If there's a heirarchy of celebrities in the Philippines, then Lea Salonga is the highest in that pyramid. She is a gem of the Philippines. The national treasure of the country!
@@bb89670 hello she never dip herself with Hollywood because she's more on Broadway, one of the highest pillar in entertainment industry, in fact a lot of Hollywood celebrities knew Lea Salonga., Hollywood, Broadway, Music and TV just circles around in entertainment.
She did Hollywood shows.. 1995 she was the lead role Redwood Curtain, 2000 & 2003 she was also the lead role of As The World Turns. She guested in ER in late 90s or early 2000s and also guested in Crazy Ex Girlfriend last 2014.
Saw Lea yesterday at the Sydney Opera House. She is amazing live in concert. She had all 2679 people on their feet dancing & screaming go more after her version of Abba songs. A class act. Phillipinos should be proud. Flying down to Melbourne to see her again!
frankacuso Agreed. It's one thing to be proud OF someone who is talented, but it's another thing to say you're a "proud Pinoy here" just because another Filipino is talented. This is not about US, but about the talented. Be proud of the talented, not yourselves, because we have absolutely nothing to do with the talent of the talented...we just happen to share a nationality with them, something we were simply born into and did not even work for.

jeremiah asoy Read my comment again. I did not say that Audrey Hepburn is an accent. I clearly said “she sounded just like Audrey Hepburn”. That’s what I said. Because she did sound like Audrey Hepburn when she was a teenager after she somewhat had the British accent. An American accent is different from sounding like Audrey Hepburn. Next time, i suggest that you fully comprehend what you’re reading.
@@miguelguzman1495 - I thought you were talking about how she sounds nowadays. I know that she somewhat sounded like english back then but she unarguably does sound like american when and after she got her tony award.
i rememberd the time she won a prestigeos oliver award in london she was in a cover of asiaweek magazine headlined as this ' a teen ager from manila made big wave in london's broadway show'...mabuhay ka lea mabuhay ang pilipinas
Gerard and Lea Salonga are the best role models for brothers and sisters. They loved each other so dearly and their passion for music is incredible. Lea Salonga will always be one of the best Disney Princess singer ever as well as Ms. Saigon. ❤️
@@najgarcia410 True some on them pronounce her last name "Salona" with is very embarrassing, they're interviewere they should've researched first on how to pronounce her name. Because that is just so embarrassing.
Saw her live at a small venue at the university of Las Vegas Nevada theatre. Listening to her live transports you to a place where you feel happy, you smile, and you become immersed and mesmerized by her voice. A true gift from God to the world.
Am very proud of you, Idol Lea! So overwhelmed with gratefulness that you represent and raved respects for us Filipinos all over the world with your remarkable accomplishments and recognitions. May you continuously be blessed as you share your God-given talents with the whole humanity. Bravo!!! 🤗👏😘🇵🇭
When I was a young child in the early 80s, I remember Leah Salonga coming to our school in Benedictine Abbey and perform in a children's stage show with a giant tomato mascot named Ariz Kamatis. I forgot the other vegetables but she was a little girl back then and it was bizarre. Her mother groomed her to become a superstar but back then, everyone saw her as the local wonder child who would everyone adored.
Si Lea ang isa sa taong kilala kong magaling mag english at mag tagalog. Ang ganda ng pronunciation nya kahit ang bilis magsalita maiintindihan mo talaga.
It's been almost 4 years since this interview, I'm ended up here following her achievements from miss Saigon. I envy the Philippines for having such a wonderful person that they can be proud of. Hopefully, someday we can have such a person that we can proud of as well. All love and support from MARIKINA CITY!!!
Wow.. I remember many years ago. I was in Seoul Korea I was approached by few Korean girls in a bar and they started asking me about Leah if I know her. And because I'm Stupid enough to answer yes and I even told them that's she is my neighbor back in the Philippines and they wowed me😅😅😅😅😅..
The original will always be the best no matter what revision it will take. This was the most magnificent iconic duo in the history of Aladin's A whole New world.
The first time I heard of Lea Salonga was in 2000 from a doctor that I used to work for. I was impressed then subscribed some years ago! What an amazing talent!
Im a fan of lea salonga since i saw her face in our book sibika in Philippines and started to listen here song .. Im also 10 years old that time but now im 16 still listen her song 😊😊😊😊 Sorry about my grammar
idina menzel, Ariana grande and John legend ruined Disney movie !! it should be romantic and nostalgic moment but the pop and videoke background ruined everything .. bring back the old Disney please. Leah I love you!!
Ms Leah...so proud of what you have become...watching your video ...assimilating every word you've said..how that ball rolls in your life is not an accident ..it really was, is ,will always be meant for you , for you is such a good daughter , no wonder everything falls in good direction..God bless you...
I feel sorry for the contestants of the voice ph that had the prestigious opportunity to pick and work with Lea but DIDN'T. sarah g and bamboo? come on..
♡ Amazing ♡ I've seen her up close and taken a picture with her. She is indeed a breath of fresh air! One thing I'd like to say though is; to those Filipinos who get all über patriotic and assertive and start calling her the Philippine's Pride and Joy and etc: we do this thing...and when we aren't proud of a fellow Filipino celebrity who goes international and gets into a scandal, we start talking them down and shaming them for making Philippines look bad. I'd like to say that these people have sacrificed a lifetime of themselves to their passions. And they should all be graced with how hard working they all are!!! Regardless of how they turn out. It makes Filipinos look like arrogant hypocrites and honestly pisses me off! -_- *end rant* On a more positive note, this interview was amazing. Lea is so inclusive and receptive as were the interviewers. These three have very good chemistry. I enjoyed this clip thoroughly. Thank you kindly for posting. ♡
I thought it was just me 😁😁 . Can't stand them taking a credit on someone else's success. Common phrases "Filipino pride and Proud to be a Filipino " is delusional and really makes me sick 😷 is

Santi 008 Luko Luko! Wag mong ilahat ang pinoy gago! Hindi lahat bakla katulad mo!
Santi 008 She tried Hollywood, never made it so she went home back to the Philippines where she knows she can be more successful.
No question!

I agree. I wish I could speak English fluently and confidently like that.

Attended her concert in Melbourne! It was the best performance I've ever seen.
I love the way she talks, very fluent in English..
She kind of had a British accent when she was a teenager. And then at some point, she sounded just like Audrey Hepburn.
@@miguelguzman1495 - audry hepburn is not an accent. What you meant though is she sounds american now.
