''At All Costs'' - Wish
As I promised I continue judging songs from the upcoming Disney musical ''Wish''. I have to be honest. I don't like any previous songs and the movie from all the spoilers looks to be trash not for me. But this song is beautiful. This is the only song from the movie I listened on repeat because I enjoy it. But it's not without its problems.
youtube
''Pulling me in, as some kind of wind''. Wind is usually associated with pushing you away or in a direction you want to go. Depending which way it blows. Not pulling. Wouldn't it make more sense to use the word ''gravity'', with all the other space lingo in other songs?
Who are they singing to? Because it's a duet and I can't see any visuals it sounds like a romantic duet they singing to each other. Or maybe father singing to his daughter. Please don't explain how they are singing to a wish or something. I already figured it out. I doubt Disney is that deprived they would show a love song between a 17 year old woman and a much older man who looks like he can be her dad. But imagine you know nothing about the movie and its plot. Just listen to the lyrics, without any visuals and guess what the song is about.
It looks to me like they've wrote a song for Asha and Star-Boy but when they changed his character they couldn't use the song. But they also didn't want to get rid of it because they also probably know it's their best song.
''What other male characters we have?''
''We have Valentino.''
''We won't give such emotional song to the ''funny'' pet sidekick. People will make jokes about our strong female character for little girls being . . . What's the word again? . . . A FURRY! You saw what they did to Bell? No more! We have Zootopia 2 for them.'' Person who wrote ''low voice'' joke for Valentino sweating bullets.
''Asha's friends?''
''No! No romance allowed. It's sexism!'' Screamed a diversity haired feminist without a man but with 3 cats.
''And They already have a song.''
''Maybe grandpa? He's a musician. Or her dad. Better yet, make it like an overarching theme of the movie. Song sang in the family for generations.'' Said the only person with a brain in the room.
''Nah! That would make too much sense. Let's get Chris Pine to sing it. We already are paying for him.''
''Yes!'' Screamed the executives and all the people thirsting over Chris Pine. The only person with a brain shakes their head.

Stray AU | How it started...
Agustín was always aware of Alma Madrigal’s disapproval of him long before his marriage to her daughter but despite the woman’s attempts to keep them separate, the two still fell in love and eventually married.
Of course, being married to Julieta came with handing his in-laws ire close hand and snide remarks, even when it was blatantly obvious of her favouritism towards Felix. He took his’s wife’s last name in both to the family’s high standing position in Encanto, but also in part to appease Abuela.
Both Felix and Bruno did their best to shield Agustín from the worse, like trying to hide and/or fix a few things Agustín accidently broke or trip over.
Life got a little easier when Julieta fell pregnant with Isabela, Alma’s desire of grandchildren had been fulfilled enough for her to enjoy the novelty of it; keeping her in a good mood. As a good husband, Agustín did everything to make sure Julieta was comfortable and was the first to hold his new born daughter after Julieta.
Of course, the difficulties of raising a baby, under the strict gaze of Abuela returned the remarks and criticism of his raising skills. It wasn’t until after Abuela tried taking Isabela from his arms when he did something she didn’t like; that he shouldn’t be holding a baby that he told Julieta.
Julieta was swift to stop her mother from that, threatening to move in with Agustín’s parents if Abuela was going to control Agustín’s time with his daughter. Abuela backed off but Agustín knew it wouldn’t be for too long.
Fortunately, Pepa gave birth to Dolores which changed Abuela’s attention now to the newest addition to the family and lessened the burden on his shoulders.
When Isabela was turning 3, Julieta fell pregnant again and gave birth to a tiny baby girl, Luisa. It was no mistake that Luisa was a daddy’s girl, he spent her few weeks with her on his chest, letting Julieta sleep as he settled the baby and convincing Isabela to be gentle with her new sister.
After Isabela got her gift, things got more interesting for Agustín to handle his eldest daughter, letting her make flowers and cactuses alike, despite injuries from the latter. He did his best to encourage his daughter to play and experiment with what she could do, not knowing Abuela was trying to get Isabela to be more refined with flowers.
When Luisa was three, he was walking her back to Casita after dealing with a minor trip incident they were in to get her an Arepa to help the sniffling tot. It wasn’t the first time, but Agustín always shielding his daughters on the rare occasion but he always feared when it happened. Abuela found him and Luisa healing up and decided to confront him on both interfering with Isabela’s gift and that he was hurting the family with his accident-prone nature.
The argument was cut short quickly by Dolores who also wanted snack with very…convenient timing which delayed the argument that Agustín knew was coming when the next time they were alone together
It took two weeks for that to happen.
Abuela had formed an ultimatum for Agustín; comply with her demands or leave the family. Agustín stood his ground on the matter; he knew he’d have his wife on his side and he was in denial that the woman would be so cruel to him and his family.
But Abuela threatened to not allow Luisa her gift ceremony and would plant rumours that Isabela was a product of an affair; a threat that would threaten Julieta’s reputation. Especially as Isabela inherited more from her mother’s side of the family than his; Isabela didn’t ‘look’ enough like him to convince others that she was truly his if that rumour got out. Was he willing to ruin the reputation of their family even more? Abuela gave him a day to go, compliance off the table with his resistance at her first offer.
So he did.
He knew he couldn’t stay in Encanto where he would be found, he’d have to leave his parents and sister too so he knew he couldn’t stay with them.
He spent one more night with his wife, enjoying that the best he good before he slipped from his room with a goodbye and an apology note on their pillow; knowing better than to admit the truth as Abuela could still ruin his family’s life in his absence.
He didn’t want that.
He had already prepared a bag of clothes, camping gear and set out into the jungles; he had planned to circle back and find a place to hide, Bruno had mentioned a hiding space within the walls. Abuela watched him leave; making sure that Casita wouldn’t let him in again if he tried.
Things of course weren’t as simple as setting out into the jungle and hopes of navigating well. Agustín got lost from his initial plan before he found himself staring down at a large female Jaguar.
Agustín knew how to escape; slowly backing off, not holding eye contact and doing his best to make sure not to be seen as a challenge or as prey in the process. This almost worked but the appearance of a portal opening up triggered the jaguar to attack.
Hallow Pepa scared the animal off with a sharp blast of air but the injuries Agustín gained was bad; rather than leave him to die and without any of Watcher Julieta’s food on her, she and Watcher took him to their AU, leaving behind blooded clothes and his main bag behind. Not knowing what the assumption would be drawn when it was found, not knowing Julieta was pregnant with his baby...
Agustín received medical attention but opted to keep a few of the scars, which as the claw marks down his jaw and chest as a reminder of his AU.
This AU was heavily inspired by @toaverse’s AU of Agustín leaving AU, with my own personal twist. Please check out their amazing content and AUs, they all look amazing.
This is an overview of the AU, I do intend to do drabbles to fully dive in with this but that will take time to write up. Do I like tearing madrigals apart yes but putting the broken pieces of others together is somewhat of a comfort...right?

Moon Knight Mirabel AU! CW for a quick mention of blood at the beginning.
I did almost forget about this prompt... 😬 @toaverse’s original outline is here. My exploratory notes are here (why a puma?). The drabble’s meant to parallel the proposal dinner scene in some ways. Also, the Madrigals are Jewish because Marc Spector is.
...
Mirabel’s day was moving along without much of a hitch. Until, that is, she blacked out and her mamá found her lying facedown in the grass, scratched and bleeding fingers wrapped around that darned gold-worked puma head she can’t seem to get rid of.
And now the teen is standing in front of the entire family (at her own insistence, because ugh, she figured it’s time they all know, you know?), taking a gulp of air before spilling her secret.
“You... might be wondering why I’ve been passing out and missing important dates lately; well, it turns out I’ve been hearing voices, like actual voices, though it’s really just the one voice, but like another voice, as in mine, plus one. What I’m trying to say is that the voices and this gold puma ornament are connected, along with the fact that I wake up not remembering what happened before I woke up, and what I mean is that... I’m pretty sure I’m possessed by a puma god?”
Everyone’s gaping at her. Not because they couldn’t keep pace with her rapid-fire confession or the animated hand movements that accompanied it. Possession, and by a god (little g)? Isn’t exactly kosher. (There’s also the rumor behind Tío Bruno’s disappearance, after all.)
They continue to stare until Camilo breaks in: “You got the raw deal, Mira.” His father shoots him a Look.
Still, the teen’s words are enough to shake some of the other family members into motion and a din of overlapping voices, which they reduce for Dolores’ sake as well as Pepa’s.
Soon enough, Alma is raising her hand for order, even while simultaneously wondering if they’ll need to involve the Encanto’s rabbi for further guidance. Julieta and Agustín keep making their way toward their youngest daughter, concern frozen on all three of their faces. But to Mirabel’s dawning horror, her parents’ forms start to swim in and out of focus, like they themselves are leaping forward and backward with each stuttering throb of her vision.
Not now, she thinks, as she fades to the sound of her mamá shouting her name.

I was thinking a Tangled-inspired au with the Wish characters might be interesting. Maybe the Star Boy would be born as a result of a wishing star falling to earth, and then Magnifico decides to raise him but keeps him as isolated as possible so he can use the star's magic to boost his own powers.
Oh nice!
At night, when the kingdom of Rosas slept, a star fell from the sky. But any kind of star. No, that star was a magical baby being send down to earth.
The king of Rosas, Magnifico, noticed something shining the next evening, and decided to check it out.
He found the star baby, and immediately figured out that the infant had some kind of power. Maybe powers he could use...
So, Magnifico took the infant in, but not in the castle.
The king put the infant in a tower a small distance away from the castle, and raised him there in secret.
Not even Amaya, the king's wife and queen of Rosas, knew of the star child's existence...
For 18 years, Magnifico raised the boy, who he named Astar, in that tower, in the hopes that the kid's power could be useful to him the kingdom.
The boy knew no one outside of his "father". He never went outside because father said the outside was a dangerous place. His only companion was his adorable star animal who he named Star.
Astar lived in that tower for 18 years, until a strange girl suddenly broke into the tower...

This Wish (Reprise) - Wish
Spoilers for the ending of Wish.
For people who'll go ''This is just a reprise. It's not that important. It doesn't have to be good.'' listen to some older Disney reprises and how awesome they are. This one is just lame. And it's not some ending song after the battle is won. This song is what defeats the villain. I'm not kidding. The movie pulls ''Equestria Girls:Rainbow Rocks''. But it makes less sense and as I mentioned before music isn't as good. Alright, so technically it's the power of wishes that makes Star break free and blast Magnifico. Even ignoring the nonsensical climax the song is still bad.
youtube
It's constantly being interrupted by ''du dum'' . Nothing flows.
It goes for way too long! It's supposed to be a reprise but is almost 3 minutes long!
How do citizens of Rosas know this song? Usually in Disney classics the reprise is song by a heavenly choir off screen.
It's not as grand as it could've been. Singers don't sound invested at all. My family has more energy when singing ''Happy Birthday''.
And ''the way you always taught us'' are they referring to Magnifico? Asha's dad? God? Star? Who?
This whole scene is cringe and completely misrepresents what classic Disney movies used to be. In the past the main character had to fight the bad guy and struggle. They didn't just sing a song to win the day.
This song, this movie, this ending is an insult to classic Disney, animation, music and reprises.

''This Is The Thanks I Get?!'' - Wish
''This is the thanks I get?!'' is the movie's villain song. I'm going to be honest. Out of all the songs so far this is my favorite. But from what I saw it's also the one with the most dislikes. My best guess is that people were excited and had high expectations about the new villain song since the last one was ''Shiny'' from Moana, 7 YEARS AGO! What also probably upset people is that despite being a ''Disney villain song'' it lacks a lot of the same punch. It's trying to be like ''Mother Knows Beast'' where the villain is being manipulative and tries to pass of as the good guy. I'm going to judge the song for what it is, not for what I wish (wink wink) it would be. Just a heads up, it does pretty poorly.
youtube
The song is very repetitive with the ''this is the thanks I get'' being sang over and over. It's a rule at this point that the name of the song will be repeated many times in the song or that it will be named after whatever is repeated in the song the most, whichever comes first. But a whole freaking chorus?! At least Chris Pine sings it a bit differently each time.
Speaking of annoying repetition, the whole ''tu tu tu'' is driving me crazy. I mentioned it in one of my previous posts that I hate when writers put some sounds for singer to sing because they couldn't be bothered to come up with real words to put into their song. It's lazy and feels like padding. It's not a song in a club that you can bob your head to. It's a song in a musical. Tell a story! Unlike Chris Pine singing ''this is the thanks I get'' differently every time, ''tu tu tu'' is sang always the same. And lastly, who the hell is singing that part? Just because it's a musical it doesn't mean that singing comes out of nowhere. Usually the bad guy sings solo or with his/her minions.
Awkward modern talk that is showing up in all the songs. Examples include ''rent free'' and ''prob''. This is supposed to be a medieval kingdom. I don't expect them to speak like Shakespeare but come on! It sounds so cringe and will age the movie like milk.
Contradiction! Magnifico granted 14 wishes last year but Asha in ''Welcome to Rosas'' said he grants one wish every month. Does a year in Rosas has 14 months? How did no one noticed that?
Another problem I found with the song is how it's less singing and more talking rhythmically.
There's a moment in the song when Magnifico starts going crazy evil and you might get excited about how the song might progress but it's interrupted with ''Where was I'' because we were getting too serious, so we interrupt it with MCU like joke. After that the song goes back to its previous monotone rhythm.
The song tries to build up some excitement again with evil high strings and Magnifico screaming (which sounds good) and a cheesy echo but it's too late. They had an awesome build up and squandered it. There is no walking it back.
This is the problem with all those songs. There seems to be beginnings and endings to those songs but for the most part they just meander around in the same tone, tempo, instruments and every time something resembling a build up or a change of pace occurs it's right back to how it was sang before.
It's a boring repetitive song just like all the others but is the most hated because people had high hopes for it. But to be fair, I don't think a villain song that sounds actually evil is too demanding. Especially when people were very clear about what they want for years.

''I'm a star'' - Wish
This is a part to my previous post. You don't have to watch the previous and the upcoming post to understand this one. I'm making a post about each song from the movie Wish and going into detail as to why I think they're ''not good'' to say the least. I'm not saying that singer or the music is terrible. I'm focusing on everything wrong with the lyrics. If you're able to enjoy a song because it sounds nice that's fine. But because Wish is a musical the purpose of a song is to help tell the story. Of the lyrics are confusing and contradicting the plot will suffer.
youtube
1. Valentino is contradicting himself. One moment he sings that he knew the entire time and joins in explaining that we're all stars but there are moments when he's as confused as Asha.
2. A butt joke + Lion King reference.
3. Those are North American/USA native animals and with how small the island is I'm not sure it would be able to house so many animals. It's a callback to how in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs animators used animals they knew, like racoons. Even tho they shouldn't be in Europe, especially when Americas haven't been discovered yet.
4. They want to superficially be ''like the movies from the past'' but it actually shows how out of touch those filmmakers are that they don't know what made those classic movies special. Animals who fallowed Snow White, Cinderella and Aurora were their friends because they were so kind. Are those animals Asha's friends or just random animals that decided to sing exposition at her?
5. I also hate ''Get that through your system!'' ''Solar!''. It doesn't work! It's a ''solar system'' not ''system solar''! He should have interrupted earlier. Yet again, modern talk and trying to sound cool. How do those animals know so much about space and have modern scientific lingo for it?
6. ''And If you just see the mushrooms than you'll understand'' What does that mean? That we need to look to nature for answers? Is Asha high? Those mushrooms are creepy!
7. ''We eat the leaves and they eat the Sun'' (While showing the Moon because the song is at night. I guess the Moon is reflecting Sun's light but it's still contrived.) It's too confusing for small children and too simplistic for adults (or rather anyone who is knowledgeable about space and biology). Mice aren't little pure vegetarians. ''They eat the Sun'' because photosynthesis. I get what the song is trying to say but it's so clunky.
8. Just awkward things that are supposed to be funny. A bear with a gay lisp going ''YeaS''. That one stupid/high dear the goes ''You're a star.'' I understand using different voices for differentiate characters to show their characters and emotions but it doesn't work because it's the first time we see those characters, so it comes out of nowhere. Compare it to how different soldiers sang in ''I'll make a man out of you''.
9. ''If I'm explaining it poorly, I'll let Star do it for me'' again it's like ''It's unlikely that you'll be unhappy''. What's with the lack of confidence in their writing!?! It's as if the writers know this song doesn't explain anything.
10. Also, in a good song ''I'll let Star do it for me'' would be a transition into the Star singing but because Star is mute and can only use sound effects she doesn't sing. What's the point? Star doesn't explain anything!
I have a theory. A FILM THEORY!
For those who don't know, in an early concept art, Star was supposed to be a boy. But not any average boy able to talk. He was supposed to be shapeshifting spirit and a young version of Ash's grandfather. They supposedly changed him from a boy into a star from Mario because he resembled genie too much.
That explains the weirdness of the song. It was probably supposed to be him shapeshifting, making voices and that's why the animals know so much about space. It was supposed to be him singing. And after ''Let the Star do it for me'' he would star singing.
But I think that change goes deeper than that. He so clearly was changed from a human to a literal star so it can be another cute marketable thing besides Valentino. They can't say it outright so they make excuses. They could've made him mute, use sound effects and body language.
I think they also changed star from a boy into a cute sidekick, so people wouldn't think it's a romance movie because . . . sexism. I understand not all stories need a romance plot or subplot but it has been over 10 years since the last romance in Frozen and even longer since a good romance in Tangled.
One other reason I think they changed star from Asha's grandpa spirit into a cute sidekick because it was supposed to be a twist. And Disney learning the wrong lesson decided that ''twists are bad''. Completely omitting that the bad writing is the problem.
Also, we know internet. If the trailer dropped showing some cute and emotional moments between Asha and Star (her young grandfather) without reviling they're actually related because that would spoil the twist, people would start shipping them. And then the twist would come out. That would be awkward to say the least.

''This Wish'' - Wish
''This Wish'' is supposed to be the big ''I want song''. This song is supposed to be the most important to the plot because thanks to it the Star is supposed to come dawn and help Asha. It's supposed to be emotional, grand and with some real bars, as people say now. Did it deliver?
youtube
The beginning is quite nice but then it gets to ''But when I speak they tell me ''Sit down''''. It's a small thing but you already have a disconnection. If someone tells you to stop talking shouldn't they say ''Shut up'' or ''Be quiet''. What if she was talking while sitting down? It's a small thing but it does a lot. And those small things will be pulling up.
''This is where we've been but it's not where we belong''. I guess it's good than that you've been there and aren't anymore, right? Wouldn't it make more sense to write ''this is there we are'' or something? Is the person writing those songs not a native English speaker? I'm not and even I can tell it's wrong.
''Threw caution at every warning sign''. Don't you mean ''threw caution to the wind''? It also paints Asha as a careless idiot. An obvious warning? Evidence that something might be bad and dangerous. Fuck it! I threw all logic out the window. I get what they're trying to say but it's just so awkward. It's a problem with practically every song and every bar of text but I'm bringing attention to the biggest offenders.
''Than let me be the first to stand in line''. This is supposed to be powerful, inspiring and her great challenge? Standing in the line as if she's in a supermarket? Couldn't come up with anything better? All tho standing in line in Disney parks might be a bigger challenge now that we know what's going on there. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look it up while not eating.
''So I make this wish for us to have something more for us than this'' is very specific (sarcasm). Asha really doesn't know what she wants. Or the writer really took the ''I want more'' song a took it literally. I wonder if they made it that way because they knew the song would be in the trailer and anything more descriptive would spoil the movie.
''I never knew I needed room to grow'' Are you stupid Asha? Obviously you need room to grow physically but metaphysically as a character you don't need room. Is your brain so small you can't fit more than one though there? What does it have to do with anything? What the fuck is this lyric?
''I did what I was told when someone told me ''No'' '' Why ad no? When someone tells you ''no'' it's usually in a ''No, don't do it.'' How does it make sense in the rest of the movie? She was Magnifico's apprentice for not even a one day, right? Who was ''always'' telling her ''no''? Her friends? Family? I think when parents tell you ''Don't play with a knife or don't jump on your head into a shallow water.'' they have a point.
''Now I got this freedom in my bones, but I have a lid on, so it doesn't overflow'' What the fuck? I can't unsee the image of Asha with a pot lid on her head. And anyone who's ever cooked knows that lids will not stop overflowing. If something is about to overflow and you put a lid on it will just explode.
''I'm past tipping my toes in but no, I'm not past diving in'' Again this symbolic and allegorical writing to say the most obvious things. The song is wasting time. Using whole paragraphs to say something that can be done with one simple phrase just to be different. It's so pretentious and ''I'm 14 and it's deep''. The song is almost over and it's keep building up.
''The way you always taught me to'' For those who don't know Asha is speaking about her dead father (because ''classic Disney''). In the concept for the movie it was supposed to be her grandfather but now he lives in the movie. At first the Star was supposed to be the spirit of her grandfather that comes to help her but now it's just a random star. So she sings a song to a star, than she slips and sings to her dead dad, and Star answers. Is it the spirit of her father? It seems like a leftover with far less emotional impact now. You can't just pick random things from your old story willy nilly expecting it to fit with the new one.
Random vocals repeating what she sang.
The ending is so lackluster. Remember when at the end of the songs characters would hold long notes?
The whole feel of the song is just wrong. Asha is making a Wish because she feels powerless. But then she sings about growing, being motivated and doing whatever it takes, which is fine. But it feels like they smashed two songs together ''I can go the distance'' and ''I'm wishing'', not in terms of music, lyrics and visuals but in what they're singing about. I think it's possible for the two to work together. The plot of movie seems to at least partly about working for your wish but the execution was bad.
I also don't like when people ''whale'' in their songs. When they constantly go ''yeah yeah'', ''oh oh'', ''ah ah'' etc, it feels like padding because the writer couldn't be bothered to come up with actual lyrics.
In short, ''This Wish'' is a very boring and bland song both in terms of music and lyrics and only thing stopping you from falling asleep are those awkward moments which your brains tries to make sense off.

''Welcome To Rosas'' - Wish
I recently have been talking with a friend about the songs in the upcoming movie Wish and how we're not impressed by them.
Judging by other people's reaction we're not alone. I want you to know I'm not a professional, so I might not have a good enough vocabulary to express what I mean but I'll do my best.
And to people who will go ''You can't judge it! You're not a professional critic, what do you know? This movie is for kids!'' I would like you to look at all the kids movies with far better soundtracks (like all of Disney from the 90s). Somebody has to bring the kids to the movies and I'm not going to sit through the whole movie if the writing is as terrible as the writing in the songs. I'm just going play my Hercules DVD for my nephews.
I would also like to say that I don't know how to fly a helicopter but I know that it shouldn't be in a tree upside down. (If you get this reference, good for you.)
Let's get to the songs shall we? Let's star with the welcoming song!
youtube
At first she sings about mundane things that you can do without magic like dancing on beat and having long hair and then she drops that you can wish to go to outer space! How?! Did Magnifico do that? Is the person back and alive? The whiplash is so jarring! I guess it's a connection between cosmos and stars and it was supposed to rhyme. There's more to song writing than making it sound nice and words rhyming!
There's also ''place full of surprise''. Shouldn't it be ''surprises''? Do they have only one surprise?
And the usage of the word ''collide''. ''Collide'' implies something sudden, dangerous and unpleasant. I guess it's another attempt at using ''space'' lingo. ''Combine'' would've been much more natural.
Her going ''so like'' is very annoying. Is she Shaggy or some valley girl? It completely stops the flow of the song and restarts right after. What's the point? Is it supposed to be funny?
The visuals accompanying the song are so boring. I already mentioned a few but there's more: walking on stilts, playing on the ceramics like they're drums, playing with birds, a toy pinwheel, more dancing and rose petals from the sky. None of it is magical and I guess that might be the point but it doesn't change the fact that it's not shown in an entertaining manner. Cinderella singing while washing the stairs and bubbles has more artistic value and creativity!
Also, Disney is getting lazy with the same character model just color swapped. It was noticeable in Frozen during the ballroom scene and now I saw the same characters multiple times in many parts of the movie.
The clunky exposition about King Magnifico and his magic. I have to jump ahead to the villain song in which he sings ''I granted 14 wishes last year!'' but in this song Asha sings how he grants one wish a month. Does a year in Rosas have 14 months?
The part of ''Welcome to Rosas'' that goes ''it is unlikely that you'll be unhappy'' annoys me to no end. This is supposed to charm people? Imagine if Genie sang ''You probably never had a friend like me.'' or if Ariel sang ''I think I would like to see your world''.
Is there anything that you disliked about the song but I didn't mentioned? Feel free to tell. And if your defense for the song is ''It sounds nice.'' this isn't what I'm talking about. We're criticizing the lyrics and how you can't enjoy the pretty music because the awkward writing makes my brain stop and ask ''What did you just say? That doesn't sound right.''.

''Knowing What I Know Now'' - Wish
I don't have much to say about this song. It's fine. The lyrics aren't as nonsensical, confusing or annoying as many previous songs. It's less monotone because there's many different voices singing. But there still ways things can be improved.
youtube
''Wait till they hear our feet go Dun Dun Dun'' It completely kills the seriousness of the moment. Making them look less like revolutionaries and more like children having a temper tantrum. I would also change ''they'' to ''he''. It's Magnifico you have a problem with. Citizens of Rosas did nothing to them.
I don't like how the song stops to just have them make noises.
''Now I'm something else'' Very descriptive. Couldn't come up with a word? There are things called dictionaries if you can't find a right word.
It's not about the song but the visuals. Why is there a silhouette of Simon if he's not in the scene and doesn't sing. Did Disney think we won't notice?
Special thanks to toaverse for discussing Wish with me.

what about an au where asha is the adopted daughter of magnifico and amaya?
This solves so many problems, holy moly.
For as long as they rule Rosas, Magnifico and Amaya tried to conceive a child, an heir that will rule once they're gone.
But after many years, the couple still didn't have a child, let alone expecting one.
And to make matters worse, Magnifico's good friend Tomás and his wife Sakina pass away in an accident, leaving behind their one year old daughter.
With Sabino clearly too old to raise the girl alone, Magnifico and Amaya decide to take the child in and raise her as their own. With Sabino present, of course.
It was something getting used to, and some days weren’t that easy, but the royal couple were happy to finally experience the joy of raising a child, an heir who’ll take the throne someday.

Alright!
The people of Rosas had it pretty good. So good that they became numb to the king’s generosity, and mad when the king didn’t grand their selfish wishes.
They become spoiled, if you will.
One girl, Asha, took it to another level when she wished upon a star, wishing for more than what they have.
That lead to a star being pulled down from the sky.
But it would be King Magnifico who discovers that star. A star who turns out to be a boy with magic powers.
At first, Magnifico wants to send him back wherever he came from.
But when the boy displays magic that’s able to grand wishes willy nilly, the king decided to teach him the responsibility that comes with such magic, wanting to avoid chaos.
