The music that they used, um to create the Moulin Rouge vibe wasn't like I thought it was gonna be timepiece stuff so I thought the music was gonna be like a lot of older like ballady you know like those type of things that it wasn't like they were doing Britney Spears Whitney Houston um Tina Turner it was a vibe but Meg Thee Sully fit right in like her energy her voice even though she's not like a singer at all but just even in her speaking role because Zillow is more of like”
