What did you think of the new songs?


Personally, the only one that I actually liked, was "Evermore". At least "Evermore" had a engaging and catchy melody. The rest of them were quite tedious, morose and dull.

I liked Evermore, but I felt like its placement threw off the pacing of the movie. The other two were alright.

Fair enough. I can see that they were unsuitable to the pacing, though I personally never thought of it as a big problem.

I loved the 3 new songs. Here is what I thought of all 3
1. How Does A Moment Last Forever: This song is sung 3 times in the movie. Kevin Kline sings it when his tinkering with the music boxes,Emma Watson sings it when she's in Paris with the Beast and finally Celine Dion sings the pop version. A very sentimental song. I liked it

2. Days Of The Sun: A heartwarming song sung by most of the cast pretty much on the Prince's background.

3. Evermore: My favourite of the three. Its such a heart-breaking song and Dan Stevens oh my god did he do the song justice he blew me away with his singing. The first few seconds of the song I was like okay why is Dan sounding like a tomodashi charcther for? and then once the song progresses it blew me away. I could listen to it a billion times over and over.

Josh Groban sings the pop version in the ending credits. Also a brilliant cover too of Dan Stevens song.

As an adult I can appreciate the new songs but I know it made the movie drag on for the younger ones who's minds started to wander with all of the extra singing.

The should have just remade the animated film and forget about live action.

reply

Not sure which Evermore is but I liked the one the Beast sang in the tower, the rest I didn't care for.

reply

That's "Evermore".

Then I guess I liked the Evermore song like everyone else, lol!

Evermore seems a lock right now for a Best Song nomination at next year's Oscars. And Dan Stevens has some voice as well.

I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here-https://youtu.be/AD4MjlFtI4k
