Beyoncé Releases Her Single "Spirit" From THE LION KING Soundtrack; Will Curate A Companion Album For The Film

Ya know, I'm probably in the minority, but I wish Beyonce had nothing to do with this film. Her singing powers are not in dispute, but I've just been kind of repulsed by the trashy persona she's projected ever since she left Destiny's Child and got 'corrupted' by J-Z.
Here's another pet peeve of mine, if I my rant on just a little more.
With Black Panther, much ado was made about the black director, black cast. With Lion King, recasting for more black actors in lead roles. Fine.
Why didn't these films get actual African actors rather than American actors?
I've loved African music since I was a kid. Paul Simon's Graceland album introduced me to some great legit African vibes in the glorious "80s on an album that still holds up today.
I like Donald Glover for sure, because he's real and not terribly pretentious in how he promotes his stuff, but what if these movies cast actual Africans in the roles - especially Black Panther? I gotta say, it's kind of clear several of the actors playing Africans seem too obviously like Americans pretending to be Africans with less than convincing results, good as they may be at their job, excepting Suri and her brother.Try Djimon Honsou from Stargate, Gladiator, The Four Feathers. He coulda been a great T'Challa (although he's probably a tad old for the role now). Mind you, the T'Challa we got did the job pretty convincingly, I think.

Song? I agree with the above guy.
Woulda done better chaneling some more African, tribal sounds like Hans Zimmer's score on the original and The Power of One (LISTEN if ya like the Lion King soundtrack).
