Does anyone actually like the rendition of Disney songs done by artists outside of the movie?

Cleopatra's cover of "Get It Right Back" is so much better than it has any right to be, and absolutely shits on the original recording.
That's the only one I can think of though.

This is the song that immediately came to mind when I read the thread title. This version of the song is just fucking awful compared to The Rock's version.
What pissed me off was the second rendition of a Disney song in the movie. In Moana, the beautiful "How Far I'll Go" was a song to remember. Then the credits played and it was some shitty pop version.
I strongly prefer the in-movie versions, but I usually still appreciate the alternative pop versions.
Demi Lovato's Let It Go was exceptionally awful though.

I'd argue that Voctave does Disney covers BETTER than Disney does themselves. Though it's possibly a little unfair as many of the singers work at Disney World.
Actually misunderstood what the thread was asking for, so I will change my answer to the one already given in the thread.
Namely, the radio version of "A Whole New World".

My argument is just that Lea Salonga is amazing and none of these other vocalists can match her.
Well you're wrong in the case of Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle.

I actually love christinas reflection but its so different from the film version that it may as well be its own thing
Otherwise most are inferior.
Shout out to when you believe even though its dreamworks. Mariah and whitney made one hell of a track

Yup. This and Elton's version of "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" are fantastic.
Been awhile since ive seen the movie but I dont think that song was in the movie its from the musical. Still a great song though
Not supposed to be funny?
I think so too ^__^
Not better than the original but better than the movie its attached to, so I guess that follows the rules.
I likes it.
I likes it.
First thing I thought of. I like her rendition better than Menzel's.
I love Idina and Defying Gravity will always be my no1 but man her voice has not aged well
Delete that OP, the disrespect to Peabo Bryson and Celine Dion's Beauty and the Beast is unnecessary.
For real, I actually like a chunk of them. Circle of Life and I Just Can't Wait to be King by Elton John are fantastic complements to the movie versions, as well as others mentioned here.
Michael Bolton's Go the Distance feels like the bookend to the movie version.

Anything is better than Bette Midler's cover of "God Help the Outcasts" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame:

I have a couple of fantastic albums of cover versions, some downright weird. While it's not exactly a movie, the one that absolutely stands out is Tim Curry's ridiculously camp take on The Ballad Of Davy Crockett.
One from a similar album that I've also been very fond of is Louis Armstrong's take on Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo.

Agreed. I don't like the pop version of Disney songs for the most part. It is kinda strange how worse off they are, and in a way, why bother when the film version is so good anyway? I'll stick to the movie versions.
Elton John's Can You Feel The Love Tonight and Vanessa William's Colors of the Wind are fantastic covers.
someday was great. can you feel the love tonight also.
lea salonga is just great... a whole new world... rngghh
