do you ever see a hole in the grass, overrun with plants, leaves, life, and see an unfilled grave? a life that despite what nature prepares, kept on living? do you ever see a tree tagged for research thst will become a single line in a table when its story could fill all the pages of a book? sometimes i want to be the owner of the grave, someone who defies the odds and leaves a hollow to become a story. i want to be the tree that has so many tales to tell, but i fear being overlooked and ignored, used only for useful information others can gain from me. we should live to help others as they help us but not let our stories be told without taking one from the other

did teri polo really sing all that cuz woah
Nope.
Teri Polo, Charles Dance and Andrea Ferreol were dubbed by real Opera singers for their respective singings parts. (Sorry to break if for you T.T)
Here they are.
Also (ik you didn't ask, But I'm gonna add it nonetheless), in an interview, Mr. Dance said that mimiking the singing was actually harder than acting with the mask.
As shown here:

(Image not by me, tho idk who to credit sorry)
#I LOVE YAPPING ABOUT POTO 1990#Teehee#I think that was the right call honestly#Better have actual opera singers than having some shit singing#I shall not mention which adaptation has this problem COUGH COUGH just to have a hot Phantom#answered asks#asks#serious asks with serious answers

Lucy Pearl is one of the dopest groups of all-time.
This is a statement, not a debate. Go argue with someone else lol
Lucy Pearl initially came together as a “one and done” supergroup, but would’ve put out a sophomore project, as this collective, if Raphael didn’t postpone the release of their album for months...withholding Dawn’s coins as an artist on his label. Never go for a verbal agreement. Get the shit in writing, date it, and everybody sign off on it.
Raphael told Dawn he couldn’t pay her before the project drops. But whatever she needs, he’ll make a way and get it. They go way back to high school days. Fast forward to 5 months of their album’s delay. Dawn came a knocking cause the bank came a knocking about her $1500 mortgage payment for her home. Raphael told her, as his artist, that she gotta go get it somewhere else 🙃.
Poof goes her house to the bank and down goes her credit.
“Spend yo money baby” Chile... Back in the day, the rumor was Dawn used to break up groups. Tuh. Jus👏🏽 tice👏🏽 for my girl.
Them damn near slave music contract stories back then smh. I have many of them thumbtacked in my brain. Like Dawn and the members of En Vogue only getting paid 2 pennies each per record sold. Two copper Lincolns. That was the deal for their first two albums... They were signed to a production company signed that was signed to the major. Never mind that Teri was dating the (manipulative) producer, putting her emotions before her and the girls’ business 🤦🏽♀️ smh.
En Vogue’s producers and higher ups got mansions off of them. Meanwhile, Dawn had a $700 apartment she was struggling to pay. Then got evicted and moved back with her parents...while they were one of the biggest girl groups at that time, selling over $20 million.
They still don’t beat Dry Hill tho. They had to split one penny per record sold. Chile I—...
What Tip said: “Industry rule number four-thousand-and-eighty, record company people are shady.”
