Great Artists of the World 2011 Lea Salonga's Valentine Concert with the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra held at Queen Sirikit Convention Center Bangkok, Thailand
First of all, Lea has one of the most beautiful vocal tones a woman can ever wish for. Second, she's not straining. The power's from her diaphragm strength. If you look at her standing posture and the positioning of her jaw, everything was in the right places to deliver this song, showing us how much she KNOWS her stuff. You'd know that if you were a vocalist. Third, this is a musical number, it takes personal INTERPRETATION of the song to deliver it in its full context and Lea nailed it.
I know your comment is 6 yrs old, but I agree with it strenuously. I am a vocal coach and singer for decades in Chicago. From her debut in Miss S to this very day she is a beautifully trained singer. Every note is supported and she never runs short of breath. A beautiful thing it is. I love the video of her reunion with her leading man Simon Bowman. I saw the play 7 times between New York and Chicago. I have also watched her audition video a zillion times and always marvel at the look on Boubil's face when he realizes that they had found, at long last, their perfect Kym.
In the midst of online bashers, fake news, trolls, and political turmoil, it's refreshing to hear an ethereal voice like Lea's. It somehow gives us hope.
Superb ang kanta ni lea salonga at s tatlo, s kanya ang may pinakamagandang boses, pero mas ramdam ko ung emotion tlaga kay elaine paige, lahat sila npakinggan ko, kahit nung gumanap c nicole, pero para sakin, kay elaine paige tlaga yang kantang yan, maiiyak k pag napakinggan mo, ramdam mo ung emotion ng matandang malapit ng mamatay 😔
Kim Grizabella Eponine Out of the many talented artists who may have portrayed these roles, only Lea does it the best with the perfect pitch, not a single note out of tune, with that crystal clarity of a voice.
Lea Salonga is an archangel on earth. Surfing through this parade of recordings is a tidal wave of technical and artistic brilliance. In these new renditions she out sings Elaine Page, Judy Garland, Judy Kuhn, (Pocahontas) and all others with an ease beyond the absurd. Looking for the greatest female singer ever? Its Lea Salonga first, last and forever.
I like so much Barbra. I think she's amazing. But... I think this kind of songs doesn't fit in Barbra's voice! I prefer a hundred of times Lea Salonga and other singers. (Even Elaine Paige)
When this show opened in NY I was there opening night. Betty Buckley played Grizzabella and was magnificent. I saw the show several more times in its multi-year run; including seeing Lea Salonga playing the part in London's West End (their Broadway). I saw many play the part including greats like Elaine Paige but until Lea Salonga I didn't think anyone would ever meet Betty Buckley as she would thro herself into the part so deeply. Then, hearing Lea Salonga, the part came to life again for me.
@@zilam98 I am 99% sure that Lea never played Grizabella in the West End - only in the Philippines. But Lea did sing Memory with Il Divo on tour in 2014.
Midnight Not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory She is smiling alone In the lamplight The withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan Memory All alone in the moonlight I can smile happy your days (I can dream of the old days) Life was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Every street lamp seems to beat A fatalistic warning Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters And soon it will be morning Daylight I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustn't give in When the dawn comes Tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin Burnt out ends of smoky days The still cold smell of morning A street lamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning Touch me, It is so easy to leave me All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me, You'll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun
Isa to sa paborito kong version ng memory.kasi yung pinakagusto ko eh yung kay Dulce at Regine Velasquez pareho kasing powerful and soulful.Ngayon tatlo na ang favorite ko
Before, I was a 100% Barbra Streisand fan when it came to this song, but now I find myself splitting it up 50/50 between her and Lea. The amount of emotion that she puts into this song is amazing and inspirational.
As for me, I still prefer Elaine Paige’s performance (although I guess that perhaps the version in Cats and the one that Lea is singing in this video are different), but I agree that this is awesome.
I always love, when she sings in concert, she gets into character, especially if she's performed that character on stage. She IS Eponine, she IS Kim, and here, she IS Grizzabella.
She is really a legend! She sings beautifully n one can feel the emotion in the songs she sings Just love listening to her . i saw 4 of her shows in Broadway
Just to add a further comment wouldn't it be amazing if lea salonga had the opportunity to play grizzabella in cats or christine in phantom of the opera. I am a huge fan of elaine page but she cant match this peerless performance. Live from planet Saturn, ladies and gentlemen lea salonga. Her talent is not of this earth.
Try singing it. If you're not that good to sing then you don't have appropriate comments to judge her singing. She won't be a legendary singer if that's what you are talking about. I mean no matter what you say to her cannot put her down with all her achievements in her singing career. Over Acting? What's wrong with it? Or are you over reacting? You're being a crab. Poor you.
She's at the perfect age and professional point in her career to play this role and win this show... and they're getting a Pussycat Doll to do the revival??? Someone show me the logic!!!!
+Taka Ono Nicole has full control of 3+ octaves PLUS a whistle register. There are a few pop singers who have impressive classic abilities and Nicole is one of them.
+Taka Ono Have agree with Taka on this one guys. Nicole was great, and it was a surprise to see she could pull it off with aplomb, but Lea is streets ahead in terms of technique, tone, clarity...
Technically she is sublime and her voice is simply to die for but emotion, for me, is a little lacking. She has emotion but.....not quite enough? Anyhoo, I watch and admire her very much. =)
Again as her many song - Truly AMAZING! Such an soft and explosive voice at the same time full of emotions one of the best and mind you this shot is might be made by a camera phone not capturing the entire ambiance of the song.
hahaha! si lea talaga ang boring??? pdeng pangit lang ung pag ka-record? isip isip din... sana mapa kinggan mo sia ng live! she has a very powerful voice

I ascended to heaven and met god at 3:14 oh my lord i just keep on replaying it
Her voice rings like a bell; so clear and beautiful.
That's resonance. :)
@@Riri-oj1zs nah, that's her gorgeous vibrato :)
Somewhere in heaven, there must be an angel wondering, "Who stole my voice?".
Scott Ferris i like this 😂
This comment makes my heart happy
What more would you expect from the woman who provided us with the singing voices for TWO Disney Princesses?
@@Isildun9 ❤❤
I truly believe God gave Lea that gift......there is no stealing in Heaven.
She made this song more extraordinary. Goosebumps!
Most beautiful lady and unreachable voice no one out there better
Still the best!
2017 anyone?
ว้าว มาเมืองไทยด้วย ^^
her second time of that year...she came a year before in Broadway Cinderella...
She is queen.. Who else got goosebumps at the "touch me its so easy to leave me" part?
When Lea belts a high note, there's just this very amazing and natural vibrato that makes the song sound more and more extraordinary.
She has the most magical voice. Definitely my top favorite female singer.

She's amazing because she gets in the Character no matter when and where she's singing she feels it.
Watch the original Barbara Streisand ...❤

If Heaven is full of voices like hers, I'm ready to go, now.
I know they say nobody's perfect, but she makes it look like if it were wrong.
Hi
Well, she has perfect pitch. :)
@@Riri-oj1zs but having perfect pitch doesnt make you a perfect singer
She did that for herself and it's incredible
Wow. The spectrum of facial expressions--anguish, sadness, hope, joy... on her face is incredible (a performance in itself)--as is her voice--
She's astonishing
This is how I imagine an Angel would sound like 😂
Her voice is like a medicine. It cures.
A classic, yet clear voice. She has kind of a youthful voice, since she enunciates well.
Very good. This is a very difficult song to sing and not everyone can sing it.
Lea Salonga sings in a angelic voice.Brava!!!👏🏻🤩
What I love about Leah that she belts in a mixture of chest and head voice. It never sounds shouty which many singers do.
Elaine Paige, Barbara Streisand sang Memory. I find Lea Salonga's version the most magical, crystal clear and too angelic.
No
@@zoenightshade1737 You're stupidly ignorant shit!

@@sudeezudee9666 Can somebody disagree with your opinion without you having to insult them? That response says more about you than Zoe Nightshade.
Well i wouldn’t say that she’s at the level of those you’ve mentioned
she's really a great singer ever...she sings differently compare to any other singers! you're phenomenal Lea!
Kim
Grizabella
Eponine

Lea Salonga is the 1st Queen of Broadway. She sings in an angelic singing voice and she is the most famous singer of all the Philippines.
Watching in 2017. This girls voice is perfection!
A lot of other Filipina and Filipino singers that have not been heard yet in the US. Salonga is ab fab!
Theodore Biele I got to see Lea Salonga live at a fundraising concert. Truly incredible.
Girl? She’s close to 50! She’s amazing - that’s true ❤️‼️
world-class Filipina singer =)
true parekoy

wow sobrang galing mo talaga Miss Leah idol talaga kita👋👋👋👋👋🙏☺️❤️❤️❤️
Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile happy your days (I can dream of the old days)
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The still cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me,
It is so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me,
You'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun
W
Wwju uuj
She's amazing because she gets in the Character no matter when and where she's singing she feels it
BRAVO , BRAVO What a great singer she is !!! One of the best if not the best female singer ,
She's sooo amazing. I really want her perform the show in Thailand again.

Bella, molto bella!
Kim, Jasmine, Eponine, Fantine, Mulan, Grizabella.......Lea Salonga!
WHAT GIVES HER THE RIGHT TO SOUND SO AMAZING??? I love her voice so much. Can’t imagine a world without it.
of course she'll never be barbara because she is Lea freakin' salonga!
Her tone of voice and the way she carries the vibrato in it suits her well in broadway genre.
The most favourite version!!!! Listen till now, Awesome Lea!!!!
Nell' esecuzione della Paige c era la tristezza del passato nel ricordare ciò che era stato ...che non c'è più
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Lea Salonga is incomparable, she has her own unique style and interpretation no one can ever match. And her pitch and diction exceeds perfection!
OMG the best rendition i have ever heard!
Best “all alone” at 3:23 ever.
True
How’d she hit those low notes?
This is a such a legendary rendition. Can't believe I just heard it.
so looking forward to seeing her in Oct in Newcastle, what a singer. Love her voice. WOW
Wow! I used to hate this song. I am not sure why, But Lea sang it really wonderfully!
Always Perfect ms. Lea bravooo👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏.
Just to add a further comment wouldn't it be amazing if lea salonga had the opportunity to play grizzabella in cats or christine in phantom of the opera. I am a huge fan of elaine page but she cant match this peerless performance. Live from planet Saturn, ladies and gentlemen lea salonga. Her talent is not of this earth.
She already played Grizzabella before.
The Very Great Singer Filipina Lea Salonga Bravo !!! Amazing Grace FOR pilipinas Country Many Clap Hans.
wow! the angel is singing...
Wonderful voice and great song

Though Barbra's version is my favorite, Lea Salonga gave justice to the song.
She's at the perfect age and professional point in her career to play this role and win this show... and they're getting a Pussycat Doll to do the revival??? Someone show me the logic!!!!
Taka Ono FYI, Nicole Scherzinger killed it. listen to her version, then read your own comment, just don't delete it afterwards.
+Taka Ono Nicole has full control of 3+ octaves PLUS a whistle register. There are a few pop singers who have impressive classic abilities and Nicole is one of them.
+Taka Ono Have agree with Taka on this one guys. Nicole was great, and it was a surprise to see she could pull it off with aplomb, but Lea is streets ahead in terms of technique, tone, clarity...
Taka Ono 😂😂😂😂
Taka Ono she is an angel!!!
Video quality couldn't ruin Lea's crystal clear voice
Lea sings with emotion and power, her voice range is amazing
I seriously need a better version of this. Itunes, RUclips Music and Spotify all failed me.
Lea Salonga is extra ordinary. She is perfection. Great respect to her talent.
Incomparable to anyone... My favorite singer since we were 10 yrs old...
goose bumps :)
Flawless
WOW!!!
When Lea sings, you FEEL the song, not just hear it!!!
Technically she is sublime and her voice is simply to die for but emotion, for me, is a little lacking. She has emotion but.....not quite enough? Anyhoo, I watch and admire her very much. =)
Thank God. Listening to her is more pleasant (although I like Barbra a lot, to).
I've loved her ever since I heard Reflection. That, and Memory have become two of my life songs.
It’s. So. Perfect
Again as her many song - Truly AMAZING! Such an soft and explosive voice at the same time full of emotions one of the best and mind you this shot is might be made by a camera phone not capturing the entire ambiance of the song.
Ang gling mpo idol leah idol kita
She is extraordinary singer and sing beyond the originals. Fantastic amazing voice.
God bless you Lea Salonga amen thank you
she sang and all of the acne on my face cleared. I hear doctors across the planet yelling because she cured cancer
hahaha! si lea talaga ang boring??? pdeng pangit lang ung pag ka-record? isip isip din... sana mapa kinggan mo sia ng live! she has a very powerful voice
Lea's voice sounds tough but you can feel so much sadness. I don't know if it makes sense. I just Looooveee it!
3:14 might as well get the tissues
A MUSIC LEGEND
I can imagine the joy of the orchestra
Best singer of all time
2:43
The build up is beautiful and then the crowning moment at 3:14
A perfect song for Leah.
My gosh lea,you literally took my breath .your so ..damn good
WOW. That voice, that stage presence. She amazes me every time I hear her sing. Incredible, brava Lea!
Super power,love you Ms Lea Salonga
