As some of 你 might be able to tell, I have been in a very musical mood lately. Along those themes, I wanted to make 2 音乐 countdowns: 1 for Songs and 1 for Scores. I 爱情 Disney's music, especially from the team of Alan Menken & Howard Ashman. I almost never like covers of DP songs 由 迪士尼 Pop stars so unless otherwise mentioned, all versions here are the original ones from the film. Here are my rankings for 最喜爱的 songs:

Honorary Mentions:
With A Smile & A Song - Snow White & The 7 Dwarfs (So positive and uplifting plus an excellent message.) "There's no use in grumbling When the raindrops come tumbling Remember, you're the one Who can fill the world with sunshine When 你 smile and 你 sing."
Dig A Little Deeper - The Princess & The Frog (So genuine and upbeat plus an excellent message.) "Don't matter what 你 look like. Don't matter what 你 wear. How many rings 你 got on your finger, We don't care. Don't matter where 你 come from. Don't even matter what 你 are"

20. I'll Make A Man Out Of 你 - Mulan
I 爱情 how this is such a great little masculine song thrown into a DP film! I think it was an excellent diverse song from the lovely 更多 feminine songs. I think the lyrics are great and they often will get stuck in my head.


19. Poor Unfortunate Souls- The Little Mermaid
This has always been such a great villain song to me. I 爱情 the way Ursula delivers it as well as the specific words she chooses. (She reminds me a lot of my ex-Stepmom, especially when she sings this song.) This song really shows off how villainous and manipulative Ursula is.


18. Whistle While 你 Work- Snow White & The 7 Dwarfs
I 爱情 how this song shows Snow White's positive and genuine nature. I have heard her described as "manipulative" but I don't see that at all, I think she's a very good and decent person who does not try to exploit others to get what she wants. (Her plea for help to the Dwarfs was simply that, a plea from a 14-ish? 年 old maiden who knew that was the safest place for her and she offered to do her part to stay.) Whenever I am cleaning myself, I always tend to hear this song. Work has to be done and it's best done with a positive attitude.


17. Almost There- The Princess & The Frog
I 爱情 Tiana's confidence in this song, towards her goal to open up her own restaurant. I love, respect and admire the fact that she doesn't just expect things to fall into her lap, she is willing to do the work to reach her goal. She doesn't let "trials and tribulations" bring her down because she is stronger than that and chooses not to be a victim. I also 爱情 the fact that she stands out in her town. She describes the people in New Orleans as being 更多 laid back and easy going, as mentioned in the line "This old town can slow 你 down, people taking the easy way But I know exactly where I'm going, I'm getting closer and closer every day." This determination and ambitious spirit is displayed beautifully in this song and I 爱情 the nod to her father in it as well.


16. Something There- Beauty & The Beast
I 爱情 how this song shows Belle & the beast starting to fall in love. It's so sweet and sincere. I think it also very accurately shows how true 爱情 plays out from a budding friendship. At some point 你 just realize that there's "something there" that's 更多 than friendship, the chemistry becomes undeniable. The initial judgments/perceptions are gone and a 爱情 has started to develop in it's place.


15. For The First Time In Forever Reprise - Frozen
It's been noted many times on this site but it's worth mentioning again, this song does such a beautiful job at 展示 the contrast and dynamic between Elsa & Anna. Their voices blend beautifully together. This song gets stuck in my head often!


14. Belle - Beauty & The Beast
I 爱情 this entire song! I 爱情 all of the lyrics and I 爱情 how well it explains so much about Belle's character. The fact that she went through hardship, that she is misunderstood, that she finds solace in reading, that she has big dreams for herself, and that she is a classic beauty in her town yet doesn't use it to her advantage 或者 rely on it to exploit others. I even 爱情 all of the lyrics sung 由 various townspeople in it!


13. A Girl Worth Fighting For - Mulan
I 爱情 how flattering this song is! These men are marching off into war to face some cruel and merciless enemies and protect everyone in their country and the only thing they hope for in return is to find a girl, a love, who makes it all worth it. Some say this song is not romantic at all but I completely disagree. Although I am a woman, I think this song coming from men and their point of view is incredibly romantic. They are willing to face almost certain death with the hopes that a woman will 爱情 them, appreciate them and respect them for all of their hard work and effort to keep them going. Plus, what they ask for is no where near unreasonable (specific beauty traits, appreciation of battle scars, cooks well, praise and adoration and laughs at his jokes). They also don't just want a girl 由 force 或者 circumstance, they want to impress and woo her. I love, appreciate and respect this song. I also appreciate and respect the horrible things that lots of males willingly choose to face as well as their uncanny protection and accommodation for females and children (usually strangers) so that they don't have to deal with the "ugly work". I also 爱情 that the song ends abruptly with the reality of exactly why it is these men need these kinds of hopes, for the horrible things they do face and deal with. Catchy too.


12. Part Of Your World/Reprise - The Little Mermaid
I 爱情 how beautiful and emotional Ariel's voice is in this. It's kind of heartbreaking for me. She sounds so sincere, so passionate with such longing. I think this song is just gorgeous, musically and vocally. This scene/song usually makes me cry because of Ariel's conviction and how gorgeous the song is musically.


11. I Wonder - Sleeping Beauty
I 爱情 how gorgeous Aurora's voice sounds. I also 爱情 how this song represents Aurora's docile and innocent nature as well as her romantic and idealistic personality. She is so pure and graceful and I think it really comes through in this song. The only way she knows of finding 爱情 is the same way as the birds: Through song.


10. Let It Go - Frozen
Yes, I 爱情 this song. I think the 音乐 is very beautiful and I 爱情 the actress' voice in it. I've never really liked the song "Reflection" from 花木兰 but I'm pretty sure I 爱情 this song for the same reason others 爱情 that song. I think it's beautifully passionate and earnest, albeit not smartly written. As a song on it's own, I completely understand why it was such a big hit as it immediately stuck with me the first time I saw Frozen. As far as the film goes though, there are definite inconsistencies with the lyrics here and the film's story.


9. Listen With Your 心 - Pocahontas
I tend to try to find a balance between head and 心 but that aside, I 爱情 this song. I find it to be so incredibly soothing. The few lyrics that are here are beautiful as well.


8. If I Never Knew 你 - Pocahontas
I don't know why, and maybe someone could clear this up for me, but I remember this song being in the movie and playing when Pocahontas goes to see John Smith while he is being held captive. That was when I watched in on VHS as a child though. Now when I see the movie on Blu-Ray, it's not played until the credits. I do 爱情 the version at the end with the credits though 由 Jon Secada and Shanice, I think it's done beautifully. Anyways, I always thought this was one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard in my life, especially lyrically. This song really shows the power and beauty of love; how fragile and precious it is. Definitely this song makes me cry every single time I hear it nowadays because it's so beautiful. Perhaps because I feel the same way about my husband. There's a saying that "It's better to have loved and 迷失 then to have not known 爱情 at all" and I think this song embodies that perfectly. link


7. Belle Reprise - Beauty & The Beast
It's very short but I absolutely 爱情 and adore it. I can't get enough, it is stuck in my head all of the time. I 爱情 how it's distilled to the core of what Belle wants: Adventure away from here 更多 than anything else. It reminds me of the song "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place" 由 The Animals. I 爱情 the concept behind this song.


6. So This Is Love
This stuck always stuck out the most to me from Cinderella, even as a child. It was so beautiful and romantic as well as so pure and innocent. I 爱情 the way it accurately resembles love. It accurately represents 爱情 to be transcending and heavenly. Definitely will always be a beautiful and heartwarming classic for me.


5. Mother Knows Best - Tangled
This song has been growing on me ever since the first time I heard it! I 爱情 it so much as I can really relate to it. I think this song perfectly captures the manipulation and deceit of Mother Gothel. I 爱情 how Mother Gothel plays the "Merchant of Doubt" 由 saying things like "One way 或者 another Something will go wrong, I swear" she uses the line "Me, I'm just your mother what do I know? I only bathed and changed and nursed you" 展示 how ridiculously manipulative she is. None of that stuff means anything because that's her job yet she's trying to make Rapunzel feel indebted to her for being alive. Personally, this song reminds me of my actual mother and it really captures her villainous spirit (and she is similar to Mother Gothel) so I find this song to be brilliantly realistic and accurate.


4. A Whole New World - Aladdin
My all-time 最喜爱的 迪士尼 duet! I have always loved this song since I first heard it as a little girl and still find it to be such a romantic and magical feeling song. I 爱情 the way it describes young 爱情 to be so exciting and full of adventure and mystery. I think it's so beautiful. This is also one of my 最喜爱的 茉莉, 茉莉花 scenes where she finally stops being a shrew for a 分钟 (until the song is over) and just lets herself be happy.


3. Honor To Us All - Mulan
I rank this so highly because I catch myself 唱歌 it all the time! I think it is so cute and catchy! I also 爱情 the dynamic it shows between 花木兰 and her mother. I also 爱情 the "recipe for instant bride" and find it to be fairly accurate. I also 爱情 that it does mostly match up with what the men say they want from women. I just feel like women don't really understand men as well as they used to and I don't think enough mothers give their daughters honest and straight-forward 建议 despite what feelings it may trigger like they used to. I 爱情 that Mulan's mother does this for her in this song though. I have the highest respect and appreciation for good mothers and wives so I personally really respect and appreciate this song and the way it holds that role in such high esteem. I see children as the future so I think good parenting is absolutely prime and necessary; One of the most important jobs in society. I still value families as they are still the best environment for children growing up and I 爱情 how this song speaks to that.


2. Once Upon A Dream - Sleeping Beauty I 爱情 classical 音乐 and I absolutely 爱情 Tchaikovsky! Ever since I was a little girl I always liked classical 音乐 and I loved this song. It always feels like a dream, sweeping me off my feet and making me want to do Piqué turns etc. all over the room. It certainly sweeps me off my feet and I can definitely see why it swept Aurora off of hers as well. It embodies grace and beauty to me.


1. Part Of That World - The Little Mermaid Nostalgia, nostalgia. Not just for the film but for when I felt just like Ariel and I was "ready to know what the people know, ask them my 问题 and get some answers". I always wanted to explore and learn new things and have been very curious about other cultures. I think the concept behind this song is so beautiful and inspiring. I also think Ariel's voice is so powerful and feminine at the same time, sometimes it gives me 鹅 bumps. I adore Ariel's voice completely, it's so gorgeous. I think the 音乐 behind the song is equally gorgeous. A timeless classic that I sing/listen to often.
