I totally agree, that's what I was pretty much saying. |

Sure; if the song's made to be sung that way, it's fine. The problem is, most of the Disney songs weren't made to be sung that way. |

If a movie can inspire that much, then the filmmakers have done their job right. It's like this guy I met once and he admitted to loving the movie "The Princess Bride", because he related so much with Indigo (the Spaniard). He told that his father was murdered when he was young and so when he watches the scene where Indigo finally engages combat with the six-fingered man and finally kills him, he sees himself in that scene, demanding his father's murderer that he give his father back.
A big commercial success or a cult hit, when a movie invokes such emotion like this, that clinches its status as a classic. |

Did anyone else love the part when they spoke about the man who wrote them a letter informing them about how he fixed his relationship with his daughter after watching the movie? |

Althought if we're talking about remakes, I liked the Disney Circle of Stars remake of a "A dream is a wish" from Cinderella. Simply because even though they made it up tempo, it still sounded nice and the melody was still there. |

Actually, Simpson's voice doesn't sound altogether too bad to me. Overall, I think it's one of the better pop versions I've heard. As far as really bad goes, I think Skye Sweetnam's version takes the cake here. Especially when it gets to the "walking around on those what do you call them *grunt* feet" part. |

Aw, man, I notice that all the time. It's like they think they have to sound 'sensuous' to sell the song. Disney songs should not be sensuous! Especially not songs with words like "gadgets" and "whoozits".
Though, to be fair, I've heard worse breathiness. Simpson just sounds like she's gasping -- some of them sound like they're trying to whisper the whole thing. |

Do you mean that stupid breathy effect she does to her voice now? Jessica Simpson is a great singer. Or at least she used to be with her older songs and her old style. But now you can hardly hear what she sings. She just sounds like she's not breathing properly. |
That is EXACTLY what I'm talking about . I'm glad someone else noticed that because no one believes me. She really can sing, but then she started doing that huffy sex pop kitten thing and it sounds terrible. I guess that's what happens when the media gets ahold of you. |

I do give Jessica Simpson that much credit, yes. She did do ok with her part, even if you don't like how she sings. Not OMG FABULOUS, but if she wasn't trying to make the song sound....sexy? It would have been better. I just keep reminding myself the remake WAS supposed to be by the Disney channel circle of Stars and all is well again |

I think she did okay with a whole new world. Even though I really don't like how she sings she did okay in the aladdin dvd. When I compare the aladdin dvd to the TLM. On the aladdin one they put so much more effort into it. |

Jessica Simpson should not sing Disney songs. There should be a rule against it. |

I haven't gotten my copy of LM yet, but even if I did, I wouldn't be able to see it until the end of the month, since I had it shipped to my dad's.
I swear, I almost screamed when I looked at the track listing for that special edition CD, and saw all the remakes, but especially that Jessica Simpson redid Part of Your World.
I heard a remake of Part of Your World on a myspace music profile, and they totally slaughtered it. That song wasn't meant to have a fast tempo. That destroys the whole mood of the song.
