takai 1,060 November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 I caved and watched the episode early last night on YouTube for $1.99. to be honest, I actually like this method better, Hasbro is directly receiving my money and view this way. It's cheaper for the season pass than paying for special channels every month and there aren't any commercials. I may just end up doing it this way every season. For the episode itself, I enjoyed it. I think Coloratura is adorable. She was totally cute and I wish we had seen even more of her. I hope she comes back in future episodes. I think Applejack is such a buzzkill. She was salty after the song Spectacle. I'm not really a fan of pop but I enjoyed that song a lot. Did feel bad for Pinkie Pie getting blasted by Swingallop every 2 minutes. The songs were fantastic, really hoping they become available on iTunes soon. Finally seeing Who I Am animated was also satisfying. I enjoyed Lena Hall's performance as well. She has an adorable voice and I'd love to hear her again. All in all, this was a very nice episode that topped off a great season before the finale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castle Bleck 19,375 November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 I rather liked it. it was pretty good. It was a quality episode. The antagonist got on my nerves a tad.

BlackWater627 700 November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 I was going to say that Svengallop was unbelievable 1-dimensional in how much of a despicable jerk he is, if not for the fact that that was the whole point. The guys the purest example of a Hate Sink (a characters whose sole purpose is to be despised) from every known angle. To be fair to him, he did have a hard time growing up. It wasn't easy getting to where he is now. I mean, selling antique chicken statues is a hard life. 1 Kindness is just a few words away.

Tankulis 29 November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 One of the best episodes in recent times. Can't be a bad one if AJ is in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Side Bird 566 November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 On the episode I thought it was nice I enjoyed the singing and Rara's design. I also enjoyed that we most likely just learned the National Anthem of Equestria, which I thought was nice. The episode was pretty predictable, though. 1 Don't be a dweeb ~Gilda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacificGreen 1,163 November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 My reaction to Lady Gaga pony: So, um....are we just going to overlook that AJ basically destroyed "Countess'" whole mega pop star career? Straight up left her without a manager to handle the performance list, stage props, lights, makeup, sound , everything. And no doubt a chunk of her fans won't like the new , or rather old her. No doubt her reputation that exceeds even Sapphire Shores as the pony of pop is ruined, now that she's content with being herself. Never considered you'd ruin your filly friend's entire career, before you intervened, didja, Apple Jack? So we're just ignoring that whole issue? Guys? (See 18:34 ) That's an issue I totally forgot about...so yeah, AJ made a well-intentioned mistake. Derp. That is, unless we assume she got a new manager or decided to quit the pop-star life. 1 "Why should the Bill of Rights be in the official time capsule, but this painting of my dog is in time capsule 7?" -Parks and Recreation, Time Capsule -----Visit my deviantART HERE.

Lexamena 391 November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 (edited) oh I see rara=gaga so this is totally Lady Gaga but ponifiedDon't know if it's been pointed out but it's also interesting that if RaRa is a correlation to GaGa, so is Countess Coloratura to her character Countess this season on American Horror Story. Reminds me of an old joke about gaga liking her meat raw raw raw raw raw (or ra ra ra ra ra?) . Edited November 22, 2015 by Lexamena 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry_Bloom 165 November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 I think Rara is just adorable! Once she sees the truth and is her self. In so happy that Apple Jack was able to get through to her. This is surely one of my favorite of the season so far and that song is the best!! 1 Come Check out my Channel on Equestria TV! http://equestria.tv/r/Cherry_Blooms_Cottage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was just hoping for there to be a little more struggle regarding Rara getting rid of her manager. I understand that Rara wasn't a bad pony, I think I just like My Little Pony episodes that focus more on internal conflict. 1 Signature made by Odyssey (Sawk) LunaDream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arftbmrf 40 November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 Horrible episode, like always. I swear, even I could've writed a better one, and I'm not even a professional writer. Charity? In Equestria? Way to go. I thought that Equestria has everything it needs without any charities, but surprise! It doesn't. Managers? Pop-star crap? Great. What's next? We're gonna see a prostitute having problems with her pimp and have Rarity help her to find a new one? Oh, wait, we've already seen hints about that, with Cherry Jubellle and her 'cherry farm' that needs ponies 'with strong back and hooves'. Yeah, right. Another proof that they all forgot what MLP:FIM should really be about. What Equestria should really be about. And that's just sad. Hope they will put G4 out of it's misery ASAP.

Standing Leaf 15 November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 (edited) I like that episode a lot! The song "The Magic Inside" is the best of season 5, possible the best ever of the show. Even though the story of artists to be themselves, its presented in a realistic way we can relate to. Lena Hall is perfect for the role of Coloratura (Rara). I also found the opportunity to create a short funny video about another guest in the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWrc2VZBKfQ Edited November 22, 2015 by Standing Leaf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonkett 345 November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 (edited) On a random note, I bet after the opening act for the festival, a metal band called Tartarus (ala Slayer) came up on stage.

Shadowgirl87 153 November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 They really take it to the next level by making Rara be more like Lady Gaga... uh, in pony version... I'll be surprise if Lady Gaga play as Rara but it wasn't her. That's song at the end is really touching that I cried(for REAL!). I'm with you AJ!

Sectus 246 November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 (edited) The episode and the message it delivered were both fine. The animation was fine. The new character was fine. But, and I'm trying to put this as politely as I can, the 'music video' slapped in the center of the episode was, uncontested, the most cringe-inducing thing I have ever seen. That is exactly what those who oppose bronies point out when they want something to mock us for, and it should not be encouraged.

Chronamut 355 November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 (edited) I think we've all been in a similar situation, or known someone who has. It happened to me- as chronamut I got very popular online - people treated me like a celebrity for my art and my music, and it started to turn me into someone I wasn't.. and it wasn't until the past few years that I started to peel off the layers and went back to just being simple old me, who didn't have to compete with anyone else, or worry about being forgotten or losing my reputation - once you lose what you think you had you realize that it wasn't what was important in the end. Also for those that know the story of lady gaga, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta was originally just a regular girl with a strong wonderful voice, who released albums but was never noticed - so she changed to become what people wanted to see, but not who she wanted to be. She has since started to say no, and fight back to represent who she wants to be. https://www.facebook.com/CollectiveEvolutionPage/videos/10153693057953908/?pnref=story Edited November 22, 2015 by Chronamut Click each below to see my work!Music | Art: | Spirituality | Chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider float 2,538 November 22, 2015 Share November 22, 2015 (edited) As much as the manager was a dick he was still the one responsible for making her become so popular also it wasn't like he wasn't taking up her side of the offer and having her go on charity events which she wanted to do. It was a proper relationship. I actually thought it was going to be more of a story on how Applejack shouldn't interfere with what Rah Rah's lifestyle but apparently it just became pretty generic. She would not have made it big without the manager's help, she can only bring that kind of inspiration to many ponies only because of the reputation her manager helped her build up to be. I also found it weird for her to have an adult voice as a filly... And speaking of age Rah Rah seems to appear older than the mane six due to the wrinkles she has so it could imply that she and Applejack that are similar of age are older than the mane six by a small margin.
