It's like it's 1992 all over again and we're
eight years old watching Aladdin, obsessing over Jasmine's triple-bumped
hair, crushing on Aladdin the hunky diamond in the rough and wishing
desperately for a prince to take us on a magic carpet ride even though it's
probably super dangerous.
But more than anything, we wanted to have a voice
like Lea Salonga, who is and always will be the original (singing) voice
of Princess Jasmine. And 22 years later, she can still nail the crap out of
"A Whole New World."
Salonga, who won a Tony Award for her role in Miss
Saigon, is currently traveling the world with the opera supergroup Il Divo for
their "A Musical Affair" tour, and apparently the Oscar-winning song
is part of their act. Trust us, "A Whole New World" will still give
you goose bumps, thanks in most part to the Filipina beauty and her angelic
voice.
For comparison, you can watch Salonga, who was
also the voice of Mulan, and Brad Kane's (Aladdin's singing voice) original
1992 recording session at the website below.
