Me looking at myself with 3 burgers and 2 fries in my hands in a mirror

YES SLAY ME WITH ALL THIS NOSTALGIA IT'S BEAUTIFUL JUST LIKE YOU

"I'm not meant to play this part" When that one theatre kid gets the least important role instead of the the main role

"This song is way shorter than I remembered. " ...is..is that a pun..? A hair pun..?

Anna: *anna uploads* Me: *stops middle of building a house* *drops newborn baby* *drops the earth itself* *watches and cries*

*sends to mother because Anna crushed their favorite song* Mom-“What is this?” Me-“Art.” Mom-“ok”

I know this might be an unpopular opinion, but Reflection is my favorite Mulan song and one of my favorite Disney ballads. Anna did an amazing job with this cover.

The subtitles are hilarious Example: “that if I were truly to be myself I would break my families cat”

Look at me I will never pass as a perfect bride Or a perfect daughter Can it be I'm not meant to play this part Now I see That if I were truly to be myself, I would break my family's heart Who is that girl I see Staring straight, back at me Why is my reflection someone I don't know Somehow I cannot hide Who I am Though I've tried When will my reflection show who I am inside When will my reflection show who I am inside

Is it possible to fall in love with someone's voice??

There goes my wig and my tears

I've always related to this song on a personal level. When I was little, my dad signed me up for piano classes and I've been playing ever since (at least up until I was fourteen). I never really had a say in the matter, since I was only a kid and did whatever my dad told me to. I guess for the first few years, it was fine and I never ran into any major problems, but when I was around 9 I developed some serious performing anxiety and just anxiety in general, which was a problem, since I did performances at least 5 times a year and like everything else, I had no say in the matter. Every time it was worse, I would shake uncontrollably, I was barely able to play up there since my hands were shaking so much and my eyes were so full of tears. Though whenever I brought up the subject to my father, he would never take it seriously and would just wave it off. That kind of took a toll on me, since I thought my dad never took me seriously when it came to piano. Since then, he kind forced me onto everything when it came to piano and performing. I was more doing piano for everyone else rather than doing it for myself, which is bad since piano is a hobby and a passion, not something you should do for others. Whenever friends would visit, he'd constantly tell me to perform in front of them though I was clearly anxious and uncomfortable with it. And if I said no? He'd punish or add onto my practicing hours, which consisting of nothing but him standing over my shoulder and commanding me to the songs he wanted me to play exactly how he wanted me to. And because of my 'method' of practicing and piano in general, the joy and passion of piano was slowly drained out of me, and I grew to despise the piano, whether it be playing it or hearing it in general. There'd be many times I'd look at a reflection and think that's not me, and that's its what everyone (especially my dad) wants me to be. It wasn't me. There were many instances where I've wanted to quit the piano. One of the more milder instances is when I was at a store with my dad and there was a piano outside, and he told me to play it. There was a huge crowd, so obviously I said no in which he snapped at me and yelled at me to play it. I tried to, by lowering the volume but he just turned it upwards at maximum volume in which I anxiously shook. The second instant, one of the less milder ones is when my dad was holding a party at our house, and almost all of his friends there, including someone I considered an older brother, so I wasn't too bored since I was talking with him. About 2 hours into the party, my dad told me to perform in front of his friends, in which I refused since I would be an anxious, uncomfortable mess. Apparently he didn't take that well, cause he walked in front of me and grabbed my arm, attempting to drag me to the piano himself. At this, I reacted much more loudly than I intended, yelling 'NO' which grabbed most of the guests's attention. After that, I was sent to my room, where I was an anxious, embarrassed, sobbing mess. The last and final instance (where I finally quit the damn thing), is shortly after we went under quarantine and all. My dad announced to me that I wouldn't see most of my friends ever again, since at the time I was in my final year of middle school and we were all going to different high schools, and because school ended early, I never had to have any proper final moments with them to cherish the friends I considered family. Because of this, I was a stressed mess. I didn't want to do much, I just felt done with everything at the time. And since my dad (the one who announced this to me in the first place) didn't get the memo, he told me to practice for two hours, the exact same songs in the exact same order perfectly or else it would be pointed out for everyone to hear. Since I was a stressed mess with everything happening around me, I didn't really want to do the one thing which caused the most stress on me. So I said no, and he didn't take that well so he demanded it again, in which I said no again. So, he forbade me from communicating with my friends at all by taking away my only communication with my friends. In my stressed and upset rage, I boycotted playing the piano entirely, and it was then I realized piano had me on puppet strings. It controlled my mood, by upsetting me as soon as I sat on the damn bench, it controlled my communication with others, by putting off things with friends for recitals, taking away communication if I was too stressed to miss one day (which shouldn't be done, it makes sense if you fail a test and can't go to a party, since school is essential, but to take away communication with your friends at a time where you need them just because you missed a day doesn't make sense at all). There was many times I would look at the *reflection* of a piano and see that that wasn't what i wanted to be. I didn't want to be a performer, or a pianist, or anything that everyone described me to be. I'm happy to say I've officially quit the piano, after many long fights with my dad. I'm not sure if he completely understands where I'm coming from, but right now I really don't care. I'm not sure if I'll ever go back to the piano, since just walking by the instrument will cause me discomfort, but I suppose only time can tell.

Me dramatically lip syncing and walking around my house at 3am in a kimono crying on cue like-

YASSSSSSS THIS IS SOME GOOD SHIT, THIS COVER HAS REALLY GIVEN ME CHILLS LIKE ANNA WHAT THE HECK WOWIE

YOU'RE UPLOADING ALOT ARE YOU OKAY MY PRECIOUS GOD

Me as a little girl hearing this song: neat Me as an Enby hearing this song: **Ugly sobbing** *It's just like my life*

Men: so how are we suppost to know your a girl Mulan: i have a man bun and no make-up Men: fair enough

I guess you could say... My weave got fuckin snatched. (P.S. Anna is a pure angel! I'm blessed af!)

*sings this in my bathroom mirror while I'm home alone*

Is it mathematically possible for me not to scream whenever you upload? I don't think so

Omg. I'm crying. I feel like I could just wrap myself in my blankets and just listen to this cover the whole day. Depression is tough, really, and keeping a happy facade in public is sometimes way too much for me to handle. Thank you for this cover, Anna. Mulan is the only princess that I can stand. Actually, I adore her :) And your voice is #goal

This song is shorter than I thought 😂 Aaah I love this so much!!

**stares at reflection in tablet. Looks like an old piece of bread** Why is my reflection someone I don’t know? Edit: 121 likes...that’s the most likes I’ve ever gotten XD why is this hearted and liked?? ‘Nother Edit: WHY AND HOW HAS THIS GOTTEN 257 LIKES??!!

*LeTs GeT dOwN tO bUsInEsS tO lIsTeN tO a GrEaT cOvEr*

Such A Beautiful Song Sung By A Beautiful Voice

I've never noticed how LGBTQI+ this song is tho Like literally how half of the community feels with coming out And im crying Like try to Hide it and hating yourself for something that you can't change 'cause that's who you are But you know your family would never be okay with it

"Now I see, that if I were to truly be myself, I would break my family's heart." I wish this didn't mean anything to me, but it does. May all of the people who hide finally find freedom. Goodness knows what kind of pain hiding does to you.

wHAT A BOP

holy heck this is so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! liked the sauce of the last one, but this a good break.

Fucking 10/10 omg

I’m on the autism spectrum and this fits a lot. Like Mulan, I’ll never have complete control over who I am and what I do. We’re just built different.

h o l y *inhale* This is the some how even emotional version of Reflection. Actually, I take that back. This is isn't a v e r s i o n of Reflection. It's so much more than just a v e r s i o n of Reflection. I don't know how to explain this but like- AHHHHHHBB THIS IS SO GOOD I LOVE YOUR VOICE, TALENT- EVERYTHING SO MUCH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Mulan is my favourite Disney movie and you did that badass such justice Anna!

Wtf how did u know?!!!😮I was singing this song last night with nostalgia!! And u upload a cover? I’ve been blessed❤️Thankyou for this upload Anna☺️❤️💯

Me : * looks in mirror * The reflection : who dat boy whom him is?

I actually feel this song. I'm trans masc (grew up as a "girl") and my family always wants me to be a perfect version of myself. I had come out to them but now the real challenge is getting them to respect me. They won't allow me to cut my hair or hide my chest, so whenever I change or look in the mirror, i feel like I'm looking through a window at an everyday person you see walking on the sidewalk. On a different note, you have a lovely voice! Mulan was (and still is) one of my favorite Disney movies of all time, and I am very thankful that you did a cover of it! Hope you have a lovely rest of your time and keep being you! 😊❤

having a gender dysphoria induced breakdown at 3 am like

I'm in tears. This is now one of my favorite Disney covers of yours. I could tell how much heart you put into it, and you seemed to give it your own spin that I absolutely loVED. ♥️

My dude. I found your one song from Prince Ali, then I found your channel so amazing omg I love it all I’m OBSESSED! I’ve been watching for an hour and a half so far but omg I love you MARRY ME 😂

I just realized how well this fits for trans dysphoria.

This music hit differently since I discover that im a lesbian. The more I listening to it the more it shattering my heart again and again. It just wont stop.

Screw sleep I need to hear the angels voice *continues to watch every single VIDEO ON HER CHANEL*

I CAME AS SOON AS I HEARD

Perfect timing because we're doing the musical Mulan and our School and I do the costumes

Please do remember me from coco! The movie deserves more attention!

This always felt like a "coming out" song 😄

I've said it before in your live chats you totally should work for Disney someone get this young lady Disney contract on the double come on guys someone out there got to make this happen yo you would make the best Disney princess for reals 😁 keep up the great work 😁🎤🎶👍👍

The melody and your sound brought such a heartfelt nostalgia to my soul. It took me back to when I was a child, seeing the movie for the first time and how I felt the first time I heard this song. How much I loved it and how much I related to Mulan. This is so much more the just a 'reflection'

what this song gets me to think about- my reflection: fake smile/happiness true reflection: sad/upset wanting to be happy bc my heart feels broken (this is such a beautiful song)

There is always that cover that shines not only over other covers, but the original making it something completely new and fantastic. This is truly a masterpeice

Me: You can't make a grown man cry! Anna: Hold my mirror

Honestly this song reminds me so much of, myself honestly... For so long I didn’t know who I was, what I was meant to be, i always seemed to make others angry or disappointed, I felt like a failure to everyone I knew, I’m just desperate to find who I’m truly supposed to be, thank you for this amazing cover!

Some one call Disney we have a new Princess in town and she got that voice

hi, you're the best?? and you deserve the universe??? and you're so amazing at singing????

you’re absolutely phenomenal... never stop singing, never stop following your dreams! you are truly amazing and so talented 😊 you inspire me so much🌟

1:57 *sees reflection* Reflection: Nothing "Who Is that Girl i see"

God... i just got chills because hearing this! And i'm really enjoying listening to this while drawing :)

Amazing

When I watch this it was sort of relatable because I was a very a star student but ever since I said getting low in grades then a plus I felt awful and I felt like I would never be perfect enough for Anyone

I may have screamed in absolute joy when I saw a new song 😊

this is the one song from Disney I can remember singing constantly as a kid...this brought me to tears because it is so beautiful! Amazing job as always ♥️♥️♥️

Every trans guy relates to this.

This isn’t perfect It’s absolutely flawless

As soon as I saw the title I knew this was gonna be amazing and oh boy was I right !!!!❤️❤️❤️

Honestly, beautiful voice. Her voice is perfect for this song!

You probably don't understand how much THIS inspires me. How much YOU inspire me everyday. Thank you, Anna❤

Favorite Disney movie. Favorite Princess. Favorite song. Killiar vocals

i’m shooketh, like i’m a singer and this has made me doubt everything in life. phenomenal😵

You know, I am surprised Disney hasn't heard your voice yet. Like, honestly can you just sing for every disney princess? I just love your voice honestly, compared disney songs and your covers, I think you just won an award right now. And what's even better is, you have a ton more likes then dislikes. So you go girl! Please, keep doing a ton of covers, your voice is just so amazing. I can't stop listening to you!!!! Your voice is so pretty, and strong and I love it!

Omg i love this im late because of MY DUMB WIFI but letting it load for 10 minutes was worth it P.s. my child you are amazing omg your covers show so much emotion and really give the songs a whole new level of depth uggggggh i love you

Whenever my Insomnia decides to be a brat, I aways come here and listen to your playlist of Sleepy songs! ^-^ It helps me very much and your voice is amazing! I hope you keep on singing these amazing songs!

I hated this song when I was 9 but know as a pan and genderfluid person in a homophobic family o relate to it far too much

Me jamming alone: My friends: ARE YOU FINALLY SINGING-? Me: OH MY STARS HOW DID YOU GET HERE-

I'm just positive that you're actually a secret disney princess like Rapunzel. I mean dang I love this just as much if not more than the original. Same to all your other covers 💕

Your the best singer you should be a disney princess

My ultimate favorite Disney movie, ultimate favorite Disney song, ultimate favorite singer, what a lovely combination.

I was just singing this yesterday! Yesss thank you Anna

Me: a trans man, yes I agree with mulan, I'm not ever going to be a good bride or daughter

I first heard this song when I was like 7 and it took another few years to realize this song was my trans awakening

Thanks now I'm jealous

I'm actually crying because this is my favourite emotional Disney song from my favourite Disney movie sung by my favourite female RU-vid singer- *sniff* too beautiful...

This is the most beautiful cover I have ever heard ❤️ I will always support and love your works, and I love you more than life itself ❤️ Keep on surprising us, Anna

*petition to get this girls music on ITunes and Spotify*

*I CAME AS SOON AS I HEARD BABY* Psst. Could you think about covering a song from Wicked?

*OMG TYSM FOR MAKING THE COVER OF THIS SONG!!I LOVE ALL OF THE SONGS COVER U MAKE BUT THIS IS MY FAV TYSM!!* ❤️❤️❤️

First word that pops into my head on the first note, crystal. It's just so beautiful and clear.

Your voice is INCREDBIBLE! idk if you'll see this comment but would you be able to do something from *The Greatest Showman?* Like maybe Never Enough or A Million Dreams?
