Yeah, I definitely noticed, and it definitely harmed the scene for me.

It was less jarring on subsequent views, but the first time out it was too much of a TADA! moment. And that means gimmicky. And it was entirely to grandiose an entrance, considering the company. It was truly OTT. Let her flow and bewitch with divine seeming in her representation to Frodo and even Aragorn. . . but to a Maia, even one in manlike form, and an Elf, of Nolorian, Edain AND Maiar ancestry. . . a little much. A more subtle entrance could have been equally enchanting. nothing wrong with that of course, each to their own and all. I agree about there needing to be things for kids - like you say it is a kids book at the end of the day - though of course one adults enjoy to. I noticed the music the first time i watched the film! I am glad someone else did :) It was very strange - i think it might be from rushing to get the film finished certain things werent polished quite to the level expected of PJ? Ultimately it is a minor point but did make me laugh and therefore took away from the moment. "Hear me, hounds of Sauron, Gandalf is here! Fly if you value your foul skins, I will shrivel you from tail to snout if you step within this circle!" "Do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends."

Probably because IMO the R&B version was truer to the book than Peter Jackson's Hobbit.
