Hi guys, this is a new segment to my Youtube Channel
This is what we called as SONG REVIEW
I will do a review of different songs
It can be an international or Filipino song
As of today this song was released 4 hours ago
This is REFLECTION 2020 version by Christina Aguilera
First of all this is a Disney movie right?
Every Disney movie has a theme song
If you will notice, this is the only song that..
the original singer was not replaced
In this case, its Christina Aguilera
She still interprets the 2020 version of the song
There were lots of debates because..
Each song released was butchered because
The original singers were replaced by much younger singers
And the others are having mixed reactions.
As for the others, they dont like the remake
of the Disney songs
Other people like it better than the original
So there's a mixed reaction of the listeners
Guys, if you haven't listened to this version,
it was just released. I will link it in the description below
Watch it first then go back here to watch my review
OK, lets just talk about Christina Aguilera
The texture of her voice has changed a lot
It is thicker and deeper in quality of tone
Now this song is half key lower
The original version was in Key of F
This version is in key of E, so it is half key lower.
In terms, of Christina's rendition of this 2020 song,
There are just minor changes
I think that this is, around 80 to 85% with the same melody as the original
She uses the same runs
The only changed that happened was at the last chorus
She changes the melody there, which is very beautiful.
For me, I like this version better
for me, this is more matured
This is the more matured side
This is more intense
Let us discuss the arrangement of the old version
The old version is still orchestrated
But it is leaning towards the "pop" side
The version is more POP
The arrangement of the 2020 version, this is...
just purely orchestral
This is more intense, the quality of the arrangement is DARKER (in a good way)
this is more of a string arrangement
the strings are so rich
They used EPIC PERCUSSIONS in here
These are the loud and epic drums
Replacing the pop drums and percussion from the old version
that's why it's more intense
You can feel the emotions of the song right away
The strings that we're used like the violin, cello and viola,...
They have lesser movements...
if there are any,
in some high parts, but there are no major movements of strings...
It gives  space to the singer (Christina) to shine
In terms of video,
I like this a lot better
For me, it is a lot more dramatic
What are the great moments in this video?
The part when Christina sang the chorus part,
Then you can see Mulan riding a horse,
It's very emotional
Another in the bridge part of the song
You can see that Mulan is crying
It's also heart-wrenching
You can feel the emotions in the music video
I love the scenery
The actions scenes in the music video
One word... GOOSEBUMPS
The scenery is so beautiful
that helps with the music and Christina's voice
Like what I've said earlier
The last chorus on where she gave wonderful notes
The song became more emotional
The lines that she made were so beautiful
Watch the part where she sustains her note by 8 seconds
She has a very thick voice
Its beautiful on how she sustained that note
that adds to the emotions of the song
then of course the great part
The song ends with a very soft piano
that is added by beautiful whispery voice
thats why the end part of the song is so beautiful
because it is the signature song of Christina Aguilera
Overall, for me, this version sounds better than the original
Reflection 2020 was really made for Christina Aguilera
So really I like this version better than the original
