- Breakaway Pop Hit: The Little Mermaid was met with
So Okay, It's Average responses (especially from fans of the Disney version who felt it was trying to fool people into thinking it was a live-action remake). However halfway through the movie, Drayton sings an "I Want" Song called "When This Story Ends" that has enjoyed great press on YouTube and Spotify - and gets more praise than the movie itself. Quite simply because people were not expecting her singing voice to be that beautiful.
