Amazing talent. Looking past her, undeniable, musical chops she doesn't move a muscle - no matter how small- without heartbreakingly brilliant intention. Bring back cabarets to the masses! Live music is important. Megan Hilty and this song makes that need obvious.
Your need. Her talent is overshadowed by a theme in the world and "hollow wood." NO SCRUPLES. She portrays a manipulative bi$ch & it's accepted. What does that say about you? (Rhetorical.)
The field was bright with clover I saw the finish sign I started as a rover And then victory was mine I thought the race was over But they just keep moving the line They cheered at my persistence But prayed for my decline The path of least resistance Led to Hollywood and Vine I tried to go the distance But they just keep moving the line I jumped all of the hurdles To break out of the pack I started on the outside And then hit the inside track I left the other fillies Back at the starting gate Was ready, on my mark, I got to set To hurry up and wait So talent and ambition Won me a chance to shine I aced the big audition But it's rainin' on Cloud Nine Can't beat the competition 'Cause they just keep moving the line I handled every corner Each bump along the track And when I saw the ribbon, well There was no turning back I won the photo finish I posed for all the men But before I got my trophy Well, the race began again So I made friends with rejection I've straightened up my spine! I'll change each imperfection Till it's time to drink the wine! I'd toast to resurrection But they just keep moving the line! Please give me some direction, 'Cause they just keep moving the line
I feel like lots of musical shows do that. The instrumentation that you hear is more robust than what you see onscreen. Smash does it pretty frequently, and so does Glee.
I don't like or care for musicals. But this song hits every point of my brain and being. This show wasn't something I would have watched. The only reason I did, was because Debra Messing was in it. My first though was, "Oh, Katharine McPhee..." This show was amazing, and I'm sad that it was cancelled. Megan and Katharine, true honest talent. Each time my day doesnt go 'according to plan" I play this song and it isnpires me.

2024 and still get goosebumps everytime i listen when she sings "straighten up my spine"
I’m so glad this video is on UA-cam again. Megan is soooo good in this performance!
Same! I was obsessed with this song and devastated when I couldn't find the video anymore.
I love Megan Hilty's voice so much

Every now and then she plays the Cafe Carlyle and I make it a point to go and bear witness. She is amazing (and so is her band)!
I have to come back here and watch this every now and then. One of the most perfect performances ever!
This is one of the best songs I've ever heard, it's just so so so good. And her voice is just so so so perfect
Her voice, and the lyrics. ❤❤❤
Knocks me out every time I hear it.
This show is so funny, like what do you mean the composer and lyricists are behind the piano
I fell in love with her voice before I could even see this, and I’m enthralled.
The field was bright with clover
I saw the finish sign
I started as a rover
And then victory was mine
I thought the race was over
But they just keep moving the line
They cheered at my persistence
But prayed for my decline
The path of least resistance
Led to Hollywood and Vine
I tried to go the distance
But they just keep moving the line
I jumped all of the hurdles
To break out of the pack
I started on the outside
And then hit the inside track
I left the other fillies
Back at the starting gate
Was ready, on my mark, I got to set
To hurry up and wait
So talent and ambition
Won me a chance to shine
I aced the big audition
But it's rainin' on Cloud Nine
Can't beat the competition
'Cause they just keep moving the line
I handled every corner
Each bump along the track
And when I saw the ribbon, well
There was no turning back
I won the photo finish
I posed for all the men
But before I got my trophy
Well, the race began again
So I made friends with rejection
I've straightened up my spine!
I'll change each imperfection
Till it's time to drink the wine!
I'd toast to resurrection
But they just keep moving the line!
Please give me some direction,
'Cause they just keep moving the line
THIS IS A GREAT VERSION, loved THIS SHOW SO MUCH!
I search for this video at least once a week, Megan Hilty is amazing
All the lucky people in the room getting paid to enjoy a free Megan Hilty concert. 🙌 She is absolutely perfect.
What talent
ELA É SIMPLESMENTE MARAVILHOSA!! ESSA SERIE FOI MARAVILHOSA!
Foi maravilhosa demais ❤
So happy to have bought the DVD. Remember those? Best. Musical. Series. Ever.
Amazing.
This is unreal
This is my favorite song from SMASH. However, did anyone see a horn section? I definitely heard horns, but they weren't there.
I feel like lots of musical shows do that. The instrumentation that you hear is more robust than what you see onscreen. Smash does it pretty frequently, and so does Glee.
She makes my heart happy ❤
