Aladdin - My Finest Hour (Deleted Song)

One of Jafar's many deleted songs from Disney's Aladdin! Or at least a condensed version of it. Apparently the full version is six minutes long and involves Jafar playing baseball with the Earth, but there's no trace of it online. If you have it, please send it my way because I'm dying to see it.

2:11 I wish that should’ve happened in the movie because I like the part when Abu and Raja teamed up together to stop Jafar while trying to protect their owners . But only to for Jafar to turn him back into a monkey while shrinking his age into a cub.

Most people think this is one of the worst ones, but after listening to it a few times, I actually really like it.

[whatok]

Nice to finally see it, glad it was cut out. There's too much talking, "Why Me" should've been in the movie

This song is basically 80% dialogue, 20% singing

[EmperorsKriegsman]

Most of the song is Hit or Miss, but that last part turns him from just evil to pure walking madness, and Honestly, the last part makes up for the entire song

R.I.P. Robin Williams & Gilbert Gottfried

The scene wasn’t cut, but the removing this song was the right call. The Prince Ali reprise is waaay better, and this song is literally just the same scene but with an itty, bitty bit of extra singing… and Iago suggesting where to send the tower.

[Tartubeman]

So This is where Jafar's leitmotif came from!

[ProdByClockwerk]

Why me and humiliated boy sound waaaay to peppy and happy for Jafar. This version fits the Jafar Character to a t!

There were so many jafar songs and scenes all deleted

[MovieEnforcer]

0:44 sounds a bit like the imperial march.

[leociresi]

Slave! I make my third wish, I wish to be, an all powerful genie!

[LoveGrizzlyPolarBear]

This is darker cause Iago becomes best friends with Aladdin and Abu later on but before he is redeemed, he worked with Jafar and during that take over, he's the one who suggested to Jafar for Aladdin and Abu to be sent it to the center of the earth for permanent exile and death

[GalaxyRoyal]

If I have to do a Top 3 of Jafar’s deleted songs:
1. *Why Me?* Glad that it’s in Aladdin musicals as Jonathan Freeman played Jafar on stage until his final performance in 2022
2. *My Finest Hour* it explains his desire to feel evil and powerful for making a threatening villain
3. *Humilate The Boy* No comment, glad that it wasn’t included in the Final Cut which would’ve made Jafar silly and a villain parody.

Came here after I met Paolo Domingo as the French voice of Aladdin from the 90s at a convention this year in 2024 but he only voiced Aladdin in the first animated movie, The Return Of Jafar and Kingdom Hearts 2 on PlayStation 2. 🇫🇷

2:43-4 Anyone notice Aladdin has a slight gut?

[GMC]

Actually I like this version much better than the prince Ali song from Jafar either why me version

[alexanderwaters]

Genie: You know al I'm getting eally- i don't think you're him. tonight The part of al will be played by a tall, dark, and sinister ugly man.

[redstreak]

Why Me > this > Humiliate the Boy imo. Idk where to rank Prince Ali Reprise but I think it works overall even if Jafar didn’t get a dedicated song to himself. It is interesting that this is the closet to the final movie.

[lars]

It would’ve made the finale a bit more sophisticated, but it didn’t fit the movies vibe tbh

[isaiahadams]

It’s cool but “Why Me” was much better
