Notes of study from yesterday's youtube trap:
Hellfire is, hands down, best in French.
Friend Like Me is really, really good in Japanese and Spanish. So is Prince Ali.
A Whole New World, on the other hand, is good in French plus those two.
Colors of the Wind does not sound bad in any language. I didn't hear a bad rendition of it.
Make a Man Out of You is hands down best in English, but Jackie Chan's Chinese version comes very close. Hilariously, the German version lacks any sort of power behind the words. Which was a general problem for all the versions except Jackie Chan's and the English.
Everybody Wants to Be a Cat is SO cute in French! I love it!
Why Should I Worry is best in English, but I actually think the Hebrew version is a tie.
Be Prepared sounds really, really good in Italian.
I Won't Say It is good in Spanish and German.
Hakuna Matata sounds SO weird in Japanese... And also in other languages. I think that song is another best suited to English. The Japanese version just stuck out to me more.
Zero to Hero is best in English, but the French version seriously almost nails it. And hearing the Japanglish in the Japanese version is 'awww' inducing. ブレッス マイ ソー！
Belle is amaaaazing in French, and the Japanese version is REALLY easy to understand.
... And I can't even REMEMBER every song we listened to.
