      Lea is a very respectful to how the song is supposed to be sing. She never ad lib or put angst on the supposed high note part, to mask you hitting those high note. That is why if you listen to different YT videos of her singing one song, you can see that there are no difference.

      Katherine Catignas Mulan wasn't wearing a kimono. Kimonos are Japanese, and Mulan is Chinese. Mulan was wearing a hanfu, which inspired the kimono, so I see how you could've been confused.

      I mean they’re just both different, but I agree, I’m a bit disappointed. I love the 2020 version, but if they’re bringing back Mulan, why not with the actual Mulan? The one that actually sang the song in the movie. She’s really good too so I just don’t get it. Or more so, I do get it (Christina is more mainstream and has more star power), I just don’t like it. I didn’t even know Christina was involved in Mulan when the Disney cartoon movie released. I had to read through several comments and watch Christina’s old version to realize she must have only sang on the physical release (OST) or credits or something and that’s why Lea Salonga’s version (cartoon Mulan’s singing voice) is the only version I knew.
      Edit: Having watched the movie now. I don’t understand why they did all this and didn’t have any of the songs in the movie. All the music was in the credits and the movie only contained like background music. Audio only versions with no singing. I liked the movie, but this was a bit disappointing. How could they not make a musical?

    ("The Journey so Far" version)
    Look at me
    I will never pass for a perfect bride, or a perfect daughter
    Can it be
    I'm not meant to play this part
    Now I see, that if I were truly to be myself
    I would break my family's heart
    Who is that girl I see
    Staring straight back at me
    Why is my reflection someone I don't know
    Somehow I cannot hide
    Who I am, though I've tried
    When will my reflection show, who I am, inside
    How I pray, that a time will come
    I can free myself and meet their expectations
    On that day, I'll discover someway to be myself
    And to make my family proud
    They want a docile lamb
    No-one knows who I am
    Must there be a secret me
    I'm forced to hide
    Must I pretend that I am someone else for all time
    When will my reflection show, who I am inside
    When will my reflection show, who I am inside

      Minuet Kurjakovic Technically she isn't a princess, but she is a member of the Disney Princess lineup.

      Minuet Kurjakovic true, i agree with u she's not a princess :) if u know her legend and the poem about her she didn't came from a noble family.

      *sigh* Mulan is part of the Disney Princess franchise, therefore she is a Disney Princess even though she isn't actually a princess. Why don't people understand that?

    • @ab_0724
      @ab_0724 10 років тому +2

      @Starlight.Song Cause children misinterpret and do believe that mulan is a princess, Yes she is a disney princess franchise but in reality she's just an ordinary girl who became a general(from the Hua Mulan poem - HISTORY). They are just stating the facts. don't hate people who are sharing the facts ^^

      Ariel Bernice Mercado, the original commenter is right tho... She's a Disney princess.. I don't understand why the mentioning of her as a disney princess, people starts saying she's got no royal blood . If she just said princess , maybe u can correct her but she said Disney Princess therefore she's correct ..

    Look at me
    I will never pass for a perfect bride, or a perfect daughter
    Can it be
    I'm not meant to play this part
    Now I see, that if I were truly to be myself
    I would break my family's heart
    Who is that girl I see,
    Staring straight back at me
    Why is my reflection someone I don't know
    Somehow I cannot hide
    Who I am, though I've tried
    When will my reflection show, who I am, inside
    How I pray, that a time will come
    I can free myself and meet their expectations
    On that day, I'll discover someway to be myself
    And to make my family proud
    They want a docile lamb
    No-one knows who I am
    Must there be a secret me
    I'm forced to hide
    Must I pretend that I am someone else for all time
    When will my reflection show, who I am inside
    When will my reflection show, who I am inside

    As a gay guy , many people think that i love Lady so much and will bring Born this way to every performance of mine , which is not wrong. But in my heart , this song tell the whole story of life from when I was a child to be a misfit, an outcast and when I first used my voice to sing... and I sang Reflection on that day.
