Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

(The fact Chrysalis and Cadence have the same voice actor isn't important, just a bit of fun trivia. Bob's burgers wording of previous edit implies that it is possible for all singing characters to be on the same emotional page and fit this trope (and that is not possible, at least with the current definition). Cadence is a victim of the plan, wording doesn't convey that of pony entry.)
