Hey thanks for the heart, I heart you too. If you want to know more about coach Bamboo check out his cover of 214 ua-cam.com/video/yOhcyDHiPlA/v-deo.html ,he also sings with faster tempo but I think this song shows his talents well. Keep up the good vids
She is a Disney's Legend my dear. She sung the A whole new world for Princess Jasmin and Reflection for Mulan. The only person to do the singing voices of 2 Disney Princess. She is a Philippines' treasure. She is known and admired worldwide as a theater and musical actress..
It's so cute to see a young man discover a living legend :-) You must watch Les Miserables (the musical play - not the movie) 10th Anniversary and 25th Anniversary concerts - available on youtube or dvd. This should also open you up to the entire broadway musical genre where you will be exposed to vocal talents unparalleled in the pop world - both male and female. This particular musical art requires perfect diction and projection, let alone acting, dancing, and singing prowess. There are way too many broadway legends to even mention here... but I am excited for you to begin this journey. Lea Salonga is a broadway legend in addition to a Disney legend as she is the only one to have been the voice of TWO Disney princesses, which many have already stated in the comments.
Lea is the only person I can think of who won a Tony, Olivier, Critics Circle, Drama Desk, and Theater World Award in a single season. She is indeed a legend.
SHE'S BEST ACTRESS IN WEST END (London) & BROADWAY (New York) IN THE MUSICAL "MISS SAIGON"! SHE'S A DISNEY PRINCESS TOO! She's the singing voice of princess jasmine in the original Alladin & also in Mulan.
Lea Salonga is a Broadway Royalty and Philippines national treasure. Les Miserables is one of the longest running musical on Broadway and West End history. She played both Eponine and Fantine in Les Miserables in New York production. She played the lead role of Kim in the original production of Miss Saigon in West End in London and won The Sir Olivier award for Best Actress in a musical. A year later, the producer brought the musical to New York and she again recreated the same role with much criticism because she is not a member of American Actors Equity as well as unknown being an Asian. But then she again won the Tony’s as Best Actress in a musical and the rest is history. You will need years to read and go through her achievements and accolades 😄
i don't know why but it satisfies me watching reacts for Lea's performances. im kind of feeling so proud and when other people who watched her make them want more of her performances like i do! she's sooooo amazing. a perfect example for everyone who wants to achieve a clear perfect pitch voice and super great theater acting of all time! such a wonderful gift from God! ❤😍😍😍😍
Lea Salonga is a class of her own. Her achievements is beyond compared than the other popular singers here in my country. She won Best Actress in Tony's in US, Olivier Awards in UK and numerous accolades.
Lea Salonga is the the worlds no1 musical theatre artist,the queen of broadway & the west end. She was the original miss saigon when only 18yrs.she is also the voice of many disney princesses(songs not txt) she is also the female voice in aladdin's a whole new world. She is probably the most famous singer in the philippines and is like the queen as she was the 1st person to leave the philippines & have great success all over the world so she has been the one to open the door for other filipino's. She is so so famous in the entertainment industry. I really love her voice,its amazing, but 4 weeks ago I saw her perform live for the 1st time,I was in shock. Her voice was so powerful & when she added vibrato I could feel my body shaking with the resonance. The only thing I could liken it to is if u've ever been to a really big gig, like U2 for instance & stood too close to the speakers,u can feel the music pounding through your body,my heart felt it was gonna burst out of my chest. If you ever have the chance you must see her live.she sings other genres,not just songs from musicals. She is a real pro,makes so hyang,morisette,katrina & regine look like they've only just started
@UCs-58STRfHneh0ytaUtzlSA sorry,didn't mean to sound degrading,far from it. I love all the singers I mentioned and so hyang is my favourite vocalist in the world. I probably tried to explain what meant incorrectly,I didn't mean to. I was just trying to emphasise just what a true professional she is,not that the others are not,but she is a little older,she started young & just has so many more years experience behind her & I think this shows,particularly in live performances. Hope this explains a little better the point I was trying to make,albeit badly. I would never speak badly of singers that I dont really like(musically,not personally) nevermind try & degrade singers that I love
The broadway star who grabbed both Tony and L. Olivier awards... she is our disney princess (Princess Jasmine of Aladdin) and Mulan.. react to her Don't Cry for Me Argentina
Thank you for reacting to this. Ms. Lea Salonga is the "Voice" that set the bar for Philippine female singers who want to break the international fold. Her voice is crystal clea. She is the voice of Mulan and Jasmine, as well as the original lead of Miss Saigon.
She is the original Jasmine voice of the film, A whole new world, a recepient of the most coveted " Tony Olivier Award", the star of " Miss Saigon", and many more.
SHE IS OUR BEST ACTRESS TONY AWARDEE IN THE 80'S FOR THE MUSICAL miss saigon, ASIDE FROM BEING A DISNEY PRINCESS SINGING VOICE OF BOTH MULAN & PRINCESS JASMINE OF ALADDIN.
She'a the legendary Lea Salonga, the original Miss Saigon, she received best actress awards for her musicals and ofcourse she's the original singing voice for Princess Jasmine's A Whole New World and Mulan's Reflection.
Oh my, I'm sure you've heard princess jasmine and Mulan in Disney cartoon singing voices. That's her. She's a legend of Disney and Broadway both in London, UK and New York, USA
She represent the Philippines with class internationally. There's a lot of people who can sing even belt but do you understand what they're talking about? She's known with a crystal clear perfect pitch voice. She knows how to enunciate words not just to scream that's why from so many Filipinos she's one of the few that's recognize internationally.
She is also a tony Award winner! She started singing at a very young age... you might want to watch her miss saigon audition... she has gone a long way from her Annie days performance in the Philippines! Had the great pleasure in watching her multiple times in Broadway, as expected she never disappointed me and she surely represented the Philippines with pride!
She was cast as Kim on the West End version of Ms. Saigon paved the way for other Filipino artists on international scene. She has won the Tony Award, the Laurence Olivier for the said play. Truly a Philippine treasure, THE Lea Salonga.
*You should hear her sing "I Dreamed A Dream" also from Les Miserables. So far, she is the only Asian from the Philippines to have played Eponine and later graduated to playing Fantine in said musical. The beauty of it is, SHE was handpicked by the proponents of the show.*
i think she is the original girl singer of A whole new world.... she is also the voice behind the song REFLECTION of MULAN....SHE sang so many original disney songs...try to watch some
Lea Salonga won a Tony Award in 1991 for Ms. Saigon where she was the lead actress in that West End and Broadway musical. She also won the Lawrence Olivier Award in London for the same musical. She is also the original singer of A Whole New World (as Princess Jasmine) in the Disney cartoon Aladdin in the 1990s, and also the original singer of Reflection in the Disney cartoon Mulan. She is a Philippine legendary singer and actress, a national treasure.😊
Les Miserables is one of the longest running musical on the West end and broadway. She even won a Tony award and so many more and can i just say she's a Disney legend.
She is a legend. Almost her entire life is music. She really have a formal lesson in music to a prominent school. The UP Conservatory of Music. Miss Leah Salonga ang Charise Pempengco were the only two Filipino singers been recognized and respected not only in Asia but in Europe and US. And maybe the next is morisette amon following their footsteps.
She has 2 of the most prestigious award in musical theatre the Sir Lawrence Olivier award for best actree in s musical in London's west end for Miss Saigon and A Tony award for Best actress in a musical for Miss Saigon on Broadway. Also the voice of Princess Jasmin form Aladdin and Mulan also a Disney princess. Starred on numerous Philippine films and on Days of our lives on American TV(NBC). One of our most revered talents in the Philippines with world wide fame. Her first musical was the lead in Annie when she was 8 years old at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Other roles was Eponeme in Les Miserable also on Broadway, New York City. Her awards are numerous. Google her. You will be amazed how talented she is.
LEA IS AN ICON!!! SHE MADE THE PHILIPPINES PROUD!! TIMELESS TALENT AND BEAUTY!! SHE WAS MARVELOUS IN THE MUSICAL MISS SAIGON IN HER LEAD PART!! THANK YOU DAN!
Dan's face at 4:30 when Lea turned on the power. I've just been binge-watching first-reaction videos and it has the same effect on everybody. And yes, they all get chills. I've seen this concert before and it still gives me chills.
She made princess Yasmin in Aladdin and also Mulan if I'm not mistaken! Les Miserables is a great musical and she is an amazing singer, her voice is completely fit for Musical Theater! Please react to Steven Tyler!
This video is truly a precious gem.What I mean is a lot of us watch videos of Lea Salonga knowing fully well what she can do with her voice so we are coming from a place of certain expectation of what we know about her voice.It's refreshing witnessing someone who has never heard of her,reacting and enjoying her voice as much as we always have .Truly appreciate it.Thank you 🌻.
I have always loved the way theatre performers act oblivious to the applause after a number and just stay in character. This concert was full of top notch talent. Philip Quast will give you goosebumps performing Stars in this show. It had a few originals from the London cast. I believe Philip Quast was the second Javert behind Roger Allam. Of course what is there left to say about Colm Wilkinson, outstanding...…. Good stuff!
Lea Salonga is one of the Philippines pride because of her contribution ni music industry here she has alot of nomination in Tony Award The Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Broadway Theatre its like Emmy Award or Oscar awards
The Guy coach is Bamboo, a Rockstar Performer Dear Dan.. Pls check his Songs especially the "NOYPI". Get ready to Rock N Roll. 😍 By the way Awesome Reactions, love it.. you're discovering a lot of Filipino talents. ❤💪👌
Great reactions & comments. Lea is one of a Kind. The first Asian Tony Awardee, Sir Lawrence Olivier & Many other International awards. Pls. react to her version of Don't Cry for Me Argentina, Thanks Dan
She was a theatrical singer at the age of 4...a young host too. She got famous when she bagged the Miss Saigon role...then next was history. The theme song from movie Mulan is hers
Thumbs up! Dan, thank you and i loved you featured her. She is the only Filipina who won 2 besf actress award at hollywood oscar and etc...and only pure filipina who qualified theatrically sang with powerful intelligence. and worked at hollywood for so long time...and nobody else.
Maria Lea Carmen Imutan Salonga, OL, (/ˈleɪə səˈlɒŋɡə/; born February 22, 1971) is a Filipina singer and actress, best known for her roles in musical theatre, for supplying the singing voices of two Disney Princesses, and as a recording artist and television performer. At age 18, she originated the lead role of Kim in the musical Miss Saigon, first in the West End and then on Broadway, winning the Olivier and Theatre World Awards, and becoming the first Asian woman to win a Tony Award. Salonga is the first Filipino artist to sign with an international record label (Atlantic Records in 1993).
I can only name a few theatre musical legends who swept/GRAND SLAM all the awards in a musical for leading actress in a role for (Miss Saigon) in one season. Tony, Olivier, Drama Desk, Critics Circle and one of the most difficult to claim for someone who's going to debut in a musical(BROADWAY) which is theater world..and she is one of those few who can claim that GRAND SLAM QUEEN. An Oscar awardee for a whole new world aladdin. DISNEY legend singing voice for (Princess Jasmine and Mulan). A GRAMMY nominee for Once on this island (Human heart) . And she is an A-lister diva be it Broadway or West End.
She was the first Asian to won Tony's Award fot the musical Miss Saigon. She was the singing voice of 2 disney princeses, Jasmine and Mulan. She also starred in Les Miserables for the second time in its 25th anniversary concert. She's not only known in the Philippines but in the whole world
Please react Lea Salonga Sings A Whole New World. Also react Lea Salonga Standing Ovation on a British Audience in London..thanks Lea Salonga is Actress in A Miss Saigon
Lea is a broadway and disney diva, she was one of the first asians to play the roles of Fantine and Éponine in the musical Les Misérables. She also provided the singing voice of two Disney Princesses, the first one being Jasmine in Aladdin (1992) and the second being Fa Mulan in the two Mulan movies. You should react to her video a Whole New World (after 23 years) -> ua-cam.com/video/8g75PViIRtM/v-deo.html p.s she’s a tony awardee.
She’s a world class performer, acclaimed and respected in the stage industry like Broadway and West End. I’m surprised someone would criticize her voice. Please google search first before you react. Sarah Geronimo is a Philippine performer; she’s a star there who hasn’t achieved as much nor traveled around the world to perform on stage and in concerts as Lea. You can’t compare the two.
I'm leaving this comment not for the video creator because I'm sure he already knows by now, but for those coming here to watch the video. Salonga is now in her 50s, like me, and she started her career in Broadway when she played the role of Kim in "Miss Saigon," a role that she was cast in when she was 17, 18, and for which she won a Tony.
this song has a part in my life! i still remember, way back, august 2005, i was 21y.o. back then. my grandfather died. i really2 love my grandpa. and i always sing this song in a videoke machine after his death and it really brought me to tears because of the message of the song..
She is the original KIM in Miss Saigon, the original singing voice of JASMIN in A Whole New World and MULAN. The best actress in broadway and west end. The Oscar awardee. Still making it big everywhere in musical theaters until now. A Philippine gem. She's one of the few actress to star on Les Miserables on two different roles in different generation. She was Eponine here. React to her performance of I Dreamed a Dream when she got older and you will be more amazed.
She was the best actress in a lead role of Miss Saigon in broadway , the Tony Awards, the “Oscars” of broadway, and Lawrence, Awards in West End. These are the highest awards.

I have to disagree. SoHyang is an amazing Legend and Vocalist.
@@gustavooliveira4694beg to disagree. Sohyang is no near Leah. No, far from it. She even lacks the versality and the range of Morissette Amon.
I'm not even a Filipino but if you don't know who Lea Salonga is, your musical career is nothing but a clout.
Actually really surprised cause this is the first “reaction video” that i watched where the “reactor” doesnt have an idea who Lea is lol
Hahaha agree
Maybe he hasn't seen Alladin and Mulan.
Love you man. Agree
Agree! Has he been living under a rock? This is somewhat offending actually.

I have always loved the way theatre performers act oblivious to the applause after a number and just stay in character. This concert was full of top notch talent. Philip Quast will give you goosebumps performing Stars in this show. It had a few originals from the London cast. I believe Philip Quast was the second Javert behind Roger Allam. Of course what is there left to say about Colm Wilkinson, outstanding...…. Good stuff!
Lea Salonga is one of the Philippines pride because of her contribution ni music industry here she has alot of nomination in Tony Award The Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Broadway Theatre its like Emmy Award or Oscar awards

She won an Tony Award Best Actress in a musical for Miss Saigon , as well an Olivier award. The only one in all Asia or at least the very first one
I can only name a few theatre musical legends who swept/GRAND SLAM all the awards in a musical for leading actress in a role for (Miss Saigon) in one season. Tony, Olivier, Drama Desk, Critics Circle and one of the most difficult to claim for someone who's going to debut in a musical(BROADWAY) which is theater world..and she is one of those few who can claim that GRAND SLAM QUEEN. An Oscar awardee for a whole new world aladdin. DISNEY legend singing voice for (Princess Jasmine and Mulan). A GRAMMY nominee for Once on this island (Human heart) . And she is an A-lister diva be it Broadway or West End.
Kindly check out Lea Salonga and Micheal Ball " A Little Fall of Rain" same play Les Mis. Thank you.
Yeah, that was .....WoW!
you should watch lea’s ‘a little fall of rain’ from the same anniversary concert of les mis, it’s haunting
the voice now and then is still that same crystal clear golden voice leah's blessed with...
She is a miss saigon and a broadway singer... A legend from the Philippines.. The voice behind alladin "A whole new world"and Mulan "Reflection".
She was the first Asian to won Tony's Award fot the musical Miss Saigon. She was the singing voice of 2 disney princeses, Jasmine and Mulan. She also starred in Les Miserables for the second time in its 25th anniversary concert. She's not only known in the Philippines but in the whole world
Please react Lea Salonga Sings A Whole New World.
Also react Lea Salonga Standing Ovation on a British Audience in London..thanks Lea Salonga is Actress in A Miss Saigon
She is MARVELOUS, indeed!!! The Legendary, Lea Salonga!!! Better look for other videos too. She's amazing!!!
#Dan Alexandrov... she is a mezzo soprano. definitely have power in her voice
Lea is a broadway and disney diva, she was one of the first asians to play the roles of Fantine and Éponine in the musical Les Misérables. She also provided the singing voice of two Disney Princesses, the first one being Jasmine in Aladdin (1992) and the second being Fa Mulan in the two Mulan movies. You should react to her video a Whole New World (after 23 years) -> ua-cam.com/video/8g75PViIRtM/v-deo.html
p.s she’s a tony awardee.
She’s a world class performer, acclaimed and respected in the stage industry like Broadway and West End. I’m surprised someone would criticize her voice. Please google search first before you react.
Sarah Geronimo is a Philippine performer; she’s a star there who hasn’t achieved as much nor traveled around the world to perform on stage and in concerts as Lea. You can’t compare the two.
Lea is the very first Asian music artist to win the Tony's and Olivier's award - such very prestigious award-giving body for music in the UK.
I saw Lea started singing in musical theater production of Annie at an early age of 7 or 8 years old.
I'm leaving this comment not for the video creator because I'm sure he already knows by now, but for those coming here to watch the video. Salonga is now in her 50s, like me, and she started her career in Broadway when she played the role of Kim in "Miss Saigon," a role that she was cast in when she was 17, 18, and for which she won a Tony.
Watch her "don't cry for me argentina" pleaseeeee
Better to have discovered greatness the to have not. Keep up your discovery as you stumbled upon one of the world's greatest talents!
My #1 Lea Salonga, ❤🙏🏻
This IS the definitive performance of this song that all other performances are measured by!!
And it’s from 1995. The 10th Anniversary Concert
yey! thank you for noticing my recommendation 🥰
this song has a part in my life! i still remember, way back, august 2005, i was 21y.o. back then. my grandfather died. i really2 love my grandpa. and i always sing this song in a videoke machine after his death and it really brought me to tears because of the message of the song..
She is the original KIM in Miss Saigon, the original singing voice of JASMIN in A Whole New World and MULAN. The best actress in broadway and west end. The Oscar awardee. Still making it big everywhere in musical theaters until now. A Philippine gem. She's one of the few actress to star on Les Miserables on two different roles in different generation. She was Eponine here. React to her performance of I Dreamed a Dream when she got older and you will be more amazed.
She was the best actress in a lead role of Miss Saigon in broadway , the Tony Awards, the “Oscars” of broadway, and Lawrence, Awards in West End. These are the highest awards.
