@@Muskratlove bakit, kailangan ba akong maging expert para pwede akong magsabi kung ano ang mas gusto ko at mas maganda para sa akin? Hindi ako fan ni Ruthie, objectively, mas nagagandahan ako sa performance niya. Ikaw ang halatang die hard fantard.
@@baltazarmelchor451 Kahit sabihin mo yan, her "pitchy and too much vibrato" voice still one an Olivier and a Tony, and never once was Lea called pitchy by pitchy feeling ko lang sa acoustics ang may problema kasi it's projected through speakers kaya it sounds pitchy.
What I love about Lea's version of Eponine and Fantine, is she made them into these complex characters. She made them powerful and like they had all these other traits instead of just being in love for one guy for Eponine. In On My Own, she even incorporated the 5 stages of grief in one performance.
@Jon Adol did you know it was the same fierceness of character that bagged her the main role in Saigon when she auditioned for it while only 18... There were 2 of them, local actresses with serious theater chops even at that age... The other girl was also chosen but became understudy, and eventually also reprised the role of Gigi in Miss Saigon. Lea's rendition of the song "I'd give my life for you" imbued a bit of rage and fierceness of a mother vowing to protect her child. The other young actress was all tenderness and love for her baby. The producers thot Lea nailed it. :)
@@ongjanette The other Filipina actress that was being considered for the role of Kim was Monique Wilson. She was cast as the Kim understudy in the original London production and as the bargirl Mimi. Monique took over the lead role of Kim a year later when Lea left and I think she played it for about two years.
Many have sang this song but leas version is so amazing her voice plus her delivery is just uncomparable. She puts intensity and let you soak to the emotion of the song.
Wow, I wish I would've been more into my filipino roots when I was younger and followed Lea Salonga! One of the best voices I've ever listened to...plus she's on almost all Disney movies. lol.
Not too late. There are new breeds of Filipino talents that can be found here on UA-cam. Special mention would be that of Morissette Amon and KZ Tandingan. Enjoy.
An outdoor performance. Not only the humans listening...but birds, dogs, horses, etc., just wait for her to finish, then just look around at all of the other creatures and nod, "Yep, that's how it's done!" That's the magic of Lea!!!
I see we have jealous haters who gave her a thumbs down! Probably jealous because they can’t even sing… pathetic people can be! You are the worlds gift to music Lea!
Choosing to believe that the thumbs down are from those who didn't like the cutting away from Lea to show the orchestra. I wish they would have just kept those crossfades - where you could see Lea and the orchestra superimposed over each other at times - instead of cutting away from Lea completely.
I can only echo the accolades for Lea below. IMHO, hers is one of the finest voices on the planet. Still. Bravo. If you have not seen her cover of the song Take On Me on UA-cam, you should. It is amazing.
Proud kababayqn and fan here...didn' t know of these.performances of Lea until ive swwn in yt..thanks and many thanks..for me...i cant find any other Lea from our.local artists at present.. Filipinos is very blessed.to have.this Cebuana's pride... Dont know where.she's getting those angelic voices . Almost perfect !! Thank God Lea was born!
I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high and life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I prayed that God would be forgiving Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung, no wine untasted But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hopes apart And they turn your dreams to shame And still I dream he'd come to me That we would live the years together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms we cannot weather I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream, I dreamed
3:29 Sometimes when singing this song, I usually do this: Now life has killed the dream... I *literally takes it up the octave* dreeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEAEAAAAAAAAAMED(DAH)! just like Keala Settle does.
Lea is not just being a white woman when she is singing these songs. She is channeling a Beautiful White Woman in so much pain and yet still being beautiful, still ART.
Her voice has gotten more powerful and emotional than her 2007 performance.
She will be my Fantine of All Fantines and Eponine of All Eponines.
Too much vibrato and pitchy. Ruthie Henshal as Fantine is much better.

too much vibrato. strained ang pitch, masakit sa tengang pakinggan. .
@@baltazarmelchor451 hahha ang sipag mag comment oh 🤣🤣 tuloy mo lang yan🤣
@@baltazarmelchor451you can always watch other singers. No one’s forcing you to be here
Her voice has gotten even more powerful.
The precious, precious Jewel of the Philippines, that purity of her angelic voice .
I dream of watching her singing live 😭💔
Lyka Allship She is on tour now. Check out her website.

Me too! I'm kindda scared that, by the time I could afford it, it would be too late for me.

She is absolutely exceptional here! Her voice is as strong as ever; even stronger than when she was on Broadway! She is a force!
Gamay na gamay niya na yung kanta. Grabe, bihira lang yung ganito mag live. PITCH PERFECT! 🙌🏻
If I am part of the audience, I wont bring myself to clap. I might cry. that was a perfect performance
It is like i am listening to a disney character singing like this voice. So clean and powerful. That dynamics is wow!!!
Wow, I wish I would've been more into my filipino roots when I was younger and followed Lea Salonga! One of the best voices I've ever listened to...plus she's on almost all Disney movies. lol.

She has set the bar so high for the character she's played in different musicals especially Eponine.
I see Lea Salonga, I click, I watch, I cry...
People were busy at first, then her voice gets emotional, people sat down and listen. Lastly, standing ovations❤️❤️❤️
I Love Lea from my childhood up until now!!! Philippines pride and proud! 🤗😍❤️

A well-deserved standing ovation :)
PHENOMENAL AS ALWAYS
Thumbs down? Seriously?? This is a legend
Was this your first time on the internet?
Those healthy vibratos ♥️♥️
I love how they let the song ended before they started to clap and shout.

Strong personality. Strong Voice. Philippine proud.

Magnificent! Lea owned this song. She aged gracefully but her voice is just timeless.
She really owned the song.. she always delivered
arrghh shey so pretty and her voice is so solid!
I see we have jealous haters who gave her a thumbs down! Probably jealous because they can’t even sing… pathetic people can be! You are the worlds gift to music Lea!

❤
The original Disney Princess!
Her voice is clearer than my future 🥰
I just wish she will play Fantine again in upcoming 40th anniversary of Les Mis
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I prayed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
And they turn your dreams to shame
And still I dream he'd come to me
That we would live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream, I dreamed
😍
My Queen. ❤
🙀❤👏
How does the orchestra play this without crying? I can't watch it without crying.
I know!!! I just... GOHD I LOVE HER!
3:29 Sometimes when singing this song, I usually do this: Now life has killed the dream... I *literally takes it up the octave* dreeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEAEAAAAAAAAAMED(DAH)! just like Keala Settle does.

Who would dislike this??? Seriously u two... 🤔
Makahilak Kos imong performance grabe tusok SA bokok grabe excellent
Pls upload the reflection. Thank you very much.
damn that's nice angle
they use the movie version
Do you ever have her performance of Shallow?
haaa?
That stage is just not big enough.
3:46 :((
Is this recorded or live? Was trying to find her on stage but could only see the orchestra.
Bill Thomas it is live she's standing behind the conductor
@@junilmanagbanag4204 thanks for clarification
2:28 watch the person behind the conductor and the monitor, she puts her left hand on her tummy.
Thumbs up for Lea but a very big thumbs down for the Harp at 3:45.
Only trained ears will hear man! ;]
Lea is not just being a white woman when she is singing these songs. She is channeling a Beautiful White Woman in so much pain and yet still being beautiful, still ART.
I love Lea, but her choice of clothes (black) against a black ground isn’t flatting to the audience.... ( you can’t see her!)
Didn't pay to see her as her voice was enough she was flawless
Im just listening on lea's voice, thats it
Doesn’t seem right singing this in bright sunshine? Is it just me
just a very little bit interesting,,thats all they can say.
Lipsync 😂
Perfect opportunity to Rick roll
Wrong audience. Would not be appreciated. Just sayin'... 😉
hindi ko gusto, hindi maganda. Too much vibrato
