Amazon.com Lea Salonga, best known as the voice of Jasmine in Aladdin, steals the show here as the title character in Disney's Mulan. The former star of Miss Saigon adds touching elements to the feature, especially on introspective numbers such as "Reflection." Unfortunately, the voice of Donny Osmond, relegated to anthems such as "I'll Make a Man Out of You" doesn't really enhance the story line, a saga set in ancient China. Jerry Goldsmith provides the Far East tinge to the score, almost reminiscent of early Les Baxter. While Mulan is a far cry from the memorable Beauty and the Beast, it is both funny and charming. --Jason Verlinde

BEAUTIFUL July 15, 2002 20 out of 20 found this review helpful
It took me ages to get this album but when I did I was not disappointed, it truely is beautiful! From the moment Lea Salonga sings "Reflection" a lump comes to your throat. The musical directors on this film have brought out the true chinese authenticity in the music which the stringed instruments match perfectly. There are of course more up beat songs like "I'll make a man out of you" which takes you through the soldiers training. I did find though that the beginning of "mulan's decision" on the film is just before " haircut" but isn't on the CD. Apart from that if you liked the film buy the soundtrack now and you wont be disappointed by its beautiful music!!

I loooooovvvvvvveeee this album! The story is great, the songs songs are well-written, the orchestration brilliant, and Lea Salonga's voice simply mesmerizing. I hope Disney produces more albums like this.

I think Mulan is one of the best Disney movies of all time. I love the music and the humor. I think "Reflection" is the best song, but I think the original version is better than Christina Aguilera's version. Christina is a fairly decent artist, but I don't think she did her best on the song. I also like "True to Your Heart". It's very catchy. "I'll Make a Man Out of You" has good vocals and is also rather humorous, considering the fact that Mulan is a girl. Well, I have other meaningless tasks to accomplish, so I'll let you get on with your life.

Great story, good music, wonderful songs. Remove Aguilera's trashy version of "Reflection" and this album would be perfect!
5 Stars for Lea Salonga's voice November 4, 2002 junbae T (USA) 20 out of 23 found this review helpful
My favourite song is "Reflection" by Lea Salonga, interestingly enough not appeared obviously in the Audio CD list. May be Disney wants to sell out "Chritina Aguilera". But it's useless to include her into this album.
