Aladdin is ready to fly into cinemas May 24th
And here it is: the latest rendition of timeless classic A Whole New World set as the end title for Disney's live action ALADDIN which flies into theatres this month. It is performed by surprisingly good Zayn and awfully mismatched vocals from a singer called Zhavia Ward (I've never heard of her, but her singing sounds ghastly bad in the song, even offensively disrespectful to the genre, but that's a millennial for you, sadly)! Beside new versions of the old songs, the soundtrack will have a new song as well. Will Smith and DJ Khaled will cover classic Oscar nominated song Friend Like Me. New song Speechless is performed by

  1. Plenty of time till Christmas...
    I don't know enough about Christmas and caroling; so, I wonder how this dark, ghost story A Christmas Carol, helps a modern audience get into the spirit of Christmas holiday without spoiling festivity and good mood.

  2. You’ve made Jason’s day with the Christmas Carol news.

    Oh my, that girl was ghastly! She sings way too low for the part. Just horrible. Love Zane and think his part was done beautifully, but poor guy is looking awful thin. Hope he’s okay!
