Multilanguage Disney

As some of you are aware, I absolutely adore Disney. Also, being quarter Italian and loving everything Japanese, I am also fascinated by Culture and languages.

I find it fascinating how Disney films are spread far and wide, and translated into so many languages. I swear it's in every country, or almost, at least.
I think it's amazing how we're all pretty much saying the same thing, just spoken in a different way. Language is such a complex thing but it's a topic I won't tire of.
Most importantly, I love singing songs in a foreign language.

I was in my room about an hour ago and I decided to stick on the Hercules soundtrack (YES, I have a Disney soundtrack. And?) Ricky Martin sings a Spanish version of "Go The Distance" (No Importa La Distancia) and I found it so beautiful. Plus his voice is very yummy too. But anyway.

I have decided to post some foreign Disney songs, but in the language that the film is set in. Underneath there will (hopefully) be a multilanguage video, so if you listen and there's a particular language you might like to listen to, you can always YouTube it!

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Last week sometime I was on my way to work - another boring, dull predicatble day at work - but as I made my way to the top of Southend highstreet towards the cinema I heard a really amazing, strong, adult sounding male voice.
And that's not it, folks - the guy was singing "I Can Go The Distance" (The Michael Bolton version, I might add) - the classic song from one of my all-time favourite Disney movies "Hercules".

I quite simply had to check it out and was rather surprised that this brilliant voice was coming from a young boy round about the age of 14, or so it seemed. Luckily I could spare a few minutes before I started work, so I filmed him (it's camera phone quality, sorry guys, but the audio is pretty decent).

Unfortunately it's not someone I could oggle over, but the teenage girls seemed to love him. A cute boy of 14 with a brilliant singing voice? I don't blame 'em to be honest. Why, if I were their age again I'd probably be screaming like they were too.

Oh well, back to drooling over Mika again, it is!

Have a listen and be marvelled. He has a great vibrato.
