Ne-Yo - Friend Like Me (Audio)

[@felicitymakenna7662]

Growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional -Walt Disney

[@manuelorozco7760]

That's very heartfelt to say

[@felicitymakenna7662]

Thank you!

[@manuelorozco7760]

Felicity Makenna Your welcome. It really speaks to the inner kid in all of us especially the likes of me.

[@felicitymakenna7662]

Yea, another reason to love the quote.

[@manuelorozco7760]

Felicity Makenna Hmm I may not be a big fan of Disney but it's still part of my life 23 years later

[@whitedogsblackcats]

I like both versions. Neyo's version is more classical and elegant, reminds me of the 20th century jazz a bit. Robin Williams is more energized and fun.

[@hiero-green]

HarleyQuinnsBat Mm, this one seems less like a fun-loving genie like in the movie, and more like some sort of conman-like genie, trying to convince Aladdin to strike a deal with him or something.

[@whitedogsblackcats]

I guess you can think of it like that . I see where you're coming from. I mean to be honest, it is a little like Friends on the Other Side , from the Princess and the Frog. So maybe.

[@bourne2crimson397]

@@hiero-green That actually sounds freakin' cool.

[@jeffkoenig4250]

Well, Ne-Yo doesn’t sing too bad, but his music isn’t really like Will Smith or Robin Williams. And he’s missing a lot of the lyrics!

[@kurapikaswife00001]

I like this one cuz it has so much swag and it’s so smooth I love it 😻

[@BionicleGio22210]

I seriously can't stop snapping, that's how good this version is

[@oliviahobson9536]

I can actually see this as being a really good villain song

[@calinaherrera2503]

Kind of like the shadow man on princess and the frog

[@decaytred9500]

Indeed

[@manuelorozco7760]

No way Friend Like Me is just fine the way it was originally written by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman (RIP)

[@zigzoinks5493]

+Manuel Orozco What? Dude...

[@manuelorozco7760]

The Blue Shell It's just my opinion

[@phoenixfan6667]

Am I the only one who thinks that, because of the way Ne-Yo is singing, this could be a villain song?

[@theaustraliankangapus16]

PhoenixFan 666 Righto!

[@manuelorozco7760]

Ne-Yo did a pretty good job with the song. I'm sure Robin Williams will be dancing in his grave. Kudos to whoever made the new arrangement.

[@Tara-yu4qd]

I can't pick a favorite, this one has an awesome jazzy feeling to it, anapatsus's is REALLY energetic and fun, and Robin's is really crazy and exciting.

[@manuelorozco7760]

Agreed. Can't be compared

[@thealphatwins7253]

RIGHT!

[@LuzMaria95]

ch2010ize the least they could’ve done is play this one in the end credits. This is the best version for live action. Hearing this really loud in a movie theater would’ve been magnificent.

[@GreatHornedCynic]

I was just thinking that! You're right on the money my friend!

[@LilDevilz-u1u]

What was wrong with Will SMith. I liked both of them equally

[@nikschmau]

@@LilDevilz-u1u will smith is my fav ngl but this is really good i dont really like robin williams version

[@margiel6270]

Ne-Yo's voice is so diverse and fluid to listen to. I truly envy his voice. It's so natural as if the songs that he sings are second nature to him. Even when he does high notes, it's so natural and not forced. Oh, what I'd do to get a voice like his.

[@stewiec1447]

wow now I miss Robin again

[@chocopudding3889]

xD it's Peter pan

[@stewiec1447]

Jessica Osawe the cover is Tinker Bell from Peter Pan for some reason. But the song itself is from Aladdin

[@daisy_png]

Hiệp Chu Dũng It's Tinker Bell because that is the cover of the album, "We Love Disney".

See, all you gotta do is rub that lamp, and I'll say: "Mr. Aladdin, sir, what will your pleasure be? Let me take your order, jot it down?" You ain't never had friend like me Life is your restaurant and I'm your maitre'd Come on whisper what it is you want; You ain't never had friend like me! Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service. You're the boss, the king, the shah. Say what you wish; it's yours, true dish. How 'bout a little more baklava? Have some of column A try All of column B, I'm in the mood to help you, dude. You ain't never had friend like me Oh my. No no. My my my. Can your friends do this? Can your friends do that? Can your friends pull this Out their little hat? Can your friends go poof? So don't just sit there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed, I'm here to answer all your mid-day prayers, You've got me bona fide certified; You've got a genie for charge d'affaires. I've got a powerful urge to help you out, So what you wish, I really wanna know? You've got a list that's three miles long, no doubt, Well all you've gotta do is rub like so, and oh ­- Mr. Aladdin, sir, have a wish or two or three. I'm on the job you big nabob!

I kinda want this song to be in a Just Dance level, especially the Ne-Yo version. I know Prince Ali was a level, but that song really that dancelike compared to Friend Like Me.

[@PrincettaSaray]

The production on this song is AMAZING!

[@magicalmerlin5524]

that was the jazziest thing I think I've ever heard

[@avocatobean]

I love his voice. It's too beautiful ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏

Attention people, Robin Williams ain't being replaced anytime soon. A legend can't be replaced, do not worry. I assure you, this was in fact in honor of his greatness...May his soul rest in peace...:)

[@manuelorozco7760]

Amen

[@aka-tho]

😱I didn't see this coming! Good job Ne - Yo 👌

[@johnnobon]

This version paints the Genie like a sleazy used car salesman who tries to sell his services to Aladdin, and listens to jazz while smoking menthol cigarettes.

[@mewionnedu78]

[@insanecrusader379]

Well, in respect to the late king of comedy, and because I honest to God think RW is the only one who can pull off the zaniness of the song. This guy, and annapatsu are by far the closest people who made me smile while listening to their cover of this song

[@anti-venomforever780]

absolutely not, this is one of my favourite Disney songs

[@3DSDF]

It's not bad and maybe nostalgia is clogging my ears, but I think my problem with this song is that Ne-Yo is singing it straight. He sounds cool which fits the smooth jazz, but comparing to Robin Williams', Ne-Yo doesn't sound like he's having fun. His singing is definitely not bad, and towards the end, he sounds like he's letting himself get loose and just go crazy. Edit: I finally figured it out. It's energy. Ne-Yo himself isn't singing energetic until the last verse. It's like he's restraining himself while Williams was going nuts from the get-go.

[@duhhitzdj7973]

Yes, because he has to do a lot of high notes in the beginning and he's trying to save his voice for the end, as he has to get louder because he knows the music is going to be louder than him. Notice the slight change in the music's volume at the end.

[@3DSDF]

DJhinie Louis I noticed it. I guess I was expecting for it to be fast-paced from start to finish.

[@duhhitzdj7973]

3DSDF Well, that's because it's fast-paced in the movie.

[@sillyquerkylover]

+3DSDF THANK YOU!!!! it´s not bad but miss the spice

Quincy Games In 1863, 38 years before Walt Disney was born. The civil rights movement, in which African-Americans fought for better equality and the end of segregation, happened during Walt's lifetime (although he died right in the middle of it).

i can't wait for the whole album to come out 😍 i'm already in love with this cover and it's only the first song oh my goodness! october is too far 😭

[@DCMarvel2009]

This version's like the median between the Robin Williams version and the Broadway version with James Monroe Iglehart. It's slow like the Broadway version, but still big and exciting like the Robin Williams version, and has the same length (I love the Broadway version, but IT JUST DRAGS).

[@manuelorozco7760]

I never heard the Broadway version before but I loved James Monroe Iglehart in Memphis.

[@DCMarvel2009]

Manuel Orozco I liked JMI but Robin Williams is always gonna be the Genie for all the Disney kids young and old.

[@manuelorozco7760]

Otto von Doom No doubt about it. Williams is a legend who will forever be missed By the way, what I meant by Memphis was that Memphis was filmed for movie theatres at the Shubert Theatre on Broadway and he played Bobby. You've heard if it?

[@DCMarvel2009]

Manuel Orozco Surprisingly no, but I'll be sure to check it out.

[@manuelorozco7760]

Otto von Doom It's on DVD but I would find it on Amazon if I were you. I really want to see the Broadway version of Aladdin.
