Lea Salonga is the singing voice of 2 Disney Princesses - Jasmine from Aladdin (the song “A Whole New World”) and Mulan (the song shown here - “Reflection”). She was also the original star of the musical MISS SAIGON in London (at age 18) and broadway (at age 20) and she won every major theater award for her portrayals. Lea has been performing professionally since at 7 - doing theater, albums, concerts, film and tv. (She is 52 now.) I agree that she can sing just about any genre - and she has sung a variety of songs in concert over the years.

I agree. Ph Govt. should support our singers here to be well-known more in different countries.

Running Man's Ji Suk Jin also knows Anak, and sang a few lines of it back on the early days of Running Man. And he briefly mention how popular the song was before not only in the PH or SK but internationaly and was translated to more than 20 languages.

BTOB covered Anak too when they toured in the PH before and they liked it (they had fun singing it but I’m not sure if they know the meaning of the song since they’re having fun so much 😅).

The way they reacted to "Anak" brought tears to my eyes

Not all songs in the video are OPM but all the singers are Filipinos and they’re all amazing!

yah.... aside from reflection that sung by leah.. but many filipino have the wrong notion of defining OPM... thry thought it only covers tagalog and other dialects from PH like bisaya.. but the truth is... OPM covers the song that has been made in the Philippines and by a filipino.. be it spanish or english or any other language.. the singer doesn't matter like in leah's case that's why it should not be categorized as OPM.. the lyrics and the music itself that matters... regardless of language used, as long as it has been made by a filipino in the philippines..

It's all OPM tho. Except for reflection. But Lea is the real singer of reflection. She is the real voice of that song. Opm means.original Filipino music.not only Filipino language even English songs made by Filipino musicians are also OPM

@ecilatnecniv I know that too. Original Filipino music.released in Philippines. Either tagalog, bisaya or English. As long as it's released in Philippines and produced by Filipinos it could be opm. Those being released outside can't be called opm.

The producers should have explained to the elders who Lea Salonga is. She's a famous musical actress in the UK, US and of course the Philippines. She was the original Miss Saigon at the age of 17? She sang in Les Miserables and of course Disney.

Music really transcends race, age and taste. The music may not be your genre but you can definitely appreciate the talent and passion of the singer. Love how they were kinda been transported back to their younger years. 😊❤

Yes the Cebuano had Spanish words arising from first contact from Ferfinand Magellan spanish expedition in 1521 then 1565 till 1865 being a colony of Spain for 333 years.

Never knew that Freddie Aguilar was that famous in Korea before BTS. That's Crazy. Salamat po🔥👍🏻

You should also check Regine Velasquez, she’s the Queen! Asia’s Songbird, Philippines best-selling artist of all time.

Challenge: Let these two watch another opm music but modern songs like amakabogera, pauwi nako, etch. I think it is interesting to watch their reaction hihi❤

our queen Pilita😊

Anak of Freddie didn't win in the first Metro Pop Festival when it was first introduced and heard. But that song, when was recorded and released commercially to the market, it became very popular in the Philippines and in East and Southeast Asia.

Anak은 세계적인 노래죠 아시아 노래 곡 중에서 세계에 가장 널리 퍼진 곡입니다. 그 당시 빌보드 핫백 상위에도 들었던 곡입니다. 각국 수많은 사람들이 커버 했었고 지금도 많은 사람들이 좋아합니다. Anak은 제가 가장 좋아하는 노래 열 손가락 안에 드는 노래입니다.

Original Pilipino Music, please rectifiy.

❤❤❤❤🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

I hope the reactors are given context about what they've watched. Just saying

I love music in the early 80's to 20 1st century

As much as you are happy knowing the song, i am so happy too ro know their is a a korean version and had been a hit too❤❤❤

It's crazy how famous Freddie was back in the days❤

The last person who sing is lea salonga who sing the original song reflection in Mulan movie

Wow this is so nice..next time try "Kundiman or Filipino fork song/dance"😊

Not English translation but with korean translation. That would be easier for them.

Its a shame, they dont pick a tagalog song to some of them but opm is gold truely,. ❤❤❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤

The first song wasn't Tagalog. I think it was Spanish (couldn't hear the aidio well, but I'm guessing because it's her.) So you said it sounded like French, cause they're both Romantic languages. 😊

Lea Salonga is International Broadway Super Star from the Philippines, she's the pride of the philippines. She brings honor to our country and Asia.

👍👍👍👍👍👍🇵🇭

Try listening to Gary Granada, not that famous but his songs are jazzy 😎

Lea sung that song

Dialects sounds different from different county ..

5:55 She's the original singer, Sir :)

Can they do the reaction video of Kristel fulgar.and el gamma penumbra,cheabal... please..tnx...kamsahamnida...komowayo

Lea is still very much active doing concert tours worldwide. One of the cast of HBO Max Pretty little liars, on broadway this July for Here lies love and on the London Westend for Steven Sondheim's concert/theater play. She is the first Asian to win a Tony Awards, Broadway Legend, Singing voice of not just one but 2 Disney Princesses namely Jasmin from Aladdin and Mulan.

If my father pursued his dreams maybe he is part of them.

Would like to correct that OPM is Original PILIPINO Music or Pinoy music 😊 and not Philipino. Also, citizens or natives of the Philippines refer to themselves as Pilipino/Filipino and never Philipino Great content as always though! ❤ more power to you!

Lea salonga is the Miss Saigon

koreana na pala lola mo doktora analyn

I think "Anak" was translated in 27 different languages. And it may be true that OPM lacks support from the government.

It is spanish

Pilita Corrales was singing a Spanish song. She's part Spanish.

Can they react to MAPA by SB19? Its SB19 tribute to all parents hence the coined world "Ma for mama and"PA for papa"

Please correct your video title.

WRONG. Reflection song by Lea Salonga is NOT OPM because it is a Disney song. Just because a Filipino sang it doesnt mean it is already considered OPM. OPM has to be composed (Lyrics &melody) by Filipinos.

Lea Salonga is the original singer who sang a whole new world of Aladin movie and the soundtrack of the movie Mulan…… FYI

There's no such term as Philipino
