Lea Salonga VS Original Singers - Disney SONG Battle
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лют 2019
- It's the 48th birthday of Disney legend Lea Salonga, who is not just the official singing voice of two Disney Princesses but has also covered many a Disney songs since time immemorial.
On this special day I decided to make this little 'Disney Song Battle' (another video series) in which I just compared her covers to the original singers of those particular songs.
In order to make the battle more fair, I added as many LIVE performances of the original singers as I could find (since ALL of Lea's covers are done LIVE)
The battle is divided into 11 rounds, which feature the following songs :-
1) When You Wish Upon A Star - Pinocchio
2) A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes - Cinderella
3) Someone's Waiting For You - The Rescuers
4) Part Of Your World - The Little Mermaid
5) Can You Feel The Love Tonight - The Lion King
6) Colors Of The Wind - Pocahontas
7) Go The Distance - Hercules
8) Journey To The Past - Anastasia
9) You'll Be In My Heart - Tarzan
10) The Climb - Hannah Montana The Movie
11) Let It Go - Frozen
My props to Lea for singing such a variety of songs and that too LIVE, she already has my respect. However, we're all still free to have preferences, and I'd love to know whom do you prefer in the following songs?

The 'Anastasia isn't Disney' squad PLEASE keep off 'cuz Disney is in its final stages of acquiring 20th Century Fox (which originally created Anastasia), hence, it IS INEVITABLY GOING TO BE A PART of the Disney family now. *MIC DROP*
Yesss

I'm pretty sure that Miss Lea Salonga is from Philippines...the land of talents
thankyou wow. we are so overwhelmed ^^ love from Phil
Your name shouldnt it be “LIAR”
Awh that's awesome cuz I live there
I'M FROM PHILIPPINES
Unique Corn 😂😂😂😂😂
Lea's crystal voice definitely suits on Disney movie songs...
But don't compare her renditions with the original singers...every song is remarkable for each original singers and also with Lea's Princess Jasmine and Mulan
👍
Someone said that we like the original more not because it's better but it's because we heard it first.
Yea. Kinda hard to say anybody is better than Elton John in singing Elton John songs...
Hercules, Anastasia, and (God forgive me Queen Idina) Elsa are my only exceptions to this but seriously you can’t pit Lea against even the most accomplished of singers. Disney uses different voices for a reason: character individuality
I agree. Our Lea is wonderful as always but the originals are also incredible.
When I was young boy I thought all Disney movie was sang by Lea he he he
ha ha ha, and are you now a young lady...
Me too😁
Same here
Me too hehehehe
Count me in
I would like her to sing Speechless, since she's the original Jasmine singer :)
Stephanie Kurisunkal yeeess
I agree!
yaaaasss
YESSS
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
There is no need to compare.. The Originals and Lea Salonga are great singers. Remember, Lea is also part of Disney’s theme song singers. She sang A whole New World in Aladdin and Reflection in Mulan. Every singer is unique and has a right song that fits their voice.
i agree. and those other singers were chosen for the song because it matches them and the part of the movie where the song will be played.
I agree with you
Why not change your title to "LEA SALONGA AND THE ORIGINALS."
👍
Correct!
I agree. Spread good vibes. No comparison, please.

If you hate competition, just get out of the arena and you'll live longer:)
There's a magic that old song has... like it brings you back to the time where it was first sang... makes me feel like I've lived before...
Same
Me too💕
Well said. Feel the same, especially that Pinocchio part.
Agree! I love Leah but there's something in the original singers that bring back memories when u hear it..
Clarity and diction is one of a kind. Even Regine Velasquez said that no other singer has a perfect pitch but her. She's a jewel.
diction as I Keep saying, is LEA's MAIN POWER, but she is a very intelligent woman.
she should cover speechless, after all she was the original jasmine
I just admire Lea's singing skills
And she's also well articulate ❤
Me too🤩
I'd say Lea has a gift that made her extra ordinary among the rest.. #Legendary 😍👍👍👍👍👍 I would acknowledge all original singers was good as they were..
graciousgirl_JEN A Leagendary
Well Said !!
Yes
Lea is Lea❗but i believe she did the very best of her version 👍👍💯💯💯 BRAVO 👏👏👏👏👏🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I agree with your opinion.
I am a big fan of her
*BRAVA
No comparison pls.... they are all great... thank u
maxtine rose chento agreed
👍
True.
there is always a comparison, that's why there's a word compare,,,,
👍👍👍
Lea is the queen of articulation and enunciation!!! Clarity thy name is Lea Salonga!!! 👍🎙🎶🎼🎵
😍😍😍
@@MS-xk7rd and wats this nonsense comment? LOL
AND diction is her MIDDLE NAME, her 1st talent is in COMMUNICATIONS, anyone in the Philippines can BELT out WHITNEY SONGS, but few can speak English with the proficiency of LEA SALONGA.
@@eduardochavacano the few percentage of their population you are not referring to are the ones who did not received a proper education or are from remote and rural areas. Filipino are known for their neutral accent in speaking the english language and are very fluent.
@@christevanns3059 I am familiar with the society, been to at least 40 provinces.
Am Filipino too, but just remove "vs.", coz it connotes a sense of competition. It is enough that Ms. Lea Salonga renders each song beautifully.
Correct
No comparison needed. There will be no cover without an original.
I agree!
Couldnt agree more
👍
Very well said...
Agree.
As much as I love Lea’s singing, it doesn’t feel right comparing her version to the orignials’.
Me too. Im a filipino
Lea is amaaaaazing, and she could probably sing whatever you throw at her, but the personal flair that each different voice and singer brings to the songs is what makes the magic imo. Judy khun gives me goosebumps and idina menzels power is just 😍😍😍
Idina just screams. Judy is the most powerful.
@@Ihdc1 well, its wonderful how every person has different views and opinions that not everybody has to agree with :)
Why do we compare when Lea is even one of the originals? She’s just really fond of singing those disney songs because after all, it’s her disney family’s legacies. I mean, we’re sure the other disney singers also sing her songs! Heheheh! Proud of this Filipino talent! What a treasure!
There is no comparison. They're all winners.
Did anyone wonder if lea salonga actually watched this video and was wondering 'man, i need to stop recreating these...its getting way too far'?
Disney songs are amazing because of the original singers. I can't imagine Jasmine and Mulan without Lea's voice. Thus each and everyone of the voices are treasures though it's always a joy to hear Lea's version. She's one phenomenal singer.
Lea is phenomenal!!!Lea is a gift to the Filipino people❤️ How I wish on my 25th wedding anniversary Lea will be our wedding singer🙏
Camila Escoto well all you gotta have is a lot of $$$ and a connection
Alexandra I know! Kaya wish na lang🥴. But I tell you, she will always be my forever favorite🌸
Lea Salonga is The Ultimate And the Only Broadway Diva of All time. ❤️
The phil collin's you'll be in my heart always give me chills . Judy khun's version and grammy winning VanessaWilliam's colors of the wind also amazin
Lea is the queen of PRONUNCIATION, DICTION, ARTICULATION, CONVICTION and EMOTION 😍
She has the most consistent voice, i love it. Lea is a true princess
I think with due respect to the original performer, Lea will not and never compare herself even if she sang it well. It is the audiences who make comparison.
Lea Salonga deserves her "A whole new world" song
I was shocked when i learned that the original singer of mulan is Lea Salonga 😍😍😍
Same! No wonder she named as Disney Legend
And alladin,whole new world
And so was Jasmine in Alladin!
Same
@Ramon Manabat Just cause he's of German descent doesn't mean he's a Nazi in fact I just looked it up and it said that it was a rumor that got spread after he died.
I am from the Philippines, but they are ALL EQUALLY BEAUTIFUL RENDITIONS. Leah is a Powerhouse Talent but the other singers are Powerhouses of their own. I LOVE all of them!!!!❤😘😁👍
The originals all the way. Lea has an amazing voice but the originals touch a special place in your heart.
traczebabe that’s a very boring comment.
No for some I will say yes the originals are better but the fact that she has the passion and has her own special place in our hearts I’d say lea is better at some of them
Lea beats you haha
Originals all the way!
When I was in Grade 1, Lea Salonga is already in our book. That's why when I graduated college considering that we don't have tv, I thought she is already very old.
I never even thought that her voice quality before and now didn't change even with her current age.
How come I just found this video. Thank you for coming up with this video
Lea has continually preached that the key to versatile singing is to always put emotion into the performances. If it comes from the heart, the song will feel right. Hence, she's the only singer to be cast as two different Disney princesses (Jasmine and Mulan). Being an award-winning musical actress, she has often said that she's not impressed at all by vocal gymnastics if they don't complement the singer's interpretation of the lyrics.
P
thats true
Yes, although she only sang the song parts sung by both princesses.
@@flmc654mcrf4 Yeah, I said she was cast as a singer for both roles.
Oh, that is so true!!!
Sa galing ni Ms. Lea Salonga dapat sya talaga Judge sa Philippine Idol. Not Moira and James. 🤔 Wrong move ABS CBN.
Yep true, Moira is not good at judging and James is so boring.
lol. james reid. philippine idol is a joke jeez.
I heard lea is busy with her career
Dami dami magagaling na singer sa pinas sila pa pinagjudge puro mukha tinitignan tignan mo si vice puro mukha ang pinapasok kahit ang sakit sa tenga nung boses.
naghahanda ata si miss lea sa the voice
The Lea Salonga's voice is incomparable. She's the legit Crystal Voice not just in Philippines or Asia but the whole World.
The Universe rather
-Pia
Who already watched the frozen2
"into the unknown" hahahahsh
I would love to hear Lea sing Show Yourself ;)
Me. I loved the movie. Watched a few times to remember the songs as I keep singing the songs from the 1st part lol
Great job on the compilation! I appreciate all the time and effort on research and edit work! Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lea is my Top 1 favorite singer, but we don't have to compare her to others, or other singers with others singers. Each of them fits a certain character. I mean I would not gonna watch a show where all of characters would sound the same. There must be something distinct about them that people can easily identify.
Thanks for the compilation tho. 😃
Q
true...imagine simba and hercules sounds like lea
Sorry but tarzan song track is best the way it is
I agree, Lea's version is incredibly great but the original just feels right. Lea always sing with emotion but Phil Collins original version was already full of it, he sung it with all passion. Anyway, both are great singers.
Marithom Martinez Phil is one of my favorite singers
I respect the originals. However I can't deny I love miss Lea's voice so so much! 😘
When i hear the old songs of this disney movie its like bringing me back to my younger days.. I love there songs
I love both, no need comparison 💕
Legend Lea Salonga
Reflection Mulan
Color of the Wind Pocahantas

I love lea salonga so much...cannot denied how amazing her voice...but for this time i still choose the original one...love it so much...make me remember with my childhood and thinlk so fast time flies...
Hermoso video. Felicitaciones.
No need to compare.. The original singers are great and lea Salonga sang it well.. Every person has a unique voice and lea has it..
OMG!!!
Lea Salonga sounds exactly like Jodi Benson when singing part of that world!
So great....amazing gift of voice. You always nail it Lea!
Both amazing!!!😍
Is comparing even necessary? Respect to the original singers. Lea's voice always great, crystal clear, and beautiful. Broadway and Disney's gem.
Well its weird if all the princesses sounds the same.
hahaa even Hercules hahah
So used to the original.
Not tiana
Hagahahahaha
HAHAHAHA TOTOO
I love this post because I get to hear all these great songs in two great ways. It never bothers me to hear covers.
Listening to the old versions makes me sad. Old soul here. They never fails me down. Love them then now and to my next lifetime.
They are both amazing and great in singing...
No body could beat the originals but lea did amazing
Beautiful voice!
Lea Salonga is so amazing. Really beautiful voice in Disney song.
But I think Part of your world. No one else can kill her ... Jodi Benson is the best. !!!
@@martdeleon5918 , A whole new world not I can show you the world.
Totally agreed 👏
Actually i thought lea salonga is the singing voice of ariel in the little mermaid cause they sounded alike. I didnt know jodi benson then☺
Sweet Cake please check it out this link. You’ll know her and love her. Original voice of Ariel
ua-cam.com/video/AWTJkyLWgrk/v-deo.html
Jodi Benson, phew... Love her
Leah's voice is cultured since she was young, but above all, she have the passion since she was little. and combine the two you get a perfect Disney Princess. to add to that, she is a perfectionist.
Every singer is unique and beautiful in his or her own way.
Lea Salonga is a living gem of the Philippines' pool of world-class talents.
She is a class of her own.
Think Lea sings "Let It Go" with more enthusiasm than ldina Menzel...my opinion!
the song is still a very horrible song.
Don't you mean Adele Dazeem?
M. K. The chick who sang it in the movie, Frozen.
@@Rickm2003 Joking. Google John Travolta introducing idina menzel
M. K. Ok
I think lea salonga is a great singer but I think in regards with the song colours of the wind Judy Kuhn would always be the best.
Lea wins everytime except in 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight' where it's a tie
Yeah right you can’t compare her to Jodi Benson
I loooove all versions! Lea is incomparable! ❤️❤️❤️
Still watching this in 2020 ❤️
Would be cool if someone can slice this and make it a duet of all these beautiful songs
This only shows how versatile Lea is. Of course most of the people will prefer the original ones because we heard those versions first and we got used to it. Obviously there will be differences because they are unique in their own way.
Lea sings better.
No need to compare🙂
@@kyle_ramirez well its the whole point of this video.
I really admire LEA SALONGA's singing skills...😍💖😍 I wish I could be like her....😍💖😁
Me too♡♡♡
Me Three!
One of the best!!!! Best of all the best!!!
I love lea the way she deliver the songs ever time she sang, Full of emotions and touch my soul. Stress reliever whenever I listen to her.
Lea always does the best version of every song she sings. Much respect to the composers and original singers who sang the featured songs.
Liked before it even started😅❤
Nostalgic at its best.
I agree with many of you, some "originals" are still better than Lea, but that does not disses her amazing work, and the way she seems to play them. She´s so versatile.
I mean, the real reason why I like Lea Salonga so much is because her voice IS STILL AMAZING. Why? Because she has a proper technique and while I can love and like the original songs, maybe because I grew up with them, what makes me think so great about her is her capacity to keep her voice healthy while other singers can´t sing the way they used to.
That is the real reason I admire Lea. Not because she "can sing it better" OR MAYBE NOT, than anyone. But because she still has a voice to show us. How many other singers can do that for THAT LONG? Not many. Probably there´s some others that can do it too, but seriously, not MANY can keep their voice in such condition. *MIC DROP*
what if it was vice versa? and you grew up with lea as the original singer of those songs? would you still prefer the originals as if they were the one who recreated or made a cover of those songs?
All the singers have great voices on their own rights but nothing beats the great sound of a well tuned Orchestra.😘
It's funny. I've always adored Lea's Disney work, but I've never been crazy about her musical (Broadway) work. Nevertheless, she has a fantastic voice! I've always admired her vocal skills.
Mari Rebecca have you heard her versions of I Dreamed a Dream and On My Own from Les Mis? I thought those were pretty good
@@mccallmemaybe_ You forgot Miss Saigon.
Well i loved her as Fantine. Saw her in Broadway in NY a few years back.
They are all great ❤️
I like both. The originals are great but she brings a lovely new version with her talented clear voice! I could listen to either and be perfectly happy!
Wrong title. This is NOT a battle. We're just blessed that we have these amazing singers share their amazing voices to us.
Proud to be LEA SALONGA FANS ..THE LEGEND THE VERSATILE.🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼
Nothing beats the classic and the original. But still, Lea Salonga sings disney song too, and shes one of the best singer in the world.
Beautiful
Wow each of them sung it well..great renditions..
So.... Won't anyone even say how amazing the creator of this video is because they were able to somehow collate Lea singing these songs? Along with the videos of the original singers singing it in the studio?
I’m head over heels for Jodi Benson’s voice...she practically sang me to sleep every night when I was a small child
Right me too! That woman can sing
Grabe!! Talagang naiyak ako sa Round 2!!👏👏👏🎵🎵
Wtf. LIZ CALLAWAY sounded as perfect for age!
Lea won all but cliff, michael. and idina. She is a very versatile singer.
Idina can't sing. She shouts.
@@Ihdc1 finally someone who feels the same.
She did not beat Jodi Benson. Stop.
Leah is a very versatile singer and has very good dynamics in singing.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 But I don't think comparison is needed. They are all great.
Great compilation. Two things... consider putting the name a little lower on the screen so that you don't block their faces. And... vs. doesn't have a / between the letters.
Aah, actually the name was supposed to appear for like a few seconds and then fade out.....but of course my lazy a** forgot about putting that effect in......😂😂
(And either ways, their voices matter more than their faces in the vid, nothing can block that 😉)
I love lea so much but the originals are better . ❤️I love all of em 🌹❤️Why compare? Really.
Original versions are still the best. The level of nostalgia given is inevitable. The magic they bring to the song is just irreplaceable. Especially Cinderella’s song. That is just magical. Also, Lion King’s song, my childhood is right in that voice.
Agreed. There’s something about Ilene Woods’ voice that tugs at your heart
True that!
Colors of the wind: What probably makes Lea sound better on this one is because of the live powerful orchestra, trust me it makes a huge difference
They both amazing singers❤
I really enjoy this video and keep coming back to it. However I’ve said before - I don’t think it’s necessary to use “versus” and “won” when discussing Lea’s covers. They are Lea’s own versions of songs that people love (this is why people make covers). I would love for someone to do another video that doesn’t ask people to choose a winner AND includes “Beauty and the Beast” (there is a video of Lea in the 90s singing it solo) and Lea singing “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana in her tour last year.
my opinion for which was better
When you wish upon a star - Lea wins
A Dream is a wish your heart makes -Lea Wins
Someone's waiting for you- Lea wins
Part of your World- Jodi (the original) wins
Can you feel the love tonight- Elton wins
Colors of the Wind- Judy (the original) wins
Go the Distance- Lea wins
Journey to the past- Lea wins
You'll be in my heart- Phil wins
The Climb- Lea wins
Let it Go- Idina wins
Agree completely.
I havent watch a video of idina singing let it go live that i like...
Its like her singing is a bit different in her live than her recording.
For me, best version of Let it Go was from Lea
@@whitecrayon4712 that's great for me it's idina lol
I agree.
I love Lea, but it's the originals that's been stuck in my head since my childhood😍
They are both have beautiful voices.
you could have put the name below center, we can't see the beauty of the clips
