Let's Chat About Sing 2: This Film Shows Us To Be Brave As We Never Stop Chasing Our Dreams

In addition to being an adorable movie, where the main character is voiced by none other than Matthew McConaughey, the film highlights the importance of chasing your dreams, no matter what obstacles you face.  Pursuing any dream isn’t easy, and this film shows there will always be naysayers and those who are unsupportive. It also reminds us to not be fearful as we chase the life we want to live.

This movie is packed full of great songs that will have you singing and dancing from the opening scene!  In the first song: “Let’s Go Crazy”, the song lyrics are changed from Prince’s original, but basically the theme of this song is about doing what you want to do! “If you don’t like the world you’re living in.  We’re all gonna die, so let’s live the life we want now!

Nana tells Buster “anyone who follows their dreams is bound to face a lot worse than a dip in the canal!  She ultimately tells Buster that if he believes he’s “good enough” then he must fight for what he believes in.  

OMG - what did I just commit myself to?  I finally got my break but now how do I pull this off? They have a myriad of emotions!  Excitement, disbelief, doubt (that they can find and convince Clay to be in their show)  

After overcoming many struggles, the cast managed to fill the theater for their “One night only” performance of “Out of this world”.  

Johnny puts on an excellent performance on piano, signing and dancing/sparring to “Sky” by Coldplay. His mean choreographer jumps into the show and tells Johnny “he will never be great”.  Johnny looks very defeated until Nooshy starts the drumbeat and motivates Johnny to get back up and fight.  Eventually, the mean guy accepts defeat. 

Sometimes all we need is the support of our team to keep us going through a difficult time!

“Joy” - Porsha’s routine.  Mr. Crystal arrives just in time to see Porsha’s performance.  

Her song is about not living in regret.  She wants to feel pride and shame, taste love and pain, don’t wanna look back and say “it could have been me” 

Meena and Darius perform to “Say A Little Prayer” as she pretends Darius is actually Alfonso (the ice cream guy) so she can get into her role and pretend that she loves Darius.  Their performance was right on!  Meena and Alfonso plan to meet up after the show.  

Sometimes, you just have to envision your future and be brave enough to make it happen!

Rosita initially had stage fright and didn't want to jump off the platform.  Until she sees that Moon has been tossed into space by Mr. Crystal and she doesn’t think twice about jumping to rescue Moon.  “I’m stronger than I’ve been before”!  

Oftentimes it’s easier to be brave for someone else than it is for ourselves!

Finally, as Ash and Clay Calloway prepare to take the stage, Clay panics and has regrets about agreeing to perform and he says it’s a mistake because it’s been so long since his last performance.  So, Ash goes on alone and starts singing U2’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” by herself and the audience joins by singing with her.  And then, Clay starts the guitar riff and joins her on stage.  The crowd goes wild.  Clay remembers how much he loves performing!  

He did it scared! But he did it anyway!
