DS Best Song From a Disney Movie
Hi everyone! This is Princess NightFox coming at you from a hospital bed in Wimbledon, I’ll spare you the details.
![]() We all love a bit of Disney don’t we? Is that a very firm ‘Yes!’ I hear? Great! So I thought what a splendid idea it would be to have a contest based on what DS thinks is the best original song to feature in a Disney movie. The rules are as follows: - It has to be an original composition from a film produced by Disney in other words the song has to be made specifically for the film - No cover versions we all know that the Riga Beaver performed a truly majestic cover version of ‘Let It Go’ during this year’s Latvian final although I’m afraid to say he isn’t eligible for this competition - No instrumentals kinda defeats the point of finding the best song don’t cha think? ![]() There are plenty of options available so if you’re really unsure what to send in it’s worth doing a little bit of research, there are some real hidden gems out there. For a list of films produced by Walt Disney Pictures please use this link for some reference (bear in mind they don’t all have songs in them!): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...Pictures_films I may not be able to confirm submissions until later tomorrow so do bare with me. Get sending and good luck! |

In the semi-finals a non-voters song will be penalised by 13 points. (1 more than the maximum you would have given someone else) |

There could be a few Eurovision stars bumped off if we go for that theme, Ani Lorak would have to go in hiding

How about best song from Africa/ Asia/ Central or South America? As they tend to be continents with less explored music. I don't mind having a go at hosting at some point.

I can just imagine the DSFE style 'Irish Granny Rule' rows already of people trying to put through artists because they spent 2 weeks on safari in South Africa as a child.

Oceania would be fun. I would like to see hidden gems from Vanuatu, Kiribati or Nauru. New Zealand needs to be banned there.

Phills Review
1. Dami Im Loved her Eurovision song, and this too. Can't believe she's only 5 days younger than me, thought she was in her 30's 2. Mirami Gets a bit repetitive but its alright 3. Kyla La Grange & Kygo This is al style and no subsistence. 4. Madison Avenue I remember this from the 90's, Think my sister had the single and wore out the tape playing and rewinding it all day every day, I like it. 5. Alan Walker Think this is what that Kyla La Grange song was trying to be be but failed. 6. Yohanna Entered this in the other thread last contest, I really like it, she just has one of the most amazing voices. 7. Fitz & The Tantrums wasn't a fan of this. 8. Little Mix Not the best Little Mix song but I still liked it 9. MNEK feat. Zara Larsson Not what I would enter if I was entering Zara. 10. Midigma Dorzhieva Can't make out if this is a Ptake of Wild Dancers or whether its a rip off. 11. Enrique Iglesias ft. Wisin Was expecting worse from Enrique 12. Lucius was OK if a bit screechy 13. Francine Jordi Enjoyed this very much 14. Oasis Couldn't sit through this 15. Rocky Sharpe & The Replays This was erm, well something, can imagine the BBC sending it. 16. Suzanne Vega This was a nice change of direction 17. Elle King I'm liking this 18. Ida LaFontaine Another good one 19. Astrid S We had this in the other thread, its decent enough. 20. Bear's Den This wasn't for me. 21. Rob Thomas He's like a low rent Ricky Martin 22. Nina Nesbitt This is a departure from what I'm used to hearing from her, I really like it. 23. Kylie Minogue This is OK, not really worth having Kyle again though. 24. Frances This is beautiful 25. Victoria Wood She was a comic genius 26. Yulianna Karaulova Really enjoyed this, nice find. 27, Thunderclap Newman Oh its the song from the British Gas adverts, its alright, pretty sure I know who's entered it 28. The Veronicas I don't think they will ever top Untouched but it a decent effort. 29. Ward Thomas This is OK. 30. Douwe Bob Prefer his ESC song. 31. Ewelina Lisowska Poprock always sounds good in Polish, nice end to the playlist |

Well we probably won't be seeing Turkey back next year - the country is in the middle of a military coup, with TRT right at the centre :/

I know it is a bit late but the playlist seems to only play the Dami Im song!
EDIT Don't worry it is the case with my tablet and not with my computer. |
