    What not too many people know is that Jennifer started her career singing this EXACT song in the shows on Disney Cruise Line, so this I’m sure was such a full circle moment and she KILLED IT.

    You’ve got these outrageously talented performers and then they throw a ten year old on stage who doesn’t know stage direction, the choreography and can’t sing on tune or with any quality to her voice. Forget the lion; MONEY is king here. Sad for all the professional performers who worked their butts off to get to this point only to share the stage with a kid whose parents bought her place on stage. There was no reason for ‘stunt casting’ either since this is already a star studded event. Kim and Kanye should be ashamed of themselves.

      I wouldn't say she was robbed. Jennifer Hudson is a world-renowned singer and was added as a special guest to help boost the promotion of this event. She also sang this song 20 years ago, as a finalist on American Idol. Sir Elton was blown away by her rendition of it. I do, however, think that Disney could've perhaps had them sing it together as a duet. That would've also been special.
