The 'Let It Go' & co. appreciation thread

Well hey, I never said it was bad, just overdone. The reason those melodies and chord progressions are so overused is because they have such broad mass appeal, so liking them doesn't mean you have bad taste.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

Here's my assessment: The first one gets quavery in loud parts, trying to go high instead when they can't. The second one is sung by someone deeper voiced and thus does the louder portions better. But I can see how you could like the first, it sounds shy and nice in tone, fitting Elsa. The latter one is done more confidently.

Anyway here's a nice violin cover. Simple, well-played, respectful.

So another violinist beat Lindsey Stirling to the punch. Pretty sad, in my opinion.

Well, I'm pretty sure Lindsey Stirling is on tour (or if not, she will be soon—I know I have tickets to see her in June).

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

Given that I haven't seen the movie and don't know her personality, I don't think that's the reason.

Look, I know this is kinda off topic but can I just go on a little rant about Lindsey Stirling? Look, I don't have anything against her music itself (it's violin mixed with below-average brostep, honestly nothing really special,) but my big problem with her is the fact that, somewhere along the way, the world decided to call her "progressive bass music" and give her heaps of praise. Now, this really pisses me off because she's absolutely nothing like the kinda stuff I would consider "progressive bass music" (like Culprate, Koan Sound, Teddy Killerz [don't be fooled by their stupid name, they do pretty swell stuff], Emperor and Joe Ford) and thus you see even less attention going to those guys (which already sucks cause I think they all do cool stuff yet barely anyone notices them.)

Also, now that I think of it, the wiki totally needs a Koan Sound page....

I've never heard anyone call her music "progressive bass music". I just thought people liked her because she's a pretty girl with a violin playing it over electronic beats.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

I just thought it would be a perfect opportunity for Stirling to do the cosplaying she likes to do.

Also, I don't think she'd "dubstepify" "Let it Go", she'd just cosplay as Elsa on a snowy mountain while playing the violin over a self-made backing track.

The same thing she did with "My Immortal".

@Stirling: I used to like it very much, but by the time she did "Phantom of the Opera" her schtick didn't feel so fresh anymore. Kinda lke Mako's rants by the end of Kill La Kill.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Brought tears to me eyes, he did.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Ever wanted to listen to Let It Go 50 times for 3 hours?

No.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

A longer answer: Hell no.

I thought so. Hilariously, someone on the Frozen page pointed out that this doesn't even include Idina's version, weirdly enough. Guess they assume we'd already have it.

4 cliched chords for 3 hours? I'd rather watch this repeatedly for 3 hours.

Let It Go EDM? Never really been an EDM guy. Not sure what to make it of it.

It's been a long time, but I better put this here:

The AOA has finally acknowledged Let It Go's clichéd chords (go to 11:45).

I heard it over the speakers at Kmart last week. It wasn't even an ad for the movie. Just played straight like it was part of their muzak. Between the other stuff they play that's usually 10-15 years old.

Ever imagined Eddie Vedder singing a Disney song?

Nah, me neither...

Please help out our The History Of Video Games page.

Oh wow, was his singing always that bad?

It was at its best in the first few PJ albums.

Which is why EVERY SINGLE Post-Grunge band wants to sing like Eddie Vedder.

And now for something different: "Let It Go" done in Traditional Japanese music, complete with a Jidaigeki version of Elsa.

Aside from the ear-splitting flute-like instrument in the intro, that was pretty interesting.

I posted this in another thread that is less visited.

This is Brian Hull's Disney Characters one, but with everyone lip synched.
