Top 10 Most Memorable Beauty and the Beast Songs

Of course everyone remembers this song. I mean, it’s literally the title of the movie. This is one of the most iconic moments in Disney history. This is the song where Belle and the Beast really fell in love. It really sets the mood of the scene. It’s supposed to be as romantic as possible. The overall tone really fits. And it helps that Angela Lansbury has an amazing voice. Combine that with the lovely instrumental background, you got a great love song. This song has been covered by many different people. It has really made a huge impact. This is one of the best Disney songs ever. One of the overall best scenes ever. I will admit that Emma Thompson did a pretty good job at singing as well. Still, it doesn’t compare to Angela Lansbury’s soothing voice. An absolute classic.

This song is brought up the most when talking about Beauty and the Beast. This is a very fun song. It’s the most energetic one in the movie. Lumiere is a fantastic character. He’s the reason why this song is as good as it is. The animation during the musical number itself really shows how much effort the animators put into making it really spectacular. If I were Belle in this scene, it would make me feel better about living in that castle. I also find it ironic that they show her a bunch of food yet she doesn’t eat anything. By the way, I tried that Grey Stuff at Disneyland and it is in fact delicious. This song is just so amazing. Both in the animated film and in the Broadway Musical.

Gaston is one of Gaston’s songs in the film. It was pretty much a way to give him confidence after he got rejected by Belle. It also tells us a lot about him. He is a tough guy who eats a lot of eggs and uses antlers in all of his decorating. This is a very entertaining song. Not only is it fun, but it also makes Gaston very interesting. It was at this point in the movie that I really started to appreciate him as a character. It perfectly describes the kind of character he is. The kind of character that we love to hate. The song has very memorable lyrics and a very memorable tune. Definitely one of the best songs in the movie.

I started losing interest in this song for my own personal reasons. I feel like I should share. In my vocal ensemble class, my professor let us audition for individual solos. We got to audition with any song of our choice. I decided to audition with the song Evermore from the live action Beauty and the Beast. Also, each of us had to audition in front of the class. So I printed out the sheet music, gave it to the pianist, and I started auditioning. Afterwards, the whole class applauded and there were even some that cheered. Even some students I’ve never interacted with before said I sounded amazing. Then the very next week, he announced the people who get to perform solos. I didn’t make it in. Yet he let in a girl whose voice cracked multiple times during her audition. I get the feeling the professor doesn’t like me since this isn’t the first time this has happened. I was even told that some students said I was robbed and should’ve made it in. Now every time I hear this song, ...more

I was gonna avoid putting reprises on this list, but the Belle reprise is so powerful that I just have to talk about. The entire scene itself is so amazing. She runs out into the fields and the music starts to slow down to emphasis how much she wants to find adventure. Paige O’Hara has a very beautiful voice. I actually feel like she really means it when she says she wants to have adventure. They completely ruined this moment in the live action film. Emma Watson cannot sing to save her life. She also didn’t show any emotion. She was practically just standing there and looked so wooden. It’s sad that an animated character feels more alive than a live actress.

This is in my top ten best Disney songs

Susan Egan is so talented. She’s great in everything she’s in. Even in Hercules, despite me not liking her character, she gave an excellent performance. Home from the Beauty and the Beast Broadway Musical is a great example of how talented she is. This song really should’ve been in the movie. It makes us feel even more bad for Belle. She gets trapped in the tower and supposedly won’t see her father again. We saw the relationship between her and her father early on. So of course we feel her pain here. They were so connected and she has to deal with not being able to see him anymore. The Broadway Musical really is excellent. I saw it 3 years ago. This song was a highlight for me.

Gaston pretty much gets two songs in the movie. Unlike the other one though, this one has a dark tone since it’s about Gaston and the villagers heading to the Beast’s castle to kill him. Up until this point, all the songs were pretty light-hearted. This one really changes the tone. At this point, we grew to love the Beast. Including Belle. So the thought of them getting rid of him is scary to imagine. And of course we know Gaston isn’t doing it to save the town. He’s doing it because he’s still in love with Belle and he knows that she has a crush on the Beast. The dark tone of the song is the reason I like it so much. It fits very well in this scene. Some people might consider the song “Gaston” to be the movie’s villain song, but I personally think this one is the true villain song.
