@@kelsan5633 I'm so sorry but then what counts as a singer? Someone who you can barely understand? This is how trained singers sing, you're supposed to make sure every word is heard clearly. Especially for musical theatre WHICH IS HER ENTIRE CAREER. Please let us hear you sing.
In my opinion since she's such a Broadway legend, shoot she can be a diva all she wants! LOL 😂 it's just amazing that she doesn't act like a diva when she's got the voice of one!
Waaa your ears would clean itself by listening to Lea!Btw, I also made a cover on this 'cause she's my inspiration. I hope you could visit that vid on my youtube channel. I feel frightened on stage but I am more confident in front of camera (of course alone in my room XD)
This is what happens when you use the correct vocal techniques in singing. It shows that she is trained the classical way. Many pop stars and diva icons can't sing after years of ruining their voice because they're trained to reach those money notes even though their voice type is not suitable to do particular songs. Sadly, in the mainstream industry, we are surrounded by soprano and tenor songs, and most people don't appreciate the other voice types.
Excellent Technique, Superb Interpretation and Vocal Timbre that's divine. So what if she didn't belt it out? The woman is an intelligent singer...not some unknown amateur trying to impress the masses at a singing contest.
No responsible sonwriter should write a song to be belted up to an F and expect their lead singers to still have a voice after a six month run. You may not like this rendition, and I respect that, but the problem with a popsicle is that pop music vocals lack nuance and make up for it in shouting, to the detriment of the singer. I stand by my statement that Lea Salonga still has a voice because she hasnt succumbed to this.
Very classy! She sang the song with so much heart, class and did not exaggerated and did not oversing it, she sang the song as if she is the character that the song portrays, she becomes the song and only few artists can do it. Very expensive and emotional broadway voice. Very talented and intelligent singer. A legend no wonder she received multiple awards like Tonys. God bless.

What makes Lea so successful in her career is she takes care of her instrument, and knows her limits. I watched an interview she did where she said she hadn't and probably wouldn't sing this song because it's out of her singing range. She however did mention that whatever songs that she does choose to perform, she rearranges it to fit within her vocal range. She obviously did that here because she said that she couldn't sing it in Idina's range. Very smart performer!
Filipino fans are hard to please and Songs like this are sang by other filipino singers better. Eventhough many singers are sprawling everyday, nobody can match this national artist. I admire Ms. Salonga's charisma and talent. You deserve another Tony's!
I saw her in Glasgow and I have to say I loved her singing from start to finish, and her audience interaction is amazing. She would share stories with us and it really felt we were knowing her as a person and not just a singer. I've loved her since the 10th anniversary show of Les Misérables and have enjoyed the singing she did for Mulan and Aladdin. Incredible singer and an incredible woman.
What a first class pro! Great voice, technique, and gracious performer. Young people take note: this is how you succeed. Hard work, dedication and the golden rule makes for a great life. God Bless Her!
I’ve been her fan since I was young. I first saw her on TV as an actress but later I learned that she went abroad to do Ms Saigon. It always amazes me whenever I see and listen to her sing. I hope that someday I could get to see her in person. 🌺
I'm not familiar to this song until SB19 Stell sang this on their concert. Happy to see that Ms. Lea has sang this too. Superb performance! And can't help myself to be super proud to my bias as well. Whew! 👏
I PREFER LEA'S VERSION THAN OF IDINA MENZEL. Lea focuses on clarity and precision of notes, not just belting like idina. Lea makes it classy and broadway worthy, pleasant to the ear yet doesnt shun away too much from the original key. BRAVA
will always love her and her voice😍 i saw quite a few negative comments below but her heart was in the song and if they wanted a perfect rendition then they might as well just listen to the artist they deemed as “better”🤷🏻♀️ i’m here to appreciate LEA cause she was, she is, and she will always be a broadway LEGEND✨ and a total concert performer!
naiiyak ako habang binabasa ko kung paano si lea iadmire ng mga fans nya. kasi sobrang tama sila lahat 😭 now im one of them, been watching her vids lately at grabe nakakaadik, nakakainspire 💓 habang pinapanood ko sya iniisip ko matututunan ko din techniques nya sa singing someday. lalo ako naiinspire each time na napapanood ko sya, lalo ako ginaganahan na mas magimprove pa. Thank you Ms. Lea Salonga! thank you so so much! 💕

It’s not about belting to get to the high notes. The story around this song revolves around angst. This song is not meant to be sung calmly. It’s supposed to be sung with angst and belting is one way to get that emotion out.

When she sings you dont need any sub or captions she sings clearly that its super clear its more clear than my future and she is even in that age she really is a legend and a disney legend she really catches up with other millenial singers this is ome of the best performance i have ever heard in my life so what if she did not brimg her best its not a concert its just a broadway performance no big deal its just you guys that are making it big its funny that you judges her even if you are also not a singer......
i badly want to see miss lea perform live but sadly, by the time i grow up she would def become old and i dunno if she would still perform. May God bless her more
I didnt know this song exist until Stell Ajero of SB19 sang it on their Manila concert on June 24 and 25 this year. I was so impressed. And then today Ms. Lea's version came across my youtube. Both of them slayed it.

Hahaha awesome

😅😅😅😅😅😅
Everytime she sings i can imagine a disney princess singing.
Evan Antonola she really needs to voice one tho xD making it the 1st pinoy Disney princess.
+Karasu Ootori hmm voice actor?... idk I think she's better at singing the voice of a character.. then voicing one
She is a disney princess tho ❤ #mulan
She's a disney princess. She's Mulan and Jasmine's singing voice
Evan Antonola Omg! I just heard Jasmine!
That's her trademark that every time she sings, she make sure that every lyrics and words of the songs are clearly pronounced.
Then she is not a singer..

Broadway diva or broadway queen, disney queen
Agree
she is a force of nature
As what Regine Velasquez said Lea is the only singer she knew that is on pitch.😍
Really? I wanna see that video
Then I guess Velasquez isn't cultured enough to have heard Luciana Serra sing the Doll Song.
The exact words were “pitch perfect” i believe

when she sings you dont even need captions/Subtitle... Amazing very amzing
Reijay Agustin tama oo nga noh kasi sobrang linaw ng diction nya
Very clear
You cant even use the captions....lol haha

Black Tie Entertainment .
Not belting or singing out of her range is why she sounds the same as she did 25 years ago. Shes fab. X
No responsible sonwriter should write a song to be belted up to an F and expect their lead singers to still have a voice after a six month run.

I stand by my statement that Lea Salonga still has a voice because she hasnt succumbed to this.
I don't see anyone complaining tho!
That's a SUPERB performance.
belting is for people who have not been trained properly
Very classy!

That clarity of voice is amazing. Not all singers are blessed with that.
As a Filipino, I'm super super happy that Lea got so so much support from people around the world.
Its not just about diction, enunciation, pronunciation.. Lea is about pitch perfect! Perfection!
I really prefer her performance to others I’ve seen
Lea is the pinnacle example of perfect diction! 🥹
I PREFER LEA'S VERSION THAN OF IDINA MENZEL. Lea focuses on clarity and precision of notes, not just belting like idina. Lea makes it classy and broadway worthy, pleasant to the ear yet doesnt shun away too much from the original key. BRAVA
I prefer Idina's. She has more passion and defiance in her voice.
Our number one world class talent for the whole universe!!!!We r so proud!!!💖💖💖
Goosebumps!

will always love her and her voice😍

did u know that belting is not the only option if ur trying to get the high notes? she's amazing when it comes to control and very smart. ON POINT
It’s not about belting to get to the high notes. The story around this song revolves around angst. This song is not meant to be sung calmly. It’s supposed to be sung with angst and belting is one way to get that emotion out.

Kahit aahhhh ahhhh, super linis at perfect pitch.... haaayyyy ang tv ko nauuumay na kanonood ko kay Lea, ako hindi, paulit ulit lang.
The way Lea enunciates every word is like she's actually acting it. What a gem!
congrats ms. lea. take care always. excited na po ako sa concert nyo 😊 Godbless you always 😍 nakaka-inspired po kayo 😘
currently binging Lea's musical videos. so happy.
one amazing artist. one amazing singer. one amazing legend.
Amazing Miss. Lea....your voice is one in a Million..
leah have such a good voice that even a stressed person hear it will be in a good mood😊
Anyone feels like they've defied gravity today?!! Her voice makes the words real
parang inilipad ako the way she sang oh my leah your incridible super powerful wala kang pinoy singers na katulad, iba!!
I loved her in Miss Siagon. Very nice.
Her pronunciation is SOOOO distinct and clear! Beautiful job 👏
If you actually knew the song you’d know that she actually sang it properly, no need to belt...
Krisha Leigh Joy Paglomutan it’s written to be belted tho lmao
Nothing wrong with belting.. This is also half a key lower..
YESSS
True! Also, her falsetto is sooo clear 😭❤️
She's always on pitch! Amazing Singer!, Really inspiring.. God bless you Miss Lea Salonga! 😍😘
Beautiful! I cannot believe she was that young girl I saw on Broadway in Miss Saigon so many years ago! 😊 ❤

Something has changed within me...
Something is not the same...
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game...
Too late for second-guessing,
Too late to go back to sleep!
It's time to trust my instincts,
Close my eyes...
...And leap!
It's time to try defying gravity...
I think I'll try defying gravity,
And you won't bring me down...
I'm through accepting limits
'Cause someone says they're so!
Some things I cannot change,
But 'til I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost!
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy defying gravity...
Kiss me goodbye!
I'm defying gravity,
And you can't pull me down...
Unlimited...
My future is unlimited!
And I've just had a vision,
Almost like a prophecy!
I know, it sounds truly crazy,
And it's true, the vision's hazy,
But I swear, someday I will be...
Up in the sky, defying gravity!
Flying so high defying gravity!
And you'll never bring me down...
So if you care to find me,
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately,
"Everyone deserves the chance to fly!!"
And if I'm flying solo,
At least I'm flying free!
To those who'd ground me,
Take a message back from me...
Tell them how I am defying gravity!
I'm flying high, defying gravity!!
And soon I'll match them in reknown!
And nobody!
In all of Oz!
No wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring...
Me down!!
Bring me down!
Ah Aaaaah!!!
I am obsessed with Lea!!!
Beautiful song and Incredible singing voice
when she sings"close my eyes and leap~"I just feel like MY SOUL IS LEAPING.
This video deserves million views though
No note was spared from start to finish. Excellent.
Her techniques are always amazing!
I have just been replaying her low "E" for 5 minutes.
I love her so much
An absolute living legend.
Her placement on her highs are sooo perfect. Idina’s are sometimes grating on the ear
I'd say Idina's are *often* grating on the ear.
Yeah Idina is kind of hit and miss at times. When she's on she makes the hair on the back of my neck rise.
Let's just say it. Idina is often a bit screechy. Unpleasantly so.
one of the greatest singer of all time!!!! ❤️
She's indeed a voice of a princess.
Still my Idol! Best singer for me in the Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 so proud for Lea Salonga!
Ms. Lea my love my idol my girl crush... Very smart very magaling wow!!! Pride of philipines

This song needs powerful belts and unfortunately Lea didn't produce them.
Agreed. Lea's voice is undoubtedly lovely, but the song really does require the emphasis that only a belt can produce.
Brava!!! Truly amazing miss Lea
Dictions are clearer than what im seeing.. love lea been a fan since her klim days.
AHHHH THIS WAS MADE THE DAY AFTER MY BIRTHDAY 😍😍
Amazing voice! She still has it
Just close your eyes and have an image of a Disney princess dubbing her voice. Wow!
I'm loving this song recently ❤️

Legend! 👏👏❤️💯
