[@wadoryugirl4219]

Why isnt she cast in more Disney films? Her voice is so beautiful and natural no need to belt a vocal to get a reaction. Pure and one of best voices to this day, better than the current ott voices Disney has going.

[@litx30]

Wado Ryugirl She’ll get cast in the future

She’s already a Disney legend, others deserve a chance too. There’s such thing of too much of a good thing, you can find plenty more content of her apart from Disney too.

[@dontpugme]

[@thewindrises]

The amazing thing about Lea is you don't just see her singing on big stages or on Broadway or in Disney movies. You also see her singing in real life, in her home with her $30 dollar Apple earbuds, in a bar singing to her friends without even a microphone or just by the street with minimum equipment. How many singers can actually do that? She is an OG Disney princess but she never takes herself seriously. She is funny and has a bubbly personality. A lot of Disney fans don't even know who Lea is, but if they find out, they will be a life long fan.

[@hearttune98]

I hugged Lea Salonga before, and now she's singing with Lin-Manuel. THAT'S IT. I CONSIDER MYSELF HAVING SECOND-DEGREE ASSOCIATION WITH HIM. (consolations of a theatre fan who'll never view Hamilton when Lin is inside)
