Volume II of 'The Disney Family Singalong' featured a performance one of the greatest villain's songs ever: 'Poor Unfortunate Souls' by Ursula in 'The Little Mermaid'. But this time, the poor unfortunate soul appears to be Rebel Wilson, whose performance has left fans entirely dissatisfied.

The singalong is a way for families at home to take a break from the daily grind as they remain quarantined at home. As one user joked, "#DisneyFamilySingalong best part of my week and really reaffirms that celebrities are just like us, so bored that they’ll get on a zoom call with anyone #Disney #singalong."

Jokes aside, 'Poor Unfortunate Souls' is a fan-favoriteand many couldn't wait to sing along to it. And while some enjoyed tonight's performance, stating "Rebel Wilson is amazing! #DisneyFamilySingalong," viewers were largely unhappy.

One user stated, "Rebel Wilson needs to be in a live action Disney movie #DisneyFamilySingalong,another asked, "What Disney villain do you think she could do?" a viewer responded, "Definitely not Ursula."

"Rebel is not doing Poor Unfortunate Souls justice sis is just talking #DisneyFamilySingalong," tweeted one fan, while another said, "I'm sorry, but they shouldn't have Rebel Wilson sing Poor unfortunate souls. It was so lacking.. #DisneySingalong."

One viewer stated, "#DisneyFamilySingalong I guess I'm just glad Rebel Wilson wasn't cast as live-action Ursula for the new Litle Mermaid," along with a gif that read, "This doesn't work for me."

"If Rebel Wilson is Ursula in the little mermaid movie I will not be watching lol please do right Disney," stated one viewer, and another tweeted, "Rebel Wilson singing Poor Unfortunate Souls #DisneyFamilySingalong" along with a gif that read, "Volume: Mute."

One unhappy viewer said, "Rebel Wilson is not a good fit for Poor Unfortunate Souls. Not here for that. #DisneySingalong," one stated, "Rebel Wilson singing Poor Unfortunate Souls is a no from me," and one tweeted, "Rebel wilson singing poor unfortunate souls was not it."

"Rebel Wilson shouldn’t have done that," said one viewer, while another asked, "....Why is Rebel Wilson a thing again?" And one wondered, "Why do we keep letting Rebel Wilson sing? #DisneySingalong."

One viewer pointed out, "Ryan Seacrest just described Rebel Wilson singing Poor Unfortunate Souls as “Chilling”..." and another asked, "I love Rebel Wilson, but umm... was Lizzo busy? #DisneySingalong."
