"No, I do not love the groom / In my heart there is no room / But I still want him to be all mine"

Frankly this is higher than I expected an MLP song to get, and it's not even the highest of the three nominated! I do generally like the classic opposing viewpoint duet style; it usually makes for a good song and provides some much needed context, as it makes Chrysalis sound a little more sinister when you know she's not just marrying someone she doesn't like, but intentionally taking away that chance from someone who is in love.

By the way, context was absolutely needed here, as it took me like 3 listens to realize that Shining Armor was the name of a character and that she wasn't just going through the wedding to get some literal shining armor (which on first listen I assumed was some MLP object of power or royalty, like a crown or throne or something).

Both singers do decent work here. It's not like a wildly impressive or memorable song for me, but there's also not very much for me to complain about in that department. It even gives you a little characterization in displaying the queen as greedy, manipulative and power-hungry, even if it doesn't really make clear her actual motivations for doing everything. Yes, she wants Shining Armor, the horse, not the item, but why? (that's rhetorical please don't actually explain the plot of MLP to me)
