Waleska fan girling is everything 😅🥰💖
Lea is the voice, beauty, wit and class ❤❤❤
Phil Collins is one of Filipino Favorites from the 90’s . His music is popular in the Philippines.
Iconic performances!I hope she'll be guesting in your FFP, and also Martin nievera.i love these two great artists 👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
MY FAVORITES:
• Allegiance
• Once On This Island
Ms. Lea is very humble to say her name first on her intro where she surprised the bride, and not just assume immediately that she's known by everyone in there. She's really humble eventhough she's a legend. LOVE HER!!!
Just wow.. The earlier clips were vintage 😂 But damn, Ms. Lea looked so much better as the years went by 🥰🥰🥰
I always love to watch Ms Lea Salonga..a real and total performer and the best of all!! Thanks for featuring her performances. God bless!!❤️❤️❤️🙏🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Lea is and will always be my musical idol. Love her so much!
Thank you very much for featuring the compilations of Ms Lea Salonga's performances. You are both superb and thanks for appreciating and loving Lea and other Filipino artists.❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Still listening to her song with Brad Kane, We Could Be In Love. Love the MV too.
I love lea.. our national artist to be, in the Philippines..
Waleska I just wanna say that You're Drop dead Gorgeous!!! Love the eye make up and so the lip color it really suits you 💖😍
Hi Waleska I hope you react to Lea Salonga singing her Disney songs in a wedding. She was technically invited to sing a song for the bride who is a huge Disney fan and Lea happen to sung two Disney songs that's why she was invited in that wedding.
She also played “Cinderella” , Sandy in “ Grease” and the witch in “ Into the Woods”
Yeah, her life is a musical theater. Just to add, before Annie, she did The King and I. She also did Fiddler on the Roof, Sound of Music, Fantasticks, and a lot more.
I also saw her as Mrs. Lovett a few years ago. She doesn’t usually take on such roles, so it was a treat!
You must see the performance of lea salonga, regine velasquez and sarah geronimo on sarah g's concert the audience is wild
OH MY GOD if you want to hear her more in a cockney accent watch her clips on here as Mrs. Lovett! She's incredible as always!
I pray that Lea sees how Waleska gushes over her and you guys get a chance to do a Podcast with Lea Salonga! ^_^
Arggh Ms. Leaaaaaaa.
I'm really addicted to her. 👑💗
Lea Salonga did Sound of Music too.
I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS TO LEA!
Lea's very first show was THE KING AND I (she was 7 years old), but ANNIE was her first lead role at age 9 (1980). The clips of MISS SAIGON are funny because they are from various years/productions/performances. "You will not touch him" (with Thuy) was from the 2000 Manila production (Lea is 29) and then Lea singing "Last Night of the World" with Simon Bowman would have been from 1989-1990 (Lea at 18 or 19). Weird to include a clip of Lea at the Oscars since it's one of the only times she didn't sing live! (Lea has mentioned this in interviews: there was so much "production" going on including the machine that was moving the flying carpet that made so much noise - they couldn't sing live.) Lea singing "I Still Believe In Love" (the character of Sonia from THEY'RE PLAYING OUR SONG) is from a concert. I have never seen any footage of Lea as Sonia. Weird that the listing for FLOWER DRUM SONG only has one year. It premiered in LA in 2001 and was on Broadway in 2002. The Broadway musical ALLEGIANCE was filmed, so it is available to view. I just don't know what platform (and I don't think it's free). Of course, Lea has a lot more credits (even if you only count musical ones) that aren't included in here: Lea as Fantine on Broadway in 2007 and the LES MISERABLES 25th Anniversary Concert in 2010, Lea as Mrs. Lovett in SWEENEY TODD in 2019, Lea playing Mother in a RAGTIME concert in 2013 (roughly 15 years after the original musical premiered), Lea as Grace Farrell in ANNIE at the Hollywood Bowl in 2018, Lea in the animated show "Centaurworld" on Netflix (several Broadway people involved in it and Lea sings a couple of songs), and I think they should have included a clip of Lea singing with Menudo back in the 1980s!
I also remember her doing Sound of Music for Repertory Philippines.
Lea is indeed a philippine treasure!!!!
I never skip ads, to show my appreciation, and guyz it’s so tempting to skip because some of the ads was 11:34min. But I stick to it ,and thanks God I had finished 😅😅 .watching here in taiwan Godbless ❤
Please react to Lea Salonga's masterclass. ❤❤❤
yes yes
I totally agree about Les mis. The movie was good but seeing it in person is on ANOTHER level. I literally sobbed from the first note until we’ll after the final note lol
Please react to "I'd give my life for you" by lea on Ms. Saigon. I miss your reactions to lea to be honest.
That is such a sweet wedding gift from the dad. The bride would remember that gesture forever.
We love you two😊☝🙏🤩😍yes we admire Lea since she was a kid..she is smart among her peers..she has a unique charm..we are proud of her👏👏from me and Sarah.
You too Waleska..a Goddess
8:17 if u guys haven't watched it yet, there's an example of this accent during an interview in 1996:
ua-cam.com/video/-82qqO2ukO4/v-deo.html

ua-cam.com/video/NJ1ejnyoHNc/v-deo.html
and
ua-cam.com/video/DITrKJomx5E/v-deo.html
It didn't include her movies and TV show/guesting. It's a dream and bucket list to watch Lea on stage
Waleska, i'll send you Lea's Allegiance thru instagram. They released a proshot and selling dvd's.
Hello! Mabuhay Waleska & Efra❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yay!!! I love it when you guys reacts to Ms. Lea 😍😍😍❤
such videos of Lea singin the entire years is such a blast, i felt nostalgic hearing that piece from Cats becoz its one of my mom's favorite songs 😊 good ol days 😊
If you did not watch the 1991 Toni Awards, this is where she was awarded as miss Saigon, You can start watching exactly 1:35hrs and watch her speech..
I really wish she comes to your podcast, that would be amazing
She also did Cinderella, Sweeney Todd and so much more plus tv shows etc. react to Sweeney Todd to hear Lea's cockney accent.
idk but I can't wait for her to be in your podcast 💕💕🤩🤩
Hola guapa y guapo por supesto 😉
me muero de risa con ustedes, ambos son divertidos y tan simpaticos un fuerte abrazo desde Francia Carmen
I hope you both will go see Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends on the West End running mid-Sept thru early Jan at the Gielgud. Lea will be returning to the West End in that show for the first time in 27 years. And Bernadette Peters will make her West End debut. I would love to hear Lea sing a whole bunch of Sondheim.
Together wherever we go with Lea's brother pls. They sang to surprise their mother or A little priest from Sweeney Todd or any clip so you can hear her cockney accent and also Miss Saigon Highlights so Efra can fully see how that musical goes. Thank you!
The guy whose cheekbones you were gushing over: Jose Llana. He is starting in the Broadway musical HERE LIES LOVE that Lea is co-producing, premiering in June and Lea will be in for 5 weeks this summer!
Also, you should watch Lea on Stars in the House from March 2020. It’s probably close to an hour - chatting with Lea and she sings a couple of songs.
Mabuhay guys mahal ko kayu
The first time she ever aired back in the 70s when she did the OST of the original drama series Flor de Luna. And then she released I am but a Small Voice which also became a big hit. I hope you get to listen to those as well.
In the Miss Saigon clip, the other partner was Cocoy Laurel whos is also a Filipino theater icon (Denise's uncle).
Hey guys, I really love your stuff and I hope you would do a Moroccan feature Friday soon!
Please do react to Jessica Sanchez when she was just 10 years old and that she was the wild card at the Americas Got Talent way back in time. She sang "I Surrender", and gosh her growl is the sound of Beyonce right now!!! Such an underrated talent.
Waleska, was there a westend production of OOTI? anyway What makes Once on this island more special to Lea is that for the first time she plays a Filipino. She played a Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, French but this time A goddess of love, Erzulie, a Filipino nurse that someone like her a Filipino finally playing a Filipino on stage. And did i just tell you that show won as Best musical Revival on the Tony awards? You can check out the cast performance on the Tony's with Alex Newell of Glee.
Lea also had a movie released in 1995, Redwood Curtain with Jeff Daniels and John Lithgow.
You should also see her in the movies. Please react to her sing Nandito Ako (composed by Ogie) with Ariel Rivera and also Sana Maulit Muli (originally by Gary V)
Please react the full video surprise the bride you wil love it thanks for your all reaction i really love it.. love from ph🇵🇭
omg I love Phil Collins. I used to have a lot of his CDs lol He's the best! I especially love his Brother Bear songs, and tarzan oc XD the percussions is amazing you can feel them in your bones
Leah is iconic. Btw, you might wanna watch SB19 at wishbus USA singing MAPA, goosebumps!
I hope that you'll get to interview Lea Salonga, one of these days.
Speaking of cockney accent, you need to watch her in Old Friends right now coz she played Mrs Lovett and her cockney accent is sooo goooddd!
before Miss Saigon she also did music video with Charlie Maso( I still Believe) from the latino boygroup Menudo along with Ricky Martin, Robi Rosa, Ray Acevedo, and Sergio Blass with the song That Situation.
Fun Fact : The contemporary song here that Efra loves was from a musical They're playing our song is where Lea fell in love with her co-star and she said maybe because the whole show was basically revolving around their characters and because of the kissing scenes. That ex was also the Broadway Thuy of Miss Saigon. They closed the show together. While Lea has another leading man in that same show. In Allegiance they become partners again many many years later. You could also check their duet and how professional they are. The tittle of the song is This is not over. Lyrics goes something like this.. This is not over, we are not over, you are my future not my past.. imagine singing this with an ex boyfriend and doing kissing scene afterwards.
You mean the guy who sings aladin?
@@wakuwaku9920 Nope. the one who played Thuy in Miss Saigon Broadway (Closing) and her partner in Allegiance. The same leading man for They're playing our song musical.
@@MystyReiousThe actor you’re talking about is Michael K. Lee. He did co-star with Lea in the musical They’re Playing Our Song, but he was a replacement actor because the original guy couldn’t finish the run. Michael was a replacement Thuy on broadway, playing in the final weeks along with Lea (early 2001). He was her last boyfriend before she met her husband (in fall 2001). They worked together again in Allegiance where he was Lea’s love interest. He has also guested at one or two of her concerts as well. Definitely still friends after all these years.
Lea Salonga also did Sweeney Todd in 2019.. saw it on her IG.
They're Playing Our Song the play where the popular song Falling came from.
There were a few roles missing on the video, lea also played:
One of the children in Sound Of Music..
Sandy from Grease (1995)
The witch ( Into the Woods)
Mrs Lovette ( Sweeney Todd )
The second muLan sang by christina ,and lea.❤❤❤❤
Lea Salonga is not just a great performer and artist, she is also a fantastic human being. She's been through a lot. She receive numerous accolades and recognitions yet she remained humble and authentic. Always thanking her for creating a path that gives opportunity to people, especially people of color, to show their talents to the world. She's a blessing from God.
Btw, Thanks Waleska and Efra! Always looking forward to your reactions on Lea Salonga. I have some recommendations , if u haven't watch these yet, you should check em out:

ua-cam.com/video/hZfw6k3QohE/v-deo.html
a fortune-teller once told her mother that she will become a beauty queen, like miss philippines of some sort. she didn't become miss philippines though, she became miss saigon
Way back 2013, Lea's talent fee was 100Thousand Philippine pesos (around $2000 US) for 3 to 4 songs
Hi Waleska and Efra. You might like to check out Lea Salonga's hit song when she was 9 years old. It's "I Am But A Small Voice", from her debut album "Small Voice", released in 1981. The album was a certified gold in the Philippines. This led to her own TV show called "Love, Lea."
so far to all that I have watched, Frozen is the only cartoon that has that successful sequel.
BTW, the guy in the scene where she was holding "her child", is another Filipino, his name is Robert Sena. Lea's understudy was also a Filipina named Monique Wilson. So... they were some of the Filipinos that were with her in Miss Saigon. There were lots of others there too. Enjoy.
first ❤️
Yazzz kween🤍💅
you may also want to check out her wedding song. its one of the favorite wedding songs. composed by leah nd his brother gerard salonga. its old maybe you can choose one from her concerts
ua-cam.com/video/ji3bEFoBYtA/v-deo.html
That was actually composed by Louie Ocampo.
What's not in here is that Lea Salonga played The Witch from Into The Woods in Singapore before.
I hate it when Efra turns philosophical and reflective because the things he says are so true 😂😂😂😂
👍🤗
Oh that guy in the Alladin song is actually the same guy in the song "We could be in love".
The viet soldier in the clip is also a Filipino🤩
Thuy in miss saigon the officer is also Filipino Mr. Robert Seña

ua-cam.com/video/hZfw6k3QohE/v-deo.html
I never had the chance to watch Les Miz bcoz it’s always sold out every time I visit London😢
React to Lea Salonga and Pentatonix “Christmas In Our Hearts”
Can you please react to leas version of colors of the wind. She has a live performance and I think her performance of the song is better than her jasmine and Mulan songs.
You missed The King and I although it was just a recording but she also did The King and I with Julie Andrews (1992)
i think the talent fee is not a problem if your talking about filipino culture try to asked Leah if she is available and I think she will say yes you know in filipino just asked if its no conflict or so what ever she may say yes just for the love of singing it is in the filipino blood kind, helpful, thoughtful, and happy people
that first soldier is also a Filipino.....
