To me, the original sounds more soft and romantic while the new version sounds more exciting and adventurous. I think they both work well personally.

[@j0j01192]

Which works with the concept of “a whole new world”

[@Malon2006]

The only reason the old one sounds too 'disney' is because you grew up associating it with Disney. Lea Salonga's voice is crystal clear and effortlessly beautiful without any autotune. She has tons of chemistry with the male singer here who I personally think sounds way better than the guy in the remake. The remake couple doesnt sound good together and it has autotune.

[@anthonyanderson9303]

Yea the chemistry is better in the original. The dude in the remake is not as strong a singer and thus they tone him down in the mix compared to Naomi who is a strong singer.

[@kimuraishidakurasakiniduaz8683]

and i watch the behind the scene of the original leah's voice is pure and with pronunciation of each word and they dont use auto tune so i agree with you completely

[@boborambles]

I love both versions! Lea definitely has the more Disney princess sound, and Naomi has more of the pop sound, not so much head/falsetto/breathy sound that Lea had. But I love both just the same! The original animated, nothing beats an original, but live action is still awesome! The music is fire in both!

[@darkhorse4122]

[@AubreyMichelle09]

I absolutely adore Naomi’s voice. The growth since lemonade mouth is astounding.

[@TentenchiAMVs]

The major problem with the new version for me is that the tone was changed into a one-sided power balled or something. Aladdin is supposed to be serenading Jasmine. His part actually still sounds like it but with a different approach, but (and here's the main problem I have) Jasmine sounds like she's trying to one-up Aladdin's performance which takes away from the romantic intentions of the scene. They needed to pick a lane. Go all out with power vocals for both characters, OR go with the more causal approach for both characters. It just doesn't feel like a love song anymore. >_>

[@theboricuaboy]

no it’s better, he’s exited to show her the world and finally getting her out that palace while he’s exited the moment is happening. the vocals add to that. and their excited that their doing that together: way better then the original which has no flavor. pls look at the bright side of things.

[@TentenchiAMVs]

@@theboricuaboy @1g0cr8zy8 I was looking at the bright side. They're both very talented and skilled performers. Either approach would have been a great cover of a beautiful song. But I'm also being realistic. Jasmine and Aladdin sound like they're singing two very different versions of the song. It's okay if you prefer the newer version, but I don't like it. I just see missed potential. 😔

[@moreandmore7962]

I kinda disagree. Jasmine (the new version) was so happy that she finally see the world, she poured her emotions in the song, hence she was belting, to show how happy she was. It's still feel like a serenading song though, with Jasmine responding with enthusiasm

[@TentenchiAMVs]

@@moreandmore7962 It's okay you feel that way. And I'm glad you like it. But for me, Aladdin and Jasmine were presented as equals from different walks of life in the original Disney version. They had a duet rather than a lead singer and supporting singer. This change demonstrates to me (along with other changes made) that Jasmine is the primary focus of the film, with Aladdin being recast as a supporting role. This is fine if the story were re-written to support this change, but it wasn't. This song just becomes another moment of Jasmine demonstrating that she's selfish even though the movie tries to say she isn't. But that's just my opinion. 🙄

[@asnwolf4507]

i completely agree. Naomi is singing her heart out and Mena sounds like hes holding backs sometimes "dont-you-dare-close-your-eyes". and the way he says "decide" is kind flat, just because its different doesnt mean its better, idk why Audrey was so impressed. Mena is also competing with the added bass track. the music is so much more commanding in the remake, kinda drowns him out. other than that his singing is fine. for me, the context/visuals of the song (2019) is my biggest problem. 1992 aladdin forgot to be "Prince Ali" and was genuinely interacting with jasmine on the carpet. its where jasmine saw the real him. it was fake-confidence turned genuine. 2019 aladdin was fake-awkward turned confident. his "prince Ali" was awkward, but then he rolled up as aladdin like, "girl, ive got a magic carpet. let me show you a good time." and any interactions on the carpet were obscured by bad visuals (and Naomi being preoccupied with her song). And theyre not actually seeing the world. they just fly around Agrabah. all they really see is the desert and the river, and its too cloudy for an "endless diamond sky" which couldve been extra beautiful with cgi (imo).

[@garyluayon7806]

Let's face the fact the old one is more magical specially in 'Unbelievable sights, Indescribable feeling Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling Through an endless diamond sky' it's so magical bro you feels you're part in the movie.

[@Waterboyr]

I sort of like how in the original they don’t blend super well? I think Aladdin makes sense as a more brash voice as he himself is pretending to be a prince, and Lea does a great job at adding a soft side to an otherwise angsty character.

[@AubreyMichelle09]

Also Titanic stole that move from Aladdin since Aladdin came out 6 years prior. 😂

[@TheEarthsaysH3ll0]

I like the nostalgic one cause of how lea's voice is crystal clear and more Disney like

[@nataliedunn5239]

I personally prefer the original, but then that probably is nostalgia playing a big part, as the animated Aladdin was the very first film I ever saw in the cinema! My Godmother took me for my birthday and I left the cinema absolutely in love with the film, with my Godmother buying me a sticker book of the story in the cinema lobby! I do feel that the newer version is all about "look how well I can sing" rather than focusing on the lyrics or the character development going on in the song. But I am biased. I can enjoy the newer version in a playlist of songs, but it can never replace the love I have for the original.

[@LovedByYou]

It’s actually wild to think Mena (Aladdin) had never sung before this and only got vocal training while making the movie.he sounds good

[@anthonyanderson9303]

ehhh...he's okay at best.

[@SpySkater1]

Aladdin is my second favorite Disney animated film and I think Mena Massoud and Naomi Scott filled those shoes beautifully, especially Naomi. Her voice is so beautiful. I’d love to see more Aladdin stuff

[@kevthajum]

I didn't quite feel the same way about the live action version like the original animated song. Mostly because I'm not a huge fan of the instrumentals in the new one (despite the singing being almost just as good). The pure and light orchestral tones in the original make it more magical for me.

[@SourceOfBeing]

One thing I found interesting was that in the animated original, Aladdin is showing Jasmine the world, while in the live action remake, Aladdin is showing Jasmine her home country.

[@vex2788]

Hi! This song is so beautiful! I remember watching the live action in theatres when it first came out, and I was obsessed!

[@mmgringoire2]

The live action sounds a lot better than what I remember when I first saw it. I think the only thing that lessens it for me is the background and CGI are too dark and artificial. I don't feel like the characters are really flying in that environment.

[@RyLHatch1989]

It's funny that you talk about how deep the OG Aladdin's singing voice was, when Brad Kane (Aladdin's singing voice) was only 18-19 when the movie was being made and came out in 1992, and Lea Salonga, who did Jasmine's singing voice was 20-21.

[@TreXsJournal-Coming-Soon]

I get that, but she's saying the composition of the song should have been different, instead of making him to sing it that way.

[@darkhorse4122]

Aladdin was the first movie i saw on theatres when i was a kid and the live action one has a lot o differences but i can asure you it made my memory fly. I was in love again with the movie and the moment.

[@sakume7969]

Original lends itself better. Animation is just far more full of life and fun and beauty, whereas the action is very dark, very bland, very little happening. They did try with the dolphins at the end but it was such little done. Also if I recall correctly (I only saw the remake once because it was so uninteresting to me) they travel the kingdom but nowhere else, whereas in the animated "show you the world" takes on a new meaning as they literally seem to travel different places, Greece, China, Egypt, etc. I like that take more, its more fantastical.

[@Tonya-gi1ms]

Both versions are awesome

[@SevenEllen]

The original is unmistakably better because they have singers who are trained in their profession. This is what Disney deliberately does with these remakes: Uses them to cash in by coasting on the talent of the classics while NEVER outshining them ... or living up to them.

[@EricSmith-jo1lt]

Yepp, too much truth

[@elizat.3484]

Exactly, they have professional singers doing the singing part and not actors with autotune. This is also the reason why I’m disappointed with beauty and the beast live action

[@Purplekitty274]

The original is way better, in the new one they take away the little pauses that add mood to the scene like ‘don’t you dare close your eyes’. In the original she puts her hands over her eyes and the pause gives him a chance to open them back up for her. In the new one they’re just going down hill and he just says it like he just presumes she’s going to. It’s little details like that that take away chemistry between the characters and making them just read the lyrics and seem like they’re just going through the motions

[@renosplants1048]

It can't be a Titanic reference since Aladdin came out first lol, maybe Titanic was making an Aladdin reference. I like the singing in the new one, obviously, but the visuals are AWFUL. It's so dark, you can't see anything. It's supposed to be a MAGIC CARPET RIDE and there's nothing magical about it because it's so dark. There's no real way to tell what new things Jasmine is even getting to see and you can barely even see their faces during this moment when they're supposed to be falling in love. For that reason I think the original is still better overall.

I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch the live action version because I love the original so much. This was my first time hearing the live action version of this song. I felt like I was being shouted at, not serenaded on a magical adventure. Jasmine drowns out Aladdin and their styles don’t match each other one bit. The beginning of the song sounded so 2 dimensional where the original was more rich. There is a huge nostalgia factor for me but I’m not just hating on the live action films. I actually liked some of the live action songs from Beauty and the Beast - different but still keeping to the spirit of the original. This one just totally missed the mark for me.

[@reannagordon]

Naomi is clearly the better vocalist between her and Mena. Plus she is well connected to Disney since she was in the DCOM Lemonade Mouth and had the best solo song on the soundtrack, “She’s So Gone”.
