Music has always been a source to help celebrate life's moments and with a sprinkle of pixie dust, a fun way to uplift spirits. The Disney Family SingAlong, with 13 million viewers was such a hit in our house and featured a star-studded lineup of industry talent like Ariana Grande, Josh Groban, John Stamos, Kristin Chenoweth, Auliʻi Cravalho and more. Hubby and I belted out our childhood favorite melodies from the Jungle Book, Hercules and Aladdin, while our boys enjoyed singing along to Moana and Toy Story.
This Mother's Day you can find me lounging around in pajamas and my new Little Mermaid ears all day, with no plans but to chill out with my boys, enjoying breakfast in bed, a morning walk (with my Disney Villains handmade facemask on) and a marathon of our fave themed board games. We'll wrap up the night with dinner and show as we tune into the airing of The Disney Family SingAlong II on ABC at 7pm ET.
Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, the nationwide singalong event features celebrities and their families as they sing beloved Disney tunes from home. Taking to their living room studios and kitchen stages to sing with the nation are Christina Aguilera, Tituss Burgess, Sabrina Carpenter, Chloe x Halle, Billy Eichner, Hayley Erbert, Josh Gad, Donald Glover, Halsey, Derek Hough, Julianne Hough, Jennifer Hudson, Lang Lang, John Legend, Idina Menzel, Miguel, Keke Palmer, Katy Perry, Ben Platt, Seth Rogen, Anika Noni Rose, Walter Russell III, Shakira, Rebel Wilson and more surprises.
With the Little Mermaid being one of my treasured first Disney princesses, without a doubt I was hyped to eventually witness a black girl magical performance from actress and singer Halle who's to play Ariel in the live-action remake. We've got fingers crossed that production delays won't push the film release back too far. Halle teaming up with her sis Chloe and singer/actress Anika Noni Rose to sing a soulful rendition of "Almost There" was perfect, and has me anticipating fresh beignets and the opening of the new Princess Frog themed restaurant in Disney World.
I'm personally looking forward to Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the rest of “The Muppets” gang raising the curtain and opening the show, followed by a warmup with Tituss Burgess who has such powerhouse vocals. Not going to lie, he had my vote along with Queen Latifah to play the role of sea witch Ursula in The Little Mermaid remake.
