Lea Salonga - I Dreamed A Dream - Broadway on Broadway 2007

[sgtjoe2008]

lea salonga did the best version....

[bluesinger78]

In general, the 2 are amazing singers! They're individual vocal pipes and personalities give different interpretations to the song - and to the character. :)

[bluesinger78]

Ms. Salonga on the other hand, she has a sweet voice. She's in her mid-30's but she can still sound 16. She has good control of her voice although (as seen in and heard in this video) she overdid the interpretation of the song that's why it sounds a bit forced. Listen to her low notes, that's beyond her vocal range, so it sounds off. Listen to her high notes, she oversung and so it sounded off too (not off-key ok?).

[bluesinger78]

Ruthie Henshall is great and so is Lea Salonga. No need to fight over who owns this song or not. :) Ms. Henshall has as a different tone and quality to her voice. My only comment i guess is that her voice is not so linear. Powerful, yes, definitely, but she can't sustain the tone or timbre of her voice.

[BlueStreekCan]

I liked susan boyles better then ths person...she's a much better singer, and we can UNDERSTAND her better. even if the wind is blowing or she holds the mic to far form her mouth, we can probably hear susan more then lea,

[jrdagooc]

Oh, please don't compare Lea Salonga to Susan Boyle. Lea is much much better. This video does not do her justice. Watch other videos of her, like when she sang On My Own at the 10th Anniversary Concert of Les Miserables. You can search for that, watch it, then let's see what you think.

[onyot18]

yeah. that was best video I've ever seen..

[timofmya]

With no disrespect intented to Susan, Lea solonga is a much, much better singer. Check her out on "On my own".

[timofmya]

Lea Solonga OWN's this song. Listen to something that isn't taped from the 10th row of a high school auditorium. You idiot.

[RedNanny50]

I heard and see other Lea Selonga's performance of IDAD,so as others. I say Ruthie Henshall is the best of them all,Ellaine Page & Patti LuPone maybe second then Lea and Hayley Westenra. Judy Kuhn is also good. Saying Lea OWNed this song is STUPID. The first production was in Paris in 1987 then to London then to New York. Lea was only one in a few to performed in it. She is not the best one at it. Fool.

If you like this, try Neil Diamond's version. Check out the change of lyrics.

Susan Boyle is nowhere close to lea.

[nelsontsjr]

Of course, Susan Boyle is far much better!!!

[Gabyabi]

Although Susan brought me here, Lea Salonga has a gret voice. Now Lea is a professional and Susan an amateur, that´s what amaze us of Susan. I also think that Lea is way better than Charice, who will have to wait years to get what Lea already have-

[CoolMapleStore]

You're a magnificent specimen of a human which has, unfortunately, not evolved from an ape.

[CoolMapleStore]

The media bandwagon is seriously blinding too many people.

It's pretty hard to believe how many idiots could claim something as retarded as "Susan Boyle is better than Lea Salonga" or "Lea Salonga is singing this wrongly", the latter being more ridiculous.

[goodpoor1234]

sorry to say...sounds so bad, it's better for her not to sing this song....susan boyle is way way way better....lol

[CoolMapleStore]

Get an ear correction surgery.

Lea Salonga sang this WAY before Susan freaking Boyle.

She's way more skilled, has won more awards, and got there on her own, not through some dumb reality show.

Susan Boyle while talented, is nowhere near Lea Salonga.

[PrivateSchulz]

You're quite the arrogant, self opinionated little bully, aren't you?

I assume that you are the product of the restricted gene pool that exists in your deeply over cramped Island City State.

It must be very difficult, though, for you to type with those webbed fingers; hence the inane drivel masquerading as intelligent commentary.........

[CoolMapleStore]

I shall ignore the misinformed statement about my country.

I have not typed any more "inane drivel" than you have. You have done the exact same thing to me; Replying to a comment which you disagree with, in a non-friendly manner.

The words "hypocrite" should be flashing in your head now, in reference to yourself.

I'd also like to add that you have not added anything to this discussion, just made a misinformed, hypocritical and well...stupid sentence.

Have fun.

[killhannahlover]

wtf?

[7208ocampo]

Susan and Lea are both good! Scottish and Philippine accents. It would be interesting to have them both for an interview! Great performers. Heavenly voices!

[cybervisionstar]

Susan brought me here. I'm looking for a karoke version to prctice with. Lea you are very good, but you have to master this song and put it in it's place. It's a song that is very beautiful and your voice can control it , but I think your useing anger and not feelings of triumph

[h245t]

dude do you even know who lea salonga is??? She is a tony award winning actress! She played Eponine on freakin' broadway, and was the singing voice of Jasmine in Disney's Aladdin...and the original miss saigon!!! Sorry...Susan Boyle has got NOTHING on lea salonga

[krnadik]

and she was also the singing voice of mulan

[0jiol]

The character Fantine isn't triumphant at all. Her life was painful and depressing. Fantine was abandoned and she felt angry and helpless. Lea sang the song accurately.

[cuteasian2007]

the version of lea is greater than susan. the audio seems not clear

[xxxxxxkarlaxxxxxx]

Susan brought me here...Lea is great but sorry, Susan's voice is majestic.

[cuteasian2007]

how dare you> Lea is my idol since i was a kid.

[Lecmar91]

LEA SALONGA brought me here...she is the best =)

[lra094]

Lea is really the best.

[ryanolaf]

GREAT VOICE, HORRIBLE VIDEO QUALITY.

[l30l3nyc]

I'm sorry - this is the best my camera can do. You know, I don't remember anyone saying anywhere that you HAD to sit and watch YouTube!

[ryanolaf]

IT'S LIKE WATCHING AN ACCIDENT

[itinkle]

@l30l3nyc but we have the duty of commenting on how terrible the quality is :) jokes

[Technobass100]

Copy and paste if Susan Boyle brought you here

[fernandosmyng]

Nice effort for the video 30l3nyc. I wish I had same chance to shoot at Lea. Love her a lot.

[POLO1396]

Lea is supposed to be my real daughter but the hospital nurse switched her to my current "daughter"

[ScarBrowGabriel]

hahahahahahahaaaa!!!!

[vanessapastor]

[broadwaystar2be]

[brandonh72]

her vibrato is so wide and sometimes it overcomes her tone quality

[hindangpride]

[leah1santos]

[mvconnelly]

LEA SALONGA IS BROADWAY.

[boyramz2007]
