@@dropdead_gaming5678 Well this is only a concert so she doesn't really need to capture the exact emotions of the song, still though her emotion and diction is outstanding.
@@dropdead_gaming5678 actually that depends on what kind of emotions they're trying to convey. Rachelle's performance as Eliza was amazing and her words were very clear
This is what I like in all Lea’s performances. Her words are always clear. There’s no need to search for the lyrics to understand her song. I’ve been listening to her since i was 8.
It's interesting how Philippa Soo's version is disappointed and heartbroken, whereas Lea's is more resolute. Soo's Eliza is an estranged wife demanding space to clear her head, whereas Lea sings it like she's kicking Alexander to the curb. They're both distinct interpretations of the song.
Don't forget the title, my friend -- Burn, as in I hope that you BURN. I think you're splitting hairs. I think PS is just as angry as LS, it just sounds a bit different.
I love Philippa Soo's version because it's the original but Lea Salonga's rendition is very heartfelt. Her words are so clear, I don't even need to google for the lyrics.
Jellyn Alinsod Personally, neither are better than the other. They are both good in there own right. I think Pippa is the better actor but I think Lea has great articulation.
trb7153 I feel that Lea has been in the game longer, like Pippa what only just graduated a few years back. But as stated I don't think they can really be compared and argued over cause both are amazing in their own right x
I think its the context of where they are performing it. Lea is doing a concert so she is focused more on singing than acting it out since she is not trying to be in character
Can all of you stop saying "She's good but Pippa..." this is her fucking rendition. We're all here because we all loved how Phillipa sang this piece. For the emotions, this is literally a concert and not the actual msucial, you cant expect her to be in character as much as Pippa was! Pippa is our Eliza and Lea didnt perform this to make all of us think she's better than Phillipa, she probably fell in love with the song like we all did so stop.
Lea's voice is actually a lot stronger in terms of power compared to phillipa..so when she goes soft to strong maybe she's coming off too strong for some people who are used to pipa's rendition??? (seems fine to me though..)..I thought it was a really good performance..I thought she seemed really balanced, just a different emotional quality to the song than pippa's..
The clearest Burn cover ever. no need for subs. Philippa's, Rachel's, and D' Lea Salonga's are all on their own league. Can't pick one over the other. They're all on equal footing.
Franzine Tagayun While it would be incredible to see her as any of the Schuyler sisters, she has said in her BUILD interview that she's no longer interested in playing the "pretty, young things". But who knows, really. Maybe she'll consider if she's asked.
such an interesting interpretation. she sounds so sure of herself. like she's sad that hamilton did what he did but she's over it and would do just fine without him, because she's bigger than his mistakes, she's her own fcking woman.
she's totally incredible, STILL!! after all these years... for all of us who have seen her from her teen-"der" years all the way up to her ala-jigsaw puzzling entry to Saigon and to her next climb-up-the-hill career, just by looking at her achievements...wallah, u may feel like nausea looking down.... she's one of the most, ever successful person in Asia in music category that has been accorded at most of world's most prestigious recognition... I'm not a good critic in the field of music, and I cannot even pay one of her tickets to get a good view of LEA, and hear her on her, I somewhat call " freestyle " - what I meant is, to hear her, NO HOLDS BARRED without any help of tech sounds and so on... just her with her mouth and vocal chords hitting those incredible notes and lyrics FALL ONE BY ONE guided by her incredible natural voice and technic.... on this act uploaded by LSFP, I admire - okay, that's it but I like her more to belt this song again in a freestyle mode, free from microphone, and sound system... to me, she's like one of France's "most treasured sparkling wine" - the more it ages, the sharper the voice soothes one's crave for "fine", "exquisite", "elegant" and most of all, "supreme" kind of music... LEA's one of them, still one of the world's living legends of my time... HOW ABOUT YOURS? TH-camRs? jj kepweng Riyadh/JUN mamertomj@gmail.com
You dont belt a piece like Burn its not written that way.... (she did sing Defying Gravity thou) And asking to sing a musical number in acapella without the orchestra... Is just wrong for my opinion... And belting is not a true judge of vocal capability... Lea hits her high notes with precision and control reaching them without straining her vocal cords Hence the reason her voice is still perfectly healthy even after a few decades of singing
Soo and Lea are two different people with different messages to portray. Phillipa portrays the pain and hurt she feels deep inside, she shows the anger that turns to sadness and hurt. Lea portray the betrayal and anger she feels once she discovered what Hamilton did. She feels the disbelief yet she accepts it and therefore unleashed the anger she had. If the things I said were wrong... Idc
I even push the like button before she's about to sing! Love her always! I've just watched her live show in Feinstein/54 Below NYC last Wednesday. She's just so good as always! ❤️

It's very rare when I hear another persons rendition of this song, because Phillipa's is always amazing to me and other people don't usually make it sound right. But Lea's? This one sounds amazing for different reasons and I'm here for it
Gianna Mendiola lol you won’t convince anyone with that. Pippa is not near Lea’s skills lol. Lea Salonga is Lea Salonga, the perfectionist. Pippa is boring and amateur
So amazing to hear an interpretation of this song from an older performer closer to the age Eliza was at this point. It brings something different - no better or worse than the young actresses who usually play this role in the stage production, just a different nuance.
I'm new to Hamilton, and I like both versions. Phillipa is by far the best singer of the original cast, but Lea could sing the phone book and it would be amazing.
I love this woman….loved her since I was a kid & heard her gorgeous voice in Disney Cartoons…….Not only is she stunningly beautiful, she has the voice of one of God’s angels…The Philippines should be very proud of their daughter!
T if you have ever seen Lea rehearse songs for concert, you won’t judge this so quickly. I would say check her rehearsal video when she did “still hurting” from “the last five years”
Raw and uncompromising. Leah Salonga is the queen of dramatic musicals like this. Brilliant. If you ever get the chance to see her live (as we recently did in Sydney) go for it !

oh my...one of the best filipina singers/theatre actresses singing a song from one of my favorite musicals?? i cant believe i just saw this today this is amazing 🙌🙌
AHHH ive loved her since i was a child and now hearing her sing one of my favourite songs sang by another favourite broadway singer of mine, Pippa, is a dream come true😭😭 she needs to be Eliza! We need a filipino schuyler sister asap❤️
I love how she is so iconic she doesn't need to make her redention extra different than the orginal. I don't know how to explain this, but I mean for instance it's nothing like Celine Dion singing "Memory" - her interpretation was soooo different than other versions
If anyone say that any of the Eliza's is better than Lea, probably the 98 people who dislikes this video. Lea should have a statue in Broadway, sorry but no one is better than her.
Starting at 3:05, that's what I think it makes Lea's version is better than Phillipa and Rachelle. She puts a lot of mixed emotion, anger, hatred, dissapointment and sadness.
Its amazing that the main difference between Lea and Pippa’s version is the emotion they used in the song, Lea being more angry and Pippa more heartbroken and its just...WOW

I feel like lea's was more soft tbh, I don't think her emotions were on point...
I love Philippa Soo's version because it's the original but Lea Salonga's rendition is very heartfelt. Her words are so clear, I don't even need to google for the lyrics.
I don't mean to be snide, but that's because LEA IS A SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER VOCALIST THAN SOO. And, frankly, it's not even that close.
Jellyn Alinsod omg seriously her dictions are so accurate yet so beautiful
Jellyn Alinsod Personally, neither are better than the other. They are both good in there own right. I think Pippa is the better actor but I think Lea has great articulation.

Well, there's a difference between playing and singing the part on stage, and then singing the song in a concert.
I want to see her a Eliza so terribly. Lea Salonga is one of the most talented theater actresses of all time!

She would make a good Eliza, she sounds just like the original Eliza

if this musical had come out in the 90s/early 00s, Lea would've 100% played Eliza in the original cast. What a talent!

She said, "You've married an Icarus,
he's flown too close to the sun."
You and your words obsessed with your legacy
Your sentences border on senseless
And you are paranoid in every paragraph
How they perceive you
You, you, you!
I'm erasing myself from the narrative
Let future historians wonder how Eliza
Reacted when you broke her heart
You have torn it all apart
I'm watching it burn
Watching it burn
The world has no right to my heart
The world has no place in our bed
They don't get to know what I said
I'm burning the memories
Burning the letters that might have redeemed you
You forfeit all rights to my heart
You forfeit the place in our bed
You'll sleep in your office instead
With only the memories of when you were mine
I hope that you burn.
Wow, She is amazing! Please play Eliza at some point.
oh my...one of the best filipina singers/theatre actresses singing a song from one of my favorite musicals?? i cant believe i just saw this today this is amazing 🙌🙌
Phillipa Soo’s Verision felt so sad and heartbroken and lost, But lea’s sounds so serious and angry
This is more like First Burn
This is still so beautiful 😢
wow the goosebumps when she hit the first note.
When you are a fan of both Lea Salonga and Hamilton:
I'm so blown
*Filipino Hamilton fans have entered the chat*
...Ok me proud
omgggg! proud filipino here and a proud hamilton fan ♥️
^
AHHH ive loved her since i was a child and now hearing her sing one of my favourite songs sang by another favourite broadway singer of mine, Pippa, is a dream come true😭😭 she needs to be Eliza! We need a filipino schuyler sister asap❤️
this is the best of the two versions ive heard...Lea just simply sounds and looks perfect for this song
Can we have a clap for the harpist? They played that intro so heartfelt. :)
I didn't know i needed something so much in my life.
i just love hearing her sing. Her words are very clear , and I can just feel the song. Wow she gives me chills
undeniably one of the greatest performers of all time, the clarity of lyrics… so superb
I love how she is so iconic she doesn't need to make her redention extra different than the orginal. I don't know how to explain this, but I mean for instance it's nothing like Celine Dion singing "Memory" - her interpretation was soooo different than other versions
Amazing with the full orchestra
If anyone say that any of the Eliza's is better than Lea, probably the 98 people who dislikes this video. Lea should have a statue in Broadway, sorry but no one is better than her.
AS A FILIPINO HAMILTON FAN I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED
sameee
Starting at 3:05, that's what I think it makes Lea's version is better than Phillipa and Rachelle. She puts a lot of mixed emotion, anger, hatred, dissapointment and sadness.
Lea's voice is timeless! Such a beautiful rendition.
fun fact: Lin-Manuel and Lea are actually friends😉
She just sings it so clearly and it's just, I can't. It's gorgeous
I’m just thinking about how smooth her crescendos are
she is simply amazing, she sings so effortlessly and beautifully
Her voice is so clear
My gosh. So clean and clear. Ridiculous!
can't wait for rachelle ann go's version!
omg yes!
omg yes!
barbie polistico i heard rachelle ann go's version and i cant believe how rachelle ann go managed to match eliza
omg did you watch the show or is there any way to listen to rachelle's version online?
N T my tumblr is 020507k please message me there!
WOw...the legend killed this song....love her so much
Its amazing that the main difference between Lea and Pippa’s version is the emotion they used in the song, Lea being more angry and Pippa more heartbroken and its just...WOW
I'm so happy she sings Hamilton - Burn! Love that Musical. Also, on how she sings! Ganda! 😍😍
beautiful and excellent
This song always makes my throat nod and shed a tear. I felt for Eliza, regardless who portrays her
HOW CAN I SAY NO TO THIS
I love this version so much!!! Thanks Ms. Lea Salonga.
Very beautiful this song sung in your voice my goddess ..!
She can make every song sound magical
