Recently, the pair appeared on ABC’s Disney Family Singalong: Volume II, singing “Almost There.” The sisters were joined by Broadway star Anika Noni Rose, who played Princess Tiana in the Disney hit movie, The Princess and The Frog.

As we all know, Halle Bailey is about to join the ranks of Disney princesses as she was cast as Ariel in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. 

When the news broke about the casting, unfortunately, there was a lot of negative backlash, but Halle stood tall and proud, eloquently commenting in a statement, “I feel like I’m dreaming and I’m just grateful and I don’t pay attention to the negativity. I just feel like this role was something bigger than me and greater and it’s going to be beautiful. I’m just so excited to be a part of it.”

We cannot wait to see the duo perform tonight! And, we cannot wait to see the The Little Mermaid. Congratulations to Chloe X Halle on all of their outstanding success this year and to the Spelman College Class of 2020, hats off to you…you did your thing!
