Her own technique. Unique and beautiful.

[@keith6868]

1:57 the little "fry" she puts on her voice for the "I" is yummy. Shan Ako gives a brilliant performance here. Beautiful tone to her voice ♥

[@agfoster100]

She takes the song and makes it all her own and takes it to another dimension - brilliant

[@neilcare5173]

The best rendition of this song I have ever heard...

[@athenagriego4561]

I felt it! I love how she didn't over sing, and she stuck with telling the story.

[@mtbottle1]

Too much of a ‘pop’ interpretation…😢

[@CandleLight1974]

@@mtbottle1 No. Just a well sung, well acted and generally well performed interpretation.

[@mtbottle1]

@@CandleLight1974 No. just a performance that’s really not my taste. She can hold a tune but I’m surprised she was allowed to give such a modern interpretation.

[@CandleLight1974]

@@mtbottle1 A taste that you are free to express and opinion that you are free to state but that is all that they are. However, you are surprised that in 2019, she was "allowed" to give such a "modern" interpretation? Seriously? What next? Are you surprised that a black girl was "allowed" to play the role? Whichever way you choose to describe it, this rendition kicks all others into touch. Everything about it. The quality of her vocals, her emoting through them and her acting. Lea Salonga with her staring into the distance, no emotion and hitting notes by numbers with no inflexion would not have got a look-in and even the beautiful triple threat that is Samantha Barks would have struggled.

Extraordinary impact. I've never been moved by this song until hearing this.

[@jotjotzzz5357]

This is very good. Even as a Lea Salonga fan this can stand on its own. I’m a fan of Shan Ako now too! She’s so good!!!

[@linhiril664]

She knocked that out of the park. Never heard that song done better.

On my own Pretending he's beside me All alone I walk with him 'til morning Without him I feel his arms around me And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me In the rain, the pavement shines like silver All the lights are misty in the river In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight And all I see is him and me forever and forever And I know it's only in my mind That I'm talking to myself and not to him And although I know that he is blind Still I say, there's a way for us I love him But when the night is over He is gone The river's just a river Without him The world around me changes The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers I love him But every day I'm learning All my life I've only been pretending Without me His world will go on turning A world that's full of happiness That I have never known I love him I love him I love him But only on my own

[@user-yn9vv7qd3n]

And now I'm all alone again nowhere to go No one to turn to Without a home, without a friend Without a face so say hello to And now the night is near Now I can make believe he's here Sometimes I walk alone at night When everybody else is sleeping I think of him and then I'm happy With the company I'm keeping The city goes to bed And I can live inside my head Lucky Daye 'That’s You' (Live Performance) | Genius Open Mic Lucky Daye 'That’s You' (Live Performance) | Genius Open Mic On my own, pretending he's beside me All alone, I walk with him 'til morning Without him, I feel his arms around me And when I lose my way I close my eyes And he has found me In the rain, the pavement shines like silver All the lights are misty in the river In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight And all I see is him and me forever And forever And I know it's only in my mind That I'm talking to myself and not to him And although I know that he is blind Still I say, there's a way for us I love him, but when the night is over He is gone, the river's just a river Without him, the world around me changes The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers I love him, but every day I'm learning All my life, I've only been pretending Without me, his world would go on turning A world that's full of happiness That I have never known! I love him... I love him... I love him... But only on my own

感情豊かに歌い上げる彼女のエポニーヌが大好き。DVDで見て衝撃を受けて何度もこのシーンを繰り返し見た。名前も調べた。エポニーヌの今までのイメージとは違っていたけど、彼女も間違いなく最高のエポニーヌ。

[@CandleLight1974]

Can any of the innumerable performances of this song and takes on Eponine so far superior to that of "just shout and stare" Lea Salonga be spared the wrath of her clueless fans?

[@nicholasiyer3008]

can you translate or re-iterate your comment to English?

[@provoschoolbus]

Who is she? I can’t get this out of my head and I love that.

[@malcolmjohnston7873]

Fantastic voice.

[@RandomLuminosity]

she has a beautiful voice. That said, that was the most Meh performance of Eponine I have ever seen. There was not one point where I felt anything from it. Im not saying it was terrible, Im just saying that it brought absolutely no emotional response. Like I said, she has a beautiful voice but this just isnt her role.

[@leahmanning2098]

I think she needs that kinda excited spark Eponine has, like the little but of life to it

[@MargaritaTsoukarelasOfficial]

I agree! Lea Shalonga is the best Eponime for me! I am so looking forward to play Eponime soon! So happy that I got the role of my dreams! ❤

[@michaelemery8957]

I was thinking the exact opposite.

[@traceyneuville6834]

I think she is fantastic in the role. Who voice is stunningly beautiful and her expressions are subtle be no less amazing.

[@CandleLight1974]

@@MargaritaTsoukarelasOfficial I love the Lea Salonga fans popping up as usual. Lea wouldn't get a look-in these days.

[@metasubversive6737]

I think of this song as being part of the musical, so it needs to retain the mode of the musical. The performance here has some of the American gospel flourishes that Whitney Houston used when she sang the Star Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl. That touch seems out of place here in this song, in the context of this musical. I think it brings too much of the individual performer into the performance, in place of the character she is singing as. It feels like graffiti sprayed on a work of art, where the graffitist has left his mark on someone else's work. This shows up, for example, at 0:51, in "beside," making it "besiyi-ide," at 1:21 in "silver," at 1:34 in "of," and in other places scattered throughout. It sounds like Whitney Houston and that school of singing, but that is not appropriate here. Gospel tends to break up long-held notes with certain characteristic flourishes like that. But this song should be sung with the long notes unadorned, because it's not gospel, and there's nothing in the musical that relates to American gospel.

Underwhelming. But still good
