POLL: April Mayhem - the Elite Eight final poll! #1 Under the Sea vs #2 You'll Be in My Heart
First of all - the poll for Beauty and the Beast and I'll Make a Man Out of You from yesterday wasn't working after the 24 hour mark. El Jefe unlocked it for about an hour which was enough time for Beauty and the Beast to pull ahead of I'll Make a Man Out of You, which I am declaring the winner by 2 votes. Any complaints with these results should be sent via BM to El Jefe. Donny, if you are on this board, I apologize that El Jefe done you dirty.
Third- this the final matchup of the Elite, which means stats will be posted tomorrow. The two matchups of the Final Four will be Thurs, with the championship match on Friday. Then we will finally know which Disney song is the greatest of all time.
Under the Sea - From the 1989 film The Little Mermaid, composed by Alan Menken with lyrics by Howard Ashman. It is influenced by the calypso style of the Caribbean which originated in Trinidad and Tobago, as well as reggae, which originated in Jamaica. The song was performed in the film by Samuel E. Wright. The track won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1989, the first for a Disney film since 1964. Additionally, the song won the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media in 1991.
The album has achieved multi-platinum sales and won the Grammy Award for Best Recording for Children. The album includes recordings of the music that won the Grammy for Best Instrumental Composition Written for a Motion Picture or for Television ("Under the Sea"), the Academy Awards for Best Original Score and Best Original Song ("Under the Sea") and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score.
You'll Be In My Heart - A song written and performed by English drummer and singer Phil Collins from the 1999 film Tarzan. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, and became Collins' last US top-40 single, peaking at number 21. Early into production, directors Kevin Lima and Chris Buck decided not to follow Disney's musical tradition by having the characters sing and instead, Phil Collins perform the songs in the film serving as the narrator. The choice of Collins, a popular and well established adult contemporary artist, led his ability to write and record the five original songs. This "ballad" is one of the original songs he wrote for the film, and he ended up also performing this song as well.
