While speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Brown and Bathe raved about Halle Bailey's performance at "The Little Mermaid," who was just beside them for an interview.

"She's lovely," Brown gushed. "She represented so well for us. I mean, we were streaming tears at the end of it because you were beautiful. Your soul is beautiful, your talent was radiant."

Bailey was surely touched and was moved by emotions.

"If you had done it and you were bad, nobody would be messing. But you killed it!" Brown joked, before reenacting Bailey's "Part of Your World."

In the past, Bailey was heavily criticized for her casting as Ariel in "The Little Mermaid." Bathe talked about that in their endearing interaction.

"You don't understand, I watched that movie every single day from the age of like 12 to 16," a visibly moved Bathe confessed. "I didn't think I'd see us. And not only was it us, it was so you. You brought you and then you brought us in bringing you. It was unspeakable joy for me."
