    I'm an American who moved to the Philippines and they LOVE singing here. It is one of their favorite past times. The first time I ever heard of Karaoke was on one of my earlier visits here before I moved here. In America we have a very strong critical attitude that means you must sing well or it is disaster. The attitude in the Philippines is "go ahead and try". And they have so many really great singers as a result of their openness to getting up and just giving it your best shot. In addition the girls here also soooooo cute! If Miss Universe Contest REALLY knew beauty the Philippine would win EVERY year! Lea has been around for some time now and still looks fantastic. They recently discovered another amazing singer here, Morrissette Amon (her dad was a big fan of Alanis Morrissette and so named his little girl after his favorite singer). If you want to be totally blown away by a song try the "Wish Bus" performance of Mori singing Akin Ka Na Lang (click on the captions cc button the lyrics are touching). listening to Filipinas like Lea and Mori sing is heavenly, and I'm sure that Filipinos who read this could add many more to the list of fantastic singers here.

    I was in high school in the 80's and auditioned for Charity in Barnum. My drama teacher at the time set me aside and told me he would like to give me the part, but it was meant to be played for a caucasian woman. I told him I understood and was disappointed. Years later in college in the late 80's my dance professor in college asked me why I was not in a dance that he thought was right for me. I brushed it off and just told him I don't know. I did know and made no big deal about it. The dance was set in a medieval period. I didn't know about the race issues back then. Seeing Lea Salonga break the asian taboo in musicals made me proud of her and our nationality. Love Lea!

    To those of you commenting about her perfect American accent, in case you didn't know, Lea's first language IS English. She may have been born in the Philippines but her language has always been English. As a matter of fact, her Tagalog was almost non-existent when she was a young child. Even today, if she speaks Tagalog you will clearly see that she is not very comfortable with the language. If you ever see an episode of The Voice Philippines where she was a judge, you can clearly see her struggle with speaking Tagalog, especially if she had to say a lengthy dialogue. So yes, while you guys were correct that she is well-educated (valedictorian in HS and a premed student in college), she didn't learn English in school. English is, always has been, her home language.
