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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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”.
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.
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
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.
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. :)
She was born to sing,to give us a beautiful pure music. You are truly gifted Lea.
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!
Her voice is out of this world!
One of the greatest voices in the world. And now at 48, she still sings as perfectly as before!
"I kept my promise" "don't keep your distance"
Ugh I love these lines.... Andre Lloyd Webber is awesome!!!

Voice of an angel!
The best AS IF WE NEVER SAID GOODBYE i've ever heard - NO CONTEST
The best voice all of the world !!
Lea i'm the big fan yours !
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.
This is one of Lea's most beautiful concerts. I can't even count how many times I've listened. Perfection!!
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.
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!
still at awe. how could someone be so perfect. truly God's blessings has no limit!
Kudos Ms Lea.
I lost it when she started "As if we never said goodbye."
Her VOICE is FLAWLESS! THAT'S MY IDOL!
What a gifted young lady 🥰🥰🥰
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)
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!
Classy. Always raising the bar..
Both her voice and eyes are beautifully expressive to bring out the intended moods in ALW's compositions.
she sings effortlessly beautiful! just wow!
Lea's beauty is so simply beautiful so real with a voice of an angel...
We only need one soprano to sing ALL the arias from Broadway, but she can be one place at a time. Brava Lea!
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
so perfect in her craft, not even once she made a mistake even her rehearsals, musical genius.
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
September 2019 and still watching/listening in awe of this incredible woman. Love your voice (and that super cute dimple), Lea!
She embodies the music and is a natural medium for this beautiful art form. Lovely to listen to, just a joy :-))
Beautiful woman, fantastic singer! She moves me always, Lea not only sings, she lives the music!
Andrew Lloyd Webber is like the Phantom of the Opera- he has such talent and writes songs for Lea Solonga to sing, his Christine.
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.
BEAUTIFUL...THANK YOU....EVERY SONG MEANS SOMETHING SPECIAL TO ME. WHAT A MAGNIICIENT VOICE.
stunning singing, especially Don't cry for me... . Possibly the best version I've heard.
One of the most beautiful voices, ever!
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.
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
Es única, es la mejor interpretación que he escuchado amo a Lea es increíble!
Pure talent , Amazing
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]
A TALENTED ONE...GIFTED ONE....PROUDLY ONE LEA SALONGA...
she's the total entertainer. amazing talent. amazing woman.
Such a beautiful voice! She has full control of her voice!
her voice sounds good even without the orchestra. she can sing a whole concert with a mic alone.
OMG, I'm speachless! Amazing! BRAVO! BRAVO!
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”.
she so preeeettyyy and talented
I get chills every time I hear her sing.
I love her voice, she's such a talented singer ❤️
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.
The voice of an angel. The face of a goddess. Unbelievable.
COME TO AUSTRALIA PLEASE !!!!!
i always fall inlove with your voice...
what can i say... she has the class, an amazing talent, angelic and crystal clear voice, beautiful face... simply "THE QUEEN OF BROADWAY" !!!
Wonderful!! Her singing is entrancing!
Lea is an epitome of a modern Filipina beauty and talent
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.

Lutgarda P. Espiritu same
thank
you Lord for lea salonga
She really does have the most exquisite voice
her singing takes my breath away!!!!
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 :)
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
Beautiful Gift of Philippines!
Breathtaking... her voice just sweeps you away with its passion and soaring notes! SO AMAZING! =D
Breathtaking...........
Lea, you are a legend! I always fall in love with you whenever you sing. I could have married you a thousand times! Respect to Kane.
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.
What a beautiful voice! Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote songs for “all time and all generations, now and in the future”! What a brilliant composer he is.
Dragonfox I will take one Lea to any 5 of your favorites, actress, stylist, personality, the whole beautiful package.
She is awesome
