    Oh wow her voice is so clear. Splendid! It's like Empire State of Mind Disney Princess version.

      oh my gosh, this comment absolutely made my day. ahahahahahaa

      Lance Halzen indeed! her singing voice sounds like a trademark Disney princess voice. And so every other song there is she just owns and gives that princess flavor. :)

      it does sound like that (Princess Jasmine) always be the sing on voice of Jasmine

      She is a double Disney Princess, after all 😊

  • @blessedtrinity9499

    she has mastered the art of showmanship. it's a delight to watch her put meaning to the lyrics of the song.

  • @devyl1516
    @devyl1516 Před 4 lety +51

    This is one of the things that make musical theater singers stand out. They pronounce the words very clearly so the audience can understand what they are saying or singing. Beautiful!

  • @tekkentekie
    @tekkentekie Před 7 lety +203

    The original singer, Alicia Keys is a good singer but Lea Salonga made it more jazzy and the song seems so clear and I appreciated the song even more. Hands down!

  • @benabella4583
    @benabella4583 Před 8 lety +395

    It's the Lea effect...every song that she sings just sounds better the original

    • @jemimacloma4587
      @jemimacloma4587 Před 8 lety +22

      true😂😂😂i thought i am the only one who is thinking like that😆😆😆

    • @mefi9788
      @mefi9788 Před 6 lety +12

      Ben Abella so true. I've always hated "Let it Go" but there's a video of her singing it if you look it up. And for the first time it was bearable.

    • @kene6616
      @kene6616 Před 6 lety +4

      I don't agree, i think it suited Alicia Keys voice better; Keys has a lower and deeper tone.

    • @abcdefghijklmnnvd2758
      @abcdefghijklmnnvd2758 Před 6 lety +11

      Ken E This one has a jazz vibe. Alicia Keys’ is r&b

    • @pete6942
      @pete6942 Před 6 lety +5

      Of course not! Lea is good but that wasn’t better than the original.

  • @lhenardgreen08

    but I think I just fell in love with Lea 🤣
    I even had an eargasm 😂

  • @John081590
    @John081590 Před 5 lety +55

    Seriously, whenever she sings, I kind of imagine subtitles running along the screen. She sings so clear, like a crystal bell!

    Lea's voice is so exceptional.. so clear, so crisp, so beautiful.

  • @Jchan700
    @Jchan700 Před 4 lety +44

    Fans please don't hate on me, but I used to think Lea couldn't belt and do pop/belty roles and songs. But these few days I've been proven sooooo wrong. She is so talented gosh.

    • @chanandlerbong8096
      @chanandlerbong8096 Před 3 lety +6

      She could but not really on par with the known belters. That's why she seeked her real strength in singing which is her crystal clear diction/pronounciation of words while maintaining the clarity and strength of her voice with theater being the right place for her. But she could belt though.

    • @jessjul8445

    I like this song but not so much until I've heard this. Her phrasing is exceptional. and the arrangement of the quartet is fabulous. enjoyed it so much..

    what i love about Lea is her version is very clear

  • @Rosannasfriend
    @Rosannasfriend Před 5 lety +10

    She wasn't afraid to let her voice come on a little strong on the belted notes. That's nice to see, cause she often goes into the softest mixed voice ever. Not that that's bad, but I like a little more strength in the voice from time to time.

  • @luzcostales1545

    She really puts her own emotional intrepretation into the song, and she does mean what she says, so we're all taken into it with her

  • @ramosity

    Her voice is as fine as a perfect summer day. Can't stop binge-watching her videos. ❤️

  • @ACanvasofLoveandLight
    @ACanvasofLoveandLight Před 5 lety +58

    Some can hit stratospheric notes but are these high notes beautiful enough to please one's ears, reach deep in one's heart or soul like Lea does everytime she sings?

    Ooh, New York
    Ooh, New York
    Grew up in a town
    That is famous as a place of movie scenes
    Noise is always loud
    There are sirens all around
    And the streets are mean
    If I could make it here
    I could make it anywhere
    That's what they say
    Seeing my face in lights
    Or my name in marquees
    Found down on Broadway
    Even if it ain't all it seems
    I got a pocketful of dreams
    Baby, I'm from
    New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
    There's nothing you can't do
    Now you're in New York
    These streets will make you feel brand new
    The big lights will inspire you
    Hear it for New York, New York, New York
    On the avenue
    There ain't never a curfew
    Ladies work so hard
    Such a melting pot
    On the corner selling rock
    Preachers pray to God
    Hail a gypsy cab
    Takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
    Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger
    For more than from an empty fridge
    I'm going to make it by any means
    I got a pocketful of dreams
    Baby, I'm from
    New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
    There's nothing you can't do
    Now you're in New York
    These streets will make you feel brand new
    The big lights will inspire you
    Hear it for New York, New York, New York
    One hand in the air for the big city
    Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty
    No place in the world that could compare
    Put your lighters in the air
    Everybody say yeah, yeah
    In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
    There's nothing you can't do
    Now you're in New York
    These streets will make you feel brand new
    The big lights will inspire you
    Hear it for New York

    I just luv, love, labs this song.. Does not matter whether it's Alicia or Lea singing it. But I'm more hooked seeing/watching/hearing Ms./Mrs. Lea singing this song because I'll always like and singing along w/ this song eventhough I jumble/mix/missed parts of the song 😆😋😑👅🙆.. I'm in AWE watching her/u performed my all time and new fave such as Grenade, Hallelujah, The Climb, some of Lady Gaga's, Bisayan's, Sampaguitas? OPM (covers/revs?).. It's just so updated! Feels like I'm the only one outdated, hehehe! ; D 👯🙆🙈.. Lots of catching up to do. Where in the world was I?? 🙀😮😳😄😊☺️😛
