It took 22 years, but now we're back on that magic carpet ride with Aladdin and Jasmine.

The April performance of Lea Salonga singing "A Whole New World" with opera supergroup Il Divo, caught on tape while they were on the European leg of their "A Musical Affair" tour, is going viral this week, after the Internet rediscovered the magical YouTube clip.

But the real surprise is that 22 years later, Lea Salonga, the actress who voiced Jasmine in Disney's hit "Aladdin," still sounds amazing. Watch for yourself and be prepared to be taken wonder by wonder:

How do you think it compares to the original tune from the movie? Is it just as good or better?
