Fame/YMMV

The movies provide examples of:

• Crowning Music of Awesome
• So Okay It's Average: How most critics have felt about the remake, especially compared to the original with its stronger social commentary.

The musical version provides examples of:

• Crowning Music of Awesome: "Fame", clearly. The full version of "Bring on Tomorrow" is another.
• Ear Worm: "FAME! I'm gonna live forever, I'm gonna learn how to fly!"
• Tear Jerker:
  • "In L.A" for Carmen.
  • "These Are My Children" for Ms. Sherman.
  • The full version of "Bring on Tomorrow" when Schlomo dedicates the performance to Carmen, who's just died of a drug overdose.
