The fact that people can sing tells me that not everything in this world is bad. I mean, there are other things, but a person singing, actually singing, is one of the most amazing gifts for us.
I just discovered Lea Salonga... Where have I been ??? I have heard of her of course...
" Miss Saigon". But I have been to Saigon,
Miss Salonga has not... So, I did not want to travel down that road again. However, while listening to some of my favs on u-tube I saw this Andrew Lloyd Weber medley. As I just love Weber's music, I thought I'd give Lea a try.
WOW... A beautiful woman who can act AND
sing !!! She just made me a fan. The voice and face of an angel.
@pianolover55 she is almost the best i know, i guess it is because she has no personal "style" as she always says somebody else songs instead of her own
@8sherwin8 id disagree with you on that, Elaine paige is the queen of Broadway, then there is the holy trinity of broadway, Patti Lupone, Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga and then there is the Goddess of Broadway, Barbra Streisand
Lea Salonga is in my top 10 list of the best singers ever and is on my top 5 as one of the most beautiful women ever with Natalie Wood at my number one spot!
Patti Lupone has serious vocal approach issues, "scooping" the notes instead of hitting them straight. She might have done the role, but vocally, she doesn't even come close to Salonga.
Well, Kim(Miss Saigon) & Eva(Evita) are two completely different characters. Lea is depicting the self-confident Eva, you can't really compare that to a 16 years old character who just fell in love with an American soldier... SO OF COURSE IT SOUNDS DIFFERENT
she sing i dont know how to love him better than most people i've heard. seriously. But all of this is world class. Jesus chris superstar is my favourite musical though. Please listen to my vbersion of gethsemane if you get a chance.
@ksmith05 surprisingly I kinda agree with you... When she was young (in Miss Saigon) she sounded very humble. Now she kinda... changes. Just my opinion.
@tripleaxell She starts with "Don't Cry For Me Argentina", then "I Don't Know How To Love Him", I don't know the third, and she finishes with "Don't Cry For Me Argentina".
woowowow!! que tiempos!! me hace recordar una d las etapas mas grandes de mi vida. la magia de sentir el teatro, el escenario!! wowow se extraña -- lic manquero hay nada d planes???
In ten or twenty years (or with the help of prosthetic makeup) Lea Salonga could be a great Norma Desmond. She has a wonderful voice and can be very theatrical if required. She could also be a great Eva Peron, as notfauxnooz has suggested.
such an easy voice to listen to..so clear and stunning. and watching her sing is just amazing! she tells the story with every word. her eyes believe what she is singing. true artistry.
very smooth transition...i love her voice.
