i've always loved her as ursula since i saw this movie as a 9-10 year old her voice is just SO full of character. i LOVE actors with voices like that Vincent Price, Christoper Lee, HER - i mean i could listen to them for hours simply b/c their voice is just.. SO interesting

She was terrific in that role. I love imitating her delivery at the beginning of her big number: "The only way to get what you wantis to become humanyourselfmy dear, sweet childthat's what I
do
. It's what I
live for
" Wonderful! -

She was absolutely brilliant as Ursula. Scared the life out of me when I was a kid, like Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty.

My guess as to why she wanted the voice was because she loved to foil the deal in her favour to get what she wants. In most cases she double crosses her own deals to make her garden bigger.
In a deleted scene a character called Herman was tricked into a deal with Ursula for a certain flower thing which he didn't know wasn't in season and was thus turned into a plant thing when due time was up.
She uses the deal to use something of yours to foil you. Ariel's voice was her connection to Eric cos he heard/saw her singing to him just as he was waking up so Ursula uses this against Ariel. If she can't sing or use her voice she can't just say it was her or sing to Eric. But Ursula was using Ariel for a bigger plot, When the deal ended in Ursula's favour she would use her to get to Triton as we see in the film.
"Poor little Princess. It's not you i'm after. I've a much bigger fish to Fry!" she said to Ariel. She wanted Triton to ultimately trade himself in his daughter's place which then she can take his crown, his trident and his position which as we learned throughout the entire history of the Little Mermaid universe that is what she has always wanted. Her reason for being banished from the kingdom.
I hope y'all understand
