American singer-actress Keala Settle applauded Lea Salonga as she sang her rendition of "Reflection," a soundtrack from the 1998 animated film 'Mulan' which is popularized by Christina Aguilera.

Keala is known for her performance of "This is Me" from the 2017 hit musical film 'The Greatest Showman.'

Keala, herself, captured the moment when the multi-awarded Pinay performer belted high notes effortlessly in a small gathering in Tramp Stamp Granny's in Los Angeles, California.

Tramp Stamp Granny's is a piano bar owned by former 'Glee' actor Darren Criss who is a half-Filipino.
