WOW, she has pipes!

[@Jimbojub]

Hands down the best singing princess. And she is so stunningly beautiful

[@kaylalezabeth7175]

I can't quite determine who's the best, but she is one amazing singer.

[@ashleywalker3167]

[@ratonadebiblioteca98]

+Jimbo Jub Lea Salonga is also awesome.

[@eleven-hopper]

I think Rapunzel has the best disney princess voice

[@sallysue8176]

Sleeping beauty

[@brittney5859]

Am I the only one that thinks she is the spitting image of her character?

[@chr1s415]

Right she looks like tiana lol! It would have been awesome if she had a green dress on!

[@aniyacoleman9748]

WOW she can sing and she 42! I thought she was 29!👍

[@streisand2391]

This song is SOOO underrated

[@squidkid7454]

and this movie!

[@RockStarHouseBand]

I'd sing it everyday walking to school my senior year

[@christinescorner1858]

She is an amazing singer you don't need any kind of autocorrections for her she sounds the exact same as the movie recording- such a rare quality to find these days

[@lilly-kj3lr]

I know right?

[@panmantequilla9663]

Her voice, face, and teeth are perfect.

[@moco9478]

she sings with such ease it just makes me want to get up and dance, one of my favorite disney songs

[@saramisonohara]

I really love her voice since "Dreamgirls".

[@theslaytoendyourfaves]

yasssss

[@dman79123]

You couldn't have stopped the "YAS" from leaving my mouth if I was there omg

[@naomitcarrasco]

There's not ANYBODY more perfect for this role

[@BethieBlood]

I love how she's getting into the beat! She's smiling and dancing a little bit. 😄

[@yourmomsmuff7828]

She's so pretty!!!

[@cateylove123]

She's so pretty omg

[@ForeverSunnyy]

She's stunning!!!!

[@lilly-kj3lr]

Ow did she hold that note out for so long?!?! I would've pasted out if I did it that long

[@MastigosAtLarge]

I know this was three years ago, BUT STILL, no one responded yet =). Training with certain instruments--like flute and voice--necessitates learning different breathing techniques to hold notes for long periods of time. Singers also don't breathe through our nose to sing (or really at all, it's become a force of habit for me). We breathe with our diaphragm. Put your hands at the base of your rib cage, with your thumbs on your sides, and your fingers curving in towards each other. When you breath, your fingers should pull away. When you exhale, they should come back to each other. We focus everything on the core, and build our internal muscles. And I don't mean this as like to show off or anything, but that particular note is actually not held for very long, to give you an example. Most singers who work really hard at this can sing for a minute straight without breathing. Additionally. Sometimes songs are written with very little time to breathe in the middle, too, not just the end. So, we have to be able to hold our breaths for really, really long, and also find creative ways to sneak breaths in there, because sometimes, we have to go for a long, long time. I do sing on my channel, if you're interested, but if you aren't, I can give you examples and other resources that aren't mine.

[@chr1s415]

What the person above me said and with passion and love for the song lol

[@taehyungschicken]

Stunning! And finally a black princess :) Its funny that the singers kind of look like the characters

[@flowersrockthenight]

Sometimes the animators get inspiration for the character designs from their voice actors.

[@whitedragoness23]

Flameheart from Thunderclan who else would be better to get the inspiration from?

[@emmaharvey4625]

My favorite princess is Tiana! (I'm pretty sure that's how you spell it😂) but we all need a New Orleans princess once in a while:) love this movie

[@cheesecake2545]

that long note at the end was just awesome. Hands down! She's Tiana! The studio version and this version doesn't have any difference.. she sounds the same! Awesome lady! I adore her voice!
