As someone who is in the Lion King Cast (not the Broadway, just at my local theatre), Lion King is such an ensemble heavy song, that literally every voice counts.

The cast of Lion King clearly won this sing off, but the rap from the "genie" was off the chain. Both cast are very talented. I wish I was there to witness this first hand. #Disney

[@Wishphoenix1]

I liked the Aladdin cast better. The genie had more style and personality. The Lion King cast drowned out the main singer in the circle of life as well. I liked the background singers in that, but I prefer strong vocals, and she was much too quiet and her voice was rather husky. Plus Aladdin gets bonus points for their originality in Genie’s rap. The Lion King cast just did what they have done 1000 times in rehearsals, at least Aladdin came up with something new (and on the spot no less). Lion King has a bunch of cool background music that is sung throughout the show, unlike Aladdin. Which is why at the end of the day Aladdin gets my vote to win. But they were both awesome 😊

I was once challenged by someone on stories *I had written* . They told me they were a superfan, and guaranteed they knew more than I did. I won that fact fight, but by the end of it a group of people who knew my stories were gathered around laughing hysterically. (My school is very tight-knit, so a lot of people read my stories. Not many people know what I *look* like, though, so I knew this would happen sooner or later.)

I think they did not sang those songs since they were either duets or solos. The Lion King cast were singing "all cast memebers" songs (they had lead singers but all members were part of the song) so I think the Aladdin cast wefe trying to respond in kind.
