Colors of the Wind - Vanessa Hudgens










VANESSA HUDGENS has been making quite a name for herself here on the internet. So I decided to post a song that the Disney Channel and High School Musical star recorded a few years back for DISNEYMANIA 5.

This is what I like to call a karaoke cover. There really is nothing special about this version of Colors of the Wind. The music is plain and ordinary. Whoever reworked the music didn't really out any effort into making it special. And Hudgens doesn't go out of her way to do anything with her vocals to make this version better than the Pocahontas original.

I do like that she included the 'You think I'm an ignorant savage' part at the beginning. It shows that this is actually a cover of the movie version of the song and not the radio version. But other than that, the song is pretty drab. But that is my opinion. What do you think?

I have to agree with you regarding Vanessa H. cover of this song. She tries IMO, to make it sexy pop.

I think a simpiler less nasal take would have been better.

Thanks for posting/sharing. I actually didn't know that there was an un edited version of the song.

I believe this is completely the wrong way to go with a classic song like this. In my opinion, the best cover of the song (obviously not including the original) would be Vanessa William's. It gives the song a different feel, but keeps the same awesomeness.
