she makes singing look so easy! i'm doing a Oliver Call Back tomorrow, and she just breezes through these songs! They are actually quite hard to sing! :S
Oh man! She is just awesome! Though I have a teacher that is good too, but I am taking voice classes and I have to sing the first part "Where is love" My teacher said that this is the best one for me to listen to... I love it! Thank you for posting it!
@logansGT Signers usually change the pronoun of who they're singing about to the gender of their choice, thats what I do as a gay man when singing this song.
i need like years of lessons from this woman..sadly i have a few weeks before i gotta do this stinkin exam..infront of sum english guy..i hope he's young...and nice...and lenient...this song is gonna murder me...
Lea Salonga deserves all the accolades she gets. Her voice is pure and crystal clear. Fantastic!! It's a joy to listen to her sing. Thanks for posting.
Very lovely Song,Lea Salonga has such pure singing voice, which has made her known world wide in the great stage Live Musicials 5 ***** ..Marc Jones Popular&Jazz Vocalist.....Los Angeles,U.S.A.
she is wonderful her voice is so STRONG!! and you can tell she is so comfortable not a tinch of nervousness. i was in this musical to. when i listen to this i just wanna do it again.
super galing talaga si lea..straight to the point ang voice niya, she doesnt have to fake the range of the song. we hope to see more lea salonga. if she ever come to Oregon I will definitely see her perform
she has the best voice, but i find her music choices a bit degrading for such beautiful talent. i mean yeah the broadway stuff was amazing but the stuff she picks for her albumns could be soo much better. the singing was impeccable but the actual songs are only okish.
i know what you mean, sometimes I think bout that too..pero baka it's lea's own personal taste for her albums, her songs probably speak about her as a person....
theres many much better renditions of as long as he needs me around,i dont think she was particularley amazing.however where is love was stunning.....maybe because she seems quite inocent?
I just saw her as Fantine in Les Mis - I thought she was wonderful. I didn't know she was a recording artist as well... I hope to see her perform again one day. Amazing talent!!
You absolutely can be too young. Lea is one of the few who actually have such a richness to her voice at a young age. Most young artists today have no business releasing albums until they have more training and their voices are more mature
lea isn't the only child star to make it in the industry. just look at the jackson 5, the osmonds , and others who have made their name from such a young age.
I admit that some of these people may end up a bit fucked in the head, but there are more people who make a lasting career in the music industry from a young age, and they turn out to be good people.
I can tell by her face that she was really feeling As Long As He Needs Me when she sang it!! It's impossible to sing this song well w/o putting yourself in that position!! BRAVO!!!!!! ; )
She sings "where is love" so beautifully... She sang this same song on her very first album entitled Small Voice. i think she was about eight or nine years old when she recorded it. i actually have the record and i wish i could share it with you so you can hear it, but i have no idea how to transfer music from a record album to a CD... =(
WOW. This brother(conductor/musical director) and sister(singer) team are full of talents, and the scary thing they are getting better and better, yet so humble.
she makes singing look so easy! i'm doing a Oliver Call Back tomorrow, and she just breezes through these songs! They are actually quite hard to sing! :S
