Darren and Mori were handpicked by Disney to sing this song as part of their promotion in the region.

[@judethaddeustelmoso4174]

Morissette and Darren blend so well...they're pairing is so perfect, Darren is sound like Disney Prince and Morissette like Disney Princess.Perfect Pair for World Disney Movie.

[@spotontv7878]

Morissette is a phenomenal Singer and so is Darren. I know Darren because of Morissette. Mori is a great story teller, if you want another Broadway song cover by her I suggest react to " She Used To Be Mine " by Sara Bareilles ( The Waitress). Thank you for your awesome reaction!

I know nothing about music but when I bump to morrisette here at YT singing Secret love song by little Mx, i got instantly hook to her singing talent, and beautiful voice, so mesmerizing ughhh

[@obe22099]

I don't think he can reach those notes anymore just like he wouldn't be able to reach these notes back when he did chandelier. His post puberty range flipped and I'm super happy it didn't end up taking his career. There was no guarentee that a child will still sound good as an adult.

[@graceemarie8046]

@@obe22099 I watched one of Darren's interview before this performance he said he actually practice a lot to get his voice low like this for this song because he usually sing high songs.

[@awmf___]

They aren't easy at all you have to be a top notched singer to sing disney songs.... they seemed to be easy because they're good singers so good that it seems to be easy... you need to have good focus throughout the song😉

They are hard and complex, at the same time, if done correctly, they are beautiful and emotional

No one can sing a disney voice, thus it was amazing that lea salonga the original singer of it got second of it.

[@sarahgemmapadrelanan5515]

try morisette 's duet with daryl ong....You are the Reason. Another amazing duet.

[@rueldemesa2707]

Darren is one of the best malr vocalist out there. I think his voice here is in an adolescenti transition stage. He was a soprano in his song cover of I Believe. It's one his best including the Phantom of the Opera, which was sung in his tenor voice. Morissette has this Disney princess voice quality. I think they used this version in the Aladin version that was shiwn in the Philippines. Thanks for the reaction.

[@Orholam5]

Maybe I need to listen to other songs but based on this performance alone he’s mediocre at best

[@Rosannasfriend]

There was nothing mediocre about this performance… The man doesn’t typically have a whole lot to do in terms of flash and high notes in this song. He handled that very well with great quality. If you’re looking for high notes, you can look for things that he did when he was younger, and recent things like his quarantine performances, as well as the Phantom of the opera.

[@edjenosorio4808]

@@Orholam5 mediocre? The way you comment this without any backstory on this boy made you one! The song exactly needs the brightness like his voice sounded here! You know nothing about music but here you are saying such things?

[@charfree6888]

@@Orholam5 yeah.u need to listen to more of his stuff.👍

[@obe22099]

I won't be a contrarian who exists only to fulfill their purpose in life like someone else here. I do have to admit this song has to be appreciated for what it is. Disney specifically asked to keep vocal acrobatics out. Morissette has multiple octaves below and above what she sang, that would be inappropriate for this song and would have made her look like a crazy oversinging lunatic with zero self awareness. Same applies to Darren, he had even less room to play with for this song.

[@steveheckle8847]

This girl is the great impersonater, I don't mean of singers, I mean the genre's, give her a song and she fits her voice into it, you couldn't pigeon hole this girl into any one category because she's so unbelievable in all of them, she could make albums of every genre under the sun, just check out her live stage performances, she's unreal, I think the I am telling you, the song she sang on her home coming concert in Cebu is one of her best performances, and it was her final song of the concert, she had already done 28 songs and she sang it like it was her first.

[@Orholam5]

That’s my issue with a lot of Filipino singers. They emulate and don’t innovate or make it their own. I love when they sing their own original songs because it’s truly where they shine. Performances like this one are just lackluster

[@steveheckle8847]

@@Orholam5 that, I am telling you, became a Morissette song, even Jennifer Holliday reacted in amazement at her rendition on twitter.

[@Rosannasfriend]

I don’t think this RFW person has watched a whole lot. There are a lot of songs were they make it their own, with vocal rearrangements as well as musical rearrangements. Filipinos have gotten more creative over the years. I used to have the same complaint about a decade ago, that has changed.

[@kitinehidalgo4583]

Then maybe “chameleon” would be a better word to use..? Impersonator sounds more like aping or parroting, and doesn’t give a very positive connotation.

[@steveheckle8847]

@@kitinehidalgo4583 your so very right, the problem with Morissette, is finding the right words to describe her, amazing, fantastic, unbelievable just don't seem good enough.

[@abenapoleon3473]

Thank you for an informed industry analysis of their duet. Darren is just coming into his own, and Mori, as you know, is on the brink of international stardom, I believe. Her repertoire shows her versatility: singing a Korean ballad in 3 languages; rockin' and rappin' in her Jessie J cover, Ain't Been Done; showing her old school style in the Moon River/Usahay mashup; inspiring in her recent original Phoenix. Mori's incredible breath control and astounding vocal range are just part of her talent arsenal. Her stage presence is also impressive, as evidenced by the live performances at the 2017 and 2018 Asia Song Festival.

[@eviive8496]

I vote for Darren Espanto & Morissette doing Aladdin on Broadway!!!

[@Eggsther]

To answer your question, Yes. Daren usually sings that way in like a smile-like style

[@thecutest23]

I haven't heard much of darren after the voice kids philippines as well as when his voice started to change. This is really beautiful. Thanks for sharing boss. These two are products of singing contests in the philippines. They didn't win but they are more popular that the winners of their batches. Excellent boss. You seem having those "i am in love" feels while watching. Haha super proud Another fun fact about darren. He is canadian. :)

[@jovitaaquino4664]

UNBELIEVABLE GIFTS OF VOICES!

[@chattcedric6321]

Tnx Marc for appreciating these amazing Pilipino Artists especially on vocal technicalities and all your comments really fit their talents. No wonder why Disney especially handpicked them on recording a Sound Track of this Iconic Song for the Asian Promotions of the Movie. And Disney invited them (darren was not able to come) to see the Composer himself, Alan Menken, and Mori had a duet with him while the Genie, Will Smith looks on. Tnx for mentioning Lea Salonga too.

[@Rosannasfriend]

I think you would like the Phantom of the opera by Darren. That’s probably the next most theatrical thing he’s done.

Great video once again! If you want to check out more of Darren's performances, you should check out his cover of "I Believe" by Fantasia. It's on the Wish bus again, but he was younger when he sang it. It's an amazing performance and definitely worth a look.

It's so touching to see you smile the entire time, Marc, to witness how music done with perfection reaches your core - but also give us an insight on what do do, what to try, to make not just Disney magic like this happen!

Darren's my favorite teen singer to adult singer transition haha. I loved his voice when he was younger because of how great he is with those flavorful runs, but when he went to puberty and his voice got deeper his sound just sounded even better to my ears. These artists don't seem to release a lot of music though so my Spotify doesn't have a lot of their songs.

[@paramitch]

Another great performance and reaction! And the added humor as always was so funny here (loved the "I Don't Wanna Cry" interjection, plus the "O Canada" theme at Darren's intro). Morissette and Darren's voices really do blend perfectly, and one of my favorite things about this performance is that the two of them looked so happy and comfortable together that they really seemed able to sing it "in the moment," and each of them really provided so much reaction and emotion even while the other was singing. So it just increased that sense of connection between them -- and was absolutely sublime when their voices blended. They'd be perfect choices to play these roles onstage.

[@obe22099]

I watched your other videos and I appreciate how genuine you are. I'm here because of Morissette but I can see your passion when it comes to musical theater and that's something I didn't fully understand from your first video with her but I rewatched it and I agree with your perspective.

[@ShanLiB]

In every duet I've heard with Morissette, the reactors say things like, "They belong together", or "They are a perfect match", or "They should get married" (OK, maybe not that one). But, she just makes it seem so effortless to match up in a duet. Even doing really difficult things, like harmonizing in runs and riffs. She never tried to take control or overpower the other singers (which she could easily do). She's the perfect partner, always making things better. In this one it just seems to me that she is using her "Disney" voice, which she crafts just for this song. Taking a break from being a Phoenix to be a Princess for a little while.

[@timparker682]

Morissette is perfectly incredible as princess

[@erwincgamboa]

If you have soft spot for vocal acrobatics, do check Mori‘s rendition of Mariah‘s Fly like a bird. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@eduardsonevangelio]

I like ur reaction and criticisms. I can see that they are really objective and are based from ur experience and expertise. I kind of agree with u with what u said at ur first reaction with Morissette, that she sometimes loses the connection or doing some inappropriate gestures or expressions. But I believe, after being a fan of hers for 3 years, where I watched countless of her videos and performances, I can undoubtedly say that she has improved so so so much. She was 19 on the Defying Gravity perf u reacted to and obviously there’s a lot of room for improvement. Which I gradually saw through the years with back to back performances. That’s how she grew on me. Even being gifted with such a beautiful voice, she never stopped on improving and continues to work hard. She strives all the time to be the best version of herself, giving her all in every perf. This is why I admire her so much. Her dedication, passion, and hard work are just admirable. You can check out her performances in Asia’s Song Festival 2017 & 2018 or other performances between 2018 up to this date. She’s just unstoppable. She’s a force to reckon with. Her growth is really insane. Plus she is a kind-hearted and very down-earth-human being. She had her mishaps, failed performances because of tiredness and few mistakes, but she never let those stop her or discourage her. In fact, she even gives a thousand percent better perf after those mishaps. She is just an amazing person and performer. I hope you could react to her performances more. I learn a lot from you. Thank you so much ❤️❤️

This is the most on point reaction of this video I've ever seen! From Darren's smiling vocal technique to Mori's heartfelt connection to the song, awesome! Darren used to have a super high pitch during his pre-adolescent age (try watching Darren and Morisette's duet of Chandelier , Wish anniversary) and this is one of his early post adolescent song. His rendition of an excerpt from Phantom of the opera is also stunning.

Darren sang Phantom of the Opera in a concert with 2 more Filipino singers. It was upload here in You Tube. Darren used to have a high voice in his younger years as he grows older his tone changes so that was a challenge and he pulled it through😊

[@lzllz0024]

Beautiful and perfect combination of voice ( duet ) of Morissette and Darren is great and amazing.

[@BoraViolin]

Really enjoyed this review, no disagreements! As others have said, Disney handpicked both to recreate this for the Official Live Action version of Aladdin representing the Philippines. They chose correctly! This particular upload went viral. Morissette has spoken about how this all came together. She remarked how very strict Disney is when it comes to their projects, so lots of time and care was put into this. Darren is still quite young (19) and is the vocal Male equivalent of Morissette. Her ability in this genre is no accident, both her Mentors (Manager and Advisor) have Musical theater as their backbone, that is their Wheel House. Morissette is also fortunate to be close with the greatest of all time Ms Lea Salonga. Lea adores Morissette and is probably one of her biggest cheerleaders. Morissettes manager hinted at another Disney project sometime last year, but the Pandemic has flipped everything upside down. I'm not sure what happened with that. This was indeed spot on. Looking forward to seeing both of these young talents back on this channel.

[@Orholam5]

I would not venture to say she’s well suited for anything Broadway or Disney. She can sing the notes like no other but I don’t know if she just doesn’t understand the style or if it’s the language barrier but there’s just no magic, it doesn’t move like a Jeremy Jordan or Stephanie Vosk

[@juzdion]

Your ears really got problem. Your the.0001 percent of those who cannot accept that these guys are genius on their own skills. 😁😜

[@Orholam5]

Joe Joe maybe you’re not as versed in musical theatre or the Disney style and just judge this based on vocal aptitude alone. Listen to Lea Salonga singing this. That’s a true vocal wizard within these genres

[@BoraViolin]

@@Orholam5 May I ask why you didn't just post this in response to the owner of this channel as a stand alone post to him? He was actually far more of an advocate for her in this area. I'm just posting an opinion, and definitely not looking for an argument.
