Saw this last night. I mean, come on, this is ridiculous. This girl has too much talent and is SO UNDERUSED. But she gets one of the best show numbers and doesnt disappoint. Amazing to see her sing this with Lea too
Lea Salonga has done a great job taking care of her voice. She still sounds youthful, her intonation is perfect, her range has expanded and her sound has become more fully rounded. She can still sing Kim like no one else.
I've seen Rachell Ann perform tonight and her voice has changed!!! She doesn't sound like a pop singer anymore but she's learnt voice control and she sounds fit for theatre now.
2 years later.. That's part of Gigi's character, heavy breathing showing desperation, listen to Isay Alvarez (original Gigi), she also did the heavy breathing.
How hard should she be trained? Be fair on your comments coz if she doesn't deserve the role from Saigon the team shouldn't have picked her to play Gigi. Rachelle already won an award from Broadwayworld meaning she doesn't only act good but she sings in a MUSICAL type of singing coz you can not win such an award from a well acclaimed award giving body if you do not act and sing the proper way FYI. ;)
I don't understand all the criticism of Rachelle? She sounds incredible to my ears! Just because Lea may be better, definitely doesn't lower Rachelle's talent at all.
I think Rachelle actually performed better in this particular performance. I saw her in Miss Saigon in October and she was incredible. The emotion in her voice just blew me away. Honestly the entire show blew me away
JoeNoseNothing No, Rachelle was much better in her actual Miss Saigon role than here. Here she was just singing the song based on what she knew about the musical. Her performance at the musical showed she had internalized her role's numbers.
Lowri Spear oh yes she's so good my family and I were so upset when she wasn't at out show in miss Saigon a few months ago, but she's so talented her videos on Instagram omg
@@darylmilan Eva is in Hadestown broadway and has 2 tony nominations. She did both a leading role on BROADWAY. Rachelle did hamilton on the Westend. Hope that Rachelle will be given a lead broadway role and earn even a nomination.
Rachelle owned Gigi's Character, she's is now my forever favorite Gigi. And Lea Salonga is just irreplaceable as Kim. Lea's accent here though, she can go sound American, British and Filipino, how great is that?
Difference between these two: Ms. Lea started Saigon way way way back. Even tho she started long time ago, her voice in the auditions I've watched in UA-cam really fits her in the theater industry. Her tone, diction, clearly you will hear the difference between them. While Rachelle, well we know she's one of the Diva/Biritera when she started her career as a singer/performer. It was actually kind of amazing how well she can sing theater-like sound for a Diva herself. And I am so proud of her being in the production of Saigon. For sure, a few more years in the theater, she'll be much much better. And their performance here is really good. I mean yeah. I like them both 😊
Rachelle has the talent and will go far in musical theater.....needs a bit of polishing but the VOICE is there.... Lea has always been the best KIM ever and has maintained the quality in her singing voice ever since she played the role for the first time. Good Good JOB on both of you! Make us proud.
You cannot compare Rachel to Lea.. Lea may be the original Kim, the Greatest to ever play the role and never will there be ever going to be perfect as her for the role because LEA SALONGA is the only KIM. but.. Don't compare rachel to her, shes not kim, she is GIGI. She may not be as "Great" as Lea, I mean who is?? Not even the new Kim (Ava) is but rachel is fit for her role. Shes brilliant and for Ava, I know shes will always be compared to Lea but always think that you are blessed to have been chosen for the role of Kim and thats something that a lot of girls can only dream for. I wish I will be able to watch Miss Saigon on Broadway. Someday.
OMG....Lea Saloga's voice has only mellowed with age. What an absolutely beautiful tone and control. She sings with passion and conviction. When she started singing, you were transported back in time to when she was the Kim in Miss Saigon. Her shoes are still to be filled. She set the bar so high in the 1989 - in the Original Shows not only with her innocence(18) but her raw singing and acting talent, at the time, that only an extraordinary singer can come close. Rachel's voice was rich but still has not got that mellowed tone, control and edge to it. The trouble with many of these up and coming singers, they try too hard to imitate Lea's voice instead of singing the song their way. Lea is and always be THE VOICE of Kim in Miss Saigon, no matter how many actresses play the part, she is the VOICE of the Philippines. A beautiful, humble, classy, highly intelligent and a well acclaimed Actress and Singer the World has seen and had the pleasure to have experienced her talents. God Bless this WOMAN.
What a beautiful duet from the best theater singers in the country..so proud of Ms. Lea supporting neophyte theater singer/actress like Rachelle Ann Go.much prouder of rRachelle for such humility at grateful ness
Rarely, you hear Lea gasp for air... she really has good breathing technique compared to other singers... she's really made for live performances/& stage musicals. She's still the one!!!
I've clearly understand their tune even their voice as well. but the one thing is perhaps that I like the voice of rachelle ann go...it could be change my life her voice EVER!
Of course Lea and Rachelle are wonderful performers. It seems that this is the first time they are singing this duet together, right? So interesting to compare this and about 9 months later when they sang together for the MISS SAIGON 25th Anniversary. Please note: this version is in a key a half step lower than the one they sang in at the anniversary show. I think that's why I find the anniversary performance more exciting - the notes they are hitting just sound more satisfying in both their voices. That's just my two cents.
galing nilang dalawa, specially rachelle ann go napaka fearless ng voice nya. ofcourse to our beloved kim ms lea sobrang galing parin! husay! at her age she can sing parin! omg! ☺😍
You can understand every single word Lea sings. In addition to delivering a great vocal she imbues it with emotions that take the song to another level.
I love Lea. One of the first musical theater voices I fell in love with, but if you think her voice sounds better than Rachelle's in this video, you are in denial.
There's no denial here, it's all a matter of opinion and tastes. Even though Rachelle is a goddamn amazing singer, I still think Lea effortlessly outstages her by the sheer richness of her voice tone alone. Rachelle sounds very emotive but her tone is rather shallow, it gives out a more piercing edge to her voice, while Lea's voice even at this age is creamy, full and well-rounded. Lea doesn't even have to try to make riffs or attempt any ad libs, she just opens her mouth and the sound that comes off of her is among the most heavenly sounds I've heard. Rachelle tries hard and succeeds, I'll give her that - Lea succeeds without even trying, she did so back when she was 18/19 and played Kim at Broadway, and she does in present date. But i respect Rachelle's talent a lot! I wish her the best.
Heard that rachelle is doing well at the west end. Reviews and tweets are saying good things about her performance...and the crowd want to see more of gigi. Too bad its just a bit role..( but very memorable)
beccalou72 Im so jealous that you guys can watch the show.... im here in the philippines .......................... waiting for their cast recording ... poor poor me :'(
Incomparrable bosses ni lea so please wag i compare kay rachel ang layo eh. Polish na polish ung kay leah kay rachel she was okey but again d ma compare talaga kay leah.
I liked Rachelle Ann from the time she won in the contest.. but I started to like her a lot the moment I saw her singing broadway songs like Part of Your World! I never knew a stereotyped biritera like her could sing broadway songs so very good! and this video? well thanks a lot Tim Chen, it's a rare opportunity to see a Legend and a promising star sharing the stage for such a wonderful performance! I simply love both of them --- Ms. Lea Salonga & Ms. Rachelle Ann Go.
I had goosebumps while watching.. Both of them have powerful voices.. Kudos to both, Ms. Lea Salonga (Original Kim of Miss Saigon) and Ms Rachelle Ann Go (Modern day Gigi) :D

Saw this last night. I mean, come on, this is ridiculous. This girl has too much talent and is SO UNDERUSED. But she gets one of the best show numbers and doesnt disappoint.
Amazing to see her sing this with Lea too
Ryan Souch underused no more. she's eliza hamilton!
barbie polistico I'm seeing her in said Hamilton company next year! :) Really excited!
Lea Salonga has done a great job taking care of her voice. She still sounds youthful, her intonation is perfect, her range has expanded and her sound has become more fully rounded. She can still sing Kim like no one else.
She is gifted with a very good voice!!
Thank god there's no "who's still watching this year" comment!!!
Just came back from the 25th anniversary - Rachelle Ann is absolutely amazing. I had never cried during this song before.
I've seen Rachell Ann perform tonight and her voice has changed!!! She doesn't sound like a pop singer anymore but she's learnt voice control and she sounds fit for theatre now.
I first watched rachelle in les miz, and i think that she is really really really brilliant!!! She never failed me
I saw Rachelle Ann Go as Gigi last new year and it was literally the best live performance I have ever heard
Lea is still as amazing as ever :)
There's the signature crystal clear singing of the Leah Salonga. I also can't deny Rachel's wide vocal range . Both women are phenomenal.
Lea still got it!!!!! Great voice Rachelle Anne!!!
amazing singers....this is so beautiful
Lea is always be the best
Saw Rachelle last Friday in Miss Saigon London, and she was simply AMAZING!!!
Rachelle Ann is simply stunning in Miss Saigon!
2019 na and im still watching
i love it when they were smiling but suddenly change their expression when the orchestra started olaying!
im still in love with ms.lea salonga
Both representing the Philippines! woohoo!!
"Lea Salon-" *No, don't you dare say my name*
*Cuts Rachelle off* "Miss Rachelle Ann Go!"
Max Kwok Because it's Lea's concert...a guest should not do that after the performance...just my opinion though...
Galing!
What bothers me is that Rachelle breathes loudly, and you rarely hear Lea's. Very clean!
2 years later.. That's part of Gigi's character, heavy breathing showing desperation, listen to Isay Alvarez (original Gigi), she also did the heavy breathing.
That's how you sing gigi's part.
Yes i feel Rachell's breath .Lea's so calm .
omg ang galing nilang dalawa.
Can't help crying.
leah's voice has feelings when hearing it while rachelle lacks feelings its just a regular song sung by a good singer, thats the difference.
Rachelle singing is better now.
Sana gawing battle sa The Voice to. This or "I Still Believe"
I love Rachel..
OK, they are both great in here. I just hear Lea sing much clearer than Rachell.
lololololololol.. TRhat's hella funny how Lea's fob accent hella came back ha ha ha ha ha
This isn't the octave key I've heard her in.
Matutu patapusin ang kanta at the end saka ka pumalakpak Iyan ang totoong applaude
rachelle needs to train hard...its like she's singing a pop song...
How hard should she be trained? Be fair on your comments coz if she doesn't deserve the role from Saigon the team shouldn't have picked her to play Gigi. Rachelle already won an award from Broadwayworld meaning she doesn't only act good but she sings in a MUSICAL type of singing coz you can not win such an award from a well acclaimed award giving body if you do not act and sing the proper way FYI. ;)
Both are excellent.
Mark Daniel you need to train harder even
lea is effortless...compared to rachel
I don't understand all the criticism of Rachelle? She sounds incredible to my ears! Just because Lea may be better, definitely doesn't lower Rachelle's talent at all.

@@darylmilan and besides they both have Filipino blood. Let's just be happy for them and hope for the best.
lea salonga was born at the right time and place...miss saigon was meant for her... it was written in the stars...
Rachelle owned Gigi's Character, she's is now my forever favorite Gigi. And Lea Salonga is just irreplaceable as Kim. Lea's accent here though, she can go sound American, British and Filipino, how great is that?
Oh... Lea's accent does change depending on the people around. 😮
I noticed too.
She said she has good set of ears and can easily adopt the accent without even knowing it.
Yep!!
Rachelle was FABULOUS as Gigi I saw her the other night, I met her afterwards too and she was such a nice person

And their performance here is really good. I mean yeah. I like them both 😊
yahh agree
Agree...
Their duet in the 25th Anniversary Gala Finale was one of the most poignant and vocally demanding songs in musical theatre! Bravo!
I have got to agree on this one!
Link?
Isay Alvarez was the original Gigi but she didn't get the fame and media that Rachelle Ann Go got because she got overshadowed by Lea's Kim news.
Mitt Obama _Same for Eva_
This is actually sad because I enjoyed Isay's version very much.
Also Gigi’s role is actually very minor. Nonetheless Movie In My Mind is one of the standout songs from Miss Saigon
Yung feeling na chill si Lea sa high notes grabe!!
Vanessa Dumlao I cant speak that much Tagalog but I understand and agree!
coz leah is not a belter…singers on Rachelle’s generation has influence of birit….mataas at power..not soft and chill like leah..
So amazing to hear two beautiful voices. A words in every note worthy of remembering.

I saw Shin perform last October and she brought me to tears. Her rendition in this video is NOTHING when compared to the one she performs on West End.
LEA SALONGA NEVER LOSSES HER ANGELIC VOICE BRAVO LEA.. GODDLUCH TO RACHELLE ANN GO.. LEARNED WELL FROM WHERE U ARE RIGHT NOW:)
Lea is irreplaceable her high notes and she still sustain it.. though rachelle is also heart felt performance .. both of them are great singers 👊
D pa maganda pagkanta ni Rachelle d2.... may bahid Pop pa ung Technique nya... unlike ung Anniversary show n ngduet cla na mas ngImproved sya....
Lea is so humble..these two artists make me feel proud to be a filipino..
Rachelle is really good actress in Miss Saigon!!! I enjoyed her performance!!
Saw Rachelle in London, probably my favourite song of the whole show...
Could listen to their voices all day every day
Kapag na nood ako nito siguro true life pakiramdam ko apaka mayaman ko 😂 tapos mahihiya ako humiyaw 😅

lea salonga sings with so much emotion, no wonder she got the part of kim. you can feel the drama through her songs...
Rachelle Ann is the Broadway Gigi for the revival opening next month.
Rachelle's voice is powerful. I love it! 👑
Lea Salonga sings the high note effortless, she’s the best 👍👏👍❤️💕❤️

Both is amazing... Lea n Rachel nailed it.
lea salonga is better thann raechell... god your voice lea your voice...
Lea so sad because you said to love one another, but why so hard to 💘 love your country the Philippines
I think that’s not what she really meaned!
Another person who has poor reading comprehension :(
Rachelle is fantasic in the new production.
I've seen the show twice this year and Rachelle Ann Go is just brilliant!
+Boundless Imagination :-)
When the show comes to Broadway again I hope Rachelle Ann Go is in it
Brandon Roffina me too :-)
Guess what guys?! Rachelle is set to star in Miss Saigon Broadway later this year! A legit international star!
Yes Rachelle sings like a pop singer here, but damn so good! Imagine how better she sings it now in london!
Hi! May I ask, what camera/camcorder you use? Excellent quality. Thank you!
Wow! Brilliant singers! Thank you Mr. Tim Chen for posting this!
It is very rare that Lea goes sharp..
I love Lea. One of the first musical theater voices I fell in love with, but if you think her voice sounds better than Rachelle's in this video, you are in denial.

rachelle ann, mas bagay sa kanya and broadway songs it fits her voice better than pop music
As far as i remember, there's another vid with a million views but i can find it here in youtube :(
🎉
Heard that rachelle is doing well at the west end. Reviews and tweets are saying good things about her performance...and the crowd want to see more of gigi. Too bad its just a bit role..( but very memorable)
I saw her in the show at the weekend and she was amazing, Movie in My Mind made me cry.

Kinakabahan si Rachelle. Ka-duet ba naman si Lea. They're both really really good!!!
