Memory by Lea Salonga

[@scottferris6309]

Somewhere in heaven, there must be an angel wondering, "Who stole my voice?".

I truly believe God gave Lea that gift......there is no stealing in Heaven.

[@ntjhnssntn95]

When Lea belts a high note, there's just this very amazing and natural vibrato that makes the song sound more and more extraordinary.

[@parakitos]

First of all, Lea has one of the most beautiful vocal tones a woman can ever wish for. Second, she's not straining. The power's from her diaphragm strength. If you look at her standing posture and the positioning of her jaw, everything was in the right places to deliver this song, showing us how much she KNOWS her stuff. You'd know that if you were a vocalist. Third, this is a musical number, it takes personal INTERPRETATION of the song to deliver it in its full context and Lea nailed it.

[@joelweisberg]

I know your comment is 6 yrs old, but I agree with it strenuously. I am a vocal coach and singer for decades in Chicago. From her debut in Miss S to this very day she is a beautifully trained singer. Every note is supported and she never runs short of breath. A beautiful thing it is. I love the video of her reunion with her leading man Simon Bowman. I saw the play 7 times between New York and Chicago. I have also watched her audition video a zillion times and always marvel at the look on Boubil's face when he realizes that they had found, at long last, their perfect Kym.

[@jonalynpimentel4437]

She's amazing because she gets in the Character no matter when and where she's singing she feels it.

Watch the original Barbara Streisand ...❤

She is queen.. Who else got goosebumps at the "touch me its so easy to leave me" part?

[@alphaomega6365]

In the midst of online bashers, fake news, trolls, and political turmoil, it's refreshing to hear an ethereal voice like Lea's. It somehow gives us hope.

[@sapphira31]

Wow. The spectrum of facial expressions--anguish, sadness, hope, joy... on her face is incredible (a performance in itself)--as is her voice--

[@eugenewithbrit]

She's astonishing

[@sudeezudee9666]

Elaine Paige, Barbara Streisand sang Memory. I find Lea Salonga's version the most magical, crystal clear and too angelic.

Lea Salonga is the 1st Queen of Broadway. She sings in an angelic singing voice and she is the most famous singer of all the Philippines.

[@mrjamiecrawford]

What I love about Leah that she belts in a mixture of chest and head voice. It never sounds shouty which many singers do.

[@SteveAndrade623]

When this show opened in NY I was there opening night. Betty Buckley played Grizzabella and was magnificent. I saw the show several more times in its multi-year run; including seeing Lea Salonga playing the part in London's West End (their Broadway). I saw many play the part including greats like Elaine Paige but until Lea Salonga I didn't think anyone would ever meet Betty Buckley as she would thro herself into the part so deeply. Then, hearing Lea Salonga, the part came to life again for me.

[@zilam98]

Lea played grizzabella in west end? wow! and i thought i've known all of lea's works

[@meredithchandler73]

@@zilam98 I am 99% sure that Lea never played Grizabella in the West End - only in the Philippines. But Lea did sing Memory with Il Divo on tour in 2014.

[@candicefrost4561]

A classic, yet clear voice. She has kind of a youthful voice, since she enunciates well.

[@desireeban4694]

she's really a great singer ever...she sings differently compare to any other singers! you're phenomenal Lea!

[@gaeljohnson1244]

Very good. This is a very difficult song to sing and not everyone can sing it.

[@Eorzat]

Before, I was a 100% Barbra Streisand fan when it came to this song, but now I find myself splitting it up 50/50 between her and Lea. The amount of emotion that she puts into this song is amazing and inspirational.

[@Kureemy]

As for me, I still prefer Elaine Paige’s performance (although I guess that perhaps the version in Cats and the one that Lea is singing in this video are different), but I agree that this is awesome.

[@camilorafaelmigliocarvalho]

Barbra Streisand still the best!!!

[@renjiroyamashita3452]

b e a u t i f u l!!! standing ovation!!!

[@Russebby]

I always love, when she sings in concert, she gets into character, especially if she's performed that character on stage. She IS Eponine, she IS Kim, and here, she IS Grizzabella.

[@donschmidt8203]

Lea Salonga is an archangel on earth. Surfing through this parade of recordings is a tidal wave of technical and artistic brilliance. In these new renditions she out sings Elaine Page, Judy Garland, Judy Kuhn, (Pocahontas) and all others with an ease beyond the absurd. Looking for the greatest female singer ever? Its Lea Salonga first, last and forever.

[@seansean7819]

Midnight Not a sound from the pavement Has the moon lost her memory She is smiling alone In the lamplight The withered leaves collect at my feet And the wind begins to moan Memory All alone in the moonlight I can smile happy your days (I can dream of the old days) Life was beautiful then I remember the time I knew what happiness was Let the memory live again Every street lamp seems to beat A fatalistic warning Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters And soon it will be morning Daylight I must wait for the sunrise I must think of a new life And I mustn't give in When the dawn comes Tonight will be a memory too And a new day will begin Burnt out ends of smoky days The still cold smell of morning A street lamp dies, another night is over Another day is dawning Touch me, It is so easy to leave me All alone with the memory Of my days in the sun If you touch me, You'll understand what happiness is Look, a new day has begun
