    Lea Salonga is one of the wisest & most talented Filipina I’ve ever seen. She’s definitely a National Treasure.

    Damn Lea!! 40 years!!!!!! We love you and you make us proud!!!! You represent Filipinos very well- with CLASS, SOPHISTICATION DIGNITY, AND PRIDE. You have never embarrassed us... not once! That is why I LOVE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH.
    Filipinos- please learn from her. Whether you like it or not, as an individual, you represent your people and your country everywhere you go and when you meet people. So make sure that you behave with class, sophistication, dignity, and pride! Remember that your behavior as an individual affects all of us Filipinos.

    Is it just me when I see something on CZcams that is about lea I'll keep watching over and over again It started last week I found a vid of a vocal coach reacting to her on my own (didn't search it) I got addicted I watched it over and over and watch her interviews and even watched les mis and miss saigon. I mean she got better at singing she is my inspiration ❤️❤️❤️

    "there are so many talented people" -Lea. Thats right but for the 40 years of her career and in my 25 years, I have never heard a voice that could match Lea's. Philippines has so many talented singers but LEA is just so unique.

    At 40, wow I reckon Lea Salonga is a genius in our midst. Who else had put in much discipline and committed to almost a lifelong excellence starting at a tender age of 7, the voice is a God given talent and everything else that went along with it, the wit, the smarts, the sparkly and engaging personality, but she really made sure to put in the work and focus, and displayed no complacency or entitlement at all like other superstars. A really inspiring character!

    I agree that Lea Salonga is truly a one-of-a-kind singer here in the Philippines. The reason why I think so is that she sings with clarity and care for her voice, she is not a "birit queen" but rather a storyteller that gives justice to the meaning of the song. Lea Salonga is truly a wonderful person, inside and out.

  • @adrianacedillo4948

    Aside from her singing I always love watching her interviews! I find it entertaining and informative, i was just like mesmerized by her everytime she talk and sing, of course. I can't wait to see her sold-out 40th Anniversary concert! I know it's going to be amazing show with full of entertainment and wonderful music!

    I remember being so young and wishing I had the money to watch miss saigon.. that was year 2000. Anyway 2 decades later I finally got to watch leah salonga when she played Mrs. Lovett last year in the play sweeney todd. I have watched broadway plays in Dubai like Annie and I can definitely say Leah Salonga despite her age is just so wonderful and amazing! She is indeed a very talented artist and her experience in broadway really shines. I am glad I could finally watch her live.. hopefully I can watch one of her shows again after this pandemic.
    Although I still regret not getting to watch her play in Miss Saigon live.
