[@hazelpadios5774]

please react miss universe 2018 the high lights of catriona gray. its beautiful, perfect ❤️❤️❤️

[@pwat6311]

Hi Waleska. If you want to react for other mindblowing spanish performance try to react to Darren Espanto Singing Despacito... .Thank you so much..🥰🥰🥰

[@lzlpards]

Have you seen a video of Leah Salonga speaking Spanish. She's indeed very fluent. Try to see her video.

[@arjiecaya156]

Waleskaplease watch the laurel family.. . . Dinnes ,franco and the rest of ther family. They are all singers.

[@teddyreyes3429]

I love it when this kind of reaction turns into something other than the review of the performance itself. When it goes deeper than just mere reaction but struck a lesson, a conversation or a philosophy in life to talk about. It makes watching or listening to the reaction more interesting and enjoyable.❤️❤️❤️

[@ow3nlibra308]

Their philosophical views and opinions are one of the things i look forward to in their reaction vids. Both siblings had their own things to say that really makes sense and most of the time strikes a note that either makes you assess your views or be in awe..

[@cbd93]

That's why I watch them :)

[@JaCi1723]

I can’t wait for you to guest Ms.Lea Salonga.

[@labellavita12]

Me too. The only podcast i've been waiting for.

[@JaCi1723]

@@labellavita12 sameeeeee

[@lyndonsadie]

I totally support that

[@almatt04]

Absolutely!!! That would be DOPE. It's gonna be fun to watch her in your podcast Let's go guys...put her on 🤞

[@noramortera3341]

Yeah go for Leah for your next list

[@jewel7875]

"It's good to be reminded of the greatest sacrifice everyday" Indeed. 🙌🙏

[@celeneacosta4995]

This song is a rendition of suffering of Jesus Christ down to Calvary. Lea's singing was like she was one in the crowd testifying to what happened. Feels real to me ( goose bumps all over my body ) her interpretation- vision like you're there too.

[@leticiachiok8057]

What I really like when Lea sings a musical piece like this is how she interprets the song with feelings. I believe that Wale sees the minute details of the true interpretation of a song.

[@joang503]

Spanish used to be a part of the college curriculum here in the Philippines. I wonder if she took it too, however, she is so talented that I believe she can sing in any language and nail it... I get you Waleska, hearing a song in a language you actually speak adds so much more to a song.

[@fernan5320]

Lea was my contemporary, and we did not have anymore Spanish subject in college.

[@meredithchandler73]

Lea has sung songs with elements of English, Filipino (and there are several different Filipino dialects/languages so I’m not sure how many besides the National language), Spanish, French, Italian, and German.

[@redsniper8693]

Efra said "spanish" is the perfect language to convey pain and love... that's exactly what I feel for tagalog, for me it's the most romatic language in the world, specially when you hear it in a song. That's why I really like it every time you react to a tagalog songs and you search the lyrics and translations and you like it, it really makes me proud of our language :)

[@leticiachiok8057]

The Philippines has a very popular and beautiful singer, now considered a diva matriarch, presently in her late 70's or maybe already at 80 but still so beautiful. Her name is Ms. Pilita Corrales.

[@abetb.]

"...conveying pain, expressing love." Very articulate of Efra, using four simple words combined to communicate deeply profound ideas.

[@caldatv4551]

You are two of the most musically sensible reactors ever!

[@leticiachiok8057]

Agree...both of you always give justice to the pieces you react to. Lea Salonga has interpreted the song "Via Dolorosa" with such depth and emotion...it makes me realize the pain and suffering that Jesus Christ underwent on the way to Calvary.🙏

[@emcee643]

THE ONLY REACTORS WHO SHARE LONG REFLECTIONS, EXPERIENCES WITH SENSE. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SHARING THAT IS WHY I'M SUBSCRIBED!!!

[@donvelilla4018]

please do react to "Eres Tu" Live in Uruguay by Philippine Madrigal Singers

[@arjaygabriel3425]

Yesss

[@baritonekent]

Up !

[@s.t.santos5928]

I've watched it a million times. I hope they react to it. That's beyond everything I've watched on KZbin.

[@babygurltiffany4u]

yes please

[@genevievehume5280]

Yes please🙏🙏

[@dannytejano5655]

There was a famous meme that when people try to sing with Lea S. They are pressured to meet up standards of Leah because they said she never missed a note an pitch a tone

[@adasalonga6869]

Her voice is CLEAR, like an Angel

[@alexiagabriel1724]

Il Divo had a concert tour, with Lea Salonga as their guest, years ago. I hope you can react to their rendition of "Conte Partiro". Lea was also a guest in Josh Groban's concert in Manila and they sang "All I Ask of You". Please react to that performance, too. ❤

[@evelynjayme4671]

All of those Il Divo concert tour were sold out. I have watched one of their concert live myself it was awesome. ❤️ Goosebumps.

[@OXDR2225]

The Choir is the Unitef States Military Academy at West Point Choir... Seeing and listening to them live is ethereal; I had the privilege of listening to them perform at the Bicentennial gala of the West Point Band in Lincoln Center in New York ..check out their " Mansion Of the Lord" number. You'll discover an emotional level. 😊

[@fiorellageno3797]

Such wise young people, there is hope for the future, love your thoughtfulness and explanations.

[@angeloc.7400]

I like how Waleska analyzes the form and the emotion behind the composition and the composer, because it is how on can appreciate the art and artistry behind the piece, and Efra is being challenged to see things in a different point of view. No wonder I'm so hooked to your Feature Fridays.

[@ezmzng]

I used to sing this version during holy week in our church. This reaction brings back many memories when I was still in a choir. ♥️♥️♥️

[@reysantillan1188]

I love how you make the reactions of our Filipina Divas..from Pilita Corrales, Regine Velasquez, and Lea Salonga, it was so amazing that you appreciate also our pride and honor of the Philippines... Filipinas always sing from their hearts and kudos to both of you that you share and make them appreciated also once more.😍😊

[@franciscepillo3044]

We also call holy week here as "Semana Santa" 😁 we also find it hard to sing it during masses as choir. To control both tears and right tune.

[@senoramanuela1052]

Another Lea vid that you can maybe check out is her concert tour in collaboration with IL Divo. They sang Time to Say Goodbye.

[@alexiagabriel1724]

I second this suggestion.

[@holdinghands8686]

I'm Thirding it.......

[@bookerthebully5405]

Yes. Please react also to Lea and Il Divo singing The Music of the Night. Thank you.

[@leticiachiok8057]

Lea Salonga is very much sought for by many international musical artists because of her WORLD-CLASS vocal talents and artistry. Our Philippine pride!

[@s.t.santos5928]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[@alicesalon9512]

It's 7:15am here in the PH. And waking up to see this is just amazing ✨✨✨ ohh my Lea ❤👌 Thanks guys 😊😍

[@edgarborda2748]

This is the first time I heard this song from Lea and it is so emotional and powerful that I got chills and a teary eyes, too. Watching from Illinois USA: 06-11-2021. Nice reactions, guys.

[@SamaKaNa]

I had chills and my eyes watered a little bit….wow. Bravo…..

[@odessajimeno5448]

The song depicts the sorrow of Mary on the pains and suffering of her son JC...yes, its intense and lea was perfect for it.🖒

[@bebemoon]

i love how you guys notice the little things never noticed by other reactors.

[@edahlangote5033]

These two are my new fave 🤩🤩🤩

[@MdsBTSArmy]

Your both so intellectual and listening to you guys is so full feeling. I love Lea since our grade school days.

[@closeupgirl]

Yay! I was waiting for you guys to react to this! As always, Leah does not disappoint. 😍

[@stroberingo19]

Listening to Lea sing is always like a religious experience. She could be singing LONDON BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN and it would be a masterpiece.

[@labellavita12]

Lea's ALONE by heart pls. The IMPROMPTU COMPLETE FOOTAGE and con partiro or time to say goodbye with il divo

[@alicesalon9512]

React to her singing "On My Own" Pleaseeeeeeeee 👌❤😍

[@rachyy6919]

1st time i watched Lea’s perf.. and 1st time seeing Waleska feeling this so much. And she knows the song as she was singing along.

[@magicmilestone]

A MAJORITY of Filipino language and culture comes from Spanish influence (due to our country having been conquered by Spain), so her pronunciation of the Spanish portion of the song is, to no surprise, top notch

[@marita1806]

I am proud just so proud of being a Filipino. What a geat artist. Leah Salonga at her best.

[@bebemoon]

i do hope you can speak with lea salonga too in your podcast

[@iangarcia9836]

Lea Salonga is actually a fluent Spanish speaker. She speaks Spanish when she does concerts in Spanish speaking countries

[@bongzkietanglao6706]

The BEST Leah Salongga

[@jackiesantos7883]

so glad that you made a reaction to Ms. Lea's Via Dolorosa song.. ( Virgin Mary mother of Jesus Christ sorrow during his passion and death ) Virgen dela Rosa ( Lady of Sorrows ) .love you guys and god bless u

[@YYC403NOYP]

Nuestra Señora de los Dolores. Rosa is Rose

[@evelisabueno1474]

Amen

[@rockscorpion]

You're both right, this is what separates Lea from all of our great singers, she's been trained since she was just a child in theater performance, SHE CAN ENACT the lyrics in a song....yeah!

[@billthomas9263]

A rare moment to see you guys cringe with pure emotion and amazement. Cheers 🥂! Lots of love to these wonderful siblings. 😍

[@joybanzon8362]

Please try to react also on Lea Salonga and Josh Groban..Lea sitting on a wheelchair while singing.thank you.😊

[@romzarjee2410]

Thank you very much for reacting to this one!😍 Love it so much!❤️ More power to your channel!👏👏👏

[@purdudan]

Please react to Lea's Vanilla Ice Cream or her entire Sydney concert available on PBS or youtube!

[@langga02222014]

That voice of Lea Salonga is CLEARER THAN MY FUTURE. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mattg8788]

Great reaction. Lea's angelic voice is amazing!

[@peterohmarmendoza6381]

Again, a beautiful performance by Miss Lea Salonga. Thank you both for this reaction. and to Efra... te amo!

[@fl-g15ramirezscullylou87]

Ok. Another Lea Salonga reaction from you guys. Relax self. Calm yourself. Don't shout. Breath in. Breath out. Okay, I'm calm now. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh

[@evelyndampor294]

I live in a particular city here in the Philippines called “ Zamboanga City” our local dialect here is called “chavacano” and it sounds a bit spanish so it's not that difficult to speak spanish language. Greetings from the Philippines waleska

[@wkuntjoro6130]

Beautiful emotional performance. So deep. And I enjoy your English conversations, so British.

[@gilbs72]

Stand Ye Steady is an album by the West Point Glee Club. Lea Salonga is a special guest on this track. The rest of the album is also very moving. It's on streaming platforms and I have this track, Via Dolorosa, on repeat for years now and it still never fails to move me.

[@leticiachiok8057]

It's Lea Salonga's exceptional voice quality that truly suits this musical piece, "Via Dolorosa" and her performance is giving the true emotion of the song. Bravo, Ms. Lea Salonga!

[@dionelbaleros8360]

I was moved .i got teary eyed.😥🙏 First time to hear this Via Dolorosa and oh GOD i am crying😥❤️🙏 Amen

[@indaybadiday8884]

Spanish = expressing love & conveying pain. Efra, you are on-point.

[@adeladel-uw9he]

Thank you for granting one of my request, I too cried when I watched that video, it was so heartfelt, it touches the heart.

[@bookerthebully5405]

Please react to Lea Salonga singing The Music of the Night and A Whole New World with Il Divo. Thank you.

[@yaaaraves8951]

Spanish used to be a part of college curiculum in the Philippines. It’s very possible that Lea learned the language when she was in the University.

[@summersunday6675]

The original singer of this sonf is Sandi Patty, a famous American Christian Gospel singer, this song was recorded in the 80’s.

[@musicartandplay5549]

What a brilliant critic!!! I have been your fan, Waleska!♥️♥️♥️

[@kentasbury3531]

Lea is also an actress and she can sing any song as if she is playing a character. She is good at bringing emotion to a song.

[@carlajerezon8449]

In the Philippines (or the province of Cebu specifically, where I'm from), Dolorosa is what the path mother Mary took on the way to her Son's grave after He died on the cross.

[@carmensuavillo7615]

I love how her voice can smoothly transition feom high notes to soft and mellow.. and her high notes doesn't sound like she's screaming..

[@junpascual8324]

This is incredible! wish you check out her recent live performance of "Blurred lines" as well coz it's definitely dope as well! 👌👍❤️🔥🇵🇭

[@lzlpards]

Have you seen a video of Leah Salonga speaking Spanish. She's indeed very fluent. Try to see her video

[@labellavita12]

Sorry. She can't..she only read through a teleprompter during the il divo spiel. I actually had a video and she answered a tweet about that. Here you can check here kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXvce6SMZc56Zs0

[@rjgc4409]

Thank you for the kind words about Lea. You both sound kind and respectful and bright.

[@alicesalon9512]

I'm sooo happy with this 😊😍 One of those who request this 🖐🖐🖐❤❤❤❤ Thanksssss

[@bookerthebully5405]

Please react to Lea Salonga singing "Blurred Lines".

[@astridquotidian]

Wow that was a powerful piece, thanks for sharing. Filipinos seem to share the sentiment of folklore music and ballads during the colonial period under much oppression, pain and suffering and thus engrained in their music. This style of singing came about when the west had opera, we had *Kundiman* which may have been sung in Spanish and they sang for their loved ones, freedom for the motherland, and a prayer and outcry to God. Also there were songs of melodic *Harana* where men would sing, usually accompanied with a band, to court and serenade a lady under her window at night.

[@nestorenriquez3284]

That girl is deep, very smart, and speaks her mind.

[@bogieabono4945]

Leah salongga HUMAN HEART once on this island rehearsals

Beautiful performance.

Leah Salongga EVER the BEST

[@mrbrightside6095]

Queen Lea 👸🏻♥️ Vía Dolorosa es el camino que hizo Jesús con la cruz hacia su crucifixión. Es una calle en Jesusalem

[@meredithchandler73]

Off the top of my head, I can only think of one other song sung partly in Spanish that Lea has sung: Can You Feel The Love Tonight? (from The Lion King) with Il Divo. Lea went on tour with Il Divo. They had done an album of Broadway songs with various women collaborators, but they wanted just one woman to go on tour with them to sing the various songs, and Lea was someone who could sing the different songs.

[@Rosannasfriend]

Can’t wait!

[@zeeam4355]

Your are so pretty 😍❤️ please visit Philippines.. Ill be honored to tour you around ☺️

Literally top 3 videos for me bruh

[@pantunpanjaitan9109]

I love Lea

[@Marie-fg1im]

I appreciate the effort both of you put in the video. Even with outfits.

[@armandotantoco5284]

The Philippines was a colony of Spain during its heyday for 333 years. The Philippines was discovered by the Westernerrs by Magellan for Spain and was actually named after its monarch King Philip. Spanish lessons were also subjects in high school and college. Some Spanish words are found in the Filipino language. That's the reason why in Asia most of our names are Spanish in origin and why speaking Spanish comes easy to us albeit very few now can understand and speak the language.

[@yojchuacarag]

World class Leah 💕

[@artesiningart4961]

😊🇵🇭 Again, Waleska and Efra engaging in another philosophical discussion on aesthetics and the arts, especially in acting, acting through song/singing and music, performance, and the like... I am all for this kind of moments in their reaction videos. 😍

[@bebemoon]

i think acting through song is you put yourself in a scene as if you are a character saying the words of the song, you have a story to tell.

[@ericabando3351]

Regarding choir singing no need more acting..you put the acting in emotion while singing.. different in theater sing and acting movement of body. Choir putting the most emotional, most feeling in the song.

[@betchieharrison5526]

I enjoyed watching your videos

[@jonadeljessiepeneyra2118]

Spanish used to be a mandatory subject in the Philippines (our batch, unfortunately, didn't have the leisure of studying it). I haven't seen this performance. Thank you, I get to see stuff I have no idea about. I love it so much (including your reactions, as usual, most especially Waleska's "I'm just trying to make an argument" and Efra saying she wins😅) P.S. Lourdes is beautiful and the solace you find there, I have no words for it. If I could get to travel again, I'd love to go there again. I think you'll enjoy it there, Efra.
