The current lineup, as of February 2014.
Hi there! I'm ApplesauceDoctr, and welcome to my third article and coincidentally my third countdown, featuring my favori DP chant voices. The majority of our current princesses do sing; all but Merida. So, what do toi say? Let's do this!
For fun, I thought of ranking each princess on a scale of one through five, with one being the lowest and five being the highest score possible. This is just to montrer how much I like each voice in the overall. :)
I know that Anna and Elsa will [most likely] be joining the lineup sometime this year, but even so, I would just like to focus on the current official princesses, minus Merida (since she doesn't sing).
Okay,
now let's begin! :D
9. Snow White: ★★★☆☆ 
Although I like Snow White's voice, it's hard to compete with other great voices.
*sigh* I really don't like putting Snow White at the bottom. There are definitely those that don't like her voice for it sounding old-fashioned, but I don't mind it. I like it at most times. It sounds very sweet and childlike, and it fits her personality really well. She sounds really nice in "Whistle While toi Work" and for most of "With a Smile and a Song". In other songs, she can hit some really high notes, which sound...not so great. But as a whole, I like Snow's voice. The only thing bringing her to the bottom are her high-notes, and the fact that the other princesses have amazing voices too. ;D
8. Rapunzel: ★★★☆☆ 
Rapunzel's voice sounds really nice, but once again, I prefer the other voices more.
Similar to what I a dit about Snow White, Rapunzel's voice is very nice. Mandy Moore captures her personality perfectly, both in speaking and singing. She can hold notes nicely and sounds just amazing in "I See the Light".
So, why is she so low on the list? Well, once again like Snow White, the other princesses have stronger and plus powerful voices that I just happen to like more. But don't get me wrong; I l’amour hearing Rapunzel sing. She sounds just lovely! :D
7. Belle: ★★★☆☆ 
Belle's voice is nice and powerful. Sadly though, she isn't any higher than #7.
Belle's never had my favori voice, and for a while I could never see what was so outstanding about it. After relistening to some of her songs in the movie, though, I've noticed how nice she sounds! Her voice in general is nice, and she can really hold some notes. Her voice may still not be super-amazing-outstanding to me, but it really sounds nice and it fits her character well. I'm going to give the same old excuse as I did for the précédant princesses: I like the other voices more.
6. Cinderella: ★★★★☆ 
Cinderella just has a beautiful chant voice.
She may be at number 6, but I
love Cinderella's voice. There's just that one sound that people had back in the 40's and 50's that toi can't find nowadays, and Cendrillon is no exception. Her voice is just lovely, and she sounds just that in every song she sings, from "A Dream is a Wish Your cœur, coeur Makes" to "So This is Love". I haven't heard too many opinions on fanpop about Cinderella's chant voice, but I hope her chant gets some attention as it sounds amazing. :)
5. Aurora: ★★★★☆ Aurora's almost always hailed for having the greatest chant voice of all the princesses. Well, I'm not going to act like I've always thought that, because for almost all of my little life, I totally disagreed. I couldn't stand listening to her sing - her voice sounded deep, her long notes aggravated me, and...yeah. Well, my friends, that opinion has turned around!
I wonder why I didn't see...er, hear it before...
Maybe not entirely, but if I hadn't watched
Sleeping Beauty recently, Aurora'd be at #9. Seriously. So, how did this happen? Well, I for one l’amour Aurora's chant when she's first walking in the forest. There are no words, she's just chant a bunch of angelic-sounding notes that the birds repeat. Her later chant in "I Wonder" and "Once Upon a Dream" are also really nice. She holds notes, her voice is powerful, and is all-around amazing. Well, she does suffer from some of those long notes being a tad tedious (like Snow White), but other than that, she sounds great.
4. Jasmine/Mulan: ★★★★☆ Well, as toi may have figured out par now, there had to be a tie somewhere, and that was with jasmin and Mulan. They do sound a little different from eachother, but they're both voiced par Lea Salonga, so it may as well be a tie.
jasmin and Mulan don't get huge chant roles, but when they sing, they sound great. They have a powerful and nice-sounding voice which goes great with their respective songs that they sing.
They may not sing much, but jasmin and Mulan have beautiful voices.
jasmin only shares a duet, but even so she can prove her vocal powers. :D Mulan was lucky enough to get her own solo, and she brings her all into its performance. Sadly, "Reflection" is still relatively short in comparison to the other songs in the movie.
These two are already pretty high on the list, but let's check out my haut, retour au début 3 choices! From here on out, I'll only have positive commentaires to say (at least, in terms of singing). So, who's my choice for third place?...
3. Pocahontas: ★★★★☆ 
I may not like Pocahontas much, but her chant is out of this world.
In general, I'm not a fan of Pocahontas. When it comes to its musique and her chant voice, that opinion is gone. I
love Pocahontas' voice. She sounds great in both "Just Around the Riverbend" and especially in "Colors of the Wind". Like some of the other princesses on this list, she has a very powerful voice that sounds amazing when combined with these two songs (which, par the way, are both awesome). I was torn between putting Pocahontas here ou at the seconde place spot, but I finally settled for third place. Still, Pocahontas sings beautifully. ;D
2. Ariel: ★★★★★ 
Ariel's voice - well, toi already know it's great, so I'll just stop talking.
Ariel is another princess who is commonly considered to have [one of] the greatest voice[s], and of course, I'd have to agree with that. Is it overrated? Well, it's certainly a populaire opinion, but I wouldn't say it's overrated - she deserves all the attention she gets! Not only does Ariel have a beautiful chant voice, but her song "Part of Your World" and its reprise are both fantastic pieces, and her voice sounds great in both songs. If anything, I'm a bit upset that she doesn't get to sing more!
And now, my favori DP chant voice is...
1. Tiana: ★★★★★ 
That last note is AWESOME!
has everything for me: favori princess, favori princess chant voice, favori Disney movie (of course), and favori soundtrack. Tiana's my favori princess, and her voice is my favori among all the princesses. She has "Almost There" all to herself, and I l’amour the last note she holds. Such power! She also has the opening song "Evening Star", where she sounds amazing as well. There are a few other songs where she has small roles, but the précédant ones mentioned are my favorites. Tiana's powerful voice sounds incredible, and it goes well with her songs.
And that's the end! I hope you've enjoyed lire this article, even if toi didn't quite agree with the things I said. Hopefully toi did enjow it, though. :D I have a little request for toi guys, and it's rather simple! Just answer these two questions in the commentaires below:
1. Which princess has your favori chant voice?
2. Which princess has your least favori chant voice?
And that's that! See toi guys later! :D
Still to come: Anna and Elsa
