Lea played Kim and I don't know who played Gigi but she looks Filipina and she was also good. Look up Miss Saigon, final performance on Broadway.

I beg to differ. I grew up in the Original London Cast. Isay Alvarez as Gigi just sounds perfect for the character. Rachele Ann Go is also talented, don't get me wrong. But she is mostly appealing to the new generation of audience. I kind of hear her rendition as more of commercialized. Isay's rendition is pure character of Gigi.

Rachelle's rendition is different. her portrayal add an anger to the character by belting the song and heavy drop. izay's version is raw and pitiful than rachelle's. they both did a good job for this small role character.

Ako Ako Well, you're right Rachelle is more powerful, but that doesn't mean she's better. In this case, it's really a matter of taste because they have very differnt voices and interpretations of the character. Rachelle is angry and upset, Isay seems more longing and hopeful.

To me, it's still the best version of this song. FTR, I think Isay was the best Gigi. Peace...
