She has risen to even greater heights - as did many of her fellow Mouseketeers.
Reflection mulan extended version movie#
When Christina accepted her Disney Legend award last year, she said that Disney made her feel like she could follow her dreams from a young age. My mother’s favorite moment from the concert in Naples was Salonga’s extended version of the song Reflection, from Disney’s Mulan (a movie that also brings up complex feelings that are perhaps better reserved for a future blog post). It's a great addition to a story about a girl who is so brave and strong but who definitely had to overcome a lot of obstacles, including her own self-doubt. She's also been a television personality, most notably as a host of "The Voice."Ĭhristina's vocals are legendary, and to hear her again on the "Mulan" soundtrack is like circling back to the beginning. She's gone on to sell more than 100 million records and win five Grammy Awards. That's a pretty big moment considering that it wasn't long after that, Christina was rivaling Britney for the biggest female act out there. Her first big breakout song was the original "Reflection," and Christina said that the soundtrack actually lead to her first solo album. She sang and danced as a Mouseketeer with Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Ryan Gosling. This was a lovely article! It was just as much fun reading as it was probably was writing for you.RELATED: Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway Has Special Feature For Guests Starting TodayĬhristina's Disney connection actually dates all the way back to the Mickey Mouse Club in 1993. I think those songs are more refreshing and admirable.Īlthough I love Mulan, I wish Reflection showed more of what Mulan wishes she could accomplish without being so whiny about what she didn't. Tiana feels passionately about her restaurant and is singing about when she got it and how she will build on it more, Pocahontas is singing about her adventures and goes down the path or excitement like she wants, and Elsa is singing about finally getting her first taste of freedom instead of her procrastination with going after it, and you can see the passion and thirst for knowledge about Elsa's capabilities within her. These girls are taking action and doing what they love and hope for instead of just saying, "When will my dream come true? I guess I'll go for it.tomorrow, or the day after, whichever." Like I feel Reflection and Part of your world exhibit. I think these are more the reasons Disney princess songs like Almost there, Just around the River Bend, and Let it go are some of my favorites. I don't like hearing either of these girls whining, let alone in a song that tries making the audience feel sorry for them. Just like Reflection, Part of your world is whiny, self-pitying, and Ariel acts like everybody else is wrong and at fault except for herself. These reasons are also why I dislike Part of your world. I love Lea Salonga's voice, but it was showcased in a whiny and bitter song. The extended version is even more whiny and it drags on for no reason. Acting like NOBODY sees who she is and that everybody else is in the wrong about her and she's in the right. Leftthetrain Very nice analysis! Reflection is actually one of the only things I dislike about Mulan, personally.
Well, that about wraps things up! Thanks so much for reading! Adios! I'll bet that you either a) are going to listen to the extended song right now or b) already have, haha.
:) You may want to check out my link song analysis of "If You Can Dream" from a while back. Mostly just emphasis on her desire to be herself no detectable bitternessĪnd there you have it! I hope you enjoyed leitura this, as I had a ton of fun composição literária it. amargo, amarga about these aforementioned wishes Emphasis on wanting personal freedom from society's wishes So, let's quickly compare and contrast the two. She's sick and tired of pretending to be someone she's not. Here, though, mulan seems amargo, amarga about the fact that society has set these expectations on her. However, in the movie version, she seems mostly disappointed that her efforts to fit in don't work, and she hopes that she'll be able to make her family proud someday. What makes the extended version and movie version similar is the fact that mulan obviously wants to be herself. This excerpt makes my point much mais clear.
