Why Jodi Benson won”t give Halle Bailey any advice
New Ariel actress Halle Bailey has been getting rave reviews in the role, despite a lot of controversy for being the first Black actress to portray Ariel.
Recently, 1989″s The Little Mermaid lead Jodi Benson, who voiced and sang in the iconic role, took to the red carpet of the new The Little Mermaid movie premiere, answering some questions regarding her successor. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Benson opens up about why she refused to give new actress Bailey any tips on becoming a Disney Princess — and taking on her role, no less.
Interviewer: Were you able to give Halle any advice on becoming a Disney Princess and embodying Ariel, or did you want her to just do her own —
Jodi Benson: She doesn”t need any advice from me, she”s brilliant!

Benson just seems absolutely thrilled with Bailey”s refreshing new take on the character, and doesn”t feel like she needs to give her any advice whatsoever! Bailey definitely seems like she”s taken all the legacy advice from Menken and potentially original lyricist, the late Howard Ashman, however — who was adamant that the singing style match the tone of the scenes. This was accomplished by asking the voice actors to deliberately not belt like they”re on stage — something Jodi Benson took on and executed flawlessly.
You can watch Disney”s official clip featuring Halle Bailey”s touching rendition of “Part of Your World” here:
