BE PREPARED | Female Version by Lydia the Bard | Lion King

I am a scary scary Lion 🦁
Hope you enjoyed this weeks cover!! Very much enjoyed this one as I could kinda throw my own accent in a little more than I usually can! Also getting to do the little hyena voices with Alex in the middle was fun, much giggling beside the mic was done on that day.
Life update, I’ve been BUSY, for anyone that’s interested I have now put down the vocal for the next lot of Princesses as Villains so we are well on our way to getting the series out again! Not anytime soon but they’re on their way! Also have a fun minor key rewrite of a pop song coming out soon which I’m v excited to show you in a few weeks so lots and lots and lots happening!
For now though I’m gonna chill out and play some Zelda ✌️
See you next week for a cover of Take Me to Church!

Anyone else dance with their friends around the living room to this song when they were kids or was that just me?…

[@viktoriaschweizer8724]

No, Lydia, I do the same thing 😂

[@Joleigh_DeGuia]

I don't have friends😭/jk

[@viktoriaschweizer8724]

@@Joleigh_DeGuia 😔 I ' am so sorry to hear that If you want to could be friends?

[@LaineyBug2020]

Just when we were little?

[@Hades_Daughter]

This song is such a slay, that I don't believe that people wouldn't do that!!!!

[@akirahyrule2157]

I just now realized that, even though he’s not a princess, Simba would make a great villain. If he’d let that anger at Scar fester? That would’ve taken an enjoyably dark turn.

[@stefaniarusso]

Yeah totally agree

[@TheDuckGenie]

Or maybe he joins Scar in his schemes because "I can't wait to be king" ?

[@akirahyrule2157]

@@TheDuckGenie When you look at it, 'Be Prepared' and 'I Just Can't Wait to be King' are almost the exact same 'I want' song in ideology, just interpreted two different ways.

[@mrthejayvion8211]

Don't know how but you always make villain songs sound even more sinister

[@cutiepatootie4094]

Yeah! It sounds like the original is the cover sometimes

[@wumaowumao]

She can do a great posh British accent, that's why.

[@TheGayGremlin1]

Oh my gods I just imagined, a female scar that used mufasas skin as a hood, so she could have the main, that typically most male lions have a maine that makes them be seen more strong, she could use it as a trophy and because honestly that would be so cool looking

[@ReniSings0]

So excited!!! If you’re feeling up to it, you should totally cover My Lullaby from Lion King 2 ❤

[@Danka42]

The most unapologetically bloodthirsty song Disney ever made. Love it

[@samuelebincoletto637]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@agustdstudent6452]

My lullaby was my favorite song

[@DovahkiinMaster172]

Agreed. A wonderfully sadistic song that gets overlooked too often.

[@carprincess]

I love this suggestion too!!!

[@shadowldrago]

To date my favorite Disney Villain Song. And you freaking nailed it.

[@aetherangel3223]

its my second fav disney song, my fav is Hellfire from Hunchback of Notre Dame. i would love if she did that one!

[@ugood_15]

​@@aetherangel3223omg samee, i don't know if you know who annapantsu is but she sang it and it was so good!! I suggest that you go watch it! :D

[@goldenalicorn3310]

Wow, you really know how to change your voice to perfectly match a character's voice or to sound like a female counterpart of a character. Singing voice wonderful as always 🎤 🎶

[@viktoriaschweizer8724]

Hey Lydia I can't wait! I will already prepare myself for dancing around my room while you sing 🦁 Your voice is so beautiful! And congratulations for 2000 subscribers 🎶👍

[@Axlria]

Yes!!! Another great song I'm excited to see how you managed to make Scar's voice, I have no doubt cause you are so good at changing you're voices to fit literally every character! 🦁🖤💚🎤🎵

[@immie_writes]

IMPATIENTLY waiting for this one💛

[@markolukic7824]

The lyrics were sooo clean! I'll have to listen to it a couple of more times but my initial impression is that this is my favourite performance after J.Irons' one. Bravo!

[@shephawke91]

The rendition is AMAZING! When i saw the title in my feed i was like "Hell yessss" I wish there was an awesome female version of the character in the art of the video too though

[@Mayo201991]

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS CHANNEL EXISTS!!! This is by far one of the best YT channel's that I so happened to stumble along after binge watching Disney Villian songs!! You killed it! Amazing voice! New sub! Can't wait to watch what else you've sang 😍❤

[@blazelightshine2311]

Love the growly tone

[@BathroomJams]

You had really interesting inflexions at times. Love this! Such a unique cover & I love that you got into character. Also the hyenas WERE AMAZING!

[@samuelcollantes1175]

I almost forgot you were gonna make a cover of Scar's songs! It's from one of my favorite Disney childhood movies of all time! Thank you, Lydia, and a happy saturday to you as well. Take care and God bless you, greetings from Colombia.

[@zacharyfrierson6972]

This is my all time favorite Disney Villain song for a reason.

[@FallenAngelGirl]

True

[@RBAWintrow]

"Stick with me and you'll never go hungry again." As far as evil promises go, Scar didn't seem to bad.

[@kevinbutler1437]

Lydia you better sing now girl you have Rare talent this is one of my favorites villain song and you breathe life too it soo well I am very proud

[@ugood_15]

Can't wait!! :D Btw congratulations on 200k subscribers! You deserve it :))

[@emma.bridgeforth]

The girls I nanny for are obsessed with the Lion King and this song, so I’m happy to finally hear a different version of it 😂

[@girlyjawn9150]

I LOVED this!! Great job Lydia!!

[@nevyjohnson4854]

Let's all admit it, Lydia's accent has us all jealous. ALSO AWESOME JOB GIRLIE

[@TortieTheTherian]

Yeah she can sing ANY character. Merida,Rapunzel, Anna even turn male characters into females! (Like she did here)

[@Mayo201991]

I JUST CAME BACK TO SAY THAT THIS IS MY FAVOURITE OF ALL YOUR COVER VILLAIN SONGS!! ❤❤❤

[@matthewsutton7043]

be prepared for this singer to rise to the top 👍👍👍

[@christianmarshal6117]

Wouldn’t the female Scar be “the QUEEN who’ll be long time adored”? That one minor thing aside another great video. Thank you.

[@Turtlemmd]

Eh it could still work anyways, I'm a girl and I wouldn't mind being a king :3

[@hanmarie1720]

Depends, sometimes people don’t see king as a gender thing, it’s simply a title of rank :)

[@Turtlemmd]

@@hanmarie1720 true but this is also a cover, they're probably trying to be accurate to the original version

[@gachatana9656]

The image on this cover still has the mane, which is a MALE trait in lions. It's still KING.

[@lumilumii]

king jadwiga style !!

[@robinvannoortwijk631]

your voice is literally perfect for this my gooooood😭✨

[@paris.and.trigger]

I was just singing along as loudly as I could and didn’t know my mom was standing outside my door- cRy. this is my favorite villain’s song, great job with this cover, Lydia!

[@murpsie2043]

Yessss this has been stuck in my head for almost a week! You did great as always!!

[@jeroenboth167]

This is one of my favorite villain songs ever so I’m happy you did an cover and I will listen to it when I am back home 😁💜

[@galagatorgames1317]

Not going to lie, that song went really hard and I was not expecting that

[@Ancusohm]

I've always loved this song. Great Work!

[@BrookArt441]

the evil cackle at the end was golden, good job Lydia!

[@lravenl]

That is sooooo good! Absolutely delicious to the ears. You have such a great voice and your delivery is perfect!

[@JustmeArtist83487]

Awesome as always! Have you ever done a villain song for Pocahontas? Colors of the wind has always been one of my favourites and your singing is so amazing! I’d love if you sing that or make villain song for Pocahontas 😁

[@cooperminion825]

I can see it now. She gets to the moment of judgement too late. John's been killed by her father and the settlers began a massacre as retaliation. By the time she gets there, the warriors have been seriously wounded, her father is dead, and the village has been ransacked. Everyone is either dead or taken "hostage," including her best friend. She comes to a realization that it's time to start doing some "painting" of her own (specifically with lots of red)

[@jediclonekag13]

I've been waiting for you to do a cover for my #1 favorite Disney villain song, and this did not disappoint.

[@rimarimacreates]

I love your version of this!!! Keep up the great work!

[@angessiaharris406]

This was always my favorite villain song❤❤ You just made my fav again

This makes me think of a Lion King musical with regular human actors and I'm here for it! xD

[@venus05139]

Amazing as always Lydia!!! I love you!!🫀

[@arnoldzarate2889]

[@user-wv9wl9zf8l]

Очень органично получилось. Хоть голос и женский, но по интонациям было очень похоже на голос Шрама, на его "стиль речи", "манеризмы" и т.д. Словом, очень здорово, спасибо. Ну и раз на то пошло, а как насчёт "Колыбельной" от Зиры?
