this casting is the most useless controversy this year she is literally PERFECT for the role, ethereal, stunning
this !!!!
yesss
SAY IT LOUDER!!!
Yeah racism and bigotry are like that, totally useless
AMEN 🙏🏼
She sings with the despair Ariel must have felt. That's why we cry when she gets to that part, she expresses that intense longing.
You nailed it
I literally have tears in my eyes, tf?? I love this so much and I can't wait for the movie so I can stream this song so hard
What you said
You described it perfectly.
They don’t wanna here that, trust
Her voice is UNREAL, like bringing emotions from just seconds, if you’ve literally watched ANY interview with Halle you realize how gentle, sweet and expressive she is. Perfect for the notions of an animated character. The fact this movie has grown men so upset is sooo fkn weird
💯
I mean… are we even surprised that some grown men are offended? We’re pretty much the most delicate thing on the face of earth. Just like Ariel most of them are in total despair and now they believe taking the rage on everyone and everything else is a good way to experience feelings 🥰
Speaking as a blk kid who is really disappointed by the mass amount of hate she is receiving, I REALLY appreciate this video. She really did put tireless effort into this and you and I both see it. Thank you for this video
She really did put in SO much work. I know you're familiar with the phrase, "We have to work twice as hard to get half as much". I know that to be true, but at the same time Halle getting recognition like this makes me SO happy and proud. She's already killing it :)
Speaking as a grown-a$$ adult who is equally as disappointed, I say we let all those haters miss out. We don't need them there in the theater with us. We can enjoy the beautifully talented and brilliant new Ariel all the more without them. I know Jodi Benson herself is all kinds of proud seeing what Halle did with Ariel.
I think she captured Ariel perfectly during this song. Think about this. Ariel must have felt intensely lonely and longed for something she couldn't have. She captured that feeling in this song.
@@ambriaashley3383 you’re correct. I think majority of black families teach that to their offsprings ✊🏾👸🏾
That shot with her hand grasping for what she wants but can't have is a really powerful shot.
Tristan’s total enthusiasm and pure joy for this poor quality clip is so infectious and by far makes this video. I now can’t wait to go and watch this film.
Same!!!
I wish I could go watch it with HIM!!!!
The tapping on the book when shes trying to remember the word 'burn' just adds that realism to her character. Like, I do that when I'm frustrated trying to remember a word on the tip of my tongue. She's literally bringing Ariel to life ❤
As a die-hard fan of the Little Mermaid, I’m in awe. She manages to make me cry every single time. The beauty of her performance is beyond words 😭
chloe and halle's tiny desk concert gives me so many chills, also their song "cool people" is one of my favourite songs of all time ❤
Sooooooooo good!
Yassss
Halle has the perfect Disney sound in the tiny desk concert
@@fearlssx33 yes I want more Disney songs from her. When she sang Can You Feel The Love Tonight I got chills
Yees! And what have we all said since we first heard Halle sing: She sounds like a disney princess. Yes, yes she does!!!
Ariel is supposed to be the mermaid with the best voice in all of Atlantis. So naturally they chose the person with the best voice. I think the casting was perfect.
I originally didn't love the run added because I was so used to hearing this song done like it was in the cartoon. But after hearing the whole song I have no idea how I didn't realize it was missing so much depth and emotion. She is absolutely incredible I can't wait for this release
yeah I said the same thing to another reactor - that the run at the end makes sense when you hear the entire song. It's actually perfect.
@@melodyv5649 exactly!
Shamefully, I had the same prejudice against the run the first time I heard it, but when I listened again I realized that duh, the song needs life just like the movie got…❤️🩹❤️❤️
I loved the run since the beginning, I just love her take overall, but I applaud you for being open to seeing one of the classics done in a new way!
I agree. I hated the run in the trailer, but it makes a lot more sense after hearing the full song
In their song, chloexhalle, “cool people” she also incorporates these styles. It’s beautiful. Their voices together. I’ve been following them since their first covers on UA-cam and I’m so glad to see them have this recognition today. I love halle and her voice was born for this role.
Yes, that song from their album "The Kids Are Alright" is soooo good!
My favorite song by them! They perform this beautiful when live as well. You are correct in this statement ❤
@@nikoleirene9549 I love their live version of it so much.
@@ambriaashley3383 omggg yes. That song is amazing. They create master pieces
I love her vowel choice on “I want MOOOOORE“. It’s kind of like she’s actually singing MAWRRRRR. She really opens up there and I think that’s such an awesome choice.
Interesting because I didn't like how she changed the o vowels. I wanted the MOOOOOORE AND WOOOORLD 😅
@@alid0228 well its not going to be exactly the same. I think what makes the song really good is that Halle put her own twist on it. she didn't try to completely copy Jodi's version of the song
@@ItzLionxss yeah I am sure it'll grow on me!
@@alid0228 Same. I’m having trouble. I’m 90% down for the other differences from Jodi Benson. My ear HAS been conditioned for .. 30 years?!! So i think i might Spotify the track before watching the movie.
I literally just listened to Tristan’s analysis and got used to it 😅 I’m good now.
I am so thrilled with her casting. You can hear that idealistic innocence in her voice, but also, since Ariel is supposed to be known for having the most beautiful voice among her sisters, you can hear that there's true talent and power behind every note sung. It gives me goosebumps. You can't cast someone who doesn't have an excellent voice for this role since it's such a big part of who the character is.
I loved watching you nerd out over Halle’s technique and artistic choices! My background is in musical theatre and I used to perform on Disney cruise ships. I’ve heard so many incredible singers tackle this song over the years and I agree, Halle’s version is the best I’ve ever heard. She really took into account the acting beats and translated them into her choices in placement and dynamics. I’ve never been so excited for a live action from Disney!
i love the feeling she gives the song. her belts give the feeling that ariel is so desperate to know more and explore the world, whereas the original had a more quiet curiosity
Thissss
Exactly. It's really amazing
I would say the original was more sad and less optimistic, it had a theme of knowing she wasn't allowed to feel this, she knew what she wanted but knew she couldn't get it, making her sad and bottling it up. The new ariel is eager and strong-willed, she know she want too but rather than thinking she can't think she is allowed to have these thoughts she is loud and clear about it, not willing to be quiet.
Both work really well for ariel, it's just two interpretations that makes it mostly two different "moments" in Ariel life, in the original movie it seems much earlier in her process, she is longing for it but can't even consider the idea to really do it as she is afraid. In the new movie it is the moment she says "I WANT TO DO THIS" loud and clear, she is proud and strong, something that takes more time for Ariel to do in the first movie (and I would even say that she almost never get to in the first place).
Agree. I personally like this version better
The trailer alone looks mesmerizing already. I know Halle Bailey can do justice to the character of Ariel in The Little Mermaid. It’s by far one of my favorite Disney movies as a kid. As always, Tristan’s reviews are detailed and logical. I’m certain he will attain more success in the near future.
I read this as Halle Berry for a second and was confuuused 😂
Yes same it was my go to movie as a kid :’)
Halle just blew me away. I knew she was gonna prove everyone how much she deserved that role, but she just... She freaking threw an atomic talent bomb and destroyed us. Such a beautiful, marvelous, incredible queen. Dear God.
Halle Bailey’s voice is ANGELIC. her voice earned her that role HANDS DOWN. god damn shes got PIPEEESS
Exactly she wasn't chosen because she's black she was chosen because of her talent and singing
Right and yet anyone who has a talent vocals could fit the role of Ariel regardless of race or nationality if Halie wasn’t discovered then a Dutch UA-camr by the name of Ivana Raymonda Vanderveen will play the role.
Is ridiculous to someone expected a Dutch mermaid but not use to see a black mermaid, to me I am one of those people that don’t give a damn.
Ignorance is bliss!
She sings better than all those basic white actresses
Exacly
CHILLS EVERYTIME I HEAR HER SING
No literally EVERY time
Me too ..
she does NOT deserve all the hate from conservatives n racists n whatnot for this. it’s so dumb and infuriating. she’s sounds so so good for this role!!
Why are you grouping conservatives and racists together!?
@@lisafranklin1189 I mean, they're basically the same tbh
Racist and conservatives? How ignorant are you?
@@leflairon lol...no they aren't basically the same. It's super sad that so many people have been brainwashed into believing that.
@@lisafranklin1189 I know, I was joking (kinda). It's just that most of the racist/homophobic people that I've seen are conservatives so that's why I said that lol.
When people see this in the cinemas, they are going to lose their sh!t and the doubters will eat their words..
Her vocals are outstanding 👏🤯
When she's reaching out of her cave you can hear the longing in her voice. I got the feeling from the first movie but she drug it out of me. I just started sobbing. She's amazing and deserves every good thing! It's so hard to step into the shoes of someone else who did such a great job and actually be able to improve on it. Kudos Halle!
She’s perfect for this role. Hands down
FINS down😍
Period 👏🏾
She's not. Completely destroyed the movie
@@Luca-hb5xs How?
@@delphoxxxx9656 Instead of having her own story she's now a black Ariel...Ariel is a Danish Mermaid based on a Story from a Danish man. Danish girls aren't black they are white....it's like The Rock being the new Black Panther.
She’s going to win many awards for her performance. Guaranteed. Everytime I hear her sing, I need to find Kleenex. I’m a zombie of a man with barely a soul, and she found a way to tap into whatever emotion I have left.
Her acting as she sings in the 'bootleg' video is just simply astounding. Captivating. Incredible
She’s gonna blow all of the haters away with her voice. I literally cried just listening to that snippet. I can’t wait to watch the movie and cry my ass off the entire time!

Sadly they would still not see her talent
@@gdesiree29 unfortunately that would be the case, but at least we’re able to see it
@@scorpionbeastofficial ya . All they talking about is her looks. Even if they hear her singing they would say that there are white singers who sing like her. I'm hearing those already
Yes I get emotional with this version of the song too! Nostalgia and BIPOC people wanting to be "part of that world" I'm just so insanely proud, I love it.
Exactly what I was thinking! BIPOC deserve to be seen, heard & celebrated! We know the feeling of being left out or "othered."
that’s insane how her voice is literally making all of our eyes sweat
Would it be different if she couldn't sing 🤨
Not me crying at your comment... this song has a whole new meaning with the added layer of realizing that a person of color is singing those words and wanting to be part of that world.
Ok I've been very vocal about this casting but watching your video to hear how beautiful she sounds it gave me chills and brang a tear to my eye I'm a grown ass man but this hit my heart strings she is amazing
happy to hear that!
When Halle was cast i was cautious. Not because she's black because i literally couldn't care less about skin color. Unless it's essential to the story like Mulan and Tiana. But i didn't know if she could act. The singing was clearly there. But acting is very important too. And good lord she absolutely NAILED it! The emotions in her voice, that excitement and that desperate longing is so apparent in her voice. And the look on her face when she reached up with her hand, she literally looked like she was about to cry. She's got the looks, the voice AND the emotions. She's literally perfect for this role.
I mean
Even Rob Marshall say "She set the bar so high , we can't find anyone better than her for this role" . If the test screening told us anything is that we *MIGHT* actually get a decent or even great disney live action remake .
I don’t understand music. Can’t sing to save my life. But hearing her gave me intense goosebumps multiple times and made me teary. It’s like she spoke a language to me that I don’t speak, but made my soul understand. I don’t know if that makes sense to anyone. But WOW just WOW at that brief performance. What a gift to bring someone to tears
i feel the exact same way!!! what a beautiful way to describe it
Beautifully put! The music and emotion spoke to you through her voice
Omg I didn't see that sneak peak version (only the trailer) and OMG I've got goosebumps!! She's amazing and the trailer doesn't do her justice! She's perfect for Ariel and I can't wait to see and hear her versions of all the songs!!
I can’t wait either
@Eman Egnarts you old people look up anything to make things possible
Wow, I hadn't seen the full length of some of these clips until this vidoe. Her voice is just stunning!!!! I can't wait for this movie! My daughter is such a huge fan of the original and is now also a musical theater kid and we're both so excited to see the full film! My 1st reaction to seeing the trailer/teaser was just pure joy and excitement. And now I'm even more stoked having heard more of her vocals!!! 😍❤️
Yes to more Chloe X Halle. Also they write most of their music and Chloe produces. Very talented siblings
Literal CHILLS! I really don't understand why anyone would have any doubts about Halle after watching her as Ariel and hearing her sing. I never saw the leaked footage before, only the teaser trailer. I seriously started crying and it wasn't just nostalgia (I can't tell you how many times I've watched the animated version when I was younger). Halle is friggin' nailing this role in every way, and I cannot wait to see this movie next year. I don't see many movies in a theater anymore, but this one is going to be an exception. 💖
I have to agree. I don’t like musicals in general. I would never go out of my way to see a musical. But just the teaser trailer alone, of Halle singing? There’s no way I can miss that performance. Even though my spirit is almost dead inside, I have a feeling this movie is going to tap into what little soul I have left. It’s definitely going to be a tear jerker.
I don't get why everyone is so pressed over a movie. The girl earned the part. She is beautiful and has an amazing voice. She is perfect!
well you know how a lot of movies nowadays are doing that woke thing. where they are prioritizing diversity first. and also they could just make a movie about a black mermaid. they didn't have to make an originally white cartoon character into a black character. i guess it was good for publicity and all. and i saw a few black people saying that casting a black ariel is just giving black people scraps, they deserve more than this.
@@shahariarhassan2831 I agree with your reasoning, but the woman who was cast for Ariel is actually perfect for one of Disney's most beloved princesses, black, white, purple, or green. Halle has an amazing voice, she is very beautiful and I feel SHE EARNED that role. There is a woman who plays Ariel on UA-cam quite a bit and always perfect.... I'd have chose Halle over her even though I adore Traci.
@@JustAshley9685 yeah i replayed the whole teaser trailer a lot of times. i don't like her songs or her sister's but i liked the teaser part a lot. i guess we'll have to wait for the movie to see if that's bad or not. tbh i don't care for this movie at all, but all those controversies results in a lot of funny memes. I'm looking forward to that 😃.
@@shahariarhassan2831 did you watch this reaction video? producers said halle set the bar in auditions and no one came close. this casting wasnt about "wokeism" - they had already cast chloe moretz (white) who dropped out. this casting was about merit. what you're suggesting is that the person most qualified for the job should have rejected because of her skin color. that is in fact, inherently prejudice. even if disney had race casted this, that wouldn't negate the fact that they knocked it out of the park. so what is there to be upset about?
I'm pissed about them casting Melissa McCarthy as ursula
it doesn't matter how many times I see or hear this clip of Halle singing as the little mermaid she gives me goosebumps everytime!!!! just amazing
I’m nerding out with you. Her voice is phenomenal! She took this song and made it more magical than it was in the original!
You’ve changed my opinion of seeing this movie because like you said the remakes have been notoriously bad. I expected this one to be no different. But her singing gave me chills. She already has the audience hooping and hollering so I’m sold.
Same here! I thought I was done with the Disney remakes but this might be the very first one that genuinely has me excited in a long while
How could you listen to her beautiful voice, listen to her take the original song and go above and beyond with it, see how stunning she is, and be mad? Like how can you be mad at that? She’s incredible
She sings it the way we all always wanted to sing it, the urge, the emotion is much more for what we all always imagined Ariel would feel in that moment. That song in particular touches on wanting to belong and feeling misunderstood or overlooked in your own environment. She does it perfectly, I will be sobbing even more in the cinema. CANNOT WAIT!!! ❤
I'm already cry an ocean watching it online , i will cry a sea in theater in may . Halle , the cast , and the crew of The Little Mermaid is not playing .
When she hits that climatic note you can hear the true yearning in her voice. Just hearing that part and I start tearing up. Just perfection!
Every single change made to this song is perfect. Every. Single. One. And her voice is absolutely unreal, I love it so much.
The writers and director need to come through here. I'll be both heartbroken and livid if the rest of this movie is anything less than amazing, with the performance Halle is delivering.
YOOO!!!! She took this to a whole other level! The perfect reboot the song deserves! I’m so excited for this film! I got chills & tears just from watching these clips! I foresee an Oscar in her future!! 😆🔮👀💕✨💫🧜🏽♀️
Oscar 🤔 possibly yes!!! The last time Halle Berry won and the next Halle Bailey!!! Their names may have an Oscar rhyming in fruition,
Almost cried too. Gave me chills. I'd love for you to check out their music or even a compilation made of Halle singing like Ariel. So many people put that together to show why she was perfect for the role and omg.
Listening to the song with bad quality and with your commentary she still managed to make me want to cry. This is incredible.
It’s such a shame that the actress with the best voice is playing the Disney princess who loses her voice for most of the film! I just wanted to hear her sing everything! She is literally perfect for this role! ❤️
Well in the broadway version she still had songs. But they were supposed to be her inner thoughts. They could do something similar. Lin Manuel Miranda and Alan Menken wrote 4 new songs for the movie. One has to be with Ariel. They would not waste her talent like that.
@@mellemadswoestenburg1296 Yeah i mean
Halle deserve more than just Part Of That World and it's reprise . Rob , Lin , and Alan knew Halle deserve more than just 2 songs .
@@m.syauqiabdurahman2798 Alan Menken and Lin-Manuel Miranda have confirmed that she has a full second song (that we hear her sing in her head on land) and a second Part of Your World reprise. So she'll double the amount of singing Ariel does in the original. They knew they couldn't let a voice like hers go to waste!
😲 Wow. That's the first bit of clip I've seen Halle's acting in this. Those mannerisms are so Ariel. I can see a lot of people eating their proverbial hats when this film comes out. Appreciate showing some more extended clips.😊👍🏾
She ate, period. 🧜🏾♀️✨️
Call it for what it is. Not “controversy” Alot of “racism”. She is beyond beautiful and perfect for this role in numerous aspects.
Between Halle's voice and Lin-Manuel Miranda working on the music, there is no way this soundtrack won't be absolute fire.
How could someone listen to this and not be covered in shiver?
Yes, I literally cried when I watched that teaser. And yes, I’m crying again watching this extended footage. And I’m probably gonna cry throughout the whole movie when it comes out.
Why did you cry?
@@Lilith816 because it is beautiful and nostalgic. Also her voice 👌🏻
AMEN! Imma cry in the line to the theater before I even see it haha 🤣
The new generation of kids deserve artists like her on their screens, so inspirational and I’m not talking about only brown kids
I cried too! She brings such an innocence to this song… just as it was meant to be. I’m a huge fan of Chloe x Halle so I was thrilled by her casting
The little girls reacting to this made me cry. This made me smile
My only expectation from the casting is whoever plays Ariel has to be able to sing. They nailed it. I don't care what color they are if they don't have the pipes they shouldn't be casted Ariel is known for her voice and Hailey has a beautiful voice and deserves this role
Yeah because let's be honest
The two thing i want for an actress who played Ariel in a remake of The Little Mermaid is
1. Able to convey the sense of curiosity , longing , and adventure that Ariel has in vocal , facial expression , or emotion
2 . Able to sing the hell out of the song
And they cast the perfect person to take on the part .
I was born in '87 so I grew up with the OG Little Mermaid and I just wanted to say I'm extremely excited to see this version hoping it keeps all the promises. Halle is absolutely fantastic from what we've seen, her voice is on point and beautiful and the trailer gave me chills. Fingers crossed the rest of the movie is just as good, the little mermaid is iconic and deserves to break the live action remakes curse.
I find that usually the ppl who can put that much power in the higher range, are the ones with classical training! This is giving me chills!
Omg! This is going to be so big! I’ve been following her from her preteen days on UA-cam doing covers. I’ve watched her find her own sound and grow into it and I am SO proud of her.
I teared up watching the trailer and cried watching the whole song. The director said she was the first one to audition and won the role because the way she sung the song
Her voice is so unbelievable good. It's beautiful. I can't wait to see the moive.
tristan right about the giving part, she's really put everything in this movie and to be blessed with such beautiful and wonderful voice to be heard, she's really hit me emotionally, i also cried for undescribable reason, probably bc of the surreal feeling listened to her singing. god bless her, such a talented person ❤
I love the addition of the underwater and cavern sounds blended with her singing… it’s all so musically amazing…
Thank you Tristan, someone saw this same clip and had the nerve to tell me she sounded “nasally” … NASALLY WHERE?? Halle is the perfect Ariel and no one can tell me otherwise.
Yeah, I saw a similar comment of someone saying she "sang through her nose" and was "off key" more often than Jodi... Then someone else said that they didn't really know about vocal technique but she sounded beautiful... Here is what I replied to explain what was actually going on and that Halle didn't sound nasally but was actually using proper technique for MIXING... I don't like MISINFORMATION and trying to find non existent problems in order to justify not liking the casting of Halle:
"Halle actually has great technique as well (not sure what others are on about. Halle is not singing through her nose per say, but actually mixing between chest voice and head voice so her belts don't feel too shouty, but are instead powerful and light at the same time. When you mix, the sound resonates/is placed mostly around the cheeks and nose area. That doesn't mean the singer sings through their nose or sounds nasally, it is just the proper technique to produce a well balance mixed belt... Actually, when you use chest voice, the sound is placed in/comes from the chest area, and when you use head voice it is more around the forehead... Therefore, when you mix and make the two meet, the sound will mostly resonate from the cheeks and nose area 🤷🏾 Halle is doing exactly that, and with a lot of agility. I'm really not sure what someone can objectively criticize about her singing, she is technically really good. If someone prefers another version of the song, that's fine, it is their opinion, but there is no reason to "invent" problems with Halle's technique, vocal agility and capacity to emote when there is none (refering to OP's comment, not yours)"...
Despite how much power Halle is giving, she is still somehow contained and I love that
the longtime fan urge to gatekeep halle knowing she’ll get a lot more recognition from ariel while also wanting her to become even more successful bc she deserves it… 😮💨
edit: that being said pls react to more halle/chloe x halle stuff!!
NO ONE else could’ve done it this good
HER VOICE OMFG, IT'S AMAZING😭😭😭
If I wanted to watch an exact remake of the cartoon Little Mermaid I would just watch the cartoon Little Mermaid. I'm so excited for this movie! She has that childlike wonder to her that I imagined Ariel to have so I'm very pleased. 🥰 I could care less what she looked like (Although she is GORGEOUS!)
Well that’s the point of a live remake 😬 i thought we would get the white redhead little mermaid from the cartoon but we’re not its a shame…. Tho her singing is just amazing and that’s what i care about
@@justme1106 The thing is none of the remakes have been EXACTLY like the cartoons. I personally don't care about the casting as much. I would say the only thing I'm disappointed about was the hair. I wanted it to be an unnatural shade of red like the cartoon (as she is a mermaid a magical creature I feel like they could have made it happen)
@@chasing_starlight well that’s what people mean when they say they wanted a “white” ariel… light skin blue eyes and unnatural red hair but at the end of the day what matters is bringing the magic back that nostalgia
@@justme1106 I don't care what her skin color is. That is the thing that people need to understand. I don't see skin color. When I look at her I see a talented young lady not her skin color.
@@chasing_starlight then its the same with hair. I do see her skin color same as if she was white and was supposed to be black (talking about the cartoon character) again i do believe she’s the best option for the role specially when it comes to her voice
The chills I got from watching this teaser when it first came out. I STILL get the chills every single time I see the teaser. So I then showed my daughter who is 4. Watching her watch that was like a full circle moment for me. As a mother, The nostalgia and chills were so intense. Lol
She’s beautiful, her voice is incredible, making her absolutely perfect for the part. How anyone could see the TikToks of all the adorable little Black and Brown kids faces absolutely lighting up with joy at seeing a young woman of color in such a magical movie like The Little Mermaid and absolutely killing it. I normally wouldn’t go see this movie, but her voice makes me want to. I love your excitement, it makes me happy watching you get so passionate about her singing.
I showed the trailer to my niece who is 13. And she started crying. She it was the first time that she had seen someone who looks like her be a princess. My niece has dreadlocks and has gotten bullied at her middle school for having them.
There are the varying levels of passion. Sometimes it's swells... almost beyond her-the way her tail is putting the waves in motion... it's beyond the depth. And then it's so quiet when she says "under the sea" there's like a little pause... wish I could be...(with that stunning little riff so natural so beautiful); "wish I can be'.... ( you're hearing in that one word so much of her heart, so much longing) and then she finishes . " "part of that world" 👏🏾
It's just gorgeous.
I have no idea why people are being insanely critical about black Ariel. I am 67 years old and remember when Indians, Asians and yes Africans were played by Caucasians. People criticizing the race of a creature that doesn't exist is ludicrous!
Halle was able to combine rnb & theatre. When she sings with Chloe she also has a blend of a rnb, classical, and jazzy sound.
I had tears in my eyes and than in the exact moment you said I’m crying and I was like wtf me too😭
She is so talented! ❤
One of the things I feel people are arguing over is not just the race, but how one will be better than the other. The thing that people need to realize is that it's not which one is better, it's that both are unique in their own way. Not one person is the same, we are each different in our own way. I love both Jodie for giving me a wonderful childhood and it is what we grew up with, and Halle I'm genuinely excited to see her own take and make more memories for our new generation. 💕
I always get goosebumps everytime I hear Halle belting the notes of the song 😩
Halle is absolutely stunning! Voice, beauty, personality, she’s the entire package and was perfect for the role! That’s why the team were set on her and didn’t really need to hear many other auditions. Definitely check out Chloe X Halle. 2 of the hardest working young ladies in the industry and I consider them some of the best singers in the industry.
I cried happy tears when she got this part and I can only imagine the tears she cried…and all the joy this will bring to little black girls etc…the haters can’t kill her joy! PERIOD
8:55 I was literally crying. That note hit me hard 🥺❤️
There’s an awesome full audio of the song on TikTok. Crystal clear. It’s incredible. I’m SO EXCITED to see this!!! I’ve only seen The Lion King of all the live action remakes. This is gonna be AMAZING because of this powerhouse HALLE BAILEY!!! Oscar buuuzzzzzz!!!
This is the first time watching this clip with you here and I started crying as well, like I replayed this movie every day for a year when I was a kid and I just felt all the emotions
I can't wait she's beautiful.... Her look is gorgeous.... Her voice is phenomenal... She's going to kill it 💙. I saw the teaser 100 times and cried 😭😭😭
i am SO GLAD that you love her rendition too 😭 i’ve spoken to a LOT of people who don’t like her for the role but when i saw her and heard her sing- to me, she seemed absolutely perfect for it. ariel (the cartoon) was truly iconic for her voice that, i mean, even ursula loved it so much she freaking took the damn thing, so it makes sense disney would cast based on voice more than looks- even though the actress also looks truly stunning and perfect as ariel ❤
I can’t wait to see this movie!! She sounds so amazing I think I’m gonna be crying throughout the movie 🥺🥺❤️
The controversy people have with Halle Bailey reminds me of how people reacted when they found out the cast of Encanto wasn't super famous people . They rather had "actual singers/actors" and were more concerned about the fame they had versus how well they fit into the role. It gives me hope that big names like Disney care a lot about skill and ability and are willing to pick up new or unknown actors/actresses compared to casting based on a famous name like with Beauty and the Beast. Hopefully it gives people who are going into the industry a stronger incentive to try out for bigger roles.
You know, she can sing (very well) that loud and clear underwater, I wonder how she sounds above water? 😳❤️
Haha 😂
Yo that reprise 😩
🤣🤣I've heard her above water on her yt vids... she has really evolved and will blow you away like a few other great singers do 🤣🤣
Love your critique on this! I also want to highlight how phenomenal her acting is at the climax of the song where she reaches out here hand. Her expression got me from tears to full out bawling because she was able to convey so much with just a look. I can't wait to see this movie!
Ugh! You are so blessed to have this. I cannot wait to see this! I’m here for the music and beautiful interpretations. My heart is so full right now. Great review!
I always cry when I watch your videos because your love for music shines through. You hear things that artists want the average listener to hear but don’t. As a artist myself it makes me emotional
When I saw the teaser I wasn't super enthusiastic - her voice is pretty but pretty singing wasn't going to get me to fall for another Disney Live Action Remake. But that moment in the extended version where she sings "explore the shore up above" and reaches through the cavern is so freaking gorgeous and emotional I think it's won me over.
It's a good thing it got released, huh? You would have missed out!
I was already excited for this movie, and after seeing/hearing the longer clip, I'm even more excited. Her voice is amazing, and she made me cry, too!
I absolutely love this video/review! Your excitement and enthusiasm got me with tears in my eyes. I had the same feelings you did when i first saw this extended leak! I love music but I’m not musically “smart” lol but i know when things don’t sound right! This is PERFECT! She brought the emotion that this song needed!
I am obsessed with this interpretation!
This was a great review. I’ve seen Chloe and Halle perform live and their voices are amazing. You might want to review their live vocals.
Wow, big respect for her voice work. And doing it all underwater too bravo 👏.
I have yet to hear Hallie sing this song without tearing up 🥲 So beautiful
I agree the run in the song and she is singing on another level made it more contemporary, relatable, and emotional. I love her and love her technique!❤️
