  • This woman has achieved fantastic work. And this is no exception. Whether she's Fantine, Eponine, Kim, Jasmine or Mulan this woman is just flawless.

  • she is flawless. her voice is full of emotion, she sings every word from her heart.

  • Not as good as Ruthie certainly from a voice perspective.

  • EXTREME;Y AWESOME. THE BEST SINGER AND ACTRESS TO PLAY FANTINE EVER!

  • Shivers!

  • flawless!

  • one of the worlds greatest performer in stage

  • she just takes me straight there , so so good

  • wow - what a voice!!!

  • she is absolutely incomparable, her passion is like no other

  • jasmine and mulan =)

  • awesome!

    

  • I always love how she makes herself cry because it just adds to the song and draws you in. Even gets me tearing up. She's a wonderful singer and always will be.

  • Wow she's a good singer

  • Her interpretation of this song is the best ever.No one can topped it but the ever Leah Salonga.

  • i love the "and the tigers come at night, with their voice as soft as thunder" line

  • I swear at 00:48 she was gonna make me cry.

  • So theatrical...simply perfect. 

  • Legendary Fantine (per critics) Lea Salonga should NOT be mentioned in the same sentence as the throaty-voiced DOMESTIC STARLET CAREER-LESS HAS-BEEN Ruthie Henshall.

  • @archieanders But I love Ruthie... :(

  • Angelic voice!

  • Beautiful! Bravo! This song is the reason I've seen "Les Miz" 3 times!

  • no one can ever best this version

    lea salonga <3

  • Anyone else notice the wide open mouth for an "EE" vowel??? That's professionalism!!! Practice that, kids!

  • @operachild which one?

  • Love her!

    

  • So gifted and beautiful - my daughter is learning to sing and admires Lea so much, as do I. Thank you for sharing this. :)

  • Wow! Lea really puts the emotion of this song in the right place. She acts it perfectly. Although, Ruthie's voice on the 10th anniversary fits better the character, specially in the low parts of the song. Lea seems to have a hard time reaching some notes... I couldn't pick one... just love them both...

  • My favorite Fantine. Best ever.

  • the perfection of her performance of this awesome song makes me teary eyed like no other...

  • This defines the difference between good and bad actors...the ones with passion and honesty in every performance, and those who are in it only for the applause.

    This performance sent shivers down my spine. Outstanding, simply outstanding.

  • best version ever!

  • amazing voice!

  • Congratulations Lea for being one of the 12 Disney Legends for 2011!

    You're truly a Disney Princess! :)

  • @Aidan702. That was 16 years ago. This is now and amazing.

  • @Aidan702 Why is it that people like you feel the need to cut down beautiful talented people. This performance was just as beautiful as all of the other renditions of this wonderful song. If you can't find anything nice to say about it, keep your comments to yourself. If you can't seem to enjoy all beauty, you have a problem. Work on it!!!

  • great upload. lea is the best!

  • so was there really a time when men were kind and their voices were soft?

  • same - goosebumps

  • @Linseyap Ruthie Henshall doesn't know how to act. Has major difficulty singing, too. No wonder she's dubbed the "career-less, has-been starlet" next to her fellow UK singer, the international phenom Susan Boyle...

  • Excellent performance with the interpretation of the song vocally & facial expression. Lea Salonga is known to deliver flawless performances on stage.

  • Yeah, I realize people have their preferences and are entitled to their opinions, but disliking something this beautiful is absolutely shameful!

  • haaay kasalanan ang mainggit pero naiinggit talaga ako =/ ... he he he he

  • Beautiful voice, correct singing technique, clear diction, intense emotions. Simply PERFECT.  Makes Ruthie Henshall appear mediocre.

  • Paah Susan Boyle Seems Shockingly Bad Compared To This.

  • this is the best version on Youtube...only the parts of the song we care about, up close, you can see her every expression, and the sound quality is great. Thanks for posting!

  • Wonderful voice and music.

  • This is a living Fantine, with pain, with love and hope. Ruthie sang the song beautifully but life is not beautiful or at least not for Fantine. So what Lea brings simply exceptional, make Fantine more human and beloved

  • Lovely rendition.  Les Miz will always be my favourite musical ever! Lea was absolutely briliant.

  • All the best..Thanks Paco for sharing.

    Jeann

  • All the best..Thanks Paco for sharing.

  • wow

  • lea salonga never seems to age... amazing!

  • -O-.... I'll watch her concert on this Valentine's Day. HuRayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

  • Wow. Wonderful, and very moving. Ms. Solonga has the voice of an angel but she is no shrinking violet and in this song she is able to express in her face and voice the full depth of hurt, pain, and suffering endured by Fantine.

    I also appreciate how well made this video is, its truly HD, and it is perfectly synced between the sound and the picture (unlike several other clips on this site).

  • This is the best Lea Salonga ever and the best Fantine so far...

  • @wewewooo ya... Susan Boyle can't act while she's singing!!!

  • ¡FANTÁSTICO E IMPONENTE!

  • Lea puts her all into everything she does. A very talented lady. I love her!

  • Love her voice, so pure, so perfect!!

  • goosebumps...thanks for sharing

  • I hope I found more of 25th Ann videos like this one...
