So is this just... the best moment in any straight-to-DVD Disney sequel? I mean that's not a super high bar, but it might be a fair statement (though there's definitely some good stuff in Kronk's New Groove imo). Now Jafar got a brief villain song in the original Aladdin with the Prince Ali (reprise) and I never thought it got enough love, regardless of how short it was. Here he finally gets his own real solo, and while Jonathan Freeman's singing voice isn't the BEST, I still can't help but bop along to this song, especially when he gets his moments to flex his vocab wordplay (this has to be the only Disney song to ever feature the words "pontificate" and "discombobulate"). You get a good enough grasp of who Jafar is from this as well (as if any of you didn't know already). He's cocky, he's clever, and he seems to have the means to back it up. Does that make him evil? Meh. He comes across more as rude here than anything.
