  • Claire Moore is possibly my favorite singer! Her understanding of her voice is phenomenal, as well as her technical proficiency. Exciting

  • My only problem with this recording is that when the duet start, Claire's first line sort of fades into the background. It sounds as if the sound guy makes a mistake and turns off her mike. It's still a beautiful recording.

  • It's obvious that Claire Moore's voice is 100 times more powerful than Lea's. Claire's range is higher. At that time, Lea was taking voice lessons to improve her range & I noticed her voice improved over the years.

  • Lea Salonga is a fantastic!!!, is song is good have you seen the musical?.

  • ahh, I'm drowning in my tears again

  • Can anyone say PERFECTION?

    They make me cry, they are so fantastic.

  • getting goosebumbs especially when it's a duet ;-) <3 I'm always trying Ellen...

  • I LOVE THIS ACTRESS...MS. LEA SALONGA

  • LEA SALONGA IS STILLTHE BEST OF THE BESTS!

  • oh Gosh.. my Simon .... Love you ... !!!

  • they harmonize so well....

  • Stunning!

    

  • Lea Salonga is my idol!

  • i can't beleive she was only like 16 when she got this role....

  • i have to say, simon bowman looks pretty fine in that bed:)

  • Damn these two are BEAST!

  • i think sunshine corazon and rachel berry should do this performance at GLEE

  • Claire's voice is fantastic!!! Amazing technique, glorious power and beautiful tone. Her phrasing is just...WOW!! Brava! I remember listening to this as a kid, and thought, wow, who's that lady singing with Lea. Her voice just floored me. Watching this video, she looks effortless in the way she sings.

  • the original london cast will always and forever be the most amazing cast

  • Lea was amazing as usual, and Claire is just so FIERCE!

  • wow lea salonga is great

  • Great to have a performance of the principles for posterity's sake. This is an important clip...thanks.

  • gosh i could feel the emotions

  • Thanks for posting this! Love it!

  • I love this song . . . and this version is absolutely beautiful.

  • I like this version than the others because she's suppose to be a young girl and she has a voice to match it. The other versions are good, but the lead girl's voice is so mature so it defeats the purpose.

  • Comment removed

  • Whatever happened to Simon Bowman?

  • @sassysarsi he's currently playing Valjean in Les Mis in London :)

  • Ripped at the seams, fantastic!

  • whoa!!!

  • Wow! Merci !!!

  • this DESTROYS me every time I hear it.. SUCH a beautiful song, and amazing performances by both Lea and Claire

  • beautiful!

  • This is the best version of thissong ever in my humble opinion. Lea and Claire rule their roles!

    As do Simon off course

  • @maipigenDK of course its the best, the original is always the best ;)

  • wonderful!

  • *BAWL*

  • Love it....!

  • such amazing voices! :]

  • wow. EPIC.

  • its just that claire moore looks too old for simon bowman

  • This gives me goosebumps every single time!

  • :O Lea sings like an angel.

  • so does claire...her ellens is so freakin good. Im always having trouble beliving in most ellens. but im convinced that claires ellen would fight for her man

  • Simply incredible!Two of the best female voices I have ever heard!

  • Claire Moore isn't half bad either as ellen.

  • i agree..claire moore rooks as ellen. Most of the Ellens ive seen i always had a hard time believing in this and in 317, but claire makes me believe that shes truly ready to fight for her man..

  • is this lea salonga singing?

  • lea is just freakling amazing

  • I must have heard this hundreds of times but I still get goosebumps everytime I hear it. Does anyone have a clip of the 'fall of Saigon' from the original?

  • Oh My God! I have seen this musical dozens of times and NOTHING, but nothing, compares to Lea and Claire doing this duet. Others can try but in vain. Claire simply is the best..and with Lea's voice it is magical. I had chills as well.This may be the best duet in Musical Theater

  • Claire Moore is amazing

  • is this lea?

  • why, of course! who else can be kim in such an amazing portrayal as this?

  • is there any way to watch this musical? im dying to watch it! since i cant see any from the late 80s to 90s cuz i was a kid then and i think the 2005 cuz they werent in my area.

  • ..long live all beautiful songs such as this. It brings back the sad memory of war to me

  • This is magical.

    Her voice isn't as strong as in later years, and yet when I've heard her sing this song with a more mature voice it just isn't quite as magical.

    This is perfection.

  • o second what drewkingsbury said..

    i had chills from the split screen to the end :) omfg yay

  • Thanks for this..hard to find good video of miss saigon

  • OH....MY....GOD!!!! CHILLS.....I had CHILLS from the split-screen to the end. It was sooooo amazingly good. Reminds me why I love Miss Saigon.

  • I love Miss Saigon!

    This is one of my favorite musical songs of all time...

  • can ANYONE find the individual sheet music for this song? i'm thinking about preforming it for competition and i DON'T want to buy the whole book.

    Love this song :D

  • this song is so heartbreaking

  • when i need a good cry i listen to two songs both from miss siagon... this one and thuy's death both songs rip my heart of my chest. this song mostly since my father and father in-law both are vietnam vets and they still have nightmares 37 years after the war...

  • wow

  • özel bir hatırası var .....

  • thanks for the song........now im okay.

  • cute talaga si lea maganda boses im proud of her

  • i wish miss saigon was in broadway at the mo' :(

  • Miss Saigon is playing in Sydney, Australia in September.. I'm going to see it!! Can't wait.. I wish Lea was in it though :(

  • wow theyre both amazing id love to be able to sing like that!!!!!

  • GOOSEBUMP MATERIAL!!!!

  • I saw this play on Broadway... Unforgettable! What a voice! Lea Salonga is the best!

  • Amazing!!!!!

  • Absolutely amazing. Loved it! Thanks

  • What powerful emotion, it cuts through the heart. Clare Moore also played Christine in Phantom, after Sarah Brightman in London. She was fantastic in this also.

  • hear hear. Claire was way better than Sarah Brightman.

  • WOW all that hope you can see in Lea's eyes, she is amazing! Thank you for sharing this!

  • Thanx so much for posting! Lea and Claire are absolutely amazing! Both brilliant women! I like Ruthie Henshall as well though.

  • Ruthie is rubbish compared to Claire

  • I'm not saying she's better, I'm just saying i love them both. Claire is better, but Ruthie is definitely not rubbish in any way shape or form :/

  • Ruthie is quite rubbish compared to Claire. Claire has depth and Ruth doesn't. There is so much more emotion and passion in Claire's voice not to mention how modest she is. I once heard Ruthie say that she was the last great female musical theatre performer. Need I say more? I can, if you wish.

  • *sigh* Never mind. You obvously don't get what I'm trying to say, so I'm just not going to bother. Oh, and no, please don't go on.

  • this is well brilliant! hmn...but is lea's mic? i can't see it. lol maybe the stage was mic(ed) lol. but aw i love this song and they're BRILLIANT.

  • i love claire's voice!! and i love lea salonga!!<3

  • Lea's AMAZING..so is Ellen :)

  • The two original cast of Miss Saigon, Lea n Claire, outstanding performance. Bravo n thank you for this pretty womans with one husband fighting for their right.

  • benım ıcın cok özel bır parca bu:((

  • Who is playing Ellen in this clip?

  • The woman playing Ellen is Claire Moore..I think I prefer her to Ruthie Henshaw..but they are both amazing....love this show

  • amazing! thanks for sharing.

  • thank you for posting this!
