#Can Will Smith's 'Aladdin' Genie compete with Robin Williams's? 'Prince Ali' clip divides fans

Disney has released a clip of Will Smith's Genie singing "Prince Ali" from Aladdin, and not everyone is feeling the magic. Adapted from the original animated film, the song takes place after Aladdin asks Genie to make him a prince, so that the poor thief can better woo Princess Jasmine. Genie conjures up a grand entrance for the phony prince "Ali Ababwa," introducing him to the citizens of Agrabah with a lavish parade. In the 1992 movie, the song is a huge, energetic production number, with Robin Williams's Genie shape-shifting and performing magic tricks throughout. Guy Ritchie's live-action version is shot more like a straightforward music video, and while some fans are ready to genuflect and show some respect, others seem extremely underwhelmed.

ALWAYS A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS

Many have been so broken, to the extend they see everything about life as dark. Some have even lost the hope of anything good in life. So take life as "Nothing good comes out of it". Verse versa, So many good people have spent their entire life tagging some others as total darkness, but No, there is nothing of such as total darkness, there is always a light in every darkness, waiting to shine, but it needs more attention to do that. Remember, " more charging time is to power the brightness of the touch" the moment you stop charging, then gradually it goes brim and finally dies off. So have we failed to help some people let their light shine by casting them out, not giving a single chance to them.
