gkgyver 1,645 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 BB, you're interpreting way too much into the choice of end credits singers on The Hobbit. Not much thought went into the first two, Ed Sheeran is living proof. I don't believe for a second that it was in any way, shape of form planned to use only male singers.We'll see!If it will be Enya indeed, though, then I think we can safely assume the last song won't be as awful as the first two.It was still the "worst" of the choices for the LotR trilogy, compared to Torrini, Lennox, Fleming, Sissel, and so on.

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 May It Be is OK. And it's freakin' awesome compared to Finn and that other dude's songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,715 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 May It Be is OK. And it's freakin' awesome compared to Finn and that other dude's songs.Yeah. LotR trilogy actually improved on each end credits song in my opinion. Enya's new age-y work was ok but Gollum's Song in its interesting combination of Shore's melody and Torrini's vocals and Into the West with surprising choice but spot on voice of Lennox provided great end credits songs keeping much more in the spirit of Tolkien I feel (naturally my sensibilities are more of orchestral music but still).

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 aNot really. In the case of two latest films no songs as such were planned. They are both kind of 11th hour additions.KarolEr it was a given that each hobbit film was going to have and end credit song like each fotr movie had. I just cant see jackson deciding to lose some marketing money which is this 'lets put a popular singer sing in the credits' all about.I always saw it as a cheap way to make more mainstream people interested in the films. Been done a lot of that in hollywood, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,016 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 No, the first film was supposed to end with a reprise of the Dwarf song. Yet somehow it didn't feel righ so they hired Finn. The second film's song, as we know, came very late, too. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second film's song, as we know, came very late, too.KarolI would have loved a full version of the song with all the verses performed either by the cast or a choir. But they tried it and thought it lacked energy so they hired a song writer/singer to spruce things up a bit. Ya-ya-ya-ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
