Jodi Benson on Auditioning and Getting the Part of Ariel in The Little Mermaid

[@LaraAkal]

Crazy how life happens and one "failed" opportunity leads to a door opening at just the right time! Parts of the original cast recording demos of Smile are on the album Howard Sings Ashman, and Jodi sings that amazing (and crazy coincidental) song called Disneyland so beautifully! Definitely listen to it and try NOT to hear Ariel sing it- near impossible! Howard Ashman's impact and influence were really something special. He is so missed.

Here we go again, another encounter from the Katzenberg guy who wants to cut the Jodi benson song is "part of your world".

[@jswatch9270]

I'm happy that the song is not cut out of the movie.

[@supercoolr9330]

@@jswatch9270 it's really important to finding the voice that Jodi Benson have. It's so amazing that this song never ever going to be cut from the film. Again

@@supercoolr9330 the song is amazing and I love Jodi Benson's voice and her performance as Ariel.

[@rbj8387]

Also the fact that part of your world is really the only song Ariel sings in the movie (aside from her "ahh-ahh-ahh" bits). Had that been cut who'd know how incredible a voice Jodi has?!?!
