Nov 9, 2013 - Lea Salonga's first visit to Marie's Crisis piano bar. Darren Criss accompanies her on the piano, with the crowd singing along to A Whole New World.
Because she still exactly sounds like princess Jasmine. She's preserved that voice, and there's nothing better than to hear it from the original. Even Brad Kane (who is the singing voice of Aladdin) has showed maturity in his voice due to aging, but Lea is still THAT princess in the magic carpet ride. Timeless.
My goodness! I would have felt so flattered when literally EVERYONE in the building chimed in at "don't you dare close your eyes". kekekekeke she's so incredible!
I want Lea to play the role of a really strict, by-the-book music teacher /choir director of a rival school or she could be hired to work with Mr. Schuester. And they clash and all that but it should all end well hehe
The thing that makes me really happy about this is that he's not potting everything into and trying to show off. He knows when his singing should be serious and when it should be half hearted and jokey.
Kudos to the Darren for the excellent piano playing and for leading Aladdin. Kudos to the crowd for knowing when the Queen needs to be heard. And kudos to Lea for granting us these gems over the years! ❤
This makes me soooooo happy for soooo many reasons... 1- Lea Salonga is a LEGEND. 2- Lea is from The Philippines, and Darren’s mom as well. 3- EVERYBODY at the bar knew the lyrics... People in their 30’s, and they know the lyrics to one of the best Disney’s song. It just makes me happy! So much love!
So sad Filipino doesn't know how talented and awesome Lea Salonga is, especially children these days. If I would be a contestant in the Voice Philippines I would definitely chose her as my coach.
I think some kids were being wise by not choosing Lea's team knowing that she had the most talented singers on her team. They'd have a higher chance of staying if they're on the other teams. But if one's purpose is to learn more, then Lea would be the best choice. I don't mean to offend the other coaches.
I think another reason also is they choose other coaches esp. Sarah G because of the much larger fandom that Sarah has.. more fans may result to more votes.. just my opinion.. :)
Well people are so picky nowadays .... Rather than judging in talent they based it through attitude and talent ... Lets be honest lea has attitude of being a brat and that kind of put people interest to her .. Compare to others thhat is pleasant and got talent.. People choose what they want, people make there own choice .. I know its bad to judge but hey .. You cAnt stop them .. Cos thats what they want ..
There won't be a contest anymore if everyone chose Lea. Who would the other celebrities mentor. Besides Lea's specialty is show tunes, and there are other genres of song being sung by contestant that the other celebrities can mentor, like Bamboo.
I love how they all stopped singing when Lea sang. Haha... Lea does it so effortlessly when she sings. Even in a noisy bar she sounds absolutely perfect!
Awwww!! 😭😭 I love this!! This feeling of community! It's like someone sprinkled pixie dust, cotton candy, clouds, and etc in this bar and made this magic possible huhu I can legit FEEL everyone being enamoured with Ms. Lea!!
Everytime im in disneyland this song keeps on playing on every corner and it makes me so emotional for some reason. Its just beautiful. Im just so.proud that a pinay sang this incredible and historical disney song.
No auto tune, no fancy special effects, no microphone. Just PURE and RAW talent. No words to describe! From the land of the GREAT SINGER PHILIPPINES. 🇵🇭👍
The girl left holding the bar at the end has no clue what to do. You can see her internal freak out because she wants to fangirl but also wants to act cool. I feel her struggle after that amazingness.
This is literally like that scene in Tangled where Rapunzel sings with the thugs in the tavern and they let her sing her verses while they do the choruses.
Sssshhhhh, her highness is singing, you peasants! LoL! I would have been one of those hushing if I was there! This was fun! Such beautiful voice! Love Lea! Thanks for sharing!❤️
