    What I love about "Friends on the Other Side" is all the innuendos Facilier is doing regarding how he is going to turn the Prince into a frog. For instance, saying "hop from place to place", "green is all you need", "in the future, green is what I see", etc. I love the word play he uses.

      Not to mention the card literally shows Naveen on a lily pad. Also with Lawrence, the card showed him switching places with Naveen, wearing card!Naveen's clothing, and as we see later it was meant literally. Probably something to do with the old rule that villains can't lie, especially supernatural ones, and Facilier may not be a Fae himself but it might be supernaturally enforced by his "friends" who he draws power from; although if his shadow is any indication of an irreversible change to his nature he may already be bound by the same rules, friends or not. But being unable to lie doesn't mean he has to say the truth. He says the _technical_ truth in a way his clients can interpret however they want, letting them hear what they want to hear. A con as old as time :V Also with his trickster character he likely enjoys the word games anyway, even without external rules.

      @@AfroAngola "Poor Unfortunate Souls" is my personal favorite Disney villain song (both the Pat Carroll animated original, and the Sherie Renee Scott version on the original Broadway soundtrack), but I gotta admit that, objectively speaking, nothing tops Hunchback's "Hellfire" for being the best villain song of them all. "Friends on the Other Side" is still amazing tho, and definitely a modern masterpiece for villain songs. And while "Shiny" has grown on me a lot over the years, I am sad that we haven't had a full on traditional Disney villain & their song since Facilier & Gothel's "Mother Knows Best". I'm glad that we've been getting a lot of variety from Disney over the years, but....well, coming from someone whose favorite Disney character ever is Maleficent, i suppose it's not a surprise that I miss a certain style of villain.

    NGL...never seen the movie but Friends on the Other Side is one of my favorite songs from Disney...Keith David does a lot to sell that song and character...I remember him fondly as Goliath from Gargoyles..he's got a great voice. Also I've been to New Orleans before, my maternal grandmother's sister used to live around there and we went to visit her once...place just has a feeling that suits a character like Dr. Facilier...floods like crazy though. We got caught up in a regular thunderstorm that lasted about...maybe an hour and the road in front of our hotel flooded and we had to take a detour to get to our hotel by going through a Walmart parking lot nearby.

    I used to sing a lot for choir in school till my highschool choir teacher told me I couldn't sing which really hurt me a lot. So I dropped out ,this was also when I first transferred to a new school and his teaching style was way different from what I was used to . When I tried to explain that to him he just blamed me.

    i just found this channel through your other princess and the frog video and I've got to say I'm in LOVE with your videos!! i didn't know what the different parts of the mouth were actually doing when it came to singing, let alone how changing shape affects them, but you explain it really clearly. plus you provide a lot of great background as to what genres these sounds are drawing from!! all that paired with your absolutely delightful voice and i feel like I'm back in my favorite music theory class all over again, it makes me so happy :)
    side note: i noticed that with friends on the other side, a lot of the breathiness comes across as if he's casting out a line for the characters to latch onto, only to reel them in during the more grounded parts. its a really entertaining juxtaposition to listen to and Keith David is a wonderful voice actor for sure.
