Beauty and the Beast Article: If I Can't Cinta Her atau Evermore?

posted by deedragongirl

Hello Beast!

Hi guys, since we heard the latter on Youtube, here are my opinion on both songs.

If I Can't Cinta Her

Since I got the Original Broadway Musical cast, I fell in Cinta with this song. I was very disappointed that it was not going to make it into the film this year, because it plays an important role especially since it develops the beast's personality more.

Evermore

Okay, I heard Dan Steven's rendition for this year's movie, and I felt that it doesn't hold out as powerful and does not follow suit with If I Can't Cinta Her.
For strange reasons, it reminds me of Out There from the Hunchback of Notre Dame, especially the tempo and the lyrics itself.

Let The World Be Done With Me!

Ironically, these 2 songs are covered sejak Josh Groban, go ahead and listen to them, then you'll be the judge.

Toast to the Movie!

ds12345 I like Evermore... but agree that If I Can't Love Her is more powerful and works better to develop the beast's character. One problem I always had with the original movie, and now with the 2017 film, is the question of when the beast saves Belle from the wolves... was he tracking her because he was worried? Or because he planned on dragging her back as his property? In the broadway musical, he sings If I Can't Love Her as he is overcome with guilt at having scared her. For me, it was the defining moment when he realizes that he needs to change and be a better man, which allowed me to give him the benefit of the doubt as to why he chased after her. It is also heartbreaking to hear the beast contemplate and welcome his own death, especially in the reprise. It makes for a much darker tone to the story, and better shows the extent of the beast's internal suffering. Aside from those reasons, I do think the song is just better stylistically, but I guess that's a matter of preference.

deedragongirl ^^ Well, would you say that he's felt guilty about his actions.
