Azureth 687 October 17, 2017 Share October 17, 2017 I think it's my favorite song from the film. I think it could possibly even be up there with Scar's song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,467 October 17, 2017 Share October 17, 2017 I actually think it (Open Your Eyes) is better, because it has emotional weight attached to it as well, rather than just some declaration of evil alone. Be Prepared is pretty awesome, it is my favorite song from the Lion King after all, but Open Your Eyes has a better instrumental and tone to it. It is so good. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonMaguz 1,023 October 17, 2017 Share October 17, 2017 (edited) "Open up your eyes" is also my favorite song from the movie, but it's definitely a step or two behind "Be prepared" for me. Edited October 17, 2017 by DonMaguz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss 6,229 October 17, 2017 Share October 17, 2017 Yea I personally don't like Lion King and find it's attempts to be entertaining mundane, so "Open Up Your Eyes" is light years above any song from Lion King. Except for "Hakuna Matata" still don't like the song, but I'll give credit where credit is do. But "Open Up Your Eyes" is still better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flutt3rTree 29 October 17, 2017 Share October 17, 2017 Open up your eyes is my absolute favorite song in the movie by far. Mainly to do with the instrumental but the emotional attachment behind it was done really well my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade Fire 7,059 October 17, 2017 Share October 17, 2017 (edited) im not sure you can even compare the two. they are about two completely different things. while they are both very good songs, one is a song about one brother planning to kill the other out of greed and jealousy, while the other is about how the antagonist's life was destroyed and why they are the way they are.

Hierok 11,831 October 17, 2017 Share October 17, 2017 I think Open up your eyes is on the same level, but songs like can you feel the love tonight and hakuna matata are far better then any of the songs from the movie. If I don't understand something or Interpret it wrong, I'm dutch. Sometimes I gamble for meanings of the words. And sometimes I write the wrong words, like week and weak for example.

CheeryFox 23,821 October 17, 2017 Share October 17, 2017 NO. It's good - but TLK music is God tier. 1 Sōten ni zase...Hyōrinmaru! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackstarraven 142 October 18, 2017 Share October 18, 2017 My friend made this comparison, I make a note that poor unfortunate souls is better then be prepared. But that being said, they are not comparable. Because BPP and PUS the characters are having FUN with it. Open up yours eyes is a lament.... You want to compare it to a Disney Song? Hellfire... Compare it to Hellfire, and its pretty close over all. Open up your eyes is calmer and more controlled. (A cold burn) But its still pretty powerful.

AlbaTross 1,586 October 19, 2017 Share October 19, 2017 It's hands down my favourite song in the movie. I don't even think the music in the film is that great by the show's standards...except this song. This song is exactly the kind of amazing I was hoping for with the film's soundtrack. Oh well, Daniel Ingram really nailed this one at least. The vocals are great, the instruments are great. Heck, even this instrumental piano cover is great: In fact, listening to it this way actually makes me appreciate the complexity of this track. The piano may be the most versatile instrument there is, but it's just one instrument. There are other instruments and the vocals to boot in the actual song. Yet, it sounds sophisticated in this version, and the softer moments are even more noticeable in contrast to the more intense parts. I'm not a music expert by any means mind you. I just think this cover is kind of neat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganondox 899 October 19, 2017 Share October 19, 2017 I’d say it’s actually better, as it goes through multiple movements and has more emotional depth than just being a declaration of rebellion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaliel 116 October 21, 2017 Share October 21, 2017 A great song. Though I have to say, the original version is not quite as fantastic as the german one. see (or rather hear) for yourself with a clip of it here 1 <-plz click Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreambiscuit 9,691 October 23, 2017 Share October 23, 2017 Open Up Your Eyes is way better than Be Prepared in my opinion. It has far more emotional impact and it's easily the best song in the movie. Be Prepared is nice but it's not even close to the best in Lion King, nor is is all that high in my rankings of Disney songs in general. When I hear Tempest singing that incredible song it fills me with so much emotion, from the song itself to the way it's presented in the movie. Scar's song doesn't pack much emotion; there's no pain, desperation or really even any hate in it. It's just sort of a matter-of-fact villain song. It's cool, but I'll stick with Tempest here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Petal 215 October 23, 2017 Share October 23, 2017 Not even remotely close to being Lion King. It just keeps repeating the same lines over and over again and is kind of a boring song.

tm2dragon 12 October 26, 2017 Share October 26, 2017 I'll admit that "Be Prepared" is the better number on nearly all fronts, but Tempest's song could have pretty easily fit in to a Disney flick somewhere. A little bit of tweaking on the lyrics and pacing and you could have had a true classic! As it is, I still found it to be a fantastic song, easily my favorite MLP piece since "The Magic Inside". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunlight Swift 29 October 27, 2017 Share October 27, 2017 My lullaby>open up your eyes>be prepared Be prepared has glorious animation and a lot going on. But Tempest's lines and Twilight's expressions and the music in open up your eyes still gives a bit more feel than be prepared. My lullaby though from lion king 2 has so much power in the villains lust for revenge it just can't barely be beat as a villain song to me. She is nearly orgasmic in her fantasizing about revenge, its chilling and dramatic as all hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,851 October 27, 2017 Share October 27, 2017 I adored Open Up Your Eyes, but not as much as Be Prepared. I put Hellfire above both though, if we are just focusing on villain songs. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparklefan1234 170,616 October 27, 2017 Share October 27, 2017 (edited) I felt more badly for Tempest during her song than I did for Scar during his song since, Scar didn't have a reson to be evil besides jealousy, while Tempest felt bad because her friends abandonded her & she felt like she didn't have anyone who cared about her.

JonasDarkmane 19,785 October 27, 2017 Share October 27, 2017 Be Prepared is a far better song in my opinion. I did not think Tempest was quite an interesting villain nor was I particularly interested in her background story nor song. Sorry, but Be Prepared was much more prepared for success 5 minutes ago, Jeric said: I adored Open Up Your Eyes, but not as much as Be Prepared. I put Hellfire above both though, if we are just focusing on villain songs. And bucking agreed. You will find a hard time topping such a song. Sometimes I am still surprised that it was Disney of all companies who allowed that song to be made and presented in the film.
