Rene Auberjonois is no longer with us and i think it might break my heart to hear someone else sing it

This is Fathoms Below erasure and I won't stand for it.

Why hire actors that can sing (Simone) and then not have them (her) sing Daughters of Triton?

SUCH A WASTE!!! I really hope she gets to sing somewhere in the movie!

It doesn’t really matter here because we all know there is singing, but otherwise it’s weird to wait that long in a movie for the first song; it throws people off (especially non-musical loving people)

Trying to build up to Part of Your World is stupid when they have her performing the song in full and releasing it on YT....

I questioned that...I guess they wanted to bring in the fans but to release probably the most famous/beloved song out of context from the film and spoil the anticipation ahead of time is just weird to me.
