Hence, the Philippines is an English speaking nation.

      Well said! Singing can be more than hitting the right note. That is only a mouth to ear communication. With video, communication can be facial as well. An enhanced 'heart to heart' experience! Credit humanity .. credit to Lea Salonga, to reveal her embodiment of what makes us human.

      ..and on top of her incredible skill and mastery of her vocal range and control, she manages to completely act and perform the scene in a concert performance setting with no set and without much of the spoken material, without moving around, just standing at a stationary microphone.
      That is an exceptional performer.
      They have done several more anniversary celebration performances of les miserables and the 10th anniversary performance and cast are still pretty much unanimously and without objection regarded as the best cast and performance and often referred to as 'the dream cast'.
      I have always been a fan of Lea's, from kindergarten when Mulan was my favorite movie, and I have seen so many versions of Eponine and I dreamed a dream, many from incredible talented, amazing performers, but Lea is just on a completely different level and I don't think anyone will ever come close to her performance of this song and as Eponine overall.

Her placement on the high altar, alone yet surrounded as the close-ups reveal an emotional dimension to the song, "I Dreamed a Dream" that I could not imagine and can only barely fathom. Salonga is on a pedestal for this performance - both literal and figurative and it's a placement the universe has pre-ordained for her. Brava!

      @@lucasdefalco2612 I recall that she had a ton of applause after she sang "On My Own" at the 10th anniversary concert and she never left character then either. I think the applause here may have been slightly longer, but that's appropriate since she is an even bigger star by 2010 than she was in 1995. :)

    For sheer spine tingling, tear inducing performance Lea hits me every time. Ruthie Henshall also has the same effect. That said, and cinematic editing notwithstanding, I have to say Anne Hathaway's portrayal as Fantine and her performance of this deeply moving ballad deserves recognition. A grown adult male blubbing like an infant may not be an appealing sight but that's how I was in the cinema when Les Mis' took to the silver screen. I've seen 3 productions of this fantastic show in the West End, sadly none with the original cast, and thoroughly enjoyed each occasion. Both the 10th and 25th anniversary productions were a fine tribute to this timeless classic.

    Man, her voice is pure perfection, every song....flawless! If you, listen to her early audition for Miss Saigon when she was just 17 to even this performance the projection, depth and clarity of her vocal is unchanged. Matured certainly but has not changed! She is a rare and superbly gifted artist!
