We all know Disney is a multinational empire (despite it being so commercial, I still love it.)
Have you heard Disney songs in other languages? What did you think of them? I actually really like hearing the multilanguage compilations on Youtube. Some of them reach 20 languages, which I think is crazy. Colors of the Wind Multilanguage (sounds beautiful in...most...languages) http://youtube.com/watch?v=AAahbOI9nvg (First batch of languages) http://youtube.com/watch?v=9oqqFka7OX8 (Second) Two Worlds Multilanguage (Phil Collins actually sang the English, French, Spanish, Italian, and German versions himself. Amazing! He got mixed reviews. Most native speakers said that he did it very well.) http://youtube.com/watch?v=dUIU4Gk1jR8 Just Can't Wait to Be King (this one is hilarious) http://youtube.com/watch?v=zKG4vl-nPj8 http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZCjzkNc_ZQQ (Asian multilanguage) High School Music 2 International (No offense to Indian people but the All for One Indian version is really funny. It's very Bollywood.) http://youtube.com/watch?v=lfe0A2Vjjh0 Sadly, Cantonese (my sorta second language) usually sounds bad. Mandarin is melodic enough to work with some songs. |

OMG, I've heard a Cantonese and a Mandarin remake of High School Musical songs. It was horrible. xD
And I've heard a Cantonese version of Reflection. That one was okay. |

I stay true to the English version of each song. I like being able to pronounce the lyrics I'm singing.
