People say the music in TLK2 wasn't as good as the original, which I agree to a certain degree. The new music is still really good and I think they did a good job capturing the feel of the original when they made the music.
I like Upendi too because like you said earlier, Kovu is uber cute in it (although I'm sticking to my theory that some peoples were on drugs during the production of that scene), although I also really like Not One of Us and Love Will Find a Way (and I've spent countless hours writing different versions of that song because it's good but could be better).
Yeah, the second movie had a lot to live up to music wise and it wasn't quite as good but I still loved it.
