- 13-year-old actor Apollo Jones amazes as Ursula, performing Poor Unfortunate Souls as the iconic female Disney villain from The Little Mermaid Jr. musical. Also, please see the Poor Unfortunate Souls reprise that has gone viral at • 13-YEAR-OLD BOY KILLS ...
The real question is why would he want Ariel's voice when he already has the best!
Now THAT'S a good question.
RIGHT

This man is a g o d when he gets older if he's not on Broadway I'ma sue
Interesting to learn what happens to the sound when his voice changes.
While watching it I was like “dam that’s a boy what?
He'll be a star. Unless the Homophobes get to him first and ruin his spirit
hes not god
@@winterzace5597 Maybe not, but I said he is a god because to find someone who has that kind of talent at that age and is willing to express it in ways that people may find questionable is honorable. Also I didn’t say he was god, this man is just sentient but my apologies if I offended you.
Holy shit that boy can sing
@@moconr02 can you sing like that??
@@moconr02 maybe it’s not you’re favourites styles but it takes a lot to sing like that
@@moconr02 Actually yes... He can, with a pretty good technique I've gotta say
@@moconr02 it takes a lot to sing like that bro
You need to get out more then. I've heard better
For middle school this is so high quality periodt
I know, it’s ridiculous!!!!
just wish they had a better mic/speaker setup
It's pretty on par for middle school as far as production goes tbh
u should have seen my schools production, it was INSANE. The lights, the mermaids costumes were stunning and they moved around on wheels, our Ursula’s costume was STUNNING. it was great
The body language part killed me!
Honestlyyyyyy
The one dislike is from ariel thats jelous 😂
You know it they just mad they weren’t born to be a star! 🤣
Ariel, Flounder and Sebastian mad as heck 😂
All the dislikes are from people who are salty and jealous
@@imhellasus2947 they could never
Unrelated but MLB 🐞 yesss
He is better than pretty much all of the performers at my high school. Better than the graduates from last year and they are definitely talented.
I'm sure that's saying so much...sike.
God I wish I had this kids confidence in middle school, it's inspiring, keep being you and don't let anyone stop you♡
I once, from a internship, knew this one 6 year old boy that loved wearing dresses.
Yes I thought the same! He’s incredible.
@@peter_pansexual6243 I hope no one tried to make him feel bad for liking that
@@williamsmith6213 He wasn't in my group so I'm not 100% sure but none of the kids ever said something. Some of the educators told me that his dad isn't that thrilled about it but when I gave him one of my tiara's his dad apparently didn't complain. I even overhead him asking him where he got it from.

Can we all acknowledge that they changed the line from “this wanting to be thinner” to “this one wanting to be shorter” so that it wouldn’t be harmful? Love that!
🙄 ... now we're offending tall people instead of fat people, yeah, that's real social justice lady. Everyone needs to stop being offended by everything.
@@cloudambient you literally just got offended by this random comment enough to comment on it 🙄 way to prove a point lady
@@cloudambient As a tall person I didn’t get offended, the only one seeming to of gotten “offended” was you... Yikes 😬
Edit: Ik people hate edits but jfc can you guys stop responding to me, I understand the points you’re making but I’ve said that I’m done with this debate that I somehow got myself into.
@@Maisie652 you're proving my point. No one is, or at least should be offended. So why change the words in the first place? The original post said the original words are "harmful" and that she's glad they changed the words for that reason.
but how is that less offensive? Whats wrong with being tall?
When you see his picture at the end of the video and he smiles, he's just an ordinary kid. His achievement in this role is amazing. He fearlessly attacked this role. He was determined to not be unfavorably compared to the animated film. Bravo young man.
Please pursue a career in musical theater and get the best education possible. And...never lose that chutzpah!
Bro the dick-riding is crazy 🙄
So that's how chutzpah is spelled.
Love the Yiddish
chutzpah!
Now now, careful not to lose that *_zhuzh_* either.
As a young guy who was told I couldn’t even audition with songs traditionally sung by women, I’m so happy for him. He’s absolutely killing it! He’s going places
The fact that this 13 year old BOY actually accepted and nailed the role surprised me
@@vaGAYbond. he’s 13 here, allow him to develop a bit more jeez😭 (update i now realise this video is 3 years old, i’m sorry about that 😭😭)
@@vaGAYbond. totally fair lmao
OMG!!! This kid has a powerful voice. He owns that role. His expressions, his movements, his eyes, his fearlessness, are doing all the acting like a professional.
Ursula: I'm not asking for much. Only..... Your voice...
Ariel: But if you take my voice, how will I be able to-
Ursula: You'll have your looks, your pretty face. And don't underestimate the importance of BODY LANGUAGE!
Thate part is ICONIC...
She’s not lying either.
Yeah this kids got it.... Such a natural
As I’ve always said - the role of the sea witch should only be played by drag queens.
I agree!
Ursula was based of a drag queen
@@olivinetonnsen2630 who?
Highkey yes but we can’t ignore it’s also a valid role for bigger black singers.
My mother played Ursula for a play in my elementary school
The Power in the Voice. Oh yea I see you
im a 13 yr old male auditioning for ursula this year. he killed this, if only i had this confidence
95% of being confident when you don’t feel confident is faking it. ❤️
OMG YOUR PFP
Good luck bro!
Did you get the role?? If not, it's okay!! I'm sure you did great!!
Did you get the part?
CHILLS, I TELL YOU
THIS KID IS SO FRICKING TALENTED WTF
What does his parents do? Musicians? How is this child so talented??? Lots of practice too of course! Congratulations Apollo!!
Bruh I can't with "Body Language!!!" It was so good 😂
I expect to see this boy on Broadway when he grows up cause DAMN SON
Me as a kid trying to convince myself I wasn’t gay as I laced up my corset for my debut performance...
His voice is so powerful with the mid Atlantic tone.
13?!? 😮 He looks and sounds like he’s in his young 20’s or late teens!! Amazing
Ikr
20s??? what kind of 13 yrold have you seen??
@@Whatareevenbirds I think he looks 13 13
If he was in his 20s he wouldn't be able to bring his voice to that octive. It'll be too deep
@@ILovePanta123 As a teenager who used to sing like that (But not as good) I can confirm that is true
AMAZING job!!! You performed this song WAYYY better than most adults. I had chills. Don’t ever stop singing! 🎶🎉
Qetiiryb
You must be drunk then.
@@josephcook6442 🤨
@@josephcook6442 oh you must’ve been one of those background people and you’re just jealous
@@lafayette6048 hey la baguette you are my favourite character 🥰
And now a days he would be protested by hate groups claiming to care about children
Lets just enjoy the video instead of talking nonsense 💖
this has got to be the most impressive middle school production i've ever seen
It’s funny how the same people saying “we need to protect the children!!” Are the same people hating and bullying a 13 year old boy.
1:50 holy shit he really did put it all on his interpretation he changed the tone of his voice so effortlessly 😦
Oh god, this is the best performance of "unfortunate souls". I've seen several adult performers and honestly??? The emotion and strength in his voice is so strong, it's not bland like I've seen with every other performance, he hits those notes on point. He's really the life of this performance. I love it. Keep going and don't let anyone stop you.
BRO ATE THAT UP
I am obsessed. His voice, his movements, everything. The wiggle in the voice is hard to master and yet he did. This kid is going places.
that wiggle is called vibrato
@@pickledfur I know this now that I’ve taken up more musical education !! Thank you :]
@@The-Vixenator-3000 :3
OMG He's 13 WOW!! To be that good of a performer at 13 is amazing, his characterisation is brilliant
I want that dress omg
Please put this boy on broadway when he's older
I played Ursula at this exact age, and I am so inspired by your beautiful performance! Apollo YOU ARE AMAZING! Wonderful job. I see a bright future ahead of you!
One of the best Ursulas I've seen.
That amazing voice came out of 13 year old?! 😲 When I was 13, I dreamed I could hit those notes! You, Apollo have a very bright future in Broadway! I can see it! 👍👍❤️️
The comments from 2 years ago : "he's so talented!" The new comments " ewww a boy dressed as a girrrllll!!!"""""
FRR
I LOVE that he kinda sound like jade in victorious ( when sarcasm is implied )
This kid is too good for this production. Holy crap.
That confidence from a 13-year old, I'm both shocked and absolutely in love - I really hope I can say one day that I knew he'd become a broadway actor all along
Dam he good at not just Acting but his impression of Ursula and he’s dancing also his really good girl voice
oh my GOD! You are incredible. I wish I was that skilled at singing at 13! absolutely nuts.
Proof that children can do amazing things when they are supported and allowed to nurture their talents and gifts!
He takes the already iconic character Ursula to a whole new level of gods. He had so much and an amazing voice. Never stop singing
That makeup is criminal for how good he is
This boy is talented . Yaaas keep going
This kid is gonna make it, by golly
I see a future drag queen or professional theater man in this boys future ✨
13 WITH A GODDESS VOICE?? HOW
his voice is to die for 😭
I love this! Im so glad i grew up with a musical teacher that allowed opposite genders to play the gender of the character. I have a friend who didnt grow up with this, and im so greatful i did. I tried out for Jafar, got cast as it, and im a girl!
I’m so proud of you.
This kid is amazing, he’s gonna go places. The body language part kills me every time.❤
This kid really flexed on everyone in that play and I’m all for it
i wish the boys in my grade were so confident as to do this, and that they wouldn’t get put down and bullied for it
This is the best middle finger to Ron DeSantis I can think of.
I love how the guy is playing ursula, and the girls are playing the eels, they really focused on the talent
Kids seemed like they’ve got incredible natural talent that’s been refined down with training. If they haven’t had training, my god, that’s even more shocking.
imagine someone asked you what you were in the play and you said a tentacle
He hit the body language line in a way only a teenage boy could and I love it
Nah Ursula doesn't need Ariel's voice 💀
Not only does he act very well, his range and voice is very well trained! Let’s hope puberty doesn’t hit him like abus
YES! THAT is a performer! Well done!
I'm an adult and I wish I had half this kid's confidence. He's spectacular as Ursula! I hope he goes into a career in theatre because he is very talented.
This kid is AMAZING! Not only does he have the vocals, but he knows how and when to change them so that he’s not just reciting lines, but telling a compelling story.
He ate
This kid’s got pipes!
"You have you voice"
"✨your pretty face✨"
Boy he can sing-
This kid is a great talent. Someone sign him immediately!
Broadway. Hollywood. Please… cast. This. TALENT!
Good for him! What a hero.
he's 16 today!
No because he's better even than some adult
The body language killed me man😂😂
This dude has such villainous gravitas and growl to his singing voice 😳 and at 13 no less! He fits the part
He sounds like he's speaking in a posh British accent
he crushed this role!!!
best actor in that whole darn play
Hey Appolo, that was great. You have not only a fantastic voice you are also a talented actor. Go your own way boy. Nobody can overtake you there.
DAMN. You keep this up dude an you'll be on Broadway. 10/10
The people who played the Eels deserved better like they were basically playing HAND PUPPETS 😭
That ain't a 13 yr old kid, that's a 13 yr old queen 👑
He is so good
Damn kid, you be winning Tony's here soon!!
HES SO TALENTED
Absolute chills from this performance! What an amazing voice!
He has a very bright career ahead of him. He's AMAZING !
So glad this was 3 years ago. If it was this year theyd be protesting
Damn this kid can sing 😧
Wow good for him a lot of people would judge or disapprove he still does it I’m very impressed by his bravery! Kids like him are going to run the world one day😊
I LOVE THIS, IT'S JUST GREAT!!! It is one of the best performances of Ursula that I have seen!!
Wow. Great job. Not sure why this was in my recommendations but I’m glad it was. I wish you all the success in life
No wonder he's called Apollo! He's blessed with amazing talent!
Now that's talent
This is why I love musicals and broadway
He's the actual Apollo, I swear
that VOICE omggg. The power.
I can already tell this kid is gonna have a GREAT FUTURE HE GENIUNLY RULED
This is not a kid actor. This is a broadway actor in a kid play. This is insane 👁 👄 👁!!!!
