It's so cute to see a young man discover a living legend :-) You must watch Les Miserables (the musical play - not the movie) 10th Anniversary and 25th Anniversary concerts - available on youtube or dvd. This should also open you up to the entire broadway musical genre where you will be exposed to vocal talents unparalleled in the pop world - both male and female. This particular musical art requires perfect diction and projection, let alone acting, dancing, and singing prowess. There are way too many broadway legends to even mention here... but I am excited for you to begin this journey. Lea Salonga is a broadway legend in addition to a Disney legend as she is the only one to have been the voice of TWO Disney princesses, which many have already stated in the comments.

[@cyprianuslilikk.p.7937]

Haha the best comment. I'm totally agree with you. Welcome to the musical world young man:-)

Lea is the only person I can think of who won a Tony, Olivier, Critics Circle, Drama Desk, and Theater World Award in a single season. She is indeed a legend.

She's that singer who you don't have to look up the lyrics for..... very clear voice and pronunciation

[@neilsonelesis7160]

Lea Salonga is a class of her own. Her achievements is beyond compared than the other popular singers here in my country. She won Best Actress in Tony's in US, Olivier Awards in UK and numerous accolades.

[@glennpauldelatorre8924]

SHE'S BEST ACTRESS IN WEST END (London) & BROADWAY (New York) IN THE MUSICAL "MISS SAIGON"! SHE'S A DISNEY PRINCESS TOO! She's the singing voice of princess jasmine in the original Alladin & also in Mulan.

[@karenmuyco618]

i don't know why but it satisfies me watching reacts for Lea's performances. im kind of feeling so proud and when other people who watched her make them want more of her performances like i do! she's sooooo amazing. a perfect example for everyone who wants to achieve a clear perfect pitch voice and super great theater acting of all time! such a wonderful gift from God! ❤😍😍😍😍

[@robertobutz993]

Lea Salonga is a Broadway Royalty and Philippines national treasure. Les Miserables is one of the longest running musical on Broadway and West End history. She played both Eponine and Fantine in Les Miserables in New York production. She played the lead role of Kim in the original production of Miss Saigon in West End in London and won The Sir Olivier award for Best Actress in a musical. A year later, the producer brought the musical to New York and she again recreated the same role with much criticism because she is not a member of American Actors Equity as well as unknown being an Asian. But then she again won the Tony’s as Best Actress in a musical and the rest is history. You will need years to read and go through her achievements and accolades 😄

[@kkotbee4060]

She sang Disney's A Whole New World and Reflections from Mulan.

[@linzigrogan6844]

Lea Salonga is the the worlds no1 musical theatre artist,the queen of broadway & the west end. She was the original miss saigon when only 18yrs.she is also the voice of many disney princesses(songs not txt) she is also the female voice in aladdin's a whole new world. She is probably the most famous singer in the philippines and is like the queen as she was the 1st person to leave the philippines & have great success all over the world so she has been the one to open the door for other filipino's. She is so so famous in the entertainment industry. I really love her voice,its amazing, but 4 weeks ago I saw her perform live for the 1st time,I was in shock. Her voice was so powerful & when she added vibrato I could feel my body shaking with the resonance. The only thing I could liken it to is if u've ever been to a really big gig, like U2 for instance & stood too close to the speakers,u can feel the music pounding through your body,my heart felt it was gonna burst out of my chest. If you ever have the chance you must see her live.she sings other genres,not just songs from musicals. She is a real pro,makes so hyang,morisette,katrina & regine look like they've only just started

[@linzigrogan6844]

@UCs-58STRfHneh0ytaUtzlSA sorry,didn't mean to sound degrading,far from it. I love all the singers I mentioned and so hyang is my favourite vocalist in the world. I probably tried to explain what meant incorrectly,I didn't mean to. I was just trying to emphasise just what a true professional she is,not that the others are not,but she is a little older,she started young & just has so many more years experience behind her & I think this shows,particularly in live performances. Hope this explains a little better the point I was trying to make,albeit badly. I would never speak badly of singers that I dont really like(musically,not personally) nevermind try & degrade singers that I love

[@gustavooliveira4694]

I have to disagree. SoHyang is an amazing Legend and Vocalist.

[@NelsonV.Constantino-wk4wp]

She’s a renowned Tony award winning actress, in case you don’t know.

[@ladyaugust1148]

Thank you for reacting to this. Ms. Lea Salonga is the "Voice" that set the bar for Philippine female singers who want to break the international fold. Her voice is crystal clea. She is the voice of Mulan and Jasmine, as well as the original lead of Miss Saigon.

She is also a tony Award winner! She started singing at a very young age... you might want to watch her miss saigon audition... she has gone a long way from her Annie days performance in the Philippines! Had the great pleasure in watching her multiple times in Broadway, as expected she never disappointed me and she surely represented the Philippines with pride!

She represent the Philippines with class internationally. There's a lot of people who can sing even belt but do you understand what they're talking about? She's known with a crystal clear perfect pitch voice. She knows how to enunciate words not just to scream that's why from so many Filipinos she's one of the few that's recognize internationally.

I have always loved the way theatre performers act oblivious to the applause after a number and just stay in character. This concert was full of top notch talent. Philip Quast will give you goosebumps performing Stars in this show. It had a few originals from the London cast. I believe Philip Quast was the second Javert behind Roger Allam.
