In this video Marc discusses the most requested video on this channel: "Movie In My Mind" from Miss Saigon as performed by Lea Salonga and Rachelle Ann Go.

[@theo0514]

Lea was also one of Rachelle's mentors back in the Philippines when Rachelle was justing starting out in theater. Proud mentor there. :)

[@wig.8gles]

Wow

[@wig.8gles]

No wonder they're both good.

[@gelosangalang]

“Never break character”, except when you’re Lea Salonga 😁

[@MarcDanielPatrick]

Hey I mean fair enough. Haha. Love this.

[@infjqueen8133]

I think the clapping and.laughing made me cringe more..

[@fulviozottola5012]

They were in character, but, that duet took place after the musical was completed.

[@petermichaelyohannan1152]

But knowing Lea, I know how professional she is. Maybe she is just a proud mom when she breaks out. But look at her how she gets back to her character after that break out scene.

[@peejaydemira]

Lea is exceptional 😂😂😂

[@MWong2005]

Lea didn’t detract from the moment. She’s celebrating Rachel’s moment and Should be allowed because we all know she’s a professional without fail! You can’t criticize that exuberance!

[@labellavita12]

Lea will always be my favorite Kim. She raised the standard so high. She's flawless.

[@melissashaffer3957]

Exactly! It's so strange to see her as an adult since I still have her in "my mind" as the original Kim and with Michael Ball in Les Mis as Eponine. I actually didn't know that was her as Fantine in the. 2010 concert! By the way, fabulous diction. and phrasing. by Go on the word "true!" I too would love to see. your reaction. to Rachelle Ann Go's "Burn" as Duff Orate mentioned.

[@Dan-gi6tf]

Melissa Shaffer I think you’re a big fan of Lea, I keep on seeing your comments everywhere lol

[@ejoecpa]

No doubt about it. Lea Salonga is awesome.

[@manekpardiwalla8259]

Spot on !

[@manekpardiwalla8259]

Just like Kim, Lea raised the Eponine bar so high…..i think the others can only try and catch up. She and Michael Ball 👌

[@Locutus.Borg.]

_"Lea mixes it like nobody else can... it might not be outdone by anyone. That rendition is just so perfect!"_ I absolutely agree with both of those statements. Lea is an absolute treasure and both Lea and Rachelle Ann were magnificent in this performance.

[@manekpardiwalla8259]

So true ! So true !

[@heathersherrell5189]

@@MarcDanielPatrick it's definitely a compliment!

[@athenstar10]

I love how Lea reacted when Rachel is belting out that high note... just like one proud mama. This is the kind of approval a Filipino singer would love to have .... approval from "The Goddess". There are other great singers in the country, but we all know in the Philippines, Lea is the hardest to please. Not that she's a b**** but you just have to be perfect.

[@manfromrome7710]

She's actually not very hard to please..If you have watched The Voice Ph, you would know what I mean..Lea gets really excited even with average contestants..That's why she is one of my least favorite coaches in the show..The other three have higher standards and are much more difficult to please compared to Lea..Lea Salonga being easy to please is still a mystery I cannot fathom until today..I mean, she is practically a singing goddess..But her standards are quite low as seen in the show..

[@athenstar10]

@@manfromrome7710 She's a stage actress so exaggerated reaction is normal for them. She hears potential and excited what she can do to a talent and she's more than qualified to train... She also knows how sensitive Filipinos can be. If she appreciates talent, she's accused of being OA. If she'll be strict, she'll be called a B**** or a Diva, san sya lulugar? Let's be honest, when did we ever hear her sing off key? And being Kim is one of the toughest lead roles in Musical theater, I'm not sure if other famous pinoy singers can handle it. Don't quote me on this, even vocal coaches say that.

[@manfromrome7710]

@@athenstar10 I never once questioned her singing talent and capacity to coach..I just disagree with what you said that she, being a singing "goddess", is hard to impress..That is simply untrue..As I have said, she is the easiest to impress among the coaches in the VoicePH..And your response now proves that what I said was right..And please do not use her being a stage actress as an excuse for her being OA..It has nothing to do with it or is not entirely true..I mean, look at other stage actors..They do not act OA like Lea does..The problem with Lea is, she is OA..Her world revolves around the stage so much so that she cannot even be decent when she crosses over to movies and tv shows..You can tell that she is acting..it is soooo unnatural..Her acting is always off whenever she does movies or tv series..I do believe she is amazing on stage..But there are many stage actors who can also be great even outside stage productions..

[@manfromrome7710]

@@athenstar10 Her acting outside stage plays and musicals are consistently cringe-worthy..btw, let me point this out, Lea can still be honest and and not come off as a DIVA..My issue with her as a coach is that she is very generous with praises and OA reactions of excessive amazement that she gives these even to basic singers..Unless she means every compliment she gives, she should tone it down 'cause her status as an artist and her easy to impress nature do not match..she comes off as plastic tuloy..when I found out na isa siya sa coaches, I thought to myself na she would be the best one..She has the experience and the know-how..But she, little by little, lost her credibility as a coach (not as an artists, of course) when she would often turn for average singers and praise the above-average ones as if they were the greatest bunch of singers alive today..Jusko..marami nga sa mga pinuri niya nang sobra2x ay wala na ngayon..one would think that if you are able to have somebody as accomplished and knowledgeable as Lea Salonga very excited with your singing talent, then you would be likely to have a career ahead of you..I mean, crazy impressed na nga sayo ang isa sa legends sa Philippine music, ano pa kaya ang mga hamak na music producers lang..yang goddes na si Lea nakuha mo na ang attention..pero marerealize mo din eventually not to fall for Lea's hyped reactions kasi marami naman pala kayong binigyan niya ng ganong papuri at reaction..so you are still nothing special, in spite of having Lea's jaw dropped and eyes wide open with your singing..kasi ganun lang talaga si Lea..apakadaling maimpress kahit siya mismo nuknukan ng galing..

[@user-cc4im6wk6o]

@@manfromrome7710 Huh..... ok?

[@dzel70]

Regarding Lea breaking character: to be fair, this wasn't a concert production of the full show. It was part of MISS SAIGON's 25th Anniversary gala, which featured select songs by original cast members as part of the finale AFTER the actual performance. Rachelle had already sung "Movie in My Mind" in the show that night, without a riff in that part of the song, because it's never sung with one, and that's why Lea and the audience reacted so strongly. Lea wasn't breaking character, because, although she was clearly expressing strong emotion, she wasn't playing Kim; she was Lea Salonga singing the song.

[@manfromrome7710]

Agree..She is not even dressed as Kim..

[@breviceps]

The gala performance allowed them to have their comedic/break character moments. The same thing happened with Eva, Alistair, Lea and Simon were singing together. It's the same when Jon Jon and Jonathan sang The American Dream. As Lea said... they were all ready to drink and have fun!

[@fulviozottola5012]

Lea Salonga was just one of the Surprise guests at the 25th anniversary performance of Miss Saigon, along with Jonathan Pryce, who, played the Original Engineer. This was a post - performance show, that took place at the Prince Edward Theatre, London 4 years ago.

[@josephmontalba]

The reviewer did say that. He said that it was a concert setting, so he is giving Leah a “pass.” But I agree with him. As a viewer, you will feel the song more if the singers don’t break character. She can do the applause after the song. But she’s Leah. She’ll get a “pass” anytime.😀

[@dzel70]

@@josephmontalba It's Lea, not Leah.

[@TimoBrown79]

Rachel has one AMAZING voice, but Lea just has this phenomenal voice. It brings grown men to tears. I mean it honestly leaves me speechless when I listen to her. How on Earth can someone sing like this? She knows exactly how to use her instrument. The audience was in awe of her. ❤️

[@RabidTribble]

Just an opinion, but spontaneous moments like Lea's break are what make concerts so unique and interesting. We all know Lea would never break character in a theatrical performance, so her surprise and delight at that moment just made the performance that much more honest and memorable. I'm glad you didn't climb on her back too much about it. ;-)

[@archelle18]

I love that Lea broke her character in response to Rachelle Ann's powerful riff and the audience went crazy!!!🤣🥰

[@ednavicente4424]

Yap. And Leah I think was the who encourage Rachel to audition in miss Saigon and lucky Rachel got the role of Gigi.

[@tamiw.166]

And Lea had the opportunity to one-up Rachelle's riff, but stayed the written course. How generous, and supportive they both are. What a moment.

[@jennylynosorio556]

That Leah Salonga is such an icon! How she handled that mixed belted notes! Just incredible considering her age right now! Such a gem! A pillar in Musical Theatre industry! ❤️

[@maxr8586]

Lea breaking character was the best part of this whole video soooo

[@Cons2911]

I actually agree

[@barbiedoll227]

Admit it Rachelle has a very wide range! 💯✔ amazing

[@EVOKIN]

Rachelle is the best GiGi. My kids and I saw her on Broadway singing this song, absolutely amazing.

[@manekpardiwalla8259]

True but I also think the original Gigi with Lea, Isay Alvares was superb too. So for me its Rachelle and Isay.

[@unaminhkavanagh]

Lea's reaction was actually perfect tbh in this context as she's celebrating Rachelle in a more relaxed setting after the show than a broadway performance. I felt her pride and her joy for Rachelle. Obviously, she's a veteran professional so I think it's pretty obvious she wouldn't break in a normal setting.

[@wej5541]

Not entirely a concert setting, this was post show to a performance of the London revival of Miss Saigon which is available on video. Jonathan Price also performed The American Dream in this encore.

[@robertofont1878]

Thank you! Saw Miss Saigon twice in NYC with different casts. It still brings me to tears even though I know what’s coming.

[@christdonapuntar7549]

[@davesmith5470]

I think you were welling up back there Mr Patrick! My favourite show by a mile, must have seen it a dozen times and it gets more emotional every time, I all but break down during "I'll Give My Life for You".

[@yeracontra]

They’re singing with their match, they push each to making each other better. Perfect.

[@valeriepain9973]

Was lucky enough to see Rachelle as Gigi twice - she really made that small part special - but for me she was even better when she played Fantine. The only time 'I dreamed a dream' has ever given me goosebumps (and I've seen that show a lot!)

Agree with you sir. Two singers at the top of their game. This was a magical moment and wont be outdone. To me this wins the “Duet of the Decade” award.

[@fl-g15ramirezscullylou87]

Their singing ability is very explosive. They're so good at controlling their voice, but strong power at the same time. And, they can define a real singer who can give you the lyrics or can make you believe in every song they're going to sing. They also knew how to transmit their emotions to people. And, I think... they are born to burn the stage. Yeah! No doubt that Rachelle Ann Go is an International-National singer. And, ofcourse Ms.Lea Salonga is no doubt, a WORLWIDE singer, because she is definitely, obviously, precisely, undoubtedly and undeniably PITCH PERFECT! P.S. They're both a precious gem of the PHILIPPINES!!!

[@shaVthree]

I was actually there at the Prince Edward Theatre for this 25th anniversary performance 🎭 it was so beautiful... they both were incredible performers. Definitely worth queuing in front of the theatre from 5am to get the day seat tickets!

[@agmtek]

In the context of where this performance was filmed, at the 25th anniversary gala in the West End immediately following the full production, Lea breaking character is not a problem and perfectly appropriate. This segment ran for about 25 mins and incorporated Lea alongside Simon Bowman (the original Chris), Jonathan Pryce (the original Engineer) and other original cast members alongside the 25th anniversary cast. So in the context of the night Lea was entirely justified. The full version is on the bluray release.

[@annacairns]

Exactly. Simon is brilliant too.

[@salvadoroars]

Everyone was clapping, cheering too. The whole segment was the celebration itself. They even have the producers ride the car 😂 also jonathan pryce's performance was what i enjoyed most

[@acoz9641]

Seeing Marc tear up makes me feel the song 1000000000x more.

[@serenader210]

great reaction😊 There's a Pop like version of this song sang by Rachelle Ann Go and Eva Noblezada and it feels like a James Bond theme song. both artists nailed it as well 😊

[@analette4496]

Lea was the big surprise for the 25th anniversary. I don't know if you could find it online but the post musical celebration started with the lights dimmed, Lea wearing a conical hat while the overture was playing. The audience had no idea it was her. The lights came on and she lifted her head and removed the hat to show her face and the audience just went crazy. The standing ovation lasted for at least 3 minutes, I reckon.

[@Rosannasfriend]

This was such a great reaction. Thank you for finally doing it! Your comments were bang on.

[@romygarcia2041]

So proud. Both are Filipinos !

[@annmaejopia5590]

I suggest you try to react to their duet of "I Know Him So Well". I personally thought it was INCREDIBLE.

[@madisonb938]

Ahhhh yes!! I love Miss Saigon so much and this song just leaves me breathless every time!!! It's definitely up there in my top three favorite musicals, along with Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables !!

[@Rosannasfriend]

Oh I didn’t know you reacted to this finally last night! I intentionally avoided reaction videos. I’ll check this out now.

[@donnadv6350]

So strongly delivered by Rachel on the high part of her song. It blew me away!

[@kingofmeereen]

I think it’s fine that she smiled and cheered her on. This was performed AFTER the actual musical, so people aren’t really listening to still be in the story. You said there’s plenty of time celebrating after? This is technically them celebrating the roughly 2 and a half hour performance that came before. Lea’s been drinking for heaven’s sake.

[@annacairns]

Agree whole heartedly. I have the DVD. This is definitely after the show.

[@s.j.johnson1961]

What a privilege to see this! These women are incredibly talented.

[@missanthropocene2020]

I love your videos!! Thank you!

[@syneresis]

Iirc Lea Salonga mentored Rachelle Ann Go for her musical stint. She (Rachelle) was quite a pop singer before all of her works in broadway. She used to enunciate words differently.

[@Rae8Anne]

Right, and I took Lea breaking as her way of showing her immense pride in Rachelle. I thought it was a really sweet, supportive moment.

[@dantebuendiajr9804]

Thank you so much for making this reaction video!!!

[@StoptheInsanityofRegressivism]

One of the things I love about Lea ( apart from her incredible vocal talent and her excellent acting) is her genuine appreciation for her fellow artists and her generosity with her enthusiasm for their performances. She is not selfish or an obnoxious narcissistic diva, though she has earned the right to be. She celebrates the great work of her fellow artists ( mentee or not) and she has no reservations in making sure she gives support, encouragement, and appreciation to others. The moment she breaks character here is a JOY to watch because it was real, genuine, honest, and she was reacting to the very same thing we all were ... an incredible vocal moment that deserved to be relished. Because it was not being performed in the show and was a concert version , as you point out, makes that moment a wonderful kind of bonding moment for everyone watching this either live or the recording. The kind of generosity shown by Lea is refreshing and makes me love her all the more.

[@davidbangtson3109]

What a wonderful performance! Only wish I had had the chance to see it in the theater.

[@danieldubek5238]

I saw the original Broadway Cast of Miss Saigon and was blown away. I noticed over the years that they changed the song lyrics quite a bit. Then I saw the revival of Miss Saigon and it was changed a lot. Loved both !!

I've been waiting for this reaction! And it's worth the wait, great reaction as always from someone who genuinely knows what he's talking about. You should also react to Lea Salonga's performance on her first solo UK tour live at the London Palladium where she performed a mashup of I Dreamed a Dream and On my Own, This is Me from the Greatest Showman and the Greatest Love of All which was also her audition piece for Miss Saigon. Thanks and God bless!😇

Thank you so much for the support Marlon. Means a lot.

[@capullete1]

For your information, both of them were the original part singers in Miss Saigon which they were performing in this video. The reason Lea smile when Racheal hit the high note was because Lea was so proud of her and the best part was she can always immediately back to her chapter so well without any interruption.

I never felt anything like that before, the chill going through the audience! Standing o!

[@denisebaez5011]

My favorite part of this performance is the bond between "Kim" and "Gigi." When I teach this show in my college classroom, it makes me crazy that some of my students don't understand that Chris's contention that "Kim is not a whore" is proven to be complete nonsense by this song. There is no difference between Kim and the other "performers" at Dreamland other than Kim is "lucky" enough to have her first customer convince himself that he's in love with HER instead of the chance she represents to redeem himself in his own eyes. Her resulting delusion protects her from the more realistic pessimism of the others, but they all have the same heart and the same dreams. They are all whores and they are all wonderful women who made the best choices available to them in the circumstances they lived in.

[@paypay253]

[@jundelacruz]

This is the first reaction on Lea and Rachelle's Movie in my Mind I watched. Thank you for appreciating their incredible voices and being genuine with your reactions. I agree that one has to learn or at least know the lyrics of the songs, otherwise they will be lost, missed out on the meaning and what the message these songs convey.

And the writing - don't forget the brilliant music and lyrics! ♥That was the kind of unique moment you can have in a concert vs show performance. Lea didn't expect it, either, and she loved it. And since it was a concert moment, she could "break character" and we love her for it. You know Rachelle would not have taken off like that in the show, she's too much of a professional, and so we get this unique, amazing moment. And the audience - and we - will never forget this experience.
