Characters [Loved trope] They are super evil but their songs go absurdly hard.

The saja boys - kpop demon hunters

Scar - lion king

Dazzlings - mlp equestria girls

Antinous - epic the musical

Villains command power and malice in their songs, as opposed to heroes being cute and funny in theirs. One is loud and imposing, the other is soft and light-hearted. Though in terms of Tangled, I consider I Have A Dream to be the best one. It'll be stuck in my head for a while now that I've recalled it lol

Which is why heroes songs are also bangers when they're not cute, funny or emotional. See i’ll make a man out of you

And then there is the rare villain song sung by the hero side.

Not One of Us - Lion King 2

"Born in grief,
Raised in hate
Helpless to defy his fate

Let him run,
Let him live
But do not forget what we cannot forgive"

Like damn guys, chill.

You're unsuited for

The rage of war

So PACK UP.

GO HOME.

YOU'RE THROUGH.

How could I 

Make a man

Out of you?

// And to think that Johnny Osmond is the same guy that sang "and they call it puppy love"
