The flight to Orlando was delayed by severe weather. To uplift the mood, a young girl decided to sing a song for the passengers.
A Delta Airlines flight from Florida unexpectedly turned into a concert when a young girl took over the plane's intercom to sing a song from Disney's hit movie Moana. The flight to Orlando was delayed by severe weather, spending two hours grounded and another two hours circling before landing.
Amid the passengers' frustration and discomfort, the girl's rendition of How Far I'll Go brought a moment of joy to some, but most remained frustrated. A video, first shared on TikTok, captures the child confidently singing on the flight crew's intercom system, with a few passengers joining in, while many others stayed silent, clearly unamused.

Of course, the video quickly went viral. The moment divided the internet, with passengers and viewers equally split in their responses.
'Flight got delayed, and this little girl won't stop singing Moana. Get me off this plane," a passenger posted.
Another added, 'This is actually my worst nightmare and personal hell."
A viewer wrote, 'She's on key and on tempo. It could be much, much worse."
'When your flight gets delayed by 2 hours and you circle Orlando for another 2… But then a little girl sings Moana on the crew mic, and suddenly everything feels okay," praised a social media user, applauding her talent.
An individual said, 'Oh, for crying out loud, they were on the ground for a two-hour delay. This child wanted to do something to cheer people up. It's cute and, more importantly, gave the other passengers a distraction from the boredom of sitting on the tarmac."
'I don't see anything wrong with this video. Cool kid showing her singing talent!" expressed a user.
A passenger who spoke with The Independent described the atmosphere onboard as 'hot" and 'packed." Reflecting on the girl's performance, she called the moment both sweet and awkward. 'All of a sudden a flight attendant shares with us that they have a sweet little girl that would love to share, or sing, a song with us. We were confused. And then she started singing. And I thought she was going to sing maybe like up until the chorus part, or end at the chorus, and then we were all going to go along our merry way. But no, she sang the whole song. There was some scattered applause. But it was also very uncomfortable," she said.
In a conversation with Newsweek, Delta Airlines responded to the incident. Noting the girl's efforts, they said, 'We appreciate the customer sharing her talents." The Airlines also apologised to the customers for the delay in their travels.
