can you post lea singing "i'd give my life for you?" from the dvd? i think it's the song cut at the end of your vid. i will appreciate it very much. :D and i'm sure other people here will, too.

[ed10908]

I think that song is not included in the cut.

[alexwmusic]

OOH! Is this from a DVD or something?!

[ed10908]

Yup... it's from the Making of Miss Saigon (DVD Copy)

I noticed the presence of David Foster was here in this audition too @ 2:14...Lea Salonga, you are already became a Highly Accomplished Broadway Legend, there's nothing more to prove...Thank you...

@ProudFilipinoMan , well, I guess if you put it that way, but if you look at it from a different perspective, Miss Saigon is a musical set during the war in Vietnam, and tells the story of one girl's life. and, what do you expect? The bar was in Vietnam. Of course the prostitutes are Vietnamese, or other nationalities close to Vietnam. It'd be kinda weird to see an American prostitute in a Vietnamese Bar during the war, won't it?

[SingMariahSing]

I would give up my house for a voice like Lea's.

[ProudFilipinoMan]

Racist lyrics. This poor Filipina with a great voice sold out her soul for fortune and fame not caring about the effect of the lyrics and the play Miss Saigon. The play that perpetuates American and French imperalism, that protrays all Asian men as evil, and all Asian girls (including Lea Salonga's character) as prostitutes with illegitimate children. When will Filipinos get over their awe with superstars and have a social conscience? Save the Asian girl? Look at Mi Lai Massacre in google.

@skewzme1 that is not david foster, that is david caddick, musical supervisor of ms saigon

[alex10276]

I strongly agree. She has the best voice ever. Got goosebumps just listening to her. More power to you, lea!
