Top 20 Hardest Disney Songs to Sing

the world shining shimmering splendid welcome to Ms Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 hardest Disney songs to sing [Music] for this list we'll be looking at the most difficult Disney songs to tackle from animated and live action movies alike if we missed any of the tunes you find yourself struggling to nail let us know in the comments below number 20 with a smile and a song Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs can you imagine having the ability to Trail like an actual Bluebird yeah we can either [Music] oh Snow White has one of the more soprano voices out of all the Disney Princesses thanks to the late Adriana casellotti's gorgeous voice but this is just wild throughout with a smile and a song Snow White and the little birdie she's befriended go back and forth with beautiful melodies [Music] when she actually starts to sing most of the notes aren't actually too high but casalotti's soaring uplifting vocals are what make the tune work as well as it does to do this one Justice you've got to have the voice of a bird no exceptions [Music] number 19 I wonder Sleeping Beauty much like Snow White Aurora also love to hang around outside and sing with birds the woman behind the character Mary Costa was a literal Opera Queen so it appears our protagonist in this 1959 flick mainly sings with the soprano Birds [Music] the strength of Costa's voice gives I wonder the extra oomph it needs to become a classic when she stops vocalizing with the animals and gets to the actual meat of the number the power behind her voice shines through even more [Music] and that's not power just anyone can achieve though she makes it seem effortless confidence is also Paramount for this number you can't bring it to life properly without it black belong to me number 18 I Won't Say I'm in Love Hercules [Music] that's ancient history been there done that the music in Hercules is anything but easy the songs are mostly upbeat but even when their ballads Let Go the Distance they require a ton of energy and vocal power [Music] but the hardest solo number in the film definitely belongs to I Won't Say I'm in Love Meg's Bittersweet pop ballad requires a strong belt and plenty of sass this scene won't play I Won't Say I'm in Love [Music] the song features aspects of Motown and R B so the singer who takes it on needs to be comfortable with those vocal flourishes we think Susan Egan the voice of Meg handles it with a plum at least out loud I Won't Say I'm in foreign [Music] number 17 Circle of Life The Lion King from the moment The Lion King starts it's apparent that the minds Behind the Music are some of the best in the business Elton John and Tim Rice wrote gorgeous songs for The Lion King in one of their most complex Creations is the first thing you hear Circle of Life opens with an iconic Zulu part performed by Lebo M before leading into the opening lines of the verse Carmen twilley is the vocalist who sings the verses and chorus and her unique sound makes the number what it is [Music] keeps going keeps Christmas it's hard for just any singer to capture the magic twilly brings it takes a special voice to get this one right while also nailing the technical aspects [Applause] [Music] number 16 Colors of the Wind Pocahontas Disney is known for their princess power ballads and it's hard to beat the magic of Colors of the Wind in Pocahontas can you sing with all the voices can you paint with all the colors of the wind the titular character sings the tune after meeting John Smith as she tries to teach him about the world from a different perspective Judy Kuhn serves as Pocahontas's singing voice and her layered vocal gives the number the force it needs to carry the weight of the song's message cut it down then you'll never know to sing Colors of the Wind well a vocalist needs not just a powerful belt but the capacity to tap into the emotional truth behind the tracks lyrics [Music] Queen [Applause] [Music] number 15 we don't talk about Bruno Encanto this viral sensation is a lot tougher to perform than it seems we don't talk about Bruno might seem like a simple song aimed primarily at kids but it's got a lot more going for it than that no no no [Music] The Ensemble song features lots of encanto's cast and has a lot of moving parts that all have to come together to create one musical Moment The rhythms combine the musical stylings of salsa hip hop pop and more and each singer has to deliver their lyrics in a syncopated beat that can be hard to master so happy so humble do you understand each section is vastly different but by the end they're all fusing together cohesively you've got to focus on your part while paying attention to the hole that's tough [Music] number 14 Gaston Beauty and the Beast think drinking song but in the style of Broadway that's the type of Diddy Alan Menken and Howard Ashman created with Gaston everyone's odd and inspired by you and it's not very hard to see why you might not hear the words Drinking Song and think oh that'll be particularly difficult to master but when you've got Ashman holding the proverbial pen and menkin creating the music things are different [Music] like Gaston where's a specimen yes I'm intimidating I don't understand the lyrics of Gaston are some of the best in Beauty and the Beast and the close harmonies help give the song a silly winking flow when you add in Gaston's Stellar baritone and lefou's personality you've got yourself a tough one to recreate number 13 A Whole New World Aladdin this duet is one of the crowning achievements of any Disney movie that's High Praise but it really is one for the books I can open your eyes take you wonder by Wonder over sideways and on on a Magic Carpet Ride while Aladdin features a ton of wonderful songs A Whole New World requires really excellent singers behind the mic to make it work Jasmine's Parts in particular soar High into the upper register so whoever is taking it on needs a strong mix and belt [Music] he's near the end meanwhile move in Tandem and require both vocalists to follow each other closely and stay exactly in tune when it comes to this duet there's no room for mistakes [Music] for you and me number 12 when Will My Life Begin Tangled do you ever listen to a song and try to figure out when the singer is supposed to breathe yeah us too when Will My Life Begin is a perfect example of this phenomenon [Music] it's like 7 15. the opening number of Tangled moves relatively quickly and basically covers the performer's entire register throughout its run those two factors combined make it difficult to sing in general but exceedingly difficult to sing well [Music] sleep just wonder when Will My Life Begin of course Mandy Moore utilizes the breath equality to her voice perfectly in her rendition of the tune but not all vocalists are as lucky [Music] number 11 Under the Sea The Little Mermaid talk about a fast-paced whale of a good time Sebastian is a beloved character in 1989's The Little Mermaid and he's voiced superbly well by the late Samuel e Wright one area where right really shines is during his performance of under the sea [Music] floor [Music] he perfectly Nails the Calypso and reggae styles of the song he also has the chops to sing and shimmy his way through the song's quick Tempo getting the words out with a sense of ease and relaxation [Music] you need to be a singer who can compete with him to make something like under the sea Sparkle it takes a true Wordsmith [Music] don't see number 10 Be Our Guest Beauty and the Beast one of the most famous songs in the Disney Canon Be Our Guest is a show-stopping Broadway number performed mostly by baritone vocalist Jerry Orbach B a guest Be Our Guest put our service to the test tie your napkin around your neck Sherry and we provide the rest orbox vocal performance has long garnered critical Acclaim and award recognition and Be Our Guest was nominated for the American Film institute's 100 years 100 songs list part of its difficulty undoubtedly stems from lumiere's accent as Orbach a New York native was forced to sing in a convincing French accent and a dinner here is never a second best singing this song even as an ensemble member and hitting its signature low notes is hard enough let alone in a completely different accent has been [Music] [Applause] number nine almost there The Princess and the Frog known for playing the first black Disney princess Tony winner Anika Noni Rose has had a long and prosperous career on stage but she's certainly no stranger to the Silver Screen then it's not my style I want some grandkids she's obviously supremely talented and that shows in the Beautiful song almost there this is Tiana's main song signaling her ambition and pride [Music] don't stop me now cause I'm almost there most of the song is wonderfully sung by Rose her voice proving buttery smooth and captivating but like the bells of Notre Dame much of the wow factor comes in the final line when Rose holds an impressively extended high note that caps the song in thrilling fashion [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] number eight Zero to Hero Hercules this Disney film follows a group of gods so what better way to honor that theme than with some gospel music [Music] Hercules is notable in the Disney Canon for containing gospel with the muses inhabiting the genre while discussing the events of the story Zero to Hero is a whirlwind of a song performed by seasoned professionals including R B legend tawatha Ag and Tony award-winning Broadway performers lilius white and lashawns [Music] as is often the case with gospel the song contains a lot of difficult high notes and it moves along at a zippy speed that could easily leave behind more inexperienced singers Cindy number seven Show Yourself Frozen two this might not be the most famous song in Frozen 2 but it's certainly the hardest when this sequel came out most people probably left the theater singing into the unknown [Music] um that one is certainly challenging in its own right but the more we listen to show yourself the more it became apparent that it was the true test yourself [Music] The Ballad is mostly sung by Adina Menzel and runs the gamut of her vocal range she's joined by Evan Rachel Wood who adds a majestic quality [Music] bringing the number to life necessitates Precision along with great emotion season performers like Menzel and wood are talented enough to deliver all that and more but an amateur will have to work to get it right foreign [Music] number six reflection Mulan after providing the singing for Jasmine in Aladdin singer Leia Salonga returned to lend her voice for Mulan look at me I will never pass for a Perfect Bride or a perfect daughter and reflection while quite a short song at just two minutes has long proven one of the most memorable and difficult Disney princess Tunes both an Olivier and Tony award-winning singer Salonga has a marvelous voice [Music] she is forced to hit and hold many challenging high notes throughout reflection and just thinking about trying it makes our throats hurt don't shine [Music] it's a perfect representation of salonga's commanding stage presence as she has the ability to belt out vocals with amazing Clarity number five how far I'll go Moana with songs co-written by the Pulitzer winning lin-manuel Miranda the soundtrack to Moana has proven one of the most popular of Disney's modern efforts it features a fantastic yet deceptively challenging villain song in shiny which is wonderfully performed by Flight of the Conchords Jermaine Clement you can make it look shiny I will Sparkle like a wealthy woman's neck just a sec but how far I'll go is a shining example of the Disney I want song and its song with amazing Precision by Hawaiian native Ali I cravalo who wins myself [Music] my goal there's just no telling how far I'll go corio shows off her enviable range throughout the song and caps the piece with an impressive flourish Miranda knows how to write a killer show tune and crevallo certainly knows how to sing him but it ain't easy [Music] foreign number four Let It Go Frozen it's not often that we get a song like Let It Go the wind is howling like this swirling storm inside [Music] as seemingly everyone in the world knows Let It Go transcended its movie to become a genuine pop culture phenomenon and it's mainly due to the aforementioned Idina Menzel's matchless voice there's simply no one else out there who can do what she does behind a microphone some critics called it Menzel's best vocal performance since Wicked displaying her signature power Clarity and belting technique she hits the type of high notes that few others can and she ends Let It Go with the most famous sustained note in Disney history Bravo for the pros [Music] number three friend like me Aladdin proving his incredible Talent as an all-around performer Robin Williams absolutely killed it with friend like me Thief shares out ahead a thousand times but Master you in luck cause leaves You Got a Brand Magic never fails the vocals don't stand out as Robin Williams wasn't a professional singer but it's the energy and the multi-faceted nature of the song that prove immensely difficult Williams rapidly varies between voices tones and inflections and the lyrics are both dense and fast-paced [Music] it's hard to sing this one without quickly running out of breath and only a performer with Williams's energy can do it justice [Music] it's this quality that makes friend like me such a joy to watch on stage and it quickly became the most popular number of the Broadway musical number two the bells of Notre Dame The Hunchback of Notre Dame for such an underrated Disney film The Hunchback of Notre Dame contains some killer Tunes out there is a heartbreaking song beautifully performed by Tony J and Tom Hulse playing frollo and Quasimodo respectively out there they'll revile you as a monster out there they will hate and Scorn and jeer be a monster but the most technically demanding song of the film is arguably the opening number the bells of Notre Dame it's mostly performed by Paul kandell a supremely talented tenor singer and Tony nominated Broadway performer and some say the soul of the city is the toll of the Bell a battle field there's a reason Tanners are so respected what they do can be incredibly difficult but their effort pays off in magical and gorgeous ways plus that extended high note in the finale is absolutely Heavenly it could very well be the greatest opening number in any Disney film [Music] [Applause] foreign [Music] be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos you

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Mary Poppins while both spoonful of sugar and Step in Time are great yet tricky Tunes supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is unlike anything heard in film either before or since performed by both Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews the song's tongue twisting title has entered the common vernacular and can even be found in the Oxford English Dictionary the song gallops along at quite a rapid Tempo in both Van Dyke and Andrews require great skill to sing at high speed I'm gonna say it backwards which is docious aliexpialistic sagically rupas but that's going a bit too far simply saying the word is difficult enough let alone integrating it within such a fast-moving song these performers have astonishing breath control and vocal Clarity and they make the most challenging Disney song look easy [Music] foreign do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip from mizmojo and be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to be notified about our
