WATCH: Lea Salonga sings ‘A Whole New World’ with ‘Voice Kids PH’ contestant
11-year-old Noel Comia requests Lea to sing the song with him after he gets into her team

MANILA, Philippines – Lea Salonga took to the stage to sing “A Whole New World” once again, this time with an 11-year-old singing partner – The Voice Kids Philippines contestant Noel Comia. (WATCH: Lea Salonga, Lin-Manuel Miranda perform ‘A Whole New World’)

Noel, who said he’s been studying theater for 5 years, chose coach Lea over new coach Sharon Cuneta after his blind auditions.

Lea went over to the stage to hug him and welcome him to the team, granting him one request – a duet of “A Whole New World.”

A carpet was brought out for the two, and Noel and Lea were off, singing as Aladdin and Jasmine. Catch them singing at around the 6:14 mark in the video above. 

Lea was the singing voice of Jasmine in the 1992 Disney movie, Aladdin. For the movie, she sang “A Whole New World” with Brad Kane. (WATCH: Lea Salonga, Brad Kane sing ‘A Whole New World’ at ‘Aladdin’ cast reunion)

But since then, she’s sung the song with other partners as well, including Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda and actor Darren Criss.
