Really Loud Music (The Loud House)

"Really Loud Music" is an episode of season 3 of The Loud House.

Summary
Hoping to win a song-writing contest, Luna contemplates whether she should go with a song that's true to her sound or try to make something that the whole world will love.

Why It's Just The Right Amount Of Loud

 * 1) Since this is a musical episode, the entire Loud family get a musical number, and most of them are really fun and catchy, most notably Luna's "Play it Loud!".
 * 2) * The duet sang between Lori and Leni, "Lori2Leni", is very heartwarming.
 * 3) Lynn's song, "Get Pumped!" has an epic, heroic feel to it.
 * 4) Nice story about Luna getting worried about being herself when the judges force her use to use the stage name LuLu.
 * 5) Great cameo from the Casagrandes during "The Best Thing Ever" song.
 * 6) Incredible worldbuilding.
 * 7) Uses the "be yourself" moral rather well as Luna doubts that people will like her style of music, leading to her trying to be more like the type of singers people would listen to on the radio nowadays, but ends up doing the music she likes.
 * 8) Good voice acting and animation as usual.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) Depending on your view, some of the songs can be annoying.
 * 2) * Lucy's song (if you can even call it that) is really weak as she doesn't really sing.
