We should actually be thankful that someone as sweet and talented as Halle was cast as such a beloved character. She’s perfect for it

Thank god she got casted

It's funny bc I remember people were fancasting Ursula as Black no one was mad. They said we can be a Squid but not a Mermaid.

@@kaylad4486 no they could be mermaids but not Ariel 😂😂😂😂… Halle was great!!! And that’s not her song it’s Howard Ashmans song…. She just got lucky enough to sing it ❤😢

@dilldirk halle is the perfect ariel whether anyone wants to admit it or not. Racism still existing is humiliating.

I agree 100%, her voice is like silk. It’s such a shame that Ariel can’t speak for half the movie 🤐😭

FR!! Her voice is so soft spoken yet so calming almost like getting a massage

Did you hear she got the part live action Ice Age as Sid?

@@bikboto-zx6my 🤡

@@bikboto-zx6my haha very funny 😐

You have a lovely voice Jada. And I love the dress you wear😊

Your voice is absolutely beautiful!!!

Girl, you can sing!

Jadaaaaa ❤💖💋💞💝

Your voice is enchanting!

Facts!💯

@@RyuS-kw4dl martin luther king is a real man, halle is playing a fictional mermaid that disney changed years before she even touched the role, you lost credibility already

@@RyuS-kw4dl and if you say a girl who was a innocent teenager when she took the role deserves anything 'bad', then that means youre a horrible person and deserve the karma coming at you.

@@RyuS-kw4dl Martin Luther King is a real person. If there was to be a movie about his life, then obviously the actor would be black as MLK’s Race has so much significance to his story. Ariel on the other hand is a FICTIONAL Character written off a mythical creature. When the Crab was speaking Patios in the animated nobody had any issues… but the mermaid being black is where the line gets drawn !?

So true , who cares it's not red hair with white skin. This is 2023 new version of Ariel. Young girls like her is thrilled they see them as a princess. She has amazing voice can act

Right ❤

Your rendition was so good! And your reaction was so sweet ❤

You really made us all proud once again!🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

Represent!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

Big up you 🙌🏾🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

You did PHENOMENAL!!!! Keep it up!!!

Ikr! If you’re so pressed about the casting of a children’s movie about a fish go complain to Disney not the talented girl they casted to play the role!

@@GlassOfWater808 exactly! do we see any of the kids complaining? No, a bunch of Adults making racist jokes about halle

And of course their white adults

@@serenitysubs933 Exactly. Adults complain that they feel like Disney has ruined their childhood movie. They didn't screw it up because it's still there and they can choose not to watch the live action. Disney made the live action for the new generation of kids who probably wouldn't like the boring old version where Ariel's singing is plain and flavourless.

You're not wrong. She really does have that sugar, spice and everything nice kinda vibe 😄

She exudes kindness and patience. Like, someone who actually listens instead of waiting for their turn to talk. It also takes a special kind of person to continually go through the idiotic backlash shes gotten and not seem to be affected by it. It's beyond unfair, but she's handling it gracefully. I hope she goes far

@@L8yMeg314 I agree!

Yeah, I notice that too... She's sound so nice, gentle and adorable, I really didn't know that there's exist someone like that in this world we live.

Hope she remains this way and not turn into a diva in the future. Fame can change people.

You deserve the love❤ Also I 100% agree eith what she said and your voice is AMAZING🎉

@@thewhiterabbit2448 ahh thank u 🫶

@ Alodia Diane You have such a beautiful voice🫶🏾💕

You have such a beautiful voice 🥺🤎 definitely subscribing!

You for sure did your thing!!!!

🙄....

@@JejeSolitaireDechu you mass commenting is not changing anything lol. obsessed freak.

Yeah 😊

@@JejeSolitaireDechu Yikes.

​@@JejeSolitaireDechuyou got a problem?

🤢

@@JejeSolitaireDechu why come to the video. WHY come to the comments. Just to hate. Unnecessary and immature. People like you give her views. And are the reason why she is thriving😂

@@JejeSolitaireDechu That's how you should look at yourself in the mirror when you bleed monthly.

@@lareinelester685 🙄🤢🤮

@@JejeSolitaireDechu I know that's the look you make when you bleed 😂

I hated the original and only watched the live version because of Halle and liked it. She's perfectly casted.

@@Ghost-un6oe me too!! i wouldnt have watched it if halle wasnt ariel. halle was and is so amazing 😭 she deserves nothing but happiness and success

She’s the reason I was looking forward to this movie. Like knowing how talented she is and what she could bring to the table?? Yup.

Y’all are just simping over her 😂

@@agirlinabasementofyourdaddy yeah cause being happy for someone else is simping 😂 get a life

I’m glad they did as well, it sounds amazing and builds on the original!

Yeah man that was my favorite part

I honestly don’t think the Little Mermaid live action could have worked as well with anyone else. It’s such a hard role bc of the singing but also the non-verbal acting she had to pull off. 👏

Il faut pas beaucoup pour vous aveugler n'importe qui peu jouer l'hypocrite est se faire passer pour un ange....

​@@JejeSolitaireDechu8 comments in this channel. Pathetic

​@@JejeSolitaireDechubro what

Princess Tiana opened the door that Halle has been able to walk thru. I wish ppl would stop acting like she wasn’t the first blk Princess.

@@chantanelsmith5656 think they mean live action wise

Brandy was Cinderella in the 1997 version.

I mean Halle did amazing and didn't deserve the hate (over not looking exactly like a fictional character). But black actors have plenty of exposure and there are a lot of famous black actors, and it's okay to admit that and celebrate how far we've come.

@@angelpaula2432 it seem like it’s meant in all aspects to me

who is darisha?

She didn't really dye her hair at all she had her natural hair colour wrapped with copper locs

​@@Disney65Fanthey're just saying that she's back rockin them.

so true😭🥺she hasn't changed at all her calm and warm persona is still with her love halle sm

When doesn't she

She's THAT GIRL😍😍

Amen to that 💖

Yes. She does not deserve the hate. What upsets me is that the creators of the youtube channels do not delete the mean and negative comments

She really is a gem. Loved how she brought Ariel to life but also insert part of her own personality. Doe-eyed beauty for sure.

Agreed ❤

yes 😓 R.i.p. Aaliyah ❤

Racists cause they don't like the film and what they changed?Lol

@@32lilbruce it not about "not liking the film" u dummy is about making fun of her skin, her factions, saying the girl who played vanessa should have been the little mermaid when jessica herself said she wasn't forna role like that. People are literally hating on the movie and her bc OF THE COLOR OF HER SKIN ignoring all the good qualities she has. Pls they ARE racist.

​@@32lilbruce It's okay to not be comfortable with change or just dislike it. It's part of human nature. What isn't is hating on an innocent person like Halle just because she's black. or dismiss her talent as autotune or say she doesn't deserve this role. That's based on prejudice and doesn't address the actual talent she has.

@@32lilbruce so you want white actresses to be cast over black actresses even though the black actresses are better? And you’re mad about that not being the case? And you’re not racist?

call them racist just because they don't like the movie? it would have still been hated by a lot even if she was a white girl with blond hair. just don't change the original. why not make a new movie if you really want to cast Halle Bailey.

How exactly is it superior to the original? Really curious

@@eclergt9926 To me this story is much more complete than the original. It extends for 50 more minutes and it never feels like there's wasted screen time. There are new songs which are very magical and charming. The acting for many characters like Ursula, Scuttle, Sebastian, and others is just really well made and it's fun to watch. Ariel is the most controversial one, but for me Halle simply has that charm, not only because of her beautiful voice, but her expressions capture Ariel's curiosity, kindness and passion. Some say the visuals for the under-the-sea scenes are very dull looking, but for me the trailers don't do them justice. The backgrounds are very full of life and color; obviously not to the extend of being completely saturated like in the original film, as it's a live action and it's meant to look more "realistic", same with Ariel's hair color. To me it's just a very successful remake.

The struggle of being black ig

Omg i was about to say the same thing😊

Like right now!!!😭

Fr

OMG YESSSS

And talking about look she is gorgeous

i thought she looks the part as well.

As well as Tiana
