  • she so pretty here good smile lea

  • يا ربي صوتها رجع لي ذكريات الطفولة

    :)

    خاطري الحين اروح اتابع افلام دزني القديمة هاهاها

  • Lea Salonga is so gorgeous here. I adore her voice. Pure music.

  • ang galing mo po ate lea! astig ka ang linaw ng mga salitang lumalabas sa sa mga bibig mo ....salamat at may lea salonga sa pilipinas kong mahal

  • wooow

  • hehe Siguro kung may Singing Olympics, Philippines ang # 1.

  • It's like Mulan Singing lol because she was the singing voice of Mulan lol

  • @s612h Nah! voice of Jasmine!

  • WHATEVEVER... HAHA... AT LEAST REGINE AND LEA BOTH CAN SING... UNLIKE OTHERS ALL THEY KNOW IS CRITICIZE ..BUT WHEN YOU ASK THEM TO DO IT THEY DO HAVE MUCH MUCH MISTAKES..AND SADLY CANNOOOOOTTTT EVEN SING....AHHAHAHA...WHAT A FREAK....!!!!!! LOLS....

  • Proud to be a Filipino and proud of being part of the DOHA ASIAN GAMES>>> proud of having LEA SALONGA!

  • Regine is better but Lea Salonga is 5 times BETTER.

  • regine's not really good she can belt buy not so good

  • @pedrojuanification you betterwatch her other video for you to know better.. im not against lea .. but they Trained in diff. ways in diff. type of music ..

  • I don't really care if it was lypsynched, I think it's just a precaution because of the weather then. As long as it's Lea performing, I've got no problem with it, you can rely on her giving a world class performance. Partida pa yan, if it was live, people will have goosebumps coz she's well trained for a live one coz that's how it is in theater.

  • grabe i know its lipped.. pero damn.. ang galing nya mag lipsynch.. kung hindi lang super obvious yung track na recorded hindi ko mahahalata sa bibig ni ms. lea dahil tugma talaga sa bagsak ng kanta.. galing!

  • she's one of the rare singers/actress who can sing, act and talk clearly...while listening to her you can easily understand the lyrics of the song...such a powerful voice and beautiful face. and award winning what more can you ask.. whether this is prerecorded or not..i don't care as long as lea is the one singing..!!

  • i dont know why im crying when i lisent to this song meay be i remmber the best day at the world in doha

  • I am Filipina and Doha is my second home. Its not only me, but every Asian should be proud of Lea because of what she has accomplished as an artist.

  • Smile na smile pa lang ni Lea, PANALO NA!!!! Dapat sya, gawin nang 'National Artist'! NOW NA!!!

  • wew alam nyo ba na ang lamig ng time na yan nung kumanta sya kasi tag lamig yon. buti di sumikip ang dibdib nya. grabe kami nga naka jacket na nilalamig pa. Proud kaming mgap pinoy nun kasi pinay ang kumanta ng team song ng ASEAN GAME... hehehe

  • btf voice!!!! from thailand:D

  • @chaihun ... Yeah, we ASIANS should be proud of...

  • love this!!!go pinoys!

  • the most soothing and relaxing voice this world has..we love you leah

  • she juz delivered her first baby a few months before this event

  • is the gown she wears from Rajo Laurel?

  • I love Lea, very talented and intelligent. A woman of character and personality.

  • wow, lea look like a disney princess from atop...and with that gown! whoa....amazing...=D

  • lea has class. pang-international talga.

  • i love you lea!

  • another proof of Filipinos' being talented...

  • @kanzaki88

    they could have picked a better choice to sing the song? are you kidding me? who else could have sing this song better than lea? \m/

  • they couldt have picked a better choice to sing the song. and please lets stop hating on regine and comparing the two. they both have proven their worth in the business as singers so just cut them both some slack and just be proud of them.

  • isn't she a best choice?

  • Yes she is! With all that she has achieved as theater actress and singer internationally partcularly in the west, Lea Salonga brings pride to being not only Filipino but Asian. Just check out her credentials...too many to mention here.

  • The clarity of Lea's voice and diction is exceptional. You can even right down the lyrics of the song by just listening to her singing. She's a fantastic performer. There's a lot in the Philippines like her. I hope they'll get a chance to prove their worth too. Hollywood, is now start noticing the caliber of the Filipino talents. Look at Chrice Pempengco and Arnel Pineda, They are doing great in the US music scene. Mabuhay Filipinos!

  • yeah i agree with you. she's great!

  • Filipino Filipino Filipino! Taas noo kahit kanino Pilipino Ako!

    Special ang Philippines sa Asian Games kasi tayo ang host ng 2nd Asian games noong 1954

    basta lip synch man yan o hindi, ang mahalaga, Lea Salonga is really not only Pinoy's pride but Asia's as well.

  • Correct! it doesnt matter if she's lip synching or not. there's nothing more to prove. She is a stage performer for heaven's sake. haha. i'm really impressed! =D>=D>

  • It's soooo fantastic!

  • Lip synch, no lip synch, it's ultimately Lea's voice - and that's all that really matters.

  • i don't usually compare singers, especially when one is A WORLD-CLASS SINGER WHO WON A TONY AWARD and the other is JUST ANOTHER JADED FILIPINO SINGER WHOSE FANS THINK THAT SHE'S THE BEST JUST BECAUSE SHE COULD BELT HIGH NOTES, EVEN WHEN NOT NECESSARY FOR THE SONG. let's not even talk about INTONATION here. Lea's voice is crisp and won't give you a headache while regine's is totally annoying. it's like a metal file cabinet being dragged on galvanized iron. IT'S LIKE COMPARING CHAMPAGNE TO COKE.

  • I love Lea and Regine too. To be fair to Regine her Low Key album is the answer to those who thinks that belting is all that she knows. Lea is no doubt something I have always been proud of. :-)

  • @pocayama2: I agree. Regine is a belter and that's what her fans want from her but she can absolutely sing low key songs just as good. And Lea, wow she is wonderful and she can do power songs if she wants to. Yup! I saw and heard her belt but just one time at a very popular  evening variety show before and her soaring voice is totally amazing! I really can't really say if there were other times that she showcased her rare belting power.

  • coke's not that bad. maybe champagne to datu puti? hehehe,

  • Ang issue pa nga dati eh si REGINE V ang kakanta pero we heared 1# na hindi kasi hindi malinis ang english nya kaya hindi na tuloy 2# or tumanggi lang sya!!! pero we know na si MR Gary V ang kumanta ng theme song ng ASEAN games na ito. and ang balita sya dapat kakanta sa OPENING ng theme song kaso hindi namn alam kung bakit hindi nakarating pero still goosebump kasi pinoy parin ang gumawa ng album na ito kakatuwa lang! take note! 7,500 pesos ang ticket each!!! sa opening cermony nito.

  • lypsynch 'to - trust me. I was one in the ensemble durig the opening and closing. There were other performances from Jacky Cheung and Jose Carreras which were lip synched too. It's the director's call folks! Regine was never in the plan and gary was not meant to perform. He did the recording solely for the purpose of promotion.

  • @ronaldarugay This is not totally true.... it is not lip synced ....

  • hey this is not ASEAN games it's ASIAN my dear! magkaiba yan...I hope alam mo pagkakaiba nyan...

  • @leopauldo So now Regine V is sharing with the triumph of the One and Only Lea Salonga.

  • Most performances naman even sa Olympics Opening/Closing Ceremonies ay pre-recorded. They want [the telecast] to be perfect.

  • HINDI PO ITO LIP SYNCH! LIVE PO NYA ITO KINANTA! mahangin po sa labas ng stadium at nasa bahay ako noong nanonood nito i hear how she breath live ok!!! sa digital age super hightech mga ginamit nila dito!!! puro galing england ang mga gamit nila at DOHA! hellow!! mayaman kaya bansa nila bakit kailangan ng mga pipitchugin na sound system!!! may pera sila para mapaganda ang soundsystem nila!! basta LIVE SYA KUMANTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Those complicated live stadium events are 'lip-synched.' #1 - It makes for an error-free performance. #2 - Sometimes there is wind up there or the mikes could go dead. #3 - The performer in those OPEN arenas sometimes cannot see the conductor or hear the orchestra very well. Believe me, I know. I have worked in 2 of the Olympic Ceremonies.

  • she's so pretty...

  • peweeet!

  • GO!!! PINOYSSSssss

  • this was in december of 2006. Yup the song was pre-recorded. it's the last track of the doha asian games soundtrack. gary v. sang the asian game's theme song entitled "side by side" but was recorded only for the purpose of promotion. It was released though on a one-track cd and came as a bonus disc with the asian games DVD.

  • ako rin i just knew that she sang in doha asian games.......ilang taonkaya siya dito?does someone knew?matagak na ba ito=?

  • this is a lip sync :)

  • lea salonga never sang in lip synch

  • thats song of founditon day

  • wooooah! she really sends shivers down my spine every time she sings...

  • ngaun ko lang nalaman na kumanta pala si lea sa doha asian games. with her performance...WOW! Im proud to be a filipino!

  • If you want to be even proud of Lea Salonga and being Filipino, watch here in You Tube Les Miserables (10th year Anniversary) "On My Own" where in she plays Eponine in the Dream Cast concert.

    But hey, the Tony Award and Sir Laurence olivier award should be enough to make her our pride.

  • aww i was hoping that she'd perform at the Beijing Olympics.. but Sarah Brightman was good too

  • shit!! tumindig balahibo ko sa batok sa knta ni lea salonga!! wooh!!! gling!im proud of u!!! great voice!im proud to be a pinoy!!

  • galing tlga ni lea considering n nsa mtaas n lugar sya. kitang-kita nya ang mga tao galing sa iba't-bansa ng southeast asia. mabuhay ka lea!

  • i love lea!

  • hindi pa rin talga naaalis ang crab mentality sa isip ng ibang pinoy... kailan kaya magbabago ang mga tao sa bansa natin.. kc pag nagbago na ang mga pananaw ng tao at di n makikitid ang utak hindi malayo ang pag unlad ng Pilipinas na mahal ko... masaya sana.

  • What an inspiration!

  • mga putang ina kayung mga regine fans.. dun kayo sa video nya magcocoment... pwede ba kung di nyo gusto si lea wag kaung manood ng videos nya...

  • You better shut your stinky mouth!

  • i cant believe that a person would actually have a clear and nice voice..her voice is not only angel-like but much more..u would think that the song was recorded but nooo,,its live!.Woow..im proud to be a Filipino,,regardless of the issues that our country is currently facing..im proud to be one..^^

  • i hope she can sing in the olympics =)

  • wer can i get the lyrics of this song??

    plz let me know

  • google it.

  • one of the pride of the philippines ms. lea salonga.... the best singer in asia came from philippines

  • luv her!!

  • She is really good!

    Philippines is the home of "Best Singers in the World" ...

    There are still a lot of Filipino singers who are brillliant,yet still undiscovered!

  • Looking beyond the performer, I truly like the lyrics of the song and vocal arrangement. I believe it truly captures the soul and essence of the Asian Games. ;)

  • She's such a great singer!

    Love her! =)

  • i miss thos days on asian games it was the best days ever did any body was working there

  • i like the song she sang it good.

  • KUDOs to all the filipinos.Nobody can take away the Philippines from every single filipinos heart.

  • she's really one of the best asian artists of all time...

  • One of the best artists of all time, regardless of race I'd say.

  • One of the best artists of all time, regardless of race I'd say.

  • if this was regine she'd be blowing her head off at the end. lol.

  • pretty good song.. she sang it good.

  • a world class filipino star! I'm proud of you lea!

  • i am so into lea, she sings without belting but she does better than the belters. with lea words/lyrics is understandable. she doest swallow the lyrics. u truly appreciate the song meaning and what it wanted to convey. she is the julie andrews in asia. gracias, lea.

  • ang linaw ng accent...100%

  • do you have an INSTUMENTAL VERSION OF THESE SONG?! pls UPLOAD

  • awesome...bongga pa the effects ha...ganda ng pgkanta ni Ms. Lea..tama c marcogionko..- I SAW POWER..hehe...

  • they are both awesome but they are different in lots of ways..so please dont compare them :) just be proud of them both!

  • Look how pretty she is even though she's on her late 30's.....Still the best!!

  • Beautiful!!!

  • i love how she smiled to the crowd after the song... I COULD SAW POWER.

  • I SAW POWER! heheh

  • Sayang nde ko ito napanood.. langya ang mahal kasi ng ticket nung closing ceremony

  • no she doesn't, she's much prettier, i think. paula abdul has a very "angular" figure

  • Yuck, everything with paula is fake!

    Lea has a natural beauty.

  • what's with some people comparisons of other great talents. lea and regine are two different singers with great talent with different styles. stop comparing. kindly stop. thank you

  • what a great stand she is on... she's practically above the rest of the people present in that place.. PROUD OF U LEA!

  • im proud to be Pinoy!!

    it s just a manifestation that Filipinos are world class performers..and im one of them!!

  • i'm proud of you leah! hope to see you in your concert here in bacolod.

  • i can see some filipino athletes and delegates waving the flags below that big "torch".

  • wee. ang galing talaga ni Lea... world class artist tlaga..cute pa ng smile niya on the last part.. proud to be a pinoy

  • the song is really meaningful.... wow...

  • actually nakikita yan sa mga fans.

    Regine's fans: yanababy11, jfrl4872, mike2start, mga jologs na bading, mga tambay sa kanto

    Lea's fans: PGMA, London's Royal family, Pres. Bush & other sosyal people.

    there, now make that comparison.

    one thing that lea possess is CLASS, something that regine WILL NEVER have. tapos ngayon sila ni ogie!? tsk tsk tsk.

  • correct. regine? she's nowhere.

  • regine just happens to be a great singer, please don't compare lea and regine for each of them has their own talent. can't we just be proud of both of them? :(

  • Of all the Filipino singers, she's the most admired around the world. She might not be the best, yet, she always carries herself with grace pomp and style. Sharon, Regine, Pops, etc. they've yet to prove themselves with the top impressarios, most notably from Broadway.

  • lea is different so are the other filipino talents. sharon has her own singing style so with others. lets not set the standard up and down. appreciate what they have. thank you

  • Your comment is well noted. As a Fil-Am, and in reality proud of their achivements it was really tempting not to categorize. Anyhow, thank you........salamat.

  • Guys (the ones who are fighting),

    I gather that all of you never really understood the song. Try to understand it first before all of you lash each others back. Sheesh, stop hating. Both of them are Filipinas. Both of them made the Philippines proud. All of you should learn from it and stop this nonsense fight. Can't you guys see? All of you are saying that you're proud to be a Filipino, and yet here you are, tearing each other apart. Wow..So much for being proud.

  • Why can't you guys just be happy that a FILIPINO sang at this event? Besides, the song was clearly arranged not to be sang in the style of Mariah/Whitney/Celine/Regine.

  • duh?? lea is dfntly incomparable..compare to regine? huh? Does she even know what a Tony award is? until her dreams, she's never having one... i call her(regine's) singing "shouting and screaming with style" hahahaha.

  • well pare pareho silang magagaling & may kanya kanyang style,magkaiba lang ang type ng voice nila,basta let's be proud na lang at meron tayong ganito kagagaling na singers...

  • very classy, walang birit, walang OA, very neat performance--a true classic...Wish ko lang she sings in the 2008 olympics.

  • Im proud of her, she stood in front of millions of people..she cool

  • oh my god....

    we have the best singers in the world...

    kahit saang kanto makakarinig ka ng maggaling kumanta...

    pinoy rules

  • regine who? i know regine kabit ni ogie heheh...i saw her in vancouver concert..even met her in person..last 1997..i used to like her but not anymore..ewan ko lang..naging oe sya at puro retoke ang katawan eh...sorry opinion ko lang...

  • i just want to add something...don't compare lea to regine..because regine is nothing compared to lea...period...

  • Ang galing ng ating mga pilipino artist, we should all be proud,first Regine in a Millenium Event, now Lea in Qatar, both fantastic singer in thier own right. Mabuhay kayo!

  • c lea lang ang kumanta ng lupang hinirang ng tama!

  • tama na nga yan...ang babadoy nyo...wala naman daat i compare, kasi lea is incomparable to anyone...she is larger than life... she's reap the peak of her career here and abroad... and regine is a nice person in fairness... gusto ko nga mga concert silang dalawa eh...it's a feat... sa states uso ang duet ng great singer...its not possible for lea and regine to do a duet sana before they get old ano?

  • This song is truly amazing!!! Wow!! She is a great performer!!!! Great voice!!!

  • Crystal Clear pag kumanta si LEA S.

    Please lang wag syang i compare sa mga singers na walang ginawa kundi sumigaw pag nahihirap na. Na NGO NGO na sila pag kumanta.

  • this makes us proud being a filipino here in doha, qatar.

  • dont compare regine to lea...regine is nothing. she just SCREAM......mga di kayo marunong mag appreciate what music really is!

  • incomparable crystal clear voice of lea! BEAUTIFUL RENDITION!

  • REGINE VELASQUEZ can surely sing this song just as good, no doubt about it---only that LEA SALONGA is definitely the bigger star. But Im proud of them because they're Filipino stars always waving the Philippine Flag in truly awesome ways they can...

  • oh lea is more good than she is

  • The BEST! Regine is good but Lea..THE BEST!

  • Please read FabgurllYX comments!!! Shes Obviously INSECURE!!! and absoulutely IDIOT!!!!!! mamatay ka sa Innget!!!!

  • An inspiring song which i dedicate to the TRIUMPHANT ONE. when u feel down, u can listen to this one and think of that TRIUMPHANT ONE so that you will BOUNCE BACK and get back to your senses..hehe..

  • listen up, ignoramus...lady's and gentleman, FROM THE PHILIPPINES, WEST END AND BROADWAY AWARD WINNING ACTRESS AND RECORDING STAR, MISS LEA SALONGA... DO U HAVE THAT? THICK FACED FAG!!!!

  • idiot!!i'm sure you're ugly bitch...

  • saphemyst.regine rufuse an ofer to miss saigon research and back up ur fuk** words. puro ka salita di naman totoo. sorry pinili lang ni regine mag stay sa pilipnas. para sa family nya

  • REGINE SIMPLY CANNOT JUST WITHSTAND THE GRUELING AUDITION... DI LANG PATAASAN NG BOSES DITO DONG, TALINO? brain... regine simply dont have the BRAIN? SORRY HA HA HA

  • oo nga! magdudgo ilong nun sa english!

  • i'm sorry, a friend of mine told me that regine wasn't chosen because of her accent.. it was a private auditon, as in mga producer and directors lang ang nandun... and she wans't chose, pnalabas lang na humindi siya sa offer because she can't wear skimpy bikinis on stage in front of thousnads. but it was really her accent and lack of theater experience. my friend's aunt was my source, she was within the miss saigon circle.

  • i'm sorry, a friend of mine told me that regine wasn't chosen because of her accent.. it was a private auditon, as in mga producer and directors lang ang nandun... and she wansn't chosen, pnalabas lang na humindi siya sa offer because she can't wear skimpy bikinis on stage in front of thousnads. but it was really her accent and lack of theater experience. my friend's aunt was my source, she was within the miss saigon circle.

  • regine confirmed this already. she was never offered the job.

  • i admit regine is a great singer, mas mataas pa boses niya kay lea and if she try hard enough she can be better than lea in terms of voice quality, but not as an artist. just look at lea, even her silence inspires people. kelan ba natin nakitaan si lea ng karumaldumal na behavior???

  • i love lea salonga very much she always make us proud through the years, hope you always continue that not only for yourself and family but also for the filipino people.......

  • Lea's singing was perfect but I dont like the song

  • this singer is just great! her voice is just so wonderful. one moment sweet, one moment strong. and she never shouts the high notes. very pleasing to hear

  • Ur wrong!!! DOHA televised not only in Asia, in fact i watched it in closing ceremony in BBC/CNN World news in Canada :-)

  • I have watched this moment in Doha. Amazing!!!!

  • 1 Billion people accross the World watched Asian Games closing Ceremony--- Ms. Lea Salonga Rock the stadium of Doha at that moment!!!!!!!!! Soooo Amazing!!!!! i saw you in the TV!!!! i was so proud of you!!!!!! your a big shot!!!

  • It's not all over the world dude, only Asia but you're right, she's an amazing singer. I was there in Doha on that night and I was moved. I like her.

  • omg i cant believe what shes wearing!!! green and black with sequence flower..is that a corsage? eeww!! Worst fashion mistake ever!! she can do better.. but amazing, amazing voice.. i still love her though, all stars makes fashion mistakes sometimes..

  • but she has to cover her body because she's in an arab country.. lolz. but still they could have chosen better gown for her, no? ;(

  • She's wearing a creation of Rajo Laurel. One of Manila's Top Fashion Designer. I think the gown is lovely. It suits her.

  • Gotta love Lea!

    That's some dress!

  • i am here in qatar ryt now.... kakataba tlaga ng puso n taga sa atin ang kumanta sa asian games closin ceremony... sayang c gary bakit di cya ang kumanta ng live nung opening... anyways boses pa rin ni gary ang nasa original cd ng asian games...
