Your comments are spot on. She is an amazing singer who enunciates lyrics very clearly. Her voice is beautiful and she has great control of her voice. I enjoyed your reaction. Hope you get to watch more of her performances.
Don't Cry for Me Argentina is a song in tribute to Evita Peron, the first lady of Argentina, wife to its president Juan Domingo Peron. Evita was widely loved by the working masses due to her concern and love for them. She died of cancer in 1952 and prior to her death she asked Argentinians not to cry in her death.
Lea has had a career spanning 40 years in musical theater. The voice of Princess Jasmine and Mulan. She is internationally acclaimed and is one of the best theatre vocalists of all time.
This song was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Sir Tim Rice for the musical Evita. Lea Solanga here sings the best rendition ever on TH-cam. Marvellous voice.
Her name is pronounced LAY-uh. Lea was born Feb 22, 1971 in the Philippines and has lived most of her life there (and currently resides there). She started her career at age 7 as a kid on stage in the musical THE KING AND I. Lea played her first lead role on stage in the musical ANNIE at age 9. She released her first album (which certified gold) at age 10. Between ages 7-17 Lea did theater, film, tv (including hosting a musical tv show with her brother when she was 12-14), albums and concerts. Lea was in her first year of college (age 17) studying pre-med when she auditioned for the musical MISS SAIGON. She originated the lead role in the West End at age 18 and originated the role on Broadway at age 20, winning all the major theater awards for her portrayals. Lea is the singing voice for 2 Disney princesses (the only woman with that distinction): Jasmine ("A Whole New World") and Mulan ("Reflection"). She was the first Asian woman to play Eponine in LES MISERABLES on Broadway in 1993 and was asked to play Eponine in the 10th Anniversary Dream Cast concert of LES MISERABLES in 1995. There are many more credits and accomplishments, but I won't get into all of them here. The song "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" is from the musical EVITA about the life of Eva Peron. I highly recommend that you go down the Lea Salonga rabbit hole and watch more of her performances! Just *some* of my faves that I know you'd enjoy: --Lea Salonga rehearsing "Still Hurting" for her Back To Before concert at The Allen Room, Jazz at Lincoln Center in 2013: th-cam.com/video/xSYtZRMFozc/w-d-xo.html --Lea (age 17) at her callback for MISS SAIGON. She initially auditioned with the song "On My Own" from LES MISERABLES. At this callback she is being taught some songs from MISS SAIGON for the first time: th-cam.com/video/sy-A-wyzj7c/w-d-xo.html --Discussing the first recording session of "A Whole New World" for "Aladdin" as well as a full recording by Lea and Brad Kane: th-cam.com/video/pi_Ocd9IALc/w-d-xo.html --Lea Salonga and Brad Kane - "A Whole New World" 23 years later: th-cam.com/video/TKzztvJeQjw/w-d-xo.html --Lea singing "On My Own" from LES MISERABLES 10th Anniversary Dream Cast Concert in 1995: th-cam.com/video/VjfmP7h3gBw/w-d-xo.html. --Lea singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from LES MISERABLES 25th Anniversary concert (2010): th-cam.com/video/wHdtwKCGzZU/w-d-xo.html. I think Lea is the only person to play a leading role (different ones) in both the 10th and 25th anniversary concerts of LES MIZ. --Lea and Rachelle Ann Go singing "Movie In My Mind" for the 25th anniversary gala of MISS SAIGON (London 2014): th-cam.com/video/bWys8rQ8EXI/w-d-xo.html. Rachelle Ann Go is a Filipina performer who has done a lot of musical theater in the Philippines and was in the West End and Broadway revivals of MISS SAIGON. --Lea and Josh Groban sing "The Prayer" during his concert in Manila 2019. (Lea had broken her leg the month before and cancelled most of her upcoming engagements, but since this was something short and didn't require travel out of the country, she kept this appearance. She is sitting in a wheelchair for this duet.): th-cam.com/video/nqqjDr9KD1M/w-d-xo.html
