Agreed. He hit every note...and that's it. It sounded like a practice round not the actual performance. That was pretty awful.

Here's an interesting video:







I haven't seen the new movie yet but...


Old/New Aladdin: They both sound decent and they are very, very similar to me. They both have young sounding voices and that's appropriate for the role they are playing.


Old Jasmine: I like her voice. Very sweet but has some power to it. Nice tone.


New Jasmine: Holy shit. Somehow sounds just like the old one but better. Better tone and more power.


Robin Williams: Nice tone, very playful, shows his personality well. Not much power or skill but makes up for it with the delivery.


Will Smith: Horrible tone. Not much power. When he sings an extended note it's like nails on a chalkboard. Not enough of his personality comes through to make up for his poor singing. He's a crappy singer.


Of course that's just from the snippets I've heard and that's only considering the musical numbers. Maybe Will Smith does a great job in the role of the genie aside from the musical parts. But...I have no urge to see this. For me this was a cartoon that I watched with my kids. There were other cartoon movies from around this time that I thought were much better. The fact that Will Smith is in this remake does nothing for me.

Ok cool. Feel free to keep smugly spamming your irrelevant opinion about a Disney movie on a football website.

Seen your opinions on other movies... And I'll continue to ignore them lol

Will Smith was great and the movie was fun and a blast from the past.

I don't know of one movie ever where it was ruined by one part of one song. If that dictates whether you like a movie or not then I pity the friends and family in that person's life.

I don't care if Will Smith is bad in this because I will never watch it.

I liked this movie a lot. It was fun and entertaining and the performances were all very good. My wife especially loved the new Jasmine song. Will Smith was really good and I had no problem with his singing at all.

As with most of these remakes the only issue is the worlds the characters in don’t feel that lived in and seen sort of small but that’s not really something that bothers me much. It’s not all that important to the story or quality of the movie.
