Singing stars Tori Kelly, Jessie J and
Kelsea Ballerini lend their voices to some of the most popular and
beloved melodies in the Disney songbook when the Disneyland Resort
Diamond Celebration is showcased on THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY:
DISNEYLAND 60, with Master of Ceremonies Derek Hough, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY
21 (8:00-10:00 p.m. EST), on the ABC Television Network.
Tori Kelly, 2016 Grammy nominee for Best New Artist, pairs with Kermit
the Frog for a beautiful acoustic rendition of "The Rainbow Connection"
from "The Muppet Movie." Versatile singing artist and Grammy nominee
Jessie J will sing the iconic tune "When You Wish Upon a Star" from the
classic Disney movie "Pinnochio." Country's rising female artist Kelsea
Ballerini will be showcased singing "Part of Your World" from the Disney
hit film "Little Mermaid." Young dance phenomenon Maddie Ziegler, known
to millions for her appearances on "Dance Moms," will be featured in
Ballerini's musical number, with choreography by Travis Wall.
Kelly, who will launch an extensive North American tour in April in
support of her Capitol Records' debut album, "Unbreakable Smile," marks
her evolution from Internet sensation to "It girl" - a journey which
took years of effort to achieve. The re-release of her album on January
29th includes current single "Hollow" and never-before-heard track
"Something Beautiful". Her sweet, soaring voice has garnered her over
120 million views on her Youtube channel.
Jessie J's astounding voice makes her a one-of-a-kind singing superstar.
The UK-born singer-songwriter released her "Sweet Talker"album in
October 2014 to immediate acclaim, debuting Top 10 on the Billboard 200.
It featured the blockbuster single "Bang, Bang," with Jessie J teaming
with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj.
Ballerini launched to stardom with the release of her number one,
gold-certified single debut, "Love Me Like You Mean It," and follow-up
top ten single "Dibs" - both from her Black River Entertainment debut
album, "The First Time," which landed Top Five on the Billboard Country
Albums Chart. Proclaimed by Billboard Magazine as "Country's Next
Queen," Ballerini received their "Rising Star" award at the prestigious
2015 Women in Music event.
Ziegler became an internet sensation in part, due to her starring in Sia's hit music video
trilogy. Additionally, she has performed artistic contemporary dance
routines on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "Dancing with the Stars," "Saturday
Night Live" and "The Grammys." She is quickly making a name for herself
as an aspiring actress with notable credits, including Freeform's
"Pretty Little Liars," "Austin & Ally" and the upcoming feature film
"The Book of Henry" opposite Naomi Watts. She also recently took home a
People's Choice Award.
Kermit the Frog, the world's most famous amphibian, has been
entertaining the planet for more than 60 years. A singer, dancer,
bestselling author and the star of many hit movies and TV shows, Kermit
currently serves as executive producer of "Up Late with Miss Piggy," as
seen in the ABC series "The Muppets."
Walt Disney's legacy lives on through the Disneyland Resort, but even he
might not have been able to imagine how big his idea would become at
Disneyland and at Disney parks that span the globe. He launched an
entirely new concept for family entertainment that remains as relevant
today as the day it opened, July 17, 1955, for guests of all ages.
The Disneyland Resort will continue its 60th Anniversary Diamond
Celebration through Summer 2016, extending the three spectacular
after-dark shows created for the special anniversary - the "Paint the
Night" parade, the immersive "Disneyland Forever" fireworks show and the
all-new "World of Color-Celebrate! The Wonderful World of Walt Disney."
The exciting celebration, which also features sparkling décor, themed
food and merchandise, will conclude on Labor Day, Monday, September 5,
2016.
"The Wonderful World of Disney: Disneyland 60" is a production of Den of Thieves (MTV Video Music Awards, American Idol, MTV
Movie Awards, Critics Choice Movie Awards, the Radio Disney Music
Awards). Jesse Ignjatovic and Evan Prager are the executive producers.
"The Wonderful World of Disney: Disneyland 60" is broadcast in 720
Progressive (720P), ABC's selected HDTV format, with 5.1 stereo surround
sound.
