Michael in the Bathroom

I was really disappointed with this arrangement. The left hand is fine, but the right hand primarily duplicates the vocal line, which is a massive pet hate of mine and is not accurate to the cast recording at all. In the recording, there are often moments when the vocal line has dotted rhythms and syncopation and sounds very cool and emotional, but it is strongly supported by the instruments mostly playing straight quavers or crotchets so it maintains the driving pop/rock feel. Some parts of the sheet music (mainly when there are no vocals) are spot on, but for most of the song there are so many other audible chords or melodies in the piano or guitar parts that could have been transcribed into the right hand line instead of focusing on copying the vocals.
