AFI's 100 Years… 100 Songs

"Under The Sea" From The little mermaid and "A Whole new world" fromAladdin, and songs from Bambi " April Showers", As well as songs fromDumbo like "When I see an Elephant Fly", The Star Wars, The Lord of therings, and The Phantom Of The Opera (although recent they could put itin there if they re-due the show). Those soundtrack’s should have gotmentioned. just to name a few. Those Disney Songs were and still areextremely popular songs and I was irritated at the fact that theyweren’t in this show. I hope they re-due this show with maybe moresongs in it. I liked John Travolta hosting it, that was awesome!! Ithink it actually needed more of Travolta in it too.

2) I’m a 16 year old resident of Canada, and music is a big part of mylife. Many of the songs featured in this countdown of the top 100 bestmovie songs are songs that I had already heard before. Many of those Iknew some lyrics. Even if the show lasted about three hours, it wasworth listening to. A lot of great songs were selected to be among thetop 100 and I would say the choice was excellent.

I may be young, but there are some old classics that should be a partof every generations’ repertory, and this special TV show showcasedsome of the best songs I have heard in my whole life.

It is really nice to be able to share the songs along with my motherand this is really a must-see show. Adults a well as teenagers and evenyounger kids will enjoy singing along to the songs they know and love.

I hope they will broadcast it again!

3) When it appeared on British TV I came in on song number 26 so I missedan awful lot but having seen the 26 I am now determined to get thewhole show. John Travolta as the host was made for the part and hisexit to the music from his film was great. The people who commented onthe individual songs were very good indeed, genuine and sincere inthere comments and well known in their own right ie Andy Williams PaulSimon Art garfunkel etc and there comments were spot on. The whole 26 Isaw were a pleasure to hear, Singing in the rain ole man River WhiteChristmas and of course Somewhere over the Rainbow were just an exampleof the sheer quality of the contents of this programme. The hard partnow is finding the whole programme any suggestions.

4) AFI’s 100 Years 100 Songs was a great show to watch and sing alongwith. I did wish Travolta had a bigger part with more introductions, hedid not even say anything about his personal entry of "Summer Nights"from "Grease". I was also expecting him to make comments on his idol ofJames Cagney and "Yankee Doodle Dandy" being his favorite film as achild. But having Bette Midler and Barbara Streisand making commentswas so Awesome, they are amazing women who can sing and act. LizaMenelli would have been a great addition as well but her sister wasgreat, but only commenting on mother Judy Garland. Of course one couldhave picked Judy Garland and "Over The Rainbow" as number one from thestart but all the songs and comments from 100 to 1 was great fun towatch.

5) I saw this program a few months ago, and was absolutely delighted. Somany fantastic songs from so many fabulous movies. There were somesongs I wanted to see there, like "A Whole New World", and also "TheMorning After" (The Poseidon Adevnture), but all in all I must admitthey made a pretty good list. Many of the songs I had never heardbefore, but fell in love with them after the program, like the songfrom Snow White, and Evergreen. It was also interesting to see how manysongs Barbra had on the list. What an amazing artist.This is he kind ofprogram you can watch over and over again. Personally, I wouldn’t mindhearing more of each song, but guess the program would then be too long:( And Audrey… What a beautiful actress, and also a very very goodsinger. Outstanding!

6) I loved this special,this list was much better than their Heroes andVillains list."Singin’ in the Rain","Old Man River","Wind Beneath MyWings","Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend","9 to 5","SummerNights","Somewhere Over The Rainbow","Stayin’ Alive","I Had The Time ofMy Life","Beauty and The Beast","I Will Always love You","The Sound ofMusic","Footloose","Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong","All ThatJazz","Puttin’ on the Ritz","New York New York","Hakuna Matata","BornTo Be Wild","Jailhouse Rock","That Oldtime Rock n Roll" were all greatpicks for this list.I was pleasantly surprised they included "RainbowConnection" from The Muppet Movie.

But there were a few songs that should’ve been listed.Where were "TheTime Warp" from Rocky Horror Picture Show,"Ghostbusters","Don’t You"from The Breakfast Club,"You’re the One That I Want" from Grease,thetheme of the Godfather,any of the Beatles’ songs,"You’re a Mean One Mr.Grinch","Under The Sea" from Little Mermaid?

Overall it was great but I still think some of these other songsshoulda made it.
