Introduction (This is not Meant to be a Fanfic!)
Selecting the Songs
Update!!
In 2011, Kris's song, "Still Got Tonight," was released by Matthew Morrison and two additional tracks from Kris's first album were leaked - "I Don't Wanna Know" and "Love Too Much." These three songs just happen to fill the biggest holes that I was pretty sure existed in the "puzzle."
"Blindfolded" was also released in 2011 by Heinz Winckler. I feel less sure about including this song because Kris also later released it on his second album, but it fits well where I thought there was another gap that I had filled with "Come Together."
I've shifted a few other songs around a bit - the biggest changes are to "If I Had You," "Is It Over?" and "Crazy" - but I think the order now makes even more sense and better fits the criteria that I used to determine how everything went together. The cover songs left on this list are ones that I felt most confidant about being part of the opera because they were consistently part of Adam's and Kris's repertoires at the time (though "Whole Lotta Love" and "Man in the Mirror" are possibly placeholders for other unreleased songs).
