Back when Miss Saigon was on Broadway in first run I flew to NYC from Chicago to see her. Being blown away I got a single ticket for the next evening's performance. I saw it again when the show stopped in Chicago probably with a new Kym. In all, I saw the show 7 times. Needless to say I absolutely adored her and the show.
Dan McGlaun I don’t think it’s the fault of the pianist as well. It’s just that there is no space for an actual orchestra to perform here. The pianist is trying to replicate all the relevant sounds for the piece, including the supposed sounds of violins and other instruments. We’re just not used to it, that’s why it sounds odd.
She automatically falls into character when she sings this. Like an angel rising out of the mist. A wonderful performance, like I could ever expect less. Bravo Lea.
i love everything about you Ms. Lea Salonga! Continue to be a blessing and a good model to the youth. I always watch your shows and listen to all your songs, i love you and i hope to see you in person in FUN HOME Manila this November 2016!
What a fantastic singer, her emotional singing of this song is unbelieavable. I had never heard of you Lea but I will look for you from now on. My name is Bob from Australia
Listen to the clarity of her pronunciation coupled with her cultured voice.Grabe super galing. I hope she will now be awarded the National Artist not at her old age. Now na
Lea is, as usual, GREAT. Those who comment against the pianist are so criticizing, yet, only excel in, none other than, criticizing. Guess the nationality most of these ones? Mahabaging langit, matuwa nalang kayo masyado kayong nagmamagaling!
World class performance, respected by all artists and love by her fans...she deserves all the blessings l. Thank you for sharing your God given talent to the world
There was a time when men were kind When their voices were soft And their words inviting There was a time when love was blind And the world was a song And the song was exciting There was a time Then it all went wrong I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high and life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung, no wine untasted But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hope apart As they turn your dream to shame He slept a summer by my side He filled my days with endless wonder He took my childhood in his stride But he was gone when autumn came And still I dream he'll come to me That we will live the years together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms we cannot weather I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed

It's not fault of the actual pianist, you realize.... that's the written arrangement. The piano as an instrument just isn't the right match here, but it likely wasn't feasible to bring in an orchestral accompaniment for this event.
In my opinion the best singer in the world
Not just your opinion, not nearly just you.
@@RogueCylon she’s pretty much as technically perfect as you’d hope a vocalist to be
Yo la vi en Canadà en "Miss Saigón", inolvidable ! Genial! Maravillosa! Se me saltaban las lágrimas. Te acaricia el corazón con su voz!!! con
Judy Kuhn’s version is better. Check her TH-cam video.
Your opinion is wrong hahahaha shes very nasal cannot belt like a diva...shes just a broadway singer

It's a real talent to still shine and perform perfectly when your pianist sounds like he got the music sheet upside down.

The pianist is probably sight reading. Cut him a break

She looked so beautiful and perfectly sang the song. She's one singer you want to hear AND see perform.
Lea’s Tiger face was magnificent acting, best Filipina soprano in world.
🇮🇪
she is not a soprano
- - - alto- mezzo
@@clifordtinguha5012 having a higher voice doesnt mean better.
the tone, clarity, emotion, power, and most importantly the heart! WOW!
She not only sings the song, SHE IS THE MUSIC!!!
Taoist spotted
Lea Salonga nailed all the Broadway singers and performers in Broadway and West End theatrical history. Period...................👌
The clarity of her utterance of every words is so great . She has a very nice accent compare to most Americans ,she speaks so clearly !
Nobody can compares Lea Salonga the most beautiful voice in the world
Never a time i get bored listening to Lea... 😁
What a beautiful gift Lea has given us. Thank you for all the memories, and the many, many special evenings.
Her performance of this song here is head and shoulders above her on stage performance of this song in the 2010; 25th Anniversary concert....
i love everything about you Ms. Lea Salonga! Continue to be a blessing and a good model to the youth. I always watch your shows and listen to all your songs, i love you and i hope to see you in person in FUN HOME Manila this November 2016!

You will be amazed. You are now a fan. Look for her performances in Miss Saigon.
Thank you Bob, very cool!

Magaling super galing . What a voice. Wow! It’s perfect.
She's so amazing!
What a phenomenal singer this lady!
Listen to the clarity of her pronunciation coupled with her cultured voice.Grabe super galing. I hope she will now be awarded the National Artist not at her old age. Now na
Was I the only one who expected her to start singing "And now I'm all alone again" for a split second before she started?
hahaha Exactly what was running in my head.
Why so beautiful Lea! and the voice, oh my goodness!
I love it when you sing the tigers come at night. such energy.
I never get tired of listening to her songs! What a world-class performer! So proud of you, Lea Salonga! 💕💖😍👏

A role model. A legend a real princess. 😢 how i wish i could be as good as you. 😢
Wow!!! Her diction is so clear! 😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
After watching Anne Hathaway's version, this one Lea sang sounds so smooth to me.
They didn’t let Anne drink water, so I’ll cut slack
i just love everything in you Mss Lea Salonga.. your so blessed
Pride of Filipinos. Keep it on Ms. Lea
why so freaking beautiful Lea? damn
-kyna
Lea is, as usual, GREAT.
Those who comment against the pianist are so criticizing, yet, only excel in, none other than, criticizing. Guess the nationality most of these ones? Mahabaging langit, matuwa nalang kayo masyado kayong nagmamagaling!
Ms. Lea always makes the best vibrato.♥
No words can describe how much I love you
World class performance, respected by all artists and love by her fans...she deserves all the blessings l. Thank you for sharing your God given talent to the world
Truly perfect performance.
Certainly the very best in her Les Mis performance
What performance. Bravo!
How come you're so perfect?
Omg she was 36 here and yet looks like 18yo! You are the goddess of Theatre!
oh my god. Leah S forever!
She was already a multi-awarded Olivier and Tony many years back at that time.
Just fantastic Lea
I'm so proud to be a Filipino becoz Lea Salonga is my kababayan.
I can only hope the guy playing the piano reads all this comments. He is not playing, he/she is just thumping..
Spotless.
Pitch perfect
Ms lea your voice your beauty your attitude I like it
lovely....
I cry everytime I listen to her
Being in her 30s and having that baby face is crazy. She looked like she had just begun playing Kim in Miss Saigon.
Plus, she just gave birth at that time.
Perfect!
Except the pianist most annoying
magnificent!!!
There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
As they turn your dream to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed
Thank god there's no "who's still watching this year" comment!!!
Well, who’s still watching … it’s 05/11/2024!
the best fantine!
Bravo! Proud of you Lea👌❤️
Lea hit the gas towards the end. Exceptionally strong finish
Bellisima!
amazing
Wow brilliant
omg goosebumps especially the "i swear i give my life" song. Will Chase is my fave chris then simon.
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I prayed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hopes apart
And they turn your dreams to shame
And still I dream he'd come to me
That we would live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream, I dreamed

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I dont think she ever had a bad note in her entire career
Lea = Queen
I dream a dream but it went wrong and shattered..
Palitan ko nga yung pianista kahit d ako marunong
*Just Lea showcasing her lungs of steel!*
There is always something wrong with the pianist whenever Lea performs.. the nerves getting theu the fingers my friend
The piano sounds out of tune.
What is the guy on the piano doing???
I don't quite understand all the comments. Sure, the piano is in poor condition, but the playing itself doesn't sound overly intrusive or out of time
Who needs lyrics for this song? 😁
Wow
Filipina Pride
Kung wala yung pianistang hindi maaanalyze na si Lea ay mabait pala sa mga may defective fingers.
She's perfect as always.. but the pianist is soooo annoying😒
Erich gonzales
Agree
All the dumb comments about the pianist... lol vocal performance was live.... instrumentals weren't wasn't and were clearly studio recordings.
The Piano was horrible... >:(
The pianist tho
😊
Who’s the pianist???????
Who was that annoying pianist?
Corry Shih lol. True
HAHAHAHA
It's not fault of the actual pianist, you realize.... that's the written arrangement. The piano as an instrument just isn't the right match here, but it likely wasn't feasible to bring in an orchestral accompaniment for this event.
Hahahahaha!!!
@@LoveLondon5 if it wasn't for this explanation, I wouldn't understand why the piano accompaniment is not that match to Lea's performance.
Lyrics
I would fire her stylist if i were the manager
Pianist cant play the piano with emotion its annoying ruining the song
White angel LEAH
fallen angel PIANIST
I disliked this. Not for Lea, but for the pianist.
Paloma Cristina true x100!
Truee
Agree. I hate the pianist here
The pianist is probably sight-reading. It's not his fault
Paloma C. A. , that’s a stupid reason.
I think the pianist's a kindergarten👌 LOL😂
how was she 36 here 😭
The people in the theatre seem to b a million times better than the people in the music celebratey world they have more soul
How old is she here?
Mid 30s
36
She looks like legarda in this video
What's wrong with the pianist 🗡 🔫
Im pissed with the pianist!
The piano is so terrible
The piano is horrible! Come on!
