    The most beautiful voice I've ever heard is still from a young Lea Salonga.

    • @DM-cu5hp
      @DM-cu5hp 4 роки тому +63

      I know what you mean! She still sounds wonderful, but as she got older, her voice became more operatic with maturity. At this point in her life, her tone was so light without any vibrato required at all. Her notes drifted into the air with wings of the most purely sustained notes.

      @@Dan-gi6tf I'm pretty sure this was a performance for a talk show. There were interviews with Lea, Jonathan Pryce, and also the writers Boublil and Schoenberg. I want to say it might have been Lea's first time on a British talk show. (Of course, Lea had been on TV many times in the Philippines before this and even hosted her own musical tv show from ages 12-14 with her younger brother.)

    There's a certain tenderness here that you don't see with the other versions of Lea and varying Chrises ... not that they aren't good, just different. Other versions are more playful, others still more passionate, but I really like how this one is glowing with a quiet sort of tender affection. Bravo to both Ms. Salonga and Mr. Bowman!

      You mean 'other versions of Kim'? Anyway, they didn't perform it like this on the stage, because you really have to speak/sing up in order for the nosebleed seats to hear you. This interpretation was for the benefit of television, which is a more intimate medium. Same with movies.

      @MariaKat-rs8ll 8 місяців тому

      The most people can do with this role is to articulate it for the art and meaning. To understand dedication and control! And most of all to have fun!
      But I doubt that any Kim even in previous years ever had to feel jealousy, as I think they all did wonderful in their own ways, in all fairness. Musicians are athletes too, ahah!
      Lea is definitely one that stood out like a star, as she was chosen right away for this role after the Miss Saigon's production team had travelled to Hawaii, New York, Taiwan, and Philippines to find their Kim and everyone who played Kim knows that 🤍

I always have goosebumps and become teary each time I see clips of Ms Saigon. How I wish I had the money then to be able to see it in its Manila run. Thanks yt for being there. At least I've seen many parts of the play thru socmed.

    @anamorphosys85 2 роки тому +104

    Lea Salonga is phenomenal here but so is Simon Bowman. And I have nothing but the deepest respect for him for being a gentleman towards her and her mother because of Lea's anxiety of doing the love scenes with him without having had the experience of love. Lea always talks in interviews that he felt her reservations and assured her and her mother that he will take care of her and not take advantage of her. That's why after so many years their mutual friendship has always been special to the both of them. And as for many, I prefer their depicition of Kim's and Chris' romance as being innocent and pure, as being reflected in their friendship in real life. 🥰

    • @microsp20lect28
      @microsp20lect28 2 роки тому +18

      anamorphosys85 Yes, I agree! All I can say is that Simon Bowman is a brilliant actor and a true British gentleman. Lea was 18 and Simon was 28 when Miss Saigon was played in 1989. Lea comes from a very protected/sheltered background thus never had any intimate relationship with anyone, never been kissed by a bloke as Simon stated/posted on his website. I can understand and imagine Lea's anxiety and I am sure it took quite a lot of convincing and reassurance to both mother and daughter that this is only an act. Despite of this being an act, it takes my breath away everytime their lips touch. I can feel the innocence, purity, tenderness, true love that both of them portrayed in their given roles. The undeniable fact here is that Simon Bowman was and always will be Lea's first kiss in life.

    I don't know how many times I hit replay for the past few months of being addicted to this song. I love you Lea. "Reflection" from Mulan was my puberty and self esteem boosting song. It literally changed my life. I didn't even know that a fellow Filipina was the voice behind that soul stirring song. I think all 90's kids with self esteem issues relate to that song in a very emotional way. I am not a fan of classical songs but you Lea indpired me to appreciate classical songs. Your voice is sweet, gentle and heavenly. There have been other versions with more powerful voices but your performance is really magical.

Very special show for me as is the other blockbuster musical by Schoenberg and Bubil Les Miserable.

    Re-watching this clip still put me right back to the wonder and magic of discovering it from new. And young Lea Salonga! What a dish, and what a voice. There's something about the sweet innocence and slight underdevelopment of her voice that is so ephemeral, and suits Kim so.

    I'm from a world that's so different
    From all that you are
    How in the light of one night
    Did we come so far?
    [KIM]
    Outside day starts to dawn
    [CHRIS]
    Your moon still floats on high
    [KIM]
    The birds awake
    [CHRIS]
    The stars shine too
    [KIM]
    My hands still shake
    [CHRIS]
    I reach for you
    [BOTH]
    And we meet in the sky!
    [KIM]
    You are sunlight and I moon
    Joined here
    Bright'ning the sky
    With the flame
    Of love
    [BOTH]
    Made of
    Sunlight
    Moonlight

    aaaaaaw when they smooch at the end, did anyone else think - 'how adorable' - cos they didn't really need to y'know? they weren't actually doing the full sow just a little snippet to introduce ti to Wogan's audience and yet they still did the last kiss... LUSH!
    This song is one of my favourites EVER!

    Being in Australia, I've only ever seen Peter Cousins do the role of Chris and I am amazed. These two are amazing. It makes my hair stand on end (as I keep saying).
