I noticed how the pastel lighting represents the control (from her mother), dim lighting represents her sadness, and the vibrant patterns represent her anger and awareness of herself. This number is so genius and well directed honestly

Her and Hazel have the best solo songs in the show. I never thought I would relate to Susan honestly, I felt everything she sang in this song personally

I love the double meaning behind the song. When she’s singing girls can’t drive, she’s singing about how she’s thinking girls can’t get their driver’s license and have a drive to do anything. It’s terrible that she thinks those things though. I just love the lyrics.

I love this song so much! It's one of my top songs from the season. I adore how the Soc girls get the chance to break free (even if it's just in Susan's imagination). Jamal's choreography and directoral vision really brought Justin's lyrics to life! We NEED a season 2!!!

I love Susan's performance! She really gets a chance to shine!

It’s so well directed

This whole show is such a gift to the world

I’m obsessed with the whole modernized 1950s style in this song.

My mother is 89 years old. When she was a teenager her parents sent her away to an all-girl boarding school. She says there were events where they were taught how to act at a dinner table, how to walk, how to sit, stuff like that. The first part of this vid reminded me of her experiences...

2:18 She really said “Who says that I can’t wear my converse with my dress?” (It could be a nod to that 2008 fashion choice)

The musical numbers exist outside of time and space. The musical numbers are not supposed to sound 1950s and can make anachronistic references. The songs are meant to convey emotions/thoughts/feelings and the modern sound as well as references are meant to help modern teenagers connect with the material and demonstrate that while some things change, some things do not. It took me two episodes to realize what they were doing and once I figured it out I loved it and thought it was brilliant.

@@RetroGirl1967 love this comment! never thought of it that way

Lobe this song. On repeat everyday ❤

When the show comes back (not if, when), I want to see Susans mother because outraged at the sight of Elvis Presley on the tv, but also become hot and flustered by his hips and legs. I want to see her examining herself in the mirror like she's considering 'I'm still a young woman' like she was wondering if she could still catch the interest of the 20 year old truck drive with blue eyes dyed black hair - meaning Elvis. Not in a redemption arc, but so that Susan can get some satisfaction in seeing that her mother for all her pursed lips and criticisms isn't so above it all as she still gets hot and bothered over rock and roll and can say to her "Careful mother. You should fix your face up before you leave. What would the neighbours think?"

I like parts of your idea, but not with Elvis. I do like the idea of Susan's mother being concerned about her looks, and what will happen to her if her looks fade, and her fear of no longer being attractive to men.

best song

She's giving Sharpay Evans.

I really hope she becomes a pink lady!

I'm torn between her and Hazel being the fifth pink lady - though a bit of me thinks that there shouldn't be a rule about how many pink ladies there can be at a time so maybe there'll be six by the end of the show. They can both pull off the jacket

That's what I thought about Hazel, I hoped she was a Pink Lady. But I think Hazel and Susan exist to show how the Pink Ladies existing start changing things for all girls around Rydell Edit: and after today's episode I can say this about Ms. McGee too

@@hexgirl88 sounds right to me. Even if we don't see them in the jackets by the end I'd like to see them both wearing a 'Vote Pink' pin by the end of the show as a sign of support for the Pink Ladies.

At the very least I want to see her and/or Dot steal a pink ladies jacket (as in one of the gang leaves it on a chair somewhere and they quickly gram it) and just try it on looking at themselves in the mirror, giveng their reflection their best tough girl look or 'what are you looking at' look, imagining what it would be like to stand out and be talked about like the pink ladies are. I know they both want the jacket even if they won't admit it. if not then I want to see them wearing a 'Vote Pink' badge as a sign of support

Ok look I’ve been singing this song since I heard it I love the beat and it gives me I wanna say early 00s rock like maybe Avril or Paramore (but a poppy Paramore)

I think it leans more towards late 2000s

The last part wih the baseball bat and the yellow dress was giving lemonade Beyonce, specifcally Hold Up

I understand that song. I have always wanted to be loud, to be seen. But I’ve only been seen like the freak in school. I was bullied and tried to make myself invisible. When all I wanted was to be free to do whatever I could do!

this song doesn’t get enough love

susan is so hot and also her actress i hot too and that eyebrow raise cracked me up because literally like watching roger moores james bond do an eyebrow raise

Susan really grew on me!

I'm still hoping someone will tell Susan to really look at her mother and ask her if she wants to be like that because 'Do you really think your mother is happy?'

I think that's part of the song. It's subtext. "I'm through doing as I'm told" because she doesn't want to end up like her mother.

This is such a Barbie movie song omg

They could be paying homage to Avril Lavigne and the whole late 2000s style of music.

I kept trying to think what song was before this one, before I realized this episode only had two songs.

0:14 Nunca me había dado cuenta de que esa niña representaba la versión pequeña de Susan (y acabo de fijarme que se visten igual por eso)

What song does this remind me of?

En esta canción (y en la de Buddy) te das cuenta de que ellos son solo unas marionetas controlados por sus padres. Susan podria haber sido un buen personaje si esto se hubiera alargado, había una evolución ahí e incluso podría haber sido una buena amiga de Jane y las demás

Forever cursing Paramount+ for cancelling this
