Release the full version now.
Did you have Alesha Dixon singing Stormzy in the style of a Disney Princess on your 2022 bingo card?
Well, the Britain’s Got Talent judge proved another hidden talent of hers when she appeared on Mo Gilligan’s new TV show, That’s My Jam.
A UK version of the hit US game show, That’s My Jam sees stars go head-to-head and mic-to-mic for five music-related rounds.
One round, called the Musical Genre Challenge, saw comedian Mo spin a wheel to decide which song the players must sing, and in which genre.
In bonkers scenes, pop star Alesha was tasked with performing Shut Up by the grime artist, but with a fairytale twist, which she predicted she’d be good at since she has two young daughters.
But Alesha blew everyone away when she took to the mic, rapping her way through Shut Up as if she were Elsa from Frozen or Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

Dressed not exactly in typical Disney princess style, wearing a black PVC mini dress, the Msis-Teeq star put on not only a posh accent, but also went all out with the gestures, truly embodying a princess.
But the lyrics coming out of her mouth definitely didn’t match the visuals, as she sang: ‘Man try say he’s better than me, tell my man, shut up. Mention my name in your tweets, oi, rudeboy, shut up.’
Alesha ended the performance by belting out a big high note, showcasing her incredible vocal talents.
‘That was sensational,’ Mo told Alesha. ‘I’ve got so many emotions!’

‘It’s a bit different from the usual rapping that I do,’ laughed the Scandalous hitmaker.
Viewers at home were left stunned by her performance, and in total shock that Stormzy sang in the style of a Disney Princess could ever work.
‘Petition for Alesha to release that Stormzy Disney Princess version in full’, one viewer tweeted.

‘I love this! Alesha doing Shut Up by Stormzy as a Disney princess is actually amazing’, wrote another.
One viewer was especially thankful for how That’s My Jam boosted their spirits straight after the Strictly Come Dancing final.
