Lea Salonga Highlights in Miss Saigon 

I think the main reason why Lea stands out to the rest of the Kim is her ability to deliver the song with all its emotions without compromising the technical vocal requirements needed. Her ability to deliver a soft and powerful runs when it’s needed it’s just phenomenal.

I was born too late to have witnessed Lea Salonga live... But I guess born just in time for RU-vid...

To have seen her in person playing this role is a cherished memory

The sun and moon represents Kim and Chris. Just like a tangent line. They will both cross each other but the cannot be together. As the sun fades, the moon shines. They only met before dawn and separate again. 😭😭😭 Just like Lea and Chris.

Anyone here still watching this MAY 2019?

no one will beat lea salongas standard

One of the most demanding roles ever! Not only is it amazing how she's perfection in her portrayal of the character her, she's able to act years "younger" and she transitions to all those low and high notes incredibly smoothly!

During her audition, I saw her a very young, youthful and innocent girl, yet the transition of her look during the play was so beyond my expectation. She is damn so into that “character”. Now, what made my in tears in that on how emotionally she brought that on stage while singing with clear and clean angelic voice and a lot more during the transitions of her voices on diffrent scenes. I love it. I wish I were part of that Gold time to witness the play.

“You will not touch him” whole scene from the argument till Kim is screaming in sadness, is one of the best! 💙

i should be studying but im crying over this instead

Lea truly earned her Tony in this role.

Its 2020 of march! Lea Salonga's acting and singing prowess is a statement of an artist world class! Proud to be a Filipino!

Lea Salonga set the extremely high standard every Kim in a Miss Saigon performance should reach.

The Queen of Broadway Musicals... Extremely talented iconic lady.

I have actually watched Ms. Leah Salonga perform Les Miserables over 22 yrs ago in Edinburgh, Scotland. We had dinner after the show and I was very quiet all through dinner. I was in awe . . . It’s like a new world has opened up before me. My heart was overflowing my brain was in shock, but I couldn’t feel my body . . . It was the most magical and wonderful experience to this date and I am almost 65 yrs of age. I adore Ms. Leah Salonga as an artist. She makes me very emotional every time I watch her. She is the total package. Bravo Ms. Leah ! ! !

One of the clearest voices every! Enunciation is perfect!

I watched the revival. And I must say, Lea is still the gold standard.

She's a legend for this role ! No one can beat her, that's why she earn Tony for this musical her voice and acting was perfect and incredible!

I saw this in London. Twenty years ago with Lea.

Oh my gosh, how I ended up here. I'm streaming youtube for 6 hrs. I just watched the new version of the "A Whole New World" and compared it to the original which is sung by Miss Lea ofcourse and Brad if am not mistaken. Then went to another version, a Philippine vers sung by Morissette Amon and Darren Espanto( it's a sample only because the official song or the Music Video will come out very soon for the sole purpose of the Live action Movie of Aladin). Then, I watched all stuffs about Miss Lea and I ended up here. She's trully a Broadway Diva/Queen.

MAGNIFICENT ACTRESS AND AN EXCELLENT SINGER. LEA SALONGA IS THE BEST KIM.

Note to self - don't watch this at school unless you want to cry in front of everyone

I'm a Filipina and it's not the first time that I heard Lea sing but this is the first time I've seen this and oh my God I was blown away. Her voice is gold! 💖

Lea Salonga as Kim was the best Miss Saigon ever. The Gold standard.

I'm not a theater kid But i discovered this on internet I cannot imagine that I would be so moved for these live Musicals Gosh I found a new Happiness

Kaya pala nanalo sa toni subrang galing,napakagaling ni lea salongga dito,isipin mo live di katulad pilikula mayron take,proud na proud ako bilang isang pilipino

She’s a BRILLIANT singer and actress, and so much more accomplished internationally than many performers combined!

Since the first time I saw Miss Saigon, I believed that Miss Saigon was written for Lea Salonga. She built up the character Kim and no one could ever surpass her amazing talent and portrayal of Miss Saigon. Most deserving of awards and accolades.

She was the original Kim and nobody can beat her emotional performances. I so adore her !

omg.. to think that these are just bits of the play in this video.. yet i am tears like i've watched the whole story/play.

No one can replace LEA..she's still the best.She's so beautiful inside and out.😘😘😘

Eva was amazing as Kim but no one beats Lea

Love how she say “TAM!” She’s so into the character 😊👏🏼

"How in one night did we come so far" so sweet yet very painful. Just because of that one night kim learn to hope and to believe to the impossible things. This musical is so so painful. It made me cry right now dang it!!!!

She's the original irreplaceable the one and only national treasure

The scene at 9:19 always gives me chills. I think it's not easy to portray so much emotion while trying to control her voice.

I just realized how great of an artist she is.

She must have armed with BIONIC LUNGS to sustain those long notes! Distinctive, Emotive, Provocative, Powerfull VOICE, a class of her own, LEA. Second to none.

Lea Salonga is the best out there! A history!

Im an Emo Guy, i just here to watch Pierce the veil, Alesana and other Screamo emo rock bands, but suddenly im here watching Lea Salonga. No regrets. Lea sings full of emotions than Emo Bands. 😂😊

Hello 2019, who's watching?

The queen of 🎭 broadway!!only lea salongga

How in one night have we come so far? The saddest line ever! The context, the realness, the emotion and the dawning of one's life. The fucking best.

Is it just me who was amazed by Lea for just singing all along the play? Perhaps many singer can sing amazingly but Lea is just...Wow..just Wow..

To all of us Lea Salonga fans, let not forget the fact that she was only at the tender age of 17, when she got picked to perform these difficult songs. Along w/ the acting and dancing. She's truly a gifted prodigy.

This is how women were treated during war

The musical made for Ms Lea Salonga...

Still watching... 2021 anyone?! waaaahhhh! im crying!

I am drained just watching this. All the emotions. Wow! You gotta have very good endurance and powerful stamina to withstand this type of high standard performance.

this is so beautiful...undying talented iconic,broadway legend, one and only Lea Salonga!! i love you so much idol!

I was new in NYC and preparing for my NCLEX exam I told myself that I’ll see her when I pass the exam,when I pass the exam,10 newly minted nurses who happens to be Filipinos when to see on a Wednesday night we were so excited to See Miss Saigon that was 25 years ago,and saw it five more times,Lea Salonga the one and only.

I was just watching the new version of A Whole ne world awhile ago. Now I’m watching every Miss Saigon vids

The legendary Lea Salonga.

Why did I cry??? Lea delivers Kim perfectly... No one can replace her as the original miss saigon

That boy is lucky to hear lea sing literally few inches apart

The discipline she received from her mom was perfect.

Crying... 😭😭😭 Why do most beautiful love stories have to have sad endings????? 😭😭😭

When you can't stop crying 😭😭😭she's so amazing.. I can't express how good she is..

She was already 29 in this production but she still looks like she's 18.

She’s an effing legend! Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Amazing performance. She's perfect for the Role she portrayed with such powerful emotion & her voice Never wavered. PERFECT!!!!

This 13 minute video really made me shed tears! Lea is great!

I have known this video for years... Today I watched it again... Every time I am so moved and I have tears in my eyes... This is just wonderful... Lea is perfection.

Brings back good memories. I was lucky to see the Manila production of Miss Saigon.

There will never be another performance that can surpass ms salonga’s portrayal of Kim. She literally made Kim in such a way that you can’t imagine anybody else doing it the same way. Phenomenal thespian like no other, not only can she sing great with clarity but she backs up that voice with incredible register of emotion. Long live the legend!!!

Oh my God im soooo late and cant believe Lea's acting & singing in live musical . This act is only for talented people .So amazing ...

What an amazing voice! I think she has the most amazing voice I've heard. Period, no one sings better than her, for me.

Best diction!

Anyone watching in November 2019?

the whole story in 13 minutes

She's too young but the depth of her understanding to the character is outstanding!

There is no doubt that MISS SAIGOn was the of all broadway´ show i ha saw between 75/94, and Lea Salonga iwas the best, she great.

This is one of the very powerful scenes in MS 4:27 - 7:14. I grew up listening to MS and had never seen the actual performance. Watching this now gave me a torrent of tears. It is still my dream to watch MS live. Thank you for posting this.

May 4 ,2019 .. 10:34 pm .. still watching this .. lea salonga the best

I cried at 0:57-1:34 as Kim was telling her story, so tragic. And that "how in one night have we come so far" in the end, it's so sad, my heart breaks 😭😭😭

I saw her in the West End in original production, original cast. Spectacular. Have seen Miss Saigon four times on stage. Original and 25 th anniversary production in London. Then on Broadway and at Kennedy Center. But the first time was still the best. It always makes me cry

The emotion while singing brought me to tears... silly me

Lea is the best miss Saigon! No one can replace her.

My goodness! Goosebumps all over.. i love Lea Salonga 😍😍😍😍

Hair-raising.. goosebumps.. unforgettable! In a word.. LEA! 👏

BRILLIANT! EPIC! Everytime I watch her I feel pride in my being a Filipino. Thank you Lea!

Mckintosh, Boublil and Schonberg found their Holy Grail in Lea Salonga when they discovered Kim in their Manila Miss Saigon audition (1988) thirty years ago. Lea Salonga will always be the original and best Kim ever.

Oh my, im crying. The story is so tragic and painful, i was carried away by Lea's acting.

Mesmerizing clear voice

9:19, my favorite scene..this absolutely gave me goosebumps
