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.

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.

U know some people sound good when they do the breathy thing, coz some songs actually requrie it. but when she tries to pour that style into everything, that's where it gets messy! 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.

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?

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.

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