Hellfire - Female Cover by Elsie Lovelock - The Hunchback of Notre Dame

I can picture it now Guard 1) "hey, is he okay in there?" Guard 2) "yeah, he does this every time he meets a girl"

"Get out you idiot!" Is what every Disney villain would say to someone who walks in on them singing to themselves...

WOW. I love the part when "destroy Esmeralda and let her taste the fires of hell" is sung with murderous undertones and then transitions to "or else let her be mine and mine alone" with something almost like tenderness but not quite

WHY ARE ALL OF THESE GENDERBENT HELLFIRE SONGS SO GOOD I SWEAR THIS IS THE REASON IM SO GAY SANJSHVFBD

"It's not my fault, if in God's plan, he made the devil so much stronger than the man" That line always caused me to just sit there and say "wow". Frollo is in such denial of his own lust and sin, that he goes so far as to blame God himself for it before he's willing to blame himself. Just...wow.

I am actually glad you didn't change the lyrics. During that time a woman loving a woman sexually would have been even more scandalous than a holy man in love with a gypsy. So assuming that in this song you portray a holy woman who's infatuated with a gypsy, it only amplifies how forbidden this is. It just makes the song sound so much more twisted and conflicted. Also, I think it's cool how we've come such a long way to where we can love who we want to love.

Having a female voice really changes the song. Not only would Female Frollo be committing sin for her lust, but for homosexuality too.

No man has captured the emotion the original singer/VA had in the song. This is the best cover I've heard that gives me the same spine tingles as the original.

The lesbian context actually really fits this song imo.

I love how the guard says "Mistress Frollo" instead of "Minister Frollo"!

Okay, but picture it: Frollo actually being a woman, disguised as a man, in order to work the job she has. Thinking herself so holy for ignoring sex altogether and living in an age in which women were considered inherently sinful. Then she meets Esmeralda, and not only can she not ignore the lust, she's shocked that she feels the way she does for a WOMAN. Now that would be quite a story.

Last year I sang this for a concert chorus audition. I had no training, no sheet music, and no goddamn idea what I was doing. I humiliated myself. And I'm a confident person- I don't embarass easily. This used to be my favorite Disney song, but after that it hurt to listen to it. Ruined my favorite song. I listened to this cover a lot before that. I somehow stumbled upon it again through searching up a different cover. Listening to it again has inspired me to get some sheet music for this song and make a real cover of it. It doesn't hurt to listen anymore. Thank you.

Let's all drop religious and sexual orientation comments and focus on the fact that Elsie got her boyfriend to call him an idiot.

This song sung by a woman fits too because of the huge belief that homosexuality is sinful so I love it

I absolutely live for the "fault" at 1:39, sweet jesus

This is my favorite cover of a Disney song that has ever been done. You're far too talented to have only a million views on this. This video should have hundreds of millions. It's a work of passionate, beautiful, art.

What's great about this being sung as a woman is that it actually gives Frollo a tinge of tragedy. When you consider the context of Frollo's heavy religious position, and damnation, mutilation and execution of same-sex couples in Frances past, the internal struggle becomes much deeper, volatile, and eternally tearing than the original.

I love when singers are willing to sacrifice a little bit of song technicality for emotion, honestly it makes songs so much better and your voice was absolutely perfect.

i spent like half an hour searching for a good female cover, and while i can't say the other were bad, or they lacked in technical delivery, they often missed the undertones. Frollo sings from a place of privelege and hatred, and that is one of the reasons the original is so good. Elsie did an amazing job keeping the absolute sinister layer to it

THIS IS IT! The song that made me gay
