Ever After..


        The time has come to dicuss the fantastic, John Cozart. This dude is a genius. He not only is a very skilled singer but he writes his own parodies and original songs. The first time I ever heard about the Ever After melody, I was in love. John had not only presented the princesses in a new way but he had made their stories seem as nightmares.
         The first Disney princess tackled in this parody is Ariel. Now Ariel is a mermaid who got everything she wanted, feet, freedom, and a prince. Everyone assumes that she like the other princesses is living happily ever after, but Cozart has a different idea. He sings as Ariel talking about how her life took a turn for the worst. BP or British Pertrolium, has now polluted her land and her friends have been eaten by asians. He sings in a very sarcastic and witty tone before moving on the Jasmine.
         Jasmine being an arabic princess sings about how she and Aladdin have been mistaken for terroists. Jasmine is confused as to where Aladdin is even been taken. She is by herself and in hiding. Jasmine talks about the CIA and how her husband is not a trained pilot. Which is an allusion to Al Queda. After the terrorism we move into a domestic abuse case.
          Belle, who was previously talked about, is now without her "Beast." He was taken by PETA, an animal rights activist group. Which when you really think about it doesn't make sense because he was turned back into a human after the fight with Gaston. Anyway Cozart makes a joke about how she is being accused of Beastiality. So really this is more modern than the time it was supposed to take part in. Pocahontas is a whole new different kind of sad though.
          Pocahontas' whole rant is about how John Smith left her and settlers moved in. She talks about STDs and disease. Which settlers brought from Europe when they inhabited the American lands. She is now a savage who kills whoever she needs to in order to protect herself. I find this rather comical because her story has real historical relevance. This issue actually arose in the difficult migration to America.
           John Cozart, whether you look at him as a sick individual or a crazy genius, he has created a very sucessful YouTube video. Personally, he is one of my favorite YouTubers. Many would say he has crushed little kids dream but in reality he has just influenced great minds. His other works are stories sung in 99 seconds. Please go enjoy his videos.
