YouTube Matters: Heather Traska's A Cappella Disney Song Inspired Masterpiece

Heather Traska is the one-woman a cappella Girl Talk of Disney songs. A star is born.

Predictions: 1) She will get her wish of being on Ellen (Tweet Ellen!); 2) She will be on an episode of Glee and 3) She will be the voice of the next Disney princess (this is obviously the boldness prophecy). My favorite part starts at 2:50 and goes to 4:35 (Let's Get Down to Business, Mulan melting into the greatest Disney song of all time, Reprise to One Jump Ahead, Aladdin). I would have ended the video here, but she's from a younger Disney-movie-watching generation who saw movies like Hercules and Tangled (a movie that brought tears to my 16 year-old brother's eyes because, he said, "Some parts [of Tangled] are just so deep") so she had to pack in more songs.

So, take a trip down memory lane and listen to Heather Traska sing Disney songs like you've never heard them before.
