06 Michael Ball, Lea Salonga, A Little Fall of Rain - Les Misérables.flv

Guys, it's a concert version!!!!! Chill the comments about acting!

[TheBoBanda]

They are probably the best singers of this song, but they can't act very well... at least in this scene. Eponine has been building up these intense emotions the entire play, and she's got ulterior motives. Marius is finally realizing that he loves Eponine, and now she's dying, his best friend. He should look at least a BIT heartbroken... he looks like he lost a couple of dollars, not his best friend. Other actors rip my heart out when they do this!

This may just be me being thick, but what's with the big cheesey grin at 3:09? :/

[IrunwithWerewolves96]

i am legitly crying right now... ='(

[hapey123]

You've got to watch this 3 times at least. One time to watch Lea's amazing acting. One time to watch Michael amazing acting. And a third time just to listen to their heavenly voices harmonize perfectly.

[imthatgirlinpink]

Awh. I love this song. I always wished he loved her back. )':

[vamaximilian]

Haven't watched this is years. I forgot how good this was and still is. They need a "Love it" option with 2 big thumbs up for this.

@snowfire1239 I know, me too! It's so sad!

[nancysme12345]

amazing. you can never even compare Nick Jonas to Michael Ball, or Samantha Barks to Lea Salonga. It's comparing an apple to an orange. absurd.

[KekoaOnorati]

Lea Salonga as Kim in Miss Saigon on Broadway - dies.

Lea Salonga as Eponine in Les Miserables on Broadway - dies.

Lea Salonga as Fantine in Les Miserables on Braodway - dies.

Ironic, no?

[Lambert1878]

@KekoaOnorati What do you think she was best in, this or miss saigon?

[BeccaWei25331]

@KekoaOnorati I honestly don't recall her living through a whole musical

[mariac30]

love this no one compares to them doing this song so emotional i cry every time

[sykess3]

My mom used to sing this to me when I was little. really powerful song.

[snowfire1239]

wow i started crying in the first couple sentences D:

[jrcaldw45]

This is a modern day treasure, the consummate version of this song. Lea Salonga was the very best Eponine and Michael Ball the very best Marius. Thanks for this wonderful posting.

[AcrossTheRiverStix]

I love Eponine. I totally hate Cosette.

[Serenityluver]

No dislikes. As it should be :)

[cohn6432]

Lovely song, but important information about the scene is obscured by the pop-up ad by Google. Stupid Bastards!

[Broadwaygirl01]

First she played Eponine and then 15 years later she played Fantine. Let me tell you Lea Salonga can do it all!

[LADYROCK101]

Samantha and Nick were good at this song, but seriously can it get any better than this? Michael and Lea are so cute in this! I love that he is actually holding her while Nick just held Sam's hand.

[TheBoBanda]

@LADYROCK101 This may be true, that Lea and Michael are better singers, and they are holding each other, but the acting is SO not there. Michael looks mildly sad. He should be so tragically heart wrenching that you want to throw yourself off a cliff. Nick is a bit less "professional" with his performance, but there's so much real, strong, pent up emotion in his voice AND his body language.

[jkrfan7]

@LADYROCK101 That's why i love this version. Even though it was a concert, both Michael and Lea still acted

[jAmAiCaNsPiDeRmAn]

Samantha Barks and Nick Jonas are both very talented, but nothing compares to this.

[kookooskitchen]

2 things to say:

1. This is so much better than the 25th anniversary one, because they are holding each other instead of just standing next to each other and singing.

2. I just want to cry when I see Gavroche looking at them, he's so sad as he watches her die... but it's also just a tad bit awkward because this is supposed to be kind of a private moment for them...

[MnesomnesTears]

@kookooskitchen I believe they stuck him in there because in the original doorstopper (i.e. the book) Gavroche was her brother.

[kookooskitchen]

@MnesomnesTears could be.

[claud1273]

saddest version indeed....still makes me cry :(

[MJDubius42]

The saddest version of this song ever :(
