- The Tony winner Lea Salonga and Lisa Capps performing "I Still Believe" in the Manila production of Miss Saigon in 2000. This probably one of the most heartfelt musical numbers in Miss Saigon.

I feel like Ellen wearing the UCLA shirt was such a great touch. It makes the contrast between her life and Kim's so stark.
Both are Chris' T-shirts, probably
At the same time, this may be the most hopeful, yet sad, song ever written.
Indeed the best song ever..
Love is kind of terrible.
Agreed for both women Kim is pining for someone far away and Ellen is pining for someone though he’s close by is basically far away
Very true. The heartbreaking song
As a military man who has served in Asia I can tell you this story is like a trip down memory lane. Miss Saigon and Madam Butterfly are based in the kind of events that happened and continue to happen anywhere ameicans are sent! Lea's portrayal is marvelous in displaying the raw emotion of these kinds of love stories wrapped in far away cultures!
So sad,,,😢😭
poorer asian countries only see the so-called 'american dream' and military men only in it for the prostitution...cheap sex. for a love story to happen in real life like these scenarios is very very rare. only the war and killings are real events.
@@sgtjoe2008 A lot of what you say is true but I saw personally that "love" happens more often than you think. Loneliness of service members in a faraway land and young asian girls forced into situations working at clubs or on the street spark co-dependencies that at the time seem like love. Many of these Asian girls are abandoned or given promises that are never fulfilled. A number of them come as brides to America but then reality sets in and the divorce rate is high and their dream becomes nightmare. On the other hand there are the "rare" cases where they live long happy lives with a devoted man. I know a number of such people in my sphere of friends!
Thanks for sharing your story. "Highway to Heaven" did several episodes about the aftermath of the Vietnam War, if you want to check them out. A couple of the episodes, including "Dust Child," deal with love between American soldiers and Vietnamese women, love that produced children.
My musical theater coach actually has a story identically to this, from when her mother was young.
At 3:16 when Lea comes back in “For still, I still believe!” The CONVICTION. I’m truly in awe, she’s a legend
Attiyya Toure thought i was only the one who noticed
Me too.!
Filipino pride 💗🇵🇭👏
And the way she emphasizes the ‘turn’ in “You will return”
Still gives me chills everytime I hear that part. No one can do it like Lea did. That's why I go back to this specific video.
Lea was made to sing the music of Boubil and Schonberg.
Agree
I've seen Miss Saigon twice. The first time without her and the 2nd time when she was reprising her role as Kim. I knew I had to see her perform it. Now I bought tickets for the new show in 2017. I know all I will be doing is comparing but no one will ever come close to Lea's Kim.
Ive never gotten the chance to see the original onstage.pls share uour thoughts comparing the two.many thanks
I felt the same way but Eva Noblezada plays the role of Kim tremendously and in her own way. Jon Jon Briones is also a fantastic Engineer. The entire cast and company does a splendid job of telling the story. I actually like the new adaptions they have change. It almost a completely different show. Even thought the only complete song change/ addition was "Maybe" for "Now that I've seen her" which gave Ellen a completely new persona. Do your best not to compare. Regardless, I know you'll enjoy the show!
I was lucky enough to see her reprising the role. I didn’t even realize how lucky I was before the show, but I sure as shit did once she sang her first note.
Archurro55 but Lea’s Kim is still incomparable, PERIOD
My biggest regret is not seeing Lea in person doing Miss Saigon.
my god this is depressing. one who waits for her love to come back while the other one is with the person she loves but he seems like million miles away.
This!
I have always wish to see Lea as Kim in Miss Saigon but its too expensive and sadly, I dont think I will ever see her doing the role of Kim by the time I will be able to afford.
oh, same -_-
I wanted so too. sadly, i'm born around 1990's TT_TT been looking for full videos

Lea Salonga is now too old to play a young Vietnamese girl obviously in the musical.
My most immortal songs on broadway musical... Miss Saigon is the modern opera...
Isn't anyone going to comment on Lisa Capps? Amazing voice too!!
I just wrote the same thing! People should stop the hero worshipping and talk about more than one person.
Sorry, she sing great. She's not mentioned because she played a minor supporting role and her appearance is toward the end. The show is about Kim and Chris.
@@JDere Ellen is not a "minor" supporting role 😂
My hearts aches at this song. Lea is amazing :')
Two women loving one man is such a popular theme in musical theatre
In this theatre there are also two men loving one woman. It has two love triangles in one...
Wicked anyone? Lol
OMG! I just realized, the lyrics "I know, as long as I can keep believing, I'll live." That's why she killed herself at the end, cause she stopped believing because Chris already had a wife. 😢
Elijah Enciso SPOILERS BROSKI
Elijah Enciso and also because she knew that while she was still alive Chris and Ellen won't take Tam with them. But without her around they'll have no choice but to take Tam as their own
lmao spoil the story for everyone that hasn't seen it, nice.
She did it so that they'll take her son with them.
This hurt me
I just saw this show today in Orange County, California. I saw it years ago when it came out, but seeing it again, I see there is so much tragedy, excellent show, made me cry. No one can match Lea Salonga.
Agree
I've seen Miss Saigon on Broadway with the original cast so many times I've stopped counting. Even knowing the show inside out including the lyrics for most of the songs, I still get choked up when Ellen's character first appears in the show with this song. There are so many wonderful songs in the show, but if I could only listen to three, this would be one of them. (The other two are Now that I've Seen Her and I'd Give My Life for You with Last Night of Night of the World being a very close runner-up. Thank you so very much for posting these :)
Caroline Ann Martin great choices! My top three are: This money's yours, Why God Why?, and Bui Doi.
Honorable mentions: The American Dream and the Fall of Saigon.
Lucky you 😂
I was ready to like Ellen until she behaved like "me or her". Like, girl, you can't imagine what she's been through and you make a scene...
Amazingly I might pick the same three songs. DAMN shame they stopped doing Now That I've seen Her. That was my favorite song after the intermission.
If you have seen the original, I would add Sacred Bird before the finale. It's like the bullet through your heart the same time.
Lea, was the perfect person to play the Kim the lead in Miss Saigon, and Simon the perfect Chris. Both with fantastic voices, after listening to the other girls and guys who followed them in the newer productions of Miss Saigon, none can compare or even come close to Lea and Simon. Both excellent Actors and Singers.
Disagree, Will Chase is the better Chris. Simon does not act like a G.I.
Oh BLESS YOU for posting this. So heartbreaking, poignant, and beautiful.
Sooo heart breaking. Imagine Lea was already in her almost 30s here when it was showcased in Manila. And still she managed to do the role sooo well. Superb performance. I was able to watch her twice. So fortunate.
All three characters in this scene are suffering in this scene, which is sad, but "I Still Believe" is a hopeful song. Lea Salonga and Lisa Capps did a wonderful performance here. I love the stage production in this, showing that Ellen and Chris are above Kim - a neat use of symbolism in the storyline!
Lea is other worldy, and this is the best clip ever!!! Also, first time hearing Lisa, and wow, I freakin' love her voice. Powerful!
LEA IS FUCKING INCREDIBLE
Their voices are a perfect meld of texture timbre and emotion. I love this version so much.
Last night I watched him sleeping
My body pressed to him
And then he started speaking
The name I heard him speak was Kim
Yes I know that this was years ago
But when moonlight fills my room I know
You are here still
I still
I still believe
You will return
I know you will
My heart
Against all odds
Holds still
Yes, still
I still believe
I know as long as I can keep believing, I'll live
I'll live
Love cannot die
You will return
You will return
And I alone know why
(In a bedroom on the other side of the world, in America. A woman is
Sitting beside Chris who is sleeping. She is Ellen, Chris's wife)
Last night I watched you sleeping
Once more, the nightmare came
I heard you cry out something
A word that sounded like a name
And it hurts me more than I can bear
Knowing part…
Terjemahkan ke bahasa Indonesia
Lisa is my voice teacher!
She's amazing!
Woahh lucky!
Mine too! As of yesterday. Lol 😂
Beautiful voices and acting aside, I love how the setting of the play portrays the social status of the characters, with Kim below and Ellen and Chris above
This definitely shows that there are 3 victims of war here, Kim, Chris, and even Ellen.
Kim is the most affected victim, the one who is left behind and had hope he will come back for her. In the end she died for her own son
Kim and Tam are so affected the poor innocent boy :((
Please explain to me who this ellen is. I was trying to watch all clips of Miss Saigon to understand the story since this is too interesting no to.
@@janssenblack1579 Ellen became Chris's wife. But Kim has no idea about her at first since she keeps on believing that Chris will still come back for her.
@@cattbernardo at first? So she definitely find out. What was the ending if the story?
Such a painful song!
These ladies sing so powerfully and controlled but make it look so effortless. That takes skill and talent!
Plenty of Girls already portrayed Kim but Lea is unbeatable.. She's the Best Kim❤️
I just saw this again yesterday. My third time, and it was still amazing. And this is still possibly my favorite number in the show. I love when both Kim and Ellen sing. Hard to pick a best number though, there are SO many great songs and moving numbers.
I remember we did this play in high school and this Filipino girl sang it so good👏
Lea is so amazing..
My Filipino wife is the love of my life.I loved her at first sight but in our world it was a Rocky road.We triumphed.Lea's duet is so germane to our struggles and love conquers all.Tx u Leah and Lisa
I'd like to know how this story effected people love lives. Cause I still believe we now want the one who wants us most....like Kim.

Last night I watched him sleeping,

And then he started speaking.
The name I heard him speak was Kim...
Yes, I know that this was years ago,
but when moonlight fills my room I know
you are here, still.
I still-
I still believe
you will return.
I know you will.
My heart against all odds
holds still.
Yes, still,
I still believe.
I know as long as I can keep believing,
I'll live.
I'll live,
love cannot die.
You will return, you will return,
and I alone know why...
Last night I watched you sleeping.
Once more the nightmare came.
I heard you cry out something,
a word that sounded like a name.
And it hurts me more than I can bear
knowing part of you I'll never share,
never know.
But still-
I still believe
the time will come
when nothing keeps us apart.
My heart forever more holds still.
It's all over I'm here,
there is nothing to fear!
Chris, what's haunting you?
Won't you let me inside
what you so want to hide.
I need you too!
Ellen: Kim:
I will Hold you all night for still
I will make it all right
You are safe with me I still believe
And I wish you could tell As long as I
What you don't want to tell Can keep believing
You can sleep now I'll Live... I'll live
You can cry now You will return
I'm your wife now And I know why
For life I'm yours
Until we die
This is one of my favourite song. Its so touchy.... emotional. I wish I could sing it without minding the people next door. Thanks for uploading anyway.
I've heard and watched couples of this rendition from other broadway singers and I must admit, this is comparably really beautiful.
Lea is so great! I have no words to express how much she manages to move me 😭

❤❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷 love love love Lea's performance. She is the one and only.
Lea sings this so beautifully.
My most favorite scene from Miss Saigon. Watch the Broadway and Wes End production several times, and every time watching this scene , I couldn't help crying ;-(
This musical is definitely a masterpiece, it makes me cry every time I watch it
I could hardly breathe. Wow!
I've been looking for this song for an hour and I'm so relieved to have found it! I couldn't remember the lyrics 🥺
Just heard this song and now it’s stuck in head ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
this still gets me....! 😢
My god, lisa capps voice... clarity
doesn't get better than this
😭😭😭 such a poignant story. On another note, Lea is simply amazing, her live singing sounds exactly like the original cast recording. 😍
... brought tears to my eyes. I wish to see you in one of your shows. Bravo!
beautiful.... this left me in tears.
For some deep reason I cry listening to this song. There's too much emotions going on.💗
So… Nobody has anything to say about poor Lisa Capps? She's a great singer too.
Absolutely! 2:58 gave me goosebumps. Lea Salonga is legendary and deserves all of the praise that she receives, but all of the other actors in this production deserve appreciation too, as they were all brilliant.
lea.. u nailed it.. love it.. it made me cry
I recalled when I watched this Homecoming of Miss Saigon in Manila. Still gives you the goosebumps
😢 i watched Miss saigon And until now this song make me cry
너무 간절한 느낌의 노래라서 들을 때마다 눈물이 흐른다. 두 아내의 사랑과 믿음이 안타깝고 슬프다.
Still watching at 2018
That vocals is beyond perfection
The woman singing Ellen has a GORGEOUS “time” vowel.
Ang sakit bes
I get on these long miss saigon weeks of crying listening and loving and then i stop and think wowoowow yyou have to be what me and my besties call DDD watchers those who just truly love DEEP DARK and DEPRESSING sh*t hahahah lol I love you Lea I love you miss Saigon , Les miz, spring awakening but come on whats with Broadway and being literally suicidal smile !!!! love love xo
Lea's voice is really so powerful here.
This makes me cry. Such an astounding performance.
I saw the London production of this show. I don't believe that I have ever been so moved by a theatre piece.
Miss Saigon is a musical that just moves you. It's amazing on another level. I love all musicals pretty much but in the past musicals like these are absolutely masterpieces of theate and genius composing. It transports me to some unknown place but I feel the epicness of it all. By far one of my favorite musicals of all time.
I dont know why this makes me sad and teary but i love watching and listening to it..
2022 and still watching over and over and over.....
how come he decided to move on just after 1 *****ng year? it took me more than 3 years to forget someone even didn't response to my love.
abcde2 abcde1 let's be honest. He wasn't the greatest of a person. Lied to Ellen, completely betrayed Kim-I've always believed it's his fault that Kim killed herself. If they had agreed to take Tam, she would have still been alive.
It's not Chris it's war that's cruel.
Let's face it, Chris and Kim were victims of the Vietnamese war. They were torn apart. A lot of people were. Plus Chris and Kim weren't legally married. If they were then that would be a completely different story. Chris did nothing wrong with moving on with Ellen. Plus Ellen cared about him immensely as shown in this song. So I don't see why people hate her. She was good for him and was exactly what he needed as a PTSD victim because she had a calming effect on him. There was a time and place for Kim as well, it just didn't work out between her and Chris because of the war. Ellen was just meant to be his life partner. That's just how it went down.
Michelle Bousaada i hate that you're right... :/
@@Archurro55 Ok, I know it's an old comment. But that comment, 👏🏻.
I would kill for the full Pro shot!
somebody uploaded the full manila cast with lea on youtube.
Yeah, the first full pro shot on TH-cam was upload last December, got taken down after 4 weeks and was reuploaded by someone who downloaded it.
LEA 💕
2021 can’t stop watching this
Lea’s voice very unique, neat and clear!!!
what I'd give to see this live again omg
Lea Salonga is both the best Kim ( Miss Saigon) and the best Éponine ( Les Misérables )
Fantastic voice, great actress but she always seems to play the most tragic characters.
Luv d Ms Saigon 's story.❤️
this scene always stayed with me . it is how ni would describe show to people . brilliant
What I'd give to have seen Lea in Miss Saigon 😪
sun and moon reprise plsss!
Moral lesson dont fall in love..dont have faith take things casually esp when you know youre just dreaming a dream
Great performance by Lea and Lisa.
Kim: Love cannot die.
Me, as someone who's been in love before and had it very thoroughly killed: ...Yeah.
Saw it on Broadway 6 times
Que hermosa voz Lea!!!
lea salonga is just perfection
My favorite ever..
In New York ,
How I cried listen ing to this sad song...
Amazeballs!
This is the world's best female vocal.
That’s Will Chase as Chris!!! Love him!!
Post more from the show in the philippines.
I was lucky enough to see the original West end cast all those years ago. I managed some years later to download the music to my Ipod and was listening to it on a business flight but started crying at this song. Had to turn it off! The music and voices were immense and no show I have seen since has moved or impressed me as much.
I don't want to cry :(
so sad :(
To appreciate what a talent Lea was,see her early appearance with Ku Ledesma in the Philippines.Ku was a star and she was awed.And years later at Cory Aquino's funeral Lea sang Bayan Ko,a tour de force moment.A once in a lifetime talent.
nakakaiyak hanggang ngayon ang galing promise! 💖
omg!!! she's amazing! HOW DID I NOT SEE HER?!
Grato Just love Just a masterpiece theater fornecer Kimand him I did cryed I do miss New York they are stil in my heart my memórias I bela e tha before I died I Will bê Return there
