The only Asian Actress to win both the Tony Award, USA, and the Sir Lawrence Olivier Awards, UK, Congratulations Lea Salonga, that is quite an achievement, a big fan from Hollywood Ca
did you notice, for both auditions here they show "to much for one heart", because it's such a beautiful song, and then they had to cut it out of the show...
it really comes down to what the directors and creatives want...seriously...these two girls are both so beautifully and equally talented! lea just happens to be more fitting in the eyes of the director and creatives...im not demeaning lea in anyway; she is my favourite singer and she is absolutely amazing!! but i can seriously see monique taking the lead role...wow
NAGSAMA TONG DALAWA NA TO..MGA WALANG MAGAWA SA BUHAY..KALA MO NAMAN TUMUTULONG SA MGA MAHIHIRAP...ENGLISH ENGLISHAN LANG...MGA PERPEKTONG BWESIT.....PWEEEEEEE....I HATE THEM BOTH..WEHHHHHH...
I think the first time I saw Monique Wilson was in a movie with Sharon Cuneta and Sharon was manhandling her against a wall. Wonder what the name of that movie is...
Ang Pinoy nga naman Oo pag baluktot ang English ni Pacquiao pinupuna at pinagtatawanan, pag perfect accent naman tulad ni Lea pupunahin pa rin. Ano ba talaga kuya?!!!
@TeeJoe18 Korek ka jan, mga tao nga naman kaya nga tayong mga Pinoy nade-describe na may "crab mentality" hahanap ng hahanap ng butas na mapupuna! Umayos ka ilovekaiser at ilan libo pang mga Pilipino, siyempre hindi lang mga Pilipino kungdi lahat ng taong may ganitong sakit!
@ilovekaiser and @Ellie8969 She lived in ENGLAND! She was born in the Philippines, but moved to Europe with her family when she was (I think) 7. She says so in an interview. Sheesh!
@RandomChara did she? reports i've read before say she spent her first few years in Angeles City, then moved to Manila. nothing was mentioned about her living in england. but if she said so in an interview, hmm... now i'm curious. maybe i should look it up somewhere.
@ilovekaiser english is taught in the Phillipenes usually by British people. And then she perfected her English in the US. She has a combined accent. Not so much these days though
Is there anything this girl can't sing? Wow! I love Lea Salonga. She is my favorite female performer. To me that's saying a lot with all the talent that is out there in the world. She can sing cirles around most anyone!
Wow, I lovee Lea Salonga, she's just so blessed to have such an amazing voice, talent and intelligence, and I AM filipino and really proud to be as well, but I just HATE how arrogant my race is. Seriously, it's so bad to go shout to everyone that " FILIPINOS ROCK," and that selfishness just ALWAYS circulates around my country especially when they have some kind of star like Lea who's INTERNATIONALLY known, esp. the US *Charice* and they start blabbing it to people about how 'awesome' we are D:
@BlueMJBerries It seems I have found a common soul. Thank you. I am the same as you, Pinoy and all, but I love Lea Salonga, whether we are born in the same country or not. I would love her even if she's french, english, or american.
@Infantcide You're welcome! Glad to hear it. And yes, it's just insane, how we're comparing RACES here when it isn't supposed to be so in the first place! This is what nationalism--too much pride for your country--does to another. -_-
does anyone know if there's a full performance of lea salonga singing "too much for one heart" when she was around this age? i like her voice singing this song better when she was younger ):
These two girls were chosen not only because of their terrific voices but may also be because of the true innocence they exude which they found only in the Philippines. This can never be duplicated again in our lifetime. so we must savor it now.
@atcroccas Being patriotic is admirable but making false statements, tactlessly based on mere opinion and not on facts is idiotic. Expose yourself first to theater and other cultures to broaden your mind. Get yourself exposed and try to think before you speak.
oh common shut it off!! Im also filipino, pero korny na masyado ang reaction ng iba dito, lets be proud of her as a talent not keep on raising because they are filipino or not, let just be happy for them for being magnificent not because of raised or whatever!!! if we filipinos are talented then so be it, we should stop keep on to shout at it, let the people around the world fell, see and amazed not were the one forcing our raised to evrybody
@atcroccas Wow, h please don't push it too far, dude. That's selfish, consider the facts! Stop comparing other races to the Filipinos! 'True innocence' exudes in EVERY country, not only the Philippines! Wow, think before you speak! I would STILL love Lea Salonga just the same if she was Asian, Caucasian, African, you name it.
The song is entitled Too Much For One Heart. It was omitted from the repertoire and was replaced by Please. Lea sang it in one of her Broadway Concerts. Loved that song too.
\the song is called "too much for one heart" but it was taken out of the show and replaced by the song called "Please". You can see her sing the full version in one of her broadway concert DVD's with the red colored cover:)
Both have nice voices Leas tone is just angelicly sweet and she handles her voice much better than Monique That's why Lea was the obvious choice for the plum role of Kim
There is another video of this in which someone in the seats yells at Claude Schonberg and the girl singing because Claude was trying to help her. What a dick?! "Were not doing a f****ing movie here?" is what he said and a whole bunch of other shit!
Hey! patpong2000 are you a fan of Monique?your not in the inner circle where we live in like Monique are ou from Lasalle Ateneo asumption or Collegio de San Agustin like me my senior is Mikee C. and Kris Aquino do live in Alabang or Dasma?member of the Phil conservatoy? have you even attended parties with the Littons or Ayala's?Haha! if you only knew what she did in Megamall atleast there is no video cam,Matapobre! mayabang!she's not even that rich and famous that is why all of us witnessed WTF!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
poor monique! what a scene, too insecured maybe, coz she's absorbed by glitzy, fame, filthy rich, inner cirle of ppl which she tried to belong too..oh how pathetic.. keep your cool, errrr she's human too u know.. ppl make mistakes..
I think i know what incident your talking about aupian i think its in Greenbelt is that the washroom incident?Ppl think that they look wholesome and nice in TV they are also nice in person ,just like the Sott'os and even the presidentiable Lacson if they only knew how many ppl he ordered to kill bc he's a member of MISG,Back to Monique yep shes an asshole once in a while haha! in social parties,hey so your from CDeSA kaklase mo si Binay im from Dasma village.
No Binay is one batch ahead of us classmate niya sila Kris Aquino and Mikee Cojuanco, im from Alabang hills village and no its not on greenbelt its in Megamall, and yes its the washroom incident how she acted and trying to scold this 2 persons.
let us celebrate being different from each other without putting hierarchy on each other's race. Time to move on and solve more complex issues in human race
...and the very nice lady that played Kim in the Dutch production is also a Filipino! ...and is also very smart and now works for the European Space Agency!
I think Lea was chosen not only because she looked more "asian", but also because she looked and sounded sweeter and more innocent than Monique. Monique did a great job but she sounds more "extroverted" and less innocent.
I agree with you! When I first saw this, I was like: Okay, that sweet girl has to play Kim - no doubt. And when I heard Monique sing I thought: She'd be great as Mimi! It's just Lea is more innocent.. I can't even imagine her as Mimi.. ^^
the musical Oliver (starring Rowan Atkinson, aka Mr. Bean), is playing right now on this very theatre where Lea and Monique auditioned for Miss Saigon.
Both of them have great voices. But I think the main reason why lea was chosen to play kim because she looks more asian (chinita) than monique wilson. Monique is very mestiza. she looks like an american. and the story of the play is all about vietnam/asians. So, Its really obvious na ang kukunin talaga nila diyan ay someone na hindi lang maganda ang boses kundi someone na mukha talagang asian at maganda ang boses. Its kinda odd naman kung vietnamese ang character pero tisay ang nag portray.
i really really like lea, im a huge fan of her, but on this video,it seems that monique had a better voice quality... just an opinion...lea sung "too much for one heart"
well, i have to say a friend of mine, a music school owner and performer herself, had a similar complaint about lea when performing a concert. i can only say that lea is a very subtle performer. she may not do dance numbers, but she expresses herself vocally, and you have to pay attention to catch on to the nuances that she does in the songs.
eh you already know the style of Lea's song.. why did you watch? hehe.. Don't watch if you don't like the artist bec. you will end up complaining..coz at the first place..you're not a fan.
baka naman gusto mo eh rock concert or poprock kya ka na bored,dapat hindi ka na sumama pag ganung alam mo ang theme ng concert, yan 2loy na bored ka...nexttime make sure of where you will be and how you have to be...stupid
May pagkagago ka rin tarantado kang animal! bakit di ka magcomment tungkol sa video at hindi sa nagbigay ng comment. kung puwede ka lang tadyakan sa pagmumukha baka ginawa ko na ng sampung beses sa putangina mong pagmumukha!

i remember that was one of the contentions that they had between lea and monique.
for me, another thing is that lea has a presence about her, especially in that show, that really takes you in, makes you think she's really kim, and empathize with the character. monique does have a great voice, but i think her personality didnt fit as much with the character in the key points.
Grabe ka naman pinoyvoice... Lea was carrying our country name. Have you forgotten that.. or maybe you don't know. Seniors must be respected in any field. You don't have that values..do you? uhmm..
they're both good. just that they gotta choose one kim. just one! and so happens that it was lea who won the role. but that doesn't mean monique isnt good. like i said, they're both perfect 4 the role.
Is that so..well, the judges/selector..hehe whatever they're called..didn't seem to have same mind of yours. Good if you're there to choose. but you your opinion.
haha.. Lea got it..she knows how to handle..coz u need also to be something diff. Well, thanks for sharing the video "in the heights".. it was nice and ofcourse its the modern one and its the trend now.
To broadway..:Is that so..well, the judges/selector..hehe whatever they're called..didn't seem to have same mind of yours. Good if you're there to choose. but its your opinion.
i love the song too much for one heart. its such a shame they took it out of the show. its one of the best songs, along with i still believe and i'd give my life for you
it's called Too Much For One Heart. it's probably the best song from miss saigon, but was unfortunately thrown out. she sang the whole thing at a concert somewhere, its on youtube.
pag ganito ang kinakanta sa pilipinas wlang pumapansin dpat biritan....hehehe..

the musical Oliver (starring Rowan Atkinson, aka Mr. Bean), is playing right now on this very theatre where Lea and Monique auditioned for Miss Saigon.

Both of them have great voices. But I think the main reason why lea was chosen to play kim because she looks more asian (chinita) than monique wilson. Monique is very mestiza. she looks like an american. and the story of the play is all about vietnam/asians. So, Its really obvious na ang kukunin talaga nila diyan ay someone na hindi lang maganda ang boses kundi someone na mukha talagang asian at maganda ang boses. Its kinda odd naman kung vietnamese ang character pero tisay ang nag portray.

it will never happen. Lea is destined to be the Miss Saigon and a great name in Broadway scene.

you know why lea was chosen to play kim?
because the role kim really fits on her.. plus she looks more innocent than monique...

Laos na si Lea, ang boring kasi kapag nagconcert...nakatulog ako nun napanood ko sya dahil siguro sa kinakanta nya...para kang umattend ng libing!
goodpoor1234 3 years ago
well, i have to say a friend of mine, a music school owner and performer herself, had a similar complaint about lea when performing a concert. i can only say that lea is a very subtle performer. she may not do dance numbers, but she expresses herself vocally, and you have to pay attention to catch on to the nuances that she does in the songs.

chocofield 3 years ago 2
i remember that was one of the contentions that they had between lea and monique.
for me, another thing is that lea has a presence about her, especially in that show, that really takes you in, makes you think she's really kim, and empathize with the character. monique does have a great voice, but i think her personality didnt fit as much with the character in the key points.

they're both good. just that they gotta choose one kim. just one! and so happens that it was lea who won the role. but that doesn't mean monique isnt good. like i said, they're both perfect 4 the role.

The documentary "The making of miss saigon" is probably the best and a more detailed approach to video compilation of any broadway in the making.

it's called Too Much For One Heart. it's probably the best song from miss saigon, but was unfortunately thrown out. she sang the whole thing at a concert somewhere, its on youtube.
