Glad you reacted to this performance - this is over 20 years later than the LES MISERABLES 10th Anniversary Concert! Not only is Lea still in beautiful voice, but the way she acts every song is simply stunning. I hope you'll check out more of Lea's performances. P.S. Her name is pronounced LAY-ah, not LEE-ah.
Thanks for featuring Ms Lea Salonga, the Disney legend and the pride and treasure of the Philippines. She has yet plenty of performances to react to especially a series of concert with the IL Divo throughout Europe and the USA. Thanks and more power!!❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Your first reaction to Lea was from the LES MISERABLES 10th anniversary concert in 1995, so this concert is over 20 years later! She looks and sounds amazing!!! There are SO many amazing Lea Salonga performances - I really hope you'll react to more of them! I actually love a lot of Lea's duets: --Lea and Brad Kane original recording of "A Whole New World" (1992) --Lea and Brad Kane reuniting 23 years later to sing "A Whole New World" (2015) --Lea and Rachelle Ann Go sing "Movie in My Mind" at MISS SAIGON 25th Anniversary Concert (2014) --Lea and Josh Groban sing "The Prayer" at Josh's concert in Manila (2019) --Lea and Josh Groban sing "All I Ask of You" at Josh's concert in Manila (2019) --Lea and Regine Velasquez sing a musical medley - from Regine's online birthday concert (2020) There are many more great ones, but those are the first ones that come to mind. In case you don't know who Rachelle Ann Go or Regine Velasquez are, Rachelle (pronounced just like Rachel) Ann Go is a singer/actress from the Philippines - about 15 years younger than Lea. Rachelle played Gigi in the West End and Broadway revivals of MISS SAIGON. (She also went into LES MIZ and HAMILTON in the West End.) Regine Velasquez is also a singer/actress from the Philippines and is known as Asia's songbird (also Queen Regine) because of her beautiful and powerful voice. Pretty much all contemporary Filipino singers over the last 30 years have been influenced by Regine's sound - the way everyone wanted to copy Whitney, Mariah and Celine. Regine is a contemporary of Lea's - less than a year older. Regine was born April 1970 and Lea was born February 1971. You mention that you would put a link to the older video you reacted to in the description, but I don't see it. I have seen that other reaction, but just in case others want to see it - you should link!
I think I’ve only seen one person react to Lea highlights from Miss Saigon. I think it’s about 13 minutes and it’s various clips of Lea and Will Chase in the 2000 Manila production of Miss Saigon. It’s fantastic.
Lea Salonga is just the Eponine as she is Kim, Jazmin, Mulan and so many other characters. Nobody compares to the queen of Broadway. I love her so much! And even after listening to "On my own" countless times she still manages to make me tear up.
Thanks for the reaction! Btw did you record the one for Lea and Pentatonix singing "Christmas In Our Hearts"? I remember you mentioned you were watching out for their video of the song. I know, it's past the holidays, but it would be cool to see your reaction. Thanks again! 😊
Hope you could also react to Lea's I'd give my life for you from her Sydney Townhall, Burn from London Palladium, Higher from her musical Allegiance and her recent where she surprise a bride and sings at her wedding both A whole new world and Reflection. She truly is a queen.
