    Sticking to the original source and putting a little bit of your own taste is a recipe for respect and a good singer and the fact that your voice is so smooth makes it nice to listen to. This is also my preference on Pop jazz so great job NE-YO, this is one of the best covers I've heard so far along with Annapanstu's version and Elsie Lovelock's cover on 'Be Our Guest' from Beauty and The Beast.

      On the list of live action movies at some point. The only movies that would be hard to do as live action would be the ones with talking animals like the lion king.

      @themankoosky 8 лет назад +51

      Many of us feel the same, but much of that can be chalked up to the nostalgia phenomenon--the fact that we nostalgize over Robin Williams' voice from this Disney classic and adopt it as a factor in evaluating his performance.
      Don't get me wrong; Robin Williams was a sterling voice-actor for his role and sang the song superbly for an unspecialized singer, but would you be singing the same tune (no pun intended) if Neo originally sang the song? How Neo would have performed in the voice-acting role is anyone's guess; but as a putatively top-end singer in his genre, it's hard to disabuse to me that we wouldn't have found this song even more memorable if he was the voice-actor behind this song.

      joyvgomez totally agree. And it's not like he sticks to his part on the background. He always steals some of the singer's role (even though he can't sing) to say "DJ Khaled. We've the best music" or some shit like that at the beginning of the song. He ruined the whole genie vibe by advertising himself. Clever, but annoying and ridiculous. And he does that in every single song he manages to get his little fat fingers on
