as talented as lea is, and how for the most part her freshness and youth really worked for her and this show at that time, but certain songs of this show did need a bit more sophistication that can only come from growth/experience/maturity. especially the song I Know I'd Give My Life For You. i've seen her perform that song later on as she matured and eventually with a child to her experience, and of course there's no longer that naivety of her youth, but the maturity certainly shone in that song.
