Frozen FREE. In Summer is the only song that doesn't hit. Moana only has like 3 songs that are good. Now those two are really good, but can't compete with Frozen in my eyes.
Also this.

Which Disney Movie has the better Vocal Songs - Frozen or Moana?
- Thread starter TheGamingNewsGuy

Elsa is the best character, and Let it Go the best song, in Disney (film?) history.
If you have a long road trip lined up, there's a really good spotify playlist that's just Let it Go in 25 different languages that I recommend.

Definitely Moana. I think Let It Go is the best song of the bunch, but I think the feel of the other Frozen songs is just so scattered. They sound like they are all from different movies if that makes sense. Moana is more consistent, and all the songs feel like they belong together.
Also, In Summer is dreadful and Josh Gad needs to stop singing.

moana is such a better film overall, songs n all. frozen does have a song about sandwiches though.
Frozen has Love Is An Open Door...but Moana has Shiny so I'm going with Moana.
Bonus points to Moana because of You're Welcome.

Moana, and it's not even close.
As someone with a 3 year old girl who has watched both movies way too much. Moana is an amazing movie, Frozen is entirely forgettable outside of a scene or two.
Still hyped for Frozen 2 though, so...

Moana, and it's no where even close. Let It Go is definitely a S-tier Disney song and Do You Want to Build a Snowman also does it's thing of setting up the main character plot of the movie, but that's really all that Frozen has going for it. Moana is probably my favorite Disney film since Up. It's consistent with its music and also tells a better story than Elsa's tale, meanwhile, Frozen seems to get lost in itself in the second and final act.
I have no idea who Bowie is. All I know is without any context of who sang the song, "Shiny" was just a terrible Disney song which doesn't gel in with the rest of the movie. Owe owe and You're Welcome are what I think are good songs in Moana that perfectly fit in with the theme and the pacing.
Moana has the bangers for sure, but it also has the subdued moments like this that are just amazing.
What?? Is this a joke???????? On topic, I think Shiny is great, it is indeed a Disney take on Bowie and I love it for that, and I also love the whole scene as some quirky and twisted musical villain moment.
Yeah this. Tbh I'd put Tangled as one of their better films in general too.
By Bowie, do you all mean David Bowie? I'm only familiar with him from Metal Gear Solid 5 soundtracks.
I'll grant you that it is a bit jarring and weird, but man I fucking love it. Shiny isn't the best song in Moana, but it's easily my favorite. Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Concords sings it. I think David Bowie was actually supposed to sing it, but of course he passed away.
Moana and it's not close. "Do You Want To Build A Snowman" is very good, but it's an outlier. Meanwhile, every song in Moana is fantastic. It even has a better native language song. "You're Welcome" and "How Far I'll Go" get all the press, and they're both great, but "Where You Are" is crazy. There's more character development and tying into themes in just that song than in the entirety of a lot of movies.
The music in Tangled is extremely underrated, by the way. It's excellent.

Moana is my vote. I don't think any of the vocal songs in there are weak, while Frozen has that "Fixer Upper" song which I think is pretty weak.
But both are pretty amazing. Frozen has a ton of great songs.

Yes, that Bowie. He is one of the greatest musicians ever to live! If you ever check his music out (which I of course recommend to) you'll see the "tribute" thing we are talking about. Maybe you'll like the song a bit more :P
Nothing to add here. You're Welcome and Shiny are fantastic songs - I remember the joy I felt seeing/hearing them for the first time.
I literally only remember Let It Go from Frozen vs Moana having a deep set of songs, so Moana easily.
May be some bias though, since I've seen Moana a lot but I've only seen Frozen once because I thought the movie on a whole was surprisingly bad.

I prefer Frozen's songs but they are both quite good. Life's too short is the best song written for either film and they didn't even use it
No, Hans' only song is Love is an Open Door and Elsa's parts in the reprisal of For the First Time in Forever are more of a tragic hero's song than a villain's song

Frozen.
Of course.
Also a way better and more original movie. Moana started fresh but ended up as an extended, dull traversal scene at sea.
Some OK songs in Moana but mostly forgettable. The thing about Frozen though is that there are ma ny better songs than Let It Go. Never been huge on Let it Go, but For the First Time in Forever + reprise? Classic

I use to think Frozen had great music but most of it is just okay. Moana's songs were great except for the Rocks because he can't sing.
This. I love Frozen and while Let it Go was overplayed to hell it's still an incredible tune. I think For the First Time in Forever (Reprise) is underrated. That said there isn't a bad track on the Moana OST and while it's great to listen to stand alone it's also all there to serve the story and move things on.
Being from Brazil and having to listen to portuguese versions of both soundtracks a million billion times because of my 10yo and 4yo kids, I'd say Moana was much better translated, thus that's my pick.
Brazilian Portuguese versions of Moana's songs are a blast (You're welcome - "De Nada" particularly), with awesome voice actors/singers. That alone propells it much forward than the lame Frozen translation that we got over here (if you're curious, check "Livre Estou" - Let It Go.. awful translation and awful vocals). Only Olaf's song is properly awesome.
If we're talking specifically about the English version OST, I'd say Frozen is a tad better, if only because The Rock singing was pretty bad while Anna's Song and Life is an Open Door were both incredibly good.

I was extremely scared to see the poll results, but Era, sometimes you're alright.
Moana wins by an extreme landslide. "Let It Go" isn't even that great, but "Where You Are" and "How Far I'll Go" are the goat. (Also Shiny is amazing and anyone who doesn't like it hates fun)
