POYB Review from ComingSoon.net

Deleted Song "Proud of Your Boy" by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken

This documentary goes into great detail about how this song was developed and how it meant a lot of to the late Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. You get to see the original rough footage of the scene (and Aladdin's mother) and a rough track of the song with Menken singing. It's a good song, but it doesn't compare to those left in the film. Still, it's interesting because of the emotional attachment the creators seemed to have with it.

Clay Aiken Performs "Proud of Your Boy" – American Idol runner up Clay Aiken sings this version of the deleted song. His voice is perfect for the tune and in the behind the scenes footage with the video, Menken seems very pleased with the final result. Along with a music video showing Aiken singing in front of an orchestra, you also get a short "making of" feature along with it.

Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey perform "A Whole New World" – Barbie and Ken…I mean…Jessica and Nick sing their version of "A Whole New World". They do a decent enough job, but I'm so used to the previous versions that they have a hard time comparing. The music video is just a tad awkward as Jessica seems either uncomfortable or deeply concentrating on the lyrics. Nick seems to be having a little more fun. Like the Clay Aiken video, this one is accompanied by a "making of" feature.
