I'm so proud meeting you such early in my life.
Thank you. 😊
Yo youre everywhere
I saw u in many random meme videos.
Stop racism! Let's show our love to everyone!
Ikr why do asian get so much hate?!people need to know that we can't choose where we are born and if we get a choice to where we will be born, I would probably pick somewhere then asia
Same your ment to judge people on the things they can change not the ones they can not
Western will soon realize that Asians are the most beautiful, intelligence and talented people anywhere in the world. Chinese also Asian will soon surpass the US the super power of the west!

@@Ethanimations5334 people hate on Asians because covid originated in china, which is an Asian country, so people are blaming covid on Asians. And that's not cool.
When I was in high school choir, another member told me that I remind him of Lea Salonga. I'm half Vietnamese. When I looked her up, I found out she sang in my favorite childhood Disney movies and I was grateful for the huge compliment. I have admired her ever since.
I don’t understand, what’s wrong with being an Asian? I’m an Asian too ( Indian ) 🇮🇳Love from India to Philippines 🇵🇭❤️✨
So u hate being asian?

I am American and I think it is disgusting how people can't just ENJOY someone's talent and not bother with who they're or where they're from like see past colors and race people
Howdy i guess
there is no issue. This is a click baiting attempt!
*Because american is jealous and insecures to asian **#facts*
@@whathappened1737 this isn't the entire case. It's not that Americans envy Filipinos its because that asian hate was a thing long ago and as time pass more asians are getting more hate
Fun fact : Obama was once go to school when he was like 6-11 in Asia, specificly Indonesia 🇮🇩
I'm an American who moved to the Philippines and they LOVE singing here. It is one of their favorite past times. The first time I ever heard of Karaoke was on one of my earlier visits here before I moved here. In America we have a very strong critical attitude that means you must sing well or it is disaster. The attitude in the Philippines is "go ahead and try". And they have so many really great singers as a result of their openness to getting up and just giving it your best shot. In addition the girls here also soooooo cute! If Miss Universe Contest REALLY knew beauty the Philippine would win EVERY year! Lea has been around for some time now and still looks fantastic. They recently discovered another amazing singer here, Morrissette Amon (her dad was a big fan of Alanis Morrissette and so named his little girl after his favorite singer). If you want to be totally blown away by a song try the "Wish Bus" performance of Mori singing Akin Ka Na Lang (click on the captions cc button the lyrics are touching). listening to Filipinas like Lea and Mori sing is heavenly, and I'm sure that Filipinos who read this could add many more to the list of fantastic singers here.
can agree there's a lot of fantastic singers here but i cant name them all because there's just a lot-
Yes we LOVE singing even my little brother did
Yup, I agree. I'm 16, Filipino, and most of the girls in my class just keep vibing, singing to songs. While boys play the guitar or sing a long. It's a nice friend group
I am an American in America. I love Jona Viray. She is my favorite singer, and has collaborated many times with Morissette, who is 6 1/2 years younger.
I was in high school in the 80's and auditioned for Charity in Barnum. My drama teacher at the time set me aside and told me he would like to give me the part, but it was meant to be played for a caucasian woman. I told him I understood and was disappointed. Years later in college in the late 80's my dance professor in college asked me why I was not in a dance that he thought was right for me. I brushed it off and just told him I don't know. I did know and made no big deal about it. The dance was set in a medieval period. I didn't know about the race issues back then. Seeing Lea Salonga break the asian taboo in musicals made me proud of her and our nationality. Love Lea!

-Project Nightfall
Sounds debatable... But yes, Lea Salonga defied Race and Nationality. I took jobs reserved for White Men only in over 10 companies. I also charge equal or higher than the wages of the White guys. This video is an insult to Lea Salonga. Because her Talent is above the Cheap Drama of Racism.
I didn't knew she was behind the voice of "reflection" and "a whole new world" but I've loved those 2 songs the MOST out of every other Disney songs!!
I WAS *SHOCKED*
Yes that's the eloquent and intelligent lea salonga. She started singing and performing on stage as a kid.

Fun fact: Philippines is the first with colour granted by the Americans to have its own representative and delegates in the US congress when the Philippines is their colonial territory before the African-Americans. They were amazed of the high intelligence of our Dr. Jose Rizal that they grant its reform advocacy that Spain failed to grant. #HappyPhilippineIndependenceJune12🇵🇭

I didn't have fun with this fact
Also worth noting: She played an epic Fantine and has my favorite rendition of "I Dream a Dream." in the 25th Anniversary concert. Her Eponine is legendary, but her Fantine performance gets overlooked. But really, how many people can say they were asked to play multiple roles in Les Mis?
Fantine made me think that Pantene shampoo derived its name because of Fantine's long hair. It sad though because she sold it because of her daughter.

Lea is very talented. She deserves everything,from awards,fame,to fans and etc. She's very powerful,her voice always shows emotions that were meant for the song. There's honestly nothing wrong about being asian, it's just that judgemental people are dominating the world. But I hope many people would keep standing up to achieve their dream no matter what their nationality is,I hope we could see more people like Lea.
The moment I first heard Lea Salonga's voice, I immediately fell in love. Even my mother adores her very much. I used to remember as a kid, a yodler when my mom woukd sing me to sleep. She would always sing songs of Ms.Lea Salonga. I am and forever will be proud to be a Filipino. Mabuhay tayong lahat.
Even I as a Malaysian know Lea Salonga and Regine Velasquez are Asia's song birds amongst many song birds in Asia.
The West should know, the era of Asia is coming back, AGAIN 😂❤️

@@tem9235 yep i just hope other countries outside Asia realizes that Kpop is'nt the only asian song out there

Sarah Geronimo is Asia's Pop Princess and a lot more.

Ironically, most of Disneyland located in asia, their viewers and consumers of their item are asians.
Then we must tell disney we want Asian representation.
It’s not Disney who rejected her. It’s broadway musical show who rejected her. Disney offered her 2 roles and She was named a Disney Legend in 2011 for her work with The Walt Disney Company.
Sam Shah You people are moronic. Disney is not the Issue here. The video said LES MISSERABLES, its a broadway show! Where Lea was cast to play 2 iconic Caucasian Characters!!!! Now imagine if a white Girl will be cast to play Kim in Miss Saigon! Also be informed Lea was sort of fired in Miss Saigon because of Asians who complained!!! The Asians wanted Lea fired. Why? Because they want the job for Americans.
@@Sherryn_ne I'm not sticking to Disney land though, I'm pertaining about the fame she made tru Disneyland and yet they have the guts to say 'she cant' just bec she's an asian
Disney is made by an antisemite.
So racism is pretty much around.
As an southern Asian this woman is a queen for being this amazing 🤩
I am a Filipino and I witness Miss Lea Salonga as not just the pride of our country but she's the pride of the world,her voice is legend so if you think you rejected her because she is an asian 1 believe Miss Lea will prove that her talent has no nationality♡
Why no one is talking about Mrs Lea's english accent, it is so perfect that even auto generated subtitles can understand without a mistake
I didn't know that accent is a big thing this days
@Geory Besana I remember in her younger days where Lea spoke in UK English accent, weren't she was made fun because of it? Who exactly put the standard of the perfect English in the first place? anyway? Americans from the USA? Wasn't English came from England? Does it really matter? And who really cares about English with American or 'English (as for England)' accent? So why would people bothered about Lea's English accent?
I agree. She speaks English well. Filipinos has a strong accent.

As a Filipino, it made me even more proud of my heritage and my color. We are all equal, we were all born the same way, breathe the same air, drink the same water. Color is just skin-deep.

Isn't it satisfying whenever we hear the word *THE Philippines* like the "the" is always part of it. And we are mentioned for a good reason..
Why is the Philippines usually called "The Philippines"? Because the Spanish referred to their colony as “Las Islas de Filipinas”. When the Americans came, they translated the colony's name to “The Philippine Islands”. After independence, it was shortened to “The Philippines” - A random Quora user
I didn't know it was not satisfying. However, Americans do that with other countries too like The Netherlands or The UK, so it's not a solo case.

That one asian racist: I hate asia

(Not knowing anime is from a country named japan that's also asian)
True
Yup, they're racist, no doubt
But even though anime is an asian cartoon, they should know better who they're looking up to. Japan in the past went battlefield in WW2 in southeast asia, even my country was ruined because of them (I've heard a lot of stories in my family about them, there are soldiers walking at night in Ranau on the hills if you drive there)

Lea Salonga, a legend for us Filipinos 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Literally so many of my favourite songs were voiced by this amazing woman.
Lea's impact is evident when you watch the 10th anniversary concert of Les Miserables in 1995 and compare it to the subsequent concerts like the 25th anniversary in 2010. While both casts are stacked w/ talent, the former only featured one person of color while the latter had significantly more. Part of it is b/c those earlier productions wanted to reflect the story's setting: France in the 1800s. For adaptations of the stage musical in other countries, the casting usually reflects the predominant race of that nation (ex: Les Miz in Japan will naturally be mostly composed of Japanese performers). Mixed race adaptations outside of album releases (ex: 1989's Complete Symphonic Recording had an international cast since they don't need to be seen) weren't the norm on Broadway until after Lea's participation. Which was definitely an experiment given that her character's parents were played by Caucasian performers. Note that the 2012 movie adaptation stuck to the traditional way of casting.
I clearly remember learning that it was actually the time when Lea started performing on Broadway that the BLIND CASTING principle was introduced on Broadway.
We all know that all filipinos are proud of lea for not giving up hope
Its sad that she was judged by her race you should never judge a book by its cover cause under that case may be something amazing
You forget to mentioned when she played Ms. Saigon in UK, she won the The Laurence Olivier Awards. The first Asian also to won the prestigious award. Well, she is a legend, a pioneer in many classical music theaters.
