My high school chorus performed this song with no knowledge of the play or the story behind the characters whose voices we sang. As an adult, and knowing the story, I'm blown away by it. I wish I'd known when I was a child singing this. This version is gorgeous. Such powerful voices!
Why is everyone arguing over who is singing on this? Just do your research or buy the CD like I did. This is SONIA SWABY and JOANNA AMPIL. Jo's voice is similar to Lea's but you'll notice it's beltier and has more vibrato. A true Lea fan would notice this!!! This is the Complete Symphonic recording and NOT the London Cast cast recording. Well, that's my rant over! LOL
@ValtronW You're right! I never noticed it before. I always just saw the word that looks like a helicopter in the sunset. What an awesome logo that allows us to infer!
@Pigsx3 not really sure which "she" you're asking...if any of these: Lea Salonga, Isay Alvarez, Joana Ampil, or Emy Baysic? No, she's not. They're all Filipino.
@AJHSstar i would agree it's beautiful beyond words...however, i must say the Kim part is not Lea Salonga's voice...and i'm not sure if Gigi's is Isay Alvarez'. she may be.
@Purpleronnie82 i know Lea Salonga plays the Kim. But this song is a duet of the characters Gigi and Kim. Neither of the parts, IN THIS VIDEO/VERSION was sang by Lea. This one's from the MS 1995 Studio Cast where Lea is NOT a part of (Lea was in the MS Original 1989 London Cast). The voices here must be from Joana Ampil and Emy Baysic. Trust me i know Lea's tone. Though this one's close, some parts will prove it's not hers. If you're still unconvinced, check both albums in Amazon.com & compare
@JoJoPim hey, thanks for that info! i just guessed Gigi's part might have been sung Emy Baysic because she's the only other female in the cast with an Asian-sounding name.
@Purpleronnie82 ...or you can check the other The Movie in My Mind versions here in YouTube:
1. "Miss Saigon - The Movie In My Mind" posted by davenp07 -- this one's the 1989 Original London Cast where Lea sings the Kim parts of the song, while Isay Alvarez sings the Gigi part.
2. "Lea Salonga - The Movie in My Mind" posted by Ojiol -- here, only Lea sang the entire song. this was recorded from a portion of Lea's auditions, or probably during the casting already.
The version of the Netherlands is amzing to. Search on Miss Saigon - Een film draait door mijn hoofd 2011-2012. You have to listen. X

I can't stop listening to this. This song is so hauntingly relatable because everyone has a 'movie' in their mind about what life they want.

@MrAlterego101 This is from the full symphonic recording which IS Lea Salonga as Kim. Also, it clearly IS her!!!

@MrAlterego101 You are correct on the part of Kim. It was Joanna Ampil. However, Gigi was played by Sonia Swaby on this particular recording.
