Lea Salonga - Over the Rainbow

[abengyu112751]

MOOD MUSIC .....very relaxing excellent voice ..... LEA very BEST

[vicsevilla64]

Excuse me, Judy Garland's version, the girl who sang the original 1930's version in the film "The Wizard of Oz" is way better than this or any other version. Case closed.

[ViniciusZini]

LOL! Here she remembers Michael Jackson!

[llorente9890]

Let's not compare Charice and Leah. They are both wonderful singers with angelic voice. Let's just be thankful that we can enjoy both of them.

[rockinshoes1]

I'm sitting here at work almost crying listening to her.

[luvpinoys]

NatalieHwakinsWho(TM) and JudyGarlandWho(TM)?

[merriamw222]

@ZodiacBryan Um, they're dead and nobody knows them. Besides, they weren't that great. Get on with the program.

[cjdutton42]

I need to get with a girl who can sing!

[MARISELLA0423]

BEAUTIFULLY SUNG....... BRILLIANT!!!!! ;))

[RUAmplified]

UH MAZING! i got goosebumps~!

[hermiemel]

Lea was 18 when she played "Kim" in "Miss Saigon". it run in NY and London for 11 years after 4,200+ shows. She was 29 when she stepped down. She won many awards and open many doors in the theather industries for Asian performers.

[BucleInerte]

Gay anthem!

[1419sunnyside]

@squidgybun.Thanks for your response.Judy sang " Over the Rainbow " in the movie of the same title.So i just assumed it was the first it was ever sang.

[carihigs]

@squidgybun She was 16. I remember reading a thing about how a big challenge for them was the fact that they had to make a 16 year old look like a 12 year old (which is how old the character Dorothy is).

[FredONeil1]

She has the most beautiful voice Ive ever heard!

[LeJaNe09]

Anyone knows where I can find an instrumental for this version?? =)

[Thumbelina105]

Okay you know how many times I listened to this song and by various Artist...THIS VERSION BEATS everyone and any version...LEA SALONGA is a Siren to my hears and she always haved too I mean HELLO MISS SAIGON...DISNEY lol :D

Girl surprises me every time I listen to her

[jtp9805]

@Thumbelina105 I compared Lea's verson to Judy Garland's. Judy's versi

[Thumbelina105]

Okay you know how many times I listened to this song and by various Artist...THIS VERSION BEATS everyone and any version...LEA SALONGA is a Siren to my hears and she always haved too I mean HELLO MISS SAIGON...DISNEY lol :D

[kern39743]

i hate to admit i never heard of this before.she has a beautiful voice

[Daerendell]

Its so dificult to think in something more beautiful than this, Lea has the voice, charm and whatever it takes to be the best, and indeed she is

[braccdo]

??????

[xofilirecanox]

for me lea salonga ay the BEST pilipines singer her voice so classic.

[PirateMoose21]

Perfectly beautiful :')

[Magizmo03]

The only 3 singers who can sing this song perfectly with different renditions..

1.Judy Garland

2. Lea salonga

and ofcourse

3. Charice Pempengco

[MrWhiskyGolf]

@Magizmo03 You left out Bob Marley, His Version is equally different and totally unique

[Magizmo03]

@MrWhiskyGolf - i havent heard his version yet but ill listen to it... :)

[spendor40]

@Magizmo03 and Eva Cassidy

[Magizmo03]

@spendor40 - im sorry... i dont like her rendition... shes good though... peace... :)

[missliz334]

@Magizmo03 ur a dumbass

[Magizmo03]

@missliz334 - yes i am... are you happy now?

[missliz334]

@Magizmo03 yup

[Magizmo03]

@missliz334 - good to know that...

[beachbobc]

I would submit Jewel, who sang it in the jazz version of Wizard of Oz,

before anybody knew who she was - very interesting phrasing.

And of course, Sissel from Norway, who can do anything.

[laconsolacion888]

Her voice is just truly amazing. I think she is one of the most desirable women in the world.

[BloomAndGrow]

I've always felt like no one could pull this off as well as Judy Garland.

Lea has proved me wrong :)

[AlanNJUSA]

Imagine a place so pristine and beautiful, the weather crisp and oh so comfortable, and you are at peace with yourself, and there is harmony and love all around. Lea's voice takes me there.

[HappyMe022]

OMGGG!!!! That is Shay Micthell's aunt (emily from pretty little liars)

[nejov1]

It's okay to compare as long as you're talking about their positives.

[eviebrown48]

I agree with you Benjiernmd 100%.

[collectingbees]

Confession: I actually absolutely hate this song, but I do like this version of it. I like Lea Salonga much better when I just listen to her voice and not watch her sing.

[aakataoka2]

Lea はいつも、素敵な声です。

[MrsHRathbone]

@aakataoka2 hahah

[elai0818]

Deva7, do they have cd for this song? thanks

[AngellMariie]

Gorgeous (:

[Norelynful]

Leah has an Ageless Angelic Voice. Charice is a talented singer too and I am a fan of her but Leah is far more greater than Charice when it comes to the quality of the voice. But both of them are extraordinary and winner!!!!! bravo!!

[gelaflores0814]

lea is really an excellent performer!!!!! awesome!!!

[Alandix]

wonderful song for Lea, be sure to hear Celtic Woman and their version.

[murbuzz]

@Alandix i love that version. my favourite

[FrostFruity]

I love Lea with the beautiful songs and Charice for powerful emotional music. Both very different artists and both very successful Filipinos. <3 I am happy for both of them.

[reygood1]

Lea is technically and aesthetically amazing!

[maki11able1]

Truly awesome rendition,,,sole singer & the best.Love it sooo much!!!

[AllisonDinh1204]

Gosh, her voice is so beautiful!

[jjitchibird]

please people stop comaring charice to lea they are both good in their ways. why not just be proud of it that we got good talents to cheer to the world. stop this crab mentally

[MrPetrangkabayo]

these version is the most touching one.... it touches my soul and heart .

[nikkicokkie]

i love this song it reminds me when my mother sang it to me..

[sucksviacom]

lea is simply angelic and charice is diva...but i go for lea for this time...

[kittenDecember]

I adore her voice.. especially since I grew up with all the disney movies that she sang in

[jcip017]

wow! the chorus is so nice! i love it!

[atoz09nization]

you people have to understand that charice and lea are good in their own ways. I love listening to Lea's voice but I love watching Charice perform. Lea has a more soothing voice but likewise charice performance on stage is riveting. We filipinos at least have these people to make us proud considering we have a perennial corrupt government. Embarassingly corrupt. I hope Ninoy will make filipinos look better this time. Let us pray.

[vaynard091]

her voice still astonish me, for me Leah is the greatest

[1978up]

HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!

[santismom]

please stop comparing lea to charice, they are not in the same genre!

[lwaldorf817]

Lea is Number 1 and her voice has continued to get better with age - just like fine wine - larry waldorf p.s. thank you for sharing your beautiful gift to brighten people's day. warmest regards, larry

[Saar9210]

beautifullly sung, and gracefully done. thumbs up~ one of my favorite song of all time. :)

[lovericecake]

wow her voice sounds so fresh and clean~

[kidrainenfina]

I LOVE U MISS LEA!!~ #OMG

[feenix00]

simply beautiful.

[rossdenyze]

Michael Jackson. Lol.That made my day, so yeah, her voice is amazing, sooo smooth and calm. I do really prefer this song than hiphop, it's just meaningless most of the songs. For real. But i do dance hiphop.(just for dancing).:D

[khughes799]

I love lea's version of this song!

[tranilex94]

She looks like michael jackson in that picture

[topz888]

Teary eyes with lifting heart and gossebumps whew a love lea

[IndubitablyThomas]

Michael Jackson spent his life trying to look like and immitate the talent of Lea..

[shshsharonians]

galing

[mjmilan]

Lea Salonga is an astonishingly good singer - always loved her voice.

Unfortunately however, blisteringly good as this version is, I'm afraid Eva Cassidy has already been there - and NOBODY sings this like Eva...

[xinegang]

@mjmilan

I agree with you.

[1996TropangGeorgie]

such clarity... indeed a voice to beat!!!

[particulatestaleyq]

She also opened for international acts such as Menudo and Stevie Wonder in their concerts in Manila in 1985 and in 1988, respectively

[LaSheefra]

@particulatestaleyq Straight from wikipedia...

[zwitsy]

i really like this song...

[lalique512]

Truly a God-given talent.....superb rendition of this classic song and I thought I've heard it done magnificently by La Streisand until this version by our very own Lea Salonga.....words are not enough to fully describe the effect her voice has on the listeners.....I absolutely love this.

[feephiweephi]

She is the most amazing singer I have ever heard.

[197927cherry]

ricefarmer....

every singer got an own identity...please do not compare Charice to Lea...

ang kaibahan nga lang, una lang si LEA na ipinanganak...jejeje....

Peace!

[manthony1393]

@197927cherry jejemon k?yuck

[Lieloh03]

ang galing mo Lea! Weeee. Super!

[alfonzdionson]

nice as always... perfect rendition as always....

[DukeofSassington]

I love Sissel but I have to say that I much prefer this version. I think Lea's got a much smoother and clearer transition. Lea owns this song :-) Sorry Sissel, I still love you :-P

[Warlowisnumberone]

omg!! im speachlesss.... she's amazing!

[Daddyporky]

Stunnning, beautiful and original rendition,

[28hikaru90]

wah this sounds like a disney song.. hoho

[jerryfrancisco10]

TI AMO TANTO TANTO LEA...........

[Puzzlesolver91]

Quite simply... I love it!!!

[zzzooooo]

Emotional

[DaisySusie1]

wow such an angelic voice! <3

[morrieh]

She skips part of the verse!

[sombagonkaron]

shit

[anatagajoshy]

amazing, great and wonderfull !! i`m cry !!

[bobbit911]

Superb rendition!!!

[braintreecat]

I agree. Every note like a diamond. Close your eyes and your there. This is a voice for the ages. AND it was done live!!!

[misschameleon1]

this song is owned by Sissel. I love Lea but not with this song.

[braintreecat]

Sissel? Maybe Judy Garland, Jane Monheit or Eva (English singer who passed from brain cancer) This is still a version which can hold it's own in my book!

[misschameleon1]

I did, on your prompt check out Jane Monheit's version but she is just a little to sultry for my taste. Sissel is so clear and melodic with this.

[bramdzy]

amazing !!!!!!!!!!

[JodLicup]

san kaya lyrics nito. starts with something i don't know bago sya mag "somewhere over the rainbow...".

[bakatngbanig]

PAREHOng naiinsulto ang mga talents pag pinagkukumpara sila. Ang mag kumpara ng talento ay pang makikitid lamang ang utak at mga kulang sa pansin.

[girlflower17]

that was so beautiful

lea is the best

[ispaceout]

Why is there even talk about Charice here? This is a Lea Salonga video.

[undefeated29]

Lea and Charice are blessings to our country. Nobody is perfect but it's their inborn gifts and rare talents than carry them and make them shine in the world stage. Let's just learn to appreciate what they're doing and not put down one so as to lift up the other. We should be very proud of both of these wonderful ladies. I love them both. =D

[zz2277]

I must agree Deva7 - this is a beautiful cover of this much beloved song. Lea Salonga has an exceptional gift and uses it to great effect on this track.

[franque68]

LEA should not be compared to CHARICE..they have different styles - Lea more on broadway and Charice on pop..

i hate it when some people gets insecure and NOT JUST appreciate a real good talented singer...

and ACS26 - YOU DONT HAVE THE RIGHT TO CALL CHARICE "UGLY"..it only proves the kind of mentality you have - PUS-ORIENTED!..shame on you!

[oOoPoPuLaRGuRLoOo]

Agree with franque IF YOU KNOW WHAT CHARICE LIFE!!!! U WOULD BE PISSED OFF! Now SHES now On the Top Not TOP as in the Hollywood

[andie817]

lovely very lovely..... love you lea

[littletanbear]

Undeniably lovely voice and face

[robszkiness]

well looks can be deceiving.:D

[roxanne26ful]

Nice video. I love listening to Lea Salonga. Her songs are so relaxing..hhhmmmmmmmmm....

[acs26]

shes my second favorite singer next to mariah carey

[acs26]

charice is ugly

[franque68]

thats very rude of you...are you pretty though or talented enough to give such a nasty, discriminatoty remarks agianst Charice?? I have nothing agaisnt Lea, as a matter of fact she is my favorite too..But do you know Lea Salonga`s history? You would be stunned to know who her father is and how she came up in this world..BUT did that matter? NO!! coz she is one talented young woman!!! NOW, HOW COULD A BITCH LIKE YOU CALL CHARICE UGLY? DIG DOWN, LADY, AND LOOK AT URSELF! SHAME ON YOU!

[franque68]

beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, sweetheart..there a re lots of pretty girls out there but are STUPID AND SHALLOW....beautiful women but no talent and intelligence to boot with..

judging people by their looks is just a shame..

and fyi, ugly is a word used by people are themselves - UGLY - inside out!

choose ur words sweetheart, it might get back at you sooner than you think!

peace be with you.!

[acs26]

oh my gosh.. i couldnt believe with that simple statement ive said you would react this way.. im sorry if I hurt you in anyway you must be a big fan of her.. Yeah its true beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and every person that would find charice beautiful definetely do have an aweful taste... Yeah i find charice ugly but i thought shes talented and that what matters.

[franque68]

yea right, kep telling yourself that...!

[ricefarmer]

charice has nothing on her at all...

[yobojoricaruss]

exactly.....

[hansquad]

Charice is still 16..still maturing.. and so far Charice's career is amazing.. and her power.. is potentionally bigger than Lea's.

[AZo9jojo]

Lea's voice is more effortless than Charice.

[officiallycertified]

@ricefarmer Leah is a sophisticated singer with her theatrical background and tons of musical experience...her voice is tuned by time, talent and technique...in other words, she is music personified...but Charice, also has talent...technique can be learned...and she is still young...with time on her side, she could also reach Lea's status maybe not in a classical sense, such as Lea's, but she also has a shot at it...just wait for her to ripen...=)

P.S. i'm a solid Lea fan, by the way...peace

[pilipinas323]

@ricefarmer Charice can't even be compared to Lea Salonga. Charice is barely starting her career and she still have a lot to do before she can be in the same rank as Lea Salonga. Lea Salonga is one of the best.

[luvkcha09]

@ricefarmer

it is quite nasty to say Charice has nothing! Both singers are wonderful!

You don't have to demean one to appreciate the other. Variety is a spice of life!

[eviebrown48]

@luvkcha09 Good for you! They are both talented and our kababayan.

[ElectrikkPaperClipxx]

@luvkcha09 stfu =]

[netteintoronto]

@ricefarmer

i am sure you want to be appreciated for who you are and not compared to anyone because you are unique but i agree that lea sang this song magnificently

[benjiernmd]

@ricefarmer In fairness, Lea sings this song better than Charice, but Charice is more versatile. They are, however, both great singers and definitely my faves.

[Fair41]

Definitely my favourite singer still performing

[Qcam13]

oh my god. beautiful

[rockprincezz909]

i love her!! i love her!! i love her!!!!

the way she puts so much emotion when she sings!!

her wonderful voice!!

love it!

[emoboi2287]

may certain ka sosyalan talaga sa timbre ng boses nya.. di boses lata... and my friends this is what you called "DICTION" di gaya ng iba hanggang sigaw lang ang alam

[jomigu09]

i never like this song..

i thought it's so boring...

until now!!

[jasque]

@jomigu09 Hahahahahaha. Aye I agree. I can never understand why people love it so. I did not like it much when Judy Garland sang it, but when Lea sang this song she just blew my mind away. No offense to Judy's lovers but my ears like Lea's version.

[divinekristine]

its like i'm surroUnded by angeLs when she sings!!! fantastic anD so wOnderful.....!!!!!!=)

[bschemsy]

lea always delivers a crystal and perfect voice even when done live!!! so amazing!!!! ahhhhh

[78ArchAngel12]

Lea Salonga and Agnetha Faltzkog of ABBA are two of the best female singers of all time. They have angelic voices that are so inspiring and enlightening!!! They remind me of the goodness and greatness of our Lord God Almighty!!! Lord Jesus Christ, thank you very much for Lea Salonga and Agnetha Falztkog!!! Thank you very much also for all of the gifted singers you have given us here on earth to remind us of your mercy and everlasting love!!!

[iactblack247]

i love this song her voice and about everything she does but this pic looks like micheal jackson no offense leas real pretty no homo way

[mefoofoo]

am really lea's great fan.... and i really love her voice... she's so benign.

[braintreecat]

I love this singer. I saw her in Miss Saigon and love her treatments of the great standards. Her pitch is impeccable her tone is full and rich and you can understand all the words as the composer would have it. No gimmicks-just great musicality. I wish we could see and hear more from her.

[shyiep]

A God given talent that she never failed to use...She even made the Filipinos proud. Good living example to the youth especially to the Ladies! Elegant, eloquent, talented and got good sense of humor too!

[jackmy008]

this is so divine

[undefeated29]

wow... this was live. amazing. =D

[stipe78]

i like katherine mcphee's rendition too.. but Judy Garland's original is still the best ! :)

[eloim68]

Leah...I love you ..you're so inspiring. I leared to sing because I always listen to your songs...

[FelicidadQ8]

wow! i would do anything for a voice like hers

[hugsandkissesforyou]

Lea Salonga is inspiring!

[bschemsy]

heavenly as always... i love lea salonga's style very much!!! very soothing to the ears

[skateboard49dude]

I should fvorite this

[Ac344]

awesome!thank you.

[FM897]

Clean, crisp, inspiring, beautiful

[54spiritedwill54]

I really love Lea Salonga's Voice

[jgroffan]

am i the only one who thinks that pic is from lea michele?

[pinoyidol2006]

that's def. lea salonga's pic.

[braintreecat]

Just a gorgeous arrangement and Lea delivers a most poignant treatment full of emotion yet controlled and true to the original concept. I thought it was cool that the arrangement included the verse too. The dynamics and the control of the harmonies and expression is superb.

5 stars!

[cathycabalan]

i really love this song...

[anchanta]

She is just plain epic pwnage!!

[uberathlete]

honestly, this isn't even Lea in her prime. If you think this is good then you haven't heard her when she was younger. In her prime, nobody and I mean nobody had a sweeter voice with that balance of power. The only other singer that comes to mind when I listen to Lea is Jodi Benson. She too has a wonderful voice. Lea is a living legend.
