Tiana is probably the best Disney princess role model. 

[splendasmom]

God she sounds AND looks like a Disney princess

[nickigagaknowles]

Tiana is the best and realistic role model when it comes to Disney Hit that like button if you agree

[Stu]

She LOOKS like a princess! She's every bit as beautiful as her character.

[yukiableful]

Tiana is best princess. She works hard for her goal while still keeping her values!

[kennynewbury]

You know you're a Disney princess in real life when you sound identical to your track 😍

[LianiG]

SHE HELD A PERFECTLY FLAWLESS 12 SECOND HIGH NOTE. COMPLETE AND TOTAL QUEEN!

[elisepetsche]

When this movie came out and I watched it for the first time as a little kid, I DREAMED to grow up and be Tiana

[uvarvite-ry]

What are her lungs made of? The way she held that 12-second high note was amazing!

[MissStereoHeartbeats]

She can hold a high octave for FOURTEEN fucking seconds? God, that woman can

[ewidontlikeyou-]

she should be the tiana for a real life action i mean you got the original person to play her so perfect.

[gezzerreemarie]

I loved Princess and the Frog. It's just too underrated. I wish kids these days will see this movie. It's so beautiful 😊

[umi_]

she LOOKS like Tiana
talk about perfection

[zoemariebaluarte]

SHE CAN HOLD 16 SECONDS IN HIGH NOTES!

[babybooprincess]

You can tell they did very MINIMAL work on the recording for the soundtrack. Even if this movie was only a few years ago, she sounds exactly the same as on the soundtrack. PERFECTION.

[anguscastle]

I refuse to believe she's in her 40s. Seriously, she looks about 24 years old

[saibar]

Her and the woman who sang for Mulan have the best voices out of all the Disney princesses.
Edit: Plus the wonderful woman who sung for Elsa

[weiyin]

THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG IS SO. UNDERRATED OML

[briobrandon]

Princess Tiana and her lungs of steel! Damn that last note and that vibrato! Yass!

[nathanmcorpus]

And she just walks off stage with a smile like “OK thanks bye” and I’m like GIRL YOU JUST SLAYED!!!
