Talk:Once More, with Feeling (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

message: This is just a very poor page. The entire theme of it sounds like it's written by a fan. It doesn't sound remotely encyclopedic.68.154.185.125 01:07, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  -Yeah 68.154.185.125, but that's kind of the point of Wiki. If it's really bugging you, fix it : ) Eventually between all of us we'll have put up a decent, and hopefully verisimilar page. I dissagree by the way, even though this page is a work in progress... but I am a huge Buffy fan, and therefore not impartial; which is why I've been reticent to contribute myself.

68.154.185.125  I can't believe you would say that. I agree with Manuelcuribe. And btw who else coined have written it?? If you weren't a fan you wouldn't watch till season 6!! Don't be a hater. October 2016
I have the dvds as asked for above.. it is SMG singing, she isnt off key (i know shocking really sounds like she is) its just the key Joss Whedon wrote the song in, she wasnt going to sing originally but seen where the storline was going and stepped up to do it herself. Going by the extras on the dvds they all loved doing it and had a great time, Joss Whedon respected the actors who didnt really want to sing and gave them small singing parts (Alyson Hannigan and Michelle Trachtenberg, the latter loving dance and hence the dance number she performed). James Marsters loves guitar/ rock music so he incorported that as well, from the dvd commentary Whedon tried to include which talent/skills each performer had or loved. The commentary also tells of how the musical came together, in that the actors who are musically inclined went regularly to Whedons house to sing/play music and him realising how many of his actors where gifted musicians and that he could use that for an episode. He talked about doing the musical long before he actually put the episode together, in the dvds his producers even state that they thought he was joking until he turned up with a fully written script for episode 7 of season 6. Also hinton battle's dance as sweet had to be cut as he was so good and kepted adding more dance moves. The vampires and demon from the start, the street sweepers and sweets henchmen are the same dancers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.115.204.102 (talk) 07:13, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Horrible Page

message: The section 'Music' is all weird. The 'current' Willow seriously does not have stage fright, earlier in this very episode she dances in front of multiple strangers with no reluctance. Granted, the dancing was magically induced, but the argument against the lack of magically induced singing on her part is tied in to her character by the author. In short, it doesn't make sense.
And <I>The opening sequence is completely changed from its usual form, featuring a 26-second main theme whose rock and dark atmosphere was eliminated through its use of percussion in the background and a stereotypical light drum sequence at the end of the theme, similar to the conclusion of heroic classical films.</I> just seems to be complete original research. And I'm not even sure what it means. Lots42 (talk) 05:01, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The normal Rock buffy intro theme is replaced with a kinda sweeping instrumental version. Surely you've watched the episode? That is what it refers to. It's as original research as saying Giles sounds british. 
As for the Willow stage-fright thing. She admitted in earlier episodes she suffers from it, and has some instances of being afraid in-front of a crowd on a stage. Magically induced singing and dancing aside she has one audience member she cares about during that scene and isn't on a stage.--96.29.242.188 (talk) 07:14, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Music Section 

message: I took out an erroneous sentence that said that Xander and Anya sing about Monkey Trouble, and Tara and Willow sing about dinner. Xander and Anya sing about problems in their relationship that they aren't telling each other about, whereas Tara sings about the effect Willow has had on her whilst also alluding to the fact that Willow has been casting spells on her.--86.150.11.34 (talk) 06:01, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

message: :The title of the episode comes from a line sung by Sweet;
While there is a line which includes the title, is it really right to say that this is where the title "comes from"? It's a phrase that predates Buffy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidhorman (talk • contribs) 16:29, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
