My favorite song is “A Whole New World”
I really like Speechless. It was sang really well. The melody was perfect. Very powerful song. Naomi Scott played the scene part and sang “Speechless” amazing.
Friend Like Me, Robin Williams is an amazing Genie, I am ready to see how Will smith did as he is a very talented actor and I’m sure he did great as well.
Prince Ali! It makes me want to get up and march and dance

“Friend Like Me,” it’s just a fun, upbeat, happy song. It brings a smile to my face when I hear it.
Prince Ali. The view of him coming down the street with the elephant and the Geenie turning into different people in the crowd is just so fun!
My fave song has to be the deleted “proud of tour boy” from the animated version. But of those officially in the films: one jump ahead
