Now singers don't have to have any talent because they can always just pitch their voices. But it shows amazing talent when someone can sound like that on and off screen without having to pitch their voices.
Why are people so intent on "original version"? Lea was original during the film, chosen by Disney for to represent the character, due to her style of singing; Christina was also original, played over the end credits, chosen by Disney to sing the full version in a pop style. And she was a total unknown until this movie. Disney does this a lot - 2 ORIGINAL versions....
i don;t know what you people are talking, i prefer her vibrato. she is a very powerful singer, and a hell of a lot better than whitney houston or celine dion. and her version, rather than the short disney version. her voice is like ear candy. i can't get enough of it. in the words of Sebastian the Crab, "She has de most beautiful voice".
@bullet1459 i think so too. i couldn't help but notice that too during her performance at the disney legends awards... if she could have only stayed true to the song as we know it in the film.. not that i don't like her singing! she's amazing... she just have to tone that vibrato a little...
I got chills from this song, I always loved the movie verson NOT Christina's verson. Not because I do not like Christina because I think she can sing but certain songs do not need yelling and Christina sort of yells, Lea doesn't get to loud.
@palacsintakat um. she's not wobbling her voice. it's called vibrato, and all the best singers do it to make the notes they sing sound richer, rounder and fuller.
Well, way better than Xtinas version, but I think that, though it was great, it didn't pass the sadness and feeling like in the movie... She sings great.
Stop Compairing her to Christina. no one campairs to Lea. and who ever said Who is Lea...I AM VERY DISAPOINTED!! WHOS LEA?? THE MOST AMAZING PERSON EVER. Original Mulan Singing Voice, one of the Best Eponine's in Les Miserables and the BEST Fantine in Les Miserables. There you go :) Thats who she is. :) Have a good day!
@ioTuaniZ What? WHAT? Lea Salonga was the original singer of this song, not Christina. Reflection was from the Disney movie Mulan and Lea Salonga was the singing voice for Mulan. Christina is talented, but she doesn't even enter the ballpark with Lea. Don't believe me? Listen to the soundtrack of Miss Saigon.
@DarkWitch5505 - Anastasia singing voice was by her friend, Liz Callaway.... They did a duet together... look for "I Still Believe" duet from Miss Saigon,
@DarkWitch5505 - Anastasia's singing voice is Liz Callaway who's also Lea's friend..... They did a duet in a concert... Search "I Still Believe" duet from Miss Saigon.
ive noticed that very few singers bring the same presence and power with their vocals live as they do in recordings....... Lea salonga and beyonce are the best ive heard live.... this is truly beautiful!!!
She's one of those few artists who just make you perfectly assured that every single note is reached, that there won't be any cracks or off-tune parts.
I'm not sure if her Microphone is too powerful, or if it is her diaphragm She sings very well but my I think the Korean actress Jo Jeung-eun can sing it better.
I just think america has changed her in a bad way , I mean yes she has an amasing voice but when she was younger she was raw and talented amazing still is but se ad the innocence now she has changed and im a little let down tis is just my humble opinion
@sophiesmurph I think a singer's voice changes as they age, so I guess her voice won't be the same. Also she's singing live, so the voice will most definatly change but I aree with you that her voice has changed from when she was younger. Still, she's the only one who can sing it though XD
Her voice has definitely gotten a bit deeper than in her original recording, but still better than Aguilera's cover. Maybe it's just the fact that it's a poor recording and microphone/acoustical system and not a studio...
That's what I love about Lea, she sings both the studio and live versions with no difference at all. The quality and the emotions she put on each version are both winners to me. Way to go Lea!
i wish i could sig like her, but that would be impossible. she's too good and i'm terrible.
