Thank you for your support!
here's a quote from Lea Salonga's interview where she talked about the struggles she faced as a person of color in theater back in the day and being the first asian actor to play Eponine in Les Mis:
"there is some expectation and i think i spent quite a few sleepless nights thinking, i am sure there are people out there who are just waiting for me to mess up just so they can say, "see, look, it doesn't work" so i really made sure i NAILED that song. like on opening night and on every night afterwards i was just driven to make sure to give no one any room to say anything negative about that." -Lea Salonga
honestly, she's ICONIC. paved the way to so many asian artists!!!
I just don'tuunderstand people with their bullying and racism. I wish I did because they need help.
Like in Miss Saigon, the character is Asian. But she said they were looking for a white female character to play Kim. That tells you how hard to land or get the job because of race.

What they don't realize or maybe they do is Philippino singers can sing better than a lot of anglo singers.
Alfie Bart dang
Bravo!
For me I consider Lea as the most intelligent Filipina singer. No question.
she's all about cleanliness ..... ♥♥♥
Yep yep and yep
She's one classy lady.
Same, along with Eva Noblezada.
I agree! ❤️
The only singer I know who sings with perfect pronunciation of words..
Her tagalog is perfect too.
Jessie Cuaresma the ONLY? 🤔
Her and Whitney...both perfect diction
Jessie Cuaresma Lea is a technical singer
Alberto Olarte yes ONLY
She is a Gem in Philippine Music. She is the original voice of Princess Jasmine & Mulan. She won in 1991 a Tony award for best actress in musical (Miss Saigon), a Laurence Olivier Award, Drama Desk Award & Outer critics circle award.
She is the original singing voice of Jazmine and Mulan.
Mario B. *Jasmine
You forgot THEATER WORLD which is very difficult to achieve/d because you only have one chance to be nominated in a debut role in Broadway if you don't win the nomination then there's no way to be nominated again.. In short a GRAND SLAM (in all of the award given in one season) for Miss Saigon leading actress in a musical. She's one of the few theater legends who can claim that.. Not even the great Patti lupone and Audra Macdonald.
Truly a remarkable musical legend! Ms. Lea Salonga has a bubbly personality; this techie/nerdy artist is really smart and intelligent. A Philippine legendary icon!
🤍🤍
I kinda remember Regine Velasquez once said that Ms.LEA'S voice is a pitch perfect and also most of the singers in the Philippines said that Ms.LEA SALONGA is the only one who has crystal clear voice and no doubt to that! Hands down!💖
Who needs subtitles when Lea is singing??? Diction and pronounciation is so precise!
she's the first Asian who won a Tony
ASIAN WOMAN
BD Wong and David Henry Hwang both received a Tony in the same year and share the title as the first Asian folks to win a Tony award.
*in an acting category
She also was awarded the Olivier Award that same year!
@@ramylopez02 she was awarded an Olivier when she was still in London, when the musical was first opened.
Yes, we Filipino knew very well that she's a pitch perfect, and she wouldn't allow other race to say something wrong about her that's why she makes sure that every performance is perfect. 👍💪💪💪💪
The best filipino vocalist and artist by a mile.
Some say Regine but Lea is just. . . ugh very good.
Lincoln Eyar Handsdown it’s Lea. Ask Regine. Regine knows Lea is the Queen.
It's LEA FOR SURE. NO DOUBT.
One of the great singer of all time especially in theatrical singing in the Philippines & the rest of the globe.
We love lea salonga very much🥰
Lea diction is so clear. Broadway Queen 💜💜💜 and her rendition of Dont cry for me Argentina is also sooooo goooood
Lea is a LEGEND. The reason why i loved singing, when I watched her Miss Siagon audition sinve then I was obsessed with her! until today. Ugh I'd lay my life for Lea. 😭
Pls react to her in 'A Little Fall Of Rain'
Wow!...u really are a good vocal coach sir yazik,coz u noticed it in such short period of time. Yes,shes indeed pitch perfect. And shes known for that. Many ask her that already and all she said was that since kid she was taught to always perfect pitch,she was trained for that.. And no wonder she won that TONY AWARDS.
She has new concert and she impressed the audience and got standing ovation. You might wanna check that. I just forgot i cant give u the link but its her very latest. Thank u
What does being perfect pitch have to do with winning a tony? She won Tony awards as best actress, Do you even know what tony is? lol. But yeah her pitch is perfect. 👑
@@ejaydona *best performance in a musical. And that includes both acting and vocals.
@@aryastark9249 Gurl. No one is judging the vocals when it comes to winning a Tony. Lmao!!!!!!
@@aryastark9249 Y'all don't even watch the award show and it shows...
Sige ug lalis mga singer mo? Appreciate Lang, walay nega nega diha!!!
She is really known to have that ear in music hardly ever out of tune. Her audition for Ma Saigon is so magical at 16. Ypu can check it out in You tube
She is pitch perfect and she pronounces the words clearly!
@4:40 Natawa ko dito "Guys have you noticed that she's pitch perfect?! Like there's no slight under or sharp note. This is awesome like... IT'S LIKE ROBOT." Hahahahha that's how amazing her control is, not human!!
I watched in one of her interviews that Lea works very, very hard to perfect her pitch and intonation - because being Asian, she is always inclined to prove to doubters that she can do it. She needs to show her Western colleagues that she deserves the role offered to her because she has the talent and will to do it.
I've seen this clip a million times yet still getting those goosebumps til now. haha! to say "I love her" is an understatement! She is definitely a gem!
Regine Velasques said once "Hindi ako pitch perfect. Walang pitch perfect. Si Lea Salonga lang ang pitch perfect.". In English translation, it means "I am not pitch perfect. No one is pitch perfect. Only Lea Salonga is pitch perfect." So you're right once again. She is pitch perfect. I really love your reaction videos. Lots of love from the Philippines.
I’ve always loved the clarity in her voice as well as her vibrato.
She is pitch perfect! No wonder she was chosen to sing the SEA Games 2019 official song, you might wanna react to that too
Aside from Ms. Tara Simon, you Yazik are my favorite vocal coach reactors. Simply because you and ms. Tara are the only reactors thats says that KZ tandingan has C range in her Rolling in the deep performance (singer competition). Aside from that you explain that just because you dont have higher range doesnt means you cant be a great singer. Its a matter of technique and how you utilise your voice like kz did in her performance.
As a layperson, your review is is succinct and comprehensible. It clearly explains why Lea Salonga is a musical theatre artist nonpareil. Thank you 😊
Same reaction to Tara at the mixing part that Leah did, same reason too because of them taking good care of their voice for theater that have a multiple show a week
thank you for appreciating musical theatre!! we do almost everything live and you just gotta act, stay in character, and sing well all at the same time i love doing it ❤️
Truly she's a legend in musical theater.. Thanks for this. Love from philippines❤️
Now I confirmed that you are such a legit and a very technically note to note detector because you got the same thought with Regine Velasquez at this part 4:40 about the perfection of the pitch that Lea Salonga has.
I like it when you said Kamusta 😊 Filipino here. Been watching your Video Reactions to my Fave singers for a week now! Thank you for the videos! More power to your channel! ❤️
You are the 1st reactor that I've watched so far that appreciate musicals. I totally agree with you and I so love Wicked!
Her diction clearer than my future and her mouth is wider than my future😂
Hilarious!
Same
haha
Hehe copypaste
😂
Yes Coach Yazik, Lea Salonga is Pitch Perfect. She is the Pride of the Philippines. She is the first Asian Tony & Sir Laurence Olivier awardees & many more international awards. She the Disney Princes & also Broadway Star. Pls. react to her version of Don't Cry for Me Argentina, Lea has a very clear voice. Thanks fr. Manila.
lea is a filipino treasure... shes a legend💖🇵🇭💖 we do really love her and all her achievements are also our achievements😊😊
at bakit
wlang madaming marunong kumanta sa dun pag dito madami kaya dun nalng sya dapat wala sya lugar sa pinas haha
@@phillippascion6844 There are many really good singers here in our country but Lea at her age is still the most technical singer. She beats all of the mainstream Filipino sopranos in terms of supporting upper belts.
"Dont cry for me Argentina" is stunning..!!!Please react soon..
Lea is a literal gift from the heavens. Filipinos pride her as our greatest asset abroad and domestically. She needs to age up to 200 years and continue to be a force that she is now!
What a great reaction! You seem like such a sweet soul and your look is everything. You brought technicality without loosing feeling and emotion. Keep up the good work!
The legendary Lea Salonga! A world-class talent (singing voice for Princess Jasmine and Mulan) and a Broadway actress (Miss Saigon, Les Mis, etc.).
I believe she set the standard on how "On My Own" should be delivered~ soo amazing
Her singing gave me chills. Havent felt that in a long time till I listened to this one. Great performance
Very nice and detailed reactions. thank you Yazik. Love from PHI 🇵🇭
She is really my favorite singer here in the Philippines. Her diction, pronounciation and enunciation are excellent. She is really is something. Love you Ms. Leah Salonga 😘
Yes please..react also to her version of "Don't Cry For Me Argentina"...
Thanks😚😘
Pitch perfect. Even Ms. Regine Velasquez admittedly said that about her.
Doing that broadway performance many times a week, it's hard to be always pitch perfect.
Regine salutes Lea for being the artist that Lea is coz singing at least 8 to 9 times a week in London or New York is not a joke. Plus to stay in perfect pitch everytime she acts, sings, dances, that's very hard! I actually haven't heard Lea miss a note. Even if she is not the biritera type, she is always in tune! 😊
Yazik you are my pill during this pandemic... I can watch your reactions all day till my phone run out of battery... Love love
Hi! Thank you :) I'm really glad 🤝💪💪💪💪😇👋
@@YazikReacts 😱😱😱 For real? You are real !!! Thankyou... Keep inspiring we'll be just here supporting... Keep safe always...
fascinating reaction...we all love Lea and you just gave me 10 more reasons to love her.
A friend of mine got me a free ticket when we are in New Mexico... it was a majestic opera house first time I’ve ever seen in my life ... that night I can’t relate to the songs, acting and multiple performances but I am pretty simply amazed how the backgrounds transitions...I was not getting the actual juice of music but I was really not into musical I don’t know why, but lately watching soap opera now opening my inner being how beautiful the sounds in my ears ... it actually help calm me down and release my stress.
She said once in her interview that she is pitch perfect. So much talent!!!
Congratulations yazik, I remember when I subscribed it was just a little over 5k, now it's 80k, that's amazing 🙏☝️✌🏻🤟❤🇵🇭🤩
Amazing, Ms. Tara simons says also that Lea is mixing in that part for the reason that it doesnt exhaust your voice. As broadway musical plays runs for along period of days. Mixing their voice really helps the singer not tire their voice. Amazing Coach.
Please react to her singing " DON"T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA" in one of her concert. And her duet with Josh Groban. So good
darn it! she's out of this world! 😍😍😍😍😍💗💗💗❤️❤️❤️
I hope Yazik would be one of the judges to those popular international singing competitions X Factor/American Idol or better yet come here in the Philippines and be our judges.
I would love that :) it would be a dream come true :)
true.
I always like the Miss Saigon, Sun and Moon. Even her audition for it was beautiful, even if she was being corrected on the key and tone. Her voice was beautiful.
yep Lea Salonga is the legendary Ms Pitch Perfect...
Great reaction and review. You dissected the performance part per part, down to every fibre in great detail. You have such a splendid musical ear. Please react to her I Dreamed a Dream next.
It's so beautiful when you clearly hear the lyrics & you understand the story of the song & I was like; 😭😭😭💖💖💖👏👏👏👏👏
Lea Salonga....... The next in line to receive the NATIONAL ARTIST AWARD.
Deserving!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
@Gilalfajardo6376 Lea absolutely deserves to be a national artist of the Philippines, but awardees need to be approved by the president (he/she signs the declaration) and Lea helped produce and star in a musical that was critical of the Imelda Marcos and the Marcos regime. Her son (the current president) is not going to approve her appointment as a national artist right now.
Yazik come over to the Philippines and let's all meet and sing together! You'll have a blast singing with ordinary folks here.
I have watched more than 100 times... les mis... from 1996 till date... I even memorised all the songs and still goosebump me... from university theatre to movie to broadway... I still in love with all characters from Jean to enroljas... but leah still one of my Eponine...
I love musical.. you can really feel the emotion . I dont know how to say but magical
Bravo Yazik, I am in awe of her wonderful voice also. Great review!
she is pitch perfect! she learned every note! my favorite is that "like" in "like silver..." that like is flying!
One thing why im addicted watchin your reaction is its informative.
Lea salonga is in the history of the Philippines
Yes, this was in 1995...it was for the 10th anniversary. I remember ‘cause I was at University when this came out. You really need to go watch her live in a concert hall. She’s come to Hawai’i several times and I my friends and I went to watch her a couple of times...simply impressive.
There is a video of Lea Salonga singing" I dreamed a Dream", recorded during the actual play (played Fantine) and she was intense in it. The quality isn't as great as this, obviously, but I still got goosebumps. Hope you check that out.
Musical theatre singers don't get as much credit as they should esp considering they have to perform these songs live with full emotion while acting out the play for 2 hrs, 8 shows a week. the best ones just can express the emotions so well and evoke feelings from the viewer so effortlessly and you find yourself hanging on every word and every note..
Lea is indeed the favorite of these vocal coaches here in YT. No questions with that. Kudos Yazik!
She's classically trained since a very young age....Regine and other Filipino singers have relative pitch, but Lea and only some few have absolute pitch.
Lea is perfection to the bones.
Yazik is ♥️♥️♥️. Very sharp hearing, I love those ears!
Her Diction is clearer than may FUTURE..
So much Respect to Ms.Lea
Yes, she is pitch perfect! That’s is where she is known for.
i understand all the words. pitch perfect and voice is crystal
Yaz! That performance was perfectly executed without reservations 🤣
Yes she has a perfect pitch. You should watch her audition as Kim in Miss Saigon. She was really praised. It's also on TH-cam
That when I fell in love with her and her voice.
Here you can hear how perfectly she sang that. Whoaaaa.. Always love her😊😊
That's why I keep watching your reaction...as always,good job bro!
Lea Salonga is a very well respected singer. Her diction and vocals are crystal clear. She’s an expressive singer.
One of my favorite performance of her here on youtube is her version of "Don't cry for me Argentina'" from the musical Evita. Do check it out. Yes, she's known to be a highly skilled technical singer and for her crystal clear, pitch perfect voice.
Sun and Moon by Lea and Simon Bowman after 25 years
Other popular veteran singers (Regine Velasquez and Lani Misalucha) are reluctant to judge singing competitions because they say that they only have relative pitch, while Lea has Perfect Pitch, making her a perfect judge for The Voice Philippines.
Leah is perfectionist when it comes to singing before she started Miss Saigon and part of her training. She is a pride of the country.
Hi Coach Yazik😍👋 from the 🇵🇭 Mabuhay!😄
she sang with the legendary julie andrews in King and I back in the 90,s.thats how good lea to be recognize by the producers.
Kindly react her version of "Don't cry for me Argentina".
Thanks for reacting to our Lea ❣️👍♥️ ♥️♥️
Like it when u sound like an expert explaining technical music stuff. ❤️
Please react to her singing "I Dreamed a Dream" on the Les Misérables 25th Anniversary Concert.
Man, she’s a freaking Queen! 👑
Wow you’re a pitch perfect too
I’m a professional commenter from the Philippines haahahahha

Hey Yazik, check out Lea Salonga audition song for "A whole New world" with Brad Kane. They did the song in one take. There is a youtube video of it.
you should also check their performance of A Little Fall of Rain from the same production. It was very emotional huhu i loved it
That is Lea Salonga
She perform no mistakes but only perfection.
Yes, she's simply the best. This is probably the only version of the song I like. And I love your comments. I like it when you search for the right keys on the piano for those different notes. 👍
You can write the lyrics just by solely listening to her singing.
Of course, Dancing Through Life!!! 😍
She’s famous for being pitch perfect and in the original cast of Miss Saigon ipthere were rehearsals where only she was on pitch :)
She has been doing that her whole career.
❤️💙💜💖💗💘
Please do more reactions of Lea😘
She won grandslam as miss saigon in the US.... First time in history that asian won those prestigious awards before her stint as eponine in les miz....
What a very clear voice...legendary...
Btw you so cute yazik..
I love leah salonga her voice
