"I breathe in all I can, even the echoes / Until that voice withers away"

This is absolutely not my thing, and it's also pretty much the musical polar opposite from the MLP and Littlest Pet Shop songs dropping like 5 spots ago. I like the chorus vocals! But only enough to boost this a single point from the screaming throughout the rest of the song. I don't care for this type of music in English and hearing it in Japanese doesn't change anything.

As far as villainy goes, this is the same score I gave the OTHER Ursula song last contest, although that one ranked considerably higher. Ursula is a tragic figure. There's obviously manipulation going on, and she's clearly not guiltless in that, but the song focuses on being lonely, wanting to be loved and wanting to be acknowledged. While that doesn't do much to tip the villain scale, it does help to characterize her, at least just enough that looking at the lyrics I could say to myself "oh, that's Ursula" without it ever mentioning her name.
