?
No, I'm not
Am I the prodigal son?
No, I'm not
Am I almost done?
No, I'm not
But I'm the one who's gonna love you with
All of his heart because
That's what I've got
I'm the one who's gonna love you with
All of his heart because
That's what I've got
I'm not a great athlete, I'm no good at art
And I know my brain is not my most impressive part
My wand can barely work and my car won't start
but I know what makes me special's what I feel in my heart
I'm just a sidekick
Oh yes, I'm just a sidekick
Oh yeah, I'm just a sidekick
But I love
I love
I love
Being at your side
This song is perfect for Rory in Doctor Who
1000%
WEASLEY IS OUR KING

Ron is the greatest though???
I never knew how good of a singer he actually was. #stillcrying
and now he's even better!!
When I sing this song, instead of saying "No I'm not" I say "Yes you are"
Edit: Besides the song almost being over of course
Same. Well, except for this:
"Am I the one who takes you home?"
Me: UNFORTUNATELY NOT
this song. i love. 10/10.
the intro of the song.... I keep repeating it wow. AMAZING
Why did Starkid capture the character of Ron better than the movies!
Don't get me wrong, I adore the movies, but they really overlooked Ron as a character and more so used him as comic relief.
This song is TOTALLY AWESOME !
are we going to ignore joey singing a whole E5 there ?? that is actually one of the most impressive notes ive ever heard in musical theatre
this song is so good
UGH JOEY I LOVE YOU.
I love this tune!! just makes me wanna dance!
When I first heard this song I wanted to feel sorry for Ron, but I can't because of the face of petrified Hermione. She made me laugh! Thanks, Hermione!
Joey is super cute
This gives me the chills
He's actually got a very cool voice
I'm so excited about his Glee performance
2:34 my life story
This is pretty much my favourite song in the whole show. Like, dance around my flat with my headphones in while my flatmates judge me favourite. (I miiiiight have covered it on my channel.)
He was on glee! He's part of the Adam Apples
This song made me cry.

Ron... sidekick... Kim Possible anyone? lol Just kidding! This is definitely one of my favorite songs from Senior Year!
I think that was part of it actually there are loads of references from different tv shows (Avatar the last airbender is one)
Which one was LAB? It's been a while since I've watched this musical... I should watch it again someday...
i can remember your face joey
muahaha. :3
WAIT!! BACK UP!!! WHAT!! WHEN!! HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS!!!

He was part of Adam's apple - glee club :)

69th comment. Don't ruin it.
DEF-IN-ATE-LY NOT.
They can ask Draco to draw something for them.
Their kids are doomed.
Okay, I like Doctor who but NO.
Amy doesn't deserve this XD
Of course, he can never be a leading man with that jaw of his...
incORRECT
Is it wrong to be obsessed with him? Like to the point that my cousin didn't like him, so I punch her? Is that too much..?
