they sounded unbelievably good, and yet... the entire thing looked so real. if i didn't know any better, i would've thought they were truly madly in love. it's mind-blowing how convincing the performance was.
You should watch the actual play, not just this performance for an awards show (I think), because the set is so limited here, they dont even have a fake balcony lol
@@Dan-gi6tf I'm pretty sure this was a performance for a talk show. There were interviews with Lea, Jonathan Pryce, and also the writers Boublil and Schoenberg. I want to say it might have been Lea's first time on a British talk show. (Of course, Lea had been on TV many times in the Philippines before this and even hosted her own musical tv show from ages 12-14 with her younger brother.)
There's a certain tenderness here that you don't see with the other versions of Lea and varying Chrises ... not that they aren't good, just different. Other versions are more playful, others still more passionate, but I really like how this one is glowing with a quiet sort of tender affection. Bravo to both Ms. Salonga and Mr. Bowman!
You mean 'other versions of Kim'? Anyway, they didn't perform it like this on the stage, because you really have to speak/sing up in order for the nosebleed seats to hear you. This interpretation was for the benefit of television, which is a more intimate medium. Same with movies.
The most people can do with this role is to articulate it for the art and meaning. To understand dedication and control! And most of all to have fun! But I doubt that any Kim even in previous years ever had to feel jealousy, as I think they all did wonderful in their own ways, in all fairness. Musicians are athletes too, ahah! Lea is definitely one that stood out like a star, as she was chosen right away for this role after the Miss Saigon's production team had travelled to Hawaii, New York, Taiwan, and Philippines to find their Kim and everyone who played Kim knows that 🤍
I know what you mean! She still sounds wonderful, but as she got older, her voice became more operatic with maturity. At this point in her life, her tone was so light without any vibrato required at all. Her notes drifted into the air with wings of the most purely sustained notes.
Lea Salonga is phenomenal here but so is Simon Bowman. And I have nothing but the deepest respect for him for being a gentleman towards her and her mother because of Lea's anxiety of doing the love scenes with him without having had the experience of love. Lea always talks in interviews that he felt her reservations and assured her and her mother that he will take care of her and not take advantage of her. That's why after so many years their mutual friendship has always been special to the both of them. And as for many, I prefer their depicition of Kim's and Chris' romance as being innocent and pure, as being reflected in their friendship in real life. 🥰
anamorphosys85 Yes, I agree! All I can say is that Simon Bowman is a brilliant actor and a true British gentleman. Lea was 18 and Simon was 28 when Miss Saigon was played in 1989. Lea comes from a very protected/sheltered background thus never had any intimate relationship with anyone, never been kissed by a bloke as Simon stated/posted on his website. I can understand and imagine Lea's anxiety and I am sure it took quite a lot of convincing and reassurance to both mother and daughter that this is only an act. Despite of this being an act, it takes my breath away everytime their lips touch. I can feel the innocence, purity, tenderness, true love that both of them portrayed in their given roles. The undeniable fact here is that Simon Bowman was and always will be Lea's first kiss in life.
It's 13 April 2023 today and here I am again as usual listening to these two of my favorite performers of all time. Their singing together seems like my panacea; it's PERFECT!
It's 2023 and I am still in awe of this song and performers. I can still feel the deep tender love in each note. Of all Lea's Chris, Simon is still the best for me. Lea is the best Kim ever. I always have goosebumps and become teary each time I see clips of Ms Saigon. How I wish I had the money then to be able to see it in its Manila run. Thanks yt for being there. At least I've seen many parts of the play thru socmed.
He has one of the best suited voices for this role!! Think of what kind of singing was prevelent at the time this show was set...He gives a phenominally intelligent performance... his 'sky' is THE best of any Chris ever...proper projection! blends and complements Leas pure song perfectly. The chemistry on set is brilliant - very natural.
I don't know how many times I hit replay for the past few months of being addicted to this song. I love you Lea. "Reflection" from Mulan was my puberty and self esteem boosting song. It literally changed my life. I didn't even know that a fellow Filipina was the voice behind that soul stirring song. I think all 90's kids with self esteem issues relate to that song in a very emotional way. I am not a fan of classical songs but you Lea indpired me to appreciate classical songs. Your voice is sweet, gentle and heavenly. There have been other versions with more powerful voices but your performance is really magical.
Wonderful. Lea so young, beautiful and talented. Simon Bowman wonderfully portrays the most tender, loving Chris that I've seen. As in Last Night of the World, he focuses entirely on her and not on promoting himself to the audience .
I’m convinced Lea can’t play a role that doesn’t make me cry. Literally every character I’ve seen her play has brought my grown ass to tears. It’s just so beautiful.
I'm here after watching them perform Sun and Moon, and Last Night of the World once agaaain! 😍 They sang it for Lea's 40th Anniversary Concert in the PH. You guys should check it out. It was just last week!
It's 2019 and here am I viewing this video of Lea & Simon's duet of Sun and Moon(which to me is the superior version)Every time I view the video, I still feel the sweetness and tenderness of sublime love, expressed convincingly by these great actors/singers. Too bad that their love ended tragically.
Obsessed with this musical but have never seen it properly live - it was showing at my local cinema. Would absolutely love to see it in a theatre. I sobbed my heart out!
damn I feel shivers down my spine and I cant continue eating my oatmeal upon seeing this magic! their voices are amazing! lea salonga never seizes to amaze me... simon bowman's voice is so sweet!
THE BEST KIM and CHRIS for ALL TIME!!! The chemistry and the voices blends well, too. Proud fan here! You set the standard for the others who played the part. But yours was still the best for me! GOD BLESS to both of you...😗😚😍

Darn it people! It's broadway...you need to transform yourself into a different person whenever you're on stage because you're not you when the play starts. I don't get the nasty comments here about the kissing thing. I mean, she's kinda in the right age when she did this and it's just an effin' kiss. I can't at these people looking at the flaws instead of the talent itself...like really? ugh. Anway, I never thought Lea's voice was this thin and sweet beofre because she's got a bigger voice now.. Lovely duet.
She was just 17 or 18 then, that's why her voice fits well with the character... angelic but strong... that's why it's hard to find the perfect Kim 'coz it seems that the role was written for her...;-)
ferdie pagsibigan Not only that; but 17-18 year olds are not so innocent/naive these days thanks to how society developed. People are more sexually mature now; because they feel they need to have sex at a younger age (which i actually don't agree with); but I think the innocence of the performance is incomparable, and is probably lost forever on our generation.
I went to go see the Tour of this back in 2003 before it closed. I loved it, but man... no one can hold a candle to Simon and Lea. I wish there was a DVD of the original cast. :(
I watched Miss Saigon in NYC with my father when I was a young girl and although I didn’t understand the story fully at the time, I always loved this song and seeing this reminds me of this very special moment in my childhood.
They're both beautiful people & singers! Simon rocks and I think it's needless to say how much lea rocks. Their kisses and voices are so tender yet passionate!
Now before people arguing at who's the best Chris. Let's just analyze it this way For example, Simon and Lea's interpretation was more of a lost and innocent kind of love. Will and Lea's had a more deep and passionate kind of portrayal. So it kinda depends on preference of someone. I personally prefer Simon and Lea because of the air of innocence and that in the area filled with confusion and dread, they finally found clarity, which is each other. But that doesn't mean that the other interpretations aren't good. Theirs just appealed to me more.
[KIM] You are sunlight and I moon Joined by the gods of fortune Midnight and high noon Sharing the sky We have been blessed, you and I [CHRIS] You are here like a mystery I'm from a world that's so different From all that you are How in the light of one night Did we come so far?

Miss Saigon is a very powerful musical with some really beautiful tunes. i think the male lead in this production shown as got a really good voice. I love the musicals, you just can't beat 'em
I've loved Miss Saigon since the first time I saw it, 12 and a half years ago now. Re-watching this clip still put me right back to the wonder and magic of discovering it from new. And young Lea Salonga! What a dish, and what a voice. There's something about the sweet innocence and slight underdevelopment of her voice that is so ephemeral, and suits Kim so. MAGIC.
I love this song and the whole production, we played a medley of the Mss Saigon Songs in my orchestra it was immense cos I could just imagine the production.
its something about this Lea thats so mesmerizing, i mean there's a lot of people with great beautiful voices but she's beyond that, she's an angel, everytime I hear her sing I just want to cry =). Her music touches my heart and soul
2:16 Simon WHAT are you looking at?! Ugh hahahaha. That ruins it for me after that beautiful held note they share together. So beautiful and then that LOOK! GAH!
Probably someone called out enough.......It looks like he wanted to keep kissing her and she was kissing him back as well. Maybe he was told to back off a bit.......But him looking over her head meant that people or film.crew were behind the wall, and it did look awkward. I think he had really fallen for his Kim. Those love scenes must have put a lot of strain on their everyday working life. Who's to know and who's going to tell. But they made a fantastic on screen couple. Lovely to watch.
I am a Japayuki, also a singer & entertainer like Lea Salonga. Former Japayukis like me performed in night clubs in Japan. As entertainers, we all know that we experienced great struggles & hardships in our singing & dancing jobs. But it's ok na rin coz we earned big "lapads" in Japan that really helped our families financially back home. I hope showbiz Lea Salonga will have SINCERE concern & support to her fellow entertainers like us Japayuki singers to ask the government to bring back again employments in Japan for us singers/entertainers coz we earned big "lapads" in Japan that really help improve the lives of our families...
Lea sang it best here. I agree with a lot of the comments. I liked the innocence and softness of her voice here. She is not over singing it. They harmonise beautifully. ❤️👍
aaaaaaw when they smooch at the end, did anyone else think - 'how adorable' - cos they didn't really need to y'know? they weren't actually doing the full sow just a little snippet to introduce ti to Wogan's audience and yet they still did the last kiss... LUSH! This song is one of my favourites EVER!
they sounded unbelievably good, and yet... the entire thing looked so real. if i didn't know any better, i would've thought they were truly madly in love. it's mind-blowing how convincing the performance was.
hansenbillard that’s a lovely thing to say
Same thought :(

beautifully put.
"the other versions of Lea" lol
She did the singing voices of Jasmine and Mulan.
lol
Cano Manuel Gonzaga
Brittney Hernandez anastacia too...
girl no, that was liz callaway
Jastelle Lapan her singing voice
I think this version sat the standard for all Sun and Moons to come.
+Cano Manuel “Gonzrule” Gonzaga Lea set the standard for all Kims to come ;)
+Underfighter73 Yes!
of course because she's the original cast hehe
Lea Salonga is the BEST Kim, bar none. She originated the role.
The most people can do with this role is to articulate it for the art and meaning. To understand dedication and control! And most of all to have fun!

she still sounds great even now that she's older
Hell yeah, current Lea is a close second tho
Simon is the best Chris EVER. Lea is the best Kim EVER. NOTHING CAN BEAT THE ORIGINALS.
You said it
Lea Salonga is phenomenal here but so is Simon Bowman. And I have nothing but the deepest respect for him for being a gentleman towards her and her mother because of Lea's anxiety of doing the love scenes with him without having had the experience of love.

@@microsp20lect28 They are heavenly, but to be honest if I were in Lea's place, it would be Simon's mom who needs to worry ... 😂
Simon is Lea's first kiss
Really?
nope 😂
*Lea's first kiss on stage
I think he is. She said she's just 14 😳
I think he is, Lea said on her interview she never had a boyfriend
Lea is indescribable... such an extraordinary blend of artistic interpretation and skillful precision. Inspiring.
Plus she's totally hot! lol
Hi how are u now in 2021?.?
It's amazing to see a comment 14 years ago ٩๏̯͡๏۶
Woaahh comment from 14 years ago
Yes.
Wow amazing 14 years ago😂
The chemistry these two performers have is incredible. Lea is the original miss Saigon:)
It's 13 April 2023 today and here I am again as usual listening to these two of my favorite performers of all time. Their singing together seems like my panacea; it's PERFECT!
Nothing beats the original 👍👍 I really love their voices... I would like to watch them perform live 👏👏👏👏
Mara Luarte yes they did @ Lea 40th Anniversary. Sparks still on.
They did the performance again in Lea 40's.
It's 2023 and I am still in awe of this song and performers. I can still feel the deep tender love in each note. Of all Lea's Chris, Simon is still the best for me. Lea is the best Kim ever.

Lovely complimentary words
my six year old son weeped after listening to this piece.. the song moves all ages
He wept
She is acting while singing! I can feel the love. The emotion! Such a masterpiece!
She’s such a baby omg !! She’s so angelic and perfect but also so mature. To do this at such a young age.
The ending of Miss Saigon is one of the most tragic that was ever on Broadway.
Lea's voice makes me cry.
I love this song.
simon/lea=passionate and sweet with a innocence
will/lea=dynamic explossive with a feelin of danger
I don't know how many times I hit replay for the past few months of being addicted to this song. I love you Lea. "Reflection" from Mulan was my puberty and self esteem boosting song.

2023, still one of the phenomenal shows ever
I always see Terry Wogan says "And Simon Bowman" and even his interview of Lea. It's still sad that he has just passed away today :(

Life
is not measured
by the number of breaths we take
but by the Moments
that take our Breath away
This song takes my breathe away
One of the most beautiful songs Ive ever heard...
a student of mine loved this song I hope Lisa you get to sing it one day. you deserve it!
HOLY freaking HARMONY!!!!
I sill love to hear the voice of Lea Salonga the legend compared to the prresent Miss Saigon
I really love to hear these 2 performers sing. They are lovable people.
Nobody beats Lea Salonga the original Miss Saigon star. Awesome voice, superb acting and performance in the highest level in London and US.
They are so simpatico their voices vibrate in synch on that last note. Epic duo!
The original cast, so beautiful fond memories, ❤️
Now before people arguing at who's the best Chris. Let's just analyze it this way For example, Simon and Lea's interpretation was more of a lost and innocent kind of love.

Full of love and passion. Still hoping for the reunion performance of this incredible duo. Love Simon n lea.
just watched their oct 2018 performance...amazing!
.... WOW... I really loved this song..Lea and Simon ..so amazing..
Mystic Sanchez no Jim mmm
They legitimately look in love. Amazing!
tabularasaconfirmed o
I wish there was more footage of these two as Kim and Chris!!!!!!! :(
Tears. Still as we are approaching Thanksgiving in, November, 2019. I am STILL thankful for this right here. Tears. 😉 💜 🍀 🎶
I like both of their voices. They perfectly blend well. MISS LEA SALONGA also won a TONY awards for this. A TONY is an equivalent for the OSCARS
it's funny how much lea's voice has changed but is still beautiful
I remember seeing this lady sing and going away with tears in my eyes.... an amazing voice
Amazing. Wish I could have seen them preform
Hands down Miss Saigon is one of the best musicals I've seen

Voice of an angel. Both amazing actors, artists and performers.
Miss Saigon is a very powerful musical with some really beautiful tunes. i think the male lead in this production shown as got a really good voice. I love the musicals, you just can't beat 'em
Their voice so complimented each other. What a great match and cast overall.
I had some friends of ours who are popular gospel singers sing this at my wedding and it was fantastic!
HER VOICE IS/WAS SO AMAZING WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER EVEN UNTIL NOW damn I wish my voice was this good 😭
I'm here again and again. So pure...
30th Anniversary of Miss Saigon
(20th September 1989) today. ❤️🎉🎊💐🎂👏👏👏👏
The very best Chris and Kim, Simon and Lea. Xxxxxxx
2018 still cant get over. .
i love it hw they blend their voices!
watched it a million times❤️❤️❤️❤️

This version of leah with simon is the best. Tenderness and quiet passion so full of love
I've seen the 25th anniversary blu ray and the US national tour, and Lea And Simon will always be my favorite.
Have you seen the Manila Production of Lea and Will Chase?
@@ibvghgfvbnbc I have seen clips here on youtube. I'm partial to Simon, not saying that Will Chase isn't good.
its something about this Lea thats so mesmerizing, i mean there's a lot of people with great beautiful voices but she's beyond that, she's an angel, everytime I hear her sing I just want to cry =). Her music touches my heart and soul
They are so crystal clear and perfect...
2:16 Simon WHAT are you looking at?! Ugh hahahaha. That ruins it for me after that beautiful held note they share together. So beautiful and then that LOOK! GAH!
Kate McGarry I know it bothers me a lot 😂
Kate McGarry my lovely Simon must’ve had a “lazy eye”
Probably someone called out enough.......It looks like he wanted to keep kissing her and she was kissing him back as well.

Lmao I read ur comment just as it happens
I thought he was looking at her hair?
the melody of this song is god's gift to humanity.
Aww lea is so pretty here. Her voice is so delicate it captures this kind of angelic aura :)
I am a Japayuki, also a singer & entertainer like Lea Salonga. Former Japayukis like me performed in night clubs in Japan. As entertainers, we all know that we experienced great struggles & hardships in our singing & dancing jobs. But it's ok na rin coz we earned big "lapads" in Japan that really helped our families financially back home. I hope showbiz Lea Salonga will have SINCERE concern & support to her fellow entertainers like us Japayuki singers to ask the government to bring back again employments in Japan for us singers/entertainers coz we earned big "lapads" in Japan that really help improve the lives of our families...
Lea sang it best here. I agree with a lot of the comments. I liked the innocence and softness of her voice here. She is not over singing it. They harmonise beautifully. ❤️👍
Soso sweet .love watching their performances. Somon and Lea ( kim and Cris )The best .
Watching in 2019?and feeling in love without any reason except watching this video? 😳
2018 and still watching this. They’re incredible! 😍

Saw this cast, the original,on Broadway with my daughter…we both treasure the memory. ❤️
aaaaaaw when they smooch at the end, did anyone else think - 'how adorable' - cos they didn't really need to y'know? they weren't actually doing the full sow just a little snippet to introduce ti to Wogan's audience and yet they still did the last kiss... LUSH!

35 years ago and this still gives goose bumps! ❤❤❤
I'm such a girl. I actually went 'aww!' when she jumps into his arms. So sweet though, plus it's a gorgeous song.
in my opinion, this was the best version of Lea Salonga playing Kim. Her voice young, sweet and innocent. perfect voice to match the role.
