"Aladdin" character who sings "Friend Like Me" (5)

I believe the answer is:

genie

(Other definitions for genie that I've seen before include "Helpful (?) spirit" , "Arabian goblin with magic powers" , "means of wishfulfilment" , "Spirit with the power to grant wishes" , "Arabian spirit as in Aladdin's lamp" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
