I'd Give My Life For You (Miss Saigon)

[sugarhoneyicedtea123]

You're really talented. Have you ever done Broadway? Or auditioned for it? You're one of the best I've seen on YouTube.

[PhantomloverSNAFU]

That's awesome!!! That's awesome! You shouldn't have gotten the understudy though! You're an AMAZING singer!

[ayycatchem]

it gave me goosebumps, you have a GORGEOUS voice, i can see why you got cast

[DSOproto]

where's the emotion like simon boglarka?



[jennbunneyx]

omg you sound like lea salonga!!! xxxxx

[midnitexstar]

why aren't you on Broadway??!

[JonaVicis]

Beautiful voice. I can imagine you doing voice over for a Disney Animation.

[b1ackic3]

sucks

[PublicICON]

go audition for a Disney princess already girl. 

[PinoyKid77]

Are you filipina like Lea Salonga??

[yodaverock]

You are so pretty and have the most beautiful voice!

I wished i lived in LA :p

[TheIncredibleSquir]

i seriously am not a fan of the production

but your version of the song makes me change my mind

[TheLucidus]

shiz.. im fallin in love with another woman.. 0_0

[firelilyxxx]

your vibrato is GORGEOUS <3 an amazing version of an amazing song!

[singaboi]

Just thought I'd put a video response last year I played John in Hamilton, NZ and now currently understudy to John in Auckland, NZ and this is my favourite song from the whole show and you by far have one of my fave renditions on youtube :)

[daoquynh29]

Ur Vietnamese?

[broadwayjedi]

Are you filipino???!!!

[Leysin11]

Me aged 15 singing ' I'd give my life for you' ..please let me know what you think

[juntaomora]

Hmmm...you singing this song and Jason doing "Why God Why?" from the same musical and doing "Take me as I Am" from Jekyll and Hyde. Y'all might as well do "Sun and Moon." Hehe No, really. Please?

[kaytee94]

I don't understand how you can only be the understudy!!!! What is this? You are frickin amazing!

[AlwaysBoredAgain]

I was a Vietnam Bargirl in Miss Saigon too! (:

[superhorsemad]

I see that youa strange one which i love! and your voice is like wow :)

[XdollyxdeeX]

You acctually are amazing :') I love your voice so much. It's beautiful :)

[echo171]

i love this song! you did an AMAZING job on it, I would definitely pay to see you as my kim!

[25Emmma]

AMAZING! :) i'm singing this song for my exam! hope i can be nearly as good as you! x

[scottishroad35]

yes, no excuse!! you are funny! you are definitely a california gal with a great voice. good luck in your future! 

[TheSupercheen]

I love the way you speak and also the way you sing^^ :)

[Lesqueek]

You do beautiful work, I am in theatre as well and wish I could sing like you, but I'll take what I have. Did you ever get to play the role for the audience or did Jennifer do all of them?

[purpleronnie987]

you're just amazing:-) wish i had seen you! good luck for the future.

[kev09161978]

Lana McKissak..I am officially in love with you.

[cromag33]

AMAZING LOVE

I LOVE YOU

ALL GLORY TO GOD

[endairagoth]

WOW this is beautiful (:

[babyS1101]

I love this song!!! When I sing sometimes my throat gets pretty sore, do you know how I prevent this from happening??? thanks :)

[howdiduGUESS]

@babyS1101 it might mean that you're singing in your throat which can potentially harm your vocal coards

[panch202]

I just love your voice. I was born in L.A. but my parents moved away many years ago and though I miss it I am needed else where. But maybe you'll make it big on broadway and tour even little old Tulsa sometime. I proimise I will come see you. Maybe by then you will have moved up from prostitute to running the operation. lol

[babyS1101]

how do you vibrate your voice??? I REALLY need to know because I cant do it at all, your'e awesome, thanks :)

[inlovewjc7]

i do like her!

[redph0enix2000]

I heart u berry much..... :)

[broadwayluvr33]

Your voice is absolutely amazing. You are the perfect Kim. That was absolutely amazing. :)

[cliffsheets]

Have you auditioned for American Idol?

[cutiemoonie]

doing this for my musical theater contests heeheee

[Oscar101101101]

does any one know where to find the one with the little girl's voice??????? wow you are a grate singer!!!

[ABH1212]

This is amazing. It's my favourite song of yours. YOU should move HERE! (London, England) We have loads of great theatre here in the West End as I'm sure you are aware, so it should be a big deal :p. And if not, at least you are on youtube! Great singing :D

[haleygrace1]

That was awesome! Great job!

[frankieheartsful]

You are definitely one of my very best discoveries on YouTube.

You would be an excellent "Maria" in "West Side Story!"

[CMK206]

Incredible! So jealous! :)

[HeaTnXuXupXpNoY]

You have Heaven in your voice. Would you do In His Eyes from Miss Saigon?

[Isabellishous]

You have the moast beautyfull voice I have ever heard ! And I would really love to get your version of the song on iTunes!

[UnchainedRhapsody]

Beautiful :)

[reinaoro]

good job, but you should get a teachet to help you with the nasanity on those tops, contrary to one post here, they are not supposed to sound like that when you pitch, and it´s an easy problem to solve with practice, I encounter many singers with this problem, and once I teach them to open up and let those notes soar, they really go a few levels up. If you could learn to do that you would be phenomenal.

[ItsCherioBabesxx]

are you talking about nasality?

because if so i'm not entirely sure i agree, i think it's more of a twang going on at the top notes, i have to say it does sound a bit like she's compressing her tounge when she sings life but that's more of a pronunciation flaw than a singing flaw

it was overall a pretty sparky version of the song. x

[zzzaaann]

whats ur nationality?

[EssenceOfHope]

She's American. If you mean ethnicity I believe she's mentioned it somewhere before. She's half Japanese and Caucasian.

[zzzaaann]

one word.. "perfect"

[viet96angel]

u should really make a cd of all ur songs and put it on itunes for sale!

[hungvuhungvu]

Where can I find the BIO of this woman? Where was she born? What are her parents' ethnicity? Filipino?

[mepipeline]

Filipino mother + Scottish father = an angelic girl. Yes, Lana MacKissack is perfect to help Lea Salonga's role as "Kim" in Miss Saigon play. Lea's given birth to a healthy baby girl. She needs to take a vacation and rest a while.

[crva2000]

you are seriously a modern lea salonga. you are fantastic. i hope you go farrr and im glad to see that you are living in LA and doing musicals, best of luck in the future!

[mbordon56]

i agree

[superduperstar44]

I so wish I could see it! I know it would be so amazing just from this one song. Do you maybe have it videotaped?

[jlam88x]

Just fyi, she was the understudy.

[fightingirish26]

really good. im assuming you already know that your voice is exceptional so just want to look for other helpfull critisism's. I cannot tell by this what your stage facial expressions are so you may already know that they need to be bigger, but fot his distance the song is really perfect! keep it up, girl! youll go a long way!

[ABH1212]

Hello, I think you have a very beautiful voice and that you could really release an album or something. And I subscribed :)

[visionerist]

low voice i agree

[cdmsinger]

you've got a great voice! great job with a really difficult song.

[teiinah]

you blew me away i was shocked. you're so sweet sounding like disney in this video. love it!

[superduperstar44]

Wow that was so beautiful! I needed help with the tune so thank you too!

[koreangesture]

what's that sorry for..?YOUTUBE company might not get up with your apology..anyways..you're voice is nice..I like it..but i like more mines'

[fraseraj344]

i think it was amazing :)

and your high notes are awesome, whoever says they get nasaly, its called twang. its supposed to sound like that when you belt and use twang and lateral anchoring.

lana your amazing, GOOD LUCK! :)

[butterflykizzer123]

very cool low voice but you have to watch the high notes but its pretty good.. good job...

[vuhhnessaa]

OMG I SAW THAT SHOW! i didnt see you though. but your super good in this video haha!

[AtlantisPacific]

You sound beautiful on the low tones but the high notes become slightly nasal and sustained notes pitchy. I know you do justice when your mic'd up. : ) Wish you the best always.

[schools18]

damn you are making me want to see every single musical lol... i need to move to some place with a theater haha

[gem888]

ps. I think you should sing reflection from Disney's Mulan... just a request... haha. I reckon you would amazing at it,

[gem888]

Wow...I'm a dedicated Lea Salonga fan, and fastidiously can't imagine anyone else able to play the role of Kim, but you just changed that for me. I would kill to see you play the lead. You're going to make it big, and I wish I was American so I could see you when you do :)

[Musicalperformer92]

I remember when i asked for something miss saigon, on my other account a while ago = and thank you :D this is so great! you really did this song justice! can't believe you got understudy! you could totally take it home full time :D

by the way, if you would check out my singing videos I would be very happy :D

[Jem0024]

i dont know what happened in 2:36. but other than that, its real good.

[dailydenise]

1:00

[cmcpxo]

You are seriously amazing. Your voice is hauntingly beautiful. How exactly are you not on Broadway?

[imcoolikethat]

LOVELY low voice. very jealous

[ladyshkspre]

Ok, her sense of humor is growing on me but ONLY because she has such a fabulous voice. . .and because she is adorable. Great job!

[LesMisere]

I checked it out, and saw Jen Pz as Kim. I'd have loved to see you as well, though!

[jenneh6969]

I had goosebumps - you are absolutely brilliant - thank you for that.

[dinochompeth]

i didnt like ur performance because at the end of a lot of sentences u would sound like someone turning the volume knob from soft too loud. 'ive tasted love beyond all feeaaaAARRR!"

and ur vibratto was annoyingly slow.

i didnt believe u as a character. it just seemed like u would trying to show off how controlled ur voice was... and u were right, it was annoyingly TOO controlled.

[IneElg]

You sing like an angel..But you look like a bitch when you talk:P haha

[iriscwt]

miss saigon is my favourite musical and the only Kim for me has always been Lea Salonga. yet i have to say you totally fit the role! your look, your voice, everything!

[mellinox]

ahha dumb bitch doesn't even know she's bad!

[broadwaylove52]

lmao. you're kidding right?

she's amazing.

[lavenderstarz]

she got hired to do a professional production of Miss Saigon at REDONDO BEACH CIVIC LIGHT OPERA! that's a big deal! I auditioned for this production, and even ppl who did the tour or did it on broadway didn't get cast. So it's a big deal! ^__^

[elementz33]

bitch ass mother fucker shut the hell up and do it yourself then you fuckin wannabe fucktard

[Pianofectionist]

Wow! If you are the understudy the lead must be amazing! You would be perfect. I'm so impressed.

xo

[ErinNicoleLawson]

Beautiful...it brought tears to my eyes! :) It is unfair how beautiful you are lol!

[sampanni1]

you and your voice are truely awesome.

[kinkam1]

so beautiful:)

[Whytsaber]

YES YES YES!!! It was absolutely beautiful.

[Avri11avigne]

Snow White!!!

[igloria223]

your voice s beautiful!!!

[renethel]

that really is an honor to understudy a role that was originated by, the one and only, Lea Salonga! Jennifer Paz has worked with Lea Salonga b4, which is really cool. i wish that they could of made you an alternatre instead of an understudy, like they did with Monique Wilson on the West End/Broadway.

[kmaa269]

your voice is angelic. i love it!! make a cd with chester. ill totally buy it!

[LanaMcKissack]

Aw, thank you so much!

[cromag33]

AMAZING LOVE

I LOVE YOU

ALL GLORY TO GOD

[stawney]

Wow you are great!!

Stanley

[montomaniac]

Hi Lana, wishing you an awesome week. Your voice is so astounding. I'm so captivated by your performances and simply amazed that you're not (YET) on the big screen. one of my FAVS on this thing called youtube. -Joe Monto

[LanaMcKissack]

Thank you so much Joe. You are the best!

[drewson05]

Can you sing the other Saigon songs including the duets w your friend Remy I believe?

[thatasiangirl21]

how are you only the understudy?? do you think you'll get to perform as kim?

[LanaMcKissack]

I never performed as Kim, but I'm glad that I got to understudy Jennifer Paz. She was phenomenal.

[reillykurl]

I only came across this because I hadn't seen Miss Saigon in a while and I felt like checking it out, but I am truly impressed. You have a marvelous voice, and I'm sure you have one hell of a future ahead of you.

[freemadgirl]

nice..are you pilipino?

[LanaMcKissack]

Thanks! I'm half-Japanese, half-Caucasian.

[MsOpheliaPayne]

I absolutely cant get enough of your songs!

Bravo! God has truly blessed you with a wonderful voice.

[jillz530]

i went to see Miss Saigon today! you were so cute! great job! :)

[Patriaga]

Nice nice, can u do sun and moon too^^ if that's not asking too much

[LanaMcKissack]

I'd love to do that song at some point. But after this weekend I may need to take a break from everything related to Miss Saigon or I'll get too depressed. =)

[Tempari]

You sound so wonderful! xD

For some reason, your voice and you remind me of the princesses in the disney movies, lol.

[Shania828]

I watched Miss Saigon last night. My first musical ever. Great job! Amazing cast, I was very impressed. Please keep up the good work!

[NinjaCoto]

You're hilarious and awesome at the same time :)

that's the same face I made when I first heard the male chorus at the end of the background music too lol

[juntaomora]

very well done...you remind of Miss Lea Salonga...

[justmii2u]

Gorgeous!

[spadonna]

you should just have sang and not say a word..it's annoying and corny. No one can beat the original KIM, LEA SALONGA.

[yanisequeponer]

wow!

[6qrents]

You have a great voice Lana, I mean it.

Truth to tell I dont get tired of watchi... erm, of listening to you, I mean of listening to you...

:]

[SLAVEforLISA]

You do dramatic exceptionally well, Lana!

[Arriivaa]

Why an earth do I live so far away? Pity.

[mareko]

Dang woman, you're awesome. I wish I lived around there. I would definitely come see you perform.... :(

[tikitopi132]

Oooooooooh *_* GREAT!!!!

Do you know any song in Spanish? Christina Aguilera or other. I would love hear you in this language :)

AMAZING GIRL!

[LanaMcKissack]

Thank you! I don't actually know any Spanish songs except for one that I learned in high school...

Todo es pas hoy aqui,

Buenas noches, buen dormir,

Madre mia que nos vez,

Llevanos a ti.

[metalwar83]

LOL im telling people in the music department where i work at Barnes and Noble in Torrance to go see you play in Miss Saigon...lol i show them you on the back of the Four Rooms dvd and then say go see her play a hooker in Redondo Beach!!! HAHA yeah Lana!!

[6qrents]

[lpa91]

Yeah, my mom was just going to go downstairs and I was watching this video, and she said, dang that girl can sing! Haha. You've inspired me to sing this for my choir audition. =]

[chanjj18]

Wow, you'll do great in it. I cried when they showed the cute kids at the end, my gf at the time was laughing at me what a bitch huh that's why I dumped her. But its such great show. =D

[LanaMcKissack]

Haha! I cried when I saw Wicked and my boyfriend laughed at me. But we didn't break up. Maybe because Wicked isn't supposed to be sad.

[BazzyFrazzy]

teheehee!

Wicked is supposed to be sad! (well For Good is...)

your voice is amazing!

good luck! :D

[blentynatinima]

you have a very pretty voice

[TheRemyRadioShow]

Love it! As usual!

[LanaMcKissack]

Thanks Remy!

[chestersee]

my mom and i just watched this video and she said you have a beautiful voice and i said shut up! beautiful does not describe her voice then i punched her in her ear!

[TheRemyRadioShow]

Chester, you need to let me interview you on my show! I'll play your stuff on the air! Email me.

[LanaMcKissack]

Please thank your mom for me. And then tell her to punch you in your ear twice as hard.

[1momentinthyme1]

i love broadway...i've seen miss saigon twice and am sure you are a wonderful KIM...5***** for you here in yt and 5*****x more in the show!!!

[harmonyaddict]

Hmm, you asked if we had any questions.  Ok, what's the name of the girl who got the part so we can go make sure she's out of commission for a while so we can see you perform it?? ;) Ok, maybe that's not such a good idea. But you would be a PERFECT Kim, wow, that role is so great for you!! Congrats girl! And beautifully sung!

[4wildcat7]

Great job! And congrats on your part! Wish I could see you perform...oh well, good luck!

[jillz530]
