Behind the Curtain: Todrick Hall

One of the reviewers here indicated that Todrick is egotistical and narcissistic for producing his documentary 'Behind the Curtain'. The very thing he sees as a fault is why I admire him. I ran across his 'Greatest Showman' video after watching the movie. I was VERY impressed and felt it portrayed the spirit and passion of the songs superbly. It took me several weeks more to look up this artist. He had just released 'Forbidden' and I fell in love with him as a performer.

Why had I not heard of him before? I know more than I want to know about Cardi B and I've yet to see a full length video of hers. What I do know is that she is making some serious change on what I think is subpar talent (my own opinion). While Todrick is struggling to write and produce his visual album as well as put on a tour on what appears to be mostly on his own dime.

He is wildly talented, and a self-made success of mostly his own means. It sounds like he self-publishes his own content and doesn't have a record company to back him. Why? Why would a obviously talent like Todrick have to do everything himself? Because he is deemed unmarketable by corporate record companies. If they can't put him in certain profitable niches, then they want no parts of him. Other than mostly Broadway interviewers, I have not found any music related publications doing reviews of his music.

He is invisible to a certain degree. He said this over and over again and even wrote about it in 'Dumb'. He's created all of his own content thus far, so why wouldn't he advocate for his own projects? Why wouldn't he want people to know more about him and what he believes in and want to be a part of his music? It's a no brainier. If you can't advocate for yourself nobody will.

Todrick Hall is one of my favorite YouTubers so I had to see his documentary. It was so entertaining and fun and it showed all the challenge and struggles he faced trying to make his album and when he went on tour. He is such a hard worker and you see that in this documentary. He is so inspiring and he encourages so many people to be themselves and to never let bully's take you down. I love his Straight Outta Oz album and the video he made for it on YouTube. It's so creative and inspiring. I would definitely recommend watching this documentary if you're a fan of his.

Such an ambitious project Todrick embarked on. It all looked so chaotic and I would definitely stay out of his way, kinda like the path of a tornado. But when it's Showtime and the red curtains fall, the show glittered brighter than those ruby slippers.

Respect and love, that is what I felt watching this documentary.

No matter what color or gender, you just 'have to' love him.

I only watched it because it was the last day it was on Netflix but it spinnen my head.

He has way to much energy and ideas to just play a role on Broadway. He should be directing it.

Even if it will never thinkable to physically love him, the world and for sure the USA would be a lot more livable.

Todrick truly gives his fans, which are known as Toddlerz, an inside look into his creative process and how he brings his ideas to life. You see happy moments, stressful moments, and some crisis moments. It's amazing to see how Todrick can pull an album and a tour together so fast, it's just incredible. He directed, starred in, danced in and sang in every song and video. If you want to know what talent truly is, watch this documentary and see how talented Todrick is! I went to North Carolina, from Philadelphia PA to see it with some of my best friends, that I've met because of Todrick, and we laughed, cried, and sang along the whole way through!

If you think you know how creative and talented Todrick Hall is or want to get to know him, watch this documentary! You'll be even more impressed and fall in love with him!

You will not be disappointed!!
