i've been listening to various singers - some outstanding performers - sing these songs - and i keep coming back to this performance by Lea credit too must be given to the stage director - which didn't force her to stand in one spot - it feels like i'm watching her in their context in the middle of the musical - what a presence she must have on a theater stage
The amazing thing about Lea is that she utterly feels her songs and communicate that feeling to her audience thus taking them through all the happiness and pain of the songs...what a great singer and performer. I'm proud to be a Filipino and say Lea is a Filipino.
Always the best, Lea Salonga has been a treasure not just of Filipinos' but of the world for she's inspired us all with her singing talent.. hope she'll last for a thousand years.
That awkward moment when you recognize all the songs lol. I am a big fan of both ALW's music (yeah some people say it's crap, but he's actually a good composer imo) and Lea Salonga. Brava!
She has a great voice especially for Broadway/musicals. I didn't understand the song "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" until I realized that she is talking to the country, not some girl named Argentina. And watching Evita (in Spanish class) was the first time I actually liked hearing it because I heard it way too many times on the same CD.
I really enjoyed watching Lea's Andrew Lloyd Weber medley, like the diff DVD's of ALW's at the Royal Albert Hall in London that I have them. Love the songs. It is enjoyable to watch the show.
1) Don't cry for my argentina[an intro, the speech part] 2) I don't know how to love him 3) As if we never said goodbye 4) Don't cry for me argentina[the whole song]
Lea Salonga is a commensurate vocalist. Andrew Lloyd Webber is a brilliant composer. He is the on,y person to have three hits on Broadway at the same time. “Cats”, “Phantom of the Opera” and “Jesus Christ Superstar”.
Lea always understands the song, the message, the feeling it conveys and perfectly shares it with the audience through her voice and facial expressions
The fact that people can sing tells me that not everything in this world is bad. I mean, there are other things, but a person singing, actually singing, is one of the most amazing gifts for us.
One of the biggest complement my daughter has received is from Lea in a master class. Lea said to my daughter that she was speechless and had no words for my daughter's performance. Wow.
ugh I love jcs, and she does this so well. I do love whoever plays Mary Magdalene in the 1973 version but at the same time if they did a remake she should totally do it
I am watching this before i leave for my night shift. Inspired and awe by her own rendition of Sunset Boulevard’s “ As if we never said goodbye”. I needed to watch the classic movie to fully comprehend each & every word in the song. Brava💐💐💐
0:16 End of Don't Cry For Me Argentina
0:53 I Don't Know How To Love Him
2:25 As If We Never Said Goodbye
5:50 Don't Cry For Me Argentina
this is true talent. this is real singing.. no screetching. no shouting .. just pure music and melody. :)
See its not about hitting stratospheric notes. Its about giving RESPECT to the song. Thats how singing or interpreting a song is done. Good job lea!
World class talent recognized from both sides of the London West End and New York Broadway.....truly magical when she sings!
She was born to sing,to give us a beautiful pure music. You are truly gifted Lea.
One of the greatest voices in the world. And now at 48, she still sings as perfectly as before!

This is one of Lea's most beautiful concerts. I can't even count how many times I've listened. Perfection!!
Her voice is out of this world!
WHAT A GREAT SINGER AND A JOY TO WATCH.
After my morning prayer, I listen to Lea Salonga s songs.That is how I start my day. thank God for giving us Lea !
Always the best, Lea Salonga has been a treasure not just of Filipinos' but of the world for she's inspired us all with her singing talent.. hope she'll last for a thousand years.
So many talented singers bring it to the top, but Lea consistently brings it over the top. Just marvelous. (and that is not a word I ever use)
The best voice all of the world !!
Lea i'm the big fan yours !
The best AS IF WE NEVER SAID GOODBYE i've ever heard - NO CONTEST
Beautiful woman, fantastic singer! She moves me always, Lea not only sings, she lives the music!
I lost it when she started "As if we never said goodbye."
Voice of an angel!
How could 79 people put thumbs down to something so beautiful? Thank you , Lea. Thank you, Andrew Lloyd Weber. Lea is just fantastic.
They are probably used to screaming,and don’t know what perfect singing sounds like.She’s magnificent
Both her voice and eyes are beautifully expressive to bring out the intended moods in ALW's compositions.
still at awe. how could someone be so perfect. truly God's blessings has no limit!
Kudos Ms Lea.
Her VOICE is FLAWLESS! THAT'S MY IDOL!
I swear Lea is my hero tied with Julie Andrews
Them, Angela Lansbury, Enya and Selena are my favorites!
They were in The King and I together, Ms. Salonga and Ms. Andrews were.
Yesss! I love them so much too
Same!
"I kept my promise" "don't keep your distance"
Ugh I love these lines.... Andre Lloyd Webber is awesome!!!
The person to be credited for the lyrics is not Lloyd Webber but Tim Rice
What a gifted young lady 🥰🥰🥰
As If We Never Said Goodbye. Wow. The best version. No one comes close. ❤❤❤
Lea's beauty is so simply beautiful so real with a voice of an angel...
she sings effortlessly beautiful! just wow!
September 2019 and still watching/listening in awe of this incredible woman. Love your voice (and that super cute dimple), Lea!
Classy. Always raising the bar..
She embodies the music and is a natural medium for this beautiful art form. Lovely to listen to, just a joy :-))
stunning singing, especially Don't cry for me... . Possibly the best version I've heard.
What an enormous range. Saw her in the original Ms. Sigone
listen to her for 5 mins......and shes got you......want to know what an angel sounds like ??.....hell she may be the LEAD angel in this world
Que bien canta esta maravillosa artista, es un regalo y un placer para el oido y una satisfación para la música, sencillamente Gracias LEA SALONGA
We only need one soprano to sing ALL the arias from Broadway, but she can be one place at a time. Brava Lea!
Es única, es la mejor interpretación que he escuchado amo a Lea es increíble!
Such a beautiful voice! She has full control of her voice!
so perfect in her craft, not even once she made a mistake even her rehearsals, musical genius.
she's the total entertainer. amazing talent. amazing woman.
Andrew Lloyd Webber is like the Phantom of the Opera- he has such talent and writes songs for Lea Solonga to sing, his Christine.
One of the most beautiful voices, ever!
what can i say... she has the class, an amazing talent, angelic and crystal clear voice, beautiful face... simply "THE QUEEN OF BROADWAY" !!!
BEAUTIFUL...THANK YOU....EVERY SONG MEANS SOMETHING SPECIAL TO ME. WHAT A MAGNIICIENT VOICE.
LEA daverves evray thing she got and still gets. That voice that face that shows the story to.
The voice of an angel. The face of a goddess. Unbelievable.

I get chills every time I hear her sing.

She has a great voice especially for Broadway/musicals.
I didn't understand the song "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" until I realized that she is talking to the country, not some girl named Argentina. And watching Evita (in Spanish class) was the first time I actually liked hearing it because I heard it way too many times on the same CD.
I love her voice, she's such a talented singer ❤️

Amazing Lea Salonga!!! Best singer ever from my own country, Philippines. She makes every Filipino so proud.=)
OMG, I'm speachless! Amazing! BRAVO! BRAVO!
i always fall inlove with your voice...
She's so delicate with the microphone. Whenever I use a handheld I have it in a death grip.
You do that when you and the mike don't take to each other.

Pure talent , Amazing
Dragonfox I will take one Lea to any 5 of your favorites, actress, stylist, personality, the whole beautiful package.

Breathtaking... her voice just sweeps you away with its passion and soaring notes! SO AMAZING! =D
And I would love to hear her sing Everything's Alright from JCS, just because its a beautiful melodic line and I think its underrated :)
LEA IS PHENOMENAL..
A delight to my eyes and ears. . .
i had shivers for the whole video; you are absolutely amazing :')
thank
you Lord for lea salonga
I love Lea!!
The fact that people can sing tells me that not everything in this world is bad. I mean, there are other things, but a person singing, actually singing, is one of the most amazing gifts for us.
She is awesome
Breathtaking...........
The problem I always had with Lea is this: If level 10 is perfection, then she's 11.5 😂😂
One of the biggest complement my daughter has received is from Lea in a master class. Lea said to my daughter that she was speechless and had no words for my daughter's performance. Wow.
ugh I love jcs, and she does this so well. I do love whoever plays Mary Magdalene in the 1973 version but at the same time if they did a remake she should totally do it
first line of "don't cry for me argentina" and i'm in tears
very smooth transition...i love her voice.
Beautiful Gift of Philippines!

How can anyone dislike ear candy like this? This is bliss!
I am watching this before i leave for my night shift. Inspired and awe by her own rendition of Sunset Boulevard’s “ As if we never said goodbye”. I needed to watch the classic movie to fully comprehend each & every word in the song. Brava💐💐💐
Lovely rendition
Beautiful . . . just beautiful -- inside and out. Such a 'Pride of the Philippines'
her voice sounds good even without the orchestra. she can sing a whole concert with a mic alone.
Viva, Lea! You are magnificent!
Simple outfit, special concert of broadway songs! Well presented!
Best performance of this song... ever!!
Amazing Lea!!!
