Yasss. Ni..i dont see jokes written but matty got some dark cher ry. ….. ………..made a son awww………he said he did not want a light yellow pink….he wamted datk black xherry juice
I just know the SOUNDTRACK better be EPIC, I used to own the original and it was okay compared to what I’m expecting from the 2019 version.
Y’all murh fukaz was soooo mean to the beautiful Whitney Houston the dead you motherfukers have a nerve to be kissing Beyonce’s and Mariah Carey’s ass Whitney Houston is the greatest singer of all time she had to kill herself ….. But yet Beyonce n mariah ..owwwwww…kiss kiss…..f*** them to.
Bey and Mariahs voices are far more appealing than Whitney’s voice IMO. Lighter and More sultry appealing makes them more commercially available as well, Far more technique and Range (Bey 4 Octaves… Mariah 5 Octaves) and Beys voice suits ANY and EVERY genre. They LOOK better too but Having Light Skin doesn’t hurt matters either if u know where I’m getting at. ?
To this day thoef beyoce and mental breakdown carey….still have not hit the notes and be long winded like Whitney …………… … the bodyguard the movie alone acting skills soundtrack shitsss on beyonce and the breakdown carey
I am so proud of her for even being considered for such a large role. Lion King is masterpiece and has impacted so many lives. 80s and 90s babies loved this. I used to watch this movie at least once a week. Awh man, those were the times: Lion King, Mulan, Little Mermaid, Toy Story& so many more. Disney>CN & Nick forever and always!
Disney has a huge calendar in 2019.
Ralph 2.0 in February, Dumbo in March, Aladdin in May, Toy Story 5 in June, Lion King in July. The kids are gonna be all over Frozen 2 in November.
Not counting Captain Marvel in March, Avengers in April and Spiderman in July. And Star Wars IX in December.
Plus a few other movies.
Bee was supposed to go for a African music theme for 4, in the vein of Grown Woman.
But she dropped the idea for a more traditionnal Urban Pop sound.
Apparently she asked in her contract to be the Executive Producer of the soundtrack but they also brought back the team from the original movie. And she worked with Elton John.
Very excited to hear it, I hope she will bring big vocals unlike her past 2 solo efforts (3 counting the joint album with Jay).
Bey better not f*** this one up…
Unfortunately the trailer was weak. Aladdin and Dumbo trailers were way better. Lion King is the most successful animated film ever so this was bound to happen though.
