Disney Singalong: 10 Celebrity/Song Combinations We’d Love To See

There’s always room for a third volume of the singalong show, with more musical guests taking part in a magical evening of entertainment. There’s plenty of singers and celebrities who are yet to take part, many of which could perfectly capture the soul of these famous songs. Some of the combinations of singer and song have been surprising thus far and there’s sure to be many more that will both surprise and thrill.

10 Hellfire: Lady Gaga

Hellfire is perhaps one of the darkest songs in the Disney library and carries with it a great number of social, cultural and religious themes not often seen within these family friendly films.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame villain song, originally sung by Tony Jay’s Claude Frollo and produced by Alan Menken, requires a deeper tone and a singer that is used to singing about dark topics. The emotional range of Lady Gaga means she’s perfect for this song.

9 Part Of Your World: Justin Bieber

Part Of Your World is, of course, the hero song of The Little Mermaid, after a young Ariel reveals that she would love to be able to walk amongst the humans.

Jodi Benson originally provided the vocals, but perhaps the soft tones of an acoustic Justin Bieber would be a completely different direction to take this powerful princess song in.

8 A Place Called Slaughter Race: Pink

Sarah Silverman’s Vanellope Von Schweetz just wanted to become a traditional Disney princess. She therefore takes on her own song about the game she wishes she could become a part of, Slaughter Race.

The song is a lot of fun and has many rock and pop elements that Pink could turn up more. This would be a completely new take on the Ralph Breaks The Internet song but one that could showcase why it’s so underrated.

7 Reflection: Lizzo

Reflection from Mulan was actually sung by Christina Aguilera in the past, but it would be interesting to see the song taken in a new direction. Lizzo is known for her fun personality and powerful music.

Although often associated with modern hip-hop, her voice would work beautifully well with this Disney classic. The combination of this singer and song would be unexpected but potentially brilliant to listen to. Lizzo’s acoustic work proves she certainly has the talent for this.

6 What’s This?: Panic At The Disco

The Nightmare Before Christmas is of a festive classic, although one who’s songs are often not covered. Perhaps this is the time to bring some holiday cheer to the world, even if it is a little early.

Panic At The Disco have turned their hand to many different genres. It would be fascinating to see what they do with this Danny Elfman hit, perhaps laying up this very bare and stripped back song.

5 Circle Of Life: Beyonce

Beyonce actually worked on Disney’s latest live action iteration of The Lion King. While she contributed to the soundtrack with some original music, she also used her vocal talents on hits like the love song, Can You Hear The Love Tonight.

The Circle Of Life really defines the movie though and it would be fantastic to hear Beyonce’s own take on the song. It’s difficult to imagine this becoming even bigger as a track, but Beyone could likely achieve that.

4 Shiny: Jemaine Clement And Taika Waititi

One of the highlights of Moana is Jemaine Clement’s quirky take on the villainous Tamatoa. The crab like creature sings a song about his love for all the shiny objects he has collected on his shell.

It would be criminal not to have Jemaine Clement return to sing the song, as some actors have done already for the specials. However, it would be fun to have his long time friend and collaborator, Taika Waititi provide backing perhaps with his guitar.

3 Lost In The Woods: Jonas Brothers

The Jonas Brothers recently reunited to bring out a new album, reminding the world just how popular this boy band actually was. Frozen 2 brought out a song that perfectly fits a modern boy band like this.

Perhaps combining retro elements much like the film, it would be fun to see Lost In The Woods, originally performed by Jonathon Groff, instead taken on by these talented brothers.

2 Man Or Muppet: Josh Gad

It seems like it has already become the tradition to have Josh Gad involved in the singalong in some way. He’s already performed songs from the Disney films that he has starred in.

However, he loves to have a bit of fun and no song is more emotional yet wacky than Man Or Muppet from The Muppets. Jason Segel and Peter Linz originally created a wonderful version but Josh Gad might be able to create something completely different.

1 Cruella DeVil: Emma Stone

Emma Stone is set to take on the villainous Cruella DeVil in the upcoming live action film Cruella. It would be great to see a classic from 101 Dalmatians revisited though.

Stone has already demonstrated her singing voice in La La Land, so it would be interesting to see her take on the song about the titular character she’s set to play; perhaps giving a hint of her performance.
