Pinkie Pie is Popular!



Pinkie Pie or Rarity? Who has the best vocals?

I have no clue if this is just a really well done re-tune of Rarity, or if it's actually Pinkie Pie's singer. It's awesome anyway.

I claim this discussion in the name of Rarity.

._. Pinkie, did you mess with physics again?

Fallin' Winter said...

I'm pretty sure it's just a retune it sounds too chipmunkey to be Pinkie's singer. That being said, this is my favorite song this season. It's so girl pop like that it's catchy. Or something. I dunno.

MonSter said...

it's a retune.. I hear a shade of Rarity's posh accent :)

Here you all go, Doubled version; http://youtubedoubler.com/?video1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D5rE3PavFpvc&start1=0&video2=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DnmHcj-Cg0Is&start2=0&authorName=Skruller

Xindi said...

Pretty sure that's a retune. You can kinda hear some slight (not at all that noticable) distorion occaisionally. But yeah, really fantastic retune job on that. I also second the call for a duet!

Daisymare said...

I haven't seen the episode yet! I hate having to wait.

Nimbus Buster said...

@Eliteorange3000 Hahaha ask and you shall recieve

though it was a little off, but simple fix :D

Wow, kudos to whoever can imitate Pinkie's voice that well, with software or not!

Peanut Crunch said...

In the words of TG&P Trixie, "Was there ever any doubt?"

Wait. If she's so popular...WHY HASN'T SHE HAD AN EPISODE YET?! :(. Chocolate rain, chickens and party canons aren't enough!

Starfire said...

That is fantastic.

Deibron said...

What you don't know it that pinkie assists as a back up sing for every song, ever sung in Equestria, every single time.

why? Because she can...

Jam said...

GIVE ME MORE PINKIE PIE!

jrk08004 said...

It's totally a retune, but that doesn't make it any less amazing.

InkBluPegasus said...

Anyone else notice Derpy in the song?

Unknown said...

Sounds like they've just adjusted the formant or something.

Dark said...

sorry Rarity is better X<

also it's a retune, too high-pitched to be Pinkie's singer.

Octavia said...

Inb4 and after "It's a retune" several dozen times. lol

It still sounds cool though.

Col. Hoofstrong said...

Even tho it's a retune, it's still neat.

Mike said...

@Xindi

If true, it's a darned good one.

InkBluPegasus said...

@Unknown

In her halloween outfit for some reason...

nettick said...

Guys we know its a retune. You don't need to keep saying it.

Krystal said...

Retune. i know this for a fact because i do similar methods for one of my voice actors in my abridged series so they sound more like Pinkie Pie. well done though.

Cyl said...

Yeah, it's a retune. If it was Pinkies singer there would be some differences in delivery. There's a version of the opening theme sung by Shannon Chan-Kent (Pinkie Pie). Beside the obvious change in pitch you can her some differences in delivery. I'm not a music person so I hope all that makes sense.

But it was a very well done. Good job!

123stw said...

We need to Pinkify every Pony song that exist!!!!

Because singing Pinkie is best Pinkie.

pivotmaniac10 said...

PINKIE PIE EPISODE.
NOW, HASBRO! *Prepares whip* NOW!

Maquabra said...

Pink Poni is The Best Poni! - let's not wander stray from the truth.

Still, pinkiefying songs is not a good idea imo as this one is simply full of squeaking what sometimes literally hurts my ears. Get Shanon Chan Kent to sing this song and I'll start puking rainbows of joy!

Tears of a Valedictorian said...

It's even more eighties pop with Pinkie-style vocals. Love that song.

Ligartho said...

Pinkie-Pie is best pony!!!!

Arlax said...

Rarity has too many episodes in season 2. We want some other ponies episodes! Twilight (without madness ¬¬), fluttershy, pinkie...

Leroy Wingkins said...

Yes, Pinkie IS famous.

Latioenx said...

Arlax, she's only had TWO. Rainbow Dash had TWO. Twilight has had ONE, so she'll get another, and then hopefully the other ponies will get two.

twdurgan said...

@Arlax
So, you're basically saying, ahem...
"Out of all the worst things that could happen, this is THE. WORST. POSSIBLE.THING."
C wat I did thar?

Masquerade said...

At the beginning, it sounded just like Pinkie, but it slowly trailed off. Still, it's amazing.

Masquerade said...

I can't see the double on mobile!
;_;

Arlax said...

@twdurgan
I see what you did there... But that's not what I'm saying. I don't hate Rarity and I'm not saying that the episode was horrible (I really liked it). What I mean is that I want some other ponies episodes. Just that.

Pele2048 said...

Pinkie Pie wouldn't say, "Crème de la crème."
That's too fancy.
Pinkie Pie doesn't speak in fancy.

Something To Quack About said...

I doubled them up (and then had to screw with the timing to get it to sync up)... two things:

1. When doubled up, they sound kind of like Cindy and Maxine from En Vogue doing a duet. (Pinkie being Cindy and Rarity being Maxine).

2. The song takes on a slightly minor-key feel. It actually sounds quite sad, particularly the ending.

Also, "Pinkie" version is awesome. Too bad there's no reasonable way to make a Rainbow Dash or Twilight version (even if they'd never sing this song, for different reasons).

Something To Quack About said...

Also, the Pinkie version on its own makes me think of Kylie Minogue.

Travis Smith said...

Haha, that's not how you spell Rainbow Dash

But the vid and vocals were really good

The Grey Potter said...

There were sound effects in the background occasionally, so I think it's a retune. But, yeah, a very, very good retune =O I really enjoyed it!

Castlewise said...

@Latioenx

Twilight had two. The episode with Luna was a Twilight episode.

Seirei said...

Rarity version is still better... Or should I say FABULOUS?

Dantes_Grill said...

i didnt think Rarity sounded like herself during the singing part of the episode, so Pinkie has the best vocals =P

Arlax said...

@Castlewise
It was more a Luna's episode than Twilight.

Knux said...

This looks re-tuned. I can tell from some of the pitches and from seeing quite a few re-tunes in my time.

TheWerePony said...

I can tell after 10 seconds that they've just made the pitch higher.

Ballistic said...

Forget a dvd box set, get us a pony concert.

Joe said...

It's a re-tune, I could tell within the first 10 seconds.

palaminopegasus said...

It wouldn't make sense for Pinkie's Singing voice actress to sing this song without it being in the show or it was not even acknowledged by the singer or hasbro or anyone else behind the show

Rarodar said...

i think pinkie pie does better singing.

Huckey Mont'yr said...

A nice re-tune indeed. It would be splendid if he makes some more of these.

Maybe not exactly Pinkie, but I enjoyed it. And like I keep saying, I can never decide who is my favorite. But considering that Pinkie busted out her crazy cannon yesterday, it's leaning towards her again. Though that will probably change within the next 24 hours.

cjwcjwcjwcjw said...

Oh come on Seth, can't you hear the strange glitchy noises that confirms that this is a retune?

It would be awesome if Shannon Chan-Kent did sing this just for a reply though...

Is the Cake Really a Lie? said...

@InkBluPegasus Yeah. Not Chuck Testa.

SunAndMoon said...

It's definitely a retune

Skylark Torch said...

This is definitely a re-tune.
I mess with audacity too much not to know.

youtube|UsurperKingZant said...

Pinkie Pie vs Rarity: Who is the better singer?

You could not make this any harder

Rarity is so regal and elegant. Pinkie Pie is so enthusiastic and energetic

I CAN'T DECIDE!

Aponybrony said...

OMG!!! 0o0

I love this!!!

Dan Guitar-Guy Gaertner said...

I notice when Rarity sings it sounds similar Tarja Turunen from Nightwish, but I'm still kinda stuck on who has a better voice. But for this specific song I vote Rarity.

solarsun said...

Just wow, that's a very good retune.

Now where is the pinkie centered episode. She is after all the best pony! :o!

Jelly Bean said...

Is this that leaked song I've heard so much about?

Ragneki5880 said...

That's one crazy retune. Sound so much like Pinkie Pie.

pokemonmegaman said...

Yeah, it's definitely a re-tune. You can clearly hear the distortion and clipping. Nice job though, if it weren't for the distortion, I would've thought it was actually pinky pie.

Koji said...

Okay so we know for pretty much a fact now that we're never going to see a DVD or blu-ray box set... I have made peace with that... but for the love of celestia why the HELL hasn't hasbro released an official Pony CD? Lots of songs, check. Marketable to children, check. Would sell lots and lots, check.

Alexstrazsa said...

In hindsight, I probably should have written "It's a retune" somewhere on the video. Hold on, I got it! ANNOTATIONSSSS!

Jimperator said...

Next up: Colt and young Filly versions.

SgtGarand said...

It does sound pretty close to Pinkie, but it just doesn't seem like the kind of song she'd sing to begin with. I'm just wondering when we'll get a Pinkie episode and when the leaked song will show up because it was pretty awesome.

Kat said...

Personally I think Rarity sounds better with it, but its a cool video

Mikel said...

One thing I never understood about the show is why Tara Strong and Tabitha St. Garmin never do their own singing. Both have amazing singing voices and could easily provide the vocals for their characters (Tara sang as Princess Clara in Drawn Together and it was beautiful). Ashlegh Bell provides both Rainbow Dash and Applejack's vvoices and singing voices and Andrea Libman does Fluttershy's (She can't do Pinkie's because it strains her voice to even do Pinkie's high pitched voice in the first place so I can understand that). So why do Twilight and Rarity need seperate singing talent?

Wolf-man said...

Really good re-tune. They did a good job of making it sound like Pinkie.

4d4f5c2a-0f40-11e1-b2f5-000bcdcb8a73 said...

@Mikel

Tara Strong probably can't because she is in the US while the rest of the cast is in Canada. It'd probably be feasible for her to record her singing in a studio in the US and send it up north, but I'm assuming there's hurdles with that. I'm guessing they'd prefer to be in studio and in person with the other singers, composers, and sound engineers if they're going to record a song. Just my hypothesis since she says she gets singing lessons and has sung in many other shows previously.

Why Tabitha doesn't sing is beyond me. Has she ever in other shows?

Broznik said...

Yipe... WHY DOES THIS FANDOM PRODUCE SO MUCH GREATNESS? Really great retune... if it isn't pinkie's voice actress, its a VERY good mimic. Color me impressed! :D

Pyrobug said...

Definitely a retune, but it sounds quite spot on. Nicely done, sir or madame.

Fedge said...

I vote to PINKIE PIE ALL THE SONGS!

Pinkie is #1 in my book. ^_^

broniesinarms said...

It sound like a rarity re-tune :(

compare the vocals with corridors of cupcakes and you'll see it sounds different to pinkie's voice just slightly.

milleniummaster18 said...

Lol, Rarity die-hard fans have to come in defense of her. Pinkie is the queen of this party, bitches.

Viridian said...

I vote for Sweetie Belle version!

(In all seriousness, though, this was an excellent re-tune, but I think I like the original version just a smidge more.)

Something To Quack About said...

@Viridian

Sweetie Belle version only if she sings like she did in Stare Master.

Senior Waffles said...

Not going based off this video but I'd have to say Rarity's vocals are a bit better. When they start getting into the higher registers, which unfortunately isn't often, Pinkie's is better. Probably because she just sings at a higher register to begin with. However, during the syllabic parts (which is most parts of the songs in the show) Rarity's voice and timbre are better.

Laeko Randalis said...

Hum, unfortunately I can tell that's still Kazumi Evans just re-tuned.
A true comparison would be if we heard Shannon Chan-Kent singing this tune. Now, that said, having heard her in Smile Smile Smile, I'm going to leave it at this:

Kazumi Evans seems to have the more "professional" voice, smooth and controlled, and this song especially did her voice justice.

Shannon Chan-Kent's voice is higher-pitched, which to me is already a great thing (I like high-pitched). It may not be as smooth and professional as Kazumi Evans, however, one can hear a lot of energy and passion behind it at all times, which is equally good.

So, pitch aside, if I had to pick a voice to perform, I'd choose Kazumi Evans for more classical and otherwise classy pieces, but I'd choose Shannon Chan-Kent for less formal music.
