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.
Please don't say that, there are other true singers *also* that does that too. They are expressing their emotions through their songs but we all end up impressed at the end.
because today's disney movies are suck! they want new artists that they only know how to impress. artists that only know how to make themselves beautiful in front of camera but not to sing well
Actually she still sings for the animated films like in sofia the first for mulan and princess jasmine's singing... so she's still with disney... i believe this is not an animated movie, may be that's why?
Because the more you get older the more your voice gets developed, and you discover more things with your voice, the things you need to improve to get a better voice.
Mary costa is good but lea salonga and this song is part of the Renaissance, golden era of Disney.. and that pair with lea talent truly made her a star
I really don't see why she didn't do the new movies songs because THIS is true talent that you really can't find anywhere else. Christina Aguileras was good but this was the best
Alison Luff plays fantine in broadway but yes you are correct she did play fantine. She played fantine in the 2007 broadway revival and in the 25th anniversary of Les Mis.
you know the word "common sense" right? of course she sounds matured now she is 40+ something for godsake...just enjoy her voice.. i wonder if you can sing like that geez
She's truly beautiful inside & out.Sayang nga Lang kung mataas lng si Miss Lea,she could join in Miss Universe Pageant & I'm 100% sure she will gonna win cause she has the talent,beauty & brain.Ang ganda ng mukha nya di nakasasawa,pinay na pinay at habang tinitigan mo sya lalong gumaganda.
Watched Christina Aguilera’s new cover of Reflection. Was pleasantly surprised. Then watched this and was reminded of who literally owns this song! Incredible! Way better than Christina!
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.
Lea Salonga is one the best singers in the world. Bar none. Just the ultimate. Jasmine, singing voice of Mulan, Cinderella in Rodger's and Hammerstein's Cinderella, and omg Eponine from Les Mis. Oh and the original Kim in Miss Saigon. Like C'MON!!!
As a lesbian, I relate to this song so much. Sometimes I nearly break down in tears whenever I hear the lines: "Now I see that if I were truly to be myself, I would break my family's heart." and "Somehow I cannot hide who I am, though I've tried."
+almarjyou Lea's version was for Mulan's Singing Voice in the movie, while Christina's version was for soundtrack / promotion... but TBH, Lea's version was better 😀👍
My sentiment exactly....... Christina is amazing but this woman is still alive, so it will make sense to have a return on the soundtrack... Maybe there's a reason for which we don't know but it would have been nice to hear her
I love how she doesn’t fight the accompaniment she works with them and just lets emotion shine in her facial expression and minimal movement. A lot of singers have these elaborate dances when you just need a voice and a piano.
Mulan is not a princess, but a hero. In Mulan 2 movie, Disney seems to have stated that she is better than a princess. Qi Gong Advisor: “Fa Mulan, the hero of China, a jewel in your crown, far more dear that three mere princesses”!
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
Lea originally sang this song, yet not many people know that and it’s sad because I feel like she doesn’t get all the credit she deserves. I mean her voice is so amazing. She doesn’t need auto tune.
*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?
@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 ..
I remember when I was a little girl, I use to wake up scared and upset from nightmares and I just remember calling for my mum, she would come and hug me and then put Mulan on for me to calm me down, I looked up to Mulan because of how strong and brave she was and it helped me forget my nightmares and be strong just like her
Lauren George mulan is the best princess, I'm not even sure if she's a princess but you know what I mean. I love how brave she is, I could never be that brave.
Aguilera's voice doesn't suit the princess image. She's a mezzo-soprano not a true soprano. Her voice texture is thick to be considered as a princess voice.
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?
"Reflection" ("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
thank you very much I am Japanese,so I can't listen to what she sings correctly. Your this comment helps me understand Reflection of her version!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤
the first time i listened to this song was christina aguillera's version.. and I all I heard were screaming and growling. Now I understand why original version are always better...actually Leah you are incomparable.. you didn't even have to scream... your voice makes me float in the air
Many singers have sang this song and some did it justice but none of them comes close to the way Lea sings this song. Her enunciation is clear and crisp. Absolute perfection.
I think Let It Go has a great message but the lyrics are pretty elementary. I'm biased because I grew up on 90's Disney, but even "Belle (Reprise,)" which is not even a minute long, is better than Let It Go.
I grew up watching Disney movies. She is such a biggest inspiration of all times. Her voice is so magical and it gets better in time. She's a lot older now since Princess Jasmine and Mulan, but her voice will never be forgotten. A classic voice..
Darryl Wolfe Well, I don't think I can sing? I may need good vocal training to develop good vocal technique. A voice coach that can help improve my singing voice? But one thing I'm good at is I can dance :). I break dance and had perform in shows both live, tv invitations and more. We have a group here in Cali. Break dance is a good work out for me as well..
Smh at people trying to say this song is for Trans people.. It's about a daughter struggling to find a way be strong enough to support her family as a female only child AND be preparing herself for courting and motherhood. It's a beautiful story of strength and dedication to family. People can take the songs message any way they like, but it doesn't change the actual meaning of the song.
+MonsterHunterFan10052 Well basically (I'm not trans myself mind you but this is basically what it is for them) just because they have the body of a man or a woman doesn't mean that they are. Being a woman doesn't simply mean having a vagina it's in a way a state of being. I get why it can be hard to grasp but we shouldn't be cruel to these people after all they're still human.
I don't get what you mean of course the song is for a story however the song itself is much more powerful than that. It is a message of wanting to belong so despite it being a story song of course it will send a message after all stories like Disney are meant to show messages aren't they?
When the first verse ended without that beautiful lifted note, my spirits were crushed...until, of course, I realized there was still time left in the video, and a second verse, which ended with said stellar note. Chills, I say. Spine-tingling chills.
I used to cry at this song because of what my childhood has done to me but I learned to remove that sadness into happiness because my mom is proud of me
This is one true gifted artist who takes care of her voice through the years. I once read that she doesn’t drink cold water and always covers her neck with a scarf on a cold night. Such discipline! Just Beautiful!!!
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.
This song is like my favorite song, I also loved her singing for Pocahontas 😍 this song was so relatable for me as a kid! I’m 42 years old now and still love it.

The fact that Lea didn't get to sing 'Reflection' in the remake, not even a cameo, was a huge crime by Disney. The disrespect.
Disney has brought dishonor on us all :(
This is true 😞

Lea's diction and pronunciation is as clear as Mulan's reflection in the tombstones of her ancestors.
because she is MULAN herself 🙈
Yes. She is very good in pronounciation....
Clear as in crystal clear.
Because she is the original singer of this song
That's because it was her singing in the movie. She is the singing voice of Mulan in the movie.
Who else's favorite Disney Princess is Mulan?
Me

she's not a princess, fyi, she married a general
+f0rest-fire she still counts as a disney princess
+f0rest-fire and that is lit🔥
Mulan isn’t a princess, she’s a warrior. One of the most badass Disney characters there is.
She is or else Disney won't recognize her as a Disney Princess.
She is a Disney Princess
That’s what makes her a Princess. A brave one. Unique ❤️
She's both 😂❤
the only princess who doesn't wear tiara or crown
I love how she can belt without screaming or going too forward...she's so ridiculously talented.
Completely agree. It's amazing to watch,
So true. Effortless talent
ImTheSumorian I wouldn't say she's perfect. She has a bit of wobble now
It's because here voice type is mix. That's why she doesn't need to belt
+Loreto Tianes Jr what is a mix voice type lol
I also once felt that my reflection was someone I didn't know but then I realized I was looking through a window at the gardener.
OMG hahaha
LMAO
ahhahahah
Gg XD
+Stoopid Pursun so you are really the gardener.
She has such a great voice. It's no wonder she sang two of the best Disney songs. She's perfect as Jasmine! I love Jasmine and Mulan!

Who came back here after Christina's new mv of Reflection?
This one is still better! I hope Lea Salonga has MV too 😖
Haha i did had to check it put
Coco lee the original singer who sang the chinese version sang it again but why no lea salonga?
Yeah more emotions than chrisitina
WE NEED LEA SALONGA BACK!!!!
Lea Salonga's version is WAY BETTER.
lea sings to express not to impress that's her most powerful attribute that not all singers have

You are so right about that. So dedicated to her music. She can sing just about everything. GOD bless her.
But she does both. She expresses but we end up so impressed hahaha
She's a walking emotions 😂😂😂😂
K.bye
Please don't say that, there are other true singers *also* that does that too. They are expressing their emotions through their songs but we all end up impressed at the end.

Yes facts !!!!

Mulan is such an underrated movie

only the singing voice of Jasmine
and in my neighbor totoro. like damn... this makes me just love this woman more.
+Kynan Tay ya she only played the singing part of jasmine
this women by far is the most talented Disney voice that truly made a mark on the musical world regarding masterful vocal for great movies
False! Check out Mary Costa, the one who voiced Aurora in Sleeping Beauty. She is-indeed- the best voice in the Disney Princesses.
Mary costa is good but lea salonga and this song is part of the Renaissance, golden era of Disney.. and that pair with lea talent truly made her a star

It would've been awesome though if she wore a kimono like mulan did in the movie.

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

This is the voice and version I GREW UP knowing. This is the original to me and I remember admiring her and wanting to wear kimonos lol
❤️❤️❤️❤️
mhm!! by the way, kimonos are Japanese, a hanfu is a traditional Chinese dress and the one that Mulan wore
It’s not at all sung the same as in the movie. This one is filled with technique.
This is 100 times better than Christina Aguilera's version.
You're TRIPPING!!!😳
Aguilera's voice doesn't suit the princess image. She's a mezzo-soprano not a true soprano. Her voice texture is thick to be considered as a princess voice.
what’s wrong with you??? they’re booth good in their own way...
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?
@@FullmoonPhantom-dn2sr The actress does sing the song in the movie. It's in Chinese.
Honestly Lea's voice is so beautiful. She expresses so much emotion in her singing, in every Disney song she took part in.
Absolutely stunning.
Imagine singing this song while you're alone in the bathroom in front of the mirror....
Who...is that girl I see? Staring straight back at me.........
Lol! XD this is sooooo creepy!!! And by the way, Lovi Poekimo -__- Seriously?
Hahaha I actually do that and cry afterwards 😂👌🏻
Lovi Poekimo Ryan Higa did that
Lovi Poekimo omg you guys!!! this thread is hilarious I LOLed XD
Lovi Poekimo LMAO!! That's just sad lol
"Reflection"
("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
thank you very much
I am Japanese,so I can't listen to what she sings correctly. Your this comment helps me understand Reflection of her version!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤
she looks and sounds soo young
hard to believe she sang for mulan and aladdin like 20 yrs ago
Omg. Lea is the only disney princess that makes me shed tears everytime. Her voice is literal perfection
I know I can't be the only one to cry every time they hear this song....... just saying
that note every time gives me chills....
I cried literally eveytime I listen to this song especially the movie part
Omg i thought im the only one my friends used to tease me by playing this song
I KNOW RIGHT??
I’m a 30 year old dude and yes, a little tear always finds its way out. Also the Beauty and the Beast song..nostalgia is powerful.
Our legend singer of Philippines even Philippines have many new singer Lea is my ultimate favorite singer ever
While I was listening to this and closed my eyes, I can clearly see Mulan looking at her reflection on that crystal clear water singing this song..
It's beautiful. It's so emotional
No one can ever best the original MULAN.. THIS IS PURE TALENT. FILIPINOS MUST BE PROUD OF HER
the first time i listened to this song was christina aguillera's version.. and I all I heard were screaming and growling. Now I understand why original version are always better...actually Leah you are incomparable.. you didn't even have to scream... your voice makes me float in the air
Many singers have sang this song and some did it justice but none of them comes close to the way Lea sings this song. Her enunciation is clear and crisp. Absolute perfection.
Mulan is one of my favorites!! And this voice rocks it all!!!
of course. she owns mulan's voice
Lea be like: "Hey Christina, this is how it's done!"
Bragger o_o but she is good-
correcto Lea canta hermoso, Cristina grita innecesariamente.
Such a shame the full version didn’t make it to the film :(
Right?? They should've at least released the full version on the soundtrack album. Dishonor on their cow!!
Let it go by Idina Menzel and Reflection by Lea Salonga are the BEST performance and lyrics produced by disney!
Oh yeah. I honestly like this version better than Christina Aguilera's. Not to say Christina's version is bad, I just like this one better.
I think Let It Go has a great message but the lyrics are pretty elementary. I'm biased because I grew up on 90's Disney, but even "Belle (Reprise,)" which is not even a minute long, is better than Let It Go.
Lhi Yen Let it go sucks. Classic Disney music is still the best.
J Witherspoon OMG YAS! BELLE (REPRISE) IS THE BEST 😭
YOUR WELCOME of MOANA
my music teacher made us listen to this.
im blessed.
I really love her control and her vibrato is just perfect.
I grew up watching Disney movies. She is such a biggest inspiration of all times. Her voice is so magical and it gets better in time. She's a lot older now since Princess Jasmine and Mulan, but her voice will never be forgotten. A classic voice..
+Ashley Anderson You have a pretty face just like her.
+Darryl “darvlaskie” Wolfe ;)
+Darryl “darvlaskie” Wolfe "Thank you; that's a really lovely thing to say."
Ashley Anderson Do you sing?
Darryl Wolfe Well, I don't think I can sing? I may need good vocal training to develop good vocal technique. A voice coach that can help improve my singing voice? But one thing I'm good at is I can dance :). I break dance and had perform in shows both live, tv invitations and more. We have a group here in Cali. Break dance is a good work out for me as well..
she is the BEST disney princess singer
+CupcakeCutieAwesomeness She's the only person to have sung as 2 different princesses (Jasmine and Mulan)
Yes she only Pinay🇵🇭
The emotion and power in her voice is enough to make me tear up every time I hear her sing this song. Mrs. Salonga is an unmatched singing legend.
I always go back to this if i want a good cry. Heartfelt.
Lea has been my idol since I was 4 (I'm 28 now). Her voice never fades and still gives me the chills. BTW she also played eponine in les miserables
Her voice matured beautifully! Still the same old Mulan , I loved her as Jasmine too. Her voice is pure gold
She still got it ! Mulan is my faaaavvvvvvv princess.
I’ve never seen a more incredible singer. Her voice is so clear and beautiful and makes me cry everytime
Smh at people trying to say this song is for Trans people.. It's about a daughter struggling to find a way be strong enough to support her family as a female only child AND be preparing herself for courting and motherhood. It's a beautiful story of strength and dedication to family. People can take the songs message any way they like, but it doesn't change the actual meaning of the song.
I know! it gets annoying after a while
smh @ you. It could be a song for Trans people too >_>.
+MonsterHunterFan10052 yea
+MonsterHunterFan10052 Well basically (I'm not trans myself mind you but this is basically what it is for them) just because they have the body of a man or a woman doesn't mean that they are. Being a woman doesn't simply mean having a vagina it's in a way a state of being. I get why it can be hard to grasp but we shouldn't be cruel to these people after all they're still human.
I don't get what you mean of course the song is for a story however the song itself is much more powerful than that. It is a message of wanting to belong so despite it being a story song of course it will send a message after all stories like Disney are meant to show messages aren't they?
Sooo beautiful!! Love herrrrr
When the first verse ended without that beautiful lifted note, my spirits were crushed...until, of course, I realized there was still time left in the video, and a second verse, which ended with said stellar note. Chills, I say. Spine-tingling chills.
I used to cry at this song because of what my childhood has done to me but I learned to remove that sadness into happiness because my mom is proud of me
This is one true gifted artist who takes care of her voice through the years. I once read that she doesn’t drink cold water and always covers her neck with a scarf on a cold night. Such discipline! Just Beautiful!!!
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.
Thỏ Nâu OMG I CRIED
@@dreameasy9992 just like your father
@@thonau8030 true
@@dreameasy9992 yes, and you are his butt boy.
The simplicity of the way she sung it is just perfect
This song is like my favorite song, I also loved her singing for Pocahontas 😍 this song was so relatable for me as a kid! I’m 42 years old now and still love it.
she's the best singer. Lea salonga was always one of my favourite Disney princess singers.
Mulan, did things not for a prince but for a king her father ❤
she is already in 40's but her voice is definitely not change.. that's the Filipino voices. I salute you my Idol.
@@nosterbebot true tbh
Leah is the GOLD STANDARD of Reflection! Goosebumps still today, June 26, 2024!❤
Lea Salonga is a Respective singer in the Philippines.from her young age until now her voice doesn't change.
