six years ago Kristen anderson-lopez and Robert Lopez wrote a song so good the
Disney reworked the entire movie at the last minute to showcase let it go and
when the movie was released the entire soundtrack became a phenomenon
I've sat through the sing-alongs the theme parks to attest to it oh boy have
I and phrases like let it go and do you want to build a snowman became part of
the pop-culture lexicon so like no pressure right with this second movie it
is the soundtrack for frozen to as good as the first one well that's hard for me
to say because I didn't like the first one but I will tell you and I know some
of you are there with me maybe you started there with me maybe you got
there after listening to it on loop right for someone that you know that you
love that just couldn't stop but speaking it wasn't any things on
lope that's happened to me with this second movie because for the last few
days I saw the movie early last week well I've been listening to into the
unknown constantly there's a catch though I'm
partial to the panic and the disco cover from the end credits over the idina
menzel version used in the movie which you
could argue is the original oh I know some of you that will be blasphemous but
I likes what I likes and on that note here are my rankings of the songs from
frozen - and be sure to share your own rankings in the comments down below
I wonder how different ours will be especially because again as I said I did
not care for the music in the first film I don't totally care for the music in
this film to be honest with you but I think there are some winners and I think
that there's I think I'll uh I appreciate the songs in the soundtrack
more than I did the first movie and you're about to see why
alright so number one of course is into the unknown right as I just said this
one's stuck in my head I really like it and while I might prefer panic in the
disco singing I do love else's performance in the movie yes this
sequence is the one that I thought was so powerful and so well done I mean you
could you know I think it's this to me is this I've let it go was a little bit
like Broadway to me which is why some people like it but I thought
acting from Elsa here was probably as good as the acting in part of your world
which you know before Elsa there was Ariel when it came to when it came to
siren song sources and of course this is I'm getting to know the lyrics you know
I always say that I can't really discern the lyrics and the Lopezes music but
I've listened to this one enough and I you know I'm starting to be able to see
your line well why go to the sing-alongs now in
the new ones at least I'll have one song that I can participate in all right so I
thought this performance was so good the sequence that it really brought me on
board for the movie after what I felt was the super wonky first 10 to 15
minutes I thought maybe we were going down the same road as the first movie
but this one I was like ah this is something special
yes like all of us Elsa can really rock out in her pajamas when she's all by
herself and I've been I've been singing along
with the panic and the disco on maybe I should give the idina menzel on another
try I tried it I tried it once again and I was like nope still looked panic in
the disco better but it did remind me of idea of well it's not I did immense
Elle's performance of what the animators did and I continued to think it was very
impressive alright the number two is lost in the
woods Jonathan Groff and Kristoff got on the board and everyone for the first
movie was like why doesn't Kristoff have a song if he's voiced by Jonathan Groff
who was a famous Broadway singer and from Glee and from mind hunter that's my
Jonathan Groff I'm and also I liked looking on HBO I think he's very
talented I wish she worked more so anyway I have a love/hate relationship
with Kristoff I hate him because he's Kristoff but I love him because he's
Jonathan Groff okay anyway as I said it might spoil a review it's not so much
the song that I love here but the movie does the musical number in the parody of
a 90s music video I think that's so funny
Kristoff looking off in the distance all angsty leaning up against trees doing
that fist move right I'm not even sure if he did it but I think he I think he
did it Mon least in the movie once I'm going to be seeing it more but anyway it
was everything I didn't know that I wanted and it made me actually like
Kristoff a little bit more is the character he's a freeloader I'm sorry
all right number three the next right thing
now here what I like isn't so much the vocals or honest performance don't worry
it's good but what I like is the message of this song onna having lost both her
sister and Olaf Olaf disintegrating in her arms I know the movie got dark right
but she's alone trapped underground in a cave and she realizes 127 hours style
that there ain't nobody who's gonna save her but herself although it'll be there
uh you know it was nice that she was this comes from lieutenant Mathias is
pep talk to her well it look more of like how we pep talk himself right she
was like how did you do it how did you survive in the enchanted forest
you know as a prisoner and he was like well you just you know instead of
putting one foot in front of the other he says you just do the next right thing
he qualified it even so I mean honor it's honest a little bit of a mess which
I think is what makes her so relatable but she believed how do I know what the
next right thing to do is right but puttin one foot in spur the other
there's only one way to do that so but I still you know jokes aside I thought it
was really great so I guess it was you know maybe it was the performance maybe
it was even the vocals because while I was watching the song you know this
musical performance I could see that it was a really great message and I was
getting the feels even though I wasn't tapping my toes see what I'm saying
so yeah it's about picking yourself up and moving past tragedy and so for that
I have a lot of respect for this musical number I don't want to so much listen to
the song but I'm glad it's out there and I hope it helps people all right number
four when I am older this is Olaf's big number this time around he has a duet
which is coming up it's towards the bottom this list as you can see but this
one I have to say I I do prefer from the first movie in summer and the tool are
strikingly similar I think I think Olaf you know maybe you could use a little
more variety variety in his rep art a but the Rob is cute right and I like the
here I liked the visuals I thought it was funny and how it's used at that
moment in the story but clearly he was in danger right even if he was older he
would realize it and he was just lying lying to himself to make himself feel
better so I don't quite feel how this song would going forward would be
helpful to anyone I don't know why you'd want to sing on a
song that was a bunch of lies and not even in a funny way right or it's not
like the lyrics themselves or lies and that could be kind of funny it's just
it's a little bit of a nonsense song although I guess those can be popular
alright so number five show yourself now of course this is the song that
accompanies Elsa's stunning second transformation she has a second mutation
like a mutant if you're an x-men fan in the comics you know what I'm talking
about but anyway I thought I haven't her sing with her dead mom was a bit much
even for we love to kill off parents Disney I thought about that
you know Disney always telling off parents several times during this movie
as they kept kind of killing Elsa and honest parents again and again and again
it was a pout it was emotionally powerful though what do you pick so hard
come on Disney animation but also when in this during this musical number Elsa
was surrounded by the ice memories awake through her whole life like happier
times and then she was standing amongst those frozen memories all by herself in
a different cave from onna come to think of it well I was just like Elsa you
continue to make unhealthy choices I was like so you're gonna let alone in the
woods but with like frozen ice people to keep you company you're just you alone
with your memories singing with your dead mom I just couldn't even get into
this song because I couldn't get past the setup alright number six some things
never change this is the duet and I absolutely hated this song to me it was
the worst part of the movie and it gave me traumatic flashbacks to sitting
through the first frozen I was like is the whole movie gonna be like this I
mean it was just so awkwardly done to they just like ran right into it they
were like oh time to sing that's why you're here right and I was like I'm
here for story and cool power usage and stuff I'm actually here for the singing
last so the fact that they got into it so quickly and I thought it was so
horrible really made me nervous although I have to say I was fascinated by the
fact that you could see that Elsa and Anna because it's on a side note you
could see it the most in the sequence that they were wearing like high heels I
don't think I've ever seen that like in a Disney princess movie and also they
well this is a Disney Queen movie thank you very much but they not only had high
heels on but they looked stunningly realistic like actual high heels like
not like you know cartoon painted on high heels which is what they are but
like you I actually felt that Ohana and Elsa were
wearing high heels very nice ones too by the way all right sounded like they were
cool all right so number seven all is found
now this is the north old rail wall of Lola by that Elsa and Anna's mom sinks
to them when they were little and that they keep singing to each other as
adults which I also think it's kind of weird I'm like you're trying to take the
place of mom no one will ever sing this song again that's kind of how I feel
about it but I can't even remember how it goes I
remember the scarf but I can't remember how the song goes that's a little of an
impression it made on me so that's why it's dead last
that honorable mention those bigge of the North ultra I loved their chant
which is buried on the deluxe soundtrack like way in the back under reindeers
circle I don't even know if it took place during the reindeer circle because
it wasn't what he Christophe was trying to propose I don't know what was going
on there but it was beautiful and I can't wait to hear that piped into the
theme parks sooner rather than later it was great now interestingly there
also because I was looking for the I was looking for this chant i was like is the
chants not on the soundtrack so i was scrolling through it and way in the back
oh well actually in the middle because they put all the instrumentals and
instrumentals in the very back and the reindeer circles like way like last
place which is stupid but in the middle they have all these cut songs that
didn't make it into the movie on the deluxe album again and I think that's
very odd I don't that's never been done before
I don't think we've ever had there's four of them four cut songs now I by the
way just like the first frozen was significantly reworked at the last
minute because they wanted to showcase let it go and they were like maybe
Elsa's a hero or an antihero that's why they had to rework it then this time
around having to do with what happens to Olaf and I believe a couple other things
this one was also significantly reworked at the last minute so I wonder if they
even animated these songs is there animation to go along with these cut
songs I would like to see that but listening to them I couldn't get through
it to be honest with you so I'm curious did any of you listen to the cut songs
and if so are any of them worth the rest of us checking out alright so share your
