Her performance reminds me of a teenage girl's voice when they've never been in love, and they are telling you (the first one, ever) that they love you, and to please don't break their heart. It's a huge responsibility, and everything must be calculated to perfection. A girl's first love is a sacred thing, and must not be taken lightly. It's not a weekend fling, it's a young woman's first foray into a deep, dark forest of intense new emotion... and that's what comes through in her performance, the breathless newness of it all. I think she was wonderful.
Courtney Reed was perfect, her intentional "lack of breath" and "overdone" emotions are just showing how excited and thrilled Jasmine is when she's riding a magic carpet with Aladdin
Are you people kidding me? This girl has a FANTASTIC voice and her interpretation was brilliant. Can't imagine many of you being able to sing half as well of her. Less hate and more love!
I think Courtney Reed (Jasmine) is simply embracing the situation. If you were riding through the clouds on a magic carpet while singing your heart out, chances are you'd feel pretty bewildered, and that emotion would flow into your voice, and that's exactly what she's done here.
I don't really get why some people say that she sang awfully.. When I listen to her voice, I can feel the emotion, the love and that sense of wonder that Jasmine feels during the scene. Who cares if that note isn't as high as the original song? The important thing when you act isn't just "singing", you have to give something, you have to believe in every single word you sing. And I think Courtney did it just perfectly.
As a non-singer I'm going to add, you sing with your heart, not just your voice. I can both act and sing, but only a little, not professionally, and I can't reach the high notes. So, yeah, I *sort of* know what it's like, and I also know what I like. And they don't have to be perfect and they don't have to be opera singers. They just have to be *good*. Saw a Brigadoon several years ago that I cannot forget (not the Broadway one, just our local cultural center one here in Colorado) and their Fiona was lovely and I'm sure she could sing far better than I can but she was probably not the most professional. Their Tommy was *too* professional for my taste. He sang so well it was practically scary (as in a bit daunting if you are trying to sing those songs and you do not realize that they don't have to be sung like that). Turned out though that he could sing better than he could act. He was not a terrible actor but his heart was just not really quite in it enough, or if it was then he knew not how to show it just right, somehow. Their Fiona was the one who absolutely carried the show. Her and a few of the "supporting role" ones. They were great. It was a good show. ^____^
Chiara: I think it is sort of like when people say how they think Vanessa Redgrave "can't sing" just because she can't...sing like Julie Andrews. (See posts at "The Lusty Month of May" video. The one from the Camelot movie.) Please. Obviously *no one* can sing *like Julie Andrews* except for Julie Andrews. So what for pete's sake is their problem? Come on.
And then there are the people who go around RUclips saying that Julie Andrews is "underrated". Please. I love her too but she is *not* underrated, at all, or at least, not usually. People just have to complain about something. Don't they? Sigh.
Comments for this video are: 98% - People telling others to stop complaining about the actors’ voices 2% - People actually complaining about the actors’ voices
I think majority of the negative ones were angry Filipinos who were the first to comment if you further scroll down comparing Courtney's voice to Lea's.... (eye roll)
Adam and Courtney are such fabulous performers. Both of them have spectacular voices! And I don't think it's fair to criticize courtney like that. She's portraying A. a Disney princess B. a teenaged girl And C. Complaining that courtney got "too into it" is ridiculous. It proves how emotional and passionate she is about the story. Also keep in mind these people aren't studio artists. they're used to singing in a huge theatre and having to overdo the emotion. That's part of stage acting, every action or emotion has to be somewhat exaggerated for the proper effect. Oh and D. They're trying to be original. They're not gonna sound just like the originals. I mean what's the point? If you wanna hear that version and not something a bit different then watch the movie. Both arrangements are great, but they have to keep it fresh. And as for Adam he's a sweetheart. I love him so much. He portrayes Aladdin's boyish charm so well!
I AGREE WITH YOU!! I always wonder why do peoples criticize this version.. its so nice okay? they're voices are SO AMAZING and FANTASTIC.. it makes my heart flutter and giving me goosebumps for such a really deep voice of Adam and such beautiful and soothing voixe of Courtney.. what's the matter of their voices? maybe the peoples who critisize them are too high in standart.. i'm still confused why is this version critisized..
Livia ONEW YOU AND ME BOTH!! I had the honor of working with Adam last month in a workshop and he and Tia (jasmine u/s) were BRILLIANT! especially Adam. His voice is to die for and even better live! He is now one of my favorite performers for sure. :)
Hannah Harrelson You had an honour to work with Adam!?!?! Whoaaaa i'm so happy for you.. i would really want to meet them!! At least an autograph hueeeee i'm obsessed with this song and kept on replaying it like.. thousand timesssss
Haha I still listen to the soundtrack non-stop! And yes I got to meet Adam, Tia Altinay, and AnnBritt Dechateux (I spelt that wrong haha) who is one of the musical directors of Aladdin. They were all so Nice! theres a video of Adam singing a whole new world with Tia on my Instagram :) @ hannahharrelson
I think people are forgetting that this is a Broadway Musical and not the Animated Movie, of course it sounds different, it's supposed to sound theatrical because BROADWAY.
While I do prefer the original, I really like this version, it feels refreshing, I think I understand what they were trying to portray, and they handled this recording very well. Props to the singers (wish I knew their names though).
Oh my goodness everyone has to stop comparing this to the original. It's very different from the original but it is unique and beautiful in its own way. So are the voices, Adam Jacobs and Courtney Reed. The original and this version are both incredible.
I can show you the world Shining, shimmering, splendid Tell me, princess, now when did You last let your heart decide? I can open your eyes Take you wonder by wonder Over sideways and under On a magic carpet ride A whole new world A new fantastic point of view No one to tell us ""No"" Or where to go Or say we're only dreaming A whole new world A dazzling place I never knew But now from way up here It's crystal clear that now I'm in a whole new world with you Unbelievable sights Indescribable feeling Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling Through an endless diamond sky A whole new world Don't you dare close your eyes A hundred thousand things to see Hold your breath - it gets better I'm like a shooting star I've come so far I can't go back to where I used to be A whole new world Every turn a surprise With new horizons to pursue Every moment gets better I'll chase them anywhere There's time to spare Let me share this whole new world with you A whole new world (A whole new world) A new fantastic point of view No one to tell us ""No"" Or where to go Or say we're only dreaming A whole new world Every turn a surprise With new horizons to pursue Every moment, red letter I'll chase them anywhere There's time to spare I'll chase them anywhere There's time to spare Let me share this whole new world with you A whole new world A whole new world That's where we'll be That's where we'll be A thrilling chase A wondrous place For you and me"
To anyone who hasn't seen this on Broadway, I absolutely recommend it. This song is the most breathtaking thing I have ever seen. Period. To anyone who has questions as to what happens onstage at any certain parts I am happy to answer questions
I saw the original cast & heard this Aladdin & Jasmine sing it. When I heard that this favorite childhood movie of mine was coming to Broadway, I felt like Broadway had came back to life ever since the closing of my all time favorite musical "RENT." God bless Disney for bringing my childhood to life onto the theatre stage.
@@lucianoalonso4389 I take off Mamma Mia off the favorites list. Aladdin Rent and Mamma Mia are all equally awesome. Taking Mamma Mia's place is Hello Dolly
Love their voice so much!!! especially hers!! made me melt! Its like shes really exploring a whole new world, and to thirst for more new stuff. best version to me!!! I also love cartoon version. Both of them are great! 好喜歡他們的聲音!! 特別是女生的♥ 融化~~~ 好像她真的在閱覽一個嶄新的世界，渴望了解更多新事物 我目前最喜歡的版本♥ 當然原版也很喜歡! 兩個都很棒!!
I know some people don't like it, but remember, they are trying to differentiate from the movie. They aren't trying to replicate it, I know Jasmine does sound a little forced but I think that's just a result of her acting really really excited. I think Aladdin sounds good, they're trying to go for some thing different which I understand
For someone who has done Aladdin and knows the music, they did this so amazing. Cortney has a amazing voice and she has so much emotion to her voice. Adam, I'm astounded by how he did this as well. Such great performers. I love this so much.
1) stop complaining about Courtney Reed's voice and how the notes are "too high" she's playing a teenaged princess who just got swept off her feet onto a MAGIC CARPET!!! and also i saw this live and courtney was so incredible! she's also been in in the heights sooooo 2) don't complain about adam's pauses in the beginning. he didn't write the music. he's doing his job and following the sheet music. 3) don't compare them to the movie cast. an actors job is to have their own interpretation of the character. theatre wouldn't be fun if everyone was a copy of the original. they're getting paid to be new :)
Then it's not necessarily Adam's fault, unless of course he wasn't following the sheet music. Of course, it could be the fault of whoever adapted the movie to the broadway version.
I love the original version but this version makes me cry. It's so beautiful. The orchestra builds so well and I can feel so much emotion in the way they take on this song. It's beautiful ❤️
The beginning honestly sounds like "On My Own" from Les Miserables... I still prefer the Brad Kane and Lea Salonga version, it's just so full of magic I don't think anyone could really compare. Don't get me wrong, but this version is in it's own way great as well.
To be perfectly honest, I really do love this version especially when the bells come in when Aladdin sings in the beginning; it really gives you a sense of flying and going into the sky and up in the stars and gives you that feeling of wonder and awe from seeing things for the first time
Naomi Scott is more beautiful to play princess Jasmine I want her and Adam Jacob working together but I would work with him Naomi Scott someday in Aladdin we work together on Broadway My voice was sound just like Adam
Everything is better on broadway! Wonderful paced piece, at first I was like 'what up with Aladdin' but if one lets it all play you see the masterful pacing which the performers have set. Never give away your whole performance at the start.
My childhood has just coming soon.. Listen to this musical and this song makes me the best thing I ever heard in my life. Also, I loved the movie I have watched a few hours ago! Fantastic.
everyone's hating on the voice of jasmine but lets be honest, you are all comparing her to the original voice and that was freaking lea salonga...not exactly a fair comparison. maybe if they hadn't waited so many years lea could've played the role and everyone could get off this girls back.
Bruh. I wouldn't have even for one second thought the actress was a bad singer if it weren't for everyone talking about how other people think she's a "bad singer". She's clearly an exceptionally talented singer, she's just acting as well. I thought she was gonna be bad or cringey....but no. She just sounded like a princess singing beautifully.
Same here. I will love to go see this Disney Broadway show in Manhattan, New York City, New York. But goes dark again due to surging COVID-19 cases in New York State.😔
I saw this on Broadway when I went to NYC and I was hooked on Aladdin. It's amazing. I like it more than the movie tbh it's so amazing I love it so much.
I liked the movie version more. I’m glad Naomi sang it her own way and didn’t try to imitate Lea because most of the comments are comparing Courtney to Lea
People are telling others to stop commenting about her voice but honestly I havnt found a single hate comment... only one about the lyrics and the rest are "dont hate on her!!!"
I want to see the braodway musical in New York, OMG, the only thing is that, it would be hard to get a oxegen tank on a airplane and bring extras just incase to have it last through the whole musical, but I thought I would like this song until James Monroe Iglehart sung it that it just surprised me cause this is really the first time in African American history I think for a African American to really potray the Genie and take over the role for Robin Williams in the original film, I mean if Robin saw his character up on the broadway stage now, he would be surprised so to James, thank you for granting all of my wishes at becoming the first African American Genie
Aladdin You must feel trapped inside these walls We'll run away, just you and me Why not escape as evening falls? Theres a whole world you've yet to see Jasmine (Spoken) If I go with you, will it be safe? Aladdin (Spoken) Sure...Do you trust me? I Jasmine (Spoken) What did you just say? Aladdin (Spoken) Do you trust me? Jasmine (Spoken) I'm not sure why, but...yes] Aladdin I can show you the world Shining, shimmering, splendid Tell me, princess, now when did You last let your heart decide? I can open your eyes Take you wonder by wonder Over, sideways and under On a magic carpet ride A whole new world A new fantastic point of view No one to tell us no or where to go Or say we're only dreaming Jasmine A whole new world A dazzling place I never knew But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear That now I'm in a whole new world with you Aladdin Now I'm in a whole new world with you Jasmine Unbelievable sights Indescribable feeling Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling Through an endless diamond sky Jasmine A whole new world Aladdin Don't you dare close your eyes Jasmine A hundred thousand things to see Aladdin Hold your breath, it gets better Jasmine I'm like a shooting star I've come so far I can't go back To where I used to be Aladdin A whole new world Princess Jasmine Every turn a surprise Aladdin With new horizons to pursue Jasmine Every moment gets better Both I'll chase them anywhere There's time to spare Let me share this whole new world with you ~Instrumental Break~ Jasmine A whole new world Aladdin Don't you dare close your eyes Jasmine A hundred thousand things to see Aladdin Hold your breath, it gets better Jasmine I'm like a shooting star I've come so far I can't go back To where I used to be Aladdin A whole new world Princess Jasmine Every turn a surprise Aladdin With new horizons to pursue Jasmine Every moment gets better Both I'll chase them anywhere There's time to spare Let me share this whole new world with you Aladdin A whole new world Jasmine A whole new world Aladdin That's where we'll be Jasmine That's where we'll be Aladdin A thrilling chase... Jasmine A wondrous place... Both For you and me
It's just a brief reprise of A Million Miles Away. I'm sure it's not what people asked for, but it does provide a nice link between the songs, almost as though Aladdin can't help but be himself around Jasmine, even if he is in disguise.
aDAM jACOBS AND COURTNEY REED YOU ARE SO AMAZING IN THE CAST RECORDING i FEEL TO THIS SONG BECAUSE MY HEART MELTS TO THE SONG i HAVE MY VOICE jUST LIKE YOU
Jay Cann yeh it would have been better if he sang on the beat instead of behind it trying to be all soulful or whatever. I think it's a broadway singer thing.

i realize it is kind of off topic but does anyone know a good website to stream newly released movies online?
@Austin Edgar flixportal xD
@Damari Henrik Thanks, I went there and it seems to work :) I appreciate it!!
@Austin Edgar Glad I could help :D
Are you people kidding me? This girl has a FANTASTIC voice and her interpretation was brilliant. Can't imagine many of you being able to sing half as well of her. Less hate and more love!
I didn't think Courtney did that bad.
She sings like and angel crossed bread with a mermaid 🥰🎶
I think Courtney Reed (Jasmine) is simply embracing the situation. If you were riding through the clouds on a magic carpet while singing your heart out, chances are you'd feel pretty bewildered, and that emotion would flow into your voice, and that's exactly what she's done here.
I love the tiny changes in the composition, it's so much more Broadway than the original. Adam Jacobs and Courtney Reed KILLED IT.
I don't really get why some people say that she sang awfully.. When I listen to her voice, I can feel the emotion, the love and that sense of wonder that Jasmine feels during the scene.

preforming to the audience is different! thats my best guess. its just new or unfamiliar to people with cadence.

doesn't matter if they've changed...this was the recording of the original broadway cast.............
Now let’s compare it to the new live action version

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us ""No""
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But now from way up here
It's crystal clear
that now I'm in a
whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment gets better
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this
whole new world with you
A whole new world
(A whole new world)
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us ""No""
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment, red letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this
whole new world with you
A whole new world
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me"
THANKS I LOVE YOU QwQ
To anyone who hasn't seen this on Broadway, I absolutely recommend it. This song is the most breathtaking thing I have ever seen. Period. To anyone who has questions as to what happens onstage at any certain parts I am happy to answer questions
I do hope the show comes to Costa Mesa before the live action remake comes out Summer 2019
I saw the original cast & heard this Aladdin & Jasmine sing it. When I heard that this favorite childhood movie of mine was coming to Broadway, I felt like Broadway had came back to life ever since the closing of my all time favorite musical "RENT." God bless Disney for bringing my childhood to life onto the theatre stage.
My favorite musicals have to be Grease, Memphis, Mamma Mia, Oklahoma, A Chorus Line, Motown, Newsies and White Christmas.
@@manuelorozco7760 the only 1 I saw that's on your list is Mama Mia. I've seen many musicals, but Aladdin and RENT are my favorites.
@@lucianoalonso4389 I take off Mamma Mia off the favorites list. Aladdin Rent and Mamma Mia are all equally awesome. Taking Mamma Mia's place is Hello Dolly
@@manuelorozco7760 my next shows to see are Harry Potter and Beetlejuice
@@lucianoalonso4389 Not sure if I will see either. But I am hoping to see Anastasia on tour in November.
Love their voice so much!!! especially hers!! made me melt! Its like shes really exploring a whole new world, and to thirst for more new stuff. best version to me!!! I also love cartoon version. Both of them are great!
好喜歡他們的聲音!! 特別是女生的♥ 融化~~~
好像她真的在閱覽一個嶄新的世界，渴望了解更多新事物
我目前最喜歡的版本♥
當然原版也很喜歡! 兩個都很棒!!
the jasmine sounds beautiful! like she is overwhelmed and getting teary eyed
This version is magical .. omg i love it.. her voice fits to the character.. theres magic when she sings it..
This melody is just unbelievably pretty, no matter how it's sung.
Honestly I think Courtney has one of the best voices on broadway right now
I know some people don't like it, but remember, they are trying to differentiate from the movie. They aren't trying to replicate it, I know Jasmine does sound a little forced but I think that's just a result of her acting really really excited. I think Aladdin sounds good, they're trying to go for some thing different which I understand
Garrett Hoy that's usually how Disney on Broadway works
The only Disney on Broadway show I've seen was Newsies so I get what you mean. But I do hope to see Aladdin sometime
For someone who has done Aladdin and knows the music, they did this so amazing. Cortney has a amazing voice and she has so much emotion to her voice. Adam, I'm astounded by how he did this as well. Such great performers. I love this so much.
Adam's line 2:20-2:22 makes me melt every time
Cathy Caamano lyrics?
Ashish Sharma those two seconds when he finishes the “and new horizons to pursue” line
I don’t understand why people don’t like this I’m in Love they both sound amazing
1) stop complaining about Courtney Reed's voice and how the notes are "too high" she's playing a teenaged princess who just got swept off her feet onto a MAGIC CARPET!!! and also i saw this live and courtney was so incredible! she's also been in in the heights sooooo
2) don't complain about adam's pauses in the beginning. he didn't write the music. he's doing his job and following the sheet music.
3) don't compare them to the movie cast. an actors job is to have their own interpretation of the character. theatre wouldn't be fun if everyone was a copy of the original. they're getting paid to be new
:)
Emma G I agree I also saw the show live in NY they did amazing wish I could watch it a million times😍
Nigga it's just critique chill
Preach!!
Then it's not necessarily Adam's fault, unless of course he wasn't following the sheet music. Of course, it could be the fault of whoever adapted the movie to the broadway version.
People can “complain” about anything when it’s on RUclips. Doesn’t make it fair or right but it’s allow not fair or right to try to silence others
nostalgic ...golden era of 90's... :)
+Krishanu Mukherjee yep
I love how the instrumentals during the first chorus are light with the piano.
Is no one gonna talk about the new beginning part with Aladdin? Had me smiling so much
I like this and the original, this has a "broadway" feel like it is supposed to. Wonderful.
I love the original version but this version makes me cry. It's so beautiful. The orchestra builds so well and I can feel so much emotion in the way they take on this song. It's beautiful ❤️
Seriously I'm crying now. What beautiful melody......
The beginning honestly sounds like "On My Own" from Les Miserables... I still prefer the Brad Kane and Lea Salonga version, it's just so full of magic I don't think anyone could really compare. Don't get me wrong, but this version is in it's own way great as well.
It's not just me! Haha when I heard those first few notes of the song I started singing on my own :-D
emnem57 I know right!
Omg! I was thinking the exact same thing!
same here!!! but....either On My Own or A Whole New World, Lea Salonga is STILL THE BEST!!!!!
Haha, the moment I heard those notes I was like "WHERE HAVE I HEARD THIS?"
To be perfectly honest, I really do love this version especially when the bells come in when Aladdin sings in the beginning; it really gives you a sense of flying and going into the sky and up in the stars and gives you that feeling of wonder and awe from seeing things for the first time
I love when he says, "Sure! Do you trust me?" Idk why it just makes me so happy!
GOOSEBUMPS!!!
This is a beautiful rendition.
Beautiful....simply beautiful
Lea and Courtney are the best Jasmines they bring out her innocence, awe, wonder, and excitement
I love this cast so much. Amazing job Adam & Courtney!!!
I love this version! It's so beautiful, and I love how their voices blend together. It sounds so refreshing!
Naomi Scott is more beautiful to play princess Jasmine I want her and Adam Jacob working together but I would work with him Naomi Scott someday in Aladdin we work together on Broadway My voice was sound just like Adam
Everything is better on broadway! Wonderful paced piece, at first I was like 'what up with Aladdin' but if one lets it all play you see the masterful pacing which the performers have set.
Never give away your whole performance at the start.
Does anyone else feel like the 1st line sounds like it is from Phantom of the Opera?
Or "On My Own" from Les Mis?
+kagreel a little!
it sounds like "on my own" from les miserables :-)
The one who is Aladdin was in les mis lol
+kagreel hahah totally sounds like "on my own" hahaha
Yeah, it's got a very similar feel to it. :-)
I personally love her, her voice has so much emotion to it ❤️
I saw it in NYC it was amazing I love it
Same!!
My childhood has just coming soon.. Listen to this musical and this song makes me the best thing I ever heard in my life.
Also, I loved the movie I have watched a few hours ago! Fantastic.
I love Jasmines voice bro she sounds so happy
music is subjective.... everyone has an opinion. You can't deny she's giving 110%, I appreciate that more than if I like her voice or not.
everyone's hating on the voice of jasmine but lets be honest, you are all comparing her to the original voice and that was freaking lea salonga...not exactly a fair comparison. maybe if they hadn't waited so many years lea could've played the role and everyone could get off this girls back.
Bruh. I wouldn't have even for one second thought the actress was a bad singer if it weren't for everyone talking about how other people think she's a "bad singer". She's clearly an exceptionally talented singer, she's just acting as well. I thought she was gonna be bad or cringey....but no. She just sounded like a princess singing beautifully.
I love this scene !!! Those set designs for the starring night and the floating magic carpet were phenomenal!!!
I love this version so much they sound amazing!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Same here. I will love to go see this Disney Broadway show in Manhattan, New York City, New York. But goes dark again due to surging COVID-19 cases in New York State.😔
I love this version so much!
I shed some happy tears at this scene, it was so spectacular :') The London show was a masterpiece!
I saw this on Broadway when I went to NYC and I was hooked on Aladdin. It's amazing. I like it more than the movie tbh it's so amazing I love it so much.
SO BEAUTIFUL ALADDIN JASMINE AND THE INST. ALL PERFECT TO ME
Truly magical
I saw the Aladdin play and it was amazing!!
I just realized today that I like this version more than the movie version, its more magical for me.
I liked the movie version more. I’m glad Naomi sang it her own way and didn’t try to imitate Lea because most of the comments are comparing Courtney to Lea
Reed rocked it. As usual. Proud of her.
Reed. As in COURTNEY REED. The girl singing the part of Jasmine.
Wife and I saw the play during the winter holidays. I'd see it again:)
People are telling others to stop commenting about her voice but honestly I havnt found a single hate comment... only one about the lyrics and the rest are "dont hate on her!!!"
I have goosebumps all up my arms
The best song of the night 😍 😍 😍 😍 never can I forget the musical in my life
This has been on repeat
Still, this is going to be the BEST version of all Aladdin remake/interpretation
Respati Dwi agreed!!!!
I cry every time I hear this song. Jasmine is my favorite princess. 🥺
I don't think it's her singing that's putting people off, it's just different harmonies.
Lia Harlin
Good point
Who is here after the new Aladdin movie
👇 Like here to let everyone know that Aladdin is the best movie in the world.
Lea Salonga and Courtney Reed just sounds like an angel
This is beyond beautiful like its beautiful BEAUTIFUL. 🧡
pretty much this song and 'never had a friend like me' r the best song in the history of songs
I will listen to this song until I know the words by heart!!!!!👍👍👍👍
imagine having this kind of love
I want to see the braodway musical in New York, OMG, the only thing is that, it would be hard to get a oxegen tank on a airplane and bring extras just incase to have it last through the whole musical, but I thought I would like this song until James Monroe Iglehart sung it that it just surprised me cause this is really the first time in African American history I think for a African American to really potray the Genie and take over the role for Robin Williams in the original film, I mean if Robin saw his character up on the broadway stage now, he would be surprised so to James, thank you for granting all of my wishes at becoming the first African American Genie
I saw it on Broadway & it made me feel like I was 5 again singing this song
Lucky, i'm really jealous at you, I want to go see it
but the problem is is that I have COPD which means it would be hard to get a oxygen tank on a plane and it would be expensive
x'D i hope arabs get to play jasmine and aladdin lol
I want to see the broadway too!!!!
Aladdin
You must feel trapped inside these walls
We'll run away, just you and me
Why not escape as evening falls?
Theres a whole world you've yet to see
Jasmine
(Spoken) If I go with you, will it be safe?
Aladdin
(Spoken) Sure...Do you trust me? I
Jasmine
(Spoken) What did you just say?
Aladdin
(Spoken) Do you trust me?
Jasmine
(Spoken) I'm not sure why, but...yes]
Aladdin
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
Jasmine
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Aladdin
Now I'm in a whole new world with you
Jasmine
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
Jasmine
A whole new world
Aladdin
Don't you dare close your eyes
Jasmine
A hundred thousand things to see
Aladdin
Hold your breath, it gets better
Jasmine
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back
To where I used to be
Aladdin
A whole new world
Princess Jasmine
Every turn a surprise
Aladdin
With new horizons to pursue
Jasmine
Every moment gets better
Both
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
~Instrumental Break~
Jasmine
A whole new world
Aladdin
Don't you dare close your eyes
Jasmine
A hundred thousand things to see
Aladdin
Hold your breath, it gets better
Jasmine
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back
To where I used to be
Aladdin
A whole new world
Princess Jasmine
Every turn a surprise
Aladdin
With new horizons to pursue
Jasmine
Every moment gets better
Both
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
Aladdin
A whole new world
Jasmine
A whole new world
Aladdin
That's where we'll be
Jasmine
That's where we'll be
Aladdin
A thrilling chase...
Jasmine
A wondrous place...
Both
For you and me
This sounds wonderful and romantic!!!
Beside the opening lyrics, I love this version!
I saw it on Broadway & it made me feel like I was 5 again singing this song
@Luciano Alonso that's great! How was the show? How are the other songs? Is it as good as Mermaid or Mary Poppins?
I have to say I'm quite let down by the start of it. I prefer Aladdin Spectacular start with the heavily orchestrated intro.
It's just a brief reprise of A Million Miles Away. I'm sure it's not what people asked for, but it does provide a nice link between the songs, almost as though Aladdin can't help but be himself around Jasmine, even if he is in disguise.
Oh my god. Courtney's voice is such a wonder. 😍.
i can listen this all day
At 1:48 she says "snights."
Yeah.. terrible. Someone should have checked that better in editing.
LOL. Just terrible.
HAHAHAHAH omg she does a HAHAHAHH
OMG
It only sounds like that because she’s also taking a breath to sing the rest of the song
I'd love to see that show
I am seeing the show in March
It was magical when I didn’t see the wires when the carpet flies 🤩
Love it. Nothing tops the original, but I really do love it.
i love this song it gives me happy cries
I just love her voice
Went to see this in London, I loved it!
I think we can all agree this is the best A Whole New World.
I love Lea Salonga's voice
best version EVER
1:44 chills
Everyone in the comments: stop hating on Courtney
No one in the comments: hating on Courtney
I loved the song
I'd love to see this on Broadway!
beautiful song
aDAM jACOBS AND COURTNEY REED YOU ARE SO AMAZING IN THE CAST RECORDING i FEEL TO THIS SONG BECAUSE MY HEART MELTS TO THE SONG i HAVE MY VOICE jUST LIKE YOU
Love this song!!
I saw this about a week or two ago, and I LOVED IT❤️
the beginnng is very out of time and is irritating but it gets better
Jay Cann yeh it would have been better if he sang on the beat instead of behind it trying to be all soulful or whatever. I think it's a broadway singer thing.
That is how they are told to sing it
When people complain that the original's are better it annoys me because they can't always be the characters.
Beautiful
I always well up listening to this ❤️
The both are amazing
