When I was faced with the decision of what to play during my wedding, it was easy- डिज़्नी प्यार songs. I wanted to incorporate डिज़्नी into my wedding (which is in December), but not have it be in-your-face या cheesy, so that was my decision. (I'm also having a glass slipper as a cake topper.) :) So while planning my list, I realized that I have very specific प्रिय when it comes to DP प्यार songs, so I thought I'd share them with you. Enjoy!

10) A Whole New World



Man, does this song get on my nerves. I’m sure it was groundbreaking when अलादीन was released, but this song is so cliché and so overdone at this point that the song has been put on my ‘do not play under penalty of death’ list. I don’t hate the song itself- as far as the technical quality and performance of the song, it’s a pretty good song. But because of my excessive exposure to it, and because of how लोकप्रिय the song is, even outside the context of the movie, ‘A Whole New World’ is kind of the ‘Call Me Maybe’ of the डिज़्नी universe.

9) Ma Belle Evangeline



I’m one of the 9 people in the world who actually enjoys The Princess and the Frog, and I’m one of the 4 people in the world who actually really likes the music. I like that it runs the gamut between Broadway, gospel, New Orleans jazz, and good old fashioned दिखाना tunes, and as someone born and raised in the South, I understand and appreciate the locally-focused संगीत और than some people. However, Ma Belle Evangeline isn’t the best song in the bunch. I प्यार the way it is sung, and I appreciate the unfettered romance behind it, but it is still a little passionless. I would have preferred for Naveen and Tiana to have had a प्यार song of their own, like on the soundtrack, rather than ‘crash’ a song sung द्वारा someone else, to someone else.

8) If I Never Knew You



I think as far as passion goes, this song tops them all. There’s a longing, a yearning in it that is lacking in other songs, and I प्यार that it is a song tinged with sadness. It सूट्स the tone of Pocahontas and makes the song memorable. However, it’s this low on the सूची for two reasons: for one thing, it wasn’t actually featured in the movie, so most people don’t even realize that this is a legitimate song. And two, I guess due to the time period and the fact that डिज़्नी was trying to be और ‘cool,’ the song is so heavy with 90s’ clichés that it’s almost unbearable now. The construed keyboard, the mechanical syncopation, and the breezy ‘Peabo Norman had a baby with Michael Bolton’ गाना just grate on my nerves. Therefore, ‘If I Never Knew You’ is pretty close to the bottom of the list.

7) Once Upon a Dream



This is a song that I find cute, but, much like the rest of the movie, kind of bland and soulless. I know a lot of people enjoy the effervescence and sweetness of it, but even as a child, it wasn’t a song I particularly caught on to, and now, as an adult, I find myself humming along, but not really being invested. It isn’t a bad song, but it’s just a bit too light and frothy for me.

6) So This is Love



‘So This is Love’ is the quintessential प्यार song for me. Soft, elegant, restrained, and grandly romantic, much like the rest of ‘Cinderella,’ it is the most perfect विवरण of what falling in प्यार is like, in my opinion. In fact, when I get married in December, I’ll be walking down the aisle to ‘So This is Love’ rather than the wedding march, because I प्यार the song, and because I hate the wedding march. (It’s scary and it sounds like death.) While it isn’t the song I immediately jump to on my iPod, I think there is a timeless feel about it, and that’s what makes सिंडरेला such a memorable movie and character. While it was created in a very defined period, it isn’t so swallowed in 1950’s culture that it sounds foreign now, unlike some of the other songs on this list.

5) I See the Light



'I See the Light' is a perfect example of the negative side of what I discuss in the पूर्व article. It has such a ‘late 2000’s’ feel, particularly Mandy Moore’s pretty, but breathy and fake-ish voice, that in 20 years it will probably seem painfully silly. It is almost too modern for a fairytale film, as are many of the other songs. However, there are some redeeming factors that set the film apart from the others below it- Zachary Levi. His voice is so smooth and so full of emotion that the rest of the song is forgiven for its sins. He really brings the song to life, and for that reason, and that reason alone, I like ‘I See the Light’ और than the songs before it.

4) Something There



I think 'Something There' is a good example of a song that is content to be what it is. It’s light, its happy, it sounds intrigued and friendly, and it perfectly sets the tone for the remainder of the film. There’s a happiness here that is missing in lots of प्यार songs- lots of songs focus on प्यार that is passionate, sweeping, all consuming, या dangerous, but very few songs focus on the simple joy of spending time with someone आप प्यार and trust. Belle and the Beast are beginning to be friends, not lovers, and that’s my प्रिय part of the song- it feels so honest to what real प्यार is.

3) One Song



Remember how I talked about ‘So This is Love’ having a timeless appeal? I feel the same way about ‘One Song.’ While it is और period-centric and seems और dated than ‘So This is Love,’ there is nonetheless a classic beauty to it, a simple, star-struck ode to the first prick of Cupid’s arrow. The song is short and sweet- a little declaration of devotion, serenaded द्वारा a man who warbles और than really sings, but it’s pulled off nicely, and the song tends to get stuck in my head when I’m feeling particularly in प्यार with my fiancé. It’s a sweet song that proves आप don’t need a full 3.50 मिनट song to convey your feelings for your loved one.

2) Beauty and the Beast



For me, 'Beauty and the Beast' embodies all the aspects of प्यार I like the most- friendship, passion, romance, sincerity, sacrifice, and personal humility. The संगीत is understated, but moving, and the simple, minimal गाना द्वारा Angela Lansbury is about a real, heartfelt love, not a grand, breakneck romance. As far as technical music, i think Beauty and the Beast is the best डिज़्नी प्यार song, and I can't wait to feature in my wedding. (Fun note: My fiance and I consider 'Beauty and the Beast' to be 'our movie,' because he says I'm so much like Belle. Once, he even bought me a $100 पुस्तकें a Million gift card because he "couldn't afford a पुस्तकालय yet." :)


1) किस the Girl



I know this is weird as far as प्यार songs go, but I absolutely ADORE ‘Kiss the Girl.’ I प्यार the chorus of fish, I प्यार the music, I प्यार the anticipation, and I प्यार the relatable nature of the song. Everyone has been in the situation where there is obvious romantic tension in the air, and there are two lovebirds who simply haven’t found the courage to express their emotions about it. For reasons I cannot fully explain, ‘Kiss the Girl’ is my प्रिय डिज़्नी song ever, and it is the song that I will be playing in my ceremony during the ‘kiss the bride’ sequence and during our grand exit.

So there आप have it- Phantomrose89’s प्रिय डिज़्नी Princess प्यार songs.
