She mentioned in one interview that although it wasnt a lead role ( comepared to Kim of Miss Saigon), she worked harder in playing Eponine because it's historically a "caucasian" role and getting that part is like banging your head on the wall repeatedly until it cracks open.
She has fantastic mouth movement and diction. I always appreciate a singer who can also act while singing a song. It's so much more believable and pulls you into the feeling of the song to evoke emotions. She is a true artist, very rounded.

You can react sir to their first rehearsal of the song A whole New world - Brad Kane & Lea Salonga, the original singers of this legendary song reunited after 23 years and sing this memorable song again. ruclips.net/video/8g75PViIRtM/видео.html
@@nickhiggsthesinger watch her in bed acting singing 'come to me' react her how to handle the situation and how she handle her sanity while singing it is jaw dropping. And also a little fall of rain
and it's about a half beat delayed/exhaled from the music, as if she's holding back tears because she's coming down to reality that she's on her own. 😢
I must admit during my first viewing of Le Mis' I was not expecting to like it as musicals are not my thing, but now this one is my absolute fav concert/musical,Lea is outstanding and she is easily my favorite vocalist in the show,does not go out of character at all and, for me,her voice is out of this world.
When I saw this show for the first time I didn't know a single song. I reacted to every song as you are doing here...I cried, and fell in love ....for me it is the perfect musical....and no-one sings this particular song as well as Lea... brilliant.
I am 38 now. I saw this performance/clip on a local news/documentary when i was a wee lil child in the Philippines and i remember CRYING not because of how good her voice is but how she really pulled off the EMOTIONS OF THE CHARACTER through the KEY NOTES. Incredible
25 years ago, when i was young, I was absorbed in musical theatre. I was obsessed with finding out how singers create the tone they have. Lea Salonga is a solid column of air and stance, if she hadn't her coat on, you'd see she stands like a tree, with an athletic posture. When she breathes, she fills up her lungsto the fullest, even the tips of her lungs and uses the air she has to sit on while releasing is controlled, like a pump, but gliding through it in all hights and colours of the text and tone.That's where the vastly open mvocal trract comes to play. She doesn't let it slip closed even once, which would be detremental because of the high pressure that would slam the vocal cords without the high amount of torsal support. It's a matter of high concentration and athleticism that produces this kind of beauty. I was shaken in tears whenever I sang it to myself or to others, it's intense. Please also check out Lea Salonga in Miss Saigon. The part where she decides to kill the vietnamese soldier/officer who wants to take her child from her is one of the strongest moments of all musical theatre recordings. That musical made Lea Salonga immortal in my opinion.
Yes, yes, I agree with you every single word! I'm from China and I still remember the first time when I heard this song by Lea Salonga, it was when I was 17 years old. I bought a DVD of this 10 years anniversary version of Les Miserable and I fell in love with this musical instantly. Back then, my English was terrible but it doesn't affect me understanding the plot, the character's feeling through Lea's performance. Her version of this song is THE BEST of all time in my world! Also, it's very difficult for a non-native speak to pronounce so clearly, let along it's a musical performance. I know that later on she also played the character Fantine in this musical, but I still think this role Éponine fits her the most. I'm so glad to find your video. Absolutely love it! Thank you so much!
Beautiful vid Nick. I have seen Les Mis live 3 times and I actually saw Lea Salonga live in London in Miss Saigon many years ago. A true star. And speaking of tissues, I am getting ready to go perform in Considering Matthew Shepard tonight and tomorrow afternoon.
I've been a fan of Lea's forever. Thanks for reacting and commenting on this magnificent performance. Please react to more Lea performances! Just a few of my favorite Lea performances (I have tons): --Lea and Michael Ball singing "A Little Fall of Rain" from the LES MISERABLES 10th Anniversary concert (1995) --Lea singing "Via Dolorosa" with the US Military Academy Cadet Glee Club of West Point (on an album released in 2005) --Lea and Josh Groban singing "The Prayer" at his concert in Manila (February 2019) --Lea rehearsing "I'm Still Hurting" (I'm pretty sure it was a concert from January 2013) --Lea and Rachelle Ann Go singing "The Movie in My Mind" from the MISS SAIGON 25th Anniversary concert (2014),
I love your reaction to Lea's On My Own performance! I was so lucky to have seen her as Eponine on Broadway. Please react to her performance of A Little Fall of Rain (with Michael Ball as Marius). I cry buckets on that every time. Thanks!
Lea is so amazing, nothing she does ever surprises me. But I have seen this performance several times and it still gets me every time. I don't think there is anyone on Broadway who sings better or more character-wrapped.
Clear enunciation, tons of pure emotion, flawless transitions and always on character. Pay particular attention to her body language (arms, eyes, mouth) pairing with her voice tone as she goes from her "happy" imaginary world to her "sad" reality. This video should be played at all Musical Theater schools around the world.
never breaks character as soon as she stood up and walk up to the mic. aside from the musical perfection, you literally can feel the character's hopes and despair as she sings Eponine's heart out.
Appreciate how much you love this phenomenal performance... several months ago, I watched another reaction, from a Broadway singer, who complained that this is such a 'old-fashioned' way of singing that wouldn't work on today's stages, that it should be belted out. Nah... perfect technique, emotion, acting? I'll take that any time. Thank you for this.
Thank you! It’s certainly not my place to critique someone who isn’t asking to be critiqued. I just like to help people understand why some performances are so good 🙂
oHh I cried again, for me, she is the best Eponine! A legend and icon, the only one who sang two singing voices for Disney and for her role in Miss Saigon, the only Filipina, Asian or a person of color to have received best performances in Olivier and Tony awards. And then I learned new things and tips again in singing (pls make no mistake, am just a singer in my home, for the love of music hahaha). It' okay to cut the music video review from time to time when you see something worth sharing because that is educational, besides, I am so enchanted and disarmed by your gorgeous face and knowledge of music, spontaneity, sincerity, humility and honesty to share your talent, you are just lovable, how can i not fall for you.. hahaha stay safe, sweet and charming,
I love that you break the performance into pieces, and sort of "dumb it down" a bit so those of us who didn't grow up in musical theater can better understand. You really know what you're talking about so bravo to you! And brava to OUR Lea Salonga! Love from the Philippines!❤
Enjoyed your reaction! Her phrasing is impeccable-including where she chooses, or chooses *NOT* to take a breath. I laughed when you started nodding your head. 8:11
I've just seen Lea Salonga live in Stephen Sondheim's "Old Friends" at the Gielgud Theatre in London. She was very good, and sang a couple of Mrs Lovett's songs too!
I love Lea! And i love your reaction! Very educational/informative. I’m sharing this video to my daughter, so she can learn the techniques you mentioned (she’s learning how to sing properly - technique, etc.). Thank you for reacting to Lea’s performance, as well as for sharing your knowledge. Bless you!
"A world that's full of happiness that I have never known". When Lea sings the lyric of known here it is one of the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. She is great in the whole song. I first heard this song in 2003 and wish I would have heard sooner. Better yet would have been to here it live. I am full of happiness every time I hear her sing.
brilliant nick. i like the way you invested with the details of the song and bringing effects of the video that helps us understand your review. well done. just brilliant
Thanks so much for doing this tutorial. Whilst I once again thoroughly enjoyed hearing Lea Salonga sing this beautiful and very moving song, I learned two things from you that will enhance my singing. I only discovered I had singing voice seven months ago (in my 60s and am now wanting to sing to make up for lost time. 👍
❤❤❤hi nik from Philippines it's my no 1 fav singer Lea proud today Filipino are very talented.. I am singer too.. she's word famous singer so amazing voice specially in theaters so the best we can cry when she sing.. thanks for reaction.. react her other songs a whole new world and reflection tanx more power on your chanel❤
I commented this in the actual video (or one of them). I'm glad that when she sings "...a world that's full of happiness that I have never known...", she doesn't SCREECH the word "known" like so many other performers do. She makes it powerful and strong without having to sound like a banshee. It just sounds so horrible and ruins the song when they scream that word like that. This particular performance of Salonga's in the 10th Anniversary concert is my favorite version of this song. Edit: The performances on this 10th anniversary concert -- SO much better than that god-awful movie.
This, along with David Phelps doing O Holy Night, Jona doing Over the Rainbow, and Sohyang doing Bridge Over Troubled Water, all live and available on RUclips, are four of the most amazing live performances I have ever heard.
sohyang sounds like a tin, it's annoying to the ear. Im not a fan of her, the quality of her voice is not good for my ear. And she sounds like she has a cleft palate. Pronunciation and enunciation is bad
Hey newbie here 😊 thank you for reacting Lea Salonga 😊 Please do react with her performance “Don’t cry for me Argentina” it was a beautiful performance of her 😊 waiting for your next video reaction 😊
I've watched this video many many times. No one can beat Lea Salonga on this superb performance of her. She was indeed very talented when it comes to broadway singing. Love her so much.
I was lucky to be in the audience at the O2 in London when Lea did this amazing performance. She is out of this world. A lot of great performers at this concert but this is the only time I ever saw Lea Salonga. Incredible
I loved this review. I'm a fan of the Samantha Barks version. I love her voice and her use of limited vibrato (compared to many other singers) but like you pointed out about her motions and expressions, Lea really makes you think she's IS the character.
The 10th Anniversary performance will always be my favorite of the full orchestra performances. The massive choir pulled from all the companies for At the End of the Day…omg. And Phillip Quast and Colm Wilkinson…omg the absolute best Javert and Valjean combo ever.
That`s what sets Lea apart from so many musical theater singers IMO. It`s no longer Lea singing (she is of course), but she becomes the character she`s playing. She understands the psychology and the emotionality of the character singing and she takes you on that journey with her. I just love her.
I really enjoyed this analysis of Ms. Lea's On My Own! I'm learning to sing with better techniques and I've been learning so much by merely watching good vocal coaches like you explaining what's going on in this performance. Thank you! Pls do more Lea Salonga performance analysis.
The first and mandatory thing to say about the star lea salonga is her timbre, it's like an ángel, the timbre is like the face for a model, beautiful and unique, and yes, she has all the skils for being a great singer, star on Broadway. This beautiful voice make me cry.
This is my absolute favourite song in the show. When I'm at a performance, the first notes are enough for my eyes to close and my emotions start to well up. The only other song that does that is Finale B in Rent 😭
My dearest Lea, she's the GOAT! Luv her so much way back Annie days, she's same age as mine!...Always giving me goosebumps whenever I watch this!...definitely world class! 👏😘💜🫰
I sang On My Own last night (warm up open mic 7pm Thursdays). I am 85 years old and started taking singing lessons Feb. 2019 (forced to retire). I sang as written high note C5 and 1 octave down. I am naturally a Bass Baritone like Jonnie Cash or Paul Robeson but my coach has extended my range until it goes to at lease E5 (started at D4). The host indicated I was at least as good as Lea. He suggested I sing the introduction Bass Baritone and change to soprano for the chorus. I sing at Bebop a night club in Boston Ma..
MISS SAIGON is Lea Salonga as KIM most of the song that I love 👑😍🇵🇭 for me she has the Most Beautiful Crystal Voice of Broadway Stage 🏆⭐ the Best Voice of Two DISNEY Princesses Jasmine of Aladdin and Mulan the Greatest Classic Disney Movie of All Time😍♥️💞 that is well love by millions of people around the World even up to this day😍👏👏👏 Thanks
She mentioned in one interview that although it wasnt a lead role ( comepared to Kim of Miss Saigon), she worked harder in playing Eponine because it's historically a "caucasian" role and getting that part is like banging your head on the wall repeatedly until it cracks open.

This performance by Lea Salonga always brings me to tears. The emotion in her performance and her voice.
i love how the "i love him" lines at the end shows the thought process of the character
Me too! Such an important line
and it's about a half beat delayed/exhaled from the music, as if she's holding back tears because she's coming down to reality that she's on her own. 😢

I can feel 5 stages of grief delivered by Lea in this song. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

Master class starting Lea: Understand every word, make it emotional, sing on the vowels, and "nail it"!
But have you truly cried if you haven't seen Lea and Michael Ball doing A Little Fall of Rain? 🥲
Oh this! ❤
8:36 same, I sobbed when I watched this performance. She's so good at delivering the message of the song! such an amazing singer!

Great reaction, Nick. Love, love your technical and emotional analysis of this great performance. Good job.
I seen her sing this once and I was in tears it was SO beautiful.

And Phillip Quast and Colm Wilkinson…omg the absolute best Javert and Valjean combo ever.
That`s what sets Lea apart from so many musical theater singers IMO. It`s no longer Lea singing (she is of course), but she becomes the character she`s playing. She understands the psychology and the emotionality of the character singing and she takes you on that journey with her. I just love her.
She has an incredible range ur right she can go lower than most classically trained female singers
I simply love her Eponine. She makes me cry every time I hear her sing this.
Lea was the perfect actor and your evaluation really got me! :)
