Who should sing the English version of "Dragon Soul" next?
As many of you now know, Sean Schemmel's version of "Dragon Soul" has been replaced in the latest DVD/Blu-Ray box set release by another version sung by Justin Cook. FUNimation confirmed via their twitter account, though, that apparently each box set will have a different singer singing the opening theme:

I for one think this is pretty cool. I can understand how some people may find this confusing or frustrating, but I think it's cool that we'll be exposed to such a wide variety of different interpretations of the song. It'll never really get old that way. Plus, it's "Dragon Soul"...it doesn't hold the special place in my heart that Chala Head Chala does, so I'm okay if a couple different versions get released.
So let me ask, who do you guys think should sing it for the next box set? My vote's for Chris Sabat, personally. I like his singing voice.

"To think of fighting that is this fun...so, it was pleasant fight, as many as, therefore is a feeling which is good the fight where."

I want a girl to sing it next, maybe Colleen Clinkenbeard.

Monica Rial.

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

They could always pull a We Are and have the entire main cast sing.

I'd like to hear Chris Sabat sing "Dragon Soul" myself. As for other voice actors, what about Eric Vale? I'm sure he could sing.

Jimi Tunnel needs to sing Dragon Soul. He's the guy who sang Makafushigi Adventure!.

I'd like Chris Sabat to sing it next or Vic Mignogna to finally do a full 1:25 version.

Oh my. My ears hurt after that one. But I do also think a female should be the next one to sing it. Maybe whoever did "Midnight Sun" in Tenchi Muyo! GXP.SonGokuGT wrote:Scratch that... Saw this on ANN: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DaQy7pfgYI

Justin Cook's version (the one off Kai part 2) just has no enthusiasm. Sean's might not have been the best singing ever, but he sounded like he cared about the song and did his best. Justin's just seems like he went in the booth did one take and called it a day.
If anyone has a karaoke version of the song, I wouldn't mind doing a take, I am actually a singer.
