SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:24 Min.
For the 2018 sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, actress Lily James (as a young ‘Donna Sheridan) covers this classic ABBA hit.
REVIEW:
As a dual acting-singing talent, Lily James confirms the promise she displayed in 2015’s live-action Cinderella film. Supplemented by top-notch instrumentals, her serene vocals for “I Have a Dream” have a lullaby-like aura. When compared to Amanda Seyfried’s rendition in 2008’s Mamma Mia!, it’s such a close call. Both actresses nail this optimistic tune with low-key charm to spare – between them, James sounds the more polished. Yet, a slight edge goes to Seyfried’s more effervescent take, as it’s closer to a Broadway number engaging listeners.
If one likes this song, either version or really both prove worth downloading.
