I didn't even need to search for the lyrics when I first heard her sang this song! Her diction is one of the reasons why she's world-class since forever! I love you Lea, my forever idol!
Andrew Lopez she actually has been speaking english since her childhood and actually have a sort of an english accent that had been lost when she grew up but I bet she can still use that accent.
I know very little about this musical. Lea's older version is the first I've heard this song in full. Then I watched other versions, then this one. Lea is the standard, for sure.
She knows how to attack the notes while taking care of her voice at the same time. No wonder her instrument has remained in pristine shape even after all these years!
It's rare for her to use chest. Usually the "chestiest " she gets is when she's using her chest mix register. That's basically the heaviest, fullest part of your mixed voice, that uses the biggest component of chest in it. Usually used for the lower part of your mixed voice.
I wonder if she just got so deep into that character from playing Eponine for so long or if she ever went through this in real life too and that's where it's coming from.
Jean Valjean maybe?...hahaha...but srsly 'dislikes'!!!??? I'd like to know the standards of those who did not like this. Anuh? bingi lng!? Why watch it then?
I was fortunate to see Lea as Kim on final preview night on Broadway, and again a few months later... she was remarkable. A few years later, I saw her as both Eponine and Fantine on Broadway. She was outstanding as Fantine, not as well cast as Eponine, in spite of her gorgeous voice and fine acting. I'll venture that as Lea is THE Kim, Frances Ruffelle will always be the THE Eponine.
im not an expert in music but i think lea has always been using the correct technique in singing, no wonder she almost sound the same as of today. cant wait for her concert here in dubai on september 2017
True right technique save her voice for long time. Yan palagi sinasabi nya sa mga biritera save voice sa tamang technique. Tingan mo si regine na dati kaya nyan abutin yung madali sa kanya. after giving birth nagbago. Naturuan siya sa broadways ng mga scholars sa voice. Tingan mo yung kumanta sa little mermaid ng disney hindi nagbago kase never siyang kumanta ng iba na sisira sa quality ng voice. Sabi huwag daw kanta ng kanta sa mga songs na hindi mo linya nakaksira daw yun ng boses. Si lea never siya kumang ng pop, rock neto lang ng tapos na mga broadway nya pero limited na magsama siya ng ibang genre sa concerts. Kantahin lang yung porte mo huwag isasagad. Si clair dela puente never kumantan ng iba. Branding nila si leah puro broadway music minsan tagalog pero convert sa broadway music
willmar brin o.Parang falseto lg noon Kasi nga kamuntikan nang mawala Ang boses nya nung nasa miss Saigon pa sya..Kaya gumagamit xa Ng classical technique para ma preserve boses nya remember her story during micah's audition
Oh my God her voice when she sung this song many many years ago is still sounds the same! Not sure if Sara G. will still have the same quality and sound of her voice when she reach 40 years old.... Classical technique is really great in preserving the voice quality...
After all these years and Lea still remains amazing. I love how she always gets so inmersed in the character. Some singers just stand there straightfaced. She signs from the heart.
Nothing has changed, Her voice is still crystal clear. Ms. Lea perfectly shown that she already mastered this song. She's indeed incredibly talented. Bravo!!! 😍😍😍😘😘👍👍👍👏 👏 👏 👏
shabytin bcuz some popsters are idiots they keep pushing sarah to the achievement of ms lea.. in which it is always far and unreachable... and they dislike ms lea bcuz of allegedly boastful attitude which is not very true.... MS LEA is the most true to her self and even scared to face on camera even without make up on.
That's because most popsters always cast Sarah as the best ever almost like a god lol she can never reach what lea had. Recently they bashed sharon with the same attitude. I personally think sarah is average, her fans are just exaggerating.
ZLATAN AGREES u think the same. Sarah for me is overrated. She's not as good as what they claim to be. She's the best dancer for me though among female celebrities. Ung karisma at swag nya lg nagdadala. Pero sa boses napaka average.
Such a head turner, powerful voice that one can not ignore..i just held my breath everytime i watch her sing 'on my own'..definitely world class..i adore her bec.she is who she is..wala na dedz na ko! uwi ka na po coach! We really miss you na!!
Quoting from what she sang on "A Whole New World" - "It's crystal clear." Her voice still stands strong after 20+ years of singing that same song. Thank You Lea Salonga.
A fantastic performance, this song On My Own, could have written for. She really has done this piece of music justice. Her voice and diction is just so crystal clear and one enjoys the song better when you can hear and understand the lyrics. Lea has such a unique voice which has matured beautfully with age. Such a talented Artist and worthy of all the accolades awarded her.
always a classic and an elegant performance from one and the only leah Salonga! What a great priviledge seeing u perform. I am PROUD to be a filipino because of you. PADAYON!
I LOVE YOU MS LEA SALONGA... PAG NARIRINIG KO TO FEELING KO NASA AUDIENCE AT NANUNUOD NANG LIVE... HALOS SUMABOG ANG PUSO KO SOBRANG EMOTIONS. ANG GALIIINGGG!!!!
Lea Salonga may not have been the original singer for this song but she’s the one who set the standard. Lea Salonga you are incomparable. She is truly THE Eponine!
She set the bar so high. I don't know how anyone else even attempts to sing this song. The way she transitions after pretending like its nothing, I can't even.
the angels is singing with hear..my god the voice is heaven choir! not in this world! She's a God given to the Universe...even aliens would stand as ovated! Gods gift!
And now I'm all alone again Nowhere to turn, no one to go to Without a home, without a friend Without a face to say "Hello" to But now the night is near And I can make-believe he's here Sometimes I walk alone at night When everybody else is sleeping I think of him and then I'm happy With the company I'm keeping The city goes to bed And I can live inside my head On my own Pretending he's beside me All alone I walk with him till morning Without him I feel his arms around me And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me In the rain the pavement shines like silver All the lights are misty in the river In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight And all I see is him and me forever and forever And I know it's only in my mind That I'm talking to myself and not to him And although I know that he is blind Still I say, there's a way for us I love him But when the night is over He is gone The river's just a river Without him The world around me changes The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers I love him But every day I'm learning All my life I've only been pretending Without me His world will go on turning A world that's full of happiness That I have never known I love him I love him I love him But only on my own
Can anyone do this song better than her?! I like this more than her version during Les Miz 10th anniversary! So much honesty and artistry in her voice... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Grabe idol talaga kita ate Lea kahit anong tagal mo ng kantahin ng paulit ulit i can still feel the soul of the songs .. Salamat at my Lea Salonga lagi po ko naiinspire pakinggan mga songs nyo.. ❤❤#tearsofjoy #imsotouched
What’s extraordinary about this is that usually over time women’s voices drop/get deeper. But she sounds almost the same as she did in the 1995 concert! Amazing 💗
not only a great singer but also a great actress. deserving of the Tony award for Miss Saigon. she's the best Eponine ever. and the best Fantine too!!!

I love you Lea, my forever idol!
Aaron Joshua Alcala so true
agree. it's too clear
i wonder if that's because English hasn't been her first language so she's had to study every bit where as us English slurr galore haha!
Andrew Lopez she actually has been speaking english since her childhood and actually have a sort of an english accent that had been lost when she grew up but I bet she can still use that accent.
she’s had to? maybe she had to lol
She deserves NATIONAL ARTIST award!
jing sumoba for sure
HERE
INTERNATIONAL RATHER
yes
yes please.. National Artist in Music...
This song is made for her.
people will never get tired of hearing this being performed by her.
She will always be the standard for this one. 😍
Mike Allen She's the GOAT
Mike Allen this is so true
I agree. She is the standard of that song.
I know very little about this musical. Lea's older version is the first I've heard this song in full. Then I watched other versions, then this one. Lea is the standard, for sure.
I believe Lea's range got higher, compared to when she was younger. She seldomn use her head tone when reaching high notes now. Pure chest voice!!!!
I believe that's what they meant. It's still an improvement of chest voice.
She uses both. She mixes if she wants to sing piano in high notes. She goes to pure chest if she sings forte.
Definitely not chest voice- her voice would be dead by now... she’s an expert at mixed voice
She knows how to attack the notes while taking care of her voice at the same time. No wonder her instrument has remained in pristine shape even after all these years!
It's rare for her to use chest. Usually the "chestiest " she gets is when she's using her chest mix register. That's basically the heaviest, fullest part of your mixed voice, that uses the biggest component of chest in it. Usually used for the lower part of your mixed voice.
"I love him." every fucking time dude. I feel her heart break through her singing. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME
I wonder if she just got so deep into that character from playing Eponine for so long or if she ever went through this in real life too and that's where it's coming from.
Yep. She's the only one who gets that each of the "I love him"'s has a different force...1: Desperation 2: Abandon 3: Determination
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
This is like Eponine still singing On my own tho she's grown up. The pain's still the same
YATOGAMI Except she never got to grow up.
Sushi Lavaa i was abt to reply this
I'll hmauvim
Sorry the onions are really strong 😭😭😭😭
awwwww ://
That one dislike is from Cosette
hhaaha
Now 5, Cosette stop making fake accounts! 😂
Manta Del Rey 😂😂😂the best comment
now 8, damn it cosette!! 😂
Jean Valjean maybe?...hahaha...but srsly 'dislikes'!!!??? I'd like to know the standards of those who did not like this. Anuh? bingi lng!? Why watch it then?
Medyo ganito rin yung boses ko dati, nahamugan lang ako nung bata. Di na bumalik.
Malas lang 😂😂😂
HAHAGAAGGA
HAHAHAHAHA
Hahaha! Best comment ever! 😂😂😂
anaknipara mapapamura nalang sa kamalasan hahaha
THE EPONINES OF ALL EPONINES 💞
She is FATINE
She played both Fantine and Eponine.
Rosalie Fiel she started as Eponine, and later became Fantine.
I was fortunate to see Lea as Kim on final preview night on Broadway, and again a few months later... she was remarkable. A few years later, I saw her as both Eponine and Fantine on Broadway. She was outstanding as Fantine, not as well cast as Eponine, in spite of her gorgeous voice and fine acting. I'll venture that as Lea is THE Kim, Frances Ruffelle will always be the THE Eponine.
She's the gold standard for that roles of Fantine and Ephonine.
im not an expert in music but i think lea has always been using the correct technique in singing, no wonder she almost sound the same as of today. cant wait for her concert here in dubai on september 2017

I am not sure but i think her voice is much powrful now compared beforw. Greatness!!!!
willmar brin tama. Yung high notes parang mas strong at galing talaga sa chest. Dati parang falsetto lng..
Efren Antiporda yup mas better ngaun kasi mas marinig mo sya ...linaw linaw nya kumanta
willmar brin o.Parang falseto lg noon Kasi nga kamuntikan nang mawala Ang boses nya nung nasa miss Saigon pa sya..Kaya gumagamit xa Ng classical technique para ma preserve boses nya remember her story during micah's audition
Agree. It's called experience.
charm totskie e
This Filipina singer is legendary! I'm a fan here.
Manny Jackson that makes two of us.
@@darthkurland No, three of us.
and I’m an air conditioner 😭
i love how she gets into character the moment the song playeddd.. i love her so much
My God, that voice, that emotion. Tears.
The song piece suits only for her
Yep, I agree. This is really one of the songs which Lea Salonga brings to a different kind of high.
Nobody can ever outdone her version, ever!!!
i cannot agree more. she is golden.❤❤❤
she's the queen!!!!! She set the standard so high that it can't be reach by anyone
u can notice when other artists singing this they're impersonating this voice
Oh my God her voice when she sung this song many many years ago is still sounds the same!
Not sure if Sara G. will still have the same quality and sound of her voice when she reach 40 years old....
Classical technique is really great in preserving the voice quality...
Yazmarohma42 sarah will still have her great voice :) don't worry :)
Charles Magaao agree ako sayo!
Yazmarohma42 Sarah will. But you will
true
The sure thing is both of them have great moms which I questioned my parental skills often he he he!
How does she sound the same? 😍 Oh my gosh this woman!!!! Plus she doesn't seem to age as well 😍❤
Eponine... I can feel the pain. The power of Ms. Lea's voice is really amazing.
The clearest enunciation in the business! Bowdown b's!
Her voice health, natural easy feel to it and her diction. She was SO well trained as a singer. Listening to her is such an eargasm
The range of emotions she conveys in this is nuanced, complex, and clear. And she does it all with flawless singing technique. Lea Salonga is my hero!
Ok everyone knows her voice is clear as crystal, but her skin is too? That’s just unfair. She’s too perfect!
Yes but don’t forget that makeup exists too
When she started to sing the "I Love Him" ending, I got teary eyed, gosh Lea you really are a Phenomenal!
Awwwssss, Nobody can outdone this masterpiece of yours!!! Only LEA SALONGA can do....
If I can like this for 1M times, I'll do it! Amazing performance! Amazing vocals!
After all these years and Lea still remains amazing. I love how she always gets so inmersed in the character. Some singers just stand there straightfaced. She signs from the heart.
No one in this World quite like Lea Salonga! She's a Queen Indeed! A Legend for always! Philippines very own Treasure!
one of my favorite voices ever...this song was the one that made me a fan of hers.
Nothing has changed, Her voice is still crystal clear. Ms. Lea perfectly shown that she already mastered this song. She's indeed incredibly talented. Bravo!!! 😍😍😍😘😘👍👍👍👏 👏 👏 👏
WHO THE HELL WOULD THUMBS DOWN THIS VIDEO I MEAN THAT'S EPONINE RIGHT THERE
Maybe those people think they can do better!!! Hahaha... in their dreams, or not even. 🙄
Ignorant people
I don't know why people are comparing Lea with Sarah. Guys, they're friends!!! Plus they have different genres!
shabytin They just don't know what genres are and what the differences between genres are.
shabytin bcuz some popsters are idiots they keep pushing sarah to the achievement of ms lea.. in which it is always far and unreachable... and they dislike ms lea bcuz of allegedly boastful attitude which is not very true.... MS LEA is the most true to her self and even scared to face on camera even without make up on.
That's because most popsters always cast Sarah as the best ever almost like a god lol she can never reach what lea had. Recently they bashed sharon with the same attitude. I personally think sarah is average, her fans are just exaggerating.
ZLATAN AGREES u think the same. Sarah for me is overrated. She's not as good as what they claim to be. She's the best dancer for me though among female celebrities. Ung karisma at swag nya lg nagdadala. Pero sa boses napaka average.
shabytin ! Tama! Utang na loob tigil na. Their genres are so different, it will make you look like an idiot when you compare them.
i will never get tired of watching this video... she is so amazing
Wow ms. leah. You define perfection.
it brings shaver everytime I hear this song sang by her.. WOW!!!! makapanindig balahibo..
Best experience ever when I flew to New York just to see her as Fantine in Les Miserables. Love her so much. Please stay healthy Miss Leah!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such a head turner, powerful voice that one can not ignore..i just held my breath everytime i watch her sing 'on my own'..definitely world class..i adore her bec.she is who she is..wala na dedz na ko! uwi ka na po coach! We really miss you na!!
Beauty Talent Wit Smarts Class Charisma all rolled into one. Lea Salonga is perfection!
So true
Quoting from what she sang on "A Whole New World" - "It's crystal clear." Her voice still stands strong after 20+ years of singing that same song. Thank You Lea Salonga.
I like how she smoothly goes in the eponine character. Just like a glove
Lea, you are incredibly talented. You are the most peculiar artist among the others. You are phenomenal. 😊
A living legend of the Philippines ..she gets better thru ages...like a wine she sings with consistency
A fantastic performance, this song On My Own, could have written for. She really has done this piece of music justice. Her voice and diction is just so crystal clear and one enjoys the song better when you can hear and understand the lyrics. Lea has such a unique voice which has matured beautfully with age. Such a talented Artist and worthy of all the accolades awarded her.
Lea Salonga is truly a class of her own....pinoy pride at its best🇵🇭
Grabe no?saan nya hinuhugot boses nya?she sounds the same as she sung many years ago!! Omg😍
korek it's really God given talent! Hayzzzzz sana meron rin tayo hahaha

Talk about greatness. Nothing compares. She's just beyond this world!!!!
No one will sing this better than Lea... 2017and still nailing it! my forever favorite singer oh she is not only a singer she is a story teller❤
Lea Salonga may not have been the original singer for this song but she’s the one who set the standard. Lea Salonga you are incomparable. She is truly THE Eponine!
It's like you're watching the play... clarity and visualization of the whole story, the moment she opens her mouth!
No one sings it better than Lea!

her diction is clearer than my future
sheer perfection! phenomenal and pure filipino talent... proud filipino here :)
wow amazing hope to watch more of your performance. Love lots from Thailand. 😘
This is beyond perfection. Her voice just captures my soul.
Still magically beautiful... her voice is still at its best... BRAVO! 👏
She OWNS this song.
Wonderful. I didn't know about this festival or I would have gone. I'm so sad I missed her.
the angels is singing with hear..my god the voice is heaven choir! not in this world! She's a God given to the Universe...even aliens would stand as ovated! Gods gift!
Her voice changed a bit, it has become richer.. specially low notes are super rich and thick.. amazing as always
And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to
Without a home, without a friend
Without a face to say "Hello" to
But now the night is near
And I can make-believe he's here
Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers
I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life
I've only been pretending
Without me
His world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known
I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own
Can anyone do this song better than her?! I like this more than her version during Les Miz 10th anniversary! So much honesty and artistry in her voice... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If I can Like this a thousand or a million times, I will.. She's amazing.! World class!
I am always your fan Lea since Annie. You are superb, what a voice and blessed also with a very charming face.
This still gives me goosebumps! Holy cow! Nothing has change, a powerful yet stunning soft voice! 👏😀
Words could
Not express how i adore and love her talent.
There was a festival in the UK this year with Lea Salonga singing?!? ...Balls!
Breathtaking and moving!

Ang GALING niya sobra 👏🏻👏🏻 😍😍😍
Still sounds as fresh as her performance during the 10th anniversary concert of Les Miz.

Lea you are gold. and will never fade😍💕
she is a legend..I never tired of listening her voice..I pray I can watch her concert personally..
Best eponine ever!
What’s extraordinary about this is that usually over time women’s voices drop/get deeper. But she sounds almost the same as she did in the 1995 concert! Amazing 💗
Wow! This is the first time she used this orchestration! :D
The chill when she sings
Who is here in 2019 and can't get enough of Miss Lea? 💖...or am i on my own?...
2021!💗💕
not only a great singer but also a great actress. deserving of the Tony award for Miss Saigon. she's the best Eponine ever. and the best Fantine too!!!
I love ms Lea... great voice till now!! 👍👏👏👏❤️
