Hi guys, I would like to write my favourite songs from West Side Story, ready?

1. America

I love how the movie interpreted this song, where Anita and the girls sing about why they love the US and the boys interjected their opinions about the US before it ended in a dance.

2. Tonight

It's been covered by many artist and Il Divo is one of them, I prefer both movie and Il Divo's rendition, the latter version has more upbeat.

3. I Feel Pretty

This song is really interesting, because it is like Maria's friends voice out their opinions about her. Interesting fact, Santino Fontana used this song for his audition in Disney's Frozen with some minor changes in the lyrics though!

4. Somewhere

Another song that was covered by Il Divo and Jackie Evancho with Babra Streisand, I prefer the latter as well as the movie version for some reason.

I Want to be in America!

So, only 4 songs make it through the cut, which are your favourites?
The rumble!
The rumble!

It's been coming to 6 years since I watched the movie with the late Natalie Wood and Rita Moreno, I grew a liking on the songs and the movie.


The Songs

As many West Side Story fans like myself, I knew many of the songs. But the most beautiful song among them that I love is 'Tonight', followed by 'Somewhere'. The former would definitely be an amazing wedding song while the latter is telling us to follow your dreams, even though you are down and upset.
Another song that I like is America, because Anita manage to stand up to her belief on her opinion on America, I also like how the boys countered...
