Lea Salonga VS Original Singers - Disney SONG Battle
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 02. 2019
- It's the 48th birthday of Disney legend Lea Salonga, who is not just the official singing voice of two Disney Princesses but has also covered many a Disney songs since time immemorial.
On this special day I decided to make this little 'Disney Song Battle' (another video series) in which I just compared her covers to the original singers of those particular songs.
In order to make the battle more fair, I added as many LIVE performances of the original singers as I could find (since ALL of Lea's covers are done LIVE)
The battle is divided into 11 rounds, which feature the following songs :-
1) When You Wish Upon A Star - Pinocchio
2) A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes - Cinderella
3) Someone's Waiting For You - The Rescuers
4) Part Of Your World - The Little Mermaid
5) Can You Feel The Love Tonight - The Lion King
6) Colors Of The Wind - Pocahontas
7) Go The Distance - Hercules
8) Journey To The Past - Anastasia
9) You'll Be In My Heart - Tarzan
10) The Climb - Hannah Montana The Movie
11) Let It Go - Frozen
My props to Lea for singing such a variety of songs and that too LIVE, she already has my respect. However, we're all still free to have preferences, and I'd love to know whom do you prefer in the following songs?

The 'Anastasia isn't Disney' squad PLEASE keep off 'cuz Disney is in its final stages of acquiring 20th Century Fox (which originally created Anastasia), hence, it IS INEVITABLY GOING TO BE A PART of the Disney family now. *MIC DROP*
Yesss

I'm pretty sure that Miss Lea Salonga is from Philippines...the land of talents
thankyou wow. we are so overwhelmed ^^ love from Phil
Your name shouldnt it be “LIAR”
Awh that's awesome cuz I live there
I'M FROM PHILIPPINES
Unique Corn 😂😂😂😂😂
Lea's crystal voice definitely suits on Disney movie songs...
But don't compare her renditions with the original singers...every song is remarkable for each original singers and also with Lea's Princess Jasmine and Mulan
👍
Someone said that we like the original more not because it's better but it's because we heard it first.
Yea. Kinda hard to say anybody is better than Elton John in singing Elton John songs...
Hercules, Anastasia, and (God forgive me Queen Idina) Elsa are my only exceptions to this but seriously you can’t pit Lea against even the most accomplished of singers. Disney uses different voices for a reason: character individuality
I agree. Our Lea is wonderful as always but the originals are also incredible.
When I was young boy I thought all Disney movie was sang by Lea he he he
ha ha ha, and are you now a young lady...
Me too😁
Same here
Me too hehehehe
Count me in
I would like her to sing Speechless, since she's the original Jasmine singer :)
Stephanie Kurisunkal yeeess
I agree!
yaaaasss
YESSS
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Why not change your title to "LEA SALONGA AND THE ORIGINALS."
👍
Correct!
I agree. Spread good vibes. No comparison, please.

If you hate competition, just get out of the arena and you'll live longer:)
There is no need to compare.. The Originals and Lea Salonga are great singers. Remember, Lea is also part of Disney’s theme song singers. She sang A whole New World in Aladdin and Reflection in Mulan. Every singer is unique and has a right song that fits their voice.
i agree. and those other singers were chosen for the song because it matches them and the part of the movie where the song will be played.
I agree with you
Clarity and diction is one of a kind. Even Regine Velasquez said that no other singer has a perfect pitch but her. She's a jewel.
diction as I Keep saying, is LEA's MAIN POWER, but she is a very intelligent woman.
she should cover speechless, after all she was the original jasmine
Am Filipino too, but just remove "vs.", coz it connotes a sense of competition. It is enough that Ms. Lea Salonga renders each song beautifully.
Correct
I'd say Lea has a gift that made her extra ordinary among the rest.. #Legendary 😍👍👍👍👍👍 I would acknowledge all original singers was good as they were..

Well Said !!
Yes
Lea is Lea❗but i believe she did the very best of her version 👍👍💯💯💯 BRAVO 👏👏👏👏👏🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I agree with your opinion.
I am a big fan of her
*BRAVA
There's a magic that old song has... like it brings you back to the time where it was first sang... makes me feel like I've lived before...
Same
Me too💕
Well said. Feel the same, especially that Pinocchio part.
Agree! I love Leah but there's something in the original singers that bring back memories when u hear it..
Lea is the queen of articulation and enunciation!!! Clarity thy name is Lea Salonga!!! 👍🎙🎶🎼🎵
😍😍😍
@@MS-xk7rd and wats this nonsense comment? LOL
AND diction is her MIDDLE NAME, her 1st talent is in COMMUNICATIONS, anyone in the Philippines can BELT out WHITNEY SONGS, but few can speak English with the proficiency of LEA SALONGA.
@@eduardochavacano the few percentage of their population you are not referring to are the ones who did not received a proper education or are from remote and rural areas. Filipino are known for their neutral accent in speaking the english language and are very fluent.
@@christevanns3059 I am familiar with the society, been to at least 40 provinces.
No comparison needed. There will be no cover without an original.
I agree!
Couldnt agree more
👍
Very well said...
Agree.
No comparison pls.... they are all great... thank u
maxtine rose chento agreed
👍
True.
there is always a comparison, that's why there's a word compare,,,,
👍👍👍
I just admire Lea's singing skills
And she's also well articulate ❤
Me too🤩
Why do we compare when Lea is even one of the originals? She’s just really fond of singing those disney songs because after all, it’s her disney family’s legacies. I mean, we’re sure the other disney singers also sing her songs! Heheheh! Proud of this Filipino talent! What a treasure!
As much as I love Lea’s singing, it doesn’t feel right comparing her version to the orignials’.
Me too. Im a filipino
Lea is amaaaaazing, and she could probably sing whatever you throw at her, but the personal flair that each different voice and singer brings to the songs is what makes the magic imo. Judy khun gives me goosebumps and idina menzels power is just 😍😍😍
Idina just screams. Judy is the most powerful.
@@Ihdc1 well, its wonderful how every person has different views and opinions that not everybody has to agree with :)
Disney songs are amazing because of the original singers. I can't imagine Jasmine and Mulan without Lea's voice. Thus each and everyone of the voices are treasures though it's always a joy to hear Lea's version. She's one phenomenal singer.
There is no comparison. They're all winners.
Lea Salonga is The Ultimate And the Only Broadway Diva of All time. ❤️
Did anyone wonder if lea salonga actually watched this video and was wondering 'man, i need to stop recreating these...its getting way too far'?
She has the most consistent voice, i love it. Lea is a true princess
The phil collin's you'll be in my heart always give me chills . Judy khun's version and grammy winning VanessaWilliam's colors of the wind also amazin
Lea is phenomenal!!!Lea is a gift to the Filipino people❤️ How I wish on my 25th wedding anniversary Lea will be our wedding singer🙏
Camila Escoto well all you gotta have is a lot of $$$ and a connection
Alexandra I know! Kaya wish na lang🥴. But I tell you, she will always be my forever favorite🌸
Lea Salonga deserves her "A whole new world" song
Lea is the queen of PRONUNCIATION, DICTION, ARTICULATION, CONVICTION and EMOTION 😍
I think with due respect to the original performer, Lea will not and never compare herself even if she sang it well. It is the audiences who make comparison.
When I was in Grade 1, Lea Salonga is already in our book. That's why when I graduated college considering that we don't have tv, I thought she is already very old.
I never even thought that her voice quality before and now didn't change even with her current age.
I was shocked when i learned that the original singer of mulan is Lea Salonga 😍😍😍
Same! No wonder she named as Disney Legend
And alladin,whole new world
And so was Jasmine in Alladin!
Same
@Ramon Manabat Just cause he's of German descent doesn't mean he's a Nazi in fact I just looked it up and it said that it was a rumor that got spread after he died.
I am from the Philippines, but they are ALL EQUALLY BEAUTIFUL RENDITIONS. Leah is a Powerhouse Talent but the other singers are Powerhouses of their own. I LOVE all of them!!!!❤😘😁👍
The originals all the way. Lea has an amazing voice but the originals touch a special place in your heart.
traczebabe that’s a very boring comment.
No for some I will say yes the originals are better but the fact that she has the passion and has her own special place in our hearts I’d say lea is better at some of them
Lea beats you haha
Originals all the way!
The Lea Salonga's voice is incomparable. She's the legit Crystal Voice not just in Philippines or Asia but the whole World.
The Universe rather
-Pia
Lea is my Top 1 favorite singer, but we don't have to compare her to others, or other singers with others singers. Each of them fits a certain character. I mean I would not gonna watch a show where all of characters would sound the same. There must be something distinct about them that people can easily identify.
Thanks for the compilation tho. 😃
Q
true...imagine simba and hercules sounds like lea
I respect the originals. However I can't deny I love miss Lea's voice so so much! 😘
Sa galing ni Ms. Lea Salonga dapat sya talaga Judge sa Philippine Idol. Not Moira and James. 🤔 Wrong move ABS CBN.
Yep true, Moira is not good at judging and James is so boring.
lol. james reid. philippine idol is a joke jeez.
I heard lea is busy with her career
Dami dami magagaling na singer sa pinas sila pa pinagjudge puro mukha tinitignan tignan mo si vice puro mukha ang pinapasok kahit ang sakit sa tenga nung boses.
naghahanda ata si miss lea sa the voice
Who already watched the frozen2
"into the unknown" hahahahsh
I would love to hear Lea sing Show Yourself ;)
Me. I loved the movie. Watched a few times to remember the songs as I keep singing the songs from the 1st part lol
I love lea salonga so much...cannot denied how amazing her voice...but for this time i still choose the original one...love it so much...make me remember with my childhood and thinlk so fast time flies...
I love both, no need comparison 💕
OMG!!!
Lea Salonga sounds exactly like Jodi Benson when singing part of that world!
When i hear the old songs of this disney movie its like bringing me back to my younger days.. I love there songs
Well its weird if all the princesses sounds the same.
hahaa even Hercules hahah
So used to the original.
Not tiana
Hagahahahaha
HAHAHAHA TOTOO
Sorry but tarzan song track is best the way it is
I agree, Lea's version is incredibly great but the original just feels right. Lea always sing with emotion but Phil Collins original version was already full of it, he sung it with all passion. Anyway, both are great singers.
Marithom Martinez Phil is one of my favorite singers
Is comparing even necessary? Respect to the original singers. Lea's voice always great, crystal clear, and beautiful. Broadway and Disney's gem.
Great job on the compilation! I appreciate all the time and effort on research and edit work! Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lea has continually preached that the key to versatile singing is to always put emotion into the performances. If it comes from the heart, the song will feel right. Hence, she's the only singer to be cast as two different Disney princesses (Jasmine and Mulan). Being an award-winning musical actress, she has often said that she's not impressed at all by vocal gymnastics if they don't complement the singer's interpretation of the lyrics.
P
thats true
Yes, although she only sang the song parts sung by both princesses.
@@flmc654mcrf4 Yeah, I said she was cast as a singer for both roles.
Oh, that is so true!!!

No need to compare.. The original singers are great and lea Salonga sang it well.. Every person has a unique voice and lea has it..
How come I just found this video. Thank you for coming up with this video
Leah's voice is cultured since she was young, but above all, she have the passion since she was little. and combine the two you get a perfect Disney Princess. to add to that, she is a perfectionist.
Every singer is unique and beautiful in his or her own way.
Lea Salonga is a living gem of the Philippines' pool of world-class talents.
She is a class of her own.
This only shows how versatile Lea is. Of course most of the people will prefer the original ones because we heard those versions first and we got used to it. Obviously there will be differences because they are unique in their own way.
Lea sings better.
No need to compare🙂
@@kyle_ramirez well its the whole point of this video.
Lea Salonga is so amazing. Really beautiful voice in Disney song.
But I think Part of your world. No one else can kill her ... Jodi Benson is the best. !!!
@@martdeleon5918 , A whole new world not I can show you the world.
Totally agreed 👏
Actually i thought lea salonga is the singing voice of ariel in the little mermaid cause they sounded alike. I didnt know jodi benson then☺
Sweet Cake please check it out this link. You’ll know her and love her. Original voice of Ariel
czcams.com/video/AWTJkyLWgrk/video.html
Jodi Benson, phew... Love her
Lea wins everytime except in 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight' where it's a tie
Yeah right you can’t compare her to Jodi Benson
No body could beat the originals but lea did amazing
Listening to the old versions makes me sad. Old soul here. They never fails me down. Love them then now and to my next lifetime.
I really admire LEA SALONGA's singing skills...😍💖😍 I wish I could be like her....😍💖😁
Me too♡♡♡
Me Three!
They are both amazing and great in singing...
I agree with many of you, some "originals" are still better than Lea, but that does not disses her amazing work, and the way she seems to play them. She´s so versatile.
I mean, the real reason why I like Lea Salonga so much is because her voice IS STILL AMAZING. Why? Because she has a proper technique and while I can love and like the original songs, maybe because I grew up with them, what makes me think so great about her is her capacity to keep her voice healthy while other singers can´t sing the way they used to.
That is the real reason I admire Lea. Not because she "can sing it better" OR MAYBE NOT, than anyone. But because she still has a voice to show us. How many other singers can do that for THAT LONG? Not many. Probably there´s some others that can do it too, but seriously, not MANY can keep their voice in such condition. *MIC DROP*
what if it was vice versa? and you grew up with lea as the original singer of those songs? would you still prefer the originals as if they were the one who recreated or made a cover of those songs?
Lea always does the best version of every song she sings. Much respect to the composers and original singers who sang the featured songs.
I love this post because I get to hear all these great songs in two great ways. It never bothers me to hear covers.
I think lea salonga is a great singer but I think in regards with the song colours of the wind Judy Kuhn would always be the best.
I’m head over heels for Jodi Benson’s voice...she practically sang me to sleep every night when I was a small child
Right me too! That woman can sing
So.... Won't anyone even say how amazing the creator of this video is because they were able to somehow collate Lea singing these songs? Along with the videos of the original singers singing it in the studio?
I like both. The originals are great but she brings a lovely new version with her talented clear voice! I could listen to either and be perfectly happy!
Wrong title. This is NOT a battle. We're just blessed that we have these amazing singers share their amazing voices to us.
Think Lea sings "Let It Go" with more enthusiasm than ldina Menzel...my opinion!
the song is still a very horrible song.
Don't you mean Adele Dazeem?
M. K. The chick who sang it in the movie, Frozen.
@@Rickm2003 Joking. Google John Travolta introducing idina menzel
M. K. Ok
Nothing beats the classic and the original. But still, Lea Salonga sings disney song too, and shes one of the best singer in the world.
All the singers have great voices on their own rights but nothing beats the great sound of a well tuned Orchestra.😘
Hermoso video. Felicitaciones.
Both amazing!!!😍
Lea won all but cliff, michael. and idina. She is a very versatile singer.
Idina can't sing. She shouts.
@@Ihdc1 finally someone who feels the same.
She did not beat Jodi Benson. Stop.
It's funny. I've always adored Lea's Disney work, but I've never been crazy about her musical (Broadway) work. Nevertheless, she has a fantastic voice! I've always admired her vocal skills.
Mari Rebecca have you heard her versions of I Dreamed a Dream and On My Own from Les Mis? I thought those were pretty good
@@mccallmemaybe_ You forgot Miss Saigon.
Well i loved her as Fantine. Saw her in Broadway in NY a few years back.
So great....amazing gift of voice. You always nail it Lea!
I loooove all versions! Lea is incomparable! ❤️❤️❤️
Proud to be LEA SALONGA FANS ..THE LEGEND THE VERSATILE.🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼
Original versions are still the best. The level of nostalgia given is inevitable. The magic they bring to the song is just irreplaceable. Especially Cinderella’s song. That is just magical. Also, Lion King’s song, my childhood is right in that voice.
Agreed. There’s something about Ilene Woods’ voice that tugs at your heart
True that!
Leah is a very versatile singer and has very good dynamics in singing.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 But I don't think comparison is needed. They are all great.
Wtf. LIZ CALLAWAY sounded as perfect for age!
Colors of the wind: What probably makes Lea sound better on this one is because of the live powerful orchestra, trust me it makes a huge difference
nothing can beat the original. it may not be as good for others compared to their preferred covers but the originals became part of a lot of people's childhood and became something very nostalgic.
Nothing can beat the original? Haha but miss saigon miss lea salonga beat the original sing
@@christianxhanyou5729 did you even read my second sentence?
FYI dude miss lea salonga is the princess of disney she is called miss saigon legend singer in the world so she chose to be the princess of disney because her voice is disney and good english accents and she is legend
@@christianxhanyou5729 i never said anything about miss lea salonga's covers not being good enough so why are you bringing up her titles? i just said that although the originals aren't as good as lea's covers for other people, it still became something that is very dear and nostalgic to a lot of people's memory.
@Neeron F I know you will never said anything wrong of miss lea but i just told you about her dud and you read my comment first well that what i mean so im just saying
I love lea the way she deliver the songs ever time she sang, Full of emotions and touch my soul. Stress reliever whenever I listen to her.
Would be cool if someone can slice this and make it a duet of all these beautiful songs
Lea's clarity when Singing was very crystal clear, but I think it's not necessary to compare with each other they both did great.
I love lea so much but the originals are better . ❤️I love all of em 🌹❤️Why compare? Really.
The singing voice of Lea has changed. When she was in her 20's and teen years. Her voice was magical.
This vid. The originals are still unbeatble.
The originals and Lea Salonga’s voice are both beautiful. please don’t compare them.
This doesn't need to be a "battle" - people can appreciate the original compared to Lea's performances of these songs. The main point is that Lea is an amazing singer and sounds fantastic singing all these songs. FYI: there is also a very old video of Lea singing "Beauty and the Beast" (from the early 90s - not great quality) and "How Far I'll Go" from "Moana" (Lea is singing this on tour right now and it sounds so good).
Lea is one of my favorite singers but every singer really has their own masterpiece. All originals sounded better because they are as you said originals. Each song were supposed to be sung the way the originals sang it. No question about it. Lea's rendition is also good in her key. Just like what happened in searching for Kim's role in Miss Saigon. They have searched around the world and found Kim's voice in Lea. Hence, no need to compare.
I agree the originals will always be the originals but you can’t take credit away from Lea. 11 different singers and she hit the ball out of the park!
Honestly the true Disney princess 👑
She enunciates each word that you can even write the lyrics while she is singing it.
Not going to pass any judgment until she competes against the singing voices for Jasmine and Mulan. If she can beat those voices, Lea wins 😉😁😆
Lol
Lea Salonga sings for Mulan though
@@GabrielaHernandez-is4qq
-- the joke -->
your head
@@ZhangtheGreat oof just realised
Disney and 20th Century Fox actually worked together in making "Anastasia"
there's just something about Lea's voice that you will not get bored hearing about it four hours and hours
I love Lea, but it's the originals that's been stuck in my head since my childhood😍
I think Lea sang the Pocahontas theme, Journey To The Past, The Climb & Let It Go better.
I think she really made the song "Someone's waiting for you" sound so lovely.😍
Original still beautiful...soft, calm and relaxing.
Nostalgic at its best.
I really enjoy this video and keep coming back to it. However I’ve said before - I don’t think it’s necessary to use “versus” and “won” when discussing Lea’s covers. They are Lea’s own versions of songs that people love (this is why people make covers). I would love for someone to do another video that doesn’t ask people to choose a winner AND includes “Beauty and the Beast” (there is a video of Lea in the 90s singing it solo) and Lea singing “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana in her tour last year.
