don’t mind me being thrown by the insane details in these movies, i love the songs but wtf is with someone being stuck inside a mirror yall… anyway hope u enjoy lol
You wanna hear weird? There's a song in Diamond Castle where it's just two identical twins trying to flirt with the girls and occasionally complementing eachother's looks ("where did you get to be so good-looking?" "genetics" "ah")
we thought they would be love interests but they ended up being comedic relief, which fits the story better cause alexa and liana were practically already married from the very first frame
In any other movies these guys are who the girls fall in love with and they get married at the end. Instead liana and Alexa are just so put off and disgusted by them throughout the entire movie, and then go back to their lesbian cottage core happily ever after together
Julian is the best Barbie love interest, imo. He wasn't forcing those rules on Erika, but she needed to know what princesses are expected to do to pass as her. The princess herself didn't like how she was expected to behave. The Diamond Castle colors were weird because the person used a filter on their video.
To be fair what is said about the way a princess is supposed to be is kind of true there is for example a rule that says that a princess can only wear 3 items of jewlry at one time with earbuds counted as one pair=1 to not be to flashy with how rich you are. So you can have earbuds a necklace and a ring or a bracelet instead of a ring but not both. At least that is what A real Swedish princess has explained in a film about the royal life.
5:43 the voice crack is there to reveal his powerful feelings for Anneliese (who he sings about)! As her tutor, he shouldn't let those feelings show, which is why I love the voice crack - a little moment of him getting lost in a daydream, overpowered by his feelings and accidentally letting his controlled mask slip.
Petition for Matthew to post reaction to full Barbie movies I'm totally not using this as an excuse to watch Barbie movies through a new perspective and relive my childhood or anything 👀
Fun fact! The guy in the first song, Julian, is voiced by Alessandro Juliani! He voices a TON of barbie princes, but you might also recognize him as L/Ryuzaki from Death Note. I have forever been cursed with this information, and now you are too.
to justify to be a princess, the actual princess has gone missing and she has to pretend to be her long enough to find the actual princess, so He's teaching her what he knows of the princess
lmao him being upset at Julian (the guy in the first song) is making me laugh. like he put together at the end, He's explaining the book on Royal Etiquette, not his own opinions.
Next songs you should definitely listen to if you do another video: -Cat's Meow (Princess & The Pauper) (such a sweet and playful song with a really good message) -2 voices 1 song (Diamond Castle) (you briefly heard a reprise of it in Connected, but this is the full version and so good) -Shine (12 Dancing Princesses) (not the highest on the list but still a bop) -Free (Princess & The Pauper) (would give you a LOT of context for the movie as a whole, and also the harmonies are on point) -Queen Of The Waves (Mermaid Tale) (just a straight up good time) -If You Love Me For Me (Princess & The Pauper) (another love duet and soooo pretty)
Indeed, I need to know is still my comfort song in general. I can prefer it over many Disney movies and general songs by artists. I also like Island Princess both as a story and as a love story. Antonio is not just a love interest unlike other barbie movies, he literally is an equal protagonist as Rosetta with his own story and struggle.
Connected is maybe the Diamond Castle's song that people like the most, but honestly, I prefer "Two Voices, One Song", the bit they are singing after talking to the mirror lady, the harmonies are even better!
the way i literally DIED when the old school rainbow filter and lyrics in goofy 2012 summer font popped up in the second song. The true mark of a well beloved classic.
Im not gonna lie, mathew saying "THE PLOT THICKENS" when the girl in the mirror (im a disgrace, ive watched that movie so many times and i cant remember what her name is, is it Melody?) says she's nobody made me laugh out loud, that was so funny, please keep reacting to these
The voices in the early barbie movie are so pretty! I'd love a part 3 with "Free" from the Princess and the Pauper, and the main theme song in the 12 dancing princesses which is iconic for the barbie movies.
connected genuinely slaps so hard. when i watched it with my cousin, she didn't have internet access and she paused the movie every line just to transcribe the lyrics
I remember diamond castle, it was such a good classic barbie movie, which I highly suggest. It was one of the first ones that I watch. Also, thank you for consistently giving us amazing content.
Island Princess is SUCH a good movie, and the entire soundtrack is gorgeous. I’d honestly recommend listening to any song from that movie. The songs in Diamond Castle are really nice too. Also you should totally watch these movies sometime! The early movies are based on fairytales and ballets, but they eventually started coming up with their own stories and some of them get crazy! A personal favorite of mine is Princess Charm School, the twist at the end of that movie was honestly kinda dark (On Top of the World is a song from that movie I’d recommend as well)! Awesome video, can’t wait to see more 🖤
I am going to recommend "Love is for Peasants" also from Island Princess because that song is genuinely just so much fun. Great villain song. And Right Here in My Arms (reunion), also from that movie. It's just. So lovely
Amazing Barbie movie song suggestions: Written in your heart - princess and the pauper Believe - diamond castle If you love me for me - princess and the pauper Right here in my arms - island princess On top of the world - princess charm school We’re gonna find it - diamond castle Life is a fairytale - a fashion fairytale Love is for peasants - island Princess These are all a must listen to, I really hope we get another one of these because they’re a joy to watch!
Another song that should be on this list should be "I need to know" from Barbie as the Island Princess. I always liked that song. I also liked the song "At the Ball"
Just to answer some of your questions :) The first song, "To Be a Princess" features Julian who is the Princess' childhood friend/tutor who loves said Princess, Anneliese. This song takes place after the Princess is taken and the Pauper, Erika, replaces her (wearing a blonde wig because she's a brunette, thats why his voice cracked as he almost confessed his love out loud for the Princess as their love isnt "allowed" due to different social castes). Yes the rules are outdated, but it was what was expected of princesses during that time period (educated in arts/music/well mannered and uneducated in science/math/philosophy). The cat is supposed to have dog traits, so aside from the tongue sticking out he also barks instead of meowing! A pauper is a commoner/peasant. Second song, "Connected," the villain of the movie was turning the muses into stone to take over the Diamond Castle, but she needed to get rid of all of them to do so to corrupt everything and gain total power. One of the muses was trapped in the mirror as a protective measure to save her from the villain and to save the diamond castle. Fourth song, "I Need to Know," she is a princess but after her family's ship was wrecked she washed up on the island with memory loss (her family is alive, she's reunited with her mother at the end). She was a child when it happened so she knew how to speak english before the shipwreck, she grew up and learned to communicate with animals Dr.DoLittle style. The prince is an explorer who goes out on expeditions and found the island, he wants to help her find her family, etc. *FUN FACT! Julian from Princess and the Pauper and the explorer prince from The Island Princess are the same voice actor! Alessandro Juliani is known for his voice work, he voiced 5 different Barbie love interests) and is well known for his role in "The 100." *ANOTHER FUN FACT!! The music producers/composers who worked on Princess and the Pauper also worked on Island Princess! They have the most beautiful harmonies and those two movies are the only ones where the male love interest(s) sing in the movie!
If you want to know the deal with Barbie in an Island Princess is: when she was younger (like around 10 or so) she was on a ship voyage but they hit a storm and she was knocked out or something along those lines. She washed up on the island where the animals took care of her. She does have vague memories of the past and a trunk that was washed up with her that has half her name on it. She remembers parts of a lullaby that her mom sung her and of course English but other than that she has no idea. Just a little background for you.
Barbie songs are so good and some have great messages too! I'd recommend these: Cat's Meow (Princess & The Pauper), We're Gonna Find It (Diamond Castle), Right Here in my Arms (reunion) (Island Princess) All for One (Three Musketeers) this one's a bit more uptempo, and lastly, Shine (12 Dancing Princesses)
The voice crack is because Julian is in love with Anneliese the girl in the painting and he got a bit carried away with his feelings for her. At this point in the movie she is missing and Erica has to pretend to be Anneliese so no one will notice. So Julian is also at this point worried about her safety.
I would love to see him make full videos where he listen to every song in order from all the Barbie musicals and try to figure out what the movies are about
Watching you listen to Connected sent multiple waves of nostalgia through me. You BETTER watch Diamond Castle in a video. To this day, even as a 21 year old, it's my favorite Barbie movie.
As someone who grew up with the originals and stopped keeping up them when they hit princess and the popstar, here some songs that made an impact on me as a kid. Shine (12 dancing princesses) We're gonna find it (diamond castle) Right here in my arms, reunion (island princess) Keep on dancing (pink shoes) Queen of the waves (mermaid tail) Making my way (three musketeers)
I always love it when waiting for the moment someone realises just how truly good the Barbie movies can be. Through the craftsmanship of the music you can tell that everyone behind it cared what they were working for. Also no, you are not meant to hate Julian - the dude from the first song lolol. He and the prince from the final song "I Need to Know" is the same voice actor. The talent that man holds is incredible. I need more reacting to Barbie 😩😂
Theres a pretty big distinction between classic and modern barbie songs but both are great in their own way. For classics some of the best are Rapunzel and 12 dancing princesses themes, all of island princess honestly, Free, and Written in your heart. For modern, queen of the waves is an absolute bob, raise our voices, Life is a fairytale, Can you keep a secret, and the Here I am (finale version). Please do another of these videos. I adore Barbie films and its great to see someone else get an appreciation for them.
I've been singing these songs for years, I know them by heart. I just had my thyroid removed a few weeks ago and because of that surgery, my vocal chords are still trying to recover. I can't access the higher register of my voice (apparently it takes months to go back to normal) so I can't sing my favorite songs anymore. This video was very comforting in a way, getting to see someone listen to them for the first time.
Mathew: Their lives don't seem to crazy- They find a girl stuck in a magic mirror, then their house gets burned down by a poop green dragon with a unicorn horn, and are on the run from an evil witch with a double flute.
Fun fact for those who don't know, the male attendant in Princess and the Pauper is also the English dub voice of L from Deathnote, so have fun looking at L the same ever again.
I also really love the songs from Starlight Adventure (one of the newer movies) like "This Feeling is Everything" and "Shooting Star (Acoustic Reprise)", they're soo nice ♥
Some Barbie song suggestions for future videos!! "This is Me" from Barbie Diaries "Love is for Peasants", "The Rat Song", and "Always More" from Island Princess "If You Love Me For Me" from Princess and the Pauper "Life is a Fairytale", "Another Me", "Get Your Sparkle On" from Fashion Fairytale "Can You Keep a Secret" from Fairy Secret "You Can Tell She's a Princess" and "On Top of the World" from Princess Charm School "Unbelievable" from Three Musketeers (it's a cover of the EMF song, but with different lyrics) "Here I Am" from Princess and the Popstar "I Want it All" from Secret Door "Good Vibes" and "Playground of Our Dreams" from Big City Big Dreams
'are those three animals even on the same continent?' Actually yes! They're all Asian animals! The Asian Elephant is/was found throughout India and South East Asia, there's several species of Peafowl, all found in/around India and South East Asia and the Red Panda lives up a bit farther north in the southern portions of China. (the elephant's range overlaps with both the peafowl and panda but the panda and peafowl's ranges don't seem to overlap each other)
I NEED you to listen to, " Two voices, One song" and "A Diamond Castle" from Barbie and the Diamond castle!!! I love those two songs so bloody much! + We love our Cottage core Lesbians singing
Queen of the Waves from Barbie in a Mermaid Tale is suuuuch a bop totally recommend plus We’re Gonna Find It from Barbie and the Diamond Castle is so good! I’m SO happy you listened to I Need to Know it’s one of my faves
You need to listen to Here I Am, Two Voices One Song, Can You Keep a Secret, Free, Queen of the Waves, On Top of the World, Shooting Star (Acoustic Version), and We're Gonna Find It.
I started jumping like a little girl when you dinally did a Barbie and The Diamond Castle😂 Also, fun fact, Connected is a verision of the original song "Tenerte y Quererte" by the Mexican band RBD
It's 'Barbie AS The Princess and the Pauper'. She is both the princess AND the pauper 😉 Wolfie is a cute kitty & The Cat's Meow is the cutest song from that movie (recommended lol)
I love love love love that you reacted to the Princess of the Island. The duet is by far my favourite song of the Barbie movies uwu the reprise is awesome too. But I know the Barbie cult has other favourites, can’t wait!
Barbie and the Diamond Castle was one of my favorite movies as a kid and highly recommend watching it. To give you more weirdness motivation the "Villain" is this Witch with a pet Dragon (I'm serious). It's an awesome movie and I'm not going to spoil anything, just watch it. I own Barbie as the Island Princess too which is a very cute and sweet movie. Also, if you want some REALLY banging tunes listen to the songs from Barbie: The Princess and the Pop Star. I own that one too and the music is awesome!
you should hear the posh accent in the German version of "To be a princess", it is HILARIOUS though I have to admit that the VA sounds way more professional in the English one
This was wonderful!!! I love that more people get to fall in love with Barbie movie songs😍 Also, a few recommendations for just having a good time with Barbie songs: all songs from the movie "Big City, big dreams" and the series "It takes two". More classical Barbie songs to listen to are "Hope has wings" from "Barbie and the magic of pegasus", "Only a breath away" from "Barbie as Mariposa 2", "Shooting star" from "Barbie in the Starlight Adventure", "On top of the world" from "Barbie: Princess Charms School". And for the Barbie High School Musical called "Barbie: the Barbie Diaries", listen to "This is me". And definitely "Free" from "The Princess and the Pauper". And "Shine" from the 12 Dancing Princesses. I think it'd be easier to list which Barbie songs not to listen to🤷🏽♀️
I'm loving this! The barbie movie songs sure are something! Would love to see some more music reactions from you. Maybe Electric Callboy, they're such a wild band.
I'm just going to comment the same songs I commented on the last video that you haven't listened to yet, because I think they deserve being listened to :) - Another me (the lyrics videos have a better version than the video with scenes from the movie) - Queen of the Waves - Can you keep a Secret - On top of the World
I see that nobody recommands other songs from Rock N Royals and it's probably because many Barbie fans don't give a chance to newer barbie movies (which is sad because some of them are really good) so I'm going to recommend them for you: -When you're a princess - what's fun with this song is that one character basically stops everything at the end because she finds it "boring" but it's actually not... like really not. - Gotta Get To Camp - mostly to see chaotic and terrible dance moves. - Raise our voices - criminally underrated. From other movies there are many good songs but I'm gonna give you ones I haven't seen in the comments: - Hope has wings from Barbie and the magic of pegasus - It's really an amazing song - What's gonna happen from Barbie and the secret door - The first song of the movie and I honestly prefer it to If I had magic - Wonderful Me from Barbie and the Diamond Castle - short villain song but she believes so much what she says that it automatically becomes iconic. -Get your sparkle on from Barbie in a Fashion Fairytale - A BOP. But a bit repetitive...
Island Princess is a weird one, but it always makes me sob. I always imagined my finding my "real" family one day that would treasure me especially "Right Here in My Arms: Reunion", that's a tough one to get through. but SO beautiful.
Hello, so I HIGHLY recommend watching "How Can I Refuse?" It's a song from the same movie as "To Be a Princess" Both of them are from the movie Princess and the Pauper except "How Can I Refuse?" is a villain song performed by MARTIN SHORT LMFAO. It's incredible and I hope you enjoy it.
I would like to see you react to constant as the stars above (Barbie Rapunzel), shine (12 dancing princesses), cat‘s meow (the princess and the pauper), wings (barbie swan lake) and To be a princess/ to be a Popstar (the princess and the popstar) I love revisiting Barbie Movies = )
'Queen of the Waves' from Mermaid Tale is such a bop. I really love the birthday song from 12 Dancing Princesses too, it's just all the nostalgia for me and anything from Princess Charm School and 3 Musketeers and Fashion Fairytale cause I loved the music from those and can't pinpoint any one I like over the others. Also, the rat song from Island Princess, I really want a reaction to that with No context.
I recommend This Feeling is Everything but the full version, Shooting Star also the full version and acoustic (both from Starlight Adventure), Shine (Barbie 12 Dancing Princesses), See you at the Finish Line (Barbie Big City, Big Dreams) and Constant as the Stars above, It's a nice soft song that I think you'll love.
Babe To Be A Princess is because Erika needs to learn to be a convincing Annalise, who is a princess. As Annalise’s tutor, Julian was the perfect person to teach her
A bit of context for the first song. Erica the pauper/seamstress is cosplaying as Analise here, bc Analise was abducted by the main villain, and someone had to like step in in order to keep things going smooth as they looked for her to restore her back to the palace. without all the drama and panic that would ensue with Princess being gone. But, since she was well...a commoner/working class girl she had to learn all the etiquette princessy stuff in order to pull the whole thing off. and Julia, Analise's crush/love interest/tutor was teaching her all this stuff. also Princess and the Pauper is one of the best if not THE best early Barbie movie in existence. all songs there are bangers. and Preminger is one of the best animated villains of all time.
The only Barbie movies I actively remember are like… the ones where she’s a fairy, and the 12 dancing princesses ones, and I think the nutcracker one. But that island Barbie one looks SO familiar all of a sudden, like clearly I must have watched it but I 100% have never remembered watching it until today. Wild.
17:36 About what happened to her (from what I remember) on a stormy night, she was shipwrecked when she fell from the boat she was on (she was about 5 years old) and the next day the animals found her unconscious. PS: since they raised her she learned to communicate with animals, a normal person would only hear the sounds that an animal makes but for her it is as if she is talking to a person
17:48 Love how I can hear the other guy exhaling at the nitpicking 😂 Like, I feel you bro Especially after she gave a bit of context with the "Why do my memories start with a storm?" line.
It might just be the fact I grew up with princess and the pauper but I love the origional version of to be a princess as opposed to the popper version…
Nice video. It’s cool to see people showing appreciation for these movies because, yeah they’re a bit cringey and bizarre and yeah, the animation isn’t great because it’s decades old but the voice actors do a great job singing and the music is self is well done like how you pointed out that first song sounds old timey. I like how you were able to focus on the cool stuff like the quality of the singing even though it’d be easy to spend the video just poking fun at the animation or something but you weren’t fault-finding and I think that’s neat. I watched like all the Barbie movies when I was a kid and loved them. I haven’t watched your previous Barbie video yet but I’m looking forward to seeing it when I have time. Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus was one of my favorites as a kid, can’t remember if it has songs though. Also wanted mention that I hope you do more reactions to Bluey in the future. It’s honestly such a gem. One time my family was sitting in the living room with Bluey on tv and then my parents put my siblings to bed and when they came back to the living room I was still sitting there just watching Bluey XD Anyways, hope you’re having a nice day.
i completely forgot how out of context barbie and the diamond castle can be .... i was so unphased by melody in the mirror lmaoo there's two versions of this song called 'believe' from the diamond castle - i'd recommend the movie version bc it's the voice actors (lowkey?) harmonising! if you want more duets: right here in my arms - the island princess (very short but very sweet!) if you love me for me - princess and the pauper and for another fun musical barbie movie, i'd recommend the songs from princess and the popstar (which is like a modern remake of princess and the pauper so there may be some familiar songs!)
Requesting part 3 with right here in my arms reunion from island princess, if you love me for me from princess and the pauper, two voices one song from diamond castle, and shine from 12 dancing princesses 💜💜
I was like, that song, with the two Barbies discovering a girl in a mirror. That song sounds familiar...oh my gosh it's the melody from a song in Spanish. It's called Tenerte y quererte by RBD
don’t mind me being thrown by the insane details in these movies, i love the songs but wtf is with someone being stuck inside a mirror yall… anyway hope u enjoy lol

The Diamond Castle colors were weird because the person used a filter on their video.
Yes stand up for JULIAN
I like Aiden a little bit more, but Julian is second place ^-^
@Tiara you are absolutely right!!! Let's protect Julián!!!
To be fair what is said about the way a princess is supposed to be is kind of true there is for example a rule that says that a princess can only wear 3 items of jewlry at one time with earbuds counted as one pair=1 to not be to flashy with how rich you are. So you can have earbuds a necklace and a ring or a bracelet instead of a ring but not both. At least that is what A real Swedish princess has explained in a film about the royal life.

Next songs you should definitely listen to if you do another video:
-Cat's Meow (Princess & The Pauper) (such a sweet and playful song with a really good message)
-2 voices 1 song (Diamond Castle) (you briefly heard a reprise of it in Connected, but this is the full version and so good)

I agree to all of these! Some of my favorite Barbie songs!
Yes 100% agree . But also both versions of Barbie as The Island Princess - Right Here in my Arms
Barbie as the Island Princess has the best songs, in my opinion.
Same, that's why it's one of my favorites and i get super sad when people shit on it lmao
Absolutely, I wish they would turn it into Broadway along with Princess and the Pauper
@@RaddyMadi ikr! like barbie songs are definitely broadway material. i'd love to hear I Need To Know in a broadway stage.

I remember diamond castle, it was such a good classic barbie movie, which I highly suggest. It was one of the first ones that I watch. Also, thank you for consistently giving us amazing content.
I loved that movie, that’s my childhood movie 😊♥️
Island Princess is SUCH a good movie, and the entire soundtrack is gorgeous. I’d honestly recommend listening to any song from that movie. The songs in Diamond Castle are really nice too.
Also you should totally watch these movies sometime! The early movies are based on fairytales and ballets, but they eventually started coming up with their own stories and some of them get crazy! A personal favorite of mine is Princess Charm School, the twist at the end of that movie was honestly kinda dark (On Top of the World is a song from that movie I’d recommend as well)! Awesome video, can’t wait to see more 🖤
I am going to recommend "Love is for Peasants" also from Island Princess because that song is genuinely just so much fun. Great villain song.
And Right Here in My Arms (reunion), also from that movie. It's just. So lovely
Omg YES!! That song is one that throws me off everytime I listen to it because of the lyrics. It would be so fun for Matthew to hear it as well

@@Elyse1606 agreed
The rat song is not on any list and it is a crime
omg the villain song from the island princess...also the fucking cheese song
Another song that should be on this list should be "I need to know" from Barbie as the Island Princess. I always liked that song. I also liked the song "At the Ball"
Just to answer some of your questions :)
The first song, "To Be a Princess" features Julian who is the Princess' childhood friend/tutor who loves said Princess, Anneliese. This song takes place after the Princess is taken and the Pauper, Erika, replaces her (wearing a blonde wig because she's a brunette, thats why his voice cracked as he almost confessed his love out loud for the Princess as their love isnt "allowed" due to different social castes). Yes the rules are outdated, but it was what was expected of princesses during that time period (educated in arts/music/well mannered and uneducated in science/math/philosophy). The cat is supposed to have dog traits, so aside from the tongue sticking out he also barks instead of meowing! A pauper is a commoner/peasant.
Second song, "Connected," the villain of the movie was turning the muses into stone to take over the Diamond Castle, but she needed to get rid of all of them to do so to corrupt everything and gain total power. One of the muses was trapped in the mirror as a protective measure to save her from the villain and to save the diamond castle.
Fourth song, "I Need to Know," she is a princess but after her family's ship was wrecked she washed up on the island with memory loss (her family is alive, she's reunited with her mother at the end). She was a child when it happened so she knew how to speak english before the shipwreck, she grew up and learned to communicate with animals Dr.DoLittle style. The prince is an explorer who goes out on expeditions and found the island, he wants to help her find her family, etc.
*FUN FACT! Julian from Princess and the Pauper and the explorer prince from The Island Princess are the same voice actor! Alessandro Juliani is known for his voice work, he voiced 5 different Barbie love interests) and is well known for his role in "The 100."
*ANOTHER FUN FACT!! The music producers/composers who worked on Princess and the Pauper also worked on Island Princess! They have the most beautiful harmonies and those two movies are the only ones where the male love interest(s) sing in the movie!
If you want to know the deal with Barbie in an Island Princess is: when she was younger (like around 10 or so) she was on a ship voyage but they hit a storm and she was knocked out or something along those lines. She washed up on the island where the animals took care of her. She does have vague memories of the past and a trunk that was washed up with her that has half her name on it. She remembers parts of a lullaby that her mom sung her and of course English but other than that she has no idea. Just a little background for you.
I LOVE these songs! I’m definitely here for more Barbie movie reaction
Same for real!
Barbie songs are so good and some have great messages too! I'd recommend these:
Cat's Meow (Princess & The Pauper), We're Gonna Find It (Diamond Castle), Right Here in my Arms (reunion) (Island Princess) All for One (Three Musketeers) this one's a bit more uptempo, and lastly, Shine (12 Dancing Princesses)
Just imagining Mathew listening to the rats song from the island princess has me giggling, definitely recommend it
fun fact: in a lot of barbie movies, barbie is voiced by kelly sheridan, who played a main character in mlp fim lmao
The voice crack is because Julian is in love with Anneliese the girl in the painting and he got a bit carried away with his feelings for her. At this point in the movie she is missing and Erica has to pretend to be Anneliese so no one will notice. So Julian is also at this point worried about her safety.
I would love to see him make full videos where he listen to every song in order from all the Barbie musicals and try to figure out what the movies are about
Watching you listen to Connected sent multiple waves of nostalgia through me. You BETTER watch Diamond Castle in a video. To this day, even as a 21 year old, it's my favorite Barbie movie.
I'm so glad a song from the Island Princess made it in!!! Such a gorgeous movie, one of my absolute favourite Barbie movies as a kid ^^
As someone who grew up with the originals and stopped keeping up them when they hit princess and the popstar, here some songs that made an impact on me as a kid.
Shine (12 dancing princesses)
We're gonna find it (diamond castle)
Right here in my arms, reunion (island princess)
Keep on dancing (pink shoes)
Queen of the waves (mermaid tail)
Making my way (three musketeers)
i actually cried re-listening to "i need to know" :)) i love this movies songs so much ♡ im glad they were part of my childhood
I always love it when waiting for the moment someone realises just how truly good the Barbie movies can be. Through the craftsmanship of the music you can tell that everyone behind it cared what they were working for. Also no, you are not meant to hate Julian - the dude from the first song lolol. He and the prince from the final song "I Need to Know" is the same voice actor. The talent that man holds is incredible. I need more reacting to Barbie 😩😂
I cannot explain how much I loved the way the girls would dance over the split between the grass and the cobble path in The Diamond Castle.
Theres a pretty big distinction between classic and modern barbie songs but both are great in their own way.
For classics some of the best are Rapunzel and 12 dancing princesses themes, all of island princess honestly, Free, and Written in your heart.
For modern, queen of the waves is an absolute bob, raise our voices, Life is a fairytale, Can you keep a secret, and the Here I am (finale version).
Please do another of these videos. I adore Barbie films and its great to see someone else get an appreciation for them.
I've been singing these songs for years, I know them by heart. I just had my thyroid removed a few weeks ago and because of that surgery, my vocal chords are still trying to recover. I can't access the higher register of my voice (apparently it takes months to go back to normal) so I can't sing my favorite songs anymore. This video was very comforting in a way, getting to see someone listen to them for the first time.
Mathew: Their lives don't seem to crazy-
They find a girl stuck in a magic mirror, then their house gets burned down by a poop green dragon with a unicorn horn, and are on the run from an evil witch with a double flute.
Barbie movie songs rarely if ever disappoint
Fun fact for those who don't know, the male attendant in Princess and the Pauper is also the English dub voice of L from Deathnote, so have fun looking at L the same ever again.
it's not just julian. dude is in this video three times. he's also antonio and the bad guy in rock n' royals.
I love how he just correctly guessed Ro ended up on the island because of a shipwreck
I'm so glad you bring the Rock'n royals songs, they are amazing!!
I need him to hear "Always More" from The Island Princess. I think he'd get the feels.
PLEASE DO MORE BARBIE SONGS I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS ❤❤❤❤
Barbie the Island Princess is my c h i l d h o o d I cannot tell you how many times I would listen to each song and sing along.
"What is she the princess of? The island?"
the movie is called the island princess HAHAUSEG
Barbie as the island princess is my FAVORITE Barbie movie 😭😭
OMG same I'm getting nostalgia i loved that song 😭🥹
I also really love the songs from Starlight Adventure (one of the newer movies) like "This Feeling is Everything" and "Shooting Star (Acoustic Reprise)", they're soo nice ♥
Some Barbie song suggestions for future videos!!
"This is Me" from Barbie Diaries
"Love is for Peasants", "The Rat Song", and "Always More" from Island Princess
"If You Love Me For Me" from Princess and the Pauper
"Life is a Fairytale", "Another Me", "Get Your Sparkle On" from Fashion Fairytale
"Can You Keep a Secret" from Fairy Secret
"You Can Tell She's a Princess" and "On Top of the World" from Princess Charm School
"Unbelievable" from Three Musketeers (it's a cover of the EMF song, but with different lyrics)
"Here I Am" from Princess and the Popstar
"I Want it All" from Secret Door
"Good Vibes" and "Playground of Our Dreams" from Big City Big Dreams
Im begging for on top of the world
I quote the Rat song constantly XD
@@rydianblack7594 as you should XD
@Holly Dewdop anytime anyone asks me about cheese it's on sight XD always in the voice I respond "I do like a havarti better"
'are those three animals even on the same continent?' Actually yes! They're all Asian animals! The Asian Elephant is/was found throughout India and South East Asia, there's several species of Peafowl, all found in/around India and South East Asia and the Red Panda lives up a bit farther north in the southern portions of China. (the elephant's range overlaps with both the peafowl and panda but the panda and peafowl's ranges don't seem to overlap each other)
I NEED you to listen to, " Two voices, One song" and "A Diamond Castle" from Barbie and the Diamond castle!!!
I love those two songs so bloody much!
+ We love our Cottage core Lesbians singing
Was that meant to be we’re gonna find it?
@@notaseat5934 I think it was 😅
@@notaseat5934 Yeah realized that too lol 😅
Buuuttt I'm too lazy to change it now
Best Barbie movie ever cottagecore lesbians 💕
Queen of the Waves from Barbie in a Mermaid Tale is suuuuch a bop totally recommend plus We’re Gonna Find It from Barbie and the Diamond Castle is so good! I’m SO happy you listened to I Need to Know it’s one of my faves
You need to listen to Here I Am, Two Voices One Song, Can You Keep a Secret, Free, Queen of the Waves, On Top of the World, Shooting Star (Acoustic Version), and We're Gonna Find It.
Barbie life in the dream house is so iconic, and so camp, truly comedy gold 💅
It's actually a masterpiece and I wish there were more episodes 😩
I started jumping like a little girl when you dinally did a Barbie and The Diamond Castle😂
Also, fun fact, Connected is a verision of the original song "Tenerte y Quererte" by the Mexican band RBD
It's 'Barbie AS The Princess and the Pauper'. She is both the princess AND the pauper 😉
Wolfie is a cute kitty & The Cat's Meow is the cutest song from that movie (recommended lol)
I love love love love that you reacted to the Princess of the Island. The duet is by far my favourite song of the Barbie movies uwu the reprise is awesome too. But I know the Barbie cult has other favourites, can’t wait!
Barbie and the Diamond Castle was one of my favorite movies as a kid and highly recommend watching it. To give you more weirdness motivation the "Villain" is this Witch with a pet Dragon (I'm serious). It's an awesome movie and I'm not going to spoil anything, just watch it. I own Barbie as the Island Princess too which is a very cute and sweet movie. Also, if you want some REALLY banging tunes listen to the songs from Barbie: The Princess and the Pop Star. I own that one too and the music is awesome!
you should hear the posh accent in the German version of "To be a princess", it is HILARIOUS
though I have to admit that the VA sounds way more professional in the English one
This was wonderful!!! I love that more people get to fall in love with Barbie movie songs😍 Also, a few recommendations for just having a good time with Barbie songs: all songs from the movie "Big City, big dreams" and the series "It takes two". More classical Barbie songs to listen to are "Hope has wings" from "Barbie and the magic of pegasus", "Only a breath away" from "Barbie as Mariposa 2", "Shooting star" from "Barbie in the Starlight Adventure", "On top of the world" from "Barbie: Princess Charms School". And for the Barbie High School Musical called "Barbie: the Barbie Diaries", listen to "This is me". And definitely "Free" from "The Princess and the Pauper". And "Shine" from the 12 Dancing Princesses. I think it'd be easier to list which Barbie songs not to listen to🤷🏽♀️
I'm loving this! The barbie movie songs sure are something!
Would love to see some more music reactions from you. Maybe Electric Callboy, they're such a wild band.
I'm just going to comment the same songs I commented on the last video that you haven't listened to yet, because I think they deserve being listened to :)
- Another me (the lyrics videos have a better version than the video with scenes from the movie)
- Queen of the Waves
- Can you keep a Secret
- On top of the World
"two voices one song" from diamond castle
I see that nobody recommands other songs from Rock N Royals and it's probably because many Barbie fans don't give a chance to newer barbie movies (which is sad because some of them are really good) so I'm going to recommend them for you:
-When you're a princess - what's fun with this song is that one character basically stops everything at the end because she finds it "boring" but it's actually not... like really not.
- Gotta Get To Camp - mostly to see chaotic and terrible dance moves.
- Raise our voices - criminally underrated.
From other movies there are many good songs but I'm gonna give you ones I haven't seen in the comments:
- Hope has wings from Barbie and the magic of pegasus - It's really an amazing song
- What's gonna happen from Barbie and the secret door - The first song of the movie and I honestly prefer it to If I had magic
- Wonderful Me from Barbie and the Diamond Castle - short villain song but she believes so much what she says that it automatically becomes iconic.
-Get your sparkle on from Barbie in a Fashion Fairytale - A BOP. But a bit repetitive...
Island Princess is a weird one, but it always makes me sob. I always imagined my finding my "real" family one day that would treasure me
especially "Right Here in My Arms: Reunion", that's a tough one to get through. but SO beautiful.
damn i forgot how good barbie and the island princess songs were
Hello, so I HIGHLY recommend watching "How Can I Refuse?" It's a song from the same movie as "To Be a Princess"
Both of them are from the movie Princess and the Pauper except "How Can I Refuse?" is a villain song performed by MARTIN SHORT LMFAO. It's incredible and I hope you enjoy it.
he already did it!! it’s on his first barbie reaction video
I would like to see you react to constant as the stars above (Barbie Rapunzel), shine (12 dancing princesses), cat‘s meow (the princess and the pauper), wings (barbie swan lake) and To be a princess/ to be a Popstar (the princess and the popstar)
I love revisiting Barbie Movies = )
'Queen of the Waves' from Mermaid Tale is such a bop. I really love the birthday song from 12 Dancing Princesses too, it's just all the nostalgia for me and anything from Princess Charm School and 3 Musketeers and Fashion Fairytale cause I loved the music from those and can't pinpoint any one I like over the others. Also, the rat song from Island Princess, I really want a reaction to that with No context.
Waiting for part three 😁 you should review all of them ☺️
I can relate to his surprise. I was personally taken aback when I realized that Monster High songs go unfairly hard.
I love that Matthew is dressed like Crider in this video
Lol I didn’t even realize that’s hilarious 😂😂😂
I recommend This Feeling is Everything but the full version, Shooting Star also the full version and acoustic (both from Starlight Adventure), Shine (Barbie 12 Dancing Princesses), See you at the Finish Line (Barbie Big City, Big Dreams) and Constant as the Stars above, It's a nice soft song that I think you'll love.
i need him to listen to "Right here in my arms" and "when you are a princess"
Babe To Be A Princess is because Erika needs to learn to be a convincing Annalise, who is a princess. As Annalise’s tutor, Julian was the perfect person to teach her
A bit of context for the first song. Erica the pauper/seamstress is cosplaying as Analise here, bc Analise was abducted by the main villain, and someone had to like step in in order to keep things going smooth as they looked for her to restore her back to the palace. without all the drama and panic that would ensue with Princess being gone. But, since she was well...a commoner/working class girl she had to learn all the etiquette princessy stuff in order to pull the whole thing off. and Julia, Analise's crush/love interest/tutor was teaching her all this stuff. also Princess and the Pauper is one of the best if not THE best early Barbie movie in existence. all songs there are bangers. and Preminger is one of the best animated villains of all time.
When it comes to music Rock n Royals is my favorite movie
The only Barbie movies I actively remember are like… the ones where she’s a fairy, and the 12 dancing princesses ones, and I think the nutcracker one. But that island Barbie one looks SO familiar all of a sudden, like clearly I must have watched it but I 100% have never remembered watching it until today. Wild.
17:36 About what happened to her (from what I remember) on a stormy night, she was shipwrecked when she fell from the boat she was on (she was about 5 years old) and the next day the animals found her unconscious.
PS: since they raised her she learned to communicate with animals, a normal person would only hear the sounds that an animal makes but for her it is as if she is talking to a person
17:48
Love how I can hear the other guy exhaling at the nitpicking 😂
Like, I feel you bro
Especially after she gave a bit of context with the "Why do my memories start with a storm?" line.
"To be a Princess" is Barbie's "I'll Make A Man Out Of You", but with certain key differences, imo.
It might just be the fact I grew up with princess and the pauper but I love the origional version of to be a princess as opposed to the popper version…
I adore the music from Diamond Castle, would definitely recommend listening to some of the others!
9:05 your reaction to the 3rd voice got me absolutely rolling on the floor for 5 minutes!!! 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice video. It’s cool to see people showing appreciation for these movies because, yeah they’re a bit cringey and bizarre and yeah, the animation isn’t great because it’s decades old but the voice actors do a great job singing and the music is self is well done like how you pointed out that first song sounds old timey. I like how you were able to focus on the cool stuff like the quality of the singing even though it’d be easy to spend the video just poking fun at the animation or something but you weren’t fault-finding and I think that’s neat. I watched like all the Barbie movies when I was a kid and loved them. I haven’t watched your previous Barbie video yet but I’m looking forward to seeing it when I have time. Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus was one of my favorites as a kid, can’t remember if it has songs though.
Also wanted mention that I hope you do more reactions to Bluey in the future. It’s honestly such a gem. One time my family was sitting in the living room with Bluey on tv and then my parents put my siblings to bed and when they came back to the living room I was still sitting there just watching Bluey XD
Anyways, hope you’re having a nice day.
i completely forgot how out of context barbie and the diamond castle can be .... i was so unphased by melody in the mirror lmaoo
there's two versions of this song called 'believe' from the diamond castle - i'd recommend the movie version bc it's the voice actors (lowkey?) harmonising!
if you want more duets:
right here in my arms - the island princess (very short but very sweet!)
if you love me for me - princess and the pauper
and for another fun musical barbie movie, i'd recommend the songs from princess and the popstar (which is like a modern remake of princess and the pauper so there may be some familiar songs!)
Beyond The Horizon is genuinely one my favorites Barbie songs ever, the hole build up of the song is just gorgeous!
Requesting part 3 with right here in my arms reunion from island princess, if you love me for me from princess and the pauper, two voices one song from diamond castle, and shine from 12 dancing princesses 💜💜
I agree there should be a part 3
Connected from barbie diamond castle is literally just an english version of the mexican song tenerte y quererte by RBD
Wow. This movie gets more and more gay the more I learn about it...
I was like, that song, with the two Barbies discovering a girl in a mirror. That song sounds familiar...oh my gosh it's the melody from a song in Spanish. It's called Tenerte y quererte by RBD
My Barbie Recommendations:
- Live in the moment
- Light up the world
- Playground of our dreams
- On top of the world
- Work it
- Before Us
- Shine
TWO VOICES is one you need to hear
Do "love is for peasants" please!! It's a beautiful song
On that note, please do a whole video dedicated to villain songs, all of them slap.
the barbie vlogs are genuinely adorable. like the britcrew era of youtube but extra pg. 10/10
