We've seen her photo with the other Disney princesses during the Disney Legends Award ceremonies but here is a video of her introduction, her acceptance speech, and her performance of the song Reflection from the movie Mulan.
People all laughed at how she thanked Linda Larkin who did the speaking voice of Princess Jasmine in Aladdin for not knowing how to sing. "Because if she did, I would not have this job and I would not be standing here today."
