honestly the mood and the tone that she set with this version is so unlike the films you can't even compare them side by side. she has a beautiful and hilarious cover that is very playful and teasing, while Ursula sounds more like she's trying to sound like the deal isn't really important to her when you can actually hear the desperation in her voice. I really can't decide witch one I like more, seriously they're both like totally different songs!!!!!
This is one of the more comedically entertaining versions I've seen. Most singers are very generic with it in a way that looks like they think they're being original, but Heidi really makes it unique. Love it.
Caroline Fletcher i actually got to meet her recently and she was so sweet and hilarious and swears SO much you would not believe it! she is really awesome and i wish you good luck in meeting her!
Well sort of I knew her from the original run of Freaky Friday where I saw it live and I knew she played ursula before it just never came to watch it until the disney channel boot for Freaky Friday happened
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch But you'll find that nowadays I've mended all my ways Repented, seen the light, and made a switch True? Yes And I fortunately know a little magic It's a talent that I always have possessed And here lately, please don't laugh I use it on behalf Of the miserable, lonely, and depressed pathetic Poor unfortunate souls In pain, in need This one longing to be thinner That one wants to get the girl And do I help them? Yes, indeed Those poor unfortunate souls So sad, so true They come flocking to my cauldron Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!" And I help them! Yes I do Now it's happened once or twice Someone couldn't pay the price And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals Yes I've had the odd complaint But on the whole I've been a saint To those poor unfortunate souls The men up there don't like a lot of blabber They think a girl who gossips is a bore! Yes on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word And after all dear, what is idle prattle for? Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation True gentlemen avoid it when they can But they dote and swoon and fawn On a lady who's withdrawn It's she who holds her tongue who get's a man Come on you poor unfortunate soul Go ahead! Make your choice ! I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day It won't cost much Just your voice! You poor unfortunate soul It's sad but true If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet You've got the pay the toll Take a gulp and take a breath And go ahead and sign the scroll Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys The boss is on a roll This poor unfortunate soul
My personal favorite version of “Poor Unfortunate Souls” will always be Pat Carroll’s rendition of the song from the original 1989 animated film because I’m a sucker for the original versions of most songs, in general, and I just prefer how Pat’s voice has an obviously evil, cunning, and sinister tone to it when she sings it. It makes the song sound much creepier. However, I really like Heidi Blickenstaff’s version of “Poor Unfortunate Souls,” too. She makes a much more comical, upbeat, and youthful sounding Ursula.
I love this song because it’s 50% singing and 50% performance. Each singer can make it their own and have their own take on it. All they have to do is have fun, dial the sass up to 300%, and let her rip!
Anybody else reminded of the Phantom of the Opera when she belts “make your choice!”? It reminds me of near the end of POTO when the Phantom is telling (yelling at) Christine to make her choice…
She's spectacular. Great talent and stage presence.
Claire Gratto soooo true
IKR
I’m your eighth sub
Heidi as Ursula is perfection. This version gives me life!

different in a good way
brianna cooper they should.
Semidecentdude I think that if they needed an Úrsula for the Little mermaid play if she auditioned, she’d get it😇
Ikr
M Camp She actually played Ursula on broadway 🤣 After the original actress Sherie Rene Scott left, Heidi replaced her.
This is one of the more comedically entertaining versions I've seen. Most singers are very generic with it in a way that looks like they think they're being original, but Heidi really makes it unique. Love it.
Amazing. And when she screamed "Come On", she really sounded like Ursula from the movie.
Scott McCoy not really
Yes
My mom did theatre with her, along with Audra McDonald when she was younger. I hope to meet her one day, being a fellow theatre person :)
+Caroline Fletcher I hear that, they both seem just as sweet and hilarious and cool as can be!
Caroline Fletcher i actually got to meet her recently and she was so sweet and hilarious and swears SO much you would not believe it! she is really awesome and i wish you good luck in meeting her!
slay mama
Awww they cut out my fav part of the song
“You’ve got your looks, your pretty face, and don’t forget the importance of BODY LANGUAGE HA!”
Probably my favorite version. Why is it NOT at the top of search results?!?! Took me forever to find it again…😡😡😡
God, her diction is perfect.. flawless!
That's theatre diction for ya
I did a villain smirk when I saw this on their channel
1:53 to 2:08 is my favorite moment, holy shit, it's incredible
I love her choices. They are very different from everyone else's. A totally new and interesting twist.
Her voice kinda squeeks when she inhales I guess thats because she has a really strong voice.
I just discovered her and I'm OBSESSED oh my God
I was not ready for this rendition
I love this. Lots of personality.
I know I shouldn't but damnit Heidi where do I sign?
muzec
the boss is on a roll is the best part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perfection :D absolute perfection!!
Heidi is perfect singing the Ursula's theme... I loved the raspy voice at 1:22 , pure charisma! 😍
I absolutely love this rendition
Wow. Mind blown. Such a flawless performance.
Who else just came from freaky Friday on disney channel and thought she was amazing then and looked at this and just said Wow:)
Me
Well sort of I knew her from the original run of Freaky Friday where I saw it live and I knew she played ursula before it just never came to watch it until the disney channel boot for Freaky Friday happened
Haylie Bartoo yesss
Haylie Bartoo after watching her in clips from the STAGE version of Freaky Friday?! She is AMAZING!!
Me
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
True? Yes
And I fortunately know a little magic
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And here lately, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, lonely, and depressed pathetic
Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
This one longing to be thinner
That one wants to get the girl
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Ursula, please!"
And I help them!
Yes I do
Now it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
Yes I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls
The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a girl who gossips is a bore!
Yes on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word
And after all dear, what is idle prattle for?
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True gentlemen avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a lady who's withdrawn
It's she who holds her tongue who get's a man
Come on you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead!
Make your choice !
I'm a very busy woman and I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your voice!
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad but true
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
You've got the pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll
Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys
The boss is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul
I like the lyrics

she adds the emotions and humor to this which is good
SHE IS WONDERFUL I LOVE HER

her voice is amazing
Flawless diction. Heard words I haven’t heard in any other version (I’ve watched like 20 others so far 😄🙈)
I can't help but imagine Ellie singing this in Katherine's body
She sounds so evil :D
BELTING QUEEN!
Love Heidi! But this is from the D23 Expo Broadway and Beyond concert, not the DVC cruise listed in the description.
She is sassy! I like it 😁
She’s amazing!! i had no clue she did broadway and I’m so glad i found this!!! so much talent!!!
Its good, but just not the same when you have an orchestra backing you up over the poor unfortunate panio
Damn, she has power.

It reminds me of near the end of POTO when the Phantom is telling (yelling at) Christine to make her choice…

When she said ‘true, yes’, she looked a little scary but I guess since she’s Ursula, it’s understandable.
