- from the broadway concert..
enjoy!
Long ago, In someone else's lifetime
Someone with my name
Who looked a lot like me
Came to know
A man and made a promise
He only had to say
And that's where she would be
Lately although the feelings
Run just as deep, the promise she made
Has grown impossible to keep
And yet I wish it wasn't so
Will he miss me if I go?
In a way, It's someone else's story
I don't see myself
As taking part at all
Yesterday, A girl that I was fond of
Finally could see
The writing on the wall
Sadly, she realized she'd left him behind
And sadder than that
She knew he wouldn't even mind
And though there's nothing left to say
Would he listen if I stay?
It's all very well to say
You fool it's now or never
I could be choosing
No choices whatsoever.
I could be in someone else's story
In someone else's life
And he could be in mine
I don't see a reason to be lonely
I could take my chances
Further down the line
And if that girl I know
Should ask my advice
Oh I wouldn't hesitate she
Needn't ask me twice
Go now!
I'd tell him that for free
Trouble is, the girl is me
The story is, the girl is me.

![Lea Salonga - On My Own (Les Misérables) [720p]](/img/n.gif)
I wish people would stop comparing all these wonderful singers! They each bring something unique to the song and each perform it beautifully
I love all her performances; the music, the voice, the soul/emotions are all there.
She is truly a multi-talented singer/stage performer/actress etc. Don't forget she won a Laurence Olivier Award as Best Actress in London, England and won a Tony Best Actress Award for her performance in Miss Saigon. She is UP THERE.
YES SHE IS
She is fantastic!!! I love the clarity and perfectly timed vibrato
Lea's voice is absolutely flawless-- love her singing one of my favorite Mezzo Soprano showtunes of all time! Beautiful...
One of the loveliest versions of this song I've ever heard.
after not hearing this song for like 4 years it's just that much more powerful and beautful
Oh, man. Her belting is just so ridiculously natural and flawless!!! I have voice envy. Love her!!!!
Lea Salonga is such a wonderful singer; in the 10th anniversery of Les Mis - she is simply stunning as Eponine..
this song is beautiful in her voice, now I really want to sing it too! =P
This is from the musical Chess. A great Cold War/star-crossed lovers story and some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard in a Broadway play. It no longer runs and is hard to find videos of, but you can read the synopsis on Wikipedia. The music was so popular when the play debuted that some of the songs topped the billboard charts. You might end up recognizing some other songs.
I love her so much! She has the kind of voice that would really fit a Disney Princess (see Mulan). I love Lea!
I've just seen this today (I know I'm too late 😅) And was astounded with her rendition 💯. Watching this while peacefully having breakfast was a TERRIBLE idea, I ended up SOBBING instead 😂.
So for those who read the comments first before watching, YOU'RE WARNED 😂. She'll surely dig up the wanted/unwanted emotions within you (which is a good thing).
That's just show how heavenly/magnificent performer she is. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 to this wonderful human.
seen it hundreds times, still love it
i love you lea, youre the best singer for me...
US TOO
i am so touched by this song and its rendition. bravo!
I love this performance but Helen Sjöholm's version (the Swedish one) is just incredible. I love that even though I don't understand the words haha This one from Lea is great too
i was in the crowd here...lea is truly one talented Filipino artist!
Lea is amazing, what a voice!
According to music critics, if Lea sings a song, you can say THAT THE SONG HAS BEEN SUNG!
I Love how she feels the songs she sings-beautiful!
she really sings w/ emotion, very pretty voice to go with it too.
... whoa. that's absolutely stunning.
why do i have shivers? ... oh yeah!! its cuz she's amazing!
I am so moved by this perfect performance !
Beautiful song sung by the beautiful Lea. Thanks for sharing.
Brava! I remember seeing Lea in Miss Saigon in London back in '89 - if anything her voice has matured. A very talented lady, still very pretty too.
love it...wwwoooooowwww.. .catharsis
one of the few people who look better older, she's stunning all grown up now
i love how she sings it....i picked this song for my solo and ensomble piece cuz it's such a beautiful song and the lyrics are beautiful as well :]
So...how'd the solo go? :)
there's no emotion in her voice... great voice, but all the emotion is in her physical actions... there's power in her voice, but no pain, no hurt or passion
love this song makes me cry from chess lea dows amazing job as always so calm relaxing thx lea keep them coming we big fans
THX FOR HEART JEAN PAUL REYES MADE OUR DAY ALSO CHECK OUT JEKYL AND HYDE SHOW BROADWAY AND SOUNDTRACK GREAT MUSIC
...i wish i can hear you sing in person! i love all your songs ...you are my fave singer of all time! ... luv u LEA!!! i'm so proud of you...
Riveting and magnificent. Truly Splendid
I wish I had a quarter of Lea Salonga's talent.
simple perfection.
Very beautiful rendition. Amazing.
I just put this in a Broadway review and had the leading man sing it- about the other leading man- it was beautiful and wove a secret to the show- which the audience was in on....made the leading lady's songs all that more tragic- cause we knew the he she loved was in love with the other he.....hot.
Gorgeous, stunning, a true class act! BRAVO!
This is unbeliveable and she looks so gorgeous!
you're dead wrong on your last statement. it is in fact the opposite. lea is well-known in the theater world as having this angelic,crystal-clear , full-tone voice thats a pleasure to listen to. she's a broadway elite & have quite an impressive body of work to her credit. she's even a disney princess twice over if u know what i mean.
Does it get ANY better then this ???
DDR
Pocohantas, Mulan, Jasmine, Princess ???? She just sings like an Angel
for me leah did an amazing job here. relaying the best emotions for this song. and she dont need to exaggerate the emotions just to please the audience
lea is really good!
very PERFECT! BRAVO! Pride of FILIPINO!
AMAZING.
world class!
There is a concert version from 2008 that is definitely worth seeing.
Love Lea. No one ever holds "twice" for 3 counts as written. I'm in a quibbling mood. :]
great voice, great interpretation
bravo Lea from italyl
Love this song.
Don't get me wrong, I love Kerry Ellis' version as well, but Lea Salonga simply ROCKS MY SOCKS OFF!!!!! She's so great!!!!
what a voice!
TH-cam her singing "I'd Give my Life for You" from MISS SAIGON. Looks for a stage version.. its from over 20 years ago.
This is the best rendition I've heard of this song. Bravo, Salonga!
A soubrette voice is light, with a bright, sweet timbre and the term can also refer to a soprano voice type. However, many young singers start out as soubrettes and then as they age, their voice becomes more develop and they can be classified into another voice type. They could be a light lyric soprano or a lyric coloratura soprano.
Singing this my music coursework.... wish I could sing it anywhere near as well as her!
she's very amazing, that's why I love leah! ü
whoa. def my fave performance of this song so far. im auditioning for eponine from les mis in my theatre companys production of it this spring, and im using someone elses story as my audition song. its been hard to try to get down the right facial expressions when singing the song, but im gunna study off of this video and steal a bit of technique from salonga. she does it perfectly imo. :)
I love her facial expressions...so entertaining
A true Angel Voice
I love Lea Salonga.
She does go sharp, but very briefly (for about a second), before she hits the note proper. I was specifically listening for it (as I read this comment before she got to the end of the song), but it really is a minor wobble!
Gyönyörű.....beautiful Üdv. Feri.
Perfect rendition
i love the meaning of the song
Oooooooh, okay. I don't know my Disney princesses! Ha. No matter what though, I love Lea.
There will be those who are born with voices better than Lea's, but theirs always lack Lea's ability to tell a story through her singing. I love her distinct crystal-clear voice and how it gives me goosebumps. My highest respect to this woman.
US TOO
just beautifully sung....
cool song!
Amazing! Way better than EVERYONE who ever played this part in the musical.
Absolutely maganda - the woman and song.
A DVD... Lea Salonga...The Broadway Concert...Shot in the Philippines... You might be able to find one on Amazon
Nicely done *clappity clap clap* Love that song, favorite from Chess. Easy pick, but sometimes the right choice is easy to see.
@ocanna92. Tiny bit sharp sharp not flat and her voice show vulnerability at the end. She's wonderful.
Oh Benny and Bjour, you guys are geniuses.
I love her in Cinderella (Shanghai Stage)
i really like this song. i so can relate to it. bravo lea! :)
although a lot of singers have sung this song with their beautiful voices this is so far the most soulfull! so expressive! she didn't just sang the song, she became the character in the musical.
lea's rendition of this song is the best....the best
oh dear she went sharp on the last note for a sec there! =O
and just so you know, she's also behind the singing voices of two Disney classics..MULAN and ALADDIN..
AND SHE SINGS POCAHONTAS AND LES MIS AND ANNIE AND MISS SAIGON AND FLOWER DRUM SONGS
no problem! :) ye im from sweden.. she is famous here yes.. check out all of the vids of her here. some are quite recent! :)
Very difficult song to carry from Chess.. both in range and in emotion. Well done by Ms. Salonga@
What do you mean? Lea Salonga is a tony award winning actress from Broadway and West End. She's most known for originating the role of Kim from Miss Saigon. Why do you think she has no experience in musical theater?
The song is from the musical "Chess". It's written by Björn Ulveaus, Benny Andersson and Tim Rice ;)
i wish i was her. wow.
wow ! i love this!!! thanks!!!
@doobeedoo58 Thank you for putting me in the same league as Lea. Although she is my age, I consider her to be a huge influence on my interpretation of Broadway librettos. I'm not sure I could even carry that lady's bags, but I thank you for the compliment :) the video of my Miss America performance is posted on my TH-cam Channel....it is not my favorite rendition, but it is the one most remember.
@ovitatirac i agree with you!!!!! lea is just marvelous......
I would listen to Lea sing the phone book.
Backwards.
woah
does anyone have the clip of Elizabeth Simmons, Miss Oregon 1993, singing this at the Miss America Pageant...now she nailed it and could give Lea a run for her money. Liz was the 3rd Runner up I believe...Hope that clip does surface.
I love Lea, and her voice is perfect, but there isn't enough pain in her interpretation of this song.
@annief31 actually in this version, Lea did have a bit of problem staying on pitch (that C#) and Liz was very much on pitch during her performance. Granted Lea my be a great broadway performer and actor, but she does have a bit of trouble staying on pitch during her singing...
SUTTON FOSTER !
I can see her playing Elphaba.
I think Lea Salonga is an exquisite performer, but I have to agree with douchehater on this one. This is a showcase performance, not a characterization. Not that it always has to be, but for me it's what makes it interesting.
This is almost Amy Grant caliber!!!!
geee...nice!
oh you're right, she would make a wonderful elphaba
i sang this in 6th grade!! OMJ!
This song begins in the key of F# and transitions to G major as originally written
omgosh yeah kerry ellis is AWESOME :)
No, Pocohantas was sung by Judy Kuhn. Lea sung Jasmine and Mulan.
