Hey there, Hi there, Ho there,
I don't know wether this is really news (or wether I just managed to ignore that release) but it seems the management at Walt Disney Records once more thought that instead of releasing material from their vast collection of soundtracks that is not yet available it would be great to release a few more cover versions of songs we all already own a thousand of times just done by new contemporary artists - that new CD, for which the world must have waited all the time long, is called" DisneyMania" and should be available already according to the official website of WDR with the following tracklist:
1. "Some Day My Prince Will Come" Anastacia
2. "Under the Sea" A*TEENS
3. "You'll Be in My Heart" Usher
4. "When You Wish Upon a Star" *NSYNC
5. "Colors of the Wind" Ashanti featuring Lil' Sis Shi Shi
6. "I Wan'na Be Like You" Smash Mouth
7. "Part of Your World" Jessica Simpson
8. "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" Aaron Carter
9. "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" S-Club
10. "Hakuna Matata" Baha Men
11. "The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room" Hilary Duff
12. "Beauty and the Beast" Jump 5
13. "Kiss the Girl" no secrets
14. "Reflection" Christina Aguilera
15. "Circle of Life" Ronan Keating
Besides the fact that this is another CD with cover versions only there some interesting points to make about the CD:
-the A*TEENS perform "Under the Sea" here - they had a release of a bonus track on the princess soundtrack already, or should one say "song CD", and they have recorded the song played during the end credits of "Lilo&Stitch", so Disney is really pushing them;
-most of the recordings seem to be unreleased so far as I can remember - which makes me wonder: if they really recorded the tracks for this CD, why did they choose artists like Aaron Carter who basically has left the pop-stage or who at leastw asn't heared of for a long time (basically since his short gig in that broadway musical of Dr. Seuss which closed quiet early);
-there is a cover version of the "The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room" here - that is really rare as in most cases only the songs from the movies get the cover treatment and may be worth buying the CD, even so I'm really not sure wether I want to hear that cover version...
