In his vocal analysis, Dr Dan from Voice Essentials examines the stellar performance of Lea Salonga, renowned for her role in the 1998 Mulan movie, singing 'Defying Gravity' from the musical Wicked. He appreciates how Salonga drops the original key of the song, D flat major, by a semitone to C major to accommodate her vocal range, demonstrating that altering a song to suit your vocal abilities can lead to successful execution. Furthermore, Salonga's precise voice placement and strategic transition from low to upper register, avoiding too heavy a sound too quickly, is highlighted as a valuable skill in smooth singing.
NB: I incorrectly said the Mulan movie came out in 1991...it was actually 1998.
Dr Dan also notes her consistent vibrato, agile body state, and excellent breath management, maintaining even airflow and avoiding excessive phonatory threshold pressure. Despite not delivering a full belt note at certain high points, she still receives commendation for her choices, reinforcing that singers can infuse their individual style and voice strengths into a performance.

⚠️ As a singing voice specialist, I fully acknowledge that each live performance is a snapshot in time and does not encapsulate the entire spectrum of an artist's work, nor can it predict their future evolution. I understand that a myriad of factors, both positive and negative, can influence the delivery of a live performance. I strive to appreciate and critique each live rendition for its own merits, independent of the artist's past or potential future performances. Recognising the ebb and flow of live music, I value its spontaneity, novelty, and individuality and strive to give it the thoughtful consideration it deserves.
