The CMC have a varying audience, a lot of the time. Lots of people like them, others find them to be repetitive and even annoying. But really now, how can one say no to the chicken and her two dictionary friends? Edited May 27, 2014 by DashForever 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wubsie 1,123 October 11, 2012 Share October 11, 2012 (edited) This episode was pretty good in my opinion I don't really mind the CMC episodes. This was stupid and funny at the same time. More stupid because the CMC ignored their ACTUAL talents and looked ridiculous at the concert. (which was one of the most hilarious parts in the series) They kind of did deserve that trophy. I liked this episode overall but the CMC could have gotten their cutie marks in it. Edited October 11, 2012 by ~Wubs~ 2 I Steam I PhotoBucket I Youtube I Ask Me Anything!

HomuraBL 851 October 13, 2012 Share October 13, 2012 The only CMC episode I actually liked a lot this season. The song was actually surprisingly good even though it was meant to be bad. xD The episode was pretty funny. It was even good to see what their talents will be.

NavelColt 22,881 October 13, 2012 Author Share October 13, 2012 I think my favorite moment of this episode was at the end. Applejack and Rarity came back stage to congratulate their sisters on winning, but Rainbow Dash was there as well, for Scootaloo :3 As a big fan of Scootalove, and the concept of Dash acting as a surrogate sister figure to Scoots, this moment was very cool. The show writers were not at all obliged to include Dash, but they did anyway, and that attention to detail is key. It's part of why this show is awesome. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry Blossom 864 October 13, 2012 Share October 13, 2012 I really loved the CMC them they did for the talent show, but I really think that it was really cute and adorable with the weird outfits. Plus the. I also found it pretty funny that Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo switched their jobs. This really made me think about something. What if, because Scootaloo sings pretty weirdly, Rainbow Dash doesn't get her own song.

The show writers were not at all obliged to include Dash, but they did anyway, and that attention to detail is key. It's part of why this show is awesome. It's funny; I had the same reaction. The first time I saw this episode, I thought nothing of it, because I had not yet discovered the insidious flavor of waifu that is Scootalove. After I "got it", I had a strong reaction to Dash showing up for her little friend. 2 Regards, PlunderSteed Bassist, pianist, and backing vocalist for MLP-themed metal band Draconequus.

Batbrony 16,055 November 14, 2012 Share November 14, 2012 (edited) This was a fun episode; not much else I can really say about it other than that, since it's not a particularly serious episode. The CMC, as expected, get into all types of shenanigans, culminating in their wonderfully disastrous performance (and quite frankly a delightfully witty send-up on Daniel Ingram's part to the hilarious, over-the-top cheesiness of 80's pop and rock groups! ). I still remember the first time I saw that scene; my mouth was literally hanging open the entire time, I simply could not believe how bad, and yet at the same time how good, that song was!!!!! I know that it's not everyponies favorite episode, and it's certainly not one of mine, but like I said, what else can ya really say, other than this is a really funny episode with a light, but still important, message about discovering your talents? Well, that, and the terrifying image of the CMC in their costumes is forever seared in my mind. Thanks show! Edited November 14, 2012 by Batbrony 2 "You'll hunt me.

TheGreatandPowerfulZecora 16 January 31, 2013 Share January 31, 2013 I love this episode, not only because of the song, the way Applejack does not lie, and stays true to her element, and the way we got a sneck peak at their cutie marks. I like it that way, because they don't want people to get completely fed up with the CMC epsiodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Rarity 1,240 April 21, 2013 Share April 21, 2013 Wow, this was an awesome and ADORABLE episode! And I was sure Sweetie Belle should sing, Scootaloo should do dance, and Apple Bloom should do costumes. After they each saw the other do it really well, they should have realized who should have done each task! And I really, REALLY hoped Sweetie Belle would sing in the middle of the song and make everything awesome! But, she didn't...

Starlight Song 43 April 21, 2013 Share April 21, 2013 The CMC song in this episode was awesome!!! It also basically tells you what their cutie marks are though, even though I kinda like that. Knowing what their special talents are is a little refreshing because they fail at everything else...

Shawn Parks 1,798 April 21, 2013 Share April 21, 2013 I love that Twilight Sparkle kept saying "My Little Ponies." I don't know why, but I really get a kick out of that. Celestia says it in another episode, but I forget which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygen 6,066 April 21, 2013 Share April 21, 2013 I actually like the CMC and don't hurt me but I like the song in this episode kinda, I think maybe with a few places that could use better vocals and it'd be actually pretty darn good. Also hearing Twilight say "My Little Ponies" is for some reason just awesome. . Dunno why, maybe its adorable, maybe its just cool or awesome, idk but i like it . 2 Thanks to Gone Airbourne for the awesome sig!

True Rarity 1,240 April 24, 2013 Share April 24, 2013 I love that Twilight Sparkle kept saying "My Little Ponies." I don't know why, but I really get a kick out of that. Celestia says it in another episode, but I forget which one. Yeah, I think "My Little Ponies" just adds a clever twist to the episode. Why call the show "My Little Pony" if you're not going to use the phrase in the actual show? I actually like the CMC and don't hurt me but I like the song in this episode kinda, I think maybe with a few places that could use better vocals and it'd be actually pretty darn good. Also hearing Twilight say "My Little Ponies" is for some reason just awesome. . Dunno why, maybe its adorable, maybe its just cool or awesome, idk but i like it . Again, it is really cool to hear them say "My Little Ponies". And I agree about the song! My deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Honor 2,671 May 29, 2013 Share May 29, 2013 Ah this episode. I remember it well. I really liked Sweetie Bell's cute singing. The end part was good. I always thought the CMC sang well in a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerdy Luigi 2,065 June 20, 2013 Share June 20, 2013 This epsiode gave me the :lol:s, I liked how a rock song became a great comedy act because the CMC are trying too hard to get their cutie marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Periwinkle 3,775 August 10, 2013 Share August 10, 2013 This episode has the absolute best song in the series in my opinion, who's to say the CMC won't get their cutie marks in music? Look at all those adoring faces at 2:27! In all seriousness, I highly doubt the CMC will get their cutie marks in what seems obvious (Sweetie Belle: singing, Apple Bloom: interior decorating, Scoots: ???). An episode where they get the cutie marks everyone expects them to get would be quite... Lame, for lack of a better word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An episode where they get the cutie marks everyone expects them to get would be quite... Lame, for lack of a better word. It's weird, I hear that a lot of people likes this song. Personally, I don't really like it at all, though for some reason, I love two particular remixes of it. I have thought about something in this episode. The cutie mark crusaders wants their cutie mark very much and ASAP (OBVIOUSLY, DUH)and they try a bunch of different things. Twilight Sparkle knows what their talents are and she's expecting that for example, Sweetie Belle will sing. When she hears that's not the case, why did she not tell them to stick to whatever they are good at after the show? I mean, and tell them exactly what that is too. Maybe it's because she wants them to discover it themselves? As already said in the show "You will get your cutie mark when you find out your true talent" oh and btw this is quite funny: Sweetie Belle: Break a leg! c: Apple Bloom: SWEETIE BELLE! What a thing to say! :c Edited August 10, 2013 by Jokuc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiance64 7,053 September 14, 2013 Share September 14, 2013 This is probably the episode that I've rewatched the least, I can count the amount of times I've seen it on one hand haha... I don't hate it though, I especially like the montage near the start. I find the song a little grating though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianpiersonjdavis 513 October 22, 2013 Share October 22, 2013 I know that it was originally meant to sound bad when it was recorded, but the song featured was not only one that I liked (which is rare, since I only watch for the characters and the stories), but it's my favorite to this day.

I mean how could she... just laugh at them. I don't think that Cheerilee would ever do anything malicious, especially to her students. I think it was just an honest mistake. She was trying to be supportive by telling them how funny they were - thinking that was what they were going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJLeeTeam 914 September 26, 2014 Share September 26, 2014 This was a decent episode. It involves the Cutie Mark Crusaders making an act for the Talent Show. My highlight for this episode was the Cutie Mark Crusaders Song. I found that song to be very funny. 1 My blog post on Starting Fresh with MLP:FiM: https://mlpforums.com/blog/2076/entry-16988-im-starting-fresh-with-mlp-fim/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
