I've bought every Disney Mania that has been released. I really liked the first Disney Mania, but two, three, and four I was slightly dissapointed with. This one is arguably the best one. The only song I did not enjoy was the Second Star to the Right. My favorites were; Part of Your World, When She Loved Me, Colors of the Wind, Go the Distance, Reflection, and Let's Get Together.

I listened to the whole CD online so I could listen to it without wasting any money. Let us begin shall we?

1. Miley Cyrus - Part of Your World, it was an okay song but a bit too rockish for me. I didn't really like the "What do ya call them?" part cause it was just...annoying. (3.5/5)

2. Corbin Bleu - Two Worlds, I don't really listen to Corbin Bleu much, but this was a very good remake of Two Worlds. I love Phil Collins songs and I'm glad Corbin did a good job on this. (4.5/5)

3. The Cheetah Girls - So This is Love, the Cheetah Girls do it again! Make another song that going on Billboards no doubt. I especially love the additional lyrics and the Spanish parts as well. Another success for The Cheetah Girls. (5/5)

4. I Wanna Be Like You - Jonas Brothers, this is a fun song for kids to dance to. Unlike "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life)", this was better. Almost like Smash Mouth but I like it anyway. (4.5/5)

5. When She Loved Me - Jordan Pruitt, the best out of all the female vocals in this CD! I don't get why other people don't like her. Aside from that, this song is emotional, nice, and great for a modern day lullaby. (5/5)

6. Kiss the Girl - Ashley Tisdale, I sure we all have listened to this one. But I still like it too! It's up-beat, more pop/rock, and another song to dance to. (4.5/5)

7. The Second Star to the Right - T-Squad, apperantly I didn't like this song. The "Twinkle, Twinkle little star" rap was just horrible. A song we maybe want to skip. (1.5/5)

8. Cruella De Vil - Hayden Panettiere, almost like Lalaine's version but more with a pop flavor in it. Not the song I would listen to over and over again but I don't hate it. (3/5)

9. Colors of the Wind - Vanessa Hudgens, a very good song indeed by one of my favorite artists! She tried not to make it too R&B and that's good! Her vocals are excellent as well. (5/5)

10. Go the Distance - Lucas Grabeel, the best song out of all the male vocals, but apperantlly the entire CD! Very emotional, warm, and melodic. This song was done once on the previous Disneymania (4) but I didn't like it so much. But this version is the best! Especially when you're going to make an AMV on YouTube! Forget entire cd, it's best out of all Disneymania songs! (10/5)

11. Siamese Cat Song - B5, I don't like this song at all. Too hip-hop. The Second Star to The Right was better. (0/5)

12. Reflection - Everlife, A very great song! More up-beat than ballad. Everlife took it rather well like Disneymania 3 and 4! Like the Cheetah Girls, another success for Everlife! (5/5)

13. Let's Get Together - The Go-Go's, This song is a good song. Especially if your parents want to maybe steal the CD from you so that they can listen to "their" generation of The Veronicas. (4/5)

14. True to Your Heart - Keke Palmer, she's a very good singer and has talent. Almost a bit like Raven's version. (4/5)

15. Find Yourself - Drew Seeley, I never really heard this song before but it's from "Cars". (You can tell from the lyrics) He's a very talented singer. That's all I can say. But it's a nice song! (4.5/5)

After four previous volumes, Disney is starting to repeat itself! Despite such a fantastic and diverse songbook, I was disappointed to find so many of the songs on volume five have already been covered on the previous Disneymania albums. The series is a great concept, but it really has lost vision and umph with this latest release!

Above all I think this CD was very good.I liked most of the songs. The only one I realy didn't like was Part Of Your World by Miley Cyrus.To put it simply,in my opinion, it was the worst song in the whole CD.Find Yourself by Drew Seely was alright; Second Star To The Right by T-Squad was OK;True To Your Heart by Keke Palmer was good;I liked Colors of The Wind by Vanessa Hudgens;I realy liked Kiss The Girl by Ashely Tisdale
(boy,that woman really rocks!); Too Worlds by Corbin Bleu rocked, my second favorite;and,ofcourse,Go The Distance by Lucas Grabeel taking first place.

This album is a disgrace to Disney music. The only 2 songs on this CD worth listening to are Corbin Bleu's Two Worlds and Lucas Grabeel's Go the Distance. The rest of the tracks are so far removed from the original classics that they're barely recognizable. This music was NOT written as edgy rock and shouldn't be sung that way. All the magic from these pieces is lost in these "modern" versions. I have the first two Disneymania CDs, and those were good, but they've gotten progressively worse and they just repeat all the same songs from the previous discs. Every new artist's version of a song sounds exactly like the one that came before them.
(and no, I'm not some 54 year old baby boomer who only goes in for classical music. I'm a 21 year old college student who loves her classic Disney)

This CD, in my opinion, is better then Disney Mania 4. Heck...it's better then 3 as well. The highlight of the CD is definatley Lucas Grabeel's rendition of "Go the Distance". His version of this amazing Disney Classic gives the song an original, modern feel, without taking away the inspirattional qualities of it. I must say, I am very impressed.

this one isn't as good as the rest. we need some better songs stop having the same song on each cd song by different people. more songs. trust me i love it but, don't redo the same song. there i ahve said it.

"Colors of the Wind" is a gem al its own. It sticks true to the spirit of the original song while still having a modern twist. My rating? 10/10
"Part of Your World" is the BOMB of the century. It sinks to high heaven with heavy rock and Miley's dried out voice. My rating? -10/10

Disneymania 5 is AWESOME!!!! My favorites are Ashley Tisdale, Jonas Brothers, Lucas Grabeel, The Cheetah Girls & Corbin Bleu 5 STARS!!!!

The very first disneymania i ever heard was the first one. I thought it was so stupid, they were ruining classic songs that i loved. My best friend turned me onto the version of kiss the girl by no secrets and soon it became like our theme song, i loved it but i still loved the orginial. Disneymania is when artists take their favorite songs and make them unique, i have to say i liked a lot of this disneymania but my favorite songs are the ones that i had no attachment too. For instance i liked the second start to the right version but i don't really listen to the orginal. THese songs are rock-y and pop-y and not classic disney if thats what you are looking for then this isn't for it. This is something different and upbeat and its worth a try. Its all just for fun
