I love Bat Boy, and I love Kerry Butler, but I hate the last note sung in "Inside Your Heart". It ruins the song for me. What does everyone else think of this song?

They cut this song when they did it in London and replaced it with a new one.

WAY better, it's called Mine, All Mine. Look for it.

"let me prove I love you, let me become part of you, I see no better way to start, now I can live inside your heart" =) I love this song and I love kerry butler!

The note at the end of 'Insdie Your Heart' was basically a gag anyway -- just a joke about the overly-zealous long notes at the end of big ballads. 'Mine All Mine' is a stronger song, emphasizes Shelley more and builds to her decision to offer her blood to Edgar, rather than have her make the big decision in the first part of the song such as 'Inside Your Heart' did.

Mine All Mine has the same gag last note. It's on the London cast recording for Bat Boy. It's a really good song; I listen to it all the time

I always thought it was supposed to be funny.

The only reason it doesn't bother me is because I also always assumed it was mocking those hugely dramatic last notes in big ballads.

I love this show, I'd kill to be able to see the London version... but living in California, that's just not going to happen.

Well, the show closed ages ago in London. Sorry. There is an OLC available which I prefer, so you should hunt it down. It's different enough from the OCR to make it worth buying.

I think the note will annoy me less now that I know it's a joke.

Thanks for the help,

Is Mine All Mine the song performed at Standing Ovations? If so, it is much better.

I HATED Mine, All Mine in Toronto. I really missed Inside Your Heart.

I got to hear Emma [InsertLastNameHere] and Deven sing it, and I still liked Inside Your Heart more. Mine, All Mine uses many of the same lyrics, and I don't know. Maybe I'm just bias and didn't like it because i heard Emma sing it. Maybe. Lol. I odn't know, really. I just liked Inside Your Heart more.

"Mine, All Mine" is definitely a better song. There is much more of a build up. Larry O'Keefe has said that in "Inside Your Heart", the conflict is known from the start, but in "Mine, All Mine", both characters go through a journey. Also, I love that Emma's Shelley was more of a girl on the edge of woman-hood, rather than Kerry's childlike Shelley. This song is catered to Emma's Shelly more in that respect.

Up In Lost, her last name is Williams. :)

i know its like my fav song then the ending is just like okay lets turn the volume down and pretend we didnt hear that!

Got to agree with the majority - I liked Mine all Mine much more than Inside Your Heart. Emma Williams and Devon May were fantastic in this song and it just seemed to work better in the show for me. It practiaclly blew the roof off the theatre at the last performance!
