I felt that moving "I Dreamed a Dream" to after Fantine has truly lost everything, rather than after she gets fired, makes her pain and anguish feel more palpable and heartbreaking.
I agree with you completely! Also, it totally destroyed the poignancy of "Lovely Ladies." Furthermore, I felt that Anne Hathaway's performance was WAY too over the top.
I would have chosen Samantha Bank's "On My Own."
I
Goosebumps everytime Pippin sings his song! (And rising resentment against eating tomatoes). Such a powerful scene!
I, objectively, understand why they filmed the steward eating the way they did, but I really could do without those closeups/sounds.
That song is pure goosebumps, I agree.
Lady Gaga on A Star is born and Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman singing Come what May onMoulin Rouge
I have to give a spot to Moulin Rouge. Christian (Ewan McGregor) and Satine(Nicole Kidman) singing "Come what may" broke me.
I disagree. In my opinion, "Roxanne" saved that movie.
Both come what may and Roxanne just have me sobbing. It's such a great movie
The Greatest Showman’s songs hit hard. Especially *This is Me.* That song helped strengthen me in my saddest moments, reminding me that being myself isn’t a bad thing.
Same here
I always get choked up when it starts but once the chorus hits I sing along and it makes me feel like I can do anything
I honestly thought Never Enough was gonna make the list too.
And another thing about "This is Me" garbage song; that awful song does not strengthen anyone in its saddest moments, and again it's awfully forced, bland as well as stupid and hollow.
I definitely agree with you “ This is me” really hits me hard being a girl that has Downs Syndrome and a cancer survivor. this song just expresses what I have been through I am Brave, I am bruised, I am who I’m meant to be, This is me. A girl that was born with Downs syndrome and battled Leukemia. that’s why this is a emotional song for me
Poor thing… how’s that therapy going? Make sure you don’t skip any sessions… You wouldn’t want to miss an opportunity to open your heart, after finding your brain@@ajpat9620
"Let the sunshine in" from Hair. It's still an absolute goosebump song for me today.
still brings me to tears
I’m giving it to Olivia Newton John in Grease when she did “Hopelessly Devoted To You” when she played Sandy in Grease after her and Danny’s first breakup . Also John Travolta in Grease singing Sandy
"La Marseillaise" from Casablanca should have been #1! The character Yvonne, the woman shown singing in close-up, along with the character Emil, her real-life husband, and many of the extras in the scene were true-life refugees who had barely escaped France before the Nazis invaded and occupied the country. Casablanca was released at a point during WWII, where it was far from a given that the forces of good would prevail. It just doesn't get more TRULY emotional than that.
I always forget the movie was released during the war
I still get choked up listening to Over the Rainbow because it reminds me of my late grandmother ❤❤❤❤❤
Me too! We played it at her funeral. I actually have a pair of Dorothy shoes I wear to remind me of her. She always wore red shoes, so I had to buy them. They're the shoes I wear most regularly.
"I have to go home." "You ARE home." The Tiny Dancer sing along always warms my heart, seeing all of the characters put aside their various hang ups, and singing together.
The Edge Of Night from Return Of The King gets me everytime as Faramir sacrifices himself
Hairsprays "I know where I've been" made me so emotional
Oh yes!!!
Love that song! Queen Latifah does an amazing job!
Please MsMojo, please do a Top 10 List of Original Songs from Movies Based on Musicals! You have no idea how long I’ve been requesting this and I’m sure a lot of your subscribers, as well as musical fans, would LOVE to see that list.
Over the rainbow was my mom's favorite song. Now that is where she lives. Praise the Lord.
I’m so sorry, but you will see her again🩵✝️
You missed Lady Gaga's "Ill Never Love Again" at the end of A Star Is Born (2018), such a heartbreaking moment...
My mom can't watch that part. That movie came out not long after her boyfriend (the best she ever had in my opinion) had died from a heart attack. She was still in mourning and I had forgotten how the movie would most likely end (I had seen the Judy Garland version) so I failed to warn her. For weeks after I would hear that song playing and my mom crying from inside her room. I would run in and turn it off. Then hold her. Sidenote, I'm an adult who lives with my mom so I could handle her sadness.
David was not perfect but he was perfect for her. I truly miss him.
I thought it was gonna be number 1 tbh
@@kataw0404I first heard it right after my husband died in 2019, and…same.
ew
Yes!
I would have included Irene Cara singing "Out Here On My Own" from Fame. The audience actually applauded when she finished. I also remember "Sista" and "God is Trying to Tell You Something" from The Color Purple as being very emotional moments.
Yeah, they need to do a part two because I cannot make it through "God is Trying to Tell You Something" without breaking down in tears. If Ms. Mojo hasn't seen it (in the original Color Purple) they need to enlighten themselves.
How could you skip The Rose from the movie of the same name
In Casablanca ~many of the extras in the Marseillaise scene where European who had fled Nazi run Europe to come to America. These people sang from the heart & provided an emotional context way past the words of the script.
Watching that performance from Jennifer Hudson it's no wonder that she won the Oscar that year, in her _first ever_ movie no less! That win was made even sweeter for American Idol fans because of how Simon Cowell had told her she just didn't have what it takes to make it in the industry (I don't remember the exact wording but that was the gist)... and then literally the first thing she does outside of AI is win a damn Oscar! 😂
YES!!!
The "I'll Cover You (Reprise)" from Rent
Tears. Every time.
@@RitsusDarlingGirlSame. Jesse L Martin can wring the emotion out of that song, and then when everyone joins in. 😭
They ALWAYS snub Rent in these. Wonder why. I have my suspicions, but I'll let everyone draw their own reasons
Same. I cry hysterically every time I hear that song! Even in the stage production of Rent.
Yes!!!
I’m dying that The Edge of Night is on this list way to go Billy
"Non nobis Domine" from the 1989 production of Shakespeare's "Henry V" with Kenneth Branagh. 35 years later and i get chills every time i watch (and i still watch a lot!)
OMG, I love this song so much! Patrick Doyle is brilliant, and really knocks it out of the park.
Love Patric Doyle's work
All good songs. I would also add-
Papa Can You Hear Me from Yentl, Mama Come Find Me from 1776, the reprise of A Place For Us from West Side Story, and since it’s my favorite musical of all, nearly all of the songs from Les Miz are goosebump material.
The song from 1776 is titled Mama Look Sharp, and the one from West Side Story is Somewhere.
“Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again” from Phantom of the Opera.
And I'm telling you, and, you, and you, your gonna love meeee!!!! 😂
Shallow from A Star is Born - you feel her hesitation build into confidence ❤
“I’d Give My Life For You” and “Why, God, Why” from the recorded-from-stage-for-the-big-screen showing of Miss Saigon. Phenomenal.
Ann Hathaway in Le Mis was so incredible, the pain, anger and desolation were expressed so well and beautifully done, I always cry. All the songs and performers in Le Mis were great, but I Dreamed a Dream is the best.
Diana Ross should have been an honorable mention. Her rendition of the song "Home" is emotional and powerful. For those of you who don't remember it was for the film THE WIZ (1970s remake).
I'll say "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story" at the end of Hamilton crushes me. I'd throw "This Used To Be My Playground" by Madonna in A League of Their Own still chokes me up like nobody's business, but i think that was just played in the movie at some point
I've been reading through all the comments. Your terrific list has accomplished the goal: everyone is remembering those songs, those moments that just rocked the soul. No list like this would be complete without (you know - THAT song) 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
'Why' from tick, tick... BOOM! should have at least been an honourable mention!
I am astounded 'To Sir, With Love' is not part of this list...
yes, many omissions..
I’m a simple man, I see This is Me, I click…….
……And I am really agitated with the fact that it’s THAT low on this list!!!!!!
Frankly speaking, "This is Me" song does not even belong on this list, for that song is hollow, awfully forced, stupid and less intelligent, and worse, it's full of woke messages as well.
And overall, the "This is Me" song is total garbage💩💩🗑️🗑️🗑️💩🗑️🗑️🗑️💩, all of it.
You’re puking your crap all over the place aren’t you?? [🥱Poor thing@@ajpat9620
@ajpat9620, I respect that you have your opinion. This song hits for a lot of us, though, so please respect that. I would not knock any choices you might make, because those songs hits for you.
@@villavillain No, it doesn't. That song wasn't inspirational and doesn't makes an impact.
Furthermore, that song was downright awful and mediocre, all of it. Like, you can't deny the entire truth of how awful that song and the movie was.
NEVER ENOUGH!! Should be on list as #1
"This is Me" is not just a song, it's a religion! ♥
You’re forgetting Mike Myers when he and Dana Carvey sang Bohemian Rhapsody.
So emotional
You're not wrong. Hilarity is an emotion. :)
As Long As He Needs Me from Oliver! 1968 Musical performed by Shani Wallis should of been added, her emotional and dramatic performance was so good, she was robbed of an Oscar in my opinion.
Also the ending/final scene to the musical Carousel when the cast perfom You'll Never Walk Alone. All the cast voices together sounded amazing. Just a great end to a movie musical.
I still cry whenever I hear that song (watch that scene).
Somewhere over the rainbow. Happy saturday afternoon, Rebecca. Take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
Lalaland should on the list ... at least on the honorable mention
The one song that gets me all the time is "I know where I been" from Hairspray!
I love the greatest showman, no doubt about it
The Greatest Showman is nothing but a total garbage🗑️💩🗑️💩 musical, just like 2019's Cats. Both of these movies are a total disgrace and a travesties to the musical film genre.
@@ajpat9620 that not nice
@@adriangarcia543 Can't you not see?? The Greatest Showman movie and its songs are completely awful and worse, are full of woke garbage messages, all of it.
That movie, alongside with 2019's Cats, are a total disgrace and a travesties to the musical film genre.
Maybe you need to wake up a little bit… Are you turkeys yelling about “Wokeness” - better and twisted.@@ajpat9620
No mention of I'll cover you reprise?? I cry every damn time!
"Someone's Watching Over Me" from Raise Your Voice is absolutely gut-wrenching! If you do another list like this, please add that.
My Man by Barbra Streisand killed me. Also Emma Stone’s audition in La La Land had me having trouble breathing, I was so emotional.
As the Wizard of Oz was being edited into its final cut there were some MGM executives who wanted to cut “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from the film!
So nice to see Billy and Edge of Night get the recognition they deserve. I'd have put Empty Chairs at Empty Tables over I Dreamed a Dream though.
I miss "The Hanging Tree" from "Mockingjay 1". It captures the whole devastating situation yet ingnitrs the fire to fight for freedom. Originally not planned to be sung by Lawrence her emotional performance made it even more impactful.
Where's "I'll Never Love Again" or "Always Remember Us This Way" form A Star Is Born?
"I need to go home, you are home". Fav line from Almost famous.
I think many Moulin Rouge songs should also be considered
I'll add Cher's 'You Haven't seen the last of me' from Burlesque, and Diana Ross' 'Home' from The Wiz. Madonna's 'You Must Love Me' from Evita is also good.
I was looking for someone who mentioned Cher. It has to be on any list like this one.
I can't believe once again you left Lady Gaga out of the list 🤔. When there's no way "I'll Never Love Again," at the end of "A Star Is Born," is not even in the Honorable Mentions. Be serious 😒.
Absolutely hands down, Over the Rainbow!
Lady Gaga’s I’ll never love again from A Star is born.
I believe it was on the musical "Joseph and the amazing ...", cannot remember the name but was the song that the wife of the pharaoh sang when their first son died... remember hearing it in the theatre first time and could not stop my tears... the singer was amazing transmitting the feeling of loss for that little innocent life.
Edge of Night is so wonderful!
While I happy you mentioned Falling Slowly from Once (a HUGELY underrated film), I am a little sad you left out Come What May from Moulin Rouge
Bjork's "Next to last song" from Dancer in the Dark should be number 1. Absolutely devastating.
Blackbird from Across the Universe always pulls my heart strings.
Lady Gaga at the end of a Star is Born.
I feel like leaving out Seasons of Love from Rent and It's Quiet Uptown from Hamilton is a crime.
I rented the "Rent" video from blockbusters and the opening scene just blew me away, I kept rewinding and rewinding.
Mandy Moore performing "Only Hope" from A Walk To Remember (2002).
Waterworks. Every.Time
personally, I would include empty chairs at empty tables by Eddie Redmayne.
"Evermore" from the live action Beauty and the Beast (2017). I love that the Beast sings it after letting Belle go. It's a very emotional song, as you watch the Beast make his way up the tower stairs, until he comes out onto the balcony of the tower, singing , as the camera turns and you can see Belle in the distance below, riding through the gate, leaving his castle. I get emotional over that scene, cause you know that the Beast's heart is broken.
It's too bad that Emma Watson could have been out-acted by a plank of wood in that movie. I enjoyed Dan's performance but I've never liked Emma in that role. I still scratch my head at why on earth she was cast as Belle when she couldn't even sing. I noticed that on the next casting call for Aladdin, one of the _requirements_ was being able to sing.
I'm a huge Aladdin fan so I was really happy with how the live action version turned out, but at the same time I felt so bad for the Beauty and the Beast fans because that whole movie felt so half-assed to me. 🫤
@@kriscynical It wasn't Emma Watson's fault. She wanted to record the songs in a sound booth and lip sync to the songs throughout the movie. It was the director who made everyone sing, including her, throughout the movie. She even said that she couldn't sing. And the director made her do it anyway.
@@LovesDisneyBeast84 Where did I say it was her fault she was cast in the role? That was my point. She shouldn't have been cast in the role if she couldn't sing.
I’m sure you could do much better… Why didn’t you audition for the part… You would’ve been perfect, I’m sure…
(I’ve got to get off line… You people are making me as negative, bitter, and angry as you are lol
@@kriscynical
Have a good day everyone:)
@@kelleylegault5115 ...what? lol
If you think every differing opinion is "bitter" or "angry" then yes, you _definitely_ need to get offline for a bit and touch some grass because _yikes on trikes_ are you ever being hyperbolic over something _really_ silly. If my comment upset you _that much_ then you definitely need to step away.
Conversations are really boring if everyone is always in complete agreement about everything. People have different opinions about things, both positive and negative, and... that's okay. You can express dislike for something without it meaning you're miserable or frothing at the mouth.
So... you can read whatever Big Feelings™ you want into what I've said and that's fine. I'm just having a civil conversation. 🤷♀️
Have a day. 👋
all PERFECt choices! though I am surprised there wasn't even an honorable mention for Sateen in Moulin Rouge
Wish they’ve included The Old Therebefore from Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes🎶
"Audition" won Emma Stone her first Oscar, I can't believe you forgot about that scene! Also honorable mention to the last rendition of "Lost Stars" by Adam Levine in Begin Again
the scene from Casablanca gets me everytime. That's my #1
This is me. From the Greatest Show Man
"This is Me" song from The Greatest Showman = both that song, along with the other songs and that movie were total garbage, bland, awfully forced, hollow and stupid, and less intelligent at the very worse.🗑️🗑️🗑️💩💩🗑️🗑️💩💩🗑️🗑️💩💩🗑️💩💩🗑️💩💩🗑️🗑️💩
Jack's Lament from the Nightmare Before Christmas 💀
I love Judy Garland meet me in St. Louis, have yourself a Merry Little Christmas. That's my sister's all-time favorite
"Que Sera Sera", Doris Day.... "Never on Sunday", Melina Merkouri,... "Heroes", Debra Byrnes,... "I'm Easy", Keith Carradine,... Olivia Newton, “Hopelessly Devoted To You”... 'Evergreen', Barbra Streisand... 'Beautiful Maria of My Soul', Arman Asande... big omissions.
Commenting so I can keep track of this list.
Wow these songs are great
Not with "This is Me" song from The Greatest Showman, for that song alongside with the other songs of that movie are purely woke garbage, and are bland, awfully forced, plastic, and hollow.
And even The Greatest Showman movie is also garbage.

5:34 so happy to see Edelweiss in here ❤
Judy Garland "The Man thatgot Away " A Star is Born"
This is me is one of the many songs that I call my anthems. I was born with a rare genetic disorder that makes me look different, and sometimes I get made fun of because of it. This is me reminds me to be courageous, and not allow people to get to me.
Edelweiss is just plain beautiful.
I won't argue.
I’ll Cover You (reprise) from Rent should’ve made this list 😢
Seasons of Love from RENT should have been included
this is me so uplifting and motivational very inspiring I will always love iconic classic romantic song ever no matter who sings it
Jennifer Hudson gave me serious goosebumps. ❤❤❤❤❤
So proud you included The Edge of Night, it literally had me in tears at the movies. I didn't even like the son, but having his father kill him off (almost), mixed with this song, made me love him and feel sorry for him. My hobbit sung that song!
*MY FAVORITES:*
"This is Me" - The Greatest Showman
"I Dreamed a Dream" - Les Miserables
"I Know Where I've Been" - Hairspray
"Hopelessly Devoted to You" - Grease
"Over the Rainbow" - The Wizard of Oz
"Audition" - La La Land
"I Will Always Love You" - The Bodyguard
"Evermore" - Beauty and the Beast
"Let It Be" - Across the Universe
"Moon River" - Breakfast at Tiffany's
"And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" - Dreamgirls
As much as I love "The Music That Makes Me Dance" (and I do, it's my favorite number in the show), a part of me will always be a little bummed that they didn't add "My Man" to the latest production of "Funny Girl." Maybe it's too difficult to perform at every show. (I'm basing that off of Lea's comments, it's not a knock at Lea or Julie's capabilities), but it still would have been cool to see live.
WHERE'S WHEN SHE LOVED ME FROM TOY STORY 2????? BRING IN DOC OCK TO PUT THAT SONG HERE!!!!!!!!!
She literally says at the beginning of the video that it’s a list of MOVIE CHARACTERS WHO SING.
My favourite is Mr Cellophane from Chicago. Brilliant…..
A great list, but Edelweiss makes it while Casablanca's rendition of La Marseillaise does not? Not only is the song truly emotional (many of the singers were actual refugees from Europe) but the courage and solidarity represented in the "battle of the anthems" still resonates and applies today. I really do not understand why Ms Mojo loves The Sound of Music so much. It seems to be on so many of its lists. I would suggest "Somewhere" from West Side Story as a worthy entry if you make another list.
How about Wind Beneath My Wings from Beaches? ;-)
After Jennifer Hudson sang and I tell you I’m not going, the audience spontaneously gave her a standing ovation. I’ve never seen that.
"Don't Rain On My Parade" Barbra Streisand.
My daughter suggests trading Les Mis songs - *Bring Him Home.*
From RENT - *I'll Cover You* sung from the heart by Jesse L. Martin
From Fiddler on the Roof - Tevye's heart-rending song for his lost daughter, *Chavelah*
This is me is a great song
"This is Me" - Not a great song at all and, rather, it is an awful song that is awfully forced, bland, stupid, and hollow. Worse of all, that awful garbage song is full of woke garbage messages.
@@ajpat9620Just like clockwork, here he is pissing his pants about This Is Me again! 🤣🤣🤣
I totally agree with #1
Rent had so many songs that could’ve made this list
Music. Truly mankind’s greatest creation. It breaks down barriers of race, religion, language and culture like nothing else can.
Not so well known, but I bawl my eyes out every time I watch the scene from:
Boys by the side, when Whoopie sings „you got it“ by Roy Orbinson 😭😭
I think that I'll Cover You reprise by Rent: The Movie
