[@Sara-hz9zk]

Can we talk about how gorgeous "Far Longer Than Forever" is? I feel like it never gets nearly enough credit as it should...the delicate piano, Liz's voice...what perfection. Just a great song.

[@danielachamorro8783]

I LOVE that movie and that song

[@hayleydoesthings]

I love her sense of humor and the fact that she doesn’t take herself too seriously. She made my childhood as Odette’s singing voice in Swan Princess. I’m so thankful for her talent.

[@abigailglosson4643]

Dang I didn’t realize she auditioned for so many princesses and didn’t get them! That’s insane!

[@Talezassian]

Lots of people audition: but I suspect she got a lot further than a lot of the others!

[@simplystreeptacular]

The kicker is that eventually, she got *all of them.* :D

[@dreamsteddybearsmaster]

[@duhneez2068]

Kevin Tupas for real!! Their singing voice is soo identical (plus Liz sang as Jasmine in Aladdin 2&3). Love that they were both in Miss Saigon

[@CalebBarrus382]

She’s a Disney Princess now...with Disney’s $71.3 billion purchase of Fox, Anastasia is now a Disney Princess...let’s see if Disney will actually recognize her and welcome Anastasia to the Disney family! LOL

[@juliacicchino2376]

Caleb Barrus they won’t =\ Disney purposely went out of their way to try and keep Anastasia unsuccessful when it premiered. They are much more likely to minimize her than add her to the line up BUT I think they should because she’s kind of the best (:

[@CalebBarrus382]

Julia Cicchino I agree...she’s the best and better than any Disney Princess...this was my favorite animated cartoon of the 1990’s!! And Liz’s VOICE...WOW

[@jaybae9093]

She always was, she does the singing voice for Kiara in The Lion King 2 - Simba's Pride :)

[@nameyourchannel838]

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

@Daniela Chamorro Swan Princess is really flawed even if it has moments. Anastasia is on Disney level however which makes sense since Bluth used to work for Disney. I would not say it’s better than average however.

[@ashareeoo]

La-la-looooove her! All these years I never realized she'd sung "Good day!" in Belle, wow.

[@meangirl714]

Ashley N I DIDNT KNOW EITHER OR THE SILLY GIRL!

[@grayk7455]

Ashley N I always thought it was Belle who sung that part! It sounds very similar

[@SunburntComposer]

I always got confused listening to that part in the song because that line sounded so beautiful, I thought it was the woman already singing Belle. Now knowing it was Liz Callaway, it makes sense why it was so beautiful.

[@GerardoTonella]

I KNOW

[@Thomas_H._Smith]

Not gonna lie, I always thought that was just Paige O'Hara's voice.

[@debbiebieber1031]

Gosh..... Her tryouts inspired me.

[@debbiebieber1031]

DEREK WAS ALSO THERE!!!!!! DIDN'T THEY SING TOGETHER????

[@tomgallowitz]

Pretty sure she was genuinely happy for Lea with Aladdin but was a tad angry and disappointed when she didn’t get it so she channeled it into her performance of Ellen in Miss Saigon

[@stephenvalentinemusi]

Liz Callaway is absolutely my fave voice to have ever come out of Broadway. So clear and pristine, even as she ages. She literally taught me how to sing in those roles.

[@laurenredding1419]

Just the one harmony on the bimbos part in "Belle" was startlingly good. Why was it so good?

[@MatSwim94]

i mean... with her voice she could just sing all princesses' songs and i totally wouldn't mind.

[@lavendermagic84]

I've been a long time fan of Liz Callaway, but even I didn't know she sang the "Good day!" part in Belle. Ever since I was a kid, I thought that was just a little cameo line that Paige O'hara contributed because it sounded like a Disney princess voice lol

[@geminfinite]

I was SO SAD when she cut off Once Upon A December *right at the crescendo* and thEN SHE PICKED IT RIGHT BACK UP AT THE END THANK YOU JESUS 😭

[@junnnerrr]

When Adam Jacobs showed up and they did Out of Thin Air together I almost bawled in public lol

[@danielachamorro8783]

Julia Junn I knew it was coming and I still started beaming

[@marshroanoke]

'Out of Thin Air' is definitely the best Disney sequel song

[@xBeyondMystery]

Woah I didn't know she auditioned for Belle, Ariel, Jasmine, Pocahontas and Swan Princess! And that she sang Love will find a way as Nala too! and she sang those lines in Bonjour also, she's so funny and her voice is so well taken care of :) such a gem.

[@phirah79]

When she started to sing "Out of Thin Air" I had this intense shock of memory. I don't remember watching the Aladdin sequel when I was a kid but I must have because all of a sudden I realized that I know all the words to this song. She did such an amazing performance of it. I love this video.

[@Forgotten_Lore]

I can see why she got to the bottom 3 for Belle, I always thought that "good day" WAS Belle when I was growing up (till I learnt what the internet was and learnt that no, it was not Paige) as she could be a perfect substitute for Page

[@kulolo808]

Her voice is so underrated...CAN WE NOT FORGET ABOUT HER AMAZING ROLE IN MISS SAIGON???!

[@Aldrius]

I feel like the most impressive thing to me in this video is that she does that Gaston riff from Belle. It's such a nice sounding verse.

[@fathersodear825]

I put Liz Callaway pretty high up on the list of "names people should know but probably don't" in theatre, along with Judy Kuhn and Donna Murphy.

[@rachelkit8485]

I never knew she was Kiara. I only knew her from Anastasia. She voiced all my favorite characters and Love will find the way is always my favorite.

[@paulamusik2509]

She sang both "Love will find a way" and "far longer than forever"?! Two of my absolute favorite film duets of all time

[@jeciel85]

That "Good day" was beautiful.

[@laurenconrad1799]

Liz Callaway is my favorite person. Just seeing someone be real and raw about what show business takes but who is also happy and positive and thrilled at all opportunities she did get is just wonderful. It's like therapy but in youtube video form. lol

[@rachelpark2674]

Her voice is timeless. I always have tears in my eyes when she sings, she’s truly a Disney legend and deserves every bit of recognition. Thank you making my childhood, Liz!

[@cassandrarose11]

I've been singing with her all my life. She is a princess through and through

[@TheCNRProject]

I thought that "Good Day!" was Liza Callaway in Beauty and the Beast! Just goes to show how recognisable her voice is. She's preserved her voice so beautifully, it's been so many years since her original recordings and there is still a very youthful clarity and resonance to her voice.

[@dominiquewong4706]
