What song should we curse next? ;)

I stand by my point: each and every single one of the Madrigals could've easily become a 'villain', had matter of circumstance pushed them in a slightly different direction

Luisa sounds like she’s about to break and not in the anxiety way but the about to kill someone way. It’s mostly noticeable in Jonathans lines(some of them sound like she’s seconds away from murder even) but Anna and Caleb kinda show it too tbh. (Anna’s little laugh during one of hers gives off major about to snap vibes)

Jonathan: I’m gonna make a cursed version of an encanto song Anna and Caleb: *say no more.*

Sounds like a villain singing about the pressure they're under due to expectations to be powerful and evil

this is so freaking funny oh my GOD

I don't know why Jonathan has started doing this type of cover, but honestly? I don't really care. They slap HARD!

This might simply be the most powerful trio for covers

This trio are like gods among the KZfaq singing community.

I like that Anna and Caleb both just look intimidating, but Jonathan looks like he’s gonna eat me alive.

Original song & Ana's cover: A strong woman who has a hard time bearing the burdens of her family. Caleb's cover: Same thing but the it's a strong guy. J. Young's cover: A sociopathic slave driver who feeds on the suffering of others and keeps giving them harder and harder tasks just to see them crack under the pressure. Ana and Caleb are the guys being exploited and they sing about letting go of the pressure.

"oh? you're approaching me?" "Can't talk about generational trauma without getting closer" "Oh, then let me tell you about what's under the surface"

Jonathan sounds like he's being used as a killing machine for so long that he's desperate and fuels his dispair into pure rage to rampage even more. Caleb sounds like someone who has been enslaved, and he's so done with it that he started slaughtering his masters and obliterating anyone who got close to him. Anna in the other side sounds like someone who's stressed as hell with all the shit she has to deal with, but keeps following orders like a soldier and just casually kills her enemies brutally for fun as a way to relax in the meantime and release her internal anger. Edit: I sure hope this comment doesn't get deleted because of all those violent words.

The three of them look like new Pillar (Wo)Men from Jojo! I love this song so seeing a "cursed" spin is awesome too! Really encompasses some of the stress I've been feeling the past few days.

Never thought I would see Jonathan in a blouse but here we are. All jokes aside, this is great.

I don't view this song as "Cursed". I think it's a little closer to that feeling of despair and anxiety deep within anyone feeling overburdened or overwhelmed with whatever it is they are facing. It's a peek into the inner world of anyone experiencing it. The original was fantastic, it was fun, and while it does address the character's struggle it also glorifies her march onward and how tough she is. Which misses the point a bit.

Man, Anna's breakdown in the middle is powerful, and then she gets to the evil laugh, and I think you've just turned Luisa's emotional lament into a villain song

I definitely wasn't expecting to hear Annapantsu's voice, but it worked so well! Especially those harmonies!!

This man is straight up gonna turn every Madrigal into a supervillain. Hopefully he does What Else Can I Do next.

Jonathan Young asking the tough questions: what if, instead of being blessed one by one, the Madrigals were burdened with magical curses?

This is like a heavy metal version of Chase Holfeldor's "Major to Minor" covers

You three are awesome. Were I able to post a gif through this interface, you’d get the “shut up and take my money” one. Seriously, “Cursed Kingdom” album. DO IT!

Anna: Isabela 🌸 (obsessed with perfection suffering Golden Child syndrome) Jonathan: Luisa 💪(tries to be stronger enough so suffers from generalized anxiety disorder) Caleb: Mirabel 🏠(tries to solving same situation but backfires suffering from Depression)

This is so haunting, I like how it's set out with Jon being the rage or anger with Caleb showing the anxiety, and Anna showing the wanting for happiness, all-round good family values, really gives an interesting insight into a different angle that Disney could have gone.

To me... This sounds like a twisted version of what the song stands for. Like instead of the older sister bearing the weight of the pressure put on her, it's a dark voice telling the younger sibling to blow off all their familiar responsibility and let the older sister pick up all the lack. That way they can live without ever carrying share of the weight. I can see this as some kind of internal struggle where the younger sibling is being mocked by and dark version of themselves.

This is the song dnd players hear in their head when their character has a break down, love the video!

Really digging Jonathan's series on Encanto characters if they were the villains

Has a real villain backstory vibe. In the sense of "they're not evil just justifiably angry" type of plot twist.

The only one who truly encompasses the cursed version is Johnathan. But Anna and Caleb did great jobs too!

Jonathan - Anger Caleb - Fear Anna- Sadness/ relief

Jonathan; manic villain talking about all the pressures he has (that turned him insane?) Caleb; main character talking about all the pressure he has being the only one able to save people, and the worry he has having to protect his little brother/sister Anna; optimistic older sister talking about setting things back to how they used to be before the pressure, but as it keeps growing, keeps going, she reaches her breaking point

So turned into a villain song, awesome. I could see a king/ruler sing this in a manner similar to “heaviest is the head that wears the crown.”

Buff Jonathan can't hurt you, he's not real. Buff Jonathan:

I look the image... Jonathan: HELP MEEE, THIS ROCK IS SO HEAVY Anna and Caleb: *jojo pose*

So scary! the anger, the fear, and the dying hope trying to pull together the last bit of sanity, each of you guys brought these feelings to life! outstanding performances and super original as always. The Encanto cover I didn't know I wanted!

I wasn't sure I liked it at first but then I realized I was listening to it on my crappy monologue phone speakers and I should probably put on my nice headphones. Now I love it.

Something I feel might be overlooked but I want to give credit to - the use of CURSE to represent the opposite style of the song and also the opposite of MIRACLE which is their gifts name in the movie. Beautifully done!

*in an alternate timeline, Luisa reaches her breaking point. The anxiety. The guilt. The feeling of worthlessness. Not even the destruction of Casita was enough to take away her powers. They had become a manifestation of every negative feeling inside her. Until there was nothing left....but rage... Mirabel and Abuela are hiding behind the ruins of the destroyed church* "What happened to your sister.....to Luisa...it's my fault....I was always pushing her..demanding things of her. I never showed her any kind of true appreciation. Not just of her gift but of HER..my granddaughter... By the time I realized what I had done...it was too late.....Luisa...finally broke. And now there's nothing we can do..all she hears is all the voices in her mind that tell her she isn't strong enough... You were right, Mirabel.. This is because of me.."

Imagine seeing lama's dancing in the background, subtly getting less goofy, taking on a serious tone, and getting ready for war as there deities continuing their number.

This version of the song makes it seem like Luisa has three personalities who's burn out and driven crazy from overwork. Jonathan is the fierce determined worker side of Luisa that loses her temper, Caleb is the side of Luisa who's afraid of the monster she could become if she gets pushed any further, and Anna is the personality created from the employer who kept telling Luisa to work

As a mother I felt this song and loved it. Now I love it even more.

I feel like the whole crew is having WAY too much fun with all of this

Suddenly, Luisa becomes the _other_ designated "problem child" in the family. She's breaking under the weight of every burden that's casually thrown her way, but unlike the movie, she's had it drilled into her head that her family's love is conditional. Weakness = goodbye. She might be resentful of her siblings who don't have to be as strong as she is, especially the "better" sister Isabella. Either way this cover sounds great!

I love these curse songs and how they give it an evil twist without changing anything about the lyrics. Makes me wonder if a 'bless' version of villain songs could sound as good. Regardless, these curse songs are wonderful and whatever ones you three do next, or you and anyone you bring in to join you in recording them, are going to be a real treat for the ears. Thanks for doing these and sharing them with us.

When so many other people went swoony for "We Never Talk About Bruno," this is the song from Encanto that grabbed me mind, heart, and soul. The pun on service in Surface Pressure. The frustration of being treated that way whether you're valued or not. And so, you find the dark underbelly of "I swear I will stone this place from the highest mountain if I'm pushed too far" within it and open it up to all of us. Bravo. Thank you for loving "Surface Pressure."

Y'all. Y'ALL. I HAVE SO MANY CHILLS RN. Y'ALL KILLED IT! It's cursed yeah but it is SO GOOD! The harmonies, the growling, all of it aaaaaaaaa I love this so much omg

So I guess we're just running with the theme that these were just all tragic villain songs, but made upbeat in the final product? Okay, I'm not going to complain.

the vocals are a blessing but that glare will be giving me nightmares at night

Yooooo, this makes Luisa sound resentful rather than inadequate/anxious over how much she shoulders! Didn’t expect to feel some feels for this cursed cover 😭👏

This was unsettling and creepy...in all the right ways. It felt like what a villain's henchmen would sing😂

this honestly sounds like a corrupt god of strength who serves another

Lusia having her villain origin story after a few too many visits from the chancla

I feel four siblings, and these three are casted to the shadows because of the oldest sister and now they have come to claim their place...

I love how it sounds like a villain song now! How he can see the hero keeps messing up his plans and he’s failing expectations. …..So this is day one of asking Jonathan young to do the 2003 strawberry shortcake theme song.

I like this Two thirds of the artwork crack me up and the way this was done makes the original song kinda badass,awesome job

This. Is. AWESOME!!! It sounds like a villainous trio of siblings where the big sister was expected to the great evil things but the other two brothers were ignored, making them develop a hidden sense of jealousy and nervousness.

What sounds like is about to break is a demon out of their bonds. This was amazing and like what has been said before, you three are God's of music on KZfaq.

That little breath at the end is a nice touch.

1:03 okay this verse is impeccable- you sound like your voice is actually strained during the "stop". Its like you're struggling to lift something up. This fits the theme perfectly!

Woah ! Now THIS is cursed & creepy ! I am seriously feeling threatened & scared by this ! I love where this is going (& am curious what What Else Can I Do would sound like) The first seconds totally give me horror vibes, they feel like straight from a horror game, like I'm in a horror cirque. And when Jonas starts singing with his deep voice. "Welcome to hell !" It's like the devil is talking himself & looking straight into my soul ! That art. Those glowing eyes, that evil grin, that deep, threatening voice that's growing into despair & insanity & the fire. It really feels like he's coming right after me, to drag me into hell That anxiety, the fear & despair, how you try to be the strong one, who can handle any stress & proves how strong you are, nothing is gonna break you. But you're slowly going crazy, fear of going insane & are about to snap & be crushed by all the pressure. Damn ! That voice truly sounds insane ! Like you're about to lose it & yourself ! Like you really are about to go crazy & turn evil & do something terrible you might regret But you still got that little bit of sanity & control inside you. That fear, you must not lose that control & allow it to happen at any price ! That fear & despair that you actually might lose it all, be crushed, broken by all the weight & actually turn into a villain. Because you just cant take it anymore ! Damn that would be such a good villain origin story You could maybe stop this eventually & break free, it's not too late but....there is no escape. The pressure keeps growing & you must keep going, until it's eventually too late And it's scary how much this could totally be a song by & about myself. Holy heck, I am actually scared now to admit this & how much I see myself in this

Whenever I listen to this, it’s always good for imagining OC/Fandom stuff, y’know?

Oh, boy. You guys did it again. You are absolutely extraordinary.

I want to animate this so badly- IT'S SO GOOD!!! Absolutely perfect for a hero turned villain type of story!

The original is Luisa trying *not* to have a mental breakdown, this *is* Luisa having a mental breakdown.

Word up notification crew 🥳🤙🏻

Sounds like the sinister song a Disney character, which was previously a weak and pathetic individual, would sing after he/she got a major level up thanks to some dark deal/magic. I would love to watch more Disney stuff with darker stories.

This song just makes me interested to see what a musical horror movie would be like

Yes!!!! I was waiting for this to come out!!! Amazing collab team

This gives me the vibes of an AU where everything piling up on Luisa ended up making her snap and becoming the true villain and I love it

all 3 of my favorite cover artists in one. i like it. good job btw.

Yall three should start a band or smth😂....seriously though...so good...I think anything music related involving any of you three is just directly a masterpiece❤🔥

This version sounds like anxiety until they snap and rage with utter fury at everyone for giving them work that they could do easily by themselves instead of anxiety leading up to a good cry at the pressure of too much work.

That thumbnail is already cursed enough

It’s Like If Rob Zombie Meets Myth And Roid.

When the latest movie didn’t release a villain song for Jonathan to cover so he’s gotta turn the songs they did release into one.

I'm imagining a Hellraiser parody where solving the puzzle box summons these three to sing cursed songs. "We have such sounds to show you."

Hell yeah! Love the original,and I already love your version!

So what if Luisa completely snapped. Gotcha

you guys are GENIUS!!! great choices in giving Caleb and Anna those moments. make sure much sense! beautiful!

Some severe screams from Jonathan there. Sounds gnarly as fuck man.

Now this is her origin story as a villain-

I can feel the Venom in this take

Everyone mentions all the different versions of disney songs on Facebook/Twitter. But they fail to mention THE GREAT JOHNATHAN YOUNG

I love how Jonathan's covers paint the soundtrack in a completely different light

IM READY

Dude I was binging to a playlist of your songs when I got the notification..... Lmao awesome 🔥

This is what your parents think metal music is like.

I just played this on a speaker for the first time and now my teeth are vibrating🤣

i love the way you've turned the Encanto songs evil and dark so far. Keep up the great work!

Not gonna lie, this gave me so much writing inspiration and I am absolutely in love This is blessed, not cursed

Since these cursed covers have us all agreeing that this would be perfect if Encanto was a horror movie, I have an awesome scenario: Mirabel goes to Luisa to figure out how to break the demonic curse on the Madrigals and the Encanto (See comment on WDTAB But Cursed to understand), only to find that her older sister is slowly going crazy thanks to the amount of pressure she deals with on a daily basis. Luisa is trying to convince herself that she's fine, but it's not working. Throughout the song, Luisa tries to reassure Mirabel, until she gets a brief moment of sanity, calming down, she tells Mirabel to check Bruno's cave.

With that artwork, Jonathan is undeniably a Joestar.

Amazing! Gives chills in the best way

I don't know what it is but you three make me feel like listening to a psycho singing about the pressure they were in before the became evil. AND I LOVE IT LIKE NOTHING ELSE! ❤️❤️✨

Good lord this is a banger

When our inner demons are just as stressed out as we are

This was freaking AMAZING!❤️

Hell yes! I've been waiting for this!!

This version makes me feel the character sing this as they transition into a tragic villian

He should be a villain in a movie - the villain song would be SO GOOD
