This sentence caught my eye: "One of the features of the song is when Carey and Houston sing a section of the song in thirds; they have done this live, and still kept in tune." Is singing in thirds in tune supposed to be some kind of impressive feat? Why is this notable? For that matter, why mention singing in thirds as a "feature"? It's not some kind of strange interval. I think I'll just delete the sentence if nobody objects. Nasch 20:26, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
Go ahead. I'm glad I'm not the only person who though this was a werid comment. Singing in thirds is a pretty unimpressive thing to focus on if you ask me! 121.219.110.229 ( talk) 11:50, 27 November 2007 (UTC)nath80

The first 18 notes of the first, slow section of the song are exactly the same as in the 1950s Chinese composition " Dance of the Yao People." Badagnani ( talk) 19:17, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes I listened to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I1NC2JNkdU and it does sound very very similar except from a few intervals that sound more Chinese. However I don't know if we can just add it unless we have a source. What section would it go under? Sweetie candykim ( talk) 13:22, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
The image Image:PoE-altWYB.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

Because I have a copy and it doesn't sound live. Is this a notable enough cover to add anyway? Sweetie candykim ( talk) 13:18, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
Should we perhaps mention that Leon's version has different lyrics in the second verse? It would be good if we could find a source describing why it was changed. 128.12.240.253 ( talk) 03:22, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
Is the Hebrew bridge ("ashira ladonai ki ga'oh ga'ah...") the first time a Disney song has had a section written in different language than the language of the film? 24.148.9.61 ( talk) 17:05, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
There is also a talk in Israel about ofra haza having to sing a hebrew verse in the song, which was refused by mariah and whitney ///guest
hey i noticed that the page said that careys range was up to a g5 in this song but the note she did at the end was a g6 and even shifted to a a6 as she scaled down not sure why they did not include that note but its there and one of my fav parts of the song.
The following things make no sense to me (and I'm a professional musician & I studied music theory) I'm wondering if whoever wrote the composition section can explain 1: What does "different keys, musically and vocally" mean? 2: What does the Ab-Gb1 refer to when discussing the "chord progression?" I've never heard a chord progression described that way, especially considering neither Ab nor Gb are in the key of B minor. Chords are described with either roman numerals or, yes, using pitch names, but after the pitch names the quality of those chords have to be described. First of all, I would argue that the song starts in D Major, not in B minor... but with pop music, that's semantics I suppose. Assuming we're in D major, I would describe the first half of Houston's verse with the following chord progression: vi - V - iii - vi | vi - IV - ii - iii OR Bm - A - F#m - Bm | Bm - G2 - Em - F#m. See what I'm saying? That, of course, is my own analysis, and therefore original research, which is why I'd either copy/paste the chords from the sheet music or take this stuff out all together. The article referenced here is a digital copy of the sheet music and, I suspect, the person who wrote this section didn't really understand what he/she was looking at. -Jesse 69.203.118.145 ( talk) 15:34, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
As shown on the page for the album The Prince of Egypt (soundtrack), the US version of the single lists Whitney's name first. Given that the song is performed by 2 American artists, the cover of the US version of the single should be shown in addition to the cover of the UK / European version.

The lead sentence currently reads:
By comparison, the lead sentence for A Whole New World reads:
In both cases, you have a song written for a musical film for use in context in that musical film, that became a hit (and consider that "A Whole New World" is the bigger hit) with a pop oriented version placed over the end credits and released as a single. Other than Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston fans veering into NPOV-violating bias, is there a particular reason this article leads off the way it does? I would think it should read as:
