Paloma Faith criticizes Little Mermaid

It looks like Paloma Faith was not happy with the new movie Little Mermaid.

The singer shared her opinion on what she really felt about the new Disney remake of a movie featuring Halle Bailey as Ariel and Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric. In the movie, Ariel, a mermaid, falls in love with the prince.

The 41-year-old British singer wrote in a since-deleted post,

“Just seen [sic] the new little mermaid with my kids and while I think Halle gives a good performance and it’s great casting, as a mother of girls I don’t want my kids to think it’s ok to give up your entire voice and your powers to love a man,”
“Wtf is this s–t? Not what I want to be teaching next gen women at all.”

Fans who watched the movie were not happy with the Only Love Can Hurt Like This songstress’ review. It prompted many of them to question if she had actually seen the original film which was released in 1989.

One fan wrote,

“Has she not seen the original? Why would you take your child to a movie without knowing the description esp when the movie was a previously cartoon… it feels like her issue is something else,”

Another added,

“it’s literally the same as the original girl,”

A third fan asked,

“Was she not aware of the plot before she bought a ticket? This isn’t a new movie.”

Other viewers noted that Faith’s perception of the movie was wrong as she gave up her voice to be a human and not for a man.

One person tweeted,

“arielle literally sings ‘part of your world’ before she even knows the prince exists. the original movie already had a strong independent woman message,”

A second wrote,
