Let's start this journey!!!!

[@tearyowl6075]

Glad that you're both backkkk😍🥰

[@nowthen.4363]

Thank you!! 💙 xx

[@mjhetzer]

Speechless. She brings her Broadway sensibilities to this eyewitness account of the crucifixion and the result is brutally affecting. When she sings about the "stripes upon his back" she nearly speaks the phrase in outrage; when she sings about "his love for you and me," her lilting phrasing falls like leaves from a tree branch. You believe it. Reaching up for an unexpected high note on the final pronounciation of "Christ" in the coda just blows me away. Then the song slips away to a simple hum. I agree with you about the humility required for a performance like this. There's not an ornamentation to be heard. The song is not about Lea; it's about something bigger. She's astute enough to get out of the way. Not too many vocalists could pull this off. She even looks gorgeous!

[@nowthen.4363]

Absolutely Michael!! Totally agree! Thanks for sharing your thoughts xx

[@florencediaz7713]

Michael Hetzer thank you for your thoughtful insights. Very well said!

[@jennylynosorio556]

Well put together thoughts 💯

[@sallyide9421]

Excellent comment. Well said. I wept 😓 when she sang.

[@bebemoon]

when you said she's capable of belting it all but she held back, i remember when she said in The Voice to a contestant "just because you can doesn't mean you should".

[@bethorgan1157]

Hi everyone! We're back, and what a performance to come back on. Lea blows us away every time, but this was something very special. We'd love to read your thoughts! Xx

[@buttercup9155]

hope u can also react to lea singing let it go during her concert in london palladium last 2019 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX-9pqelbMiCnbM she also sang this is me from the greatest showman kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5nacnqbj910btU

[@theaevangelista3456]

I hope you can make a reaction video of regine and nmartin broadway musical medley or regines version of love story where do i begine shes wearing a red gown

[@boying100]

I hope you can react to Morrissett Amon rendition of "Never Enough" on wish Bus 107.5

[@LarryChaseSolangGayaga]

Again, for the Nth time.... Lea understood, learned and showed the heart, character and the color of the song. Separating her from the others.

[@acnixon]

Lea Salonga made me tear up without even knowing it.

[@ashsexydivah]

Lea Salonga is the best 😘

[@nowthen.4363]

Sorry for the delay! We had technical difficulties here. xxx Happy Salonga Sunday (/Monday)

[@labellavita12]

Waited and always checking for Salonga Sunday..happy to see this in my notification

[@jesagreceljimena1203]

Always waiting for Salonga's Sunday. I'm so happy when I'm notified. Love both of you. ❤🤗

[@nowthen.4363]

@@jesagreceljimena1203 Thanks Jesa! Much love xx

[@earthgrazer5511]

I was starting to get worried when you guys didn't upload so I'm really glad to see you both well. Edit: I'm just glad you're back, it's definitely fine to miss sundays ofc.

[@nowthen.4363]

@@earthgrazer5511 Aww thank you!! Yes we’re well!! Xx

[@labellavita12]

Other youtuber are doing podcast and inviting artist to interview. Hope you get to feature Lea and get to talk to her while she's at home bcos of quarantine. I think it's easier now to reach her than when the border opened then she'll be a moving target.

[@wkuntjoro6130]

I immerse myself in the song, and I appreciate your comments. Thank you.

[@jmr1029]

Lea means excellent with humility.😍🥰 She sang it for her Savior and King 👑 and God. Glory to God 🙌🏻🙏❤️

[@meredithchandler73]

By the way, this performance wasn’t part of a memorial service. It’s a concert of the US Military Academy Cadet Glee Club singing mainly patriotic songs (of course, this song is an exception). It was recorded for an album and I think there were only 2 guest artists - one was Lea.

[@nowthen.4363]

Thanks Meredith. I guess it just gave us that feeling of memorial. Especially with the words spoken before in the full video xx

[@bebemoon]

it is some sort of a memorial, i believe this was for an event/album in honor and memory of General Douglas MacArthur

[@lingling2577]

Lea will always be a queen.

[@lextalliones12345]

I have been waiting for this reaction on Lea's Via Dolorosa. I requested for this song 3x in your channel. MY nth power THANK YOU. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!

[@nowthen.4363]

You’re welcome!! Thanks for suggesting. We got there in the end ❤️

[@joannajose7188]

Yay!! Salonga Sundays 😍😍. Let's do some pop this time. She has a version of Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke. Hope you can react to that 🙏🙏

[@bebemoon]

omg yaaas pls?????

[@dreadlocke1151]

Yes, please! She sounds so different in that song. So sassy and sexy but still classy! I love it!

[@ecks081]

I love this song so much. And I’m very happy that Lea took this chance to cover the song. Her voice holds so much emotions and power that we’re like transported and took the Via Dolorosa route that Christ took on His way to Calvary. This song is usually sung during Holy Week, to commemorate Christ’s way to the cross. The suffering, the pain, etc. Lea have justice by having the right amount of emotions. Beautiful storytelling, I agree 100%

[@jay-ardeguzman5891]

Just like you, I was speechless after the performance.. totally stunned. Thanks for having a Salonga Sunday again!

[@rexalexmacedon]

thanks -- that was a beautiful reaction to an intimate and powerfully-moving performance. i think lea salonga was invited to west point to sing with the u.s. military academy cadet glee club, which was recorded in an audio CD for the benefit of soldiers who fought in iraq and afghanistan. a salute to bravery and service as well as to artistry and inspiration!

[@nowthen.4363]

Thank you!! 😍✨ x

[@toneepolines8021]

Thought I will not see the day of Salonga Sunday lolz ... as always brilliant and just so much to take. Lea’s performance was so palpable and guess what I did? Twitted Lea re this reaction. Hopefully fingers cross she will read it. Thanks again Christian and Beth 😘😘😘

[@nowthen.4363]

Thanks Tonee!! X

[@bebemoon]

i do hope she gets to see your reaction videos, so many takeaways

[@joybanzon8362]

Thank you for this guys!pLease to react also on Lea Salonga’s and Josh Groban “The Prayer” Lea’s on a wheelchair video 2019.thank you.

[@diegothewizard]

Her pronunciation is clearer than my future.

[@newyorkmyndd9801]

Maybe the best performance I have ever seen. Flawless. She is in a place with very few who can bring all these amazing tools to her songs. An amazing professional artist at her craft. She has adjusted and grown through her career and continues to astound. Love this.

[@meredithchandler73]

MISSED YOU GUYS! Another fabulous Lea reaction. Lea's performance of Via Dolorosa is stunning.

[@nowthen.4363]

Thanks Meredith!! Xx

[@jhomolmolina7036]

Truly amazing vocal range of Ms. Lea Salonga! Please react for the beautiful song duet, “All I Ask of You” and “The Prayer” version of Lea Salonga and Josh Groban! Fabulous performance, for sure you will Love it! 🥰

[@cabanjo1]

Made me cry as I listened to this song. It was a heartfelt rendition.

[@cates3555]

Fresh, crisp, clear, suave, you can really be drawn to her singing and what she's singing rather than her trying to draw the attention to her but to the song. Love it.

[@mjs5663]

“Sacrifice” that was truly personified made alive by Lea’s rendition of this song . . and when voiced out the word “Christ” there was a deep reverence I can’t express, one needs to get immersed in the sound of her song . . . yes it becomes her song indeed. Thank you.

[@One.Zero.One101]

Lea is my favorite singer of all time. I love all of your analysis of her songs.

[@500Akoni]

Thanks, It touches the heart, well, my heart. Her voice is just amazing.

[@jazmindizon7824]

This was my request! Thanks for request granted. Great analysis, as usual. Kudos The Northern Coach! 👏

[@nowthen.4363]

Thanks for the suggestion Jazmin xx

[@MystyReious]

In 2019 Lea had a concert tour in the UK pls react to her rendition of Hamilton's Burn and see if she still using the same technique because this one is more recent... and also her Impromptu singing of alone, the complete footage in a bar.. lastly with her daughter singing "shy"

[@bongdot23]

I had chills and my eyes watered…….

[@marissa21967]

I always look forward to Sundays because of Salonga Sundays!

Happy to be back Sheena!! Xx

[@meredithchandler73]

I thought we were getting Salonga Sundays every two weeks! "Burn" was in mid-April and we got "Via Dolorosa" three weeks later. And it's now been three weeks since "Via Dolorosa" came out. I need my Lea fix!!!

[@lennieterre4677]

So thankful, you’re back! This is amazing. One of my favorite performances of Lea. Heart-wrenching. Your reaction is just perfect. 👏👏👏

Lea also made me cry while watching her sing (Via Dolorosa). My mind traveled back to the Old Walled City in Jerusalem when we were walking down "Via Dolorosa" many years ago.

Please react to Lea Salonga singing The Music of the Night with Il Divo. Thank you ❤️

[@leticiachiok8057]

Lea Salonga is purely a phenomenal singer....making this song more meaningful with its lyrics. It caused me to really reflect, that there was this Messiah by the nsme of Jesus Christ who suffered and died on the crosd for us. 😔😥

[@jameelmaranan7316]

check lea's LOOK A RAINBOW. plsssssssss

[@teresitaanggo4739]

If anything, she has the moral authority yo teach music to anyone!😇😇

[@nayls1319]

react to lea and simon singing sun and moon in manila

[@Milliardo5]

Well, if you're having Salonga Sundays then you should also react to her when she was a kid. She has a clip of her singing Tomorrow from Annie when she was nine. The host was Kuh Ledesma, by that time already an accomplished singer here in the Philippines: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipPWZ6ewg698psU

[@theaevangelista3456]

[@marijolivitzky4336]

Guys, please react on her "Don't Cry for Me Argentina". Thank you.

[@mdychengco]

So much comment

[@lingling2577]

If you want to see a different side of Lea then react to her video singing impromptu of "ALONE" in a bar. She was called to go onstage twice so watch till the end. She went out to drink with friends but when people notice her existence among the crowd then everyone asked her to sing. How often can you randomly watch a legend perform for free. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3rIgptqbtx4a9U

[@labellavita12]

Lea's "music of the night" with il divo kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXnMeoCvbNiiiNE is also gorgeous same with their versions with Lea of course of A whole new world kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKSlaJKtbst2rKM and time to say goodbye kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ7FeamJhrOGgpY , kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpCpoX2nh6-la8U (my favorite and everyone noticed how sweet Sebastien is to Lea, in every tour they had with her)

[@ecks081]

Hope you get to review one of lea’s latest musical. Here’s one, “Allegiance” with her performance of “Higher”. You’ll see how her techniques have grown and the quality of her voice to have become even more beautiful! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3TFY5lmbrSGY7c

[@lingling2577]

waiting for Salonga Sunday. I hope also you can react to "I could have dance all night/back to before because there's a story behind those songs kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp62ZZqMjJJ5jtk also her performance with il divo (Time to say goodbye) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpCpoX2nh6-la8U

[@trojanette8345]

First time I've seen her w/o so much make-up, on which makes her look like a raccoon. Either of you know what year this was recorded in?

[@meredithchandler73]

The album and dvd that this was on was released in September 2005, so I assume it was recorded in 2004 or 2005.

[@AndrewLumsden]

Lea gives the ultimate, definitive performance, but you make no mention of just how bad the recording is. She is not forward enough in the mix. Far too much piano, percussion and brass that her narrative gets overpowered by the accompaniment, the fault of the conductor and sound engineer.

[@maxandmaggie2010]

Not a good outfit for church

[@ericmarte8728]

Don’t worry about the outfit ... just concentrate on the performer ...

[@nowthen.4363]

I wonder, what makes you think this outfit isn’t suitable for a performance in a church? This isn’t a church service. It’s an understated outfit as the event isn’t about her, yet smart and simple. I think it’s a good choice. Anything more would be too much. X But yes there’s so so much more to take from this performance than the outfit. ✨
