      @@stephanies4925 - 100% agree with you on all that, especially your comments regarding the film. I hated the fact that they wanted to get the musical sound as if it was actually sung outdoors in the real world. The result was a very dull ‘boxy’ sound overall, despite some of the individual actors’ performances being very good. For me, I would have preferred them to record all the songs in a studio controlled environment to get the best and most emotive sounds possible and then they could mime and act along with their own voices …. in fact like any other musical that’s ever been made! For me, the most important thing in casting a musical is the actor’s singing ability. I mean, Russel Crowe, c’mon, seriously?

    I've seen "Les Mis" 5 times on stage, including twice on Broadway and once in London. I've owned and loaned out at least that many copies of the Broadway cast recording. This is one of the most moving songs in the play - and I've cried during each performance. But Lea's is easily the best I've heard. Her ability to deliver such a raw, emotional performance without sacrificing clarity or musicality is breathtaking. I'm so glad you chose to react to this. watch it again in a few days, on your own - it will still bring tears to your eyes.
    The thing that makes "Les Mis" so moving is that every emotional high or low hits a different sentiment: hope, despair, joy, grief, triumph, defeat, comradery, guilt, love, heartbreak, exuberance, righteousness, tragedy.... so each high and low seem new.

Absolutely nothing against Claire Moore (the actress in the original production which was in London), but I just love Lea and Liz together. Also Liz did the singing voice of the animated film “Anastasia” (originally released by 20th Century Fox Studios but Disney acquired it so I guess she is technically a Disney Princess, too).

    Lea was the first Asian woman (actually, I think the first woman of color) to play Eponine on Broadway. This performance is from the LES MISERABLES 10th Anniversary Dream Cast concert in London. They took performers who had done LES MIZ in various years and countries to be part of this dream cast anniversary concert. Some performers were original cast members from London, Broadway or Australia and some had replaced in one of those casts. Lea is the only person of color in one of the leads in the 10th anniversary concert and is the only person to be in the 10th *and* 25th anniversary LES MIZ concerts playing two different major roles.

Your mind will be blown! (Please *don’t* react to Lea and Brad at the Oscars. First - they had the lip sync because all the scenic elements were too loud onstage to sing live. Second - I don’t think it’s a great arrangement. The 23 years later is exactly like the original film recording.) Thank you!

    She is amazing - if you haven't seen it, you should see the "A Whole New World" duet she did with a fan (Jared) live - it is really good. She is the epitome of hard work and talent❤

    Thanks for reacting to this Masterpiece. Lea Salonga is the ultimate Musical Theater Icon in the Philippines and the rest of the World. I hope you can react to her performance of Miss Saigon which she originated in West End and Broadway.

    Very powerful performer with a golden voice. You ‘re literally listening to a story. Lea started at a young age for Broadway shows.

    What sets Lea apart from others is her clear voice resonance, pronunciation...the voice timbre is just really amazing.

  • @maarit613

    Les Mis is my favorite musical (besides Phantom of the Opera), and although I have heard this song so often already, Lea never fails to give me goosebumps. Her voice is just the best..

    Lea is definately the best! I have listened to her singing this a lot of times. And still - whenever I hear it again it's so moving, it goes straight to my heart, and I cannot help myself. The tears are just rising into my eyes. There is that other song "A little fall of rain" from the same concert. It's the scene where she as Eponine dies in the arms of her not-lover. That song is another masterpiece. You should check it out. Btw, thank you for your amazing reaction.

    Your reactions are *never* boring - love the emotion and the genuine enthusiasm, it really separates you from other reactors.
    Echoing other comments, I highly recommend the entire 10th Anniversary LES MIZ program... especially A Little Fall of Rain, you'll lose it, I promise. Thank you!

    I don’t know if anyone has told you but she is a Tony award actress. She is the first star of Miss Saigon. She was still a teen when they discovered her and she went to London to do it. She did Les Mis as well and Disney singing voice of Mulan and Jasmine. She is indeed incredible.

    Oh wow, this was from Les Miserables 10th year anniversary performance-- Lea also performed as Fantine on the 25th anniversary--- Lea's performance as Eponine is my fave Eponine -- still gives me goose bumps -- i recommend to watch les Miz 10 yr anniversary performance-- she is also the original Kim for Ms. Saigon which she won best actress for the Lawrence Olivier and Tony Awards-- i wonder if you would check out her performance for Too Much for One Heart -- if you do, i think you will love it, Lea's ability to emote with her voice and facial expression is top notch.

    Leah Salonga was the champion in Theaters who was always performing at the Philippine Cultural Center when I was in college. She is from a clan of great musicians. Heard about octaves and vibrato? She has pure talent and great training. They are lucky they found Leah. She’s a Philippine treasure. 👏

  • @MakotoElena

    You were referring to Julie Andrews (Sound of Music) and yes they played together in the “The King and I” Broadway play. Please check Lea’ s “My Lord and Master” at the recording studio. Was sooo brilliant. Please. Please Thank you.

    Eponine is in love with Marius; Marius is in love with Cosette, Years later Lea returned to Les Miserables in the role of Fauntine (Cosette's mother who dies during the story. She has a a few solos as Fauntine, check out the 25th anniversary recording of Les Miserables, I believe you are watching the tenth anniversary recording

    Lea Salonga is a brilliant singer who also moves me emotionally every time. I can’t say enough about her. If you want to treat yourself, watch the entire concert showcasing all the songs from Les Miserable at it’s ten year anniversary…with the original singers! It’s wonderful.
    For a reaction video, I highly recommend Michael Ball singing “Empty Chairs at Empty Tables”. His voice is stunning and the song is one of the most emotional from the musical. I’d love to see your reaction!

  • @megandelynn6114

    My first time was seeing her in a new musical called Miss Saigon at the Theater Royal. I had no idea, no idea that this lady would change my life. I worked in London, but traveled multiple times to NYC to see her there, before moving to the States. I feel so privileged to have those wonderful memories.

  • @jwhiteuk
    @jwhiteuk 2 роки тому +1

    Lea sings this beautiful song brilliantly. Les Miserables is in my opinion, lyrically and emotionally, the best musical ever written. It is full of songs as good as this. Honestly, you should make the effort to book tickets to see Les Mis in the westend but take tissues because this is not the only song that will bring tears to your eyes!

  • @HeidiLyonPervyNoonaGA
    @HeidiLyonPervyNoonaGA 2 роки тому +2

    You really should watch all of this concert. All the songs, the singers, I literally cry through half of the show, There's a reason its one of the greatest of all times and chose THE best performances for this show. And the woman from Sound of Music is Julie Andrews (Ms. Mary Poppins herself), who also had one of the most perfect and beautiful voices. :)

  • @tracidelacruz966
    @tracidelacruz966 2 роки тому +1

    Totally get your reaction. First time I heard her with that song I had to wrap my arms tight around myself to contain my emotions and didn't breathe the whole time. It wasn't til it finished that I even realized I had tears pouring down my cheeks and then just started ugly crying in my room!
    Now you need to listen to her more recent recordings - her voice has only gotten better with age.
    Fun fact - she was a coach on The Voice Philippines and my cousin Tim Pavino was on her team! Check him out, too!!

    Les Misérables is my ALL-TIME FAVORITE musical. I see it every time it comes to my city and Lea Salonga was in the first incarnation that I ever saw. You really need to read the story and see the movie or preferably the Concert that this cut came from.

    Hey man. I absolutely love your reaction. It is spot on. I had the pleasure of hearing her sing multiple times on Broadway as Kim in Miss Saigon. (My wife was her understudy). I absolutely love your passion and enthusiasm for great singing. I was actually at this performance, and I still cry, every time I see it.

    Her acting & singing skills were further honed when she did the lead in Miss Saigon at the West End.
    It is her love for the craft & the discipline that it required took her to where she is now.
    Btw, her YT channel is LSFP.
    Thank you & more power to your channel!

    The 10h Anniversary of Les Mis was AMAZING. It's my favorite musical. Lea Salonga is a gifted singer, and she broke my heart in "Miss Saigon." You might also like her rendition of "I'm Still Hurting" from "Last Five Years."
