Moira dela Torre sings Mulan Theme Song and fans questioned why it’s not Lea Salonga
Mulan Theme Song – Fans questioned why the privilege to sing the theme song of the live-action movie Mulan was given to Moira dela Torre and not to Lea Salonga.
Disney recently announced that for the local release of the said movie, Moira will be the voice behind it. However, many fans expressed dismay on social media that Lea will not be the one singing the song Reflection.
It is known to many that the Broadway star was the original singing voice of Mulan in its animated version. Lea has earned the tag “Disney Princess” because she was also the singing voice of Princess Jasmine in the animated film Aladdin.
On Wednesday, the hashtag “#LeaSalonga” became a trending topic on Twitter. Several Disney fans pleaded, cried out, and somehow hoped that Lea will sing Reflection instead of Moira.
