LEA SALONGA , - brilliant, talented, beautiful and so educated. What else i could say.

[13nickrock]

[roxyd05]

"you know...anak you know when he's looking at you, you tats his face.."hehehe

[nephpie]

@roxyd05  i think she said touch not tats

[roxyd05]

@nephpie i know it's touch.. sometimes we filipinos have a funny way of saying words... :)

[jazzgrenade]

Too bad she doesn't sing here

[MisayG]

She's not only good singer and actor, she's very intelligent..and it shows in this interview.

[querida1314]

totally love this interview ;)

[Cutsik]

her voice is so sexy

[btanie]

I am not Filipino.....I think all Filipinos should rightly be proud of her.

[fernandosmyng]

Lea was my crush when I was in college. She was in high school then.

[deathskurai]

i just wish i was the man of lea, damn her husband is so lucky!!

[NYCprincess7]

Shes my idol!!!!!

[helm1010]

Lea Salonga's Eponine is the best musical performance I have ever seen.

[candyruna]

I really admire Lea Salonga!  She's the best! =)

[Salivorin]

Who wears a scarf indoors? How hipster can you be, jeez.

[junkim1986]

@Salivorin maybe its too cold there? its possible

[AliSwan91896]

She's so beautiful and intelligent, not to mention that her amazing singing makes me absolutely cry! I love Lea Salonga!

[JaseyRae1996]

the guy said Mulan wrong...

[coolmountains25]

lea salonga ur so beautiful and talented i was just listening to a kick ass mulan song. im glad u didn't become a biologist or a doctor, ur songs make me so happy especially mulan.

[mrbrendyjames]

lea salonga is my favourite eponine. i never thought twice about her race in the character she was flawless and i always associate that character with lea salonga.

[Siggyred]

OMG cannot wait 2see this.. Lets hope they do US Tour or bring New Broadway Musical to CHICAGO with Original Cast: Acclaimed Multi Awarded Broadway Legendary Superstar & Tony Award LEA SALONGA and GEORGE TAKEI with New Broadway Star TELLY LEUNG (TV: Glee, Broadway: Rent & Flower Drum Song) & Acclaimed Broadway Star PAOLO MONTALBAN (from ABC Disney TV movie: Cinderella w/R&Bstar Brandy & Whitney Houston, Broadway: The King & I, Pacific Overtures & Flower Drum Song).. Lets support LEA!!!

[SaTrinomaNagkita]

Smart responses from Leah. Not only she sufficiently answers questions fielded by the interviewer, her answers are wide-ranging, touching several related subjects. She is really articulate. I saw almost 23 minutes before I viewed this video but as I listened-along, I didn't noticed that it was eating up my 23 minutes. It was engaging.

[theprofessor0626]

She is totally someone that a fan can be proud of. I hope this interview lasted for 20 more minutes! Her On My Own rendition is classy!

[chariceyoungdiva]

With all the class and wit, my God I'm truly proud of this woman. How I wish Charice could have the same eloquence as Lea has. Well anyway, Lea is a naturally intelligent girl reared with incomparable breeding. Yeah she'll be the greatest ambassador of the Philippines someday. All my salute and pride to this brilliant woman. My idol Charice would really learn a lot from her. Go Lea!!!

[MrRodBelt]

Fantastic interview. Lea is surely a Filipino icon who will remain close to my heart as one of the greatest Filipino actor/singer. A great diplomat she would really become to represent my beloved Philippines.

[dadaartful]

Lea you would be a wonderful diplomat for your country. The people of the philippines would be more than proud to have you to represent them. I'm sure you would undertake the responsibilities with passion and love.

[LoveThatSceneChannel]

Princess Jasmine for the win! =)

[MikeJustDidit]

lea ur still soooooo beautiful.

[Gmhao01]

you know anak when he's looking at you, you tats his peys.

[inmate24601]

The tonal quality of her voice has been a rare pleasure in my lifetime. A voice as sweet as hers simply has to be tangible evidence for the existence of God.

[heavyblow]

i love her singing and everything. but she comes off a bit snooty here even though I do enjoy the interview.

[uberathlete]

@heavyblow true dat, but I always just interpreted that as confidence. Lea is one confident gal, and got some balls, hehe. She's good and she knows it.

[kittyneko23]

I love you Lea... I mean this in a good way... I wish you can read this, so at least I can exist in your world, even just for a stranger... I need to see you in one of your concert someday, then I will be very very happy... You are my ultimate idol, more than that, you are very nice person and very talented... I'm more than just a fan... Again in a good way... Well just keep it up, your making people happy...

[Mahalkopinas]

Lea Salonga is a Philippine Treasure.. She is super talented and super beautiful!!!

[BlueSteel14]

mission accomplished! one of my most wanted autographs, my fave since her Pambata magazine days... finally!... I met MS. LEA SALONGA in person! woooooot!

[zzzmarjmd2]

[s4jt]

Incredibly impressive singer.

[amethyst1325164]

Very articulate. I love this interview

[briefstories]

[parasoul26]

[PartyInTheUK]

[MrJohnnyadonis]

I AM A FILIPINO AND I TRULY ADMIRED LEA'S TALENT AND SINGING VOICE - - AS WELL AS HER PERSONA - - THANKS LEA

[feenix00]

[georee]

the best version of ON MY OWN...MS.LEA SALONGA...nobody  can ever touch that!!!

[eurasianfeline]

Thank you so much for this interview. Just watching her talk about Miss Saigon made me smile.

[pokemonumbreon1]

i really like lea coz she sounds like she could be any ones best friend shes not like "oh i am the greatest" or any thing like that

[coynie3]

sooo pretty :) and a great singer

[Blueknightex]

She's not really an actress in TV Dramas or series but a singer/actor in Broadways.

I would love to watch her Broadways :)

My mom and I have been fans of her music for a very long time.

And WOW she can speak English fluently. Pre-med student huh? wow..

[ninotubes]

She should do the diplomatics in HK, what do you think?

[mc4uify]

This is a great interview..but sad that you describe Lea as merely Philippine-born. She is Filipino, both her parents being Filipinos. Being Philippine-born may not necessarily be synonymous with Filipino (our citizenship laws follow the jus sanguini principle and not merely jus soli).

[iJonel]

galing nya mag English!

[shazzybhaby08]

FILIPINAS RULE :0) LOOOVE HER!!

1989??I was born that year LOL :))

[1benjiereyes]

Lea's a true Filipina achievers in the global song and music scene. She's truly great.

[makkychavvy]

@rextin0931:what's wrong with the word ACTOR?FYI,It can be used for both sexes..Lea Salonga is indeed a great actor.

[Blueknightex]

@makkychavvy LOL yeah the word 'actor' is both male and female.

Just like Bachelor (like in terms of Academic stuff like Diplomas and Degrees lol).

[nirvgardengod]

@Blueknightex i like actress better

[makkychavvy]

@rextin0931:what's wrong with the word ACTOR?FYI,It can be used for both sexes..

[iMPERiOUS]

She's so amazing. Definitely a role model for me. Now I wish there was an Asian man cast in a huge role like Eponine in Les Miz as she was. Unfortunately, Asian men are still stereotyped in the media.

Go Lea! I missed her show in NY couple months back. I hope she comes back soon.

[fiorgelatto]

aww. I wish i talk like her...

[carpediemje]

Damn she's so confident and well-spoken...no wonder why she's my IDOL! ;-)

[reyreaper23]

She looks like Holly Marie Combs, I'm a fan of Lea Salonga.

[SamarkandChan]

God he's got a sexy radio voice

She's amazing. :)

[flourette]

She makes Filipinoes look good globally, inspite of all the wars and political issues. I am so proud of you. I am so proud to be one!

[flourette]

a very nice filipina lady! I am so proud to be a filipino everytime I see this lady on stage, tele, globally exposed. I love you! Gosh! You are so popular! :)

[onek18]

wonderful!

[lanneekambal]

a real role model -- both personally and professionally!

[Siggyred]

Here's WorldClass Renowned Highly Acclaimed Multi Awarded, MTV ASIA Award Winner, Multi Platinum, BEST SELLER: Pop Diva, MovieStar, 2x Disney Princess (Jasmine & Mulan) and Most Acclaimed Multi Awarded, Tony Award & Olivier Award Winner Broadway Superstar LEA SALONGA.. She's truly ONE OF THE FINEST BEST - WORLD CLASS FILIPINO PRIDE & TREASURE... ONE OF ASIA's FINEST BEST WORLD POP DIVA... BROADWAY's MOST ACCLAIMED FINEST ACTRESS ever!!! NO Other Broadway Actress can Deliver like LEA SALONGA!!!

[jihun7]

i thinks i usally heard ur voice everynight on radio

[chubbychilli]

Wonderful interview. She's a very honest person, beautiful inside and out. I also like the interviewer. It's very rare where they allow the other person to actually answer their questions fully. A lot of them have ego's and butt in when they're in mid-sentence.

[pinaybug]

Very articulate and intelligent answers.

[7thViking]

I admire how Lea handles her craft and she was simply intelligent in this interview.

[cheanne21]

I love Lea Salonga!!!

[Crimson102sweet]

he say mulan weird in the beginging

[akosiPikiPiks]

Philippines' Pride! and she's proud... love Lea. (:

[dennise7star]

Great interview!! Thank you. Lea is absolutely amazing. I love her.

~Dennise & Co.

[MissTimBurtonFan]

hes one of the best interviewers i have ever seen :)

[wewewooo]

this made me listen to her very attentively, her voice is so clear. she perfectly complimented the voice of the interviewer. crystal clear and very nice to hear audible voice.

[jonaslver3000]

she's so smart and full of talent.....thats why she is our national treasure, love you lea!!!

[herbies2010]

youre so brilliant lea.....proud to be a filipino.....

[iMPERiOUS]

She's amazing.

[neallasta]

She is brilliant.

[MariGinto73]

Lea Salonga is really a good singer and an actor!!! Mabuhay!

[rextin0931]

@MariGinto73 ACTOR? hmmm :)

[rosendo12ful]

@rextin0931 Actor is a term for both male and female in the theater/cinema world like doctor, teacher, dentist, engineer etc. So don't be surprised by that term .

[ryr98]

@rosendo12ful yes, in grammar it's called common gender noun..

[BONGMACAPAGAL]

I love Lea and she is really great but I don't think her hair extension was done good. It is very obvious.

[revnestor]

I am so proud of you Lea for being proud of your Filipino Ancestry!!! God bless you!!!!!

[iamfab09]

What? She just found out she'd play Kim when she read the news? Ha,ha! The makers wanted to thrill her... gosh, I was dying to even audition for the role of Kim in the film version of Miss Saigon. Does anybody know where and when auditions are held? :D

[xcgurl08]

The guy was so hard to hear! I had to turn the volume up every time he talked and then back down every time Lea answered lol

[regpourmoi]

lea is such a well spoken person...

[phaerah]

Truly.

[aarongohn]

So proud being Pinoy! Go Lea!

[pritemreeves]

Lea gives such long answers to the questions! Jian probably has a lot more questions prepared and ran out of time. Great interview, Lea could have chatted on for another half hour! Talented girl.

[amphoteric0389]

she is very humble...look at her!... she is amazing...

[augustine73]

She did this interview the day after her concert in Toronto. Think its a last minute interview requested by CBC.

[bobbit911]

She'll be the best diplomat the country will ever have!!

[gammaron]

she's perfect for the job!

[reginethegreat]

what an articulate lady. and a very good conversationalist.

[gammaron]

Lea Salonga is indeed a national treasure! She is pretty, talented and articulate. Her pride in her country runs very deep.

[Wolfie129]

She is so massively talented! So glad to finally see this interview. Thanks Q!

It has to be said again, Jian is an amazing host/interviewer.

[TheBonitabanana]

Is Jian intimidatingly handsome? Ms Lea can't look straight into his eyes, she stares to her side most of the time.

[OfficialWhyRock722]

Can't the sounds get any louder? =)) Jowk. Anyway, that's Miss Lea aryt? \m/

[TheBonitabanana]

officialyrock722, my sounds are okay. maybe just your computer.

[OfficialWhyRock722]

yea, maybe. kasi i was just using the laptop plainly.. so maybe i should use speakers for louder sounds eih? :))
