The Princess Diaries [Soundtrack]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
In the '60s, the comedy The Princess Diaries might have starred Walt Disney favorite Hayley Mills, who often found her characters in similarly farfetched situations. Forty years on, it's a Disney flick, but with a few crucial updates. Among them is this soundtrack album, which collects non-threatening tracks aimed as much at prepubescent kids as teenagers. (When Melissa Lefton chirps, "I love life, life loves me / Everything in the world makes me happy," it's a moment as far from Cobain-style angst as any in post-"Smells Like Teen Spirit" pop.) Even the biggest names here (Backstreet Boys, Diaries costar Mandy Moore) clock in with music hardly as interesting as their genuinely sweet hits; almost everyone else supplies producer-driven filler that seems barely able to rouse even the sunniest child listener. The cheerleading of B*Witched's "Hold On" and Lil' J's cover of Salt 'n' Pepa's "Ain't Nuthin' but a She Thing" are nothing to complain about, but the disc seems designed to go in one ear and out the other. --Rickey Wright

The soundtrack to Disney's 2004 Cinderella sequel The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement offers a wide variety of young Disney stars (Raven--who has a small part in the movie--Lindsay Lohan, Jesse McCartney, Christy Carlson Romano), hot vocalists (American Idol's Kelly Clarkson, Norah Jones), and head-banging rockers (Avril Lavigne, Pink). The best tracks are Clarkson's "Breakaway," Raven's "This Is My Time," Renee Olstead's Norah-esque "A Love That Will Last," and "Your Crowning Glory," a duet between Raven and Julie Andrews. It's not a flashy showcase for Andrews, who begins it in a half-sung, half-spoken style before Raven joins her to a funky beat. But just hearing the beloved film and stage star sing at all after the problems she's experienced following botched vocal-cord surgery in the late '90s... well, it might just bring a tear to your eye. --David Horiuchi

5 out of 5 stars Good Songs from the Movie.......2007-01-05

These are songs from the moive. They are great songs.

4 out of 5 stars Surprise, Surprise..........2006-03-10

I love the movies, so I checked out what kind of soundtrack that would accompany it...and, surprisingly, it was a really good blend of light inspiring pop and soft romantic ballad, true to the sense of the movie, that Mia, has grown up a lot, but still has a little ways to go. My favorite tracks include or course the lucious-sounding "Love Me Tender" by Norah Jones and the Jazzy "Love That Will Last" by Renee Olstead who is only 14 years old with that beautifully aged voice! This is not my absolute favorite soundtrack, but the most surprising one. The music editor for the film gets high marks for matching music to film so wonderfully.

4 out of 5 stars Not my favorite but worth of buying.......2006-01-10

What can I say? It haves some great songs and some I always skip when I listen to this album.

First two songs (Breakaway, I Decide) were pretty good, not my all-time favorite, but really, really good! I don't like Lindsay, but this her song rock. Kelly is great as always.
Breakaway - 3.5/5
I Decide - 4/5

3rd, Raven's song, This is my Time is one of my two fave songs on album. It's great and bit strange, but it have contest and words are easy to remember. Not much for dancing, but great!
This is my time - 5/5

I always get what I want and Trouble are Ok I guess. I'm not much into Rock/Hip Hop or that kind of music, I'm more for 'sweet' kind, if you get my, but this are good songs for parties and they are trendy.
I Always Get What I want - 3/5
Trouble - 2.5/5

To be quite honest, I tried to like Jesse McCartney, but I can't... His voice isn't anything special and his songs are usually boring. Because you live is his best song if you ask me, but still not something 'WOW'.
Because you live - 2.5/5

Love Me Tenderly haves good sound, sweet, light, romantic, but not anything what I don't hear everyday. It becomes boring after while and I never have chance to listen it all.
Love me Tenderly - 2/5

Fun In the Sun, Let's Bounce, Dance, Dance, Dance and Fools are tracks that I always skeep. They are just.... boring. I don't like them, at al.
Fun In the Sun - 0.25/5
Let's Bounce - 1/5
Dance, Dance, Dance - 0.5
Fools - 1.25/5

After 4 pretty boring song, there comes A Love That Will Last who amazing! Renee haves wonderful voice and she's only year older then me when she sang this song. When I found out that, I needed to play this song to everybody and ask them how many years they think this girl has. They all didn't believe me that she's only 15. My 2nd fave song on this album.
A Love That Will Last - 5/5

Julie Andrews's voice isn't good as it was, but she still can sing. After all, look how many years she haves! Raven is great, of cores, the song has good lyric, rime, tune and it's great.
Your Crowing Glory - 4.5/5

Although it took me while to understand that Jonny is singing on Chinese in Miracles Happen, this song is great also! Maybe fun, but have good lyric and tune. I like it!
Miracles Happen - 4/5

You'll probably wonder why I like this album so much when I don't like so amny songs: Song what are bad, are bad. But songs what are good are perfect! Only cause them I bought this album, and I didn't repent any moment.

5 out of 5 stars Great!.......2005-10-09

I loved this.
FAVES:
1. I Always Get What I Want - You guys have no taste! How can you hate this song? Anyone who hates this is CRAZY!
2. Let's Bounce - Great party song.

2 out of 5 stars great listening.......2007-02-07

Nice listening and partying music from a seemingly low-brow but funny and wise movie.

5 out of 5 stars Girl Power!!.......2005-08-20

I recently bought this soundtrack and i absolutley love it! The movie is great and the songs are total girl-power. Teens, you'll love this, but it's also appropriate for moms and little girls! This is great track to play when you're getting ready in the morning, it give you a definate boost!!

3 out of 5 stars I have a question..........2005-07-03

I liked the disk i suppose..but i was wondering, which is the song mia listens to on her diskman while shes getting her makeover done ??..mail me..pl..i really liked that song..

5 out of 5 stars Princess Mia Rox!.......2005-06-08

This is a great listen! So many on here are good but a couple are annoying. It's well worth the money. The second one is not. The movie is just as good. The second movie sucks!

4 out of 5 stars Princess, you rock!!.......2004-11-28

This CD is one of the best. Here are my ratings:
5/5 Supergirl-One of the best songs on the album. Totally girlpower which rox!!

4/5 Miss You More- Really nice ballad
2/5 Crush- makes me fall asleep listening!
5/5 What makes You Different- This song is so beautiful. I love this ballad!!!!
5/5 Miracles Happen- If i ever need a mental boost, like on the way to a swim meet, I listen to this and I get really Pyched up. It ROX!!!
4/5 Always Tomorrow-Pretty Good
3/5 Away w/ the summer days- pretty song, but a little boring
1/5 Stupid Cupid- Take out "cupid" from the title, and you've pretty much described the song
4/5 Wake Up- Great instrumentals
5/5 HAppy Go Lucky-Dancey, feel good song
5/5 I love Life- Ditto
0/5 Ain't nuthin but a She thing- people conside this to be music????????????

5 out of 5 stars Where to find this???.......2005-08-17

If you have fallen in love with the seemingly timeless track that plays throughout the movie, then you are probably wondering, as did I, where can I find this?? Because most certainly, no one in there right mind should have to pay 80+ dollars for a CD- no matter how wonderful it is. BUT- as I came across a few months ago- there is a solution. Ever heard of iTunes?? You can buy the entire album for $9.99. Yes, it's true. And it is wonderful. Yes, the music doens't nessecarily flow all the well, but who really cares?? The music is gorgeous, and I strongly recommend the purchase of this CD.

5 out of 5 stars A regal score.......2004-11-08

A wonderful flowing musical score that delights at everystep. It is hard to find but worth the effort. Long live the monarchy!

5 out of 5 stars Pure Genius.......2003-08-24

This CD is one of the best I have ever listened to! It shows the elegance of the movie instead of the pop and rap music on the regular soundtrack. It's great to listen to while reading and especially good while doing homework or studying since orchestra music opens the mind. I strongly recommend purchasing this CD!

- Jaclyn

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful orchestral score.......2003-01-13

John Debney has composed a jaunty, heart-warming score for this movie. I recommend this CD and the movie to people of all ages, not just to the kids that the movie was aimed at. If you have trouble finding this score, try specialty soundtack outlets like Screen Archives Entertainment or Intrada. Warning: please do not confuse this delightful score CD with the awful pop songs CD; avoid that pop songs collection at all costs.

5 out of 5 stars A hidden gem.......2002-09-15

I say "hidden" gem because I didn't even know this album existed until one year after the movie came out. And the fact that the only place I've seen it for sale was on Amazon.com just tells you what rare a find this is. I've been a fan of "The Princess Diaries" for quite some time now, and I've always loved the beautiful score. The music really captures the elegance of the film, the same way the pop music soundtrack caputures the "teeny bopper" aspect of the film (does anyone use that term anymore?). The music is very classical and the orchestrations are wonderful--it almost sounds too good to be a movie score! It's great to listen to when you just want to sit back, relax, and have a nice cup of tea. ;) I only wish the Disney company would have marketed this soundtrack a little better so I could have learned about it sooner! (At least display it next to the pop soundtrack--jeesh.) A must-have for any "Princess Diaries" fan.
