Ursula doenst have to be white. A black Ursula would be hot!
The new songs for TLM - (to me at least) dont add a lot of new elements, just play off of the scenes that never had songs to begin with. - but I am not a TLM expert so some of these songs could have been cut from the films conception? I am not sure.
Ursula is given a number called "Wasting Away" the Eels adding as Back-Up.
Skuttle has a song with a seagull chorus called "Human Stuff." He is also given a song called "Posituvity" which plays on his real lack of human knowledge. Its cute.. and some great word play... Both are up beat - side-step kinda numbers.
Triton is given a song called "That World Above" warning Ariel of the dangers in the human world.
Eric has a song about "Her Voice" -pretty self explanitory.
The Eels have a song called "Sweet Child"... luring Ariel to Ursula.
Some of the songs melodys are based on TLMs original score...
for example when Ariel is Human (in the movie) she has a sweeping underscore which plays in the palace and in her room.. well that melody has been turned into "my wildest dreams" where Ariel sings about her new life as a human.
There is a song called "If Only" where Ariel sings to Eric however Eric hears nothing because (obviously) she cant talk.
I am not sure the staging of this scene. I assume Eric is just obliviant to her singing, an not that her vocals are pre-recorded. Eric adds vocals hear aswell. -Its a sweet song.
A reprise of "If Only" is sung by Sebastian.. saying If Eric only knew she was Ariel the girls who sings.
The "Poor Unfortunate Souls- reprise" is sung by Ursula right before turns into a human. - this is my favorite scene in the movie because i love Urusula's human character design. (I wonder if two actresses will play hUrsula.)
"All Good things Must End" is also song Urusla to Ariel about her time being through... so obviously you can see how big a part Urusula has in this rendition.
The Finale song... is sung by Ariel (in mermaid form) and wants to be with Eric.
I beleive she becomes human... where a reprise of "Part of your world is song"
The songs seem to mesh well with the songs we all know "Kiss the Girl" "Under the Sea."
These songs are all very Disney... and remind me of a lot of "Beauty and the Beast" - especially the song "Something There."
"Zac is sweet as can be. He's very much just a sweet kid from California who happens to have a face that looks like it was drawn by Michelangelo, (if Michelangelo did anime)."

"Celebrating a birthday this week: Rene Descartes is 412! Do you know who he is? Then why are you watching this show? You could probably get into college and even get one of those job things. As for the rest of us; Amanda Bynes is 22! Yay!"
