- Hi guys! Sorry for the super long hiatus, been up to my EYES in work lately but here's finally a new cover!
I really hope you enjoy it, I know I've made quite a few of my own alterations to this one, plus I couldn't do the entire song due to time constraints (and that when I tried to do the speaking parts it sounded SO LAME OHOHOHO), but I really hope you like it!!

I always love Elise's' covers b/c she adds the character to them. Most other covers focus on their voice and making it sound pretty, but Elsie adds that evil and witch sass that makes Ursula who she is
Thank you !!
PlumbleBee iyk
She thinks more about the character then.
I could not agree more
Thats true, she makes you believe its the actuall character, not one who does a pretty cover, not a fan of clean cover, I want every rough growl, every voice crack, I want them to do the cover correct
Why. Hasn't. Disney. Hired. You. Yet?!
Your covers (especially your villain ones) are amazing!
TheShyGhost honestly probably cause she is an alto(I think) like I am they tend to have princesses with high soprano voices
I agree, or the first princess with an alto voice
Because Disney is cheap
What you meant was
👏WHY👏HASN’T👏DISNEY👏FRICKING👏HIRED👏YOU👏YET👏!?!?
Because Disney has no interest in good villains anymore
You have a knack for villain songs. Nailed my personal favourite, especially the "Yes I do..." and "Make your choice!"
DID I HEAR A "SPELLS, ELSIE, PLEASE" ???? THAT WAS CLEVER AND GOOD
I thought it was "SPELLS URSULA PLEASE!!!"
Jenniflower65 2.0 yeah but the person singing is named Elsie
But it's not what they heard is what it's saying.
@@iAmMadeOfSoup
No matter how many times I listen to it even trying to force it in my head but I still hear: "SPELLS URSULA PLEASE"
Elsie, you give me goosebumps, you make a great villan!!
If Elsie was Ursula, I would be glad to give her my voice, to her her singing about how she will steal my voice.
Hahaha yes me too,even when I love singing too,I would do it
Your acting is great! (And so is your voice) Keep it up!
Your Ursula voice is damn amazing, and sounds a lot like her too! I love how you give these villain covers a touch of more darkness, and how in character they are!
All dislikes are poor unfortunate souls that Ursula riped off, I only see this explanation :c
😂🤣😂 good explanation!
She didn't rip them off. They shouldn't have reneged on their end of the deal
Nice.
They have no arms
I used to have a crush on Ursula as a kid, though I never admitted it to anyone xP
Oh...
This planet is so huge, broad'n'wide...
how?
Lol
Diction and voice performance is on point, mad respect
Have you ever considered covering something from "The Secret of Kells" or "Song of the Sea?" They're from an up-and-coming Irish animation studio that seems like it would be up your alley considering your covers of Disney and Ghibli films.
They don't really have Villain Songs, though.
Captain Faust the movies were fantastic
Yes, they truly were.
The amount of sass rivals that of Ursula herself.... I love it❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes. YES. YES! I have been begging for this for the longest time! And it's AMAZING! Elsie you musical goddess you!
*kicks your door down* MYSTIC MESSENGER COVER NEXT?
Real talk though this is amazing :3 your evil laugh was perfect!
Fantastic! You're awesome, Elsie!
Hal Dickens songwriter ufñ
This is a total long-shot since no one ever knows what the hell I'm talking about, but I think your voice would be absolutely lovely for Angel's Song from the 80s movie Rock and Rule :3
Why, Rock and Rule is an awesome movie, it's criminally underrated, Elsie should definitely make a cover of it! (◠‿◠)
MCRgrrl4ever l love that film!! I'd love to do a cover of Send Love Through but no instrumental :((( and thank you!!
You never cease to impress.
***** you remember me??? From where?
Yes! That would be amazing!
How are you able to sing every song perfectly? Like your voice suits ALL the songs you choose, you do the acting perfectly as well! It's fantastic!
Does anyone feel as if she should do a duet with Jonathan Young or is it just me
John Young one is kinda loud
It's such a coincidence you posted a vid! Just the other day, I said to myself: "I wish Elsie would post another vid.." NOT joking, lol! Love your video!
you must have given up your voice aswell
@@arcanegamer2723 🙀 O nooo
god your so good at voicing villans! disney please hire her!
I love your voice. You can morph into any voice character with a beautiful sultry tone. This is one of the best covers I've ever heard.
I drop what I'm doing every time I see you've posted something new and it's always well worth the wait! Amazing job! How are you not famous yet?
I've been waiting for you to do this song for sooo long!!! Absolutely amazing!!
Oh yes!!! Amazing! Heard many good covers on this but you really nail it when it comes to bringing in Ursulas character into the song, including the laughter at the end!!! Well done!
I cannot stop repeating it every once in a while !!!! So perfect 👌🏻
Lyrics:
The only way to get what you want, is to become a human yourself
Can you do that?
My dear, sweet child, that's what I do
It's what I live for
To help unfortunate merfolk like yourself
Poor souls with no one else to turn to
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
True? Yes
And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And dear lady, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed, pathetic
Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
And I help them
Yes, I do
Now it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
Yes I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls
Have we got a deal?
If I become human, I'll never be with my father or sisters again
But, you'll have your man
Life's full of tough choices, isn't it?
Oh, and there is one more thing
We haven't discussed the subject of payment
But I don't have
I'm not asking much, just a token really, a trifle
What I want from you is your voice
But without my voice, how can I
You'll have your looks, your pretty face
And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha
The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore
Yet on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word
And after all dear, what is idle prattle for?
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who gets a man
Come on you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead
Make your choice
I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your voice
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad but true
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
You've got the pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll
Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul
Beluga sevruga
Come winds of the Caspian Sea
Larengix glaucitis
Et max laryngitis
La voce to me
Now, sing
Aa-aa-aah, a-aa-aah (keep singing)
Aa-aa-aah, a-aa-aah

Anthor fantastic performance Elsie! Your emotion is always on point! I'd be interested to see what you'd do with a Rocky Horror Picture Show song like Sweet Transvestite or Science Fiction Double Feature.
Excellent cover. Your voice suits the song very well.
