Some of you may already know this, but I just found out and thought this was pretty neat.
Lea Salonga (Kim in Miss Saigon OBC) was the singing voice of Jasmine (Disney's Aladdin) and Mulan (Disney's Mulan).
I remember when I first heard the Miss Saigon [edit: OBC Recording], I thought her voice sounded oddly familiar but I couldn't place it. Guess that's solved! LOL

I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky

And Starbucks will use the words 'large' and 'small', not pretentious crap like grande and tall.

I knew she was Jasmine's singing voice and Mulan's, but was she Mulan's regular voice as well or only her singing voice?
If we start talking about Broadway stars singing on animated films, Liz Callaway is Anastasia's singing voice, Angela Lansbury is her grandmother, and Bernadette Peters is the Aunt. I think Liz Callaway also sang for Beauty and the Beast.
