Go the Distance (Hercules)
So I nominated all three Hercules songs left. But I also could have nominated all three Aladdin songs left. Just we are at Top 30 and I have pretty much no skin in this game since all my favorites have been cut (some a long time ago, some more recently) so I think it's fair that Hercules, which has 10% of the songs in this Top 30 loses one. I think the other songs left are largely stronger and I think that compared to the other two movies with three songs (Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast), Hercules falls behind. And this isn't just because I am hater (I have a lot of fondness for Hercules as one of the first movies I can remember seeing in theater and as one of the few movies I saw with just my dad). But again, we are at the Top 30. Every cut is going to be hard for people. That's the nature of a rankdown. Anyway, I like this song. It's very good. I think if Hercules has a highlight then it's the genuine quality of the three songs of Hercules that we have left. I love a good "I want" song and this fits the bill. But again, compared to the other "I want" songs left it just doesn't hit as hard. This is Hercules's only song in the movie and I think that's a fine choice. It's a great song. But we are at top 30. We have 29 great songs left.
