Lea Salonga - Miss Saigon Part 1

[DeepIntoMySoul]

She was auditioning for Miss Saigon and yet she's already holding a flyer for Les Miserables not knowing she'd be playing Eponine at a later time. ;)

[GGPein]

I freakin' love her.

[rubyuukii]

what is the title of the 2nd song that lea's sing?

[jobaytube]

@rubyuukii too much for a one heart

===========================

Frail as a flower in the morning

is this tiny work of art

when i see his face before me

this is too much for one heart

Here like a seedling in the garden

is a world about to start

how i need you here to share it

this is too much for one heart

[LaSheefra]

@rubyuukii The Movie in my Mind :)

[akit678loveMUSIC]

@rubyuukii ...Movie in my mind....

[eatmars]

the way say the words with conviction damn

[arlin1980]

Saw the video for the first time 15 years ago and it is still touching me now !!

[rheahinlo]

i love those old-style cushioned chairs. now, they are monoblocs na. sakit sa pwet!

[MyErikhubby]

May I know what are the songs included here? I hope I can download those songs. I really love it and trying to sing it too. Lols! Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you :)

[unheajeon]

why would anyone dislike this

[bagingkagu]

they were so young then...

[evanz521]

i dont care!!!we love her!!!!tonta!!!

[itspennysboat]

oh shit this this is the kind of voice youd kill to have

[transientsonata]

I can't watch this without crying. She's such an inspiration and this was such an amazing part of her beginning her career.

[jan9ration]

i like the music and the song.very beautiful!!!

[slytherinnyc]

whats with the fake british accent madonna?

[jp81193]

ugh her vibrato. i die. she's perfect

[Cheriesings]

why does she have a Euro accent????

[dylandark05]

Reminds me of Billy Crystal in Analyze This/That.

[timlopez98]

Oh my goodness the guy is wearing a shirt that says philippines!

[cdltaug27]

SHE. IS. AMAZING.

[JosephHuntington]

Blind people sometimes miss the LIKE button. No big deal.

[BeccaWei25331]

I love her vibrato <3

[yuricaailene810]

wow.. 0 dislikes!

[painkiller7475]

where's miley cyrus??? lol..

[TnekOjaICE]

she's so talented. gifted ((:

[yeonjays]

@Missmidoria Sure :) I was a little off, or vague.. I meant a DVD or something like that. Still, I'm very very thankful that CD you mentioned exists.

[rikkulockhart15]

It's amazing how Lea Salonga was able to land a leading role in a West End production at such a young age and then move on to play the same role on Broadway 2 years later.

[yeonjays]

I love her.. too bad there's no official recording of Miss Saigon with Lea as Kim... that fact makes me so sad..

[MissMidoria]

@yeonjays Huh? I've had my 2 disc "Miss Saigon (Original 1989 London Cast)" CD for ages! You can get used ones on Amazon for $5.

[arjay26]

@yeonjays

well there is. if you mean the audio (no video) of the original play Miss Saigon, you can find it in record bars. I bought mine middle of 1990's i guess...

[mlsdc08]

in 8:44 on the right side, she is Pinky amador, . .she is also a Filipino ^_^ im proud to be a Filipino :D

[MissMidoria]

What amazes is how unassuming she is. She's so sweet and placid here. When she plays Kim there is so much passion, anger, joy, and sorrow. If I didn't know it was the same young woman, I would think it was two totally different people. That's how you know someone is truly talented.

[TheMasucu]

lea was adorable! wow!!!! shes like an angel singing...love to hear again and again

[xXPondeReplayXx]

oh she can do a british accent.. nice!

[TheKjemz]

love her low notes! <3

[MikroBadass]

here's where her life changed forever!

[joogleMEnow]

i cant believed that the 25th anniversary of Les Miserables would be their re-union, 20 years after this audition. They become old and legendary famous.

[etrnlygr8tful]

@joogleMEnow ..not quite because she was also in Les Mis 10th anniversary dream cast production & the Hello Mr. Producer before that, also a reunion for them when Lea ended her stint in West End when she was asked to do the show in Broadway....so the 25th is but one of several reunions for this team. I really hope they consider doing a 25th anniversary for Ms. Saigon...it is one of the best musical that deserved to be celebrated.

[jobaytube]

Lea Salonga with Claude-Michel Schönberg on piano.

Charice with David Foster on piano.

Arnel Pineda with Jonathan Cain on piano.

and the best of them all..

Manny Pacquiao with Freddie Roach on piano singing "sometimes when we touch".

what else can you ask for?

[10210dramaqueen]

she is amazingly sweet and talented!

[chanix18]

She sings with her heart.

[chanix18]

Effortless voice......such a wonder.....Keep it up Leah

[etrnlygr8tful]

@chanix18 ... "One Heart", for such a beautiful song too bad it got taken out from the final production...but, we are fortunate that Lea sung this in some of her concerts, she might have also included this in 1 of her albums..not too sure.

[jobaytube]

can somebody tell me the name of the song at 6:18?

[TheJayit]

she still sounded wonderful even in the part when she went a little off. LoL. Love Lea :)

[KTEL14]

I'm pretty young, so I only knew Lea Salonga for being the voice of Jasmine from Aladdin and Mulan (and her being Filipino and all). So I am glad I browsed through youtube to watch her music before the Disney princess era!

[akemi98suzaku]

o.0 is that president Ho Chi Minh

[akemi98suzaku]

wow...vietnamese...im so proud

[renzallen789]

Do we have the name of the song? I meant the first song she sang with the guy.

[ayanlanz]

@renzallen789 Sun and Moon from Miss Saigon play.

[ballermaniac510]

I just love her innocent face! ahhhhh! and then when she sings its like a goddess took over her body and is projecting a very beautiful voice! I wish she was still this age so I could meet her and marry her and we can both do Miss Saigon together!

[pirates120]

gives me goosbumps hearing this!

[MsChloe12]

does his shirt say philippines? :)

[TheKjemz]

3:13 "WHERE?" .. lol

[TheKjemz]

everytime i hear her sing,, it just melts my heart like ugh!! <3

[asd5320317]

So wonderful the little girl's voice is !

[maynedmaynards]

how old is she here ? :D

[kidlaughsalot]

@maynedmaynards i think 17 amazing!!!

[Ch40sPh4nt0m]

she's filipino and i'm proud of that :D

[drunkenprincess1900]

oh my! I remember watching this 'the making of miss saigon' way back in 1990!

Classic.

she's 10 times more amazing in live! I've watched her 6 times in broadway for les miserables and she's beyond amazing. she has this crystal-like voice that it's almost ethereal.

[jped816]

1:02 ...what's with him lol

[baldassare01]

what did Michel say to her after signing the poster?

[LipstickandCoffeex]

@baldassare01 He's mumbling, so the only part that I can make out is him reading what he had signed, which is "For Lea, who is very talented."

[baldassare01]

@LipstickandCoffeex  I thought it was "next time, bring a table as well."

[dohnpedro]

Lea's low register feels like home. :)

[SuperMusicfreak17]

@Andrea3L no :) it was her auditions to get the part of miss saigon :) the last part where she was with the group singing, yes that was the making of, but when she was singing alone on stage and with the piano, those are her auditions :)

[blahblah170833]

goosebumps



[lunafay15]

woohoo!!! ZERO dislikes!!!! XD

[Andreax3L]

Is this from "The making of miss saigon"?? :D

[scaner1018]

she has such a lovely range (means she can go low and high easily)

[1023bry]

My "straight" father weened us on Andrew Lloyd Webber, Cameron Macintosh, Steven Sondheim, and Better Midler. As I've grown older, I have come to realize what a privilege it was to witness Miss Saigon with Lea Solanga, and other productions, in person. Wow.

[jessicalexa22]

The show starts at 1:31. :) :) :)

[yuReruYoru]

<3

[jules121073]

Damn!! this made me fall in love with the young Lea of the Philippines! such an angelic voice! it made me watch this video over and over again! I hope to meet you in person.

[YoungWoongJae26]

Lucky her :)

[kylered363]

[aledu89]

@MsNyuchan Yes, Kim is supposed to be a Vietnamese girl and Chris an American boy ..... @mixovercast u need learn to read sweety.... "MsNyuchan" didn't ask Lea Salonga nationality but the characters :D

[MikroBadass]

[agentwaterfowl]

I've been a Lea fan since childhood - it's almost a requirement for Filipino girls lol - so I was really amused to see Jin and Yu fanboying over her (I'm a big fan of Yu in particular) :D

[Themeowworld]

[ryomich15]

Ms. Lea just tweeted Jin & shirota 3 hours ago ... saying "hello there"

i wonder what would be their reaction ? :]

[ryomich15]

wow ! i never though jin & Shirota like Lea Salonga !

I'm so happy as a fellow Filipino ^^

[xilizi]

[sandster101]

LOL, best top comment ever!!!!!!!!!!! xDDD

[chuuu2]

It's cute that Akanishi and Shirota like...they have goood taste :) Lea Salonga, my idol...proud to be Filipino :)

[TheSilviepie]

She has an amazing voice, but like this if you agree she suddenly got even more awesome because Akanishi Jin loves her voice. :P

[kaoru016]

her voice is beautiful!!

[AlexGodoyLever]

que increible voz

[sayurikarevalo]

oh thats interesting...thanks for the link jinny!! *chu*

[kakkashi982]

Thx Jin XDD

[RubyDesu123]

like if Jin or Shirota Yu brought you here..

[citizenlen]

Imagine their feeling of finally finding their Kim. Flash forward, Lea has grown into an elegant, beautiful woman. Lea will always be Cameron's wild card. When Frances refused the 10th anniversary, Lea was there to save it. After critics, audiences practically ran Daphney out as Fantine, Lea was the replacement. Thus boosting ticket sales. Same as Miss Saigon when she reprise her role. 25th Les Mis gave the anniversary west end/broadway royal status with her in it. Amazing to see her blossom.

[laceyflower]

just casually singing ya know!

wow.

[Shortypaolo17]

whats the title of the song 6:17?

[mischaila]

@Shortypaolo17 that's "too much for one heart". It didn't make it to the final play, unfortunately. I love that song too.. :)

[Shortypaolo17]

@mischaila Thanks !!!

I love the song Sun and Moon too

[mischaila]

@Shortypaolo17 You're very welcome.. and love that song as well!

[monicute1591]

wow.. cool.. i like her voice.. some say that my voice is also for broadways.. but i admit not as a proffessional

[ItsMusical]

was this the first time they met and heard her? she was very famous in the philippines back then, so i suppose they already had an eye on her when they came there?

[mccute0202]

i wish i have a voice like hers....

[ryer3]

@7:42 - you'll see the first 3 Kims of Miss Saigon - Lea Salonga, Monique Wilson (alternate), Jenine Desiderio (understudy)

[marileecruz]

@ 3:08 In the awkward silence, I think they meant to say... "I believe we've just found our Kim..." =D

[criimsonrose]

awww young lea is so cute! :)

[MrsLionheart]

Mind blown.

[cnaizhen]

I actually prefer this version of sun and moon. It will appear that the male singers tend to screw up their parts during the actual show.

[MadelynSophia]

What is the second song that she sings called?

[jozena27]

@MadelynSophia you think "the movie in my mind" (gigi´s part of the song)

[evelynof14]

Thank God they found Lea, or we wouldn't be listening to her now.

[websterstephanie]

I LOVE YOU LEA!!! :) hai..

[purelivingmusic]

thank you for uploading!! :)
