Random Poll of the Day! (66)

Post by Kor »

You gotta admit, this is pretty random  ;D

Now, what do I mean with "the best"? Best preformance, best singers and best language to your opinion.
Yes, I'm aware that most of you only know one or two languages, but you know what is the basic translation of the song, so the excuse of "I don't understand that language, so I don't like it" can't really work here. I listened to all of the options and I have liked several even though I don't know the language, and some languages/voices sounded better for this song than others. So please, try to not be too biased in your vote.

If some of you have never watched the movie, it's one of Disney's best, so you should watch it.

---------------------------

After inserting all the links (took some time), I have realized just how much it is to listen to (I've listened to everything while I was writing, so perhaps it'd be best to do something while listening). And that's it.

Hopefully I didn't forget any languages, and if I did, let me know.
Some vids have subs, some don't. Don't blame me, though  8)

As Eve said. The original is the best.

I chose:
-English because it's the original! ;D
-French because the voices and inflections are pretty awesome.
-Italian because the slightly different translation of the song was interesting.

Why am I the only one who voted Zulu? TWAS AWESOME!!! Those clicky noises.... how do they do that? O__o

And I chose German, Polish and Zulu.

I didn't want to choose the original, since it was the original, and I wanted to give the dubs some love. ^^

You forgot the croatian version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jldeDDgpMA#
Also, you only included European Spanish/Portuguese. What about the Latin American equivalents?

So I have to narrow it down to 3? Not an easy choice...
I liked the Polish version the best, the Italian and Russian versions are excellent as well.
Runners-up: Slovak, Czech, German, Hebrew. Don't really like the original version. Not bad, but easily topped by many others.

Italian was really good. Probably because of their operatic background.

Croatain was added. I actually tried to search for the latin ones, but all I got were the "multi-language" videos.

My thoughts exactly.
I think the hebrew and german versions are the best (incidently I was born in Germany and moved to Israel, so both languages are familiar to me, but I just feel these are very good. Usually I can't stand hebrew dubbed stuff, but the early Disney movies were well done), and my third option was the polish one.
Reference for the future: maybe I should exclude the original if there will be ever another poll like this one.
