Regarding what you think are poor choices of mine:
Yes, I'm standing by both my favorite 3-song sets for Sweeney and Wicked.
I chose them because I love the way they make me feel. Sure, Pretty Women flows better and March of the Witch Hunters doesn't have the best musicality. But when I (key word there is "I") listen to the 3-song set together, I like the way they make me feel. This was a personal favorites thread. Not a correct everyone's opinion thread.
And I've said it before but I'm a huge sucker for large, loudly orchestrated ensemble numbers. Hence my song choices. And I'm going on 21 years old.
