Lea Salonga is one of the few people in the world who is considered Pitch Perfect, the only singer who got to be the singing voice of 2 Disney princesses and the first Asian to win the Tony award best actress in a musical so, comparing her to other singers like Regine or Mori is an insult. They didnt even come close to Lea...she is the best and she was never off-key or had a bad performance..

Why would comparing Lea to Morissette and Regine be an insult? Your comment is an insult to them. Just because Lea won prestigious international awards does not mean Regine and Morissette aren't equally good. Even Lea once remarked that she never heard of anyone who can hit an F-sharp but when Sarah Geronimo said, "Ms Reg? (implying What about Regine Velasquez)" and she said, "Well Regine is a freak of nature" In another interview, she even said Regine is phenomenal. Lea was lucky to have been given the opportunity to shine internationally. If a US-based label gave either Regine or Morissette (or any other Filipino singer/act for that matter) a similar opportunity, I'm certain they would also make a name for themselves. Heck, maybe even win a Grammy or two. It's not unimaginable that a full-blooded Filipino can shine in the US recording industry. We already have some part-Filipinos enjoying success there ... Bruno Mars, H.E.R., Hailee Steinfeld, Nicole Scherzinger, Olivia Rodrigo to name a few. You're also sort of implying that Regine and Morissette were off key and had a bad performance before. You're also implying you have seen every single performance of Lea such that you could say she was never off key or never had a bad performance. The only person who could say whether or not Lea was off key or had a bad performance is Lea! In all the performances of Regine and Morisette that I've seen, they were never off key or had a bad performance. Would I be right in saying they never had such? You can extol Lea all you want. You have every right to do so and Lea deserves such accolades since she is exemplary in her craft. But it shouldn't be at the expense of others who also deserve recognition!

I took my 7-year-old daughter to live theatre at the Cultural Center of the Philippines to watch "Annie" the musicale, featuring Lea Salonga. After the show, unbeknownst to my companions and me, my daughter already made it to the baclstage to ask for Lea's autograph. I ran to catch up with my daughter. What I saw was 9-year-old Lea at the end of her prayer, kissed the crucifix of her rosary while uttering her gratitude to God. She then quickly took my daughter's CD and signed it to my daughter's delight. We thanked her and she thanked us for watching the show! A sweet, sprightly soul.

I first saw Lea at the Meralco Theatre during my first of three foreign service assignments to Manila between 1983 and 1987 when she was the lead in Annie and I was certain that with a few good breaks she would become a super star she was that good. I was there on my second assignment from 1990 - 95 when I had an brief e-mail exchange with her helping to get her Mac connected to the Internet. Then in the late 90s I was able to see her perform in Miss Saigon in New York. Quite an amazing career.

Who would not admire Lea Salonga? Great singers emerge but who does her breathing techniques? She's just unmatched (in the Philippines, of course), at least as of this comment. Thank you, Sirs, for devoting a part of an episode for our nation's Lea Salonga. Her enunciation is another thing. "On My Own," from Act 2 of Les Miserables, is one of my favorites among her broadway song renditions. I could literally jot down the lyrics while listening to it. Check that out, too, if you have the time, Sirs. Notice the emotional integrity; awesome!

Lea's English accent is the common accent for those people in the Philippines who came from a well-educated and upper class family. Lea is different from the common celebrities in the country because she started from theater and she was studying medicine before she decided to pursue her Broadway career.She's very smart in both arts and academics. What's more amazing is that she's got great personality and great sense of humor too. ...and she's a good dancer too!

No. We don't speak like this, until like Lea who spent a year or so abroad -- note that Monique Wilson and most if not all of the other Filipino cast who performed in Miss Saigon everywhere on the planet never spoke like this or blatantly adopted the native accent of the host country. Lea spoke like an American after a year in Broadway. This isn't a dig against her, just clearing up a misconception about Filipinos.

Lea did an online concert as a fundraiser for Bayanihan Musikahan early on during the pandemic (4/2/20). She sings the first musical phrase of “Human Heart” a cappella (same way she did on Broadway) and says, “God, I hope I’m in the right key.” (Pause) “And if I’m not, that’s okay, too.” She sings the rest of the intro a cappella and then hits play on her background track. Of course she was perfectly on pitch.

I've lost track of how many times I've watched this video. I so appreciate how much you appreciate Lea's talent. I have nothing against other singers that hit crazy high notes and/or do riffs and runs. Those can be very exciting and beautiful, too. But I don't think I could listen to that non-stop. I can listen to Lea non-stop. I may have noted this before, but Lea is the only person that was part of the LES MIZ 10th anniversary and 25th anniversary concerts in different roles (Eponine and Fantine). That's pretty impressive! Most people feel her "On My Own" is the gold standard. And Lea and Michael Ball singing "A Little Fall of Rain" always moves me.

Rewatching this video AGAIN. Another thing I always note: plenty of non-musicians love Lea. It isn't possible to not be moved her striking performances - especially of musical theater songs. And just about everyone clocks Lea as having a perfect Disney voice - even if they don't realize she is already a Disney princess twice over. But I especially love when musicians appreciate Lea's talent. She doesn't do vocal acrobatics, so some people may not find her vocals very impressive - but they really are. The average singer/person can't do what Mariah Carey does, but they also can't do what Lea does either!

I was obsessed with this musical and I listened to this soundtrack so much that 34 years later, as I sat here watching this, I was able to sing along with Lea and didn’t forget a single word of that song.

That second video was a scene in Miss Saigon on its original run in Druly Lane. So she was still 18 here. She was singing this for her little son who she decided to give away so he'll be safer, knowing that Vietnamese soldiers will take him away . The son's father is an American soldier that's why the Viets are targetting her & the child since the Vietnamese hated America/ Americans. Lea won the Sir Laurence Olivier Award as Best Actress in the musical in this original run or i meant, the first run of Miss Saigon.

I'm an uber fan of Lea's. Some random info: --Lea was in the premiere production of ANNIE in the Philippines (1980) when she was 9. ANNIE opened on Broadway in 1977 and the film came out in 1982. This was her 2nd theatrical job, and her 1st lead. --If you want to see more of young Lea - she was the guest of Kuh Ledesma (another Filipina singer - I think about 16 years older than Lea) and I think it was Kuh's first major concert - also 1980. There are various clips from Lea's sections where she sings and also has stage banter with Kuh. --The Human Heart rehearsal - Lea isn't even mic'ed! --I love that you wanted to watch Lea's videos in chronological order! I made a list of all the Lea reactions you've done (here and past Filipino Fridays). In future comments I will try to suggest other vids that fill in years you haven't seen yet. Also, I love that you're willing to watch some rarer videos and interviews!

I REALLY encourage you to watch Lea in OLD FRIENDS. It’s going to be in Broadway in January 2025 for a limited time. I promise you, you’ll see her in a different light singing Sondheim songs. Have you reviewed Nicole Scherzinger (who is half Filipino) she has great vocals as well. I believe she will be in Broadway too for Sunset Boulevard. If you get the chance, do a reaction vid on her singing Memory she played Grizabella in the West End and her singing Phantom of the Opera. She is amazing versatile singer.

Only partway through this video but I have to say - I’m loving it!!! There are so many more Lea videos that I hope you’ll watch! I also wanted to add some comments: -“A Little Fall of Rain” was from the 10th anniversary LES MIZ concert in 1995. Not sure why you saw it as 2010 except that might be when it the video was uploaded. -Lea and her brother hosted a TV show called “Love, Lea” when she was 12-14. Gerard is 2.5 years younger than Lea. -Lea will often mimic accents of people around her. You can see it in various interviews she has done over the years. When speaking with American reporters/hosts, she sounds American. Here she sounds British (but she had also been living and working in London doing the musical). In the Philippines, she mostly speaks English in her interviews but her Filipino accent is sometimes stronger than other times. I think it is usually goes with whether the person interviewing her has a strong accent or is speaking in Tagalog (Filipino).

Lea Salonga is one of the few peoplenin the world whonis considered as Pitch Perfect, the only singer who got to be the singing voice of 2 Disney princesses and the first Asian to win the Tony award best actress so comparing her to other singers like Regine or Mori is an insult. They didnt even come close to Lea

A morning with you two and chat people is always good but very special with Lea. Thank you. I have recently been down the rabbit hole with Jacob Collier. He has a brilliant and in many ways unusual musical mind. He's won 5 Grammys of 7 nominations. If you are interested in an inteoduction video you could try Jacob at MIT. I'm not sure he will ever get a day on Throga but I think he may interest both of you. A suggestion only!

(There were difficulties around getting them both.) They both won the Olivier and Tony Awards. But Hinton Battle (the original John on Broadway) also won a Tony Award, may he rest in peace.
