‘Nightmare': Simple flight act leaves social media divided

Frustrated frequent flyers didn't quite get a fairytale ending.
Travelling with kids can be a challenge, but for some, being stuck on a delayed flight with a kid singing Disney songs through the aircraft's intercom is torture worse than violent turbulence.
A flight, which was delayed by two hours, before being forced to circle Orlando for an additional two hours, has gone viral after Brazil-based content creator Romeu shared the clip of the tween's performance of How Far I'll Go from the Disney film Moana.
While plenty of people were prasing the sweet scenes, there were plenty more who appeared to believe it was a fate worse than death.
'This would send me over the edge,' one person commented beneath the trending clip.
Video of the chaos has scored more than 1.8 million TikTok views.
The viral visuals, shared by Romeu, a Brazil-based content creator, featured the tween's controversial crooning on the flight — which was delayed by two hours and then was forced to circle Orlando for two additional hours before landing.
'This is actually my worst nightmare and personal hell,' an equally unimpressed onlooker ranted, referring to the little princess's impromptu performance.
'I would cry tears of anger,' wrote another.
'Absolutely zero hate to this girl but major side-eye to her parents,' a separate naysayer said. 'Even if it were a professional singer, I do not want to be subjected to a concert without consent.'
When on a flight, folks barely want to hear you speak.
Bobbi Storm, 36, a Grammy-nominated gospel singer, was nearly booted off a 2023 Delta flight when she refused to stop performing her new single — which she insisted was just her 'doing what the Lord is telling me to do.'
And Taylor Swift fanatics irked a plane-full of peeved people with their rendition of the pop star's Bad Blood during a Southwest Airlines flight out of Colorado that same year. Footage of the ill-fated singalong scared up 1.7 million TikTok views from annoyed online audiences.
'I would have to ask to be put on a different plane,' one commenter crowed. 'I just wanna fly, not listen to a bunch of women sing.'
But when it came to the mini Moana wannabe on Romeu's Orlando flight, a handful of cyber spectators did indeed appreciate the gal's sweet sounds.
'She's actually really good!!!!' wrote an emphatic fan.
'I think it's cute considering it's a flight to Orlando,' another agreed. 'Probably full of kids anxious to get to Disney.'
'I would've sung with her,' added a supporter. 'I love Moana.'
