  • She truly performed that song, she danced Mulan's feelings on the ice, oh god I'm tearing up here...

  • She will always be a GOLD medalist in our heart, even though she never won an Olympic gold medal I am sure some overrated skaters even won a gold medal. You can bet who that overrated skater is...... please post one example in here. But please, no fighting.

  • Omg I love her! She's amazing! And I love reflection too! Okay, gotta admit, it's perfect!

  • wow this version of mulan is longer with 3 stanzas and some lyrics also are different.. still love it. I love you Lea! :)

  • shes Amazing!!!

  • @RUAmplified yes, i totally agree.

  • what an awesome video of Michelle Kwan skating to Lea Salonga's version of Mulan.

    Two awesome asian women!!!thanks for sharing this video.

  • I'm happy they actually got an Asian skater (and Michelle Kwan at that!) to skate Reflection, as it's the only Disney Classic with an Asian storyline and it'd only seem degrading if they got a blond haired person to do it in a Chinese-inspired costume... It fits Michelle the best.

    (At least that's how I see it).

  • I think I saw this live on tv when I was a kid o.O

  • Amazing skate --> Michelle Kwan + Amazing voice --> Lea Salonga = Gold Medal

  • a beautiful, graceful skating with a powerful singing voice in the background...both complimented each other!

  • I love Lea and Michelle Kwan so this is AWESOME!

  • wth, where did she get the song?! I've been searching for it for like 10 years!!

  • MIchelle Kwan and Lea Salonga: What a treat! :-)

  • I loved Michelle Qwan forever!

    

  • Michelle is awesome. She's like floating. Lea's amazing. 

  • too bad there's not a love button.

  • omg. shes freakin awesome

  •  i like the voice of lea salonga...♥

  • That was beautiful!

  • .,i'll never understand figure skating as i prefer to watch ice dancing BUT she is the best figure skater i have seen so far...

  • So beautiful. Michelle has the "it" factor. It can't be taught.

  • 6 people don't have class.

  • she's cute. she is LILO look-a-like...

  • one of my most favorite programs she ever skate other then fields of gold

  • I need to get the whole version of the song!

  • omg... 18 years old?? she's so young here! i love her! some of the jumps have such perfect timing to the music. i love this!

  • Que hermoso patinaje de michelle kwan

  • babyfe81 i love michelle kwan skating. brilliant! and the song she chosen she interpreted it perfectly.

  • they do so many more jumps now

  • @lockedinsideurhsbox lol that's not true. back in michelle's time they often did just as many jumps as they do nowadays, it's just this mulan performance is not a REAL competition performance but done just for fun for the crowd so it's a lot easier. it's also known as an 'exhibition" performance as other ppl have stated on this video.

  • I remember watching this on tv as a little girl... does anyone know when this aired? Such a brilliant song, singer, and wonderful skater.

  • If anyone has the full version of this song, I'd seriously like marry you if you could give it to me ahaha

  • "They want a docile lamb."

  • Okay, what does she say at 2:29.

    "They want a (blank), No one knows, who I am."

    Lea Salonga is soo much better then Christina agulera.

  • @gymrat709 "They want a docile lamb."

  • Michelle Kwan is, no doubt, a treasure. Wonderful interpretation of a very meaningful song by Lea Salonga. Brought warm feelings out.

  • she looks like lilo

  • haha agree!! :))

  • amazing beautiful song....

  • was this filmed/performed before or after she skated Mulan for the tv special?

  • Lea's voice is so soothing, unlike Christina's version. Oh wait, what's the lyrics on this part: "Now I see, If I ____________, I can fool them all"

  • Comment removed

  • @gab7dcc

    Now I see,

    If I wear a mask,

    I can fool the world,

    but I cannot fool my heart.

  • its "Now I see, If I wear a mas, I can fool the world....."

  • @gab7dcc : "Now I see, if I learned each rule and could fool them all, I could never fool my heart."

  • thanks, :D

  • B-E-A-U-TIFUL

  • she's hotter now judging by the footage I saw a year ago

  • beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

    Learning how to ice-skate is 1 of my dreams.

  • Lea Solonga sings this...........beautiful.

  • I love Michelle's skating, but the song really captured me too. I've always loved Lea Salonga's version more than Christina's, yet the soundtrack's only got that short 2 min version. D:

    I wonder where Michelle got the song...

  • AMAZING!

  • OMG...chills......the combination of this beautiful song with her dancing/skating...just amazing!

  • how come she dosnt skate now?? shes a national treasure imo

  • She's in grad school.

  • great choreo! her dress...i love it..hahahaha...it's like mulan's

  • This is the AWESOMEST performance that I have ever saw!

  • Beautiful. Does she still ice skate anymore?

  • Yes but she is not doing the olympics. shes concentrating on school. Judging from her age, she prob won't be in the olympics again.

  • Thanks ^^

  • I think she did that wonderfully, being a skater myself, I know that the sorts of things she was doing, the axels and lutz and that backwards spiral, are extremely difficult, and she did them without any faults. Also praise for Lea Salonga, beautiful song.

  • gawd! this is just sooo amazing. like not only a great song but one fantastic hell of a skater.

    yeah i've searched everywhere on youtube, imeem, google, and have yet to find the actual extended version. all i could find was the cut n half version that disney did or the lame christina aguilera crap. if anyone finds it hook me up =]

  • yeah the same here :/

  • gawd shes amazing

  • This gave the goose bumbs. I loved it!

  • amazing!

  • she's really amazing. she always skates with her heart. ..it's really really beautiful...

  • She is the best among her contemporaries, and they were the best generation of figure skating. Yes, it would mean a world to her if she got that gold. Her journey would be complete. But, it doesn't diminish what she had accomplished and the love we have for her.

  • If I could favorite this a second time I would. Such beauty!

  • I would say, one of the greatest compliments to Ms. Lea Salonga's rendition of the song.

  • kwan is 18 here same age as Mao and Yuna. I think Mao is a very elegant skater; classical elegance. She is really lovely to watch. But she needs to show more passion and connection to the music. Yuna does have very good connection to the music and the passion for it. But, i don't really like her overall positions.

    Kwan's positions were all great and she had a very good connection to the music. She had elegance too--not a classical elegance like Mao, but still very good. Kwan, overall, better.

  • I remember when this movie came out and DIsney had this hour special of Mulan on Ice and it was just pretty much michelle kwan on ABC playing mulan and skating to the songs. I was obsessed with michelle back then

  • did she win ?

    i want to have the extended version of Lea Salonga's Reflection from Mulan (mp3) ,who can give me?

  • there's probably one here in youtube.  just search lea salonga reflection mulan.

  • It's not a competition; in official competition the pieces that they skate to cannot have lyrics. It's probably an exhibition or just a tour or something of that sort.

  • I'm pretty sure this is from the Goodwill Games (98) and yes she won the event even though there was a fall in the LP, but a good event for her :)

  • Whoops. My bad then.

  • this song is very great, and she skate very well too! i want to have this whole song of this singer !can someone give me?thx!

  • Lea Salonga

  • it wasn't lame for ppl in those days

  • The original figure skating routine before the 2006 olympics didn't force skaters to perform a number techniques on ice, a lot of skaters back then weren't as stressed as today's skaters. Michele wasn't popular by strenght nor her jumps but by her drive and gracefulness on ice. no skater was as graceful as her. Skaters today excel in strenght but lack in grace. The only skaters left from the original scoring systems who are still competing are suguri and miki ando.

  • Yes .. but in my opinion Michelle is a legend of figure skating .. however i think that Juna and Mao are very technical skaters but in my opinion they haven't the grace , the speed and the charm of Carolina Kostner .

  • i disagree. Mao, to me is graceful. Just as Kwan is graceful in a different way. Mao is more spirited and has sheer elegance of her own. She has a way of presenting herself to her fans in a straightforward way. Kwan has a very lyrical grace in a more technical term.

  • @annabella1217 @annabella1217 you have no idea what you're talking about. this is an exhibition performance, which means it's just to entertain the audience - so of course it's "simple/easy", exhibition performances are the same today, including ones by mao and yuna. the programs michelle did for REAL competitions were much harder and she often did 7 triple programs which is way more than many of today's champion ladies. michelle's amazing change of edge spiral is as hard as any triple combo

  • Somehow, Lea's voice better than Christina

  • def.!!

  • hell yeah!

  • @girlin7 Christina is this powerhouse strong voice, but lea salonga has a strong powerful, yt soft and elegant voice that is very versatile and perfect for broadway. It's two different types of voices

  • @girlin7 true. as in waaaay better.

    nice performance from michelle kwan.. michelle and mulan has similar faces.. (LoLz)! (*^__^*).v..

  • besides the minor dental malfunction..I think she's really beautiful as well, nice ovular feminine face and sparkling eyes, and she's got the talent to back it up~

    she's definitely rare gold :)

  • wow she is so smooth

  • Fantastic. I salute the talented people of Asia!

  • Stupid announcers and audience. Do they have any concept of how difficult it is to find a longer version of this song, which hasn't been mangled by Xtina Aguilera?

  • haha so true. Whenever I listen to Lea first then switch to Christina, I inevitably blurt "Eww". lolz

  • she just flows with her movements

  • love the song..

    dang....I wish I can skate

    too bad I don't know how and ever get a chance to learn

  • simple!!! she is the best!!!

  • really amazing show!

  • Does somebody know where can I find the complete lyrics of this song?

  • I just love lea A.! She's the greatest!

  • she really felt the music. wow

  • Lea Salonga sings flawlessly and effortlessly!!!

  • uhh, she was just on Broadway as Fantine from march to october last year, she was great i am told, no surprise, so we should get more chances to see here in that part...

  • wow...

  • Magnificent.

  • isnt lea salonga filipino

  • lea salonga is an filipina singer in broadway....

  • lea salonga is a filipina

  • I love Michelle Kwan and also Lea Salonga. It's a perfect combination. :)

    Can I get somwhere this version of the song or the lyrics?

  • Wow- the audience applause during her introduction- amazing. She's already a legend.

    This is from the Goodwill Games July19-August 1 1998.

    What beautiful moves and feeling. Another Kwan masterpiece.

  • Michelle, oh my god i love her!!

  • loved loved loved this song, who sang it? anyone? thanks..

  • Lea Salonga.

    apparently her version

    is way better than

    Cristina A.'s

  • boy! i love ice skating! too bad my mom doesnt want me to join any competitions.

  • well best choice though..to the fact that she is asian as well as lea salonga!! go asian!

  • HAH its funny she chooses lea salonga version instead of xtina. i wouldve too.

  • wow

  • BRAVO. MICHELLE!

  • Does anyone have the mp3 of this extended version?

  • do u think kwan"s performance will be as good as this if she used aguilera"s version or coco lee's version of the song reflections

  • no. absolutely not. christinas is too strong, doesnt go great with this song. it was meant to be sung by lea. and coco lee shes good but the lea version sounds better for this performance

  • Why do American commentators always have to interupt the performance with innane comments about who designed her dress? No-one cares, we just want to watch and listen. Sssshhhhhh!

  • Michelle Kwan, the song & Lea Salonga singing what more can u ask for?!

  • Michelle Kwan was in Mulan II, as the shopkeeper :]

    I love Lea Salonga!

  • Michelle Kwan, Reflection, how could this get better?

  • Wow, the program is so good...it gives me goosebumps!

  • Dear God I love this song. I want an mp3 of this extended version :( I always thought the original was far too short. (And screw the Christina Aguilera version, in case somebody was going to recommend it to me or something. Don't even go there, sister.)

  • If you go to bebo dot com, the links are:

    jloohio

    and

  • oh my god your tears just flow right out of eyes watching this...

  • oh my god your tears just flow right out of eyes watching this...

  • Unbelievable balance, agility, skill...you name it.

    I can't believe it.

    Indeed, when will her reflection show who she is inside?

  • she looks like jasmine trias =D hehe

  • I remember watching michelle kwan skate mulan when the movie first came out. Reflections on Ice I think it was called. She and some other skaters were performing to the music of mulan.

  • fantastic...
