The fact that the bride was the only person that knew who she was made it 10 times more special since you could tell that movie really meant a lot to her.
Agreed. This made the wedding perfect for her. You could tell by looking at her as Jodie was singing how much having her there singing this song meant.
I had tears in my eyes, the little mermaid was my favorite Disney movie. Seeing her light up as Jody sang and she sang along with her every note was simply beyond exquisite. A memory that will last a lifetime and I am sure if they have a little girl, she will be named Ariel. I was going to do that however, I just had 2 handsome boy's, now men. Congratulations to the happy couple and dream's really do come true.
aguiremedia they know but since it’s been 31 years since the movie came out, VAs don’t usually keep their voices the same after that many years (take Belle’s VA, for example. She doesn’t sound anything like before, even though the movie came out years after the little mermaid)
I give her, A LOT, of credit for keeping bright young vowels, and still singing mixed as much as she could despite the clear aging of her voice that wants her to sing with more maturity. She keeps that youth alive for the character but I seriously commend her on being able to form this sound, despite the natural aging of her vocal cords.
@@JW-lr8sd Not really backhanded. A more mature voice isn't negative. They mean that Ariel is a teenage girl and with her mature voice it's difficult to sound like that.
@@AJ-TheGr8 A little over the top. She’s a voice actress and singer by profession by career. It’s her job. Skill, nurture, plus nature. Didn’t need the lengthy expo on your expansive knowledge on vocals. 😂
Disney should go back to casting less known voice actors than the current celebrities they use today. They chose voices that better fit the character and story. Robin Williams is/was the exception. That was a genius casting choice.
I was about to say the same thing. Robin Williams being cast in Aladdin, and them exploiting him every chance they could against his will, and his contract, is the reason they cast celebrities instead of voice actors. Disney made record money backstabbing him. Robin Williams was so outraged by how they betrayed him when he played that role. They knew his only condition to signing on to the movie was that he wanted them to sell the movie, and not him; to keep the reason he was doing the role to begin with pure. (He wanted to have a fun movie to share with his children.) Long story short, Robin told disney they were despicable, disney said they didnt think hed take being exploited for profit so hard, Robin basically said f u, and walked. Thats why the dude that plays Homer Simpson was Genie in the second movie, that they barely put time into animating properly, before they promptly threw that crap straight to vhs and dvd. Because disney selling out Robin that hard after conning him to do the part with lies, Disney lost him, lost his respect, and it cost them a lot to win him back for the third installment of the series. Which disney didnt mind, because they made a ton on him the first time.
The fact that the bride sing all the words of this song with Jodi made it 10 times more special since you could tell that movie really meant a lot to her
His excitement was faaaake AF. He had no clue who she was. To be fair though you have to be a pretty hardcore fan of something to recognize a voice actor as soon as they walk in a room so.
Devin Likes Memez its actually not exactly the same, its quite far from it, are we even listening to the same video? Lol ahha but she do still sound beautiful
Yeah, it isn't the same. You can tell at the beginning that she is trying to sound younger so that she can sound more like Ariel but eventually stops and sometimes switches back in again. Still beautiful
@@leinpacheco5365 ACTUALLY, my first thought was WOW this is EXPENSIVE. I think youre just negative & trying to make me seem like an ass when I was literally thinking this lady is worth a lot NOT a little so it added to how lovely gift.
The bride recognized Jodi as soon as she walked in and everyone else was like 🤔🤔🤔, but when she was announced everyone went 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, that’s the best wedding gift!!! If I ever get married, I want Lebo M to sing Circle of Life!
Honestly if I was the bride, I probably would have a broke down crying and would have had a mental break down. Just thinking about the ending of my childhood coming into a new chapter of life, getting married, and soon having children of own. My childhood only to remain in distant memories....
YES. Quite frankly, I don't know if I'd even want a surprise like this at my wedding. It's too emotionally overwhelming, and I feel like I'd forget many other precious moments that day because this would instantly be the most memorable. My wedding day would be remembered not as the day I said my vows and celebrated my union, but "the day Jodi Benson sang for me". No disrespect to Jodi, but I don't need to relive my childhood and start crying hysterically at my wedding.
Or... ya know... just rich... he's no better than any of our dad's.. my dad doesn't have 50 grand to give to a wedding performer is all... cutting a check doesn't make you a great person.... but he did seem nice
Omg I love how the bride basically turned into a little girl as soon as Jodi started singing. She just lights up like she's seeing her childhood idol ❤
I was at the wedding. Jodi is a very close personal friend of mine and she did it for FREE. Krysten was absolutely blown away and she will remember this moment for the rest of her life. Don't always assume everything is about money!
Didn't she just do that TH-cam ad where everyone singing this song? I thought she was the lady in the office, but she had glasses on, so I'm not sure if that's her or not ...
Six Hand Spice Well the Live Action Mulan film will not have any of the following: No Shang, No Mushu, None of the songs, Mulan wlll be fighting a witch because there won’t be any Huns, Also there is going to be a new character in the army that doesn’t like her male persona, but once he finds out that he is actually a she then he likes her! I already had no plans to see this “movie” now I reaffirm my statement and I am trying to let everyone know as well! Oh and the remake of Lion King will not have the villain song “Be Prepared”!
I am in tears. This is a dad's reflection on what his daughter was to him while honouring what she is becoming all in one. Having kids is a trip honestly...so much life, love and letting go.
Chanel Cupcake at the end of the VHS they played her singing the song on the beach . like actually her. so if u watched her as a kid u knew what she looks like
And how the husband was like "I have no idea who that woman is but my wife is suddenly really happy so it must be good so I'm gonna act like I'm suddenly really happy too"
well, i doubt she could've picked her out of a crowd before that day. when she said her fave was the little mermaid and her dad said "ok" and walked out with a redhead, who else was she going to think it was? "ooh, maybe it's the voice actor for sebastian"! please.
It really was a tragedy that we lost Howard Ashman. The work he did for, “The Little Mermaid” is so impactful. Even after 33 years I still get chills and get emotional over the soundtrack.
Damn, she sounds just like the recorded version, thats crazy. Live performances always sound different from the recording but this is spot on, her voice didn't change at all
I cried watching the bride and her dad. I lost my dad 6 years ago and I know I won’t have a moment like this. Little mermaid was the first movie he took us to see in a theater. You can see how much this dad pours his heart into family. It’s not even about the “cost” it’s really about a man giving to his daughter a memory that they will always share. So heartwarming ❤
jeroen janssen that’s weird coz I’m the same! Me & my great grandma & other cousins in 1996 as well. We watched it few times until she was no longer afraid of little mermaid’s big eyes & before she passed away. Bless her.
Forget the video bringing me to tears, this comment did it. Saw this twice in the theater with my grandma and grandpa when it first came out. Grandpa passed in 2002, grandma passed in 2005. Such a great memory I always think of when I see the title =)
I love how she’s just so shocked and keeps looking around for people to be shocked like “It’s Jodi Bensons?! Holy shit guys it’s Jodi Benson!” but everyone’s just like “Who is this?...”
I think the bride's siblings and parents knew exactly who Jodi was and she was looking at them for their reactions. It was just the other wedding guests confused lol
I can't...I literally cannot get through this without crying. The groom knew the significance and the bride was amazed....This was a once in a lifetime moment
Jodi is so humble and beautiful. She is the one of the few that actually appreciate her celebrity for being Ariel. Jodi said she doesn't get tired of being Ariel she is very grateful to be part of such an iconic story.
Both Jodi and the person who played Jasmine are very much like that. Her name escapes me at the moment but i love watching yt vids of her doing shows and having guys come up to be Aladdin on A Whole New World…and some of them end up being quite good and surprising her!!!
43 year old man here and this is THE Disney song that gets me..........every time I hear it I get warped back to the movie theater with my Mom as we watched it..... hits me right in the feels
Yeah, I know! It's actually pretty passive aggressive 🤣 and it excludes the groom entirely. This is more of a stunt to pull at a birthday party, not a wedding
It's not a stunt it's a gift from the bride's parents to her as she embarks on the start of her marriage, not being a little girl anymore. Hence why they added the childhood family photo at the end.
I had the honor of meeting her at a convention shortly before Christmas last year, and she couldn't have been nicer. Definitely a class act. More celebrities should take a cue from her.
She delivered! So very talented. Who doesn’t want to take their little girl back to a childhood moment in time. The Parents had to watch this video hundreds of times I am sure.
I mean to be fair she sees her now husband like every day all the time. How often do you have the ACTUAL little mermaid performing right in front of you? Hahaha
@@disneyrules7808 I'm laughing of what Pasan H said😂😂😂😂😂because imagine if she said that her favourite movie was Frozen or any disney movie.That would have been so akward and funny😂😂😂
It really is great to see the voice actor of Ariel herself, Jodie Benson. Jodie's voice definitely puts everyone in the mood and it's great to go back in time 😊
She should have sung the reprise also. That is the best. "I don't know when. I don't know how. But I know something's starting right now. Watch and you'll see someday I'll be part of your world." The conviction in it but you know if you're a fan. Perfect for a wedding because of the commitment.
@Haley Cohen no its from the movie as well. Its the part after Ariel saves Eric and she starts to sing to him before going back into the ocean to finish from a rock.
I honestly wish I could've given my wife an experience like this lol she's a huge Disney fan, her favorite movie of all time is "Beauty and the Beast", and one of her lifelong dreams is to meet Paige O'Hara, the voice of Belle, maybe one day it'll be able to happen I hear she sometimes goes to comic-cons and stuff.
Angel Scinta Ariel was actually supposed to be blonde but they changed it because another mermaid movie came out with her having blonde hair. So they decided to change it. If you think I'm lying, you can Google this.
Only a father that loves his little princess that much can provide a suprise like this. He knows exactly what his daughter loves. This is his last and unfogettable gift 👏👏
my dad would always called me his little princess and when I had my wedding all the kids I knew ran up to me and a boy asked "what princess are you?" and then then the girl next to him said "she's Cinderella can't you see she's blonde and has a bun!" they still call me a princess and love when I visit them to play
Watching the bride transform back into a little girl listening to someone she clearly idolizes just brings a tear to my eyes. I love seeing her unabashed excitement for purely being in the presence of a woman who played a voice in a Disney movie. I love watching her not only sing along but act out the song as well. That husband is a lucky man
Jodi Benson is such a sweetheart I was able to meet her about 2 years ago!! My school tennis team was up against her son's school and she layed out snacks for everyone 😚 I was so mind boggled I didnt even know what to say, but she was so sweet and gave me a hug!!
@@jadecosme7360 Her Son's team😫 It was bittersweet, it all led up to my doubles team against theirs, we lost in a tie breaker, it is so nervewreaking when everyone is done and watching you play😱
Princesses do exist in the real world. So touching to watch bring me back to when I had my daughter bought this movie and watched it with her when she was only 11 months old.
This bride was such a sweetheart!! I loved her! She made me tear up because she appreciated so much what her parents did for her and her guest being there.Thank you for this video it was a good one to watch.
This song also means a lot to me. I have sung this more than a thousand times in my life. And I was able to enter a university singing this song, as my major is contemporary commercial music- vocal. I would sing this at my wedding someday, and yeah, as long as I'm alive, no matter how I get old, I would sing this song too. So this video makes me emotional. I love this live version so much.
Kelly Marie what’s your point? Like okay you have a tragic story stop shoving it down everyone’s throats. He asked about how much she was paid. It’s so annoying when people like you do that
The fact that the bride was the only person that knew who she was made it 10 times more special since you could tell that movie really meant a lot to her.
Agreed. This made the wedding perfect for her. You could tell by looking at her as Jodie was singing how much having her there singing this song meant.
I know! It was exciting, I mean, look at her happiness!
I fell in love with this wedding

Its IS Ariel dude.

I love that she still remembers Ariel. She doesn't only sing the part, she also acts the part. Brilliant! 👏
The music sheet is engraved in her soul
Jodi is now the top recognized expert on Ariel. Went to a Q&A with her a fewonths ago and there were about 40 people there. It was really special.
She was and will always be Ariel.
she's not that old
A good voice actor is always acting out the part while recording. That is one of the reasons Disney records VO sessions.
Is anybody gonna talk about the fact he has on mickey mouse gloves or no.
Tingle Tangle Asmr that had me going 😂
Tingle Tangle Asmr it’s probably a Disney cruise. Out of the vault for the last time. Yawn.
aww yeah lol it must have been a disney themed wedding
No we're good lol
Yea it was probably a Disney wedding no doubt
WTF THAT'S NOT EVEN MY WEDDIND AND I'M CRYING MORE THAN THE BRIDE
Blanche Vanin Haha, me too.
YUP ^^^^ THIS RIGHT HERE. THAT IS ONE EPIC WEDDING GIFT. GREAT JOB, DAD!!
I know what u mean I am almost gonna cry.
lols, I almost teared up myself. :3
I teared up and I don't usually cry this fast lmao
From sophisticated bride to total (adorable) geek in five seconds.
Olivia Rose u have so many likes yet no comments so just don’t mind me...
That's the inner child that never leaves us. I am dying to make it out to Disney world probably more so than my kids lol
Olivia Rose Exactly!😭 Meeting Jodi Benson is my absolute dream. This bride is so lucky! Jodi is amazing and this was so beautiful to watch.
Fangirl
I mean, I get it. I'd probably be sobbing.
Yes, her voice changes when she gets older, but the fact that SHE is Ariel will never change and that makes this so special. ❤️
Who ever said her voice doesn't change? And it didn't change that much in the first place.
noamto you’re right
Singing live is different than in a studio
Wait it changed?
35 years tends to do that to you. Still awesome!
shes older it shows in her voice. but her spirit is still lively. the bride must have felt so honored.
terrica m -- still gorgeous. Better than many of the young voices recorded.
@@jillcampbell8019 yes she is
It’s aged like a fine wine or whiskey. Refined. Matured.
Yes
Lmao the poor girls behind her with mics in front of them realized they didnt hold a candle
The wifes reaction is the best... Like her inner little girl came out.🤗
The pureness and authenticity of her GIANT grin throughout as she sings along....totally understand. Genuinely thrilled for her
Her hair is red, her dress is blue and the voice is on point I'm deaaaaad. My inner child burst out like a chestburster in Aliens, I. AM. SHOOK!!!
It is the real voice tho..
Joni _VaN yes......../.....
😂
Hahha like a chestburster in Aliens🤣 LMAO.
Triggered.
30 years later and she still has it. Unbelievable.
facts
U know she did the movie 30 years ago almost and she could still sing the song beautifully. Amazing!
It truly is amazing. If there is another Disney Princess voice actor still performing such a loved song i would be surprised.
Lea Salonga
she was lip synching so it's not that amazing
@@unfuzzy she definately was not. When you listen to this u could hear the matureness in her voice.
i've listened to enough disney songs to know a fake when i see one
The dad is remembering his daughter as a little girl🥰 her face is priceless.

Kayla D 😭😭😭😭😭 makes me miss my daddy so bad
I got a 6 yr old little girl and already tearing up at the thought of it.

I would have totally been that bride - gawping and crying happy tears. I'm such 12-year-old grrl.
The movie I saw with my grandma when I was seven. She passed in 1996..this video brought so many memories back..
jeroen janssen aw rip :(
jeroen janssen that’s weird coz I’m the same! Me & my great grandma & other cousins in 1996 as well. We watched it few times until she was no longer afraid of little mermaid’s big eyes & before she passed away. Bless her.
Omg me too! It was my first movie in the theater ever and I was with my grandma ! I still remember everything about it . 😍
Forget the video bringing me to tears, this comment did it. Saw this twice in the theater with my grandma and grandpa when it first came out. Grandpa passed in 2002, grandma passed in 2005. Such a great memory I always think of when I see the title =)
😞😕-😍😭
I love how she’s just so shocked and keeps looking around for people to be shocked like “It’s Jodi Bensons?! Holy shit guys it’s Jodi Benson!” but everyone’s just like “Who is this?...”
LMAO
Right? Lmao
Facts 😂😂😂
I think the bride's siblings and parents knew exactly who Jodi was and she was looking at them for their reactions. It was just the other wedding guests confused lol
Jodi Benson is the OG. That’s so sweet that she did this ❤️
I can't...I literally cannot get through this without crying. The groom knew the significance and the bride was amazed....This was a once in a lifetime moment
The groom didn't know who she was, the bride whispered it to him. His reaction is delayed.
Same. 37 years old and I'm sitting here crying lol
@@horsegirlb7120 hahaha yup
That's the point of a wedding...
It's a song, not a door. So you can't literally get through it.
The husband was like... what
He was like, what did I get myself into...lmao
His face was so red
XD i would be like that too
Jodi is so humble and beautiful. She is the one of the few that actually appreciate her celebrity for being Ariel. Jodi said she doesn't get tired of being Ariel she is very grateful to be part of such an iconic story.
She has a very expensive talent fee
Both Jodi and the person who played Jasmine are very much like that. Her name escapes me at the moment but i love watching yt vids of her doing shows and having guys come up to be Aladdin on A Whole New World…and some of them end up being quite good and surprising her!!!
@@LiddlestLady Lea Salonga
@@LiddlestLady lea salonga :) she is the singing voice of mulan as well!
43 year old man here and this is THE Disney song that gets me..........every time I hear it I get warped back to the movie theater with my Mom as we watched it..... hits me right in the feels
It’s like she got a flashback to her childhood for 3 minutes and then snap right back into present day! 😭 this is amazing!
Dad just literally threw his new son under the bus
Try making my lil girl happier than this buddy
Savage dad lol
Jlo Bronx this should be part of a movie 😂
Jlo Bronx this should have way more likes 😂😂😂
Yeah, I know! It's actually pretty passive aggressive 🤣 and it excludes the groom entirely. This is more of a stunt to pull at a birthday party, not a wedding
It's not a stunt it's a gift from the bride's parents to her as she embarks on the start of her marriage, not being a little girl anymore. Hence why they added the childhood family photo at the end.
@@elizabethfuller5508 lol thanks my friend, stay well 🥰
Can I have the whole Muses from Hercules in my wedding?
Im gonna try and get powerline at my wedding
The Gospel Of Truth (All Parts, but especially when they sing about Hades), is my favorite song(s) from Disney's Hercules movie.
😂
Ikr I love Hercules
YESSSSS
The bride excitedly singing along made this 100x better ♥️
Jodi still has it
evangeline douros IKR?! I almost 😭
She never lost it
I just want Mulan on mine please
P.S I know Lea Salonga is her singing voice
But lea salonga is from aladdin
Hola from mulan and Aladdin
Alias Sea I’m sorry I just have to interrupt but I love Lea Salonga😂💗 she’s Filipino just like me😂😂
Hola Lea Salonga is the singing voice of both Jasmine and Mulan
I just love to meet Lea period! Her singing the voice of Jasmine inspired me as a kid and later seeing how her real career was theater!
The bride might be getting married but she is still a little girl on the inside 🥰
The little girl in me came out as I was watching this. 😊💜
We all are ...
I had the honor of meeting her at a convention shortly before Christmas last year, and she couldn't have been nicer. Definitely a class act. More celebrities should take a cue from her.
She delivered! So very talented. Who doesn’t want to take their little girl back to a childhood moment in time. The Parents had to watch this video hundreds of times I am sure.
Byron Umbles i did and I'm not her family
I freakin love Jodi. She lives like 15 minuets from me. I loooovveee her😫😫
You are lucky
Wow! That's amazing. She's my entire childhood.

Think you mean "full of s***" not lucky.

How dare you say that to the sultan of Brunei.
For everyone wondering the minimum they had to pay to hire her was 25K-40K :)
Chez it • and I oo-
AHAHA no mam
Chez it • welp, im poor
I wasn't wondering.. don't care
@@merncat75, they did say for everyone who cares
The bride singing along with pure wonder I. Her eyes has got bawling my eyes out so happy for her
Plot twist this had the bride more excited than marrying that man😂
I think it did to be honest
I mean to be fair she sees her now husband like every day all the time. How often do you have the ACTUAL little mermaid performing right in front of you? Hahaha
Would've been awkward if she said "Frozen"..
Fun Fact: The Little Mermaid and Frozen are both based on fairy tales written by Hans Christian Andersen.
Lmaoooooo😂😂😂😂😂lololollll
@@Michelle-ky8qt What?
@@disneyrules7808
I'm laughing of what Pasan H said😂😂😂😂😂because imagine if she said that her favourite movie was Frozen or any disney movie.That would have been so akward and funny😂😂😂
@@Michelle-ky8qt The Little Mermaid and Frozen are both based on fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen.
30 years later and she still sounds beautiful
The bride’s reaction made this so much more beautiful. ♥️
I should see if Pat Carroll's available to sing Poor Unfortunate Soul at my wedding.
Yesssss
Same.
Haha
Bahahahahaha omg im fuckin dead I absolutely love this comment
LOOOOOOOOOL. Would have been perfect so my husband knew what he was getting himself into 😂
Huge Jodi Benson fan! Love her.
Koral Davis YES! I’m SOOOO following her on Twitter!🧜🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️🧜🏻♀️💖💖💖💖
Same here
Same
@Andrew James rafols my too
@Andrew James rafols Mine too!
The wife was like OH MY GOSH and
the husband was like WHO THE FCK IS THIS
Lmao
Husband were like... "How much will this cost me?"
@@cediep0tp0t32 do you know how weddings work. The women's family supposed pay for the wedding.
@@julianrender8212 i know a lot about weddings.. Trust me here in my country the husband are the one who pays for everything.
It really is great to see the voice actor of Ariel herself, Jodie Benson. Jodie's voice definitely puts everyone in the mood and it's great to go back in time 😊
She should have sung the reprise also. That is the best. "I don't know when. I don't know how. But I know something's starting right now. Watch and you'll see someday I'll be part of your world." The conviction in it but you know if you're a fan. Perfect for a wedding because of the commitment.
True
@Haley Cohen no its from the movie as well. Its the part after Ariel saves Eric and she starts to sing to him before going back into the ocean to finish from a rock.
Watching the bride mouth every word you realize that this surprize made what was likely already a fairy tale wedding complete! Very cool, indeed!
I honestly wish I could've given my wife an experience like this lol she's a huge Disney fan, her favorite movie of all time is "Beauty and the Beast", and one of her lifelong dreams is to meet Paige O'Hara, the voice of Belle, maybe one day it'll be able to happen I hear she sometimes goes to comic-cons and stuff.
she's still got it. it's amazing that a pretty red head is played by a pretty red head.
Angel Scinta Ariel was actually supposed to be blonde but they changed it because another mermaid movie came out with her having blonde hair. So they decided to change it. If you think I'm lying, you can Google this.
All Disney princesses are designed based off of their voice actresses.
Allison Tran interesting I just learned something.
Adeldee oh really? cool.
Janay Ah, I see. But for Ariel, specifically, she's still based off of Jodi Benson so you could say it's a bit of both.
As someone who absolutely loves the little mermaid this is an iconic gift!
Holy crap i worked this wedding i remember this it was amazing (i’m a server at icona avalon)
Lucky one!
Lucky!
Cooool
Nice
Zaquari Lanc super lucky
Only a father that loves his little princess that much can provide a suprise like this. He knows exactly what his daughter loves.
This is his last and unfogettable gift 👏👏
my dad would always called me his little princess and when I had my wedding all the kids I knew ran up to me and a boy asked "what princess are you?" and then then the girl next to him said "she's Cinderella can't you see she's blonde and has a bun!" they still call me a princess and love when I visit them to play
@@syuriidistic Aww! That's so dang cute!
@@syuriidistic lol spoiled brats
She also sang A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes and When You Wish Upon a Star at that wedding
*at not on
@@bigred8432 there...
How'd you know?
@@chineseguywithoutcoronavir6687 i have the video
@@recuerdos26 can you upload it so everyone can see :) THANK YOU
Watching the bride transform back into a little girl listening to someone she clearly idolizes just brings a tear to my eyes. I love seeing her unabashed excitement for purely being in the presence of a woman who played a voice in a Disney movie. I love watching her not only sing along but act out the song as well. That husband is a lucky man
That moment after Jodi started singing when the father smiled seeing how happy his little girl is, you did good my fellow dad.
Her reaction made me cry! You can see she is a real fan!
I’m jealous that was SO awesome I bet that made the brides childhood dreams come true!!!!
Nothing can beat the original version! The original version brings back memories
The new one was never intended to beat the original. It's simply another beautiful rendition of it.
There's no 'VS' involved ❤
ORIGINAL On top❤
She went straight back to being a little girl who loved Ariel. Not sure if this will be the best part of her wedding day & not the ceremony. lol
The bride is literally every little mermaid fans dream come true 😭
Jodi Benson is such a sweetheart I was able to meet her about 2 years ago!! My school tennis team was up against her son's school and she layed out snacks for everyone 😚 I was so mind boggled I didnt even know what to say, but she was so sweet and gave me a hug!!
She is in Enchanted too, which is a great Disney movie.
When you’re the real Little Mermaid you have a reputation to maintain 😂😂
OMG! Ur so lucky!!
Which team won???
@@jadecosme7360 Her Son's team😫 It was bittersweet, it all led up to my doubles team against theirs, we lost in a tie breaker, it is so nervewreaking when everyone is done and watching you play😱
i couldnt help but shed a few tears, the lil mermaid was my EVERYTHING. the brides reaction made this so much more wholesome too
They should of had Ursula sing to them "poor unFORtunate soulss!!!"😁
she’s like 94 now
Jajajaj yes because they’re getting married.. for a you little kids that don’t understand 😂😂
only if Jodi does Ariel's vocalizing and Pat Carroll does Ursula's maniacal laughter.
LOL!
@@iisxphieii1991 she 54
Imagine your childhood hero sings at your wedding...
Does Jenna Jameson sing at weddings?
Does Batman sing?
Does George Lucas sing at weddings?
@@drewwhitney7327 no... However, Kathleen does 🤣🤣
Hakeem Olajuwon, Michael Jordan, and Craig Biggio don’t sing so...
I've met Jodie several times she is such a joy to be around and damn she can still sing hasn't lost a step
Princesses do exist in the real world. So touching to watch bring me back to when I had my daughter bought this movie and watched it with her when she was only 11 months old.
This bride was such a sweetheart!! I loved her! She made me tear up because she appreciated so much what her parents did for her and her guest being there.Thank you for this video it was a good one to watch.
i know right? it really looked like it meant so much to her!!
.....this is *exactly* the kind of thing Jodi Benson would do. LOVE this woman.
Bro please.. She was paid for it. It was nice and all but don't be delusional !
This is exactly the kind of thing any actor/actress/singer would do for $50k for 20 minutes work, yes, you’re right!
Just a dad making his princess happy❤️Love it! Tears!
This song also means a lot to me. I have sung this more than a thousand times in my life. And I was able to enter a university singing this song, as my major is contemporary commercial music- vocal. I would sing this at my wedding someday, and yeah, as long as I'm alive, no matter how I get old, I would sing this song too. So this video makes me emotional. I love this live version so much.
North Korea is the real Korea
some say it sound older , sound the same to me , not mine fave song thou
Can't help but wonder how much she was paid...
@@CelticSparrows feeling bitter, huh?
Kelly Marie lmao that response was so irrelevant. Literally no relevancy to the comment above or the video.
Kelly Marie what’s your point? Like okay you have a tragic story stop shoving it down everyone’s throats. He asked about how much she was paid. It’s so annoying when people like you do that
She really didn't offend anyone..i can't understand why you are all against her...
You kept on living for a reason because God loves you Xxx
Kelly Marie bitch shut up that response is so irrelevant
the bride got excited before anyone else when jodi benson showed up and she knows all the lyrics, that’s the best part!!!
God, I'm still getting that Ursula vibe and dying to steal that magical voice that enlightened my childhood. When will her voice age? I guess never.
Still sounds just as awesome as she did singing it thirty years ago.
