"You better sing that song the witch sings from the mermaid movie, okay!" Oh God I'm dying!
Tigatron08 I’m screaming
I'm nine years late to the party, but I almost spat diet coke on my monitors when he did that!
The pianist is hilarious!
This Ariel needs an award XD
the range in his voice is just unbelievable
No? It’s not that …out standing
No but being able to perfectly replicate the way Disney tells a story while singing songs is really impressive tho
I want to hear this guy sing jacks lament from nightmare before Christmas
i sang this rendition of Poor Unfortunate souls for a musical audition
and i made the director laugh, and she said "We'll let you know"
after a weeks of waiting i got the part
Thank you Brian Charles Rooney
Yay!
i had a friend listen by ear for 2 weeks,
and she got it down.
slayyyyy! :)
He is the best Ursula I've ever seen when is there going to be a drag Ursula this needs to happen
Julia _ Look up Titus’s version he’s the best I’ve heard
Ginger minj
the drag ursula is the original ursula
TRUe
Alex Newell's is amazing
Someone get this man into a little mermaid production of Ursula please!
That would be amazing!!!! :)
and that pianist to be ariel
Nah
He's so perfect as Ursula...and a what a dapper dresser.
This is amazing.
True also love ur channel
I just finished a video of yours then I come hear and see your comment. Coincidence, I think not.
Nice performance! Casting a male as Ursula actually works really well. There was recently a production of The Little Mermaid with John Treacy Egan (who was Chef Louis in the original Little Mermaid Broadway cast) as Ursula, and he was incredible. I feel the reason it works so well is because the original animated character was based on the drag queen Divine, and Pat Carroll still brought some of that in her performance. This was something that was lacking in Sherie Rene Scott's performance as Ursula.
The key is perfect for tenor to do it
Drag Queens favorite number to perform including myself lol
His enunciation is impeccable! 💜💜💜
This was freaking gorgeous. God, It's the best thing I've heard in months. Oh, I'd kill to see him sing live.
SlMP
Handsome man and what a voice. It’a a gift to be able to tell a story through song - and he does it impeccably.
This guy is the EPITOME of entertainment! And pianist is hilarious!
I live for the way he says pathetic

Everytime he says ''poor unfortunate souls '' i get goosebumps , and idk why ?
"She'll have her looks, her pretty and don't forget the importance of BODY LANGUAGE" my fav part.
YES!!
I must say his “go ahead and sign the scroll” is biting and I love it
Why is this song so infinately better every time a man sings it?
Cause the original character is based off a drag queen
This brings me so much pleasure. Not only is the fellow unbelievably handsome and has a great voice, the performance even has this comical relief to it that it ought to have. Bravo!
He should definitely be a voice actor.... he is awesome!!!
you should not be suppressing that smile in the end, you fucking killed it.
WOW WOW AND WOW! 👏 👏 👏
Yes, please
Best version for me.
I can't stop watching. This guy is marvelous!
Demn you own this song!
i cant stop watching this
What the hell ??? What a voice ?!??! 😭😭😭
i want him as ursula on broadway!!
I enjoyed this hahaha🫶🫶🫶🫰🫰🫰
I've only just discovered this song (never saw the cartoon, can't wait for the Live action thing to come out!), and I've been binge watching different versions of this, and this one is nearly perfect. Totally should have casted this guy in the live action version.
This is my favourite version after all these years. Well done.
I love seeing different interpretations of this song. This is incredible!
There. A man can sing this song.
him and titus are my fave covers so far. im like 6 in. about 50 left
to listen to lol
LoverofSelfLove please follow him on Instagram @briancharlesrooney
Agreed!
He and Titus Burgees have the best renditions of this song
Wow wow wow... This is much more than singing the song. This is interpreting the song.
An another level
This was adorable! AND Ursula is my all time favorite Disney character! This was a real treat!
This dude KILLS this song.
Wow...that was pretty damn good.
I saw him sing last night at "Bedbugs!!!" He's INCREDIBLE live. If you can make it to the show, go! It's a short run...
46 seconds is crazy
THE BEST I have seen outside of the first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So perfect. I love the way how Brian moves. This sexy dude belongs on stage!!!
This is my fav thing EVER. ♥
The best ursula. Period.
biggest like EVER. For brian and also for the pianist, of course.
AWESOME! 👏👏👏👏
If The Birdcage were ever remade (not that it should be) this guy would be amazing in Nathan Lane’s role
Dude... I just listened to a few others and this guy beats all of the women out! Surrendering fully to the character is important. ESPECIALLY, when singing a villain's song.
Really Quite Fantastic!
He's pretty good at raising the pitch in his voice ó.0
Wow!!!
Love
