      If you watch her behind the scene, she said she’s completely tone deaf and it was HEAVILY auto tuned. I should say, I’m not a hater. I’m a massive fan of the amazing Jennifer Saunders 💜🥰

    Shrek 2 proves two things. That a sequel can be better than the original, and a re-make of a song can be better than the original.

    One of the best scenes in the film. When Mongo's arms snapped with shrek nearly falling off, gingy jumping towards his friend, puss taking on the guards, and Charming about to complete his plans in owning Fiona.
    Shrek 2 was honestly the best shrek film ever.

      @TheBrokenMeeple 9 лет назад +49

      +matthewmilad To be fair the first Shrek was merely "ok" - the cliche's in it are ones that have been done to death and the humour doesn't always hit the mark. Shrek 2 was a comedic masterpiece, always hitting the right notes. Shrek 3 was probably the worst of the lot as the new characters weren't interesting enough. Shrek 4 I actually quite liked even though the end message we've seen before. I personally put them in order of 2, 4, 1, 3.

    I don't care the whole G major thing, and the alto vs soprano voice, I think this cover is the best because Jennifer Saunder put literally everything she had at the time into it. She was sick during the recording of it, hence why there's a hint of extra determination and strain.

    Where have all good men gone
    And where are all the gods?
    Where’s the street-wise Hercules
    To fight the rising odds?
    Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
    Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need
    I need a hero
    I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
    He’s gotta be strong
    And he’s gotta be fast
    And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
    I need a hero
    I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light
    He’s gotta be sure
    And it’s gotta be soon
    And he’s gotta be larger than life
    Somewhere after midnight
    In my wildest fantasy
    Somewhere just beyond my reach
    There’s someone reaching back for me
    Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
    It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
    I need a hero
    I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
    He’s gotta be strong
    And he’s gotta be fast
    And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
    I need a hero
    I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light
    He’s gotta be sure
    And it’s gotta be soon
    And he’s gotta be larger than life
    Up Where the mountains meet the heavens above
    Out where the lightning splits the sea
    I would swear that there’s someone somewhere
    Watching me
    Through the wind and the chill and the rain
    And the storm and the flood
    I can feel his approach
    Like a fire in my blood
    I need a hero
    I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
    He’s gotta be strong
    And he’s gotta be fast
    And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
    I need a hero
    I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light
    He’s gotta be sure
