North West vs other The Lion King auditions

North West's performance as Young Simba in the Lion King has drawn criticism for 'taking the role away' from another actor.

While it's not clear who she was up against for the role, here is some footage from other actors' auditions, including some hoping to be on Broadway.

When celebrities think the world is their child’s recital venue

[luvrosii]

The first kid is so freaking talented he 100% deserved it.

[spacebar]

I feel so terrible for them. There are people that actually need this and deserve it.

1st boy came with the voice, 2nd boy came with the soul, 3rd boy came with the heart, and 4th boy came with the energy!!

[Heavenzvoice]

That first kid NAILED IT. On pitch and everything. Disgusting shame.

[lilacsilk]

the first kid was on broadway as simba, it’s showing the difference between a nepo baby and a kid who actually auditioned and was cast

[ayarriba]

I LOVE the first boy he nails the childlike wonder and naivety of Simba

[Nothingleftbutthetruth]

All of these boys would have been better options. Absolutely robbed.

[sstnks]

The last boy's energy is so adorable I hope he goes places

[maryannesullivan]

She did not deserve to be cast.. when there's so many hard-working talented kids that deserved it

[Sharpe]

The first little boy is so cute and the last little boy is gonna be a star. He’s got great energy and rhythm. Dude struck a pose right on the note.

[Yoshikage._.K]

The last boy did it with so much energy it was adorable😭

[coolbean]

Just because she’s famous doesn’t mean she automatically gets the part. Just because her mom would be so angry doesn’t mean she gets the part. She is NOT as talented as the rest of them.

The 1st boy slammed that out of the park.

[clairekwon]

Guys I think watching the auditions is better than watching the show 💀

[nikki]

Why do celebrities put their children out there to be dragged like this😟?

[allisonsilva]

Standing ovations to ACTUAL talent from those boys this should be shared times.

[Cateyes]

2nd boy has the most raw vocal talent and tone. 1st boy was great too. The last boy was great very talented.

[ncb]

That second boy brought beauty to those vocals. So much potential. All of them did really well 🥰

[c.t.]

Second boy with the vibrato and vocal control! He’s going to be amazing !
