Popsugar Entertainment The Little Mermaid Queen Latifah's "Poor Unfortunate Souls" Performance Video Queen Latifah Basically Slayed the Whole Ocean With Her "Poor Unfortunate Souls" Performance 6 November 2019 by Quinn Keaney Here's some news that probably won't surprise you in the least: Queen Latifah's performance of "Poor Unfortunate Souls" absolutely slaps. The legendary actress and singer hit the stage on Tuesday night during ABC's The Little Mermaid Live! dressed in a shiny black leather dress and matching purple tentacles, and belted out a particularly spirited rendition of the villainous anthem from the 1989 Disney film that would no doubt make the original Ursula proud. Watch her show-stopping moment above, and then keep scrolling to see what audiences thought of her vocals. (Spoiler alert: pretty much everyone is shaking.)
