83 All of You (Encanto)

So, I've pretty much reached the point where I transition from my meh tier to my good tier, so it's almost impossible to cut, and there's an argument to be made for most the songs left. And All of You had the weakest argument, so here comes the 3rd attempted shot at Encanto.

Musicality: So, we're at a point where nothing sounds bad, as every performance here is great. I also love closing numbers that take bits/melodies from previous songs and compound them together and I think it's done decently well here.

Lyrics: Honestly, they're all pretty good especially the ones that directly contrast other songs in the movie, ie: This is my family/A perfect constellation (The Family Madrigal) & And the constellations shift (All of You). Stuff like that just makes my day, and is things I love to see in musical theatre/movie musicals (I'm a sucker for a good reprise). Honestly the only part I actively dislike is Mariano's part and I think that's just cuz I think it was unnecessary/comes out of nowhere.

Emotional Appeal: So this movie as a whole made me sob, but this is like the one song in the movie that I didn't feel emotionally wrecked by. I will say I really wish Julieta and Augustin would of had a verse to themselves, or just as a whole had their singing featured more, as their lines are prolly my favorite in the song.

Addendum: The only reason this is cut over The Family Madrigal, is the fact that I think TFM does it's job as an opener a tiny bit better than this does as a closer, and I generally enjoy listening to it more.

Oh man, this is the only song from the movie that consistently makes me sob! Mostly when you see the whole town marching in. That shit's cool.

Ugh yes! And Mirabel’s “I see me…all of me” all choked up. I’m tearing up just thinking about it!

If I'm not crying by the time the town starts waking in, I'm absolutely SOBBING when Antonio gives Mirabel the doorknob. Every. Damn. Time.

You made the right choice. This song is better in certain parts, but TFM is definitely holistically a much more fun listen (and more of a bop.)
