American Idol Season 10's beautiful Thia Megia sings "Colors of the Wind" on the Top 12 Show. Idol contestants got to choose any song from their birth year. Thia was born on January 30th, 1995, and she picked the ballad "Colors of the Wind" sung by Vanessa Williams in the Disney classic Pocohantas.
"Colors of the Wind" was the 1995 Oscar-winner for Best Original Song from the Disney animated feature film Pocahontas. It also won the Golden Globe in the same category as well as the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Movie. The song poetically presents the Native American viewpoint that the earth is a living entity where humankind is connected to everything in nature.
The song was performed within the movie's narrative by Judy Kuhn as the singing voice of Pocahontas. Singer/actress Vanessa Williams recorded a version for the end credits which was successfully released as a single and became one of Williams' biggest hits in 1995, earning a Gold single for sales of 500,000 copies, and reaching #4 on the U.S. charts. For her version, Williams received a Grammy nomination as Best Pop Female Vocal Performance in 1996 (she lost to Annie Lennox>'s "No More I Love You's").
