Every singer always tries to copy the opera version... lea done it her broadway version. She was taught and trained not to just sing but to express the song the way it was supposed to be. It is also the reason why she is an awarded actress in the Philippine movies.
wow she just sung it with so much feeling and emotions, great singer! some singer will not think of the occasion but wud rather belt the song for herself to shine, but not for lea she always prioritize to convey the message that makes people relate.
LEA SALONGA'S RENDITION OF THIS IMMORTAL SONG IS A GIFT FROM GOD ALMIGHTY. BRINGING LOVE, PEACE AND JOY TO THOSE DEPARTED LOVE ONES AND MILLIONS OF OUR HEROES. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🙏🙏🙏💞💞💞
I feel like the audience doesn't know how to react because she sings so beautifully at the same it conveys sadness. Leah can deliver emotions thru music...just look their faces. Leah is a one of kind singer
The song was being performed at a Memorial Day service broadcasted on PBS to honor the memories of those who gave their lives fighting for the USA, along with honoring the veterans who served and continue to serve.
EVERY Filippino I have met describes Mrs. Salonga as the pride of their country and listening to her it is obviously truthful. She is also such a great representative on the Voices of the Kids. I also had a Martial Arts instructor who stated in the 2nd world war the Fillipino were allies that NEVER disappointed. While I could never get the instructor to talk much he went on for a full hour praising these great people. Such talent. Watch Voices of the kids with her, it is so worth seeing her and the other talented children she judges. AWESOME!!
For this particular occasion, this song being sung by ONE person was more appropriate. It sounded like a hymn normally sung in church. Had it been sung by a duet, there could have been some distraction because of 2 voices sounding like MORE of a PERFORMANCE to get applause than a REAL PRAYER SET TO MUSIC. Very emotional delivery.
The Legendary Broadway Diva Ms. Leah Salonga that when she sings crystal clear and a real story teller no run a rounds pure singing coming from the heart.. not irritating in the ears.. indeed she is one of a kind plus she is very humble this woman deserve the International Mainstream Exposure... ❤️
Seeing the clips of the families missing their loved ones, seeing the sacrifice the soldiers made gave me a renewed appreciation for what they've given us.
Her appearance here, her Via Dolorosa performance with the military choir and just recently with the Tabernacle Choir, will give organizers of future memorable events to enlist Lea's talent for her to appear in their special events.
Aloha Lea! 🌴Most beautiful and best solo🎤 rendition I've ever seen or heard; you're a class act. I've loved 💞you since seeing you perform in Miss Saigon on stage.🎭 Like fine wine 🍷you seem to get better w/age. Mahalo for the upload!🙋♀
