Lea Salonga "Don't Cry for me Argentina" EVITA || Now Then: Salonga Sundays

[@cm9660]

Oh yes, "She can pull the audience" to her performance! I love the way you reacted to her performance! Very professional! Kudos!

[@aubrey4699]

Lea Salonga is the first to give the Philippines pride. We Filipinos love her.

[@thomasbradley4505]

When I worked for Pacific Bell in the 90s, I worked with a guy of Filippino heritage who loved sports and didn’t care for musical theater, but he was OBSESSED with Lea.

[@jaxonsaledrab7035]

Her brother is the one conducting the orchestra! Both have strong musical god given talents!

[@labellavita12]

And her daughter has done her first musical as well. Kinda following mommy's.

i love ms. lea salonga for me she is perfect! and beautiful...

[@rosewelltabilon1710]

Whenever I hear and see Lea perform, she has this something that always caught my attention and made me feel wanted to listen to her all that time. She has that magic. She connect me easily.

[@ivydonesa8006]

The storytelling is so, so impeccable... Lea is a league of her own, one of the best in the world. She's an icon. I love her.

[@debbymann7135]

Loved your first Salonga Sunday!

[@karloalmonidovar9497]

Being not a fan of musical theater, listening to your story analyses both of you, educates me and entertains me so much. Lovely❤

[@rdc5449]

Full package 📦 done ✅ host’s 👍👍👍and ads too 🥰

[@linzigrogan6844]

Lea always delivers, better than anyone else in my opinion, but sometimes I have noticed is that she just seems to move to another level altogether ( it’s not something I can describe, it’s just more of a feeling) when Gerard, her brother, is up there on stage with her ( he is the conductor of the orchestra, & extremely talented in his own right). They seem to have this telepathic thing going on & I’ve seen many concerts when he has been the conductor & they have a laugh & a joke & they can ad lib & change things at a moments notice because he seems to know exactly what she wants & Lea is 100% confident of what Gerard is able to provide her with, chemistry to the max for two people who’s whole lives together have had music at its core. I don’t know if anyone else feels the way I do about this or if it’s something I’ve maybe imagined because I would like it to be true!!

[@LarryChaseSolangGayaga]

The way why Lea Salonga is at par from other musical artists, aside from her impeccable vocal quality and her unmatched enunciation, diction and delivery, her great understanding of the song and of the character she is in and her intelligence as a musical actress is unmatched, in a different league of her own and incomparable from the others in great length. The most intelligent musical actress I ever know.

[@nowthen.4363]

Absolutely!! Xx

[@jernimarc]

Agree...I just love and admire her.

[@teresitalardizabal8652]

Am a huuuuggggeee fan of her, I named my youngest after her!

[@pdgf]

You mean above par and NOT at par. AT PAR means equal footing, when i think you mean that she is without equal or above them all in your succeeding sentences.

[@LarryChaseSolangGayaga]

[@meredithchandler73]

Lea had been working professionally in the Philippines for 10 years before MISS SAIGON and then she had been playing Kim in London and on Broadway for a couple of years before she played her first Disney princess.

[@nowthen.4363]

Ah yes of course! X

[@myfengshuishop]

Salonga Sundays! Great! Great! Great! Love it!

[@garylife5320]

That raised arm gesture is absolute Evita! She couldn't do it with both arms but pays homage with one arm.

[@malaythong10]

She’s beautiful.

[@marilee6519]

I don't know why every time I listen to her the song always became emotional. Her eyes conveys too many emotions. And your detailed thoughts just made me more emotional. You made me tear up.

[@aliciasmith6016]

OMG thank you i waited for you guys to react on this. Cheer mate. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😘

[@roseastillero9934]

Look how Lea holds the microphone as she sings.

[@Replay3784]

The portrayal of a strong woman that is Evita Peron. Leah puts it forward in this performance.

[@yuridomingo6220]

Very good review/reaction. intelligently done !

[@alexanderbarut]

You, both, are very brilliant reactors.

[@bebemoon]

thank you so much for this regular segment

[@egmte]

Her Disney stint came much later in her career. Her origin comes from theater stage at a very young age, trained at 7 yrs old at the Repertory of the Philippines.

[@macoyjnix19]

I though it was just mere reaction... To my surprise, it was a great review... Very informative... Like what I use to see in History channel... Love love..

[@071949]

About Lea Salonga, there is something special about her: the voice, the face, the body language as she performs can make me tear up no matter what the song. Not many other singers can do that. I ❤ her...

[@pialee1475]

yay!! Salonga Sundays ❤️

[@mrbrightside6095]

Loved it! Great job guys thank you! Another epic performance of her. Not really musical theater but if you have a chance check her take on Via Dolorosa it’s a master act

[@nowthen.4363]

Well this is now dedicated to ALL things Lea! So I’ll add it to the next vote! X

[@cherrypie2846]

[@Mejsification]

When she sings this song it gives me chill.

[@corinocancino9264]

Th3 essence of what is a great performance a music rendition at its finest

[@kentasbury3531]

She is an actress even in concert setting.

[@lanivirtudes1134]

[@darkcloud47]

Take note that the conductor of the orchestra is her brother, Gerard Salonga

[@guillermomarron3704]

Very intelligent analysis.. thanks for your thoughtful appreciation how Ms. Lea is an outstanding performer! May your channel grow and reach more to all musical lovers.

[@nowthen.4363]

Thanks so much!!! Xx

[@elisadelapena4429]

Hello! Lea started her musical theater career at age 7 in the Philippines. At age 9, she played the lead role in the musical Annie. There's a video of her singing Tomorrow from that musical. You might be interested in reacting to it.

[@symph2000]

Here it is. Lea at 9 in Repertory Philippines' production of Annie: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHTIZoiEa6hqhaM

[@missrarabella]

I sang along with Lea's version of "Tomorrow" when I was a kid in the 80's.

[@trenae77]

And let’s not forget Miss Saigon at 18. She was on her way to Broadway Legend status before Disney ever approached her.

[@aldotabing9045]

Best comments.

[@evelyncalizo9329]

Both of you are insightful critiques...love your criticisms. Enjoy this and your other Salonga Sundays.❤️

[@joybanzon8362]

[@nowthen.4363]

Thanks Lennie!! xx

[@fl-g15ramirezscullylou87]

Ok, I admit. Just a simple citizen of the Philippines here. I saw Lea. I clicked. P.S. I hope you would also react to her "Blurred lines" cover, that's d'beeest!!! P.S. Lovely and cool reaction as evaaahhh!!!! Woot! 😁🤘💛💯

[@christinemercado3458]

I am here because of Lea. Love how your reaction videos. Excited to see more. :)

[@nowthen.4363]

Thanks Christine xx

[@gilbs72]

The character Peron actually draws people through her ability to project sincerity. Even today that is the holy grail of every politician. It makes their job much much easier whether it is to uplift the people, or to personally gain from them. So there is no conflict between what Lea is projecting here and the positive/negative views about Eva.

[@nightingale_1417]

Her first job is with Miss Saigon playing the character of Kim and not with Disney ... fyi. The Disney came after a few of her stage plays performances. She was never underrated, she is known all over the world with her stage play performances in Miss Saigon, Les Miserables just to name a few. Won the Sir Laurence Olivier best actress award for her performance in Miss Saigon.

[@meredithchandler73]

In months where there are 3 Sundays, may I suggest 3 Lea reactions? I really don't think you'll run out of videos to react to very quickly!!!

[@jesagreceljimena1203]

Please react to Lea Salonga and Russell Watson, Someone Like You. Both of you are great reactors. Thank you so much. Looking foreward for more reactions from both of you. ❤🤗

[@bookerthebully5405]

Please react to. Lea Salonga singing "Via Dolorosa"

[@jp180]

when she sang the last line, lol i really believed her for that moment

[@tunadoctorwong2443]

One of the most iconic interpretations of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina." It is one of the most recognized songs from Musical Theatre. Just a little medical history about Eva Peron and her predecessor , Isabel Martinez Peron. Both of Juan Peron's spouses died of the same disease, cervical cancer. It is now known that most cervical cancers arise from infections due to human papilloma virus (HPV). Thus both of them died after being infected by their husband, Juan Peron, as HPV is a sexually transmitted disease.

[@chetgentroni20]

Great reaction. Lea Salonga is the only Filipino who won Tony Award in Miss Saigon launched in London in the 80's before you were born. I'm glad you appreciate real talents. Here's she is with Rachelle Ann Go singing The Movie In My Mind (truly mind blowing talents) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIjcpGuohp14jqs

[@thomasbradley4505]

I would love to see a reaction to the song Higher from Allegience. If you aren’t familiar with it, it’s about a Japanese family sent to an internment camp during WWII. It’s partly based on George Takei’s experience growing up, and he plays her father in the show. She is stunning (unsurprisingly) in the show

[@marygracemacapal6234]
