Well, he maybe did a bad job making lyrics of LND, but he's not a bad lyricist. I think he should stick with Alan Menken than Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Well, I sure do love "I See the Light." It certainly deserved the Oscar. The lyrics that follow, "...now that I see you" flowed with Avatar's "I see you" from the year before.

Some song's lyrics were decent, even good ("Til I Hear You Sing", "Beauty Underneath"), but most were just unbelievably bad, just ridiculously bad, especially compared to other Webber musicals (I have to say, Don Black from Sunset Boulevard and Charles Hart from Phantom really set the bar high).
Despite that, I still respect Slater, since The Little Mermaid has very good lyrics. Too bad LND didn't.

LND was freaking amazing. Beneath a moonless sky breaks my heart everytime. <33

this is the guy who wrote the lyrics for Home on the Range? Menken was better off with Ashman (RIP)

i think he did a fantastic job as a lyricist myself it is incredibly hard sometime to easy but for LND the spaces he had to fill in i fell he did for the best or we would have gotten lost some where

Some of Glenn's lyrics are absolutely genius, others are horrible. He's not very consistent.
For, "Beauty Underneath", the entire song is epic! However, with other numbers, many of the lyrics just seem put there to fill space. There's no heart behind them.
I love half of him, but hate the other. He has that superb diamond analogy in the final number (which gave me goosebumps), but he also repeats "beautiful" over sixty times in a matter of minutes...

@talistur I agree.

<3 the lyrics for Beneath The Moonless Sky and My Dear Old Friend but for Once Upon Another Time, "And maybe I was wrong but now the moment's gone" - unforgivable.

I completely disagree! Mr. Slater's lyrics for LND are wonderful, okay yeah, some words he picked did not come out with the best of details but....the songs lyrics are filled with the emotions needed in such a play as this.
