4.0 out of 5 stars It grows on you, October 11, 2002

By 

Peter Wright (Sammamish, WA United States) - See all my reviews

At first, I was disappointed with these new versions of classic Disney songs, but the more I've listened to it, the more I've come to enjoy it. Even the destruction of the beautiful love ballad Beauty and the Beast can be sung with despite the faster pace. Though I'm not an Aaron Carter fanatic, I just can't wait to be king is pretty similar to Elton John's pop version and still has that "oldies sound" that made me love the original version so much. Hilary Duff's Tiki Room is my favorite on the disc. All in all, this isn't a bad set of songs. For the most part, the artists have stuck to the original melodies while at the same time adding their own styles to the mix. Some tunes will grind on the ears of true Disney music enthusiasts, but I don't regret buying the CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST IDEA ANYONE'S EVER HAD!!, June 17, 2003

I'm gonna ignore the fact that we know this was another gimmick for Disney to suck up our money. Fine, so be it! This album is worth every penny I paid! :) Combining Classic Disney songs with hot artists was pure genious.

SOMEDAY MY PRINCE WILL COME (Anastacia)--0/5 Definitely my least favorite song on the album. A terrible choice to start with. She butchered a beautiful classic song. The melody is barely even recognizeable!
UNDER THE SEA (A*Teens)--5/5 The A-Teens rock, and this song rocks: you put them together, and you get an AWESOME song! I could listen to this one over and over!
YOU'LL BE IN MY HEART (Usher)--3/5 This is okay. Usher has a great voice, but this song is just not the same without Phil Collins singing it...not even close.
WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR (N'Sync)--5/5 Absolutely beautiful! N'Sync shows off their vocal harmony prowess and turns a Disney anthem into gorgeous a capella.
COLORS OF THE WIND (Ashanti & Lil' Sis Shi Shi)--3/5 If any voices were supposed to sing this song, Ashanti and Lil' Sis were the ones. It's one of my less favorite songs, but done beautifully anyway.
I WAN'NA BE LIKE YOU (Smash Mouth)--5/5 In top competition for the best song on the album. This song has never sounded so funky and fun--definitely a SWEET track!
PART OF YOUR WORLD (Jessica Simpson)--4/5 Jessica has an amazing voice, but it's a little too grown-up for this song. Still, she blows the competition out of the water!
I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO BE KING (Aaron Carter)--4/5 I love Aaron, and I love this song. It somewhat lacks the fun & punch of the movie version, but it's fun to listen to.
CAN YOU FEEL THE LOVE TONIGHT (S Club)--3/5 I'm somehow missing the "love" in this song. It's very pretty, but I don't think S Club was made for such a mellow song. Their voices are king of annoying unless they're doing a pop/dance song.
HAKUNA MATATA (Baha Men)--2/5 My little sister loves this song, but personally I find it irritating. All of the remakes of Lion King songs leave something to be desired. It's such a powerful movie, and somehow the power is lost in these remakes.
THE TIKI, TIKI, TIKI ROOM (Hilary Duff)--5/5 Without a doubt, the BEST SONG on the album!! This is the ultimate feel-good song. Hilary's voice is perfect for the melody, and yes, it WILL get stuck in your head all day! Haha. :)
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (Jump 5)--5/5 Another top competitor, because Jump 5 is REALLY talented! This song is absolutely beautiful, and I'm very proud. They took one of the best Disney songs of all time and actually did it justice!
KISS THE GIRL (No Secrets)--4/5 This song can get a bit annoying after a while, but it's a cute remake and the girls are talented.
RELFECTION (Christina Aguilera)--4/5 A great song, but EXTREMELY outdated. It's been overplayed, so it's pretty much a "skip" song on this CD.
CIRCLE OF LIFE (Ronan Keating)--5/5 Maybe I'm out of the loop because I've never heard of this guy, but he has a FABULOUS voice and does a great version of this song! :)

These are just my opinions of the songs on this album. I think it has a lot of great variety and is definitely worth buying. Who knows? You may have the exact opposite opinions of me. You'll never know unless you buy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars A must have for Pop Music or Disney Fans., September 18, 2002

By 

J. Martin "ffej26" (Woodside, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Disneymania (Audio CD)

Some people might be appalled at some of the versions on Disneymania, a collection opf some of Disneys greatest songs sung by some of todays biggest pop stars. Others will love it, especially pop music fans. Highlights include Anastacias funky new version of Someday My Prince Will Come, Nysnc's stunning new rendition of When You Wish Upon a Star, Ushers R&B version of You'll Be in My Heart, and Jessica Simpsons beautiful vocals on Part of Your World. Some songs I could do without, and I actually was a bit appalled how much certain songs were butchered. Like Jump 5's version of the classic Beauty and the Beast, now a euro pop dance song, and Ashanti's flat, uninspired singing on Colors of the Wind. Why they just did not put Vanessa Williams version is beyond me.Also included are Can You Feel the Love Tonight, sung rather sweetly by S Club, I Just Can't Wait to Be King by Aaron Carter, and Reflection by Christina Aguilera. Overall a great collection to have with some fun new versions of some of Disneys greatest.
