"Be Prepared" - The Lion King

Post by harryd2007 »

Hi all!! I'm new here and a big disney fan! Can't wait to chat to some of you guys!!

Anyway here's my attempt at covering "Be Prepared" - the song made famous by Scar in The Lion King!!

It's a bit different than songs i've done before, but I love it and thought i'd give it a go and try and get into the evilness of it!

Thought there wasn't really any better people to ask opinions from

I thought it was really good. :) Thats my favorite song from the Lion King. The evilness was there, but it wasn't too over the top. A lot of people sing it like their trying to hard, and I didn't hear that in your version of it.

Thanks very much!! I love the Lion King...I don't know what it is that appeals so much about this song, as soon as I hear it I can't get it out of my head!

Be Prepared and A Whole New World

Listening to you and watching you was some experience. You have a great voice, and you sing in this way that is wonderful. I don't know how to explain it. It's nice to listen to, and it makes good feelings. I got little chills. I love your eyes and your expressions. Watching you felt good. Even though you are playing a character who is bad. I mean, it wasn't sacry, I suppose it was like a combo of cute, funny, and bad. Like you're a lovable rebel. Like a villain who can charm people.

I listened to Whole New World, too. So now I know you also sing beautifully and magically.

Wow that's one of the nicest comments i've ever recieved - thank you so much, i'm so glad you enjoyed it!

I'm not a singer so I definitely know it won't be technically perfect, i've never had a singing lesson and don't do singing anywhere other than by myself! But I especially love singing disney songs so may try my hand at some more!

Here's the whole new world link to if anyone wants to watch

I'm slightly embarassed you aren't even that big on singing! Well, when someone makes something like that, and it is an art, I try to think of more than "it's good", and your videos made me think of what I said. And I liked listening to you, so, yes, please sing some more songs, and what you think fits your singing.

I hope some people know you updated with your really nice version of Whole New World. What's also nice is it's a fresh, very different take from the usual way it's done. But people on here don't always find the good stuff in threads

I definitly suggest auditioning for something, With proper singing lessons, you could be big. You have a great voice! Keep singing! :)

That was really great!

It's nice watching you. Your expressions are wonderful too.

We should all show some clips of ourselves. I wish I could see more faces of people on this forum.

Hey there, welcome to the boards!

And...WOW! You did a mighty good job there, that's actually one of my favourite songs in The Lion King too (if not the best). :D
