The end climax is genius. The crescendo into above emulates Ariel's desire to leave the bottom of the sea and swim up above the surface (rising). The choice to feature a descending vocal riff on the "wish I could be" is Ariel coming back down to reality.

[@nut4ku]

@@libras_groove bruh i dont know what are you talking about. The Little Mermaid remake has made $544.1 million at the current worldwide box. For a film with a budget of $250 million and $140 million in global marketing spend, The Little Mermaid hasn't earned back nearly as much as other Disney live actions, such as The Lion King and Aladdin. As you can probably tell from these numbers, The Little Mermaid's revenue has been unusually skewed. The Little Mermaid, initially expected to make $800m-$1B, then downgraded to make between $600m-$750m after it's first showings. It's bombing and Disney will lose millions $$$ because of it. Not counting the costs for marketing, which are likely in the millions. Some outlets have indicated it would need closer to $750 million, given the marketing budget. It seems the movies only do well in the domestic box office. This film experienced a big flop at the overseas box office especially in China. The Little Mermaid's live-action remake has had a pretty disappointing box office return, with it destroying Disney's $1 billion box office trend, causing many to wonder if Disney's live-action remakes will ever be able to recover. I'm not sure people will come to theater to watch that movie again. Other live action movies also seem to fail like Pinocchio, Mulan, Peter Pan & Wendy. The only one that is the best and most works is Cinderella (although the the little mermaid are just slightly more profitable than cinderella but it's still a success if you compared to its budget and also success is not always seen from how much the profit). Also the rating in IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes is very low even if you compared it with the original. Only 52% from google users like this film. The og is the first movie that Howard and Alan worked on together, creating a new broadway musical element that has raised disney from their downfall for a long decades or known as Bronze Age or Dark Age of Disney and made a huge profit also became the pioneering film of the Renaissance Era of Disney. Disney historian or disney nerd would never forget the og. You know what makes this live action remake profitable is because they take advantage of the nostalgia bait from the fans. If the og is not very successful before then I'm sure the remake will lose much more. But actually the only problem from this live action is not just about the race. They're lack of creativity to make a story or even just improve the story. Did you know that some changes from this movie is to campaining about culture, modern society, racism, pro feminism, anti male, culture inaccuracies, girlboss and sexism? I'm not bragging and this is a fact. Dont take me wrong, I love disney but they keep dissapointed their fans by their wokeness. You just need to view all reviews about this movie in youtube than you could understand

[@alwaysbam]

It's crazy. Cuz Alan Menken really went back on his own song and change things. Most writers wouldn't change an iconic song they wrote to update it to the new singer. Props to him

[@jasmineechols2265]

He listened to her singing Part of Your World and knew he have to change it because she sang it same way in her auction. Made them all cry

[@OnMyOwn__4]

That’s cause it was Howard Ashman who wrote the lyrics of the song, and basically started working on the melody of it before Alan came in. It was Howard who was perfectionist about the way this song was supposed to be sang. Alan had no problem changing it now.

[@sashav.3189]

The changes were mostly her, they gave her that freedom which is so gracious to do.

Somebody that you watch her sing, how she sings this of such an iconic song and how beautiful she is but then that smile at the end also - Halle is just one of those people who radiates so much that can detract anyone from their troubles just from those few moments to feel emotion of joy instead.

[@uzumaki3755]

Halle elevated the song so much that I can't even listen to the original the same way anymore. She set a new standard for how the song will be sung in the future. It's like Whitney Houston doing Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You." We respect the original and the o.g. who sang it first, however it's become a new classic onto itself. Jody should be proud because Halle loved her so much as the voice of Ariel in the animated version. Love it!

[@MichaelJones-yx4zv]

Exactly 💯

[@MegaBloodrain]

People generally don't give a lot of flak for critiquing the song or vocal choices, that's fine.. It's when they decide whether or not she deserves the role, overlooking talent and the hard work it took to get there, all based on the colour of her skin.

[@jaypz7781]

ohhhhhhh i'm so with you! people should just be scrutinizing her for her performance (which was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G), not for who she is or where she came from! racism shouldn't have a place in the music industry, or anywhere else, for that matter.

[@TiaraHerr]

I am a profoundly hard-of-hearing/legally deaf classically trained vocalist and I sometimes find it difficult to hear some of the pedagogical minutia that you so clearly point out. Thank you for that! If I am with someone in person, I can use my other senses in conjunction with my hearing to quite easily feel and hear the things you need to as a vocal coach, but when I am not in someone's presence it can be difficult for me. That's why I only teach lessons in person and I teach my students to sing from a multi-sensory, full-body perspective. It's worked out great for me and my students thus far! Have you ever come across another HOH/d/Deaf vocal coach and if so, what did you think? Thanks for sharing, Tara!

[@dougel4709]

HOW!! This little lady got skillz!!! 🧜‍♀ And a slightly tangent high-point for me... right after that first surprise high note, the big burly middle age dude just singin' his heart out to a Disney Princess song!! Anyone else think he's probably an amazing dad to a daughter or two?!?! ❤

LOL, I tried the "above" the way that you noted and it was a lot brighter! So I don't think that you will get too much flack! 💕💕 Not that I am comparing myself to Halle! LOL, but for me, it was brighter.

[@Rosannasfriend]

I too, would have widened the vowel on the word “above“, but at the same time I love the way she was able to do it and keep it that very vertical shape. It seemed to really work for her, so why change it?

[@maniimanii9164]

I feel like Halle may have intentionally sung it the way she did to emphasize how trapped Ariel feels. And in terms of the vertical shape you were talking about I also think that it works well in the actual scene considering she's swimming and reaching straight up desperately wanting to be above the water ☺️

[@celinel.844]

I also think since the above ends on a D5 and the reprise climax is also on a D5 going for a mix here and keeping the belt for the reprise and holding it longer serves to show Halle’s different colors in terms of vocals and still make the reprise’s climax impressive even when it’s the same nite.

[@sareedoahmed1751]

I totally agree that the changes she made to the melody were well done. I've heard people complain that it's just unnecessary high notes and the song is not meant to be a power ballad, but I don't think it felt unnecessary at all.
