Judy Kuhn’s version is better. Check her KZbin video.

[@Francis-mt8xu]

Your opinion is wrong hahahaha shes very nasal cannot belt like a diva...shes just a broadway singer

[@robertobutz993]

Lea Salonga nailed all the Broadway singers and performers in Broadway and West End theatrical history. Period...................👌

[@zzzap6013]

She looked so beautiful and perfectly sang the song. She's one singer you want to hear AND see perform.

[@michaelmccarthy2498]

Lea’s Tiger face was magnificent acting, best Filipina soprano in world. 🇮🇪

[@janustheodore4396]

she is not a soprano - - - alto- mezzo

[@downthispath6538]

It's a real talent to still shine and perform perfectly when your pianist sounds like he got the music sheet upside down.

[@Dan-gi6tf]

Dan McGlaun I don’t think it’s the fault of the pianist as well. It’s just that there is no space for an actual orchestra to perform here. The pianist is trying to replicate all the relevant sounds for the piece, including the supposed sounds of violins and other instruments. We’re just not used to it, that’s why it sounds odd.

[@bellevoor]

The pianist is probably sight reading. Cut him a break

[@karlbeilstein8774]

She not only sings the song, SHE IS THE MUSIC!!!

[@mjcortez2460]

Taoist spotted

[@azelmamortlake4471]

Was I the only one who expected her to start singing "And now I'm all alone again" for a split second before she started?

[@nasugbubatangas]

hahaha Exactly what was running in my head.

[@MRPOPOY-xl1mj]

The clarity of her utterance of every words is so great . She has a very nice accent compare to most Americans ,she speaks so clearly !

[@AlvinTayag]

the tone, clarity, emotion, power, and most importantly the heart! WOW!

[@softshoes]

She automatically falls into character when she sings this. Like an angel rising out of the mist. A wonderful performance, like I could ever expect less. Bravo Lea.

[@joelweisberg]

Back when Miss Saigon was on Broadway in first run I flew to NYC from Chicago to see her. Being blown away I got a single ticket for the next evening's performance. I saw it again when the show stopped in Chicago probably with a new Kym. In all, I saw the show 7 times. Needless to say I absolutely adored her and the show.

[@dexterbarrientos632]

Never a time i get bored listening to Lea... 😁

[@lextalliones12345]

How come you're so perfect?

[@lololol695]

Brilliant! Lea Salonga is a Filipino Pride!

[@garrettramsfield6725]

Her performance of this song here is head and shoulders above her on stage performance of this song in the 2010; 25th Anniversary concert....

[@auroramarieclaire4898]

After watching Anne Hathaway's version, this one Lea sang sounds so smooth to me.

[@lh9591]

They didn’t let Anne drink water, so I’ll cut slack

[@jasonsantos935]

i love everything about you Ms. Lea Salonga! Continue to be a blessing and a good model to the youth. I always watch your shows and listen to all your songs, i love you and i hope to see you in person in FUN HOME Manila this November 2016!

She was already a multi-awarded Olivier and Tony many years back at that time.

[@mskimyu]

Lea is, as usual, GREAT. Those who comment against the pianist are so criticizing, yet, only excel in, none other than, criticizing. Guess the nationality most of these ones? Mahabaging langit, matuwa nalang kayo masyado kayong nagmamagaling!

[@iqbal03ha69]

There was a time when men were kind When their voices were soft And their words inviting There was a time when love was blind And the world was a song And the song was exciting There was a time Then it all went wrong I dreamed a dream in time gone by When hope was high and life worth living I dreamed that love would never die I dreamed that God would be forgiving Then I was young and unafraid And dreams were made and used and wasted There was no ransom to be paid No song unsung, no wine untasted But the tigers come at night With their voices soft as thunder As they tear your hope apart As they turn your dream to shame He slept a summer by my side He filled my days with endless wonder He took my childhood in his stride But he was gone when autumn came And still I dream he'll come to me That we will live the years together But there are dreams that cannot be And there are storms we cannot weather I had a dream my life would be So different from this hell I'm living So different now from what it seemed Now life has killed the dream I dreamed

Corry Shih lol. True

[@bastilleisgod3168]

HAHAHAHA

[@LoveLondon5]

It's not fault of the actual pianist, you realize.... that's the written arrangement. The piano as an instrument just isn't the right match here, but it likely wasn't feasible to bring in an orchestral accompaniment for this event.

[@milo8700]

Hahahahaha!!!

[@siyukiito3312]

@@LoveLondon5 if it wasn't for this explanation, I wouldn't understand why the piano accompaniment is not that match to Lea's performance.

All the dumb comments about the pianist... lol vocal performance was live.... instrumentals weren't wasn't and were clearly studio recordings.
