Original Ariel defends 'The Little Mermaid' casting Halle Bailey
The original voice of Ariel in The Little Mermaid has given her blessing to Halle Bailey, who will play the beloved character in Disney’s upcoming live-action remake.
Even as she gets older, Benson said she is still able to embody Ariel in her performance. “When I’m singing ‘Part of Your World,’ if you were to judge me on the way that I look on the outside, it might change the way that you interpret the song,” she said. “But if you close your eyes, you can still hear the spirit of Ariel.”
Despite the negative response, many people have applauded Bailey’s casting, saying that the performer possesses both the acting and singing chops needed for the role. Bailey is one half of R&B duo Chloe x Halle, and stars alongside sister Chloe Bailey on the Freeform comedy Grown-ish. In addition to Benson, other major celebrities have publicly supported Bailey, including Grown-ish castmate Yara Shahidi, Sophie Turner, Zendaya, and Halle Berry, who tweeted that “Halles get it DONE.
