Favorite dub of Dragon Soul?

Post by uncutpokemon » Sat Jul 15, 2017 1:49 pm

Being that FUNimation gave us a different dub of Dragon Soul for each DVD part, thought I'd ask which one is everyone's favorite?

Sean Schemmel

Justin Cook

Vic Mignogna

Greg Ayres

Sonny Strait

Brina Palencia

Everyone

My favourite is Vic Mignogna's version mainly because he's the best singer. Schemmel's version is decent enough.

Vic Mignogna's version is probably my favorite, but I think Ayres' version is a wonderful take that doesn't get enough attention. Same goes for Palencia's.

Recently I've warmed up a little to this song, and I have to say Vic is my favorite.

I'll say Palencia just because I really like her voice and she's a great singer of course.

Gotta go with Vic Mignogna. He's got great energy in this song. I'm in no way a Vic fan, but darn if he doesn't have pipes for songs like this or the two One Piece openings he did. I was hoping to hear him dub Super's opening too.

Vic Mignogna's version is the only one that doesn't sound like a bad Youtube cover singer. So that one.

They honestly should've just left the singing to a company that uses professional vocalists. Sometimes being a jack of all trades makes you a master of none.

1. Vic Mignogna
2. Greg Ayres
3. Sean Schemmel
4. Sonny Strait
5. Briana Palencia
6. Justin Cook

Vic is by far the best, but Greg Ayres' version was actually pretty good. Schemmel's is meh, Sonny's is good but there's a few parts that sound lackluster. Briana Palencia just sounded bored, not much energy. Justin Cook... well it wasn't terrible, but I definitely wouldn't call it good.

Vic Mignogna' cover of the song is the best by leaps and bounds. It just has the most amount of... energy into it.

Vic, easy! As stated elsewhere it has the most energy, and there's a little flavour of "Yes these lyrics are silly but WHO CARES LET'S GO!" about it that makes it all work and come together.

I also have to say that the Triple Singer mixes from late in the show just don't work at all, because the singers aren't synced up with the lyrics so they say the words at sometimes vastly different times.

S'gotta be Vic, aye.

Brina is an easy second place, and Sonnys version is good and serviceable. Greg Ayres is good too and...not going to lie, Justin Cook's is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Really, they're all good except Sean. The autotune just kills it.

Vic is the best hands down. Greg is good, so is Briana.
Sean is alright.
Justin cook sounds too much like Yusuke/Buu
