The only non princess who bravely faced the foes not for a prince or romantic love but the love for her father ❤️❤️❤️ You will always be my number one! 😭
l come from China. This movie means a lot to me. I am an only child in my family which means i have to take on all the responsibilities for the whole family alone when my parents are getting older and older. Meanwhile, i have to fight against some unfair treatment on women from time to time. MULAN is just a great example for me.She is not a princess but a common girl just like you and me facing with the same delimma.I got lots of power from her when l was very nervous and exhausted. I gusse maybe this is why the story of MULAN can be spread worldwide and reserved for thousands of years.
I can understand your feelings. I was also born as the only child in my family, and when I grow up my family hopes a lot to me to be the "perfect girl ", they determine you how you should behave, and sometimes they act too overprotective to me and it makes me feel uncomfortable and I also think that they are underestimating me. But on the other side I still want to do a lot of things, I still want to make my family happy and proud in my own way without hurt my family's feelings. and it's quite hard for me to go through with those struggles, But now my family and I are getting better and finally we can understand each other By the way, I'm from Indonesia, and sorry if my comment is too long
I think Tarzans 'You'll be in my heart' is pretty damn impactful as well in a whole different way. But yeah, Mulans song was an inspiration for many little girls i'm sure. :D
@WININSISTS what are you talking about? lea's version is the original! And don't you ever disrespect Filipino! We didn't do anything to you! Just shut up and tell your mother to teach you how to respect people.
WININSISTS now i understand, i even don’t know if lea version is not the original. BUT, I LOVE LEA VERSION. Her voice is match with mulan in that animation film. I’m not only get the power of voice, but i get the feel of that sad princess.
I am literally gagging when I heard Christina Aguilera. I am a Pinay, but I like Salonga's version better, although the facts in the animated movie were twisted to show Mulan's personality. The line "If I were truly to be myself" just describes me as well. I have to keep my reputation in my town, which means I cannot truly show myself and step into my power. I cannot fully throw myself into something new.
My preference is this original, by Lea Salonga. So much emotion & touching feeling when she sing it, So soothing to my ears. One that is sweet & feminine but powerful in the expression of the song. The one that can bring out the true feeling of 'Fa Mulan' the true character & portray of her in the movie. A young woman about to be married but was brought up the the world of wars & suffering to defend her family , her country and herself.
Totally lea Salonga is the greatest artist ever she has the legendary high notes and she has the greatest ❤️ voice she's an icon shes an legend we all stan lea Salonga as the best singer miss saigon she's one of the best talented people ever who sings disney songs 😍🥰💗 and also Jodi benson for having she greatest vocals portraying Ariel and for jasmine greatest artist too
I relate to Mulan so much. It sucks when you feel like you can't be yourself because your family holds traditional values and you don't want to disappoint them.
Cow Cow it’s a year ago that you placed this comment. Idk if you see this but if you do; I hope you will be happy. I hope you can talk to your family about what you really want.
@@Omar_ToxicBanana1701 no it isn't, mulan is being held back because of traditional values like arranged marriage and women having no right to talk back to men. Did you even watch the movie? She never once dream about being a warrior, she only did that as a last resort to save his father and show china even women can be strong.
Look at me, I will never pass for a perfect bride, or a perfect daughter. Can it be, I'm not meant to play this part? Now I see, that if I were truly to be myself, I would break my family's heart. Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Somehow I cannot hide? Who I am, though I've tried. When will my reflection show, who I am, inside? When will my reflection show, who I am inside?
I mean sure Moana was good, she did everything for their island. But have you seen Mulan, she did everything not just for her father but also for her country.
You know why i prefer disney songs when life gets difficult? Because no matter how much i try every "adult" song i listen to, it is about love and your love inerest... Life though is not always about being in love and disney never fails to help me express my feelings with these songs...cheesy but true
This is probably Disney's best scene showing a character's internal struggle between who she is and who she's expected to be, something I'm sure everyone deals with at least once in their life. I get chills when she wipes one half of her make-up off and just looks, as if desperately searching and longing for a way to please everyone and bring honor to her family, but also stay true to herself.. Mulan is definitely my favorite Disney movie
With lea's version you can imagine as if mulan herself is singing it(both live and animation) Christina's version is like mulan has turned into a night club bar singer (still good tho)
Agreed. The new Mulan was so sexist in the way she was portrayed. The lesson was you could be stronger than everyone if you were born with superhero chi. It makes all women feel weak if they aren’t born with superhero chi.
this movie is amazing. Mulan has always been my favourite Disney even when my friends all chose Cinderella and Snow White. The scene where the Chinese people bowed down to her still gives me chill.
disney/people: "moana is the first badass princess" me: M disney/people: "merida is the first princess who doesn't want to get married" me: U disney/people: "elsa is the first princess who Struggles with an identity crisis" me: L disney/people: "Tiana is the first hard working princess" me: A disney/people: "rapunzel is the first realistic princess" me: N Ps: don't get me wrong i love all these movies and princesses but mulan is just such an underrated disney princess
Mulan is such an inspiration and a great influence she was selfless and courageous, saved all of China, dealt with all her insecurities , showed that girls can do anything and even got a good looking husband along the way and she didn't even need a man MULAN, BELLE AND TIANA ARE THE ONLY PRINCESSES WHO TEACH US VALUBLE LIFE LESSOBS
Or Moana. Similiar to Mulan she only decided to leave her village and be something she was told she cannot be, when her father/family was in danger. And she didn‘t even have a romantic subplot.
You know what I just realised about all these princesses I realised that all of them didn't need the men the men needed them Mulan : Shang needed mulan to save China Belle: the beast needed belle to love him to brake the curse and Tiana : the frog prince needed her to kiss him and fall in love with him to brake the curse wow😮😀 like if you agree
This song makes me cry and get chills every time I hear it. It is so beautiful. I hate the new version. It doesnt catch that sad feeling that the original does. At least in the original you can understand what she is saying.
Child inside is your heart (soul) it’s how we all should be, magnetic not giving shit about anything or anyone just feeling and having fun! Society forces us in our minds further away from the authentic self.
Both are fantastic! I like a lot of xtina songs but for this one i go for Lea because the heart is there and the words are crystal clear! With xtina theres too many knots that is not necessary for a song like this.
Lea salonga is the only one has the license to sing both the original version and new version of the song but I like Cristina's singing the new version too
The mixture of nostalgia, remembering how i was back then as a child listening to this song and how things were back then watching this on VHS with my family, and the realization that the lyrics are spot on in relation to how i feel right now is making the feels overload... I can't handle it, I'm bursting into damn tears....
Seriously, when I start to search and see these things I can just remember my childhood, I and my brother sat on the sofa watching disney's VHS movies, paying attention, singing, dancing and sometimes crying. And after asking our mother to buy more films.
each Disney movie had a meaning, mulan taught us to be ourselves, beauty and the beast taught us to love what's inside, snow white taught us to not trust strangers, Cinderella taught us that here was alas hope, and Pocahontas taught us to love and respect nature, etc. but some of the Disney movies and the shows nowadays suck, all they influence now is stupidity. I miss the classics :(
I'm just saying, you are right that it's not the same anymore like it once was. But it's Disney, of course there will be flaws, not everything is perfect. I just saw the new Disney movie, Frozen and although it had a message, there was pretty bad cliches and it wasn't really well rounded. People saying it was the next Beauty and the Beast.
*Original lyrics* Look at me, I will never pass for a perfect bride, or a perfect daughter. Can it be, I'm not meant to play this part? Now I see, that if I were truly to be myself, I would break my family's heart. Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Somehow I cannot hide Who I am, though I've tried. When will my reflection show, who I am, inside? When will my reflection show, who I am, inside? *Full version lyrics* Look at me, you may think you see who I really am, But you never know me. Everyday, it's as if I play apart Now I see, if I wear a mask, I can fool the world But I can not fool my heart Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me? When will my reflection show, who I am inside? I am now in the world where I have to hide my heart, and what I believe in. But somehow, I will show the world what's inside my heart, And be loved for who I am Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Must I pretend that I'm someone else for all time? When will my reflection show, who I am inside? There's a heart that must be free to fly. That burns with the need to know the reason why! Why must we all conceal what we think, how we feel? Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide? I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time When will my reflection show, who I am inside? When will my reflection show, who I am inside?
***** The story is called "The Ballad of Mulan" and it is about a Hua Mulan a young girl takes her aging father's place in the a war. She fights for twelve years and becomes a great warrior, but after the war she just goes home. She sees her family, puts on her old clothes and her comrades are shocked to find out she was a woman all along. That's the version I read, anyway. It's a very old story.
This is the kind of princess that works well. The new Mulan had some super hero women that made it seem like a women couldn’t be strong without being born with superpower chi. Honestly pretty misogynistic.
I don't think that Christina's version is as impactful and doesn't quite emotionally empathise the conflict that Mulan is having with herself through her journey of finding herself and where she belongs, because a lot of us have all come at this crossroads in our lives were we feel like we don't belong and how we feel like we don't know who we are - I've personally gone through that myself, but I know myself a lot better now, I don't doubt myself that much anymore, I've gone through a lot of challenges, and I know that I do belong in this world, and Mulan and many other Disney's films have helped say how I feel with their characters. I feel as though Lea's version gives you all of that and more. You can truly feel Mulan's struggle with the original, the lyrics are beautiful, and ironically reflect Mulans feelings and it has always provoked something in me, and I always end up crying as I can empathise with her even though hers is more to do with breaking away from what is traditionally expected from her, I've always felt the pressure of other people expecting me to act, feel, and be somebody that I am not, and having them not like who I actually am. How a lot of people just expect me to follow what they do, to think the same way as them, or to act in the same way but I'm not that person, I am my own person and I won't EVER try and be like somebody else, a lot of people have tried to get me to be like them, to think in the same way as them, but when I don't conform to any of that and I stay true to myself, where I can think, feel, and form my own opinions on things on my own they don't like that, they don't like that I don't go along with what they believe so they drop me or don't want to know me. I see so many girls fall into that trap of wanting to act and do what other people are doing, to follow what so many other girls are doing rather than follow their own path, rather than doing something for themselves or make their own judgement or opinion on something and really come into their own as an individual. I love Mulan, and everything about the film, she indeed inspires me to be the best that I can be and I think she does that for so many of us Disney fans where ever we are in the world. Don't ever let people make you feel less than great about who you are, just because you don't think the same as they do, don't act in the same way, or that you don't have the same world views/ beliefs, or opinions to them or the same ideas or values, because there's nothing wrong with that, that there's nothing wrong with disagreeing or rejecting an idea if it doesn't represent who you are and you're in your right to do that, so don't let it get to you if someone tries to make you feel bad for believing something different to them, if they cannot respectfully disagree with you, but still want to find something in common with you and to connect with you regardless then that's on them and not you. Don't let them make you doubt yourself and think you're the one with the problem when you're the one embracing who you truly are, and that you embrace being an individual while they are too concerned with following what other people are doing, and then try and become like those people. You matter. Your feelings matter, You exist. For those of you who are dealing with this, if it's depressing you or it's made you become anxious, then I hope my words can help you feel a lot better.
Mullerornis She was doing well at the beginning. It’s too bad she sold out to the Illuminati (just like every other female Disney star has) and turned into a sexual degenerate at age 21
Lea Salonga was disappointed when they did not put the entire song in the movie. So whenever she gets a chance she sings the whole song especially during Disney's anniversary or at every concert she has to do. It has such a strong message about finding yourself and when you finally did you had to conceal who you truly are and your heart is bursting from the pain of wanting to release yourself and be free to show the real you to those you love so they can be proud of you. I love the full version of Lea Salonga. The lyrics was just so amazing. They don't even have the same lyrics as what Christina sang. The one that Lea sings really reflects the movie from beginning to end. With Christina it was all about when she was already hiding her identity as a male soldier.
Lea Salonga's version was more precise, pure and more emotional. Christina is a great singer without a doubt, one of the best in the world, but Lea has an emotional purity that no one else can match.
When I first came out as trans (ftm) 3 years ago, I thought this song was pretty accurate to how I felt. Everyone around me saw a girl, my family saw me as their sister/daughter/granddaughter ect. But I couldn't fit that role for them because it just wasn't who I was. "when will my reflection show who I am inside?" speaks very true to how I felt and still feel. "Why is my reflection someone I don't know?" "must I pretend that I'm someone else for all time?" Idk if anyone else feels that way or if it's just me but I relate to this song really well for that reason
@IDGAF HOE Yes I agree, but thats not what she's trying to do. If people think of this song as just as inspiring despite it not being from Lea herself, people would appreciate it. i agree, she does not fit Mulan AT ALL, but calling her a wannabe is stupid if Christina just COVERED a song. Ya'll reading too deep into this.
Its now May 2019 and still listening to this beautiful song. The message of this song is like a message i want to shout out to the whole world! Who else can relate?
IMO Lea sounded better than Christina because she evoked more emotions into it. Christina sometimes oversings at times. Not saying this was one of those cases.
Look at me I will never pass for a perfect bride Or a perfect daughter Can it be I'm not meant to play this part? Now I see That if I were truly to be myself I would break my family's heart Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Somehow I cannot hide who I am, though I've tried When will my reflection show who I am inside? When will my reflection show who I am inside?
Those lyrics makes all the sense, and it says things that shows how it feels for some people which have or believe that they have to hide themselves from others.
I am a writer ........but I wanted to be a doctor but then I realized that I'm a born writer I write on 222 ideas in 12 years of my life( novel , scripts, short story movies) And this is my true self.... proud to be a writer:)
Happy New Year 2014 we still bring this song to 2014 and so on, compare with now a day music .Thumb up if agree I am stone age man. Have a lovely new year everyone
Idk what you mean by “made to listen”, both are great to listen at and both conveys different emotions. Lea’s is more like the princess-y type. It made me think that she’s still going to hide her true self and is just telling us what she’s been doing. Christina’s version is more pop and made me think she’s almost had it with hiding and is about to break free from her old self. In a way, the two versions are like the two mulans in the song, one is the princess still hiding, the other is the warrior out in the open.
Look at me You may think you see who I really am But you'll never know me Every day, it's as if I play a part Now I see If I wear a mask I can fool the world But I can not fool my heart Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? When will my reflection show Who I am inside? I am now In a world where I have to hide my heart And what I believe in But somehow I will show the world What's inside my heart And be loved for who I am Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Must I pretend that I'm Someone else for all time? When will my reflection show Who I am inside? There's a heart that must be free to fly That burns with a need to know the reason why Why must we all conceal What we think How we feel Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide? I won't pretend that I'm Someone else For all time When will my reflection show Who I am inside? When will my reflection show Who I am inside?
@@criticalhard if you don't like lea then thats okay. Just don't discredit her. Calling her a nobody is plain rude. If she's a nobody then what about you?
@Christian i know about how annoying filipinos can be. And I'm not talking about you. Its okay not to like her, really. But @criticalhard went as far as to call her a nobody. That's discrediting her. He could've just asked who she is if he didn't know. No need to be so rude to lea and her fans. But, anyways, it's not like I could do anything if he's rude or whatev soooo. Peace
i loved this movie cause Mulan is a real person also all the other movies are like oh I'm the princess I'm looking for prince charming or something but in Mulan she just wants to keep her dad out the war
prett sure you got ariel mixed up with pocahontas, it was definitely a cultural difference that brought "white and copper skin" together. ...... cinderella wants a day off is not a great use of feminine message at all, that is about the value of patience and is unfortunatly mostly just about justice and a true fairytale. belle is looking within, literally, books, everywhere in the movie as the theme to not judging a book by its cover, who is the beast. tiana is purely for a female power role, the time is was based is very much a male dominated era, and she is just beileving in a dream and using her own mindpower and will to pull her through and get her dream to come true, a completly backhandslap at the dreams are a wish" play, showing that although dreaming, keeping the hope alive was about MAKING it happen not waiting for it. ariel is literally a brothers grimm fairytale gone disney - the meraid kills herself in the original story because the prince stays with the sea witch. frollo is not a version of malificent. frollo is based from the novel in which you are correct, justice need to be served and he is the bad guy in the plot. But again, sleeping beauty is a fable, maleficent is the same if anything to the queen in snow white, power, control, greed and or beauty and appearance are there themes.
This song made me realize that Mulan is not just a Disney princess, but also a Disney prince, and I can relate to her/him so much that makes me cry every time I hear this song
I like Christina's version but I much definitely like the original woman from the movie. It sends chills thru me and makes my eyes water. The lyrics and her voice are truly beautiful
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how Mulan is the Disney Princess who has the most bravery and that moment when she removes her makeup easily is so meaningful girls dont have to be a girly girl they can be strong just like a man! A great lesson to young girls Wow to much to read and write thx for reading Also Bravo to the makers of Mulan! 😊
This is by far the best Disney film. I don't it would directly aimed at her being transgender or gay, but some of that definitely shines through and can be interpreted through this song.
I hate saying things were better in the past, but who can say any different when it comes to Disney? They used to have so much soul and creativity. I guess it was inevitable that as they got bigger they would become just another lifeless corporation, ah well at least we have the memories.
The first version is the one that was used in the actual scene, was sung by Lea Salonga. The 2nd one, the pop version, was sung by Christina Aguilera for the end credits of the movie. Both of them are original but different versions
The father is the best. How sweet - he accept his daugther right as she is. She has not to be perfect. The moment between mulan and her father is my favorite moment in the whole movie.
I nearly cried because this song is so sad yet inspirational! I can relate to this song. Everyone looks at me in a different way. I'm mixed and "ghetto" brothers and sisters pick on me because I'm bisexual, an anime fan, scene, and atheist. And they're not the only ones. Kids at school pick on me and expect me to be someone else. My parents don't really like who I am either. Sometimes its hard to be myself because I'm afraid that I might be embarrassed.
I know I am going to get a lot of hate by saying this... Being bisexual isn't that great. It's not good for the society and future generations..just..just .... I'm tired of it.
somehow, theirs a difference between a child growing with anime(they become sensitive and with their Character?they're more like playing an anime character, with their attitude and the way they think and behave) and a child that grows without anime just isnt as fragile as those of child that grows with anime
Who you are is who you are. Don't let others determine how you should act. You will meet people that you will click with. Just keep on keeping on. Those haters will one day realize that you are a cool person if they get a chance to get to know you. Just show them your positive energy and give them as many opportunities as possible to do so. What ever they do to you, act as if they are greeting you and greet them back by their name. They will change if they are a cool person.
As a trans boy, this song hits so hard. I know it’s not the purpose of the song but “who is that girl I see staring straight back at me”- LIKE- TELL ME NOT TO CRY. DO IT.
+Iamqueen lea i feel christina's version represents mulan better though, however i completely agree that lea's version sounds much stronger and more elegent
@@nads7290 its not christina who wrote the song it was Matthew Wilder and David Zippel performed by lea salonga for the disney movie mulan which being cut and made it into a smaller version. And later christina sang the full version and made it her first debut single album
I hated middle school. I was never able to be myself and I was so scared of others opinions. this speaks so much to me since I'm usually so quiet around students at school.everyone thinks im weird and a pushover. they say things sarcastically to me and they usually feel uncomfortable and think I'm weird because I'm so quiet. They tease me just bc they think they look cooler. It's so scary. At home I'm literally the loudest one. I talk way too much and crack jokes and have so much fun spending time with my fam and friends. I literally talk a storm with ppl I'm comfy with. I hate being this way and letting people get me down and teasing and think they're "cooler" than me. Ppl talk behind me back. For high school, I plan to change and BE myself in school. I'll talk a storm and won't care. And I'll be so happy and confident, I know it. I learned to be more happy with myself this summer. I will be so happy this year and I'll be so glad to be myself bc that's what i plan on doing and also,
I will never pick on quiet people. I'll be friends with them and be kind to EVERYONE. I plan to stop others from "teasing" and "stepping over people" bc they think theyre cooler than them. It's not right to talk behind people's back bc you THINK you're better and more popular and cooler. Its so not cool. I'll stpp everyone and make them realize how rude it is.
I see that this post was 2 years ago, so I hope it worked out for you. It didn't for me. I always said I'll be different this year, I'm going to talk and be myself - but when it came down to it, it never worked. It wasn't until college that I was able to break away from everyone else's ideas of me as "the girl who never talks" and finally come into my own. And a big part of this was that it was all new people and I could feel free to reinvent myself rather than being constrained by other people's ideas of me.
Sophia C I can relate a lot to you.I am also a quiet person but it hurts that people also talk behind my back. My bffs best friend talked bad about me and her.I just hate how people criticize you just because you aren’t cool.
i was sorta the same way im still in middle school but its super tough cause im friends with someone that is depressed and wants to kill herself and one of my "popular" friends said that she was weird and physio i couldn't even believe that one of my friends was seriously pulling that crap the girl that got called that is someone that i hang out with everyday at lunch and at most of our classes that we have together i so wanted to say to my "popular friend" *that that was extremely rude you cant judge a person from how they look or act its their life if you don't like it than keep your opinion to yourself.*
Christina Wolfarth please help your friend who wants to kill herself and let her know that she’s not alone and that she’s cared for , help her and tell her that it will get better because it always does I know from experience, but really help her before it’s too late , and your “popular friend” needs to stop because she isn’t better than anyone
I always sing in front of the mirror every time i go shower.. "Who is the girl I see staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know"
I can relate to this song because while I've never had any serious issues with parents or other people, I always lacked self esteem. Like I felt 'different' and 'shy', and didn't live up to standards (or that I was letting people down). When I was in my 20s I used to listen to this song all the time because, even though it's a sad song, somehow I felt at peace with it. Maybe because it made me realize I'm not the only person who felt "lost" (I realize now that being in your 20s is an emotionally confusing time in your life - you're still 'growing up').
mulan is based on a chinese folklore she was indeed a girl and broke the gender stereotype at that time but no gay or transgender implications guys criticism and interpretations do take on a life of its own at times
That's how criticisms and interpretations work jackass. If you knew anything about post modern theory you would understand....the author is dead after all!
I really like the Lea salonga and Suhyun's version..i don't think the english version suits this song really well. Don't get me wrong christina aguilera's voice has her own plus BUT for a disney song that's supposed to tell A STORY, her interpretation of reflection focuses too much on her own vocal abilities and she puts too much ornaments in it. It's like she doesn't care what the song's about at all and just tries to sing greatly, it doesn't sound natural
The only non princess who bravely faced the foes not for a prince or romantic love but the love for her father ❤️❤️❤️
You will always be my number one! 😭
Laine Chan what about Tiana?
What about Mulan?
what about merida?
What about Elsa?
What about Moana, lol
l come from China. This movie means a lot to me. I am an only child in my family which means i have to take on all the responsibilities for the whole family alone when my parents are getting older and older. Meanwhile, i have to fight against some unfair treatment on women from time to time.
MULAN is just a great example for me.She is not a princess but a common girl just like you and me facing with the same delimma.I got lots of power from her when l was very nervous and exhausted.
I gusse maybe this is why the story of MULAN can be spread worldwide and reserved for thousands of years.
张聿 That’s so deep and beautiful💕✨
Keep Fighting, you have my support
I can understand your feelings. I was also born as the only child in my family, and when I grow up my family hopes a lot to me to be the "perfect girl ", they determine you how you should behave, and sometimes they act too overprotective to me and it makes me feel uncomfortable and I also think that they are underestimating me. But on the other side I still want to do a lot of things, I still want to make my family happy and proud in my own way without hurt my family's feelings. and it's quite hard for me to go through with those struggles, But now my family and I are getting better and finally we can understand each other
By the way, I'm from Indonesia, and sorry if my comment is too long
Same Story Hun
keep on going now, cheer up!! 💪👍🎉
Be asian woman is very hard... I know what mulan feel... Especially gap from daughter and son :')
As I grow older, I realize that this song is more meaningful than others.
I think Tarzans 'You'll be in my heart' is pretty damn impactful as well in a whole different way.
But yeah, Mulans song was an inspiration for many little girls i'm sure. :D
@@Aurirang I personally think it's not only a song for little girls, but for everyone who wants to find their true self.
And Belle if you think about it
@@francescop.c.3298 yep! Im not a girl but this song really makes me happy
and especially for LGBTs. If they were true to themselves, they would break their families’ heart. So relatable.
Fact: Lea's Voice was Crystal Clear that you don't need a subtitle to know the lyrics.
Fact
@WININSISTS Uhhhhh how does that add up to this comment?
@WININSISTS what are you talking about? lea's version is the original! And don't you ever disrespect Filipino! We didn't do anything to you! Just shut up and tell your mother to teach you how to respect people.
WININSISTS now i understand, i even don’t know if lea version is not the original.
BUT, I LOVE LEA VERSION. Her voice is match with mulan in that animation film. I’m not only get the power of voice, but i get the feel of that sad princess.

I'll break their hearts
My preference is this original, by Lea Salonga. So much emotion & touching feeling when she sing it, So soothing to my ears. One that is sweet & feminine but powerful in the expression of the song. The one that can bring out the true feeling of 'Fa Mulan' the true character & portray of her in the movie. A young woman about to be married but was brought up the the world of wars & suffering to defend her family , her country and herself.
Totally lea Salonga is the greatest artist ever she has the legendary high notes and she has the greatest ❤️ voice she's an icon shes an legend we all stan lea Salonga as the best singer miss saigon she's one of the best talented people ever who sings disney songs 😍🥰💗 and also Jodi benson for having she greatest vocals portraying Ariel and for jasmine greatest artist too
Lea’s version is the best for me, she has a soul of Disney’s princess!
True 😊
The worst choice that disney ever made would be deleting this musical number from new Mulan movie.
🥺🥺
Truee
The worst choice was making the new Mulan movie...their second worst choice was leaving this song out.
Esp the.mandarin version
The worst choice Disney made was making stupid live action remakes
No hate but this is the best song I'v ever heard in all those Disney Princesses
The original singer who sing that is Lea salonga she is a Filipina singer
Mulan isn't a princess
@@MutatedPercent She is disney confirmed it
And the best movie also...
@@raisajannati She's apart of the Disney princess line, but she herself is not a princess. She married a GENERAL
They are both amazing singer. But I like Lea's version. Maybe because she doesn't do a lot of ooohhhs ahhhhs and belting.
Hahahahahhah
I agree
Love the statement 😌🤭❤️❤️
Same hahahaa
True...Christina is a bit extra. The new version she sang is even more dramatic and I felt the chills lol
I relate to Mulan so much. It sucks when you feel like you can't be yourself because your family holds traditional values and you don't want to disappoint them.
Mulan was simply a woman who wanted to be a woman warrior, I don't think that's related to whatever you have in mind.
Vvv
Cow Cow it’s a year ago that you placed this comment. Idk if you see this but if you do; I hope you will be happy. I hope you can talk to your family about what you really want.
Then she put 2 fingers up to tradition and became a hero :)
@@Omar_ToxicBanana1701 no it isn't, mulan is being held back because of traditional values like arranged marriage and women having no right to talk back to men. Did you even watch the movie? She never once dream about being a warrior, she only did that as a last resort to save his father and show china even women can be strong.
Look at me,
I will never pass for a perfect bride, or a perfect daughter.
Can it be,
I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see, that if I were truly to be myself,
I would break my family's heart.
Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide?
Who I am, though I've tried.
When will my reflection show, who I am, inside?
When will my reflection show, who I am inside?
I mean sure Moana was good, she did everything for their island. But have you seen Mulan, she did everything not just for her father but also for her country.
Yes Indeed
❤
Not really for her countrybut the best part is that she went out of her way to save shang
@@rewriter3981 Meh, she also wanted to save the Emperor and her friends.
Yesss
You know why i prefer disney songs when life gets difficult? Because no matter how much i try every "adult" song i listen to, it is about love and your love inerest... Life though is not always about being in love and disney never fails to help me express my feelings with these songs...cheesy but true
aniretakDB007 Me too
aniretakDB007 sooo true
aniretakDB007 can't be more true
Sometimes classic disney gets more adult than many " adult" movie
Desirée Rodríguez tooo right
This is probably Disney's best scene showing a character's internal struggle between who she is and who she's expected to be, something I'm sure everyone deals with at least once in their life. I get chills when she wipes one half of her make-up off and just looks, as if desperately searching and longing for a way to please everyone and bring honor to her family, but also stay true to herself.. Mulan is definitely my favorite Disney movie
With lea's version you can imagine as if mulan herself is singing it(both live and animation) Christina's version is like mulan has turned into a night club bar singer (still good tho)
Lmaoooo q😂😂😂
Dude 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
for me Christina's version sounds like a christmas song
Hahaha
I'm not a girl, I dont know how it feels to be Mulan, but I just know she's one of the strongest girl and the perfect role model to everyone
Same thinking here;;
Agreed. The new Mulan was so sexist in the way she was portrayed. The lesson was you could be stronger than everyone if you were born with superhero chi. It makes all women feel weak if they aren’t born with superhero chi.
Mulan was my trans awakening, man
She is a good role model
The Best Song through all Disney movie. Finally not about love, but about who you really are and whom others see you as
this movie is amazing. Mulan has always been my favourite Disney even when my friends all chose Cinderella and Snow White. The scene where the Chinese people bowed down to her still gives me chill.
+Amanda Atsuko This song is giving me the chills now....christina aguilers voice
YES!!
YES😊💘💓💕💖💗💝
I liked it because the plot felt thicker than the others.
she had to deal with real life struggles. finding her place in life, taking care of her family....while others is more of escaping and falling in love

Mulan is not a princess. She is a brave warrior ❤️
edit: ok she's BOTH
she's a disney princess
Mulan is a brave warrior even Moana was brave too.
That's literally why she is a princess ❤️
@@Ruby.D that's right she's a warrior Princess
Meg is happy Well she is “known” as a princess, and like doesn’t even matter?
Mulan is such an inspiration and a great influence she was selfless and courageous, saved all of China, dealt with all her insecurities , showed that girls can do anything and even got a good looking husband along the way and she didn't even need a man
MULAN, BELLE AND TIANA ARE THE ONLY PRINCESSES WHO TEACH US VALUBLE LIFE LESSOBS
How about Elsa? She also doesn't need a man
Or Moana. Similiar to Mulan she only decided to leave her village and be something she was told she cannot be, when her father/family was in danger. And she didn‘t even have a romantic subplot.
You know what I just realised about all these princesses
I realised that all of them didn't need the men the men needed them
Mulan : Shang needed mulan to save China
Belle: the beast needed belle to love him to brake the curse and
Tiana : the frog prince needed her to kiss him and fall in love with him to brake the curse wow😮😀 like if you agree
This song makes me cry and get chills every time I hear it. It is so beautiful. I hate the new version. It doesnt catch that sad feeling that the original does. At least in the original you can understand what she is saying.
I gag every time I hear Aguilera's version of Reflection
😔😔😔
Every single word in this song describes this 19 year old who is really a child inside.
Toon Link Feel the same way, sucks being an adult
Toon Link Same
This song describes a 30 year old woman who is really a 5 year old little kid girl inside trapped in a adults body.
Child inside is your heart (soul) it’s how we all should be, magnetic not giving shit about anything or anyone just feeling and having fun! Society forces us in our minds further away from the authentic self.
Lea Salonga 's version is still the best.....
I just love her music eversince she was a little girl singing.
@Maria Sophia Venice Zabala cool

She's one of the legendary princesses that proves you don't need no prince for saving

@@nickireginebey9361 both Christina and Lea are great, but i still prefer Lea because you can literally hear her emotion while singing it.
Both are fantastic! I like a lot of xtina songs but for this one i go for Lea because the heart is there and the words are crystal clear! With xtina theres too many knots that is not necessary for a song like this.
@@nickireginebey9361 christina is too nasally
Lea salonga is the only one has the license to sing both the original version and new version of the song but I like Cristina's singing the new version too
The mixture of nostalgia, remembering how i was back then as a child listening to this song and how things were back then watching this on VHS with my family, and the realization that the lyrics are spot on in relation to how i feel right now is making the feels overload... I can't handle it, I'm bursting into damn tears....
Haha!!
Better than Let It Go
Obviously!
Aww thanks for thinking that! ♡
the two songs are good
Yeah I've got to agree with you on that one.
This song really captures my heart. Her love for her father is just so beautiful. I just can't explain it without crying.
Lea Salonga's voice is forever precious and wonderful.
Seriously, when I start to search and see these things I can just remember my childhood, I and my brother sat on the sofa watching disney's VHS movies, paying attention, singing, dancing and sometimes crying. And after asking our mother to buy more films.
you're not japanese, right?
I am
Lea's version makes me cry all the time
Lea Salonga is full of emotions when she sings and her voice is crystal clear. She's finitely the best.Love her so much..
This is probably the best Disney song of all time 👌
Thanks to Lea Salonga for bringing "A Whole New World" and "Reflection" in our childhood addictions.
each Disney movie had a meaning, mulan taught us to be ourselves, beauty and the beast taught us to love what's inside, snow white taught us to not trust strangers, Cinderella taught us that here was alas hope, and Pocahontas taught us to love and respect nature, etc. but some of the Disney movies and the shows nowadays suck, all they influence now is stupidity. I miss the classics :(
you are right !!!! I miss them too :(
Are you kidding? What about Tangled? Princess and the Frog? Huh?
***** what about them? I said "some of the Disney movies" not "all"
I'm just saying, you are right that it's not the same anymore like it once was. But it's Disney, of course there will be flaws, not everything is perfect. I just saw the new Disney movie, Frozen and although it had a message, there was pretty bad cliches and it wasn't really well rounded. People saying it was the next Beauty and the Beast.
***** didn't the trailer even say that its the best Disney movie since the lion king or something like that?
I came here to cleanse my ears of the 2020 version.
SAME.
Me too. 😅
But I like the new version too
Same. Haha

Look at me,
I will never pass for a perfect bride, or a perfect daughter.
Can it be,
I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see, that if I were truly to be myself,
I would break my family's heart.
Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am, though I've tried.
When will my reflection show, who I am, inside?
When will my reflection show, who I am, inside?
*Full version lyrics*
Look at me, you may think you see who I really am,
But you never know me.
Everyday, it's as if I play apart
Now I see, if I wear a mask, I can fool the world
But I can not fool my heart
Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show, who I am inside?
I am now in the world where I have to hide my heart, and what I believe in.
But somehow, I will show the world what's inside my heart,
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show, who I am inside?
There's a heart that must be free to fly.
That burns with the need to know the reason why!
Why must we all conceal what we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time
When will my reflection show, who I am inside?
When will my reflection show, who I am inside?

Thank you！！
Literally trans anthem.
@@tylercoburn6833 finally someone's saying it
It’s just ....
Lea Version is suit with Animation version and Christina Version is suit for Movie version. i love both 😭 both makes me goosebump
Mulan is THE best Disney movie.
And it comes from a traditional stroy of China!
***** The story is called "The Ballad of Mulan" and it is about a Hua Mulan a young girl takes her aging father's place in the a war. She fights for twelve years and becomes a great warrior, but after the war she just goes home. She sees her family, puts on her old clothes and her comrades are shocked to find out she was a woman all along. That's the version I read, anyway. It's a very old story.
+Lshannon90 that's what I read also. but the difference in real life, she got approval from her dad before going
no
i disagree
I feel like most disney princess movies are drawing girls as hopeless without men. Mulan however is a girl with a spirit stronger than any men.
Totally why she’s my favorite. I love her!
still love Aurora tho
But she still got married
@@nightmares8274 she did, but she was an independent badass warrior first. she didn't need a man in order to be great.
This is the kind of princess that works well. The new Mulan had some super hero women that made it seem like a women couldn’t be strong without being born with superpower chi. Honestly pretty misogynistic.
I don't think that Christina's version is as impactful and doesn't quite emotionally empathise the conflict that Mulan is having with herself through her journey of finding herself and where she belongs, because a lot of us have all come at this crossroads in our lives were we feel like we don't belong and how we feel like we don't know who we are - I've personally gone through that myself, but I know myself a lot better now, I don't doubt myself that much anymore, I've gone through a lot of challenges, and I know that I do belong in this world, and Mulan and many other Disney's films have helped say how I feel with their characters.
I feel as though Lea's version gives you all of that and more. You can truly feel Mulan's struggle with the original, the lyrics are beautiful, and ironically reflect Mulans feelings and it has always provoked something in me, and I always end up crying as I can empathise with her even though hers is more to do with breaking away from what is traditionally expected from her, I've always felt the pressure of other people expecting me to act, feel, and be somebody that I am not, and having them not like who I actually am. How a lot of people just expect me to follow what they do, to think the same way as them, or to act in the same way but I'm not that person, I am my own person and I won't EVER try and be like somebody else, a lot of people have tried to get me to be like them, to think in the same way as them, but when I don't conform to any of that and I stay true to myself, where I can think, feel, and form my own opinions on things on my own they don't like that, they don't like that I don't go along with what they believe so they drop me or don't want to know me. I see so many girls fall into that trap of wanting to act and do what other people are doing, to follow what so many other girls are doing rather than follow their own path, rather than doing something for themselves or make their own judgement or opinion on something and really come into their own as an individual.
I love Mulan, and everything about the film, she indeed inspires me to be the best that I can be and I think she does that for so many of us Disney fans where ever we are in the world.
Don't ever let people make you feel less than great about who you are, just because you don't think the same as they do, don't act in the same way, or that you don't have the same world views/ beliefs, or opinions to them or the same ideas or values, because there's nothing wrong with that, that there's nothing wrong with disagreeing or rejecting an idea if it doesn't represent who you are and you're in your right to do that, so don't let it get to you if someone tries to make you feel bad for believing something different to them, if they cannot respectfully disagree with you, but still want to find something in common with you and to connect with you regardless then that's on them and not you. Don't let them make you doubt yourself and think you're the one with the problem when you're the one embracing who you truly are, and that you embrace being an individual while they are too concerned with following what other people are doing, and then try and become like those people. You matter. Your feelings matter, You exist. For those of you who are dealing with this, if it's depressing you or it's made you become anxious, then I hope my words can help you feel a lot better.
its so beautiful, thanks
Mullerornis She was doing well at the beginning. It’s too bad she sold out to the Illuminati (just like every other female Disney star has) and turned into a sexual degenerate at age 21

"very much better"... damn where did you learn your english? 🤣🤣🤣
Nope
i always know its lea's voice.Her character voice that always bring us in the disney world is will never die . what a legend
Who is here after watching MULAN teaser and being disappointed that this masterpiece wont be on the movie ??? 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
Dude it just a teaser. The actress can sing. I know it'll be in it
Bro it's just only the teaser
How do you know? Have you seen the full movie? dmbfck.
hahaha
There is no way ths song wont on the movie...it just an early teaser..chi out
Lea Salonga was disappointed when they did not put the entire song in the movie. So whenever she gets a chance she sings the whole song especially during Disney's anniversary or at every concert she has to do. It has such a strong message about finding yourself and when you finally did you had to conceal who you truly are and your heart is bursting from the pain of wanting to release yourself and be free to show the real you to those you love so they can be proud of you. I love the full version of Lea Salonga. The lyrics was just so amazing. They don't even have the same lyrics as what Christina sang. The one that Lea sings really reflects the movie from beginning to end. With Christina it was all about when she was already hiding her identity as a male soldier.
Lea Salonga's version was more precise, pure and more emotional. Christina is a great singer without a doubt, one of the best in the world, but Lea has an emotional purity that no one else can match.
Agree so much👍
Who else is here after listening to "A whole new world"?
A whole new world is better , this is also very good
can't wait this to appear on disney's mulan live action next year
@@ryanhxen me too
My top2 Disney’s song!!
Jerome Isturis is actually the same singer though, Lea Salonga
When I first came out as trans (ftm) 3 years ago, I thought this song was pretty accurate to how I felt. Everyone around me saw a girl, my family saw me as their sister/daughter/granddaughter ect. But I couldn't fit that role for them because it just wasn't who I was. "when will my reflection show who I am inside?" speaks very true to how I felt and still feel. "Why is my reflection someone I don't know?" "must I pretend that I'm someone else for all time?"
Idk if anyone else feels that way or if it's just me but I relate to this song really well for that reason
That’s how I feel... exactly how I feel...
the lyrics kills.... it hits straightly to heart and with Lea's voice it became a masterpiece.
I'm sorry, but this is the only Mulan. The other one is just a wannabe.
I agree, the new one is fake and hallow like this generation
She's an actor my guy
@@milesmanges i know this joke died, but you rlly sound like a boomer lmao.
i completely agree
@IDGAF HOE Yes I agree, but thats not what she's trying to do. If people think of this song as just as inspiring despite it not being from Lea herself, people would appreciate it. i agree, she does not fit Mulan AT ALL, but calling her a wannabe is stupid if Christina just COVERED a song. Ya'll reading too deep into this.
Its now May 2019 and still listening to this beautiful song. The message of this song is like a message i want to shout out to the whole world! Who else can relate?
IMO Lea sounded better than Christina because she evoked more emotions into it. Christina sometimes oversings at times. Not saying this was one of those cases.
Your opinion.
I love them both
Lol your taste sucks

Christina voice's fit for 2020's mulan version and I can feel the spirit ❤️ but Leah Salonga's voice is legend, the Miss Saigon 😍
Those lyrics makes all the sense, and it says things that shows how it feels for some people which have or believe that they have to hide themselves from others.

The original was made to show Mulan's feelings. Christina's was made to listen.
They both were made for different reasons.
Both are nice.
Idk what you mean by “made to listen”, both are great to listen at and both conveys different emotions. Lea’s is more like the princess-y type. It made me think that she’s still going to hide her true self and is just telling us what she’s been doing. Christina’s version is more pop and made me think she’s almost had it with hiding and is about to break free from her old self.
In a way, the two versions are like the two mulans in the song, one is the princess still hiding, the other is the warrior out in the open.
Look at me
You may think you see
who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day, it's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I can not fool
my heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
I am now
In a world where I have to
hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
There's a heart that must
be free to fly
That burns with a need
to know the reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm

This voice (Lea S.) can give justice on this song. If she sing this song everybody in her concert gives respect and listened from their hearts.
Now I understand why I loved this movie and expecially THAT song so much!! *-*
i agree
YES
i loved this movie cause Mulan is a real person also all the other movies are like oh I'm the princess I'm looking for prince charming or something but in Mulan she just wants to keep her dad out the war
prett sure you got ariel mixed up with pocahontas, it was definitely a cultural difference that brought "white and copper skin" together. ...... cinderella wants a day off is not a great use of feminine message at all, that is about the value of patience and is unfortunatly mostly just about justice and a true fairytale. belle is looking within, literally, books, everywhere in the movie as the theme to not judging a book by its cover, who is the beast. tiana is purely for a female power role, the time is was based is very much a male dominated era, and she is just beileving in a dream and using her own mindpower and will to pull her through and get her dream to come true, a completly backhandslap at the dreams are a wish" play, showing that although dreaming, keeping the hope alive was about MAKING it happen not waiting for it. ariel is literally a brothers grimm fairytale gone disney - the meraid kills herself in the original story because the prince stays with the sea witch. frollo is not a version of malificent. frollo is based from the novel in which you are correct, justice need to be served and he is the bad guy in the plot. But again, sleeping beauty is a fable, maleficent is the same if anything to the queen in snow white, power, control, greed and or beauty and appearance are there themes.
This will always be my favorite Disney song
Aye
this is actually the best one!!
o shit waddup

I prefer the original version, it shows more the emotion of the character :3
Yang Lat yeah
Lea Salonga definatley was better for this song than Christina Augilera. She was great for Mulan's singing voice and Jasmine's in Aladdin
You do know the songs came out at the same time right? Like this is the song they play at the end of the movie
This is the original. Lol
I dont wanna be alone anymoooooooore 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
This song made me realize that Mulan is not just a Disney princess, but also a Disney prince, and I can relate to her/him so much that makes me cry every time I hear this song
I like Christina's version but I much definitely like the original woman from the movie. It sends chills thru me and makes my eyes water. The lyrics and her voice are truly beautiful
Mulan's singing voice is of Ms. Lea Salonga
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how Mulan is the Disney Princess who has the most bravery and that moment when she removes her makeup easily is so meaningful girls dont have to be a girly girl they can be strong just like a man! A great lesson to young girls
Wow to much to read and write thx for reading
Also Bravo to the makers of Mulan!
😊
No hate but they can be strong like a woman too ❤🙂
This is by far the best Disney film. I don't it would directly aimed at her being transgender or gay, but some of that definitely shines through and can be interpreted through this song.
Hercules is definitely the best lol
+Tyler Feliciano God, yes!
I have never watched Mulan
Yet
I hate saying things were better in the past, but who can say any different when it comes to Disney? They used to have so much soul and creativity. I guess it was inevitable that as they got bigger they would become just another lifeless corporation, ah well at least we have the memories.
Capitalism ate Disney to it's core 😐
When I was little (I'm being 100% serious) I used to sing this song to myself, because I always felt like the disappointment child
J. Jun now I do get ALL of the attention because i am now the child with all the problems
J. Jun maybe....
thanks though
I know that I listen to this song sometime when I have some personality troubles
Same but I still do tbh 😂 and im well on my way to being a damn adult
+Millie Sophia I don't want to like this because I'd feel guilty...
Best Disney song. Eat it "Let it Go".
Trueee👌🏽
+Cade Del Rey you can try the Chinese version of this song called 自己，sung by coco
a rpdr fab
zahir cenesca ??
Cade Del Rey i meant fan bc I see you on rpdr videos on yt
Who like the original better?
sorry but is this the original one?
Me!
Lea Salonga version I prefer.
The first version is the one that was used in the actual scene, was sung by Lea Salonga. The 2nd one, the pop version, was sung by Christina Aguilera for the end credits of the movie. Both of them are original but different versions
lea salonga's voice is soo overwhelming
The father is the best. How sweet - he accept his daugther right as she is. She has not to be perfect. The moment between mulan and her father is my favorite moment in the whole movie.
Amazing voice!! It's a "LegendPrincess" of Disney.. Perfectly sang
Same as A Whole New World sang by.... Lea Salonga👏👏🥰🙏🙏
Who's here because of the trailer of live action mulan?
omg me hahaha what the heck
is that I heard this song as background music and made me feel goosebumps, made me feel nostalgic so I came here
Dats me 😂
Me
Oh yeh
Hold on,MULAN'S GETTING A LIVE ACTION MOVIE?!??!?!!?
I nearly cried because this song is so sad yet inspirational! I can relate to this song. Everyone looks at me in a different way. I'm mixed and "ghetto" brothers and sisters pick on me because I'm bisexual, an anime fan, scene, and atheist. And they're not the only ones. Kids at school pick on me and expect me to be someone else. My parents don't really like who I am either. Sometimes its hard to be myself because I'm afraid that I might be embarrassed.
Be who you are don't let what people say get to you. 😊
I know I am going to get a lot of hate by saying this... Being bisexual isn't that great. It's not good for the society and future generations..just..just .... I'm tired of it.
somehow, theirs a difference between a child growing with anime(they become sensitive and with their Character?they're more like playing an anime character, with their attitude and the way they think and behave) and a child that grows without anime just isnt as fragile as those of child that grows with anime
Who you are is who you are. Don't let others determine how you should act. You will meet people that you will click with. Just keep on keeping on. Those haters will one day realize that you are a cool person if they get a chance to get to know you. Just show them your positive energy and give them as many opportunities as possible to do so.
What ever they do to you, act as if they are greeting you and greet them back by their name. They will change if they are a cool person.
Luna, don't let them bother you. It sounds cliche, but the ones who accept you truly are the only ones that matter.
As a trans boy, this song hits so hard. I know it’s not the purpose of the song but “who is that girl I see staring straight back at me”-
LIKE- TELL ME NOT TO CRY. DO IT.
hits likes bricks
Same
I love that you did both versions😄😊
Thanks.
Cookiecat12345 your welcome😊

nothing beats the original- Congrats LEA SALONGA
I love Lea's version more her voice is gold. Christina's version is beautiful too.
+Iamqueen lea I completely agree with you! Lea's voice is just so elegant and wonderful. Christina's is nice, too.
+Khione Kun christina trys to hard but shes got talent
+Iamqueen lea i feel christina's version represents mulan better though, however i completely agree that lea's version sounds much stronger and more elegent
Lea’s the singing voice of Mulan though. Christina’s version is also nice.
I like the original version better, but I like the additional lyrics of the full version.
I love Mulan and this song, I can't help but understand her for what she's going through, the song always seems to speak to my heart..
Oh the voice from our National Treasure Lea SALONGA from the Philippine and she also the voice of Alladin Jasmine on a whole new world
@@nads7290 its not christina who wrote the song it was Matthew Wilder and David Zippel performed by lea salonga for the disney movie mulan which being cut and made it into a smaller version. And later christina sang the full version and made it her first debut single album
@@nads7290 no problem its all for the music :)
@@angeloortega3385 wait wasnt Christina sang it first and the they used it in the movie or am I wrong?
@@joannak3821 its Lea the one who sang it first, christina just sang it later and made it her debut album
@@angeloortega3385 oh yeah sorry i just search that up
I hated middle school. I was never able to be myself and I was so scared of others opinions. this speaks so much to me since I'm usually so quiet around students at school.everyone thinks im weird and a pushover. they say things sarcastically to me and they usually feel uncomfortable and think I'm weird because I'm so quiet. They tease me just bc they think they look cooler. It's so scary. At home I'm literally the loudest one. I talk way too much and crack jokes and have so much fun spending time with my fam and friends. I literally talk a storm with ppl I'm comfy with. I hate being this way and letting people get me down and teasing and think they're "cooler" than me. Ppl talk behind me back.
For high school, I plan to change and BE myself in school. I'll talk a storm and won't care. And I'll be so happy and confident, I know it. I learned to be more happy with myself this summer. I will be so happy this year and I'll be so glad to be myself bc that's what i plan on doing and also,
I will never pick on quiet people. I'll be friends with them and be kind to EVERYONE. I plan to stop others from "teasing" and "stepping over people" bc they think theyre cooler than them. It's not right to talk behind people's back bc you THINK you're better and more popular and cooler. Its so not cool. I'll stpp everyone and make them realize how rude it is.
I see that this post was 2 years ago, so I hope it worked out for you. It didn't for me. I always said I'll be different this year, I'm going to talk and be myself - but when it came down to it, it never worked. It wasn't until college that I was able to break away from everyone else's ideas of me as "the girl who never talks" and finally come into my own. And a big part of this was that it was all new people and I could feel free to reinvent myself rather than being constrained by other people's ideas of me.
Sophia C I can relate a lot to you.I am also a quiet person but it hurts that people also talk behind my back. My bffs best friend talked bad about me and her.I just hate how people criticize you just because you aren’t cool.
i was sorta the same way im still in middle school but its super tough cause im friends with someone that is depressed and wants to kill herself and one of my "popular" friends said that she was weird and physio i couldn't even believe that one of my friends was seriously pulling that crap the girl that got called that is someone that i hang out with everyday at lunch and at most of our classes that we have together i so wanted to say to my "popular friend" *that that was extremely rude you cant judge a person from how they look or act its their life if you don't like it than keep your opinion to yourself.*
Christina Wolfarth please help your friend who wants to kill herself and let her know that she’s not alone and that she’s cared for , help her and tell her that it will get better because it always does I know from experience, but really help her before it’s too late , and your “popular friend” needs to stop because she isn’t better than anyone
One of Disney's best creation wish they could produce another master piece like this💜💜💜🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Hearing this and realizing that Leah S actually sang this songs makes me a proud Filipino. ❤️
Hell yeah! No mask! Be yourself!
I always sing in front of the mirror every time i go shower..
"Who is the girl I see
staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know"
Lea Salonga's version is very soothing, relaxing. Christina Aguilera's version almost ruptured my eardrums.
dudeee mulan is my number 1 disney princess film HANDS DOWNNN. everything about her character is realistic and beautiful and just remarkably inspiring
I can relate to this song because while I've never had any serious issues with parents or other people, I always lacked self esteem. Like I felt 'different' and 'shy', and didn't live up to standards (or that I was letting people down). When I was in my 20s I used to listen to this song all the time because, even though it's a sad song, somehow I felt at peace with it. Maybe because it made me realize I'm not the only person who felt "lost" (I realize now that being in your 20s is an emotionally confusing time in your life - you're still 'growing up').
lisardo weisert same
mulan is based on a chinese folklore
she was indeed a girl and broke the gender stereotype at that time
but no gay or transgender implications guys
criticism and interpretations do take on a life of its own at times
That's how criticisms and interpretations work jackass. If you knew anything about post modern theory you would understand....the author is dead after all!
I really like the Lea salonga and Suhyun's version..i don't think the english version suits this song really well. Don't get me wrong christina aguilera's voice has her own plus BUT for a disney song that's supposed to tell A STORY, her interpretation of reflection focuses too much on her own vocal abilities and she puts too much ornaments in it. It's like she doesn't care what the song's about at all and just tries to sing greatly, it doesn't sound natural
Exactly
Lea Salonga's version is soooo emotional, for me. The best!
