  • After 1990 hit, there were no more singers born. After 2000, the music industry plummeted, and continues to do so to this very day *DUN DUN DUUUUNNNN*

  • OMG that last note, wow! She is amazing, brought tears to my eyes!

  • Ahhhhh Belle!! 

  • I wish she had sang this song in the film

    She really does it justice

  • Ahh...Paige, you are a wonderfully talented woman. Still sounding like Belle when you sing, even 18 years after the film was released...beautiful. =)

  • @J0hnny0hm 20 years actually, lol

  • @iamclassicforlife ...Why was I thinking 18? X3 I don't even...

  • @J0hnny0hm Oh, it's no big deal, I just wanted to help out.

  • she did a great job

  • was she lip singing? it seemed off when she was belting n stuff.

  • Looove her! Im in tears!

  • Jodi's husband is not Robert Benson - it is Ray Benson - he starred in Hurry Hurry Hollywood. He managed Jodi and is an outside art collector.

  • @n1disneyprincessfan O.O oh well what do you know, your right......Opps... my bad, but honestly, thanks for correcting me, I would have gone forever thinking they were married. Sorry...

  • I have been looking for a version of this song with Paige O'hara for months! She did a great job. I can totally see Belle singing this to her kids or something

  • LOL Jodi and Sherri problably disliked this video. I bet Jodi Benson was thinking, "Bitch needs to stay away from my husband!" (Robert Benson who voiced the beast is Jodi's husband, in case you didnt get that.

  • @TheLittleMerwolf no ray benson is her husband. Do your research jus sayin

  • Good Memmories filling my head.

  • wow...amazing!!!

    

  • Pity that she has to sing on MIDI music.

  • omg that`s cool .. Love it alot <3

  • Its so weird seeing the voice coming from a person rather than the animated person lol

  • This is so damn beautiful.

  • I think the best part of this video is that Jodi Benson is sitting like a proper princess.

    We don't cross our legs!

  • @starpupilz lol unlike that lady next to her! =)

  • I actually close my eyes and all my childhood memories come flooding back,

    Belle, Ariel & Aurora <3 

  • Paige has still got it you can tell she's singing in Belle's voice at the D23 Expo she was singing in her normal voice

  • This was Howard Ashman's last song he wrote for the film before his death

  • I can't imagine listening to her in real life, I wouldnt even open my eyes, I'd close them and see Belle!!! :)

  • she looks and sounds younger here than in D23 expo Legends awards ceremony 2011

  • @wonderv8 I think she's singing in Belle's voice and not her own

    for the movie she had to pitch her voice up an octave so it would sound like a young woman's

  • Dangggggggg I wish I could meet her!!!!!!! I'd give anything to have seen this in real life!!!!!

  • I almost cried! Why didn't I cry for real?!

  • you can tell she is lyp-synching because her mouth moves at times when the words are not always there. Its standard for events like this to have a performer do this.

  • @curtainswoods naw. I think its the video quality. Besides you can hear the popping from the consonant sounds.

  • amazinggg voice :D trulllyyy magical <3

  • I love her, but for some reason she looks like she's miming!! Is that just me? I know she probably doesnt have to, and maybe its the video quality, but it does kind of look like that! :/

  • @SammySleese

    Just the video quality, I can tell you from personal experience she still has got the magic she's had forever. Shes a wonderful person to meet in real life, just a true sweet heart and incredibly down to earth and humble.

  • these ladies are amazing.....bringing up a generation on video cassettes that i would rewind again and again to sing the songs.....now my daughter does the same on dvd/youtube..x

  • Paige will be named a Disney Legend next month. :)

  • wow her voice is truly amazing! I can hear belle in there :)

  • Lol my name is Paige!!!

  • @dolphin42500 MINE TOO! haha

  • so great!

  • I've listened to this performance and the studio performance stimuatenously and while they are very close they are not the same. I think the performances being THAT close is simply due to the fact that a Broadway singer its her job to be able to sing a song just as it is written night after night. So no, I don't think shes lip-syncing at all.

  • it's like her voice never aged!

  • @sabvilla And she's 55 years old!

  • She isn't lip syncing, the ending note, would she really be doing that if it was syncing? Shes just one of those amazing women, where her voice don't go with how she appears. Maybe I am wrong but if this is lip syncing it's the best I've ever seen lol

  • I think she is amazing.. I love Beauty & the Beast.

  • Her voice is so clear! I love it!

  • She's amazing!!! <3

  • Kind of obviously lip-syncing, but who cares, it sounds great... only thing is, there's no way to be in the moment- you can tell she may have had some new ideas about how to interpret it, but at that point, there's not a lot she could do...

  • if only disney songs are still like this...

  • I thought she was lip syncing, she did a studio version of this, it's on youtube somewhere, and it sounds exactly the same as this, same pronounciation and everything I'm kind of disapointed, I really like Paige, :(

  • The ladies were singing live. It is an echo from singing on a outdoor stage. I could listen to Paige sing for ever.

  • Ok, who's the person that dislike their inging? Hannah Montana's fans BLEH! Come'on Classic rules than today.

  • She held the last note for so long ! Bravo Paige O'Hara

  • She held that note at the end for AGES!

  • you can see the tears in her eyes as she sings... must be so overwhelmed by the nostalgia...

  • Two of my favorite princesses are there! They both still got it! Paige's version is wonderful!

  • who is sitting next to jodi?

  • @fuchsiaheart Shari Stoner, who was the model for Ariel.

  • who is sitting next to jodi?

  • What the fudge! Shes obviously lip synching! Britney Spears hides it better than she does(lol)!

  • You can hear her breathe and even CLEAR HER THROAT into the mic. She's not lip syncing you tools!

  • She. Was. Lip. Synching. Wow I never would have expected that.

  • epic lip sync fail... her Live mic kept cutting in and out at the beginning (around :20) you can obviously hear the pre-recorded track from the Credits of the film

  • @RichMaxwell oh, and before the haters post and say I'm wrong... watch Jodi Benson's clip..same mic, she's actually singing Live the difference...you can hear her breath in the mic... pre-recorded tracks use a breath guard/screen to filter out wind noise from the singer's breath. Jodi's clip you can actually hear that, this one you can't. Tell tale sign of lip syncing.

  • @RichMaxwell Well, that definitely wouldn't help her lip sync since Paige O'hara DIDN'T SING THE SONG FOR THR CREDITS OF THE FILM, so your accusation makes no sense What you hear at the beginning is most likely an echo since it's an outdoor venue. Lastly, you can hear her very clearly take a breath at 2:10 and 2:30. Blew your crap theory outta the water now, didn't I?

    Stop trying to get people all angry, this is about fun memories of disney princesses for pity's sake. Troll.

  • @lilysama I just listened to Paige's studio version and all those breaths are in there. As much as I hate to say it, she probably was lip-syncing. This recording and the studio recording sound IDENTICAL, and her mouth movements at 2:05-2:11 (and a few other spots) don't seem right.

  • @ReallyGoodJoe I understand what your saying, I've noticed her mouth movements too. On the other hand, she is obviously taking enormous breathss as seen when she opens her mouth very wide. And the fact is Paige is very talented broadway perormer she doesn't have any reason to lip-sync so I am still not convinced. And I certainly won't be by dumb technicalities presented by a troll who doesn't know any better ( not you, but the original person who I was responding to).

  • @lilysama She does have a reason to be lip-syncing: age. As the Nostalgia Chick noted in her review of the Disney Princess franchise, Paige O'Hara's voice hasn't aged well. They probably didn't have the time or resources to re-pitch the song accordingly, maybe it was something else, but there is no doubt in my mind that she is lip-syncing in this video. I'm sorry. :/

  • @ReallyGoodJoe Really, I respect your right of opinion, and I appreciate the fact that we have been able to discuss this with civility, so no offense meant when I say: why should your belief or that of this "nostalgia chick" be so important to me as to persuade mine? The "evidence" presented is really just conjecture. Poorly aged or not, she still performs in musicals regularly, and as such I have no doubts that she is genuinely singing. Now,I am done discussing this. I won't read/reply anymore.

  • @ReallyGoodJoe Did you see Paige's new video where she was performing Judy Garland songs? She sounds amazing and Belle is definetley still in her voice. She also said at the Los Angeles premiere of the sing along version of "Beauty and the Beast" that it's actually easier for her to voice Belle in CD roms and toys now since Belle always had one of the most mature sounding voices for a Disney Princess.

  • @entertainer1987 Where can I find this video? Also, that doesn't mean she isn't lip-syncing in this clip. She is, without a doubt, lip-syncing in this video. End of story.

  • @ReallyGoodJoe Type, "Judy the Musical Paige O'Hara" on youtube.

  • @entertainer1987 I've watched it, and those clips of her on stage with a top hat and everything are older clips. She still sounds good in that newer part, but her voice is obviously lower due to age.

  • lol. jodi & paige sound just alike! but their still diffrent in their own unique voices! <3 i love it! . their voices are so unique and youthul and lovelyy! oh my its soo adorable<3

  • Of course, you would thank the lovely ladies to bringing the songs to life, but never forget Mr. Ashman who wrote the amazing lyrics and Menken who composed the touching music. The world will never be the same without you, Howard Ashman... Little Shop of Horrors, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid... greatness that you left behind.

  • It's amazing hear the Disney Princesses' voices come out of real people!

  • My mom went to the same high school as Paige.

  • Just beautiful. I could listen to her sing/talk all day. Probably one of the many reasons Belle is my favorite disney princess. Paige O'hara is amazing.

  • She's so amazing...i'm in awe...

  • Did you hear that note on beast?! That was great! But why are they removing Jodi clips from YouTube??

  • Belle and ariel have the best voices

  • @aruwin25 u forgot princess jasmine from aladdin!!!

  • @Closeyoureyesing01 oh yeah!Jasmine too,of course.I like pocahontas voice as well

  • @aruwin25 aaahhh pocahontas!!! haha

  • her voice is like an angels, its amazing! is so easy-listening its unbelievable

  • beautiful voice

  • @chargugio I agree. Plz plz put the video up. I love Jodi benson so much! She's amazing! I heard Jodi benson sing this on all about the mouse podcast and she did great! Plz put the video up

  • @lhoplaura44 We had the video up, but a number of Jodi Benson videos were removed and we've disputed ours. We are hoping that it returns soon, but there aren't any guarantees. Thanks!

  • @JeffLangeDVD Who's the woman next to Jodi Benson?

  • @oscarlover100 The woamn who was the model for Ariel.

  • You wrote both O'Hara & Benson performed : could you please put the song Jodi Benson sang ?

  • @charguigou We had the video up, but a number of Jodi Benson videos were removed and we've disputed ours. We are hoping that it returns soon, but there aren't any guarantees. Thanks!

  • i like her and lea salonga

  • OMG she's still got it!!!! I LOVE her as Belle! :) And Jodi Benson as Ariel!

  • what's nffc?

  • @fuchsiaheart It is now the Disneyana Club - a club for Disney enthusiasts!

  • BELLE 4EVER

  • The voice of Belle is there! :D

  • she has a beautiful voice. so glad they had picked her for the voice of belle :)

  • pretty sure she is lip syncing...lol but its def. her voice either way

  • b-e-a-utiful voice!! good pic for belle!!

  • I like how everyone is kind of crying.

  • Paige is not lyp-singing. The microphone was messed up at first. I heard the version from her debut album and the way she sings on it is different in parts than here.

  • She's lip-singing.

  • beautiful!!, belle is best with ariel as disney princessess

  • The people who do the voices and singing never seem to look physically like the characters. The look really different to what I imagined.

  • I love how Jodi's looking up at her. =D

  • a lot of the disney characters i noticed still kept their same voice that they still had in the movie that they played in... i watched a video of adriana caselotti after all those years she still had snow whites voice. XD

  • hard to believe she's at least 50 years old.

    she sounds so YOUNG!!!! young as in a TEENAGER!!!! GOD shes AMAZING!!!

    i wish she was my neighbor or something...i could be like: "Bonjour Belle...Provincial life, huh?"

  • @nddlj i'd give HER a provincial life :)

  • @casperlok2dbrain

    bow-chicka-bow-chicka-bow-wow-­wow. 

  • @yRegal lol i have to admit, she does look really good considering she's in her early 50's

  • good god, how long did she hold on to that note at the end?

  • @thehuffmeister1 I just timed it (I know, I know, I have no life, lol) and she was able to hold it for 20 seconds. Impressive!

  • beautiful voice! very soothing and happy! :D...i am so watching BEAUTY AND THE BEAST this weekend with my boyfriend!! :)

  • Comment removed

  • I love Belle from Beauty and the Beast and I love the story. I think it teaches a lesson.

  • Lesson in movie: True beauty and love comes from the heart.

  • Paige o' Hara is a real disney princess. I wish I could meet her and get her autograph. What a magnificent voice!!!

  • i just thought id let all of the ppl sayng she is lip syncing know that sh'es not its because its a video.. things are just out of sync.. my mom was there and both jodi and paige are still amazing

  • she's not the voice of Belle she is just the one who sings the song beauty and the beast and in the movie belle isnt the one singing the song its the teapot...remember?

  • No, Paige O'Hara is the voice of Belle.

    That's true, Belle does not sing Beauty and the Beast in the movie, it's Mrs. Potts.

  • Yeah thats what I said.

  • Angela Lansbury was the voice of the teapot. Paige O'Hara is the voice of Belle.

  • @TheMiR43 Yeah thats what I said. (:

  • no..just here sing that!...she'sbelle...look at folmography and wiki!

  • Yes she is!

  • goosebumps! i love jodi benson so much too x)

  • What a beautyful woman and the voice is sooo sweet. My favourite movie

  • belle is still there

  • She is sadly lip syncing, the song is from her Dream With Me Album, which she did back in 1998.

    Whether or not her voice still sounds like that, dunno. But she isn't singing here, even at points like :31 or :34 you can here her slip her voice into it.

  • Yea when you really pay attention to it, you can tell it's a lip sync. And the look on the woman's face (the one in white) at about :36 kinda gives it away that she messed up too.

  • I think she was singing to a recording, there are certain parts you can tell she is not singing live! but you have to watch really close! anyway she does have a good voice, and she does still sound like Belle! ( but she does not look like her though)

  • Aww Paige still sounds like Belle it's amazing!!

  • considering its been like 20 years since they have first performed paige and jodi sound awesome =]

  • OMG, she still sounds like Belle. You would expect someone as they get older to get some changes in their voice, but not Paige. She still sounds as innocent and sweet as when "Beauty and the Beast" first came out! Belle is my favorite princess!

  • @MannMan16 and still does it today! she has a nice voice

  • She's still sound amazing!

  • i wanna meet jodi and paige...

  • i have met jodi benson. she is sweet but she can be very blunt, which put me off. she was always my hero but my opinion of her has changed a little since i met her.

  • What do you mean exactly when you say she is very blunt? Can you give an example? I hope I get to meet her eventually.

  • I think it's really cool how she still has the innocence in her voice after all these years.

  • She still sounds like Belle! I love her!

  • I love this song, I love her voice, I love beauty and the beast, I love Belle I LOVE YOU PAIGE!!!!!!!!

    Wonderful video!!!!! It´s amazing hear this song by Paige O´Hara =) I love it^^

  • so sweet, i adore her voice!! remarkable!

  • Umm how about shes making 'such weird faces' because its called singing? You cant really help your facial expressions when you're singing.

  • wow she sang it really goood. no one get mad, but i think she did better than jodi benson.

  • I agree with you she still has the Belle feeling in her voice, but Jodi still sounds AMAZING but it was not the part of your world I remember

  • Two thumbs WAY up! BTW, Are Jodi and Paige bffs?

  • Yes, they are very good friends.

  • Just... incredible!

  • She has the  most amazing voice

  • Why is everyone seeming to be crying? Anyhow there seems to be no miming here, all of the imperfections a syncing that's a part of live performance seems to check out.

  • It's incredible to hear Belle (Paige) sing her own version of the song.. I love it :)

  • She IS most DEFINITELY miming. WHY? she has a FANTASTIC voice!

  • shes such a talented singer only her face looks strange when she holds notes lol i still love her nd jodi (best disney voices ever)

  • I think all the princesses are amazing... however these are the only two who still do gigs and stuff! :) x

  • I wish Disney would make the fairy tale "Snow White and Rose Red" into a film with Jodi as the voice as Snow White and Paige as Rose Red. That would be the best disney movie of the year!

  • I want them to make that film too! however those two can't star as their already disney princesses! :( I'll star as one ;) haha! x

  • lol wtf is up with the video.. she starts sounding old and then starts sounding like the Belle i knew.. >.> odd odd video nevertheless Paige is great :)

  • well she was born in like, the 50s..so i think she looks amazing..shes like 53 or something

  • I love her!! I love her!!

  • Wow, absolutely amazing... I'm Paige O'Hara's fan, really, i think her voice is beautiful, and of course that's one reason i love Belle..

    Good!
