Some scenes would especially be repetitive that would lost the interest of some viewers. Some challenges would be making it unique that allows it to stand out from other musicals.

When giving a description of Miles Davis record Bitches Brew, All My Life used subjective descriptions to sway buyers to purchase the record.
