Yes, it's so much better than Beyond these Palace Walls.

Honestly I like it better than Speechless. To Be Free is more charming, subtle yet powerful, and it fits the rest of the soundtrack better. Speechless is your average empowerment pop song.

Lucky bird inside a guilded cage Golden words spoke by an ancient sage Everything you may have in life Still, all you hold is dust Must I yearn forever to be free? Free to climb a tree and ponder Free to wander There's no desire I hold fonder Than to be, simply me, to be free How ungrateful is this lucky bird Spurning privlege for one simple word Freedom to stretch these golden wings Freedom to touch the sky Why some would ask would she want to be Free to throw away a treasure Born with pleasure I'd sacrifice riches beyond measure Just a girl, with a boy What a perfect fantasy To find love, to feel joy To be really free

@@daviddyster4145 Ok, I wouldn’t say the Aladdin reboot was “Disney destroying its own legacy.” Because instead of being a carbon copy of the original, Aladdin 2019 mostly did its own thing for the most part (unlike other Disney live action reboots…….yeah, I’m looking at you, Lion King 2019). While it did admittedly have some laughably bad moments and plenty of flaws, there are still plenty of good things about it too. Will Smith actually did a great job as The Genie, he mostly just did his own thing as The Genie while paying tribute to the late Robin Williams. And while Speechless is inferior to “To Be Free,” it honestly wasn’t a bad song in my opinion, and Naomi Scott was pretty much the only person in the movie who actually COULD sing. This is all just my opinion, it’s absolutely ok if you disagree with me because we as human beings are made to think differently in life.

+Maya Origel I'm confused. The "Lyrics" are "by Jennifer Marie" and then you say "Words and music by Alan Menken." So..... are you saying Marie and Menken both did the lyrics or is there something I'm misreading?

I can't stop imagining Pearl singing

TBH I love this song so much more than "These Palace Walls".

[After Jafar rubs Genie's lamp] Genie (Mocking Jasmine's singing): ♪Lucky bird inside a gilded cage. (Scrubs himself with a brush, but suddenly stops when he realizes he's been summoned and gets angry)♪ Genie (Normal voice): Al, if you've come here to apologize you just forget it because it's too late! (Suddenly calms down) But since you are here, could you scratch my left shoulder blade? It gets so cramped in here that I...I...I...I... (Sees Jafar in front of him and tosses his brush away as he screams) AHH! A MAN! (Covers the top part of his body)

Pearl singing about homeworld and the pink diamond.

Menken should write his own lyrics, this song is incredible. Another song Menken wrote the lyrics and music for is "You Can Count on Me," another song that was cut from Aladdin.

Now that Kiff has come out, Deedee’s Disney days are coming back again. From MMC to Aladdin to… Miss Deer Teacher!

"Lucky bird inside a guilded cage." -as sung by "Bird Mom."

She's really got a good Disney princess voice, it's not all too far off from Lea Salonga.

It's called "Call me a Princess". It was intended to be part of the original Aladdin movie, but it got taken out. Now it's in the Aladdin Off-broadway on 5th Avenue Theatre, but the context is Jasmine sings it to scare her suitors.

Of all the Disney movies, why did they replace this with Frozen? The latter isn’t even close to having any sort of resemblance to the original story (from what I’ve heard)
