      Lea is a very respectful to how the song is supposed to be sing. She never ad lib or put angst on the supposed high note part, to mask you hitting those high note. That is why if you listen to different YT videos of her singing one song, you can see that there are no difference.

    ("The Journey so Far" version)
    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
    How I pray, that a time will come
    I can free myself and meet their expectations
    On that day, I'll discover someway to be myself
    And to make my family proud
    They want a docile lamb
    No-one knows who I am
    Must there be a secret me
    I'm forced to hide
    Must I pretend that I am someone else for all time
    When will my reflection show, who I am inside
    When will my reflection show, who I am inside

    Let it go by Idina Menzel and Reflection by Lea Salonga are the BEST performance and lyrics produced by disney!

      Oh yeah. I honestly like this version better than Christina Aguilera's. Not to say Christina's version is bad, I just like this one better.

      I think Let It Go has a great message but the lyrics are pretty elementary. I'm biased because I grew up on 90's Disney, but even "Belle (Reprise,)" which is not even a minute long, is better than Let It Go.

      Aguilera's voice doesn't suit the princess image. She's a mezzo-soprano not a true soprano. Her voice texture is thick to be considered as a princess voice.

      I mean they’re just both different, but I agree, I’m a bit disappointed. I love the 2020 version, but if they’re bringing back Mulan, why not with the actual Mulan? The one that actually sang the song in the movie. She’s really good too so I just don’t get it. Or more so, I do get it (Christina is more mainstream and has more star power), I just don’t like it. I didn’t even know Christina was involved in Mulan when the Disney cartoon movie released. I had to read through several comments and watch Christina’s old version to realize she must have only sang on the physical release (OST) or credits or something and that’s why Lea Salonga’s version (cartoon Mulan’s singing voice) is the only version I knew.
      Edit: Having watched the movie now. I don’t understand why they did all this and didn’t have any of the songs in the movie. All the music was in the credits and the movie only contained like background music. Audio only versions with no singing. I liked the movie, but this was a bit disappointing. How could they not make a musical?
