sweetie-94's favoriete DP singing voices part 1-English voices

posted by sweetie-94

Here is my fifth article! I decided to write two lists about my favoriete singing voices, this lijst is the english voices, the volgende one will be with their swedish voices (same goes for their speaking voices which I will do after the singing voices) because swedish is my first language and I grew up with most of the swedish versions of the princesses (except for Tiana and Rapunzel). For the swedish version I will post linken to videos so that u can choose a favoriete aswell. Image credit goes to Elemental-Aura for the beautiful top, boven image and princesslullaby for the rest of the pictures.

10. Pocahontas (voiced door Judy Kuhn)
I have never liked her singing voice, it dosen't suit her at all and I don't like voices that sounds like it's a man that does the voice because a woman should sound like a woman not like a man. The only thing that I like about her voice is that it's a very powerful voice.

9. Aurora (voiced door Mary Costa)
When I first heard the english versions of the songs in the movie, I was surprised that her voice sounded so old and she was supposed to be 16 and her voice actress was 16 when she did the voice. The only reason to why I like it better then Pocahontas is that she sings opera and I love opera.

8. Belle (voiced door Paige O Hara)
She sounds too old, but her voice is better then the other two because it sounds similar to my own and because it's a very pretty voice, but if they choosed someone younger I would like her voice better.

7. jasmijn (voiced door Lea Salonga)
I think her voice is pretty, but I just think the others singing voices are better. Some people say her voice her voice is generic (Lea Salonga), but I don't think so and what's special about Lea Salonga is that she also did the singing voice for the volgende princess on my list.

6. Mulan (voiced door Lea Salonga)
Even though they have different singing voices I decided to seperate them because they sound different to me. I think Lea did Mulan slightly better because her voice is meer pretty here. But my top, boven 5 have better singing voices.

5. Ariel (voiced door Jodi Benson)
I love her voice, I can understand why Eric thought her voice was beautiful. The only problem I have with her voice is that she dosen't sound like a 16 jaar old girl in my opinion mostly because Jodi was in her late 20's when she did the voice (around 25-26).

4. Rapunzel (voiced door Mandy Moore)
I think they didn't choose the best actress for the original version, but I still love her voice because before Tangled came out I was a big fan of Mandy Moore because I thought she had a lovely voice. If u haven't heard her so much I'm gonna give u a link to one of my favoriete songs of hers.

3. Tiana (voiced door Anika Noni Rose)
What a perfect choice for an African American princess. It amazes me that many other African-Americans wanted to play her for example Tyra Banks and Alicia Keys. Actually Anika Noni Rose did one other kinda big role in the movie The no 1 Ladies Detective Agency. She is playing the secretary of the protagonist in the movie, check it out if u haven't seen it, it's pretty good.

2. Cinderella (voiced door Ilene Woods)
I love her voice, at first though I was sceptical if I was going to love her voice, but soon I fell for her voice, it's one of the sweetest voices I've ever heard. I wished she could have been number 1, but I think that she deserves the number 2 spot

1. Snow White (voiced door Adriana Caselotti)
Like with most of the other princess voices I was at first surprised when i heard her voice, but compared to most of the others I fell for her voice immedetly and still today I love her voice and I really hate the fact that many people hate her voice, but I can understand why. This is one of the few disney princess voices where the voice fits the princess voice perfectly. As an ending before the pictures here is a tv special from 1986 that I really love and here Adriana tells us how she got the voice. And I love how she hits the high notes, it's just simply amazing.

Pink_Love Good article~! Mandy Moore is my favorite.

NyoHetaliaCreed I never knew Mandy Moore was a singer! Guess you do learn something new every day. I also have to agree that Snow White's singing voice is VERY suiting for her. Although it's not my favourite singing voice to listen to (it's WAY to high pitched for my liking). Rapunzel's singing voice is also very suiting, but that's mainly because the person who was doing her voice was also doing her singing voice unlike the other princesses who usually have another person do the singing voice.

Pink_Love && I love "A Walk to Remember" it has always been one of my favorite Movies~!

magicfairydust wow, our lists are really different, but great article!

heathersvan I have Aurora as #1 on my list, but you're right about Snow White. Her voice definitely suits her.

Summer_Leanne Hmmm...well, I completely disagree with most of your list, but still, good article : ) Most of your opinion is based on age, but, in case you didn't already know, vocal tone has absolutely nothing to do with age when you're past 14 yrs. old. After the early years of puberty (12yrs.-14yrs.) females (this doesn't usually happen with males, since male voices tend to develop deeper, stronger tones) can either have high-pitched, childlike singing voices OR more mature, stronger, more voluminous singing voices. It all depends on the structure of one's vocals cords and NOT age. So, Belle, Pocahontas, and Ariel have more solid tones compared to the other princesses because their vocal cords are structured differently. That being said, I think they're voices fit perfectly. But that's just my opinion : )
