Some girls were just meant to smile

Edit: The original video has been taken down - sob - so here is a different version with the amazing Laura Bell Bundy, who was the original Elle.

This is my new obession:




Bailey Hanks as Elle Woods, singing "Legally Blonde" from the musical...uh, Legally Blonde (if you hadn't figured it out already). I am just so in love with this song. Bailey's singing perfomance is great, but her acting is quite up to par. She's a newbie to Broadway, though, so I'll let it slide.

Why am I so in love with the song? I'm not sure, actually. But I think that we can all relate to it, at some point in our lives. When we let ourselves down, when our dreams are crushed, when we give up hope. The lyrics "Some girls fight hard/some face the trial/some girls were just meant to smile" completely break my heart. I've felt like that in the past, where all I was good for was looking pretty (and even then I wasn't sure I was doing a good job of that).

I'm pretty sure I have more to say on the issue, but I'm exhausted and will have to go to bed. I just wanted to share the love. Good night, all!
