Colors of the Wind - Lea Salonga

Many Disney fans should recognize the name LEA SALONGA. If you don't recognize the name then perhaps you will recognize the voice. Lea Salonga was the singing voice for Jasmine in Aladdin and Mulan from Mulan I & II.

Her career started in the Philippines in 1978 when she was seven. She took part in many Broadway musicals including The King and I, The Sound of Music, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Annie. By the time she was seventeen she had already recorded two albums and starred in her own tv show, Love, Lea!

Her big break was moving to the UK to star as Kim in Miss Saigon, a role that she would reprise numerous times between 1988 and 2001. She continued to do many musicals and recorded many albums, the latest of which came out a month ago.

This cover of Colors of the Wind is taken from one of her live concerts in the Philippines in 2001. Lea has a great voice and I enjoy listening to her sing these classic movie songs. I think I even like her singing this song more than Judy Khun.
