If you've seen the movie, you may have fallen in love with the song "Let It Go" as much as I have. This anthem of self-discovery and self-awareness is awesome! Apparently, lots of other people think so too, since there are a ton of covers of it out there. I've posted a few of the coolest ones I've seen below. Listen to how they're all different people's interpretations of the same songs, and how different people's voices make it sound, well, different!
DRUM Card Opportunity: Email me your answer to the following prompt, using complete sentences and proper spelling/grammar. Which version of this song is your favorite, and why?
The original (sung by Idina Menzel, actress, starred in Wicked in its original Broadway run, the movie Rent, and more)
The Demi Lovato version (as sung during the credits)
This is a bit of a parody by Christina Bianco of other singers' voices, including Idina Menzel, Demi Lovato, Britney Spears, Alanis Morissette, Celine Dion, Kristin Chenoweth, Adele, Julie Andrews, Barbara Streisand, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, and Liza Minnelli. Listen to how Bianco alters her tone quality to make her voice sound like an exaggeration of the other singers.
This one is really sweet! It features Alex Boye and a children's choir in an "Africanized tribal cover."
This is a cover by thrash metal singer Caleb Hyles.
This one is a medley (combination of songs) of songs from Frozen sung (and acted out...haha!) by Pentatonix. Make sure you watch all the way to the end for outtakes!
The Piano Guys also did a cover of it, combined with Antonio Vivaldi's "Winter."
Sometimes traffic reporters (like Bob Herzog) like to spice things up a bit and sing their winter driving tips... Here's a funny video of him singing "Just Don't Go" - some good advice for when the roads are really nasty!
I don't know if you've ever used Google Translate before, but it's not always 100% reliable... For example, if you translate something from English to another language, then translate what it gives you back into English, it won't always show you what you started with (and is often hilariously off). Case in point - see how it totally changes the meaning of lots of the song!
Can we just talk about how adorable these kiddos are??
Jimmy Fallon is the new host of The Tonight Show, and he often has musical guests sing their songs with him and The Roots using classroom instruments. It's really neat to see, and it's great that he supports music!
Brian Hull did an impersonation video using Disney characters. I'm pretty sure most of them will be familiar to you. He does characters from Pirates of the Caribbean (Captain Barbosa and Jack Sparrow), The Lion King (Scar, Pumbaa, and Timon), Monsters Inc. (Roz and Mike Wazowski), Beauty and the Beast (Lumiere and Cogsworth), The Little Mermaid (Sebastian and Scuttle), Up (Dug and Alpha), The Jungle Book (Kaa), The Princess and the Frog (Ray), Winnie the Pooh (Winnie the Pooh and Tigger), and other Disney characters (Pete, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy). Just like Christina Bianco does in her video, he changes the timbre (pronounced "TAM-ber" - it's the tone color and aspects of sound that are different between voices and instruments, so you can hear the difference between a flute and a trumpet or between two of your friends talking) to achieve these impersonations (which are hilarious!). Enjoy!
