One of the things I've rather loved that Fox has done is have pop stars from different countries sing the credits song for their particular country. I think it's pretty cool anyways.
So I thought I'd start this topic to see what you all thought and which song is your favorite out of all the ones that have shown up.
Links in case you missed one....
Instantly by Sergey Lazarev (Russia)
There's a Place for Us by EMD (Sweden)
There's a Place for Us by Xander de Buisonje (Netherlands)
Stand Up by Stan Walker (Australia)
There's a Place for Us by Sonohra (Italy)
There's a Place for Us by Victoria S. (Germany)
Rehnuma by Sreeram Chandra (India)
Someone Wake Me Up by Joe McElderry (UK)
There's a Place for Us by Carrie Underwood (USA)
I've actually been avoiding listening to most of what has released. I did "fall" and listen to Carrie Underwood. I like it, but not as much as previous songs of the movie. This might change once I see the movie though.
I do love Scott Krippayne's Voyage though. But that's unofficial and so you didn't list it.
Can't beat Carrie!
I don't think any of the songs suite the movie, either in terms of having quality lyrics or being musically suitable to the credits of such a movie but here is my order of preference:
Rehnuma - Sreeram Chandra
Stand Up - Stan Walker
There's a Place for Us - Victoria S.

Oh, Carrie's by far. I about had a heart attack when it was announced she was doing the song! I think my roommate is tired of me listening to it.

It was a tough choice between Sonohra and Sreeram Chandra's contributions, but I'm going with Mr. Chandra's. It's unique from the others, and I think the lyrics we were given apply to Narnia very much. I know it was a little odd, but I enjoyed it.
Sonohra did a great job with a mediocre song.

I changed my vote from Sonohra to Xander, but it's a tough call. Sonohra's version is a little less 'sweet', but Xander really seems to 'feel' the song. Like he's happy that "there's a place for us".

I really, really love the song Instantly, by Sergey Lazarev. Being Russian, I've been a fan of Sergey for a while and so I find this song quite lovely! The lyrics of the song are wonderful and powerful. I find that I can relate to so much of them and the message they convey. I also love everything about the video: how they played many clips from the film within the entirety of the song and I found that the way it was shot was particularly effective. I love how Sergey is standing in water and in the end, how he is surrounded by the floating flowers just as they flash the scene of arriving at Aslan's country. I've seen the other videos and they're nice as well, but this one is definitely my favorite!

Probably a stupid question, but one never knows if a singer has more than one song with the same name. I tried the link on top for this song, but that specific link's video has been removed from youtube. I found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJXGAe4q-e0
Is it the correct song? There's no footage or anything, just a poster, making it harder to tell if it's it or not.
Carie Underwood "There's A Place For Us" is the best! I like that one much better than the rest!

Yes, that's the correct song, narnian1. Here's a link to the official video with the Narnia clips included... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3obXNUBL50 It's truly a beautiful song!

Quinlin, Thanks so much for that link. Beautiful video! Great song, I loved it- but I am finding it hard to tie to Narnia specifically, maybe I am missing some lyrics. I still want this song. Gotta see if it's available in the US. If it's not then I am out of luck.
