With anticipation building for Disney’s live action remake of their classic animated film ‘Beauty and the Beast’ (in theaters March 17), a lens is being placed on its title track revamped by Ariana Grande and John Legend.
Big shoes to fill for Legend and Grande as the tune’s original version sung by Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson not only made a huge splash on the Hot 100, but also earned an Academy Award.
Fans keen to find out if they did the soaring number justice are invited to their first full listen inside. Be our guest…
While Ariana and John sound heavenly together, why does the instrumental track sound like some karaoke sh*t? Yeah, we’ll forever prefer the Celine and Peabo version to this, we must give credit where it is due.
The pairing, though odd, sound great and makes us wonder how they’d fare on an original ballad.
Your thoughts?

Cute. I prefer Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson’s version though! Besides, I’ve seen the entire movie just from the trailer.
Give me the original any day. John was ok, but they could’ve chosen someone with more soul other than Ariana. When will people get it. Just because you have a big voice doesn’t mean you how to use it.
Really liked the trailer version. They can both sing, and that was the focus. But this production sounds incredibly cheap, like a karaoke version. While it could never be timeless, it could have been great.
Beautiful gowns lol
Lmfao!
I’ve expressed my disappointment over this rendition already.
To each their own.
Omg this is horrible!
Child Boo! Dey could have kept this hot aśś mess!!! Sounded like a drunk karaoke night ???
Truth tea lol

Now come on y’all! Y’all know this s*** is whack!
John sound like a goat
Ari sound high
And music sound like an midi file
What did Disney run out of money and did dis on day phone? Lmao!!!!!
I’m gone tell Ariana “this duet is a no sis” next time I see her at the donut shop
We love Celine’s version more dahhling!
Grande Taco Mas Double Decker did great, John No One’s Legend sounded a mess. Dat mouse told Ari to ENUNCIATE! But forgot to tell Johnny boy the same thing.
Just gonna throw this out there: She’s Italian, not Mexican.
Never said she was Mexican. Move along now. 🙂
They made a classic sound like a Christmas jingle. Horrid Production.
Lets be real. The vocal trinity are untouchable.
Yaaaas! lol
Celine Dion dahhhhling, Celine Dion….
We love Celine!
While I do not like this version, it does however fits the target audience yet it does not fit the film.
I’m sure there’s more than one version. This is clearly the Radio Disney version.
Nope, go on iTunes, the soundtrack playlist is up. There’s this version and the movie version. What you hear is what you’re getting.
This sounds a mess!!
It’s a no for me.
The original still reigns supreme!!!
Lets be real. The vocal trinity are untouchable.
Ariana is very lucky she has a nice voice cos of it she’s been getting many great opputunitys . Shame she doesn’t really make them most of it
THIS IS TERRIBLE! The production, the phrasing, the uneventful arrangement! NERP NERP NERP!
Hunny where is Hans Zimmerman for the score? This is some foo foo…
Hans Zimmer is amazing!!!! My favorite scores ever are by him.
I just want to hear the new song Celine mutherfucking Dion has recorded for this cheap version of a movie that won´t make any impact (as all the current live action versions of the animated classics).
