I… really want Frozen III to bring back the duets
For The First Time In Forever and the Reprise were some of my favourite shit from Frozen I and it's absent in Frozen II
I don't really care what people think of Frozen II story-wise but I think the Lopezes overall did generally improve when it came to solo songs, though Let It Go is still an earworm, yet the duets were notably… not there in Frozen II. No, Into The Unknown does not count, neither does Show Yourself, because those are both vocalisations in pair with singing, that's not duet. The closest thing to a duet was Lost In The Woods and that's Kristoff having schizophrenia. I wouldn't count Some Things Never Change either because the overlapping lyrics are mainly ensemble, not duet.
We did nearly have a duet with Get This Right but that was cut from the film. Saccharine as Love Is An Open Door is meant to be, I want Kristoff and Anna to have a duet like that at the beginning of Frozen III, but way better.
But For The First Time In Forever and the Reprise have my favourite duet lyrics because of the counterpoint:
For The First Time In Forever
For the first time in forever / Don't let them in
I'm getting what I'm dreaming of / Be the perfect girl you always have to be
A chance to change my lonely world / Conceal
A chance to find true love / Conceal don't feel, don't let them
I know it all ends tomorrow, so it has to be today! / Know!
For The First Time In Forever: Reprise
I'm such a fool, I can't be free! / You don't have to be afraid
No escape from the storm inside of me / We can work this out together
I can't control the curse! / We'll reverse the storm you made
Oh, oh, oh
Anna, please, you'll only make it worse!
Don't panic / There's so much fear!
We'll make the sun shine bright / You're not safe here!
We can face this thing together / No
We can change this winter weather
And everything will be alright
THAT SHIT WAS PEAK! For The First Time In Forever perfectly illustrates the differences in the sisters, why the fuck am I speaking so formal, because Anna is so excited about what's happening because it's Coronation Day and Elsa is just focused on her anxiety the whole time and what I really love about the Reprise is the fact that Elsa really does feel like she's having a mental breakdown and she's visibly spiraling as Anna tries to help her and that's so fucking cool.
