I'm not asking much. Just a token, really, a trifle: Disney's 5 Best Voices Countdown!

The Walt Disney Corporation has brought us some incredibly memorable songs and performances.

Join me as I count down my five favorite singers in Disney movies!

5 - Judy Kuhn: Pocahontas (1995)

Pocahontas was a deeply flawed movie with few redeeming qualities (Meeko). Ms. Kuhn provided the singing voice for Pocahontas. An experienced singer (Cosette in the Les Miserables Dream Cast in Concert), Kuhn beautifully sings some of Disney's most well-written songs ("Just Around the River Bend," "Colors of the Wind").

4 - Julie Andrews: Mary Poppins (1964)

Yes, of course I could not leave Ms. Andrews off of this list! Iconically Disney, Andrews has a free, light, clear soprano who has so much personality. She's a fantastic singer in her own right.

3 - Lilias White: Calliope, the Muse of Epic Tales, Hercules (1997)

I am using Ms. White as a representation of the the 5 Muses, all excellent singers who include LaChanze, Roz Ryan, Vaneese Y. Thomas, and Cheryl Freeman. Their voices truly shine and bring to life the inspired gospel score of Hercules.

2 - Lea Salonga: Jasmine, Aladdin (1992) and Mulan(1998)

I chose the video of Ms. Salonga and Brad Kane recording "A Whole New World." She was my first real crush (and continues to be a crush!). I love watching her sing this song, she is so involved and has such a charming innocence about her. She knows what she is doing, technique and expression perfectly combined where it sounds effortless and literally perfect. She is amazing. I could spend an entire afternoon watching various videos of her on YouTube.

1 - Richard White: Gaston, Beauty and the Beast (1991)

Who is this guy!? I remember the moment he begins singing in the opening song "Belle." His voice is this clear and powerful operatic Baritone that eventually overpowers the entire ensemble. I understand Disney was interested in him returning for more films, but were worried his voice was too recognizable. What a voice! Make sure to watch the opening song and "Gaston/Reprise" as well.

Notable Mentions:

Donna Murphy(Tangled, 2010), Anika Noni Rose (The Princess and the Frog, 2009)

Note: I understand most of my picks come from the "Disney Renaissance" years, which I admit I know the best. I tried to separate the singers from the songs they sang but it can be a surprisingly blurry line. When considering what makes a good singer for Disney I tried to consider voice (resonance, clarity, color, all related to the style), and mostly expression. This is a living list and I'm open to commentary and suggestions to alter or change it. Let me know your opinions!
