It's because she doesn't need postprocessing, autotune and other edits not like other singers.

And suddenly the room grows quiet because everyone realizes that a freaking goddess is singing

[@thewindrises]

The amazing thing about Lea is you don't just see her singing on big stages with a full size orchestra behind her 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. 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 never stop loving her. That was my story.

[@sissyj9463]

Well said

[@fezzik7619]

How many singers can actually do that? All of them.

[@ShredPenguins]

@@fezzik7619 I've got a lot of singer friends, maybe 1/4 of them can sing this well on the fly without a mic or some measure of autotune. This shit was clean and clear and beautiful right away.

[@timecapsule5604]

100% correct there aren't many female or male singers even in her stratosphere no microphone no special equipment just brute talent and it sounds exactly like in the film and this is many years later what an incredible talent and person and very down to earth when she sings Reflection I get the chills it's the only version I would listen too. Christina Aguilera not even close she has a great voice but she is all over the place with her range.

[@beedatrottv8708]

Regine is right when she said that Leah is the only person she knows who can sang perfectly. nice!

[@m4giceyetr1x]

johnny Tapia When and where did she say that?

[@beedatrottv8708]

in an interview. thats her opinion tho.

[@m4giceyetr1x]

johnny Tapia Where can I find this interview? KZbin? Online article? Any link?

[@ladybutterflyme7979]

Ate Regine said Ms. Leah has a perfect pitch and while she has a relative pitch. Meaning madinig palang ni Ms. Leah ung note alam niya na while si Ate Reg need niya imemorize ung mga notes. Advantage din kay ate Reg kasi magaling siya mag memorize.

[@markjeromelaboc1354]

true. perfect pitch si lea pero halimaw din siya magmemorize kasi may photographic memory siya. In a documentary about lea's life, bata pa lang siya, ginagawa siyang praktisan ng lines ng mga co-artist niya sa theater kasi memorize niya lahat ng lines sa theater show na ginagawa nila.

[@dinoandes]

Still sounds like the album version. She's amazing.

it was Christina Aguilera who recorded the single which eventually bolstered her career. in the original soundtrack, however, both versions were included.

For anyone who record this thank you, we can hear the pure sound of Lea's voice. it's probably recorded by phone built in microphone, but her voice is a lot better sound than any singer studio version. This also the reason why Original Soundtract was sing by christina Aguilera, because they need a singer in that caliber who capable to steal the spotlight from the vocie actor.

Sorry, but Chrisina is not of the same caliber as her. Lea is far better in all aspects.
