Aladdin Central Messageboard

YAY! My first poll!

Well, besides the early scrapped songs about Aladdin's three buds and the Genie's freedom, which of these four deleted songs do you wish had been in the movie fuhdaheckofit?

I picked Why Me? b/c I just cracked up watching it.

Proud of Your Boy was very beautimous, but I hate the idead of Aladdin having a mother, so meh.

Same here.

Jafar needs a song and "Why Me" was my favorite of the two.

Why Me, because it's the only one that really works in the story as it is, except for You Can Count on Me, which IMO is really boring. Razz

But I like COM and POYB too.

They are both very lovely songs.

I'm a fan of You Can Count on Me... I'm not sure why, I just really like the tune. Smile

I chose Why Me. I think Jafar could have used a longer song, though the reprise for Prince Ali was good.

You Can Count On Me is a great song, but it was kind of boring for me at first. It was more of an acquired taste for me. I thought the One Jump Ahead reprise was fine.

Wow...I just listened to Call Me A Princess for the first time and I must say that I am glad it never made it into the movie. The lyrics are sooo wrong. Razz

I think everyone would have hated Jasmine if they left that song in. I wonder if they seriously considered putting it in the movie or if they were just messing around. Rolling Eyes

Why Me or Humiliate the Boy-either crack me up.

I'm so glad they were just messing around with Call Me A Princess. Very Happy

For some reason, though, I always thought that all of the demos were considered for being in the movie.

I vote "Why Me?" because Jafar needed a song, and I like "Why Me?" better than "Humiliate the Boy." HtB is about Aladdin, really - if from the wrong perspective - but WM is all Jafar. Very Happy

That and it didn't fit as well. I liked the whole "Cinderella" part, where we find out the harem girls were plagued rats, but the rest of it was a little, uh, over the top.

But the second version was HILARIOUS! Especially the little back essence sort of tap thing Jafar and Iago do when Aladdin's going bye-bye was hugely funny.
