The 10 year Anniversary Performance of Les Mis is in my opinion on of the very best performances I've experienced. When I play it in the kitchen my baking turns out much better. It's like the yeast enjoys the music!!! No joke!
Every actress that has sung this song are very talented and has her own interpretation of the song and characterisation of Fantine. However, there’s something about Lea’s performance just sets her apart-makes her unique.
..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.
@@rachelmarie2228I completely agree that Lea is the greatest, and I think you meant Fantine, not Eponine, with your last remark. Lea really pulls her audience into this performance, superb in every way!!
Lea Salonga is like a vintage wine. She's getting better as she aged. I really admire her pronunciation of the words. Listen how a cultured voice sounds.
@@fly89 To be fair, Her country's second language is English and most citizens speak it like butter rolling off their tongues. She also kind of came from a class family so her English might be more advanced than most individuals. Sincerely speaking, a person from her country.

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.
Lea had the perfect voice for this time (still does). We are truly lucky to have witnessed her singing. I saw her both in London and New York. Cried both times.
Until today, not one has achieved wha Lea made in international scene. Performing in Oscars and Tony, Grammy Nomination, originating an Oscar Nominated song, a Grand slam Best Actress win in 5 biggest Theater Awards including Olivier and Tony, bagging Disney Legend Awards, Sold out concert tours in UK, North America, Australia, and Asia. She is a living legend and an icon in 20th Century performing arts, giving life to empowered female characters of 20th and 21st Century that the world has seen, Eponine, Fantine, Jasmine, Mulan and Kim.
She makes it look so effortless, but having taken voice lessons I know how precise the jaw, lips and tongue must be to articulate correctly, all while relaxing the throat and exercising the diaphragm. I see and respect her discipline and effort to create such beautiful vocalization, especially because she makes it appear effortless. Bravo, Ms Salonga! Bravo!! ❤️
Lea Salonga sings with a raw passion that is rare in this day and age of props and garish special effects! Oh, and that voice! Listening and seeing her perform is an emotional roller-coaster experience for me.
We saw her as Fantine in the Broadway revival back in 2008 or 2009...I can’t remember the exact date. It was one of the highlights of the Broadway shows I’ve seen.
Everything lea salonga sings is taken to a level no one else can touch. The most beautiful voice imaginable with the greatest clarity and feeling. Perfect in every way.
Lea Salonga is an icon of musical theater. I am not a Filipino, not a musician or singer but a vet but her pursuit of Excellence is so inspiring and compelling for everyone! So proud of her as a fellow Asian.
I have thought the same thing. She doesn't just sing, she ACTS. They used to say that about Maria Callas. She was more than an opera singer, she performed the roles yet her singing was virtuoso too..
“But the tigers come at night… with their voices soft as thunder!” Astounding artistic singing! Facial transformations and emotions portrayed, and tone, are at the height of perfection and beauty.
**Facial transformations and emotions portrayed,** This is what I like about Lea, Anne Hathaway & even Susan Boyle. With Ruthie Henshaw I don't get that emotion.
I seen Lea sing as Fantine nearly 20 years ago in New York It was my 5th time to see Les Miz and no one sings that song better. Thanks for the memories Lea.
What I would have given to be present that night in London! Lea Salonga is a unique treasure. 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!
My clients told me today that they got to go. He said that day was a big football game day and he was pissed that he missed the game. He ended up falling in love with Les Miserables and opera/musical theater stylings in one night. :) It is very beautiful.
@@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. :)
Wi fist saw Lea Salonga when she was the child star in the first performance of Miss Saigon. She was outstanding then. She was obviously destined for stardom. A terrific and talented singer and performer.
Lea Salonga is so talented, her facial expression and voice cover such a range, I wouldn't mind being cursed with only watching her play all the roles in all the films and series forever.
Joco Mayano - but I don’t think this is from the original one. I remember she was sitting down on that and only rose around the middle of the song. There weren’t microphone stands as well.
What I want to know- is who are the 532 people who gave a thumbs down on her performance as shown above on RUclips. I don't get it. This is one of the most powerful and beautiful things I've ever heard and seen.
Staying at home with my elderly mother. Crazy Corona times. Enjoying this uplifting performance. Looking forward to the post-Corona era. One more day! Keep safe everybody!
Lea's version along with Ruthie Henshall are the best versions I've listened to. That magic mix of musical talent and the added feel for the emotion of the person and circumstance of the character.
True... I'd put Ruthie's above Lea's but I would assume you were referring to Ruthie's 10th anniversary performance which they both did a wonderful job. I distinctly remember their duet when Fantine was "fetching" the dying Valjean.
Ruthie's has less bravado and stayed within the context of the moment, less diva. Would you actually sing like Lea by yourself on your own in the story?
@@kpNov23 In real life, one would sing this like Anne Hathaway did in the movie! Broadway audiences demand bravura, which Lea and Ruthie both bring in spades.
I'm 16 years old but I choose to love theater music and seeing Filipino singing this kind of music oh God thank you .... For bringing Filipino's to this 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 times 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

Oml that cheer for Michael Ball😂 That is the sound of an audience being freed from Marius the Mediocre and given the unsuppressed sheer talent that is the one and only Michael Ball.
Michael Ball ,the hands down best Marius ever, No one sings Empty Chairs like Michael. Nick Jonas didnt come close.Disappointing when you've seen Michael, he owns the role.
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.

Playing both characters of Eponine and Fantine at different points in time... she gave justice to both characters on stage!
and that's a legend
I absolutely agree with you! Both superb performances! Incomparable indeed!
Susan Boyle is honestly way better at singing though. It’s a shame our society is shallow like that
Heard better sounds with a blackboard and scraping nails.
No...she confirmed your bias....
Lea Salonga: Beautiful as Eponine and now beautiful as Fantine too.

"I Dreamed a Dream," with Lea Salonga as Fantine, is so power-packed with emotion and perfect pitch. I can't help getting goosebumps and shed a tear.
IKR!!!
I have listened to this song sung by many from many of the Les Mis cast but this is the most emotional. Wow

This is the first that i have heard an angel sing.

Literally decades later and they still blow me away with the talent.
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 times 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
I saw her sing this in December of 1988. In my opinion the Female GOAT of Broadway in those years
Lea Salonga is just incredible singing these songs! What a truly wonderful performance!
Lea Salonga is just absolute perfection. Fantine and Eponine, both perfect, both amazing…and Kim in Miss Saigon, she is the Queen.
Its now 2022. I’m still listening to this :)
Amazing. Thank you all.

Lea Salonga introduced me to disney opera princess singers. There is no other.
I dreamed a dream in times gone by

I keep tearing up when I listen to her singing this song, thank you so much Lea Salonga. You’re my inspiration.
I'm a 922 year old man and this song makes me cry
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.
