Songs of LBT 2, LBT 3 and LBT 4

Well, I noticed that Heather Hogan, voice actress of Ducky from LBT 2 to LBT 4, hardly ever sings.

The first three sequels had 4 songs sung by the Gang and 5 songs sung by villains or grown-ups. From those four songs, namely 'Peaceful Valley', 'You're one of us now', 'Kids like us' and 'It takes all sorts' feat. Ali, Ducky only sings in the songs of LBT 2 and only in 'You're one of us now' she has a short solo part. In the other two songs she only talks in the songs...

Is it possible that they made so much songs without the Gang singing because Heather couldn't sing very well?
Or is it even because of the director of LBT 2 to LBT 4( can't remember the name

)? After all Charles Grosvenor didn't made much songs w/o the Gang(and many voice actors changed when Grosvenor took the job to direct the movies)...

What are your thoughts???

I guess she sang it almost great.

I'm not to sure why they did that. Maybe that might be the case who knows. If it is than they should have hired someone else to do her singing roles instead of her singing.

*sigh* Personally, I've never liked Heather Hogan as Ducky. In the first movie, Judith Barsi was...well, pretty much an angel when she played Ducky. I believe it was her all-time favorite role to play. It's sad that she never got to see it herself because she and her parents were dead before the movie was even released.

With LBT 2, 3, and 4, I believe Hogan was simply a poor choice for Ducky. Her bland voice which just seemed to drag on...it seemed to make Ducky lose much of her cuteness meter. At least Aria Curzon gained her cuteness meter back...possibly overloading it?

As to why Hogan barely sang in those movies? Honestly, as Bill Cosby would probably say: "I don't know!"

And that's my two cents on this.

I don't think she sang bad after all

If I remember correctly, Thomas Dekker sang Littlefoot in LBT 5 while another voice actor spoke him. He got the whole role for LBT 6 I think...

I personally like all of Ducky's voice actresses to be honest though Heather Hogan is my least favourite of them.

She was sooo cute

angel is too weak, she was a god

Very likely

I didn't know she was killed before the movie was released... It's so sad she was killed. May she Rest In Peace

I'd have to rewatch the movies she voiced Ducky to agree on that... but I believe you're right(gotta watch These movies now

:)
Well, Aria's voice perfectly fits Ducky's character imo. I agree that Aria gained more cuteness than Heather

Like so many questions only the makers of LBT can give us concrete answers I believe. It's frustrating but we outta handle it or not. It's up to us whether we accept that or not

Well, I mean, the singing is usually evened out in movies, especially depends which character it's centered.

I think Ducky sang in Peaceful Valley, Peaceful Valley (reprise), Kids Like Us, and It Takes All Sorts. Though I think they were all in a chorus. Not sure about the reprise

Just to clarify, on both versions of "Peaceful Valley", she gets a couple of...I guess "echoing" solo lines. She and the rest of the gang only sang the very last line of "Kids Like Us" (which was the title line), and the rest of the song was Littlefoot singing it. Ducky did sing in the chorus of "It Takes All Sorts" as well.
