Okay, here goes. Take this!

TOP TEN REASONS WHY JASMINE IS BETTER THAN BELLE OR ARIEL
-------------------------------------------------------------
10. She's got this hair that just.. And these eyes-wow.
And her smile, ahh..
Jasmine looks good in anything, even her street rat attire (or
as a rat, for that matter--"Do the Rat Thing")
9. Lea Salonga. No contest.
8. She's a true-born Princess and acted accordingly. True that
Ariel was only 16 but supposedly so was Jasmine but she sure didn't
act that immature.
7. She could take on Belle or Ariel any time.
REFERENCES: (Aladdin Series: "Forget Me Lots", "A Sultan Worth His
Salt" to name a couple.) Jasmine fought the Mamluks--the walking
undead--and beat them.
6. Had no trouble seeing past Aladdin's "diamond in the rough"
exterior,not like Ariel (you have to admit that her first attraction
was purely physical) or Belle (took her a while, even after Beast
started being a nice guy). Also could see right past the Al's
princely attire to see the true him.
5. She would readily sacrifice herself for the good of Agrabah and
other countries. Recall "Bad Mood Rising"--she would rather stay
with the ruler forever than risk destruction of the people in the
country. Also didn't want to create tension between Agrabah and
Odiferous even at the thought of losing Al.
4. She cares about her home environment. Belle thought herself
above them, didn't associate with the villagers, and Ariel thought
nothing more than to get away.
3. In her own words: "I always get my man." She's got determination,
intelligence, skill, honor--a true leader.
2. Managed to turn an enemy into a friend (Sadira), not an easy
thing to accomplish. Nothing close from either Belle or Ariel.
And:
1. Has the sweetest, most courageous, bestest tiger for a best friend!
