Can you believe this woman is the voice of Princess Jasmine from the original Aladdin, the singing voice of Mulan, and the lead role of Miss Saigon.. How much talent can you fit into one human?? She's always been so confident, like nothing can bring her down, since her childhood audition videos.. Truly talented, humble, confident, and graceful human being.

After winning the Tony for her performance in "Miss Saigon," Lea thought that her career on Broadway would take off. However, many producers would not cast her on Broadway because she was Asian. Cameron Mackintosh called Lea and offered her the part of Eponine and she was delighted to take on the role. In the back of her mind, she knew that she had to be perfect in her performances to silence the critics and doubters. PERFECT she has been in her performances as Eponine and luckily this was captured for all eternity at the 10th Anniversary Concert of "Les Miserables."

Frances Ruffelle sang this song the best…hands down. Because Frances’ voice had oddities and idiosyncrasies ; little “imperfections” with her enunciations of some of the lyrical words….which, all together, created her PERFECTION. Not sure how to explain this but…sometimes when a singer enunciates every word & syllable “too perfectly” it sounds somewhat generic….meaning, the uniqueness gets erased. IDK. But NOBODY nailed this song like Frances Ruffelle did.

Fun fact: Broadway performs 8 shows every week with a total of 1000 plus shows and Lea Salonga won all awards in one season for Miss Saigon including Theatre World Award, meaning that award is for debut performers. And you will no longer be second nominated nor more, so it is 10x more difficult to win than Grammys, not even the great Patti Lupone could claim that. She used 'On my own' for Miss Saigon audition. The producers of Miss Saigon are also the producers of Les Miserables, they thought that she should have been Eponine at 1st place. So, they decided to cast her as Eponine on 10th anniversary dream cast and Fantine on 25th Anniversary Dream Cast due to her unique crystal clear voice. She is the only person who portray two main roles in Les Mis in history. Imagine how the characters would fit into one human! There is also a racial discrimination back then so they tested Lea to perform as Eponine. Lea is the reason why the Asians are performing theaters from then, because Lea nailed it all and everyone including the haters are having a standing ovation. Some Filipino haters should do a research before hating a Broadway megastar. Her voice? you can't spell cLEAr without LEA.

That's what made this rendition so special IMO. As someone who somewhat had been in theatre, it takes so much to get emotions out while singing and especially in front of an audience. You really have to be in that moment to get it all right, and Lea was in that moment when she went up to the mic to deliver this masterpiece.

Lea's performance here is phenomenal as always, but can we talk about how at the end of the song, you can see that she doesn't break character even when the crowd goes wild? She doesn't smile or wave at them. She looks defiant and angry and untrusting, which is how Eponine's character truly is, and I love that about her. That right there is true and pure professionalism, skill, and talent. She deserves so much better.

If this Act is part of the play about the story, I think you really need to stay in character so maybe that's why she didn't make those smiling or waving gestures.

Breaking character would be unprofessional - but given that she’s the first Asian to be cast in a lead role on Broadway and a lot of racist toffs were dying for her to blow it - she shows outstanding professionalism not to do anything out of character. Lea changed the way that western stage performances operate forever with this performance, she must have been thinking about all her knock backs in the industry during that ovation (which is also unheard of at the start of an act). This was truly the most groundbreaking performance in the history of stage, she’s the only reason that anyone on earth can perform on Broadway or the West End in the modern day.

Frances' original rendition of this song portrayed a more childish, heartbroken Eponine. Lea's version transforms Eponine into a very complex character who is angry, upset, and dejected, but still dreams of having mutual love. The complexity of her version as well as her crystal clear, perfectly pitched voice is what brings me back to this video. Eponine as we know her today is greatly based off of Lea's version. While other versions (like Samantha's) are beautiful, no one has gotten the mix of emotions just right the way Lea has here.
@Bushviper8 жыл бұрын
+nons I disagree, Ruffelle put much more heart and emotion into her renditions. Every time I hear Lea sing this, I find her performance, completely emotionless. She sings so rapidly and matter of factually, she never lets herself go, you never get the same yearning feeling you get from Ruffelle. Leas performances just come off cold and boring in my opinion. But hey, everyone likes something different I guess.

+Axin younger people tend to not like Rufelle, most older people I have ever talked to prefer her. The younger generation has their own mind about how a singer should sing and has developed a mold that they like their singers to fit into. They tend to not be open to unique singers that dont fit that mold, which is unfortunate because that types of singers are generally the ones that bring the most character to the role.
@etherella8 жыл бұрын
I don't listen to any performance of this in terms of who sings it, but whether I can hear Eponine's heart in the lyrics and the melody. My problem with the Ruffelle version is that I don't like her her phrasing and enunciation on particular syllables - it makes it sound more like an 80s power ballad (so of its time) than a musical performance in its own right. I do not have a favourite performer, but I do not hear Eponine in Ruffelle's performance. I hear it in Lea's and in Sam's, but I don't think it is about someone being better. It's just about who, to me, persuades me that they're Eponine. Frances Ruffelle can clearly sing. She just isn't Eponine enough for my ears. But it is all personal opinion. There is no right answer.

anna lytical well to be fair she is really pitiful but I never felt sympathy for her not until I watched the musical. I feel sorry for Anzelma but not to her. Maybe because she was cold to little Cossette, maybe because the money Fantine sent for Cossette ended up used for Eponine and Anzelma or most likely because she's a selfish little thing. Marius has no plan of joining the rebellion. But this Eponine tired of being a bridge thought "if I couldn't have him then it's better if we die together " (I really hate her at this part.) So she hid Cosette's letter(?) and informed Marius that Cossette left for England(?) Marius in despair joined the rebellion. Eponine then saved Marius. Eponine's death was tragic but was not sweet like A little fall of Rain. * (?)- I'm not sure if this is exactly what happened.

There are currently 9,999 comments, which makes this the 10,000th. So I will share this anecdote: Many years ago, my brother and I were driving from Canada to Texas to visit family when we decided to stop in Chicago. On a total lark, a Saturday matinee of Les Mis was playing and nosebleed tickets were still available. I'd not seen it before, but my brother had and so he went into it with expectations. When Eponine first came on stage, my brother leaned over and whispered something to the effect of "an Asian Eponine? That's not right!" But then she started to sing and any expression of criticism or doubt abruptly ceased. Now in 2020, I compared notes with my brother and checked the timeline, and realized that indeed, in 1996, I had seen Lea Salonga perform live as Eponine. Now, almost 25 years later, although I recall being impressed at the time, I regret not having truly appreciated what I had witnessed in the moment.

But she performs it as Fantine instead, because originally the song was sung by Fantine after she gets fired and kicked out onto the street. She sings about the misery she is smelling in the air and the poverty she is seeing in the streets. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3e5f6Z3rJJna80 Brings a tear to your eye the original version does.

She turned what could have been a 2 dimensional wishy washy lovesick character into such a complex being with one song. It would have been easy for her to be sad while singing this song, heartbroken and even desperate, but Eponine had some street smarts in her. She was a tough cookie, had to be. When she was young her mother doted her but then everything went to shit after Jean Valjean took Cosette away. She was worth nothing more than a look out for her parents and the one person she considers her friend and potential lover, falls for another. Yeah, she's pissed, she mad at him, at herself, the world in general, but in the end she realizes that she can't take away his happiness for the sake of her own. It's not fair to him or her and Lea portrays this so well in the final notes. So hands down, my favorite Eponine.

She has snapped back into reality a bit and realizes what her life will be without the one she loves. 3:48-3:53 - Anger - Notice her face when she says "without me, his world will go on turning" - She's angry...angry at him for being so aloof, at herself for not doing enough, at life for being so unfair. Why does he get to be happy when she cannot? 4:25-4:30 - Acceptance - She resigns herself to the fact that she will never have him...except in her mind.
