First of all, the women singing hardly sound like the original princesses in the movies. Second, Disney's changed the odd lyric to fit whichever princess they've got singing (Jasmine gets "five emerald rings" on

Heh, I understand what you're saying. The whole industry Disney has built around its "princesses" kinda creeps me out.

The honest-to-god historical Pocahontas did convert to Christianity, though. :D And then went to England and died of smallpox or something. :(

Mmhmm. Also, I forgot to mention, they're giving the princesses cover credit instead of the singers. It's like they want people to think the princesses really exist. *sigh*

I wasn't sure, but I'd suspected as much. Smallpox included. ;) Doesn't make me any less annoyed, really. She shouldn't have had to convert, and I doubt she'd be feeling happy enough about it to be singing Christmas songs.
