@@gottalovenewyork212Agreed. All the performances from the Miscast Gala were terrific, but Lea’s is the one that I could listen to on repeat. So beautiful and soothing!

When a Filipino sings, you will really feel it from the heart.

I don’t know how anyone doesn’t smile and have a warm feeling listening to this. Either Lea is a voice of your childhood/younger life from her Disney Princess characters (singing voice of Jasmine and Mulan), or you recognize her voice from her Broadway and concert credits (MISS SAIGON and LES MIZ), or this song makes you think of childhood.

[@gottalovenewyork212]

And the choice of this song too! Totally a childhood flashback

[@shirleysevilla6436]

I have never missed a class during my elementary school years except on the final showing day of The Sound of Music. My mum literally have to drag me and my younger sister to a nearby cinema to watched it because of Julie Andrews. I hated it at first because it was too crowded and we could not see. Eventually, when spaces came up, it was the most amazing experience my sister and I ever had. ..and we got to watch it twice too!😂❤

[@shirleysevilla6436]

Oh, I’m from the Philippines and back then, you can stay inside the cinema and watch a film the whole day without paying extra…or got kicked out.

[@gottalovenewyork212]

Amazing story, thanks for sharing

[@gottalovenewyork212]

That sounds like a lot of fun!

[@user-qd2tq8yi8o]

I love the song, ilove the movie and love Lea the most. Thank you.

[@gottalovenewyork212]

Lea made the song even more special

[@coma144]
