"A Whole New World" was featured in the soundtrack for the Disney Movie Aladdin in 1992.Performed by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle. The Original version was sung by Brad Kane and Lea Salonga in the actual film and won best song at the 65th Academy Awards. This is truly still such a beautiful tune, and Peabo Bryson has an exceptional tone to his voice , I love this man.
It really takes me back to when I was a chunky 10 year old.Wait a sec, in 1992 I was 12, oh wait I'm getting confused with " Beauty and the Beast " which came out in 1991. Yes now I remember I was 10 going on 11 and I took all my friends for lunch at "Wimpy" - a fastfood/restaurant in Joburg , the food there is amazing and when I went back to SA on holiday I had the best burger and chips ever ,ooh and their milkshakes are so good( not like the dollhouse( another eating place in Joburg)) . You know you get those proper real milk shakes not these thin milk shakes they give you in Australia( no offence). Sorry but they don't have a clue how to make a milk shake, even when they say it's called a thick shake, they can't even make those either. Like seriously, 2 of my friends came over to Sydney and we went to a cafe in the city and they ordered what we all thought was a proper " Milkshake" because of course we are used to the good life and in my opinion the best food in the world. So how could they do that to us? It was injustice, right there in front of our very own eyes was this glass with milk that had a brown tinge to it with a blob of icecream dropped at the top. Like seriously, are you serious? Well I am serious and I take my beverages very seriously. I had to offer my one friend to come over to my place for a nightcap to make up for it. Well not really that's a bit farfetched as she's a big bison ( you know who you are) and she'd eat me out of house and home( or house and hotel).Lucky I didn't know her when I was 10 or 12 cause we would have had to have a meal for the larger ladeh sorted for her plus I would have been even more chunky back then.
Ok so where exactly am I going with this I went off on a tangent. So back in the day after "Wimpy" ( remember that name) we went to see "Beauty and the Beast" after. Actually I'm not sure if it was 10 going on 11 or 11 going on 12 that I went to see "Aladdin" or "Beauty and the Beast". I'm sure it was "Aladdin". Okay lets just say it was Aladdin( which I think it was), that means I was 11 going on 12. Is that too old to go see an animation? Point is one always made me think of the other. I think that the song "Beauty and the Beast" from "Beauty and the Beast" sounds the same as " A Whole New World" I mean they do sound similar not exactly though. Anyway my point is they are brilliant, brilliant songs. So Beauty and the Beast was performed by Miss( Mrs) Celine Dion and again Peabo Bryson .What an unbelievable duet, what an incredible duet. It just gives me shivers. She is exceptional, I always loved Celine Dion and their voices together just make magic! I'll probably post one or thrice of her songs later..
It was so difficult to get the original "Beauty and the Beast" music video but I got what I could , so enjoy both...
