The song also makes it clear that Cinderella's more modern traits that are often seen only as empowering in modern films are her downfall as well. The gorgeous piano melody feels nostalgic for a time when movies and musicals were much better than they are today. The whole point of the story was that Cinderella had to leave the ball early, and the prince was surrounded by other eligible maidens who were determined to be with him, so of course they would jump at the opportunity the moment she left. This new twist complements the fairy tale. The lyrics imply that because Cinderella ran away from the ball at midnight, she freed the prince to be with another woman. "Fat Too Late" is the most heart-wrenchingly beautiful "Cinderella" song I have heard since "Tell Him Anything" from The Slipper and the Rose. GWFo6NWQ09- Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cinderella September 23, 2020 If you like what you heard on with we think you will like this. On that note, I can understand how having Cinderella be a troublemaker might be seen in a negative light, which brings me to the other song that was released on social media. Princesses are role models for girls first and foremost, so it's important that the ideas they convey are positive and not about acting out or being rebellious for no reason. As someone who was made fun of a lot in school and then targeted online several times in my later years, I wholeheartedly support this message. With lyrics like "Every insult that you utter makes me strong" and "If you think I won't ignore you, I think 'Poor you,'" it conveys an important message about not giving in to bullies and using their taunts as a form of empowerment instead of self-degradation. This is a Cinderella who knows to put up with oppressors and won't sit back and take it. If that his the intention for this song, I wish I could bring my childhood self to the future to hear it. I don't know what the target age is for this show, but ALW most likely anticipated parents bringing their children into the audience since it's based on a popular fairy tale. Not only is "Bad Cinderella" a natural progression of the "Cinderella" story for modern times, but it is also a terrific anthem for children about how to respond to bullying. Her submission to mistreatment is something that many modern versions of the story have tried to explain or correct over the years. She is surrounded by petty, selfish, and vain people who abuse her without just cause. However, where Sam is a rebel without a cause who was born into a life of privilege and a caring family,Cinderella has every reason to reject her life prior to meeting the prince. Both princesses are unhappy with the society they were born into and intentionally act out in the hopes of offending the people around them enough to embrace the revolutionary changes they want to see in the world. When you compare the Cinderella character presented in the lyrics of "Bad Cinderella" to someone like Sam from the recent Disney+ original, Secret Society for Second-Born Royals, you will find several similarities. I've written in the past about how the consistent rejection of femininity among princess content can be polarizing, but this is the first time I think that someone actually got it right. The catchy punk rock number "Bad Cinderella" presents a modern twist on the Cinderella we know and love, making her a rebel who doesn't want to dress up and become a trophy wife.
