YES. I can't finish someone else's version of this if it's not Lea Salonga. It's like oh, this ain't Lea Salonga and it doesn't come close so I better stop watching/listening to this. Hahahaha
Yes she's definitely the best, but all the other Eponines are very good as well and they all have something unique to bring to the character, but yes, she is astonishing
I swear, Miss Lea is more respected and valued in other countries than in her own. She deserves more my fellow countrymen! She did not just give honor to the nation, she put it on the map!
World class filipina po na part ng advertisement ng cream silk. Sila po kase endorsers kaya sila nanjan. . Saka iba iba pong field nmn sila. Wla nmn po comparison dto.
DawnLoverGlaiza Gagui I think World Class Filipina is wrong, it compares her to just the Filipina, Lea is just World Class no matter how you define her
I said Filipina because the show happened in the Philippines and Lea is a Filipina, no doubt about it. But it is also my pleasure to hear from you that Lea is a World Class talent and person regardless of her race :)
Para ho ito sa creamsilk. Since sila naman ang mga modelo, bat pa sila maghahanap ng iba. This is just a marketing strategy, nagkataon lang na sa lahat sa kanila, si Ms. Leah lang talaga ang legit. No need to be hostile to the others.
Oh, I've got three things to say: 1. Lea is absolutely wonderful! She's a guru, a legend, and icon, a master, whatever. She has sung this song in a greater heights. She still had a great emotion that makes everyone emotionally free. Oh well, this is non-negotiable. 2. Wait, world-class? It's only Ms. Lea who is world-class here. None of those three made an appearance to the world stage (I suppose). A Tony, Olivier, and all other prestigious awards are given to Ms. Lea and I think, just her name "Lea Salonga" is enough for people to believe that she's a world-class actress! Why place those three beside her? 3. Oh, there's more! There are a lot of Pinay superstars who gave honor to the country. Why was that they weren't there? Goodness. Justice please.
Whether you like it or not, Lea set a very high standard for playing Eponine 💪🏼🔥 I've watched a lot of performances from the newer Eponines but hers is still the best for me ❤️❤️😭
Uhmmm? Excuse me? I know that I am nobody important but I want to voice out my opinion. People say that the other three are nothing compared to Ms. Lea. Can't you just praise Ms. Lea without shading the other three? They've got different routes from Ms. Lea. Anne is for comedy, Heart is for acting, Toni is for multimedia (she also takes the route of music), Ms. Lea is for musical theatre. Base on my observations, people in the comment section are comparing the three to Ms. Lea as if the other three takes the same route as Ms. Lea. Anne's singing is for comical purposes, Heart; well, I've never heard her sing. Toni has a different genre from Ms. Lea. About Toni's music route. She's got a darker tone (which is actually considered by many-music critics or commoneers alike-as well as I to be an ideal vocal tone) without even needing to lower her larynx and maintains it at a neutral position (which helps her to maintain her tone without cracking or straining), her dark tone is natural to her (because she's an alto) while Ms. Lea has a light (mezzo?) soprano voice that is round suitable for her route (theatre). Saying that the other three is nothing compared to Ms. Lea is like saying an apple, a banana and a pineapple are nothing compared to a mangosteen. EDIT: Actually, Heart is now taking an art route. I've heard she's a painter, tho. Never seen one of her works pero I'm intrigued. Parang gusto kong makita paintings n'ya.
Nobody Important, I think it's more the fact that by 'world class' it implies that they have had success all over the world, and that's only true for Ms. Salonga. Fame is difficult to quantify, but if you look simply at accolades-regardless of their field-Lea is the only one to have an award in the western hemisphere, much less one of the big four awards of the entertainment industry in America (EGOT). The rest seem to only have awards from the Philippines while Lea is the first woman in all of Asia to win a Tony. And even bearing in mind that some of the ladies' chosen fields don't have awards, Lea's the only one, I believe, who has performed in international events like the Les Mis anniversary concerts, or her touring with an Italian quartet, et cetera, and she was the first Filipino artist to sign with an international label on top of winning a Tony, Olivier, Theatre World Award- So I can see how people find comparing Lea Salonga to the rest is a bit insulting to her. It's not meant to be offensive to the others; it's just that Lea is a rare and extraordinary success story, and there's not many people who can be compared to her
Jeri Grant Like I said, CAN'T WE PRAISE MS. LEA WITHOUT SHADING THE OTHER THREE? What I am saying is although Ms. Lea deserves it all, the other three certainly doesn't deserve to be dissed. Not only do they say that the three is not world-class but also implies that they are almost useless. That's what I was talking about, stop the diss. Well, seems like people likes bringing down others, huh? Tell the haters on my behalf: "Have fun dissing, vtches."
Jeri Grant Also add to her credit - A Disney Legend award, having been the singing voice for not one, but TWO Disney female heroine. Yes, she is not at all comparable to anyone. She is one of a kind. A rare gem. A living legend and more. None other than Ms. Lea Salonga.
Nobody Important While I must applaud you for knowing the word 'diss,' perhaps you should look up 'offensive' as well. I specifically stated it was not meant to be offensive to the rest of them. A person does not need to bring others down in order to point out just how obviously higher one of them is compared to the rest. I apologize that you took offense, but ask that you consult a dictionary or its ilk before interpreting the words of others so strongly.
Other three's accolades are within Philippines only. While Lea's achievements are well-known worldwide. Nobody knows Heart, Tonh and Ann in US, Europe, Canada or Australia. If you say World Wide meaning the entire world. Proper accolades of the other three suppose to be NationWide.
Actually to say that she owns it and has mastered it is saying the same thing anyway. Your argument is redundant. My only complaint about the title is that she mastered it from the beginning.
Lea, you are so beautiful here! Her voice is magical and magnetic. She gets better and better with age in both her voice and beauty. I dream of one day being able to attend one your concerts live and meeting you.
THIS IS ALL WRONG. The video title suggests the wrong thing. And when has Anne Curtis, Toni Gonzaga and Heart Evangelista ever conquered the world stage? Lea Salonga is a legend. To place her beside those women who are supposedly "world class Filipinas" (a very weird, pretentious term) is insulting.
Congratulations, you win the title for most embarrassing youtube video title. You should _really_ look into who Lea Salonga is. Let us know when you figure it out...
Kinain na ng world class/classy terms ang mga avid fans kuno ni Lea, eh kayo kelan kaya magiging classy like her? Kudos still to Anne, Toni and Heart. You deserve your world class titles kasi IBA-IBA naman kayo ng field of expertise. 💕
My daughter is married to a Filipino, they live in San Francisco, all his family live in USA 🇺🇸, the Filipina’s are very classy, they speak perfect English, they dress finely, are well mannered. When they party , they start off very refined, however after a few glasses of Prosecco they let their hair down and start gabbering in Tagalog screaming, gossiping and generally go mad. 🇮🇪
there are only two women who deserves to be called world class filipinas and thats #1 Lea Salonga and #2 Pia Wurtzbach. the other girls are great just in our country but they NEVER conquered the world stage. Its a shame and an insult for Lea to be on the same stage as them. Shes Ms. Saigon for goodness sake! shes on Lei Mes , a Two-Time Disney Princess and the first ever asian to win a Tony Award. where is justice?? Pia may have conquered the universe but she still is not as successful as Lea but still worthy as her to be called world class.
grabe si Madame Lea Salonga never fade!! infernes naman sa mga palamuti sa stage (Anne Curtis, Toni Gonzaga at Heart Evangelista) wagi pangdecoration..
Oh well, but nonetheless Ms. Lea proved her worth. I thought kakanta din yung others with her, buti na lang hindi because it would really destroy the presentation. Bravo Lea, I've always been a fan. ❤
Anyone who is saying she sounds the same is discrediting her hard work, she was already so good but she still worked hard to improve herself. This version is so much more powerful. Her voice has become so powerful(as if her voice wasn't already good). Thank you Lea for working hard even though you're already so talented.
SHE IS REALLY DAMN GOOD. She as ALWAYS GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!!!!! You are so PERFECT!!!!!!!!!! You have a DAMN SWEET, GOOD but of course PERFECT! She is ONE OF A KIND! I'm a fan of hers. And also Rachel Ann Go, Whitney Houston. And difinitely a SWIFTIE!!!!!!!
It should just be a matter of time, and I hope not a long time, for her to be a National Artist for Music/Theater. Her nomination should be in the bag.
