Hive Open Mic 186 | "Part of Your World" from "The Little Mermaid" by Halle Bailey
Hello everyone, Happy Hive Open Mic 186: Cinema.
The theme for this week was amazing and fun, I couldn’t resist participating. When I read the announcement post and understood the assignment, it was difficult choosing one particular song to settle on.

Right off the bat, I knew whatever I chose was going to be an animation. The first animated movie that came to mind was my favorite of all time, “Storks”. I’m not sure if it’s a Disney movie but it was released several years ago.
I tried looking for reenact-able tracks in it, but I couldn’t find one. So I checked out “Encanto”; so many excellent and engaging tracks right here. But none of the pitches matched mine.
I then checked “Moana”, magnificent songs but very hard to cover because there were a lot of voices and singers in the song. I think I checked out “Coco” as well, the song was too short.
I finally browsed through “The Little Mermaid”. Technically, the most recent edition wasn’t an animation but I absolutely loved the song, Halle did a phenomenal job. And since she is someone I look up to in the music industry, I decided to try out this piece.
It definitely wasn’t easy, but I came up with this as the result. I sincerely hope you enjoy the cover. I’ll drop the lyrics down below, in case you want to sing along.
Lyrics
Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Lookin' around here, you'd think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs?
I got twenty
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin'
Walking around on those, what do you call 'em?
Oh, feet
Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' along down a
What's that word again?
Street
Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free, wish I could be
Part of that world
What would I give if I could live out of these waters?
What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?
Bet'cha on land they understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women, sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand
Ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it, what's the word?
Burn?
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that shore up above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world Source

I love your voice Zita 😩😍
So unique and calming or is it the songs you choose to sing? 😃
In any case, the songs are perfect in your voice and this is no exception.
I love the freestyle in the song that you didn't overlook, you did all of it 💯
Nothing to tip you again o, you're doing amazingly well... Maybe learning the lyrics of songs better before presentation is what you should do. It is what most of us should do hehe, it shows more professionalism when we do.
Thank you so much Merit.
I get what you're saying, I will learn the lyrics perfectly next time.
I appreciate the advice. Thanks for stopping by and listening and fir the compliments as well!
Have a great weekend!
Yeah, you're very much welcome dear 😊
I have seen this movie and I don't know if I can tell your voice and Halle's apart.
This cover is so beautiful. You have a beautiful voice and you presented the song so well.
Well Done !
Awwwwnnnn😅😅. Thank you for saying this. I appreciate the compliment..
I love her voice so I tried t0 imitate it.
Thanks for stopping by and listening, have a great weekend!
Wow!
You blew my mind Zita, you also do voice over apart from singing, talent full hive sha, I enjoyed every bit of your presentation ❤❤
Thank you Glory🥰🤗🤗
I did the voice over because If I sang straight up in the video, my voice wouldn't have come out well.
Thanks for stopping by and have an amazing weekend!
I watched this movie for the first time a few weeks ago, and I remember to an extent how the song goes.
But your voice is so lovely.... And why did you say it doesn't come close to the original singer's voice?
Mehn you're good.. Those theatre kind of voice....and you sounded professional as well.
You're a star. Well done...I am glad I listened to you today, it is the first time actually.
Awwn thank you🥰🥰
Your comment has literally made my whole day.
Hopefully it won't be the last. I only recently started participating actively last week.
Thank you so much for stopping by and listening. I really appreciate Jessica🤗
That's great.
Well done, it's my pleasure.
Did you sing it in your own voice? I m amazed ..
Oh I just rewatched and heard your disclaimer hehe
Would love to hear this song in your voice tho.
I sang it with my voice, I recorded the audio and video separately.
Why would I lipsync someone else's voice😂. It's not right now
Sorry I asked. I need to justify how amazed I was hehe. So cooool.
Of course I sang it in my own voice😅
You are a very great singer Z. Congrats
Thank you
One of the best movie songs, hands down. I would love to sing it even though I'm a man hahaha, but its melody is divine. Your pianos are very sweet, and that air sounds like subtle embellishments. Very nice your entry my friend, thank you for your excellence...
Awwnn, thank you very much dear. This will have me smiling for days.
I'm glad you enjoyed my performance.
Have a great week ahead
