Back in the old days I lumped her in with Dominique Poulain who I don't enjoy because they both had those soft voices, but I grew to like how unique and sorta spooky Danielle was, whereas I still don't really like Dominique's whisper.
I think this is the first Aurora ranking I have ever watched, I used to have this rule where I never watched rankings of characters I haven’t ranked myself because I didn’t want to be influenced by others’ opinions, so I can only compare our tastes. And you went straight in and broke my heart with Greek. Hard agree on Danish. Swedish is my favourite Aurora, and I agree with what you said about her voice. I think it’s a fair point that a sleeping beauty can sound sleepy but French 81 has always been like… too sleepy to me. It’s like she’s already asleep and we’re watching her dream where everything is a bit lulled. Czech, Bulgarian and German
I'm glad you're going back through these lol. I don't avoid ranks when working on mine bc that would be too hard - YEARS going by without watching them? No thanks. I know I'll have my opinions regardless of consensus, and if someone's word DOES make me change my feelings on something then I think that's actually a good thing - it has happened before.
@@raneemacintosh6842 I had this weird mindset where I didn’t want that to happen so I just completely ignored every ranking, I can’t really reason with what the 20ish year old me was thinking back then because I have no idea. I love watching your rankings so this is a lot of fun :D I will be using them as a distraction when I want to take a break from my master’s thesis
Greek is like Norwegian and a few others, it hits the right qualities objectively but somehow I just don't like listening to it. And I almost think I'd put the French lower too, but I just couldn't separate them, and I 'appreciate' them even more than I 'love' them.
Always loved your rankings because of the comments. In fact, I think you are my inspiration for writing detailed comments and I think your font is great. #1 is phenomenal and I can't help but wonder why you tend to have the "mainstream" voices at the bottom and the not-so popular ones at the top. BTW, why wasn't Johanna Nurmimaa's version included?
I adore your editing, very Aurora ! I don't agree with some of your places like EU portuguese, greek, hebrew, dutch (they're too low) but I love your number 1 and Brazilian Portuguese :)
Most people use a screencap from the forest as the bg in Aurora videos but I wanted to go with something a little more regal, and I always found those gems and cups in the little tea cabinet so eyecatching!
Back from Spain, it's comment time :D I can't remember if I told you, but Aurora was one of your rankings I had watched the most, mainly because I love listening to I Wonder and we have pretty similar opinions here, so it was always entertaining to see! Except for maybe Finnish '95 which I'd put in the lower end of the top 25 I think I agree fully with the low placements. I was a little surprised by Alma at number 27, but then again her I Wonder did open my eyes quite a bit, she does have a certain elegance there even though her OUAD is probably one of the worst things she ever recorded. Also agreed on Korean, never cared for her. Also definitely gotta agree on May being better in the older version, in fact she's quite a bit higher now than in my ranking, because she sounds more playful and loose, sorta reminds me of Pia Douwes' trailer version of Colors Of The Wind. Honestly, I wouldn't really agree with Joke's placement here, probably would've switched it with Païvi tbh. She sounds a little uninvolved and soulless, I don't hear a playful coyness that makes me like an Aurora voice. Well, I think Brigitta is a great Aurora, one of my faves, but I think I can forgive her number 20 spot because YAS I just saw Janjira get a top 20 spot :D Truly one of my favorite Janjira's, except TLM2 maybe. Your top 15 is absolute bae, but real talk, we have the exact same voices in the top 5, which is why I'd say out of all the characters this is the one we agree on the most. And of course, our shared number 1, whose vocals are one of the most beautiful sounds in any Disney movie, the day I won't enjoy every second of hearing Mary Costa singing with the birds is the day I die. Absolutely love your ranking, made me feel so good watching it :)
