Ari Lennox is putting in her bid to become the next Disney Princess.
On Monday (March 20), Lennox took to social media to showcase how her talents could be used for the rumored, live-action production of Disney’s The Princess and the Frog.
The Grammy-nominated artist posted a video of herself singing "Almost There," which was originally performed by Anika Noni Rose in the 2009 animated film.
“Hi @Disney I’m Ari Lennox and I would love an opportunity to audition for Princess and The Frog in person,” Lennox tweeted alongside the video.

She may have started something here w/ public auditions from our faves. Gives them some exposure, and could potentially help casting directors make better decisions on casting people who public audiences are endorsing that they’d want to see and boost box office potential.

I normally do not support live action remakes. But I am convinced. Make it happen. pic.twitter.com/XYOLXXHeC8
