Yes. Everything you say is true. You could hear a friggin pin drop during Fall of Rain except at the end you could hear the snivelling ... And I thought in my mind she was so fixed as Eponine, then I saw her as Fantine and she convinced me all over again. She was mesmerising!
I did not know anything about Miss Salonga at the time I went to see Miss Saigon, but after seeing her life on stage, it blew me away, have been a fan ever since! Great memories!
Lea has one of the most precise pronunciations on Broadway, she's a little famous for it. Her enunciation is ALWAYS flawless, it's been that way since she was 16 in Miss Saigon. There's a reason she's the only one who's voiced two Disney princesses: she's not just one of the best voices on Broadway, she has some of the best technique in the world. Watch her jaw. Her shaping is impeccable. Her pitch is impeccable. And it''s so sustainable. Decades later, she can still make these sounds. There's a GOOD reason she's legendary on Broadway.
Part of the reason for that is because when she was auditioning for the role, she was under alot of pressure to be perfect since she was one of or the onlt Asian auditioning for the role. She said in an interview that many people wanted her to mess up the audition, that many were hoping she'd fail. There was alot of racism in musical theater back then.
"She's not in the room, she's not in the concert hall, she's at the place where the scenario is happening and for a moment, I was there with her too." Best commentary and description of Lea's performace on every role she play. She's always into the scene and into her character and she always drag you there with her performance! Very rare talent.
Lea has the effect on almost everyone. When she is Fantine and sings “I Dreamed a Dream” .. I can’t help but start crying. It’s beautiful and heartbreaking.
I've seen many productions of Les Miserables, and Lea will always be THE Eponine. Truly a spectacular singer. I always get goosebumps when I hear her sing this, too.
Lea is one of the many Filipino singer/performer who is world class and a Filipino pride. Thanks for featuring her in your channel.. hope you will feature more Filipino talents. God bless 🙏❤️
The reason why she is a disney legend, more fascinating voice as she age gracefully it did not change, everything from prununciation, the high and low intonations etc so nice to hear and watch her performances inspiring
Every time lea sings, i get emo and my tears flows.i get into the character's emo.I love lea.The pride of Filipino The first asian to win the Tony's and Oliver's best actress pergormance.
I've probably watched this a 100 times, and I still get emotional every time. Lea is an incredible talent. I don't believe it gets better than this.........
Greetings from Phil ! Gained another subscriber cause of this reaction ! Thank you for this, am a huge fan of Miss Lea Salonga an icon / legend ! I get goosebumps too watching this performance and never get tired watching. Incomparable artist performer. Superb and her crystal clear voice was way clearer than my future ! 🙂 Proud Filipino here ! God Bless and more power !
The dream cast. 10ht Anniversary concert is the best thing ever. I've seen de dvd like one milion times. Every performance is amazing. The best Eponine, the best Francine, the best Marius (his Empty chairs...), the best Javert and, of course the best Valjean.
@@HofTheStage yes, same thing with all the actors in that concert. Michael Ball IS Marius, Colm Wilkinson IS Valjean (actually both were on the original cast, they created the characters). Really, you should watch the full concert if you haven't donenit, plus, is a dramatized concert, so it's almost like watching the play... but with the best cast possible!
You are right! I saw Les Miserables live in theater, 10th Anniversary Concert on DVD and 25th Anniversary Concert on digital. 10th Anniversary Concert is the best!!! Colm Wilkinson is the best Jean Valjean.
@@otherJim yes, I saw them all too, also the play in Barcelona and London and, last summer, in London again, Les Miz in concert with Michael Ball, Alfie Boe, John Owen-Jones... It was SO amazing, but nothing can top 10th anniversary concert!
That "I need a moment" part of your reaction where you had to stand up..Yes... Leah's singing has that effect on people. I had the pleasure of watching one of her concerts and she's just incredible. Her songs are like storytelling. It doesn't matter if you know the song or not, when she's the one singing it, you will to "experience" the song it all it's glory. What an artist!
I'm glad you got to see this wonderful performance. I actually heard Les Miserabe from an audio cassette in high school and Leah Salonga's voice was so captivating and mesmerizing without even having to see the broadway play. She's sweet!! I hope you heard her work in Miss Saigon as well! Effortless!
When you said you had goosebumps on your back.. like literally Me too, and it's possible.. you don't know how many times I've watched her performance, and goosebumps always gets me
Thank you for finally reacting to Lea Salonga's perfomance of 'On My Own' for the 10th anniversary of Les Misérables! I remember asking you to react on this and, as you now know, it is worth watching and listening to every second of it. I have watched this performance for the nth time and, just like the first time I've seen it, I get goosebumps each time. Lea is truly a rare gem! I had an opportunity to watch her perform as Kim in Miss Saigon in Manila back in 2000 - and she was AMAZING!!! (You can watch the entire 2.5-hour show here on TH-cam on your spare time - Miss Saigon is a must-watch.)
I’ve watched your reaction since your subscribers were about 133k and still watching now. Sooo good to watch you being technical and appreciating PH’s pride. Thank you! 🙏🏼👍🏻
I don’t like musical theatre. I’ve been to a few and I just don’t like them. I’m not sure why, but I love this performance. I watch it over and over and it never gets old and depending on the day it makes me cry.
In her audition for Miss Saigon, she asked the director (I think) to sign a Les Mis playbill. She was only 18 years old, and decades later, she was in the dream cast!
I have been a big fan of Lea Salonga since I was a child. She is a few years older than me. I can relate to you about having goosebumps when she sings. I even get emotional at times. I am very proud of her.
Bravo Lea. You sing pitch perfect & with clarity. This is stunning. Thanks Coach for your wonderful reactions & comments. Pls, react to her version of Don't Cry for Me Argentina & also The Movie in My Mind with Rachel Ann Go, another Filipina singer. Thanks & stay safe & healthy.
Even though this performance was after "Miss Saigon" it just proves that her Tony win for her role as Kim in that, her first big play/musical, was really so well deserved.
Lea Salonga... At age 7 already Musical Stage Theatre Singer Age 10 recorded her 1st solo album A Movie and TV actress and Hosted Her own Tv show. A Living Legend A gift of God to the Philippines to Uplift the Spirit of the Filipinos. Perfect Singer👏👏🙏🙏❤️🇵🇭😘
Les Misérables (but not the movie) has a lot of wonderful songs, you'll love it. Watch "Bring him home" from the same concert, but it is nicer if you understand the story.
Lea Salonga is Beautiful and very talented singer and theater actress and movie actress. She is great and amazing singer and has a very beautiful voice.
Lea, was an actress, singer, perfofmer, tv host ,judgest..she got house in U.S. and i philippines, her fagher was late Senator Salonga..she's original Miss Saigon, sing in broadway...

I saw Lea do this live in the theatre. I swear, the audience didn't breathe. One of my all-time favorite theatre moments. Yes, she's perfect.
Yes. Everything you say is true. You could hear a friggin pin drop during Fall of Rain except at the end you could hear the snivelling ...

Miss Saigon “I Give My Life For You”. She is singing to her little boy. OMG 😭😭
Please do this reaction video!
Her final audition stuff for Saigon is just unreal. It's unbelievable looking back and seeing 18 year old her, such a perfect voice.
AND I STILL BELIEVE. SHE'S SOOOOOOOO GOOD IN THAT TOO.
Ohhh!! One of my favorite song!! I almost commented that if i didn't saw this commenr
And she's just 18 there, but she really gave the message of the song
Lea has the effect on almost everyone. When she is Fantine and sings “I Dreamed a Dream” .. I can’t help but start crying. It’s beautiful and heartbreaking.
Her performance of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina " is great too.
Yas! 😭 I always listen to that when I’m sad.
Not
His goosebumps will surely be all over again haha
My God yes! That’s a staple in my music diet ❤️
Haven’t watched that. There is? Wow. Will find it.
Queen of Enunciation and Diction she is. 😁
Definitely very hard to do both of these well
Every time Lea sings english, the subtitles are always correct.
I've seen many productions of Les Miserables, and Lea will always be THE Eponine. Truly a spectacular singer. I always get goosebumps when I hear her sing this, too.
I grew up following Lea's career. She's the Annie of the Philippines. She's very intelligent. No dull moment when you talk to her, a true artist.

She sang it Perfectly and Clean👍🏻
Yeees
"I give my life for you" was too touching..i cried in tears. I love your reaction ❤️
I love her too, she's an amazing singer.
Her vibrato control is so deliberate but emotive and natural. That line is so fine.
I cry every single time I hear this version of the song. It is so incredible she is truly a theatre goddess.
I'm warning you right now. Les Mis is non-stop goosebumps, especially the 10th Anniversary, if you ever watch in whole.
I've probably watched this a 100 times, and I still get emotional every time. Lea is an incredible talent. I don't believe it gets better than this.........

He should also do her duet of A Little Fall of Rain with Michael Ball, her I Dreamed A Dream, and the Finale here as Eponine and the 25th as Fantine

Lea is the Queen of musical theatre!
Lea Salonga is now a Broadway and Disney legend and queen. She belongs to the all-time greats.
She sang this song when she auditioned for Miss Saigon in ‘88.
Even though this performance was after "Miss Saigon" it just proves that her Tony win for her role as Kim in that, her first big play/musical, was really so well deserved.
same here. been binge watching her performances and i always got a goosebumps as well
She is a Lawrence Olivier awardee, among other awards. It is so amusing to see people’s reactions who heard her with low expectations.
Every time I watch Les miserables, I cry. every singers are so amazing They are all artists
Beautiful performance in both singing and acting. She’s really great.
