    It was so brave and confident of Lea to have chosen Eponine’s song. She would definitely get the job with that song.

      @@lachlangmbh8947 fool.why would u oppose to his opinion when evryone is entitled to his/her own opinion? Idiot.. I may as well say that indeed, Lea, is incomparale.. And that is my preference.. So do you think you have the right to question our own opinion?.. You are just jealous if i may know..

    I heard Lea sing as Eponine in 1987 at the auditorium theatre Chicago, and it changed my life. It began a life of love for the theatre and now my daughter has played a part in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor at the paramount theatre. Thank you Lea for taking my path to this direction.

      1987 is the wrong date. First she was only 15 that year. Second her first casting was Miss Saigon 1989. She was hired for Les Miz until the 90s

    • @athenstar10
      @athenstar10 Před 6 lety +13

      Squiggle1212 IT'S TRUE. It's not about the high notes nor the fame but the musicality and STRENGTH of the voice. Musicality means, if you're on key everytime while expressing the emotions of the song. Emotions, yes, most Filipino singers have that but some are not consistent with their intonation. And Strength my dear is something that I don't think most singers have even in the Philippines. Let those proclaimed divas perform 8 emotional songs on stage for about 7-14 times a week in atleast 2 consiecutive months with the lyrics being switched everyday and tell me who can do it without retakes? Lea can, she's still doing it. She almost lost her voice but was able manage it eventually.

    This story of Ms Saigon actually happened also in real life of a Filipina,, and i know Ms Leah gave her best since she is familiar with this kind of story.
    Her IQ is beyond compare. You cannot be singing a song in a play without understanding emotion and delivery. English proficiency and familiarity helps her and her talent completed the whole package. SHE IS LEAH SALONGA, no one can be like her. I am thankful for carrying the whole country and not just the flag.
