@kellydejong Yeah you are hearing correctly. But she is in fact, adding melodic ornamentation to it... if you're not a douche like I am :P then like, she's putting her own spin on it... actually I don't think that's ornamentation... but yeah I think she's just decorating it more :D
I think Joanna's an ok Kim, but Lea definetly sounds a lot better and passionate. As for Ruthie, she sounds great here! Maybe not as great as Claire, but still pretty damn good! ;D
@lesmizfanatic90 Only your third favourite Fantine? I can't even listen to Pattie Lupone in the original cast album because I think Ruthie Henshall's version is so much better. And I love Pattie Lupone.
i instantly disliked Ellen; but she did nothing wrong, just very tragic. Chris has a lot to answer to; but who can judge.love the musical and always have done since my sister introduced me to it in 2003. shows life happens.
This is my favorite Miss Saigon song. I like Joanna Ampil's interpretations and singing in some of the other songs such as her showdown with Thuy, Movie in my Mind, Finale. Not so much on this song. Lea set the bar high on this one. Ruthie is the highlight on this one, just my opinion.
I saw this on Broadway during my senior year in high school. That was 1996. These songs still send chills up my spine when I hear them. Truly withstanding the test of time...
@Drumfanatic14 I guess its just preference. But as for me [I'm a man and don't doubt that....], I would wait for any chance to search for her. I guess I'm just a Masochistic guy who prefers to have nothing if I can't have the best....
I do hope that what he felt for Ellen is love not gratitude cloaked as love.... That would be most cruel...
That Ellen sounds like Ruthie Henshall. Forgive me if that was mentioned already. LOVE HER! Lovely voice both soothing and strong amongst her various other talents.
I sung this today!¬ with a friend, lol i aint a alto, im a sop, but i sung ellens part and I love singing it! Id think id wanna play her if we did it, but we cant cos the copyright aint out in the uk :( xxxxx.

When he left Kim for the last time, he expected to come back to her. when he couldn't he believed her dead so he moved on.
So Kim doesnt know about Ellen cause shes not in the USA.

It was my impression the CD was the original actresses.
My point was most covers of this wind up with a strong Kim, but weak Ellen.
