Rachelle Ann Go & Lea Salonga - The Movie In My Mind - New Zealand Vocal Coach Reaction and Analysis

[@newyorkmyndd9801]

Did not really understand The wonder of Lea Salonga until recent reaction videos. Happy and sad about that because that is a lot of time off my radar. I consider myself a fan of Broadway, my kids grew up on Mulan and Aladdin, 😐 I am thankful that I get to discover all of these treasures of her art and beauty now. Thanks for posting this one!

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Hi David! Glad that you rediscovered her ;) She is wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@shaunaljurabrenica4870]

this vocal coah is legit and has a good observation skills . she can notice even the little details

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Thanks Shaun, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. ;) Sorry for the SUPER delayed response on my end. Have a great day!

[@exostempow3401]

True. I just commented in a channel where I said it pains me to watch those who claim they are "vocal coaches" but have never heard of Lea Salonga.

[@archelle18]

Rachelle Ann Go & Ms Lea Salonga Internationally recognized theatre performers!

[@josephmegrino5149]

Both are Filipino and are singing their hearts out to the world.

[@johnjosephsaul7036]

Rachelle Ann Go is a filipino singer. She is known for 1.) The Ultimate Champion 2.) The Fierce Songstress 3.) The International Broadway Star 4.) The International Theater Diva! I gave my 10 stars to Rachelle Ann Go! No doubt not just Philippines,London UK,USA and she still continue to do conquer the International Scenes. Keep it up Rachelle Ann Go! (Shin) 👏👏👏👏👏

[@RogueCylon]

They are both Filipinas. Lea the master, Rachelle the student. Eva Noblezada (American Filipina) is also worth catching.

[@adelb2065]

Rachelle Ann Go is from the Philippines as well. The latter part of her career, she’s been doing Broadway show, but she started out as a pop singer.

[@mario4301]

Great breakdown of this performance coach love it.....please react to Lea Salonga cover of Dont Cry for Me Argentina with full live orchestra.

[@meredithchandler73]

I have to say, I really love this reaction video. I've already watched it 4x! Rachelle Ann and Lea were allowed/encouraged to make it their own and not just be doing the song as it was in the show. (It's already different - the verses are split up differently and in the show all the bar girls sing in a couple of parts.) Lea mentioned somewhere (in print, I think) that she didn't sing her part as the character of Kim here: an innocent 17-year-old Vietnamese girl about to sell herself for the first time. This is the 25th anniversary of MISS SAIGON and Lea is 43 years old here. Yes, she does look amazing, but that's a bit of a stretch. However, the younger Lea clip that you use as a comparison of her vibrato is from the Manila production of MISS SAIGON in 2000 when she was 29 years old. There I think she is still passable for a teenager! Just a few recommendations for Lea reactions: --Lea with the US Military Academy Cadet Glee Club singing "Via Dolorosa" in 2004/2005. (The CD and DVD of the performance was released in 2005, but I'm not absolutely sure when it was recorded): kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGi7o6SOjbmWm68 --Lea rehearsing "Still Hurting" for her Back To Before concert at The Allen Room, Jazz at Lincoln Center in 2013: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roS8pY2IgquisMU --Lea singing "Burn" from HAMILTON. I believe this is from a concert in Sydney in 2017: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWe0gYiXjNl_m5I ---Lea and Regine Velasquez musical medley, April 2020 (the bubbles are there to avoid copyright issues): kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZq0hGOenNeIiM0. Just in case you aren't familiar with Regine Velasquez, she is called "Asia's Songbird" and considered Queen of the Belters in the Philippines. She is 10 months older than Lea (birthday April 1970) and has been working since the mid-80s. Most Filipino singers of the last 20-30 years consider Regine an inspiration (a la Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey). This collab was part of Regine's birthday fundraising concert. Lea recorded her part first and then Regine recorded hers after.

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach Lea Salonga - 50 years Born February 22, 1971. To say she's ageing gracefully would be incorrect, I don't think she's cooperating with the ageing process.

[@tomsawyer2k]

Atleast this coach knows what she is saying, legit vocal coach. :)

[@alphashanahan4323]

You have to make note of the fact that this was a celebration performance and therefore both Lea and Rachelle Ann sang the song with some freedom to sing some parts of it in a different way than it should have been sung during the play.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Completely agree!!

[@denzfrez1901]

In a play it is a mortal sin to stay away from your character, but this was a concert so Leah can't hold her delight for Rachel

[@seugenio100]

To the 7 dislikes, please add your comments so we know what you did not like about this performance.

[@tomasitoangsuta9318]

the dislike was more on the reaction i think, not the performance

[@joaniewwh3502]

i'm learning from you. thank you. ☺️ just a little more info, rachelle ann go is also a pop ballad power vocalist. lea, as you know, is really more on a theatrical singing. it's a balance of pop and theater on this one - as you've said, they were sharing their different styles of singing. it is beautiful. 💜

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach please don’t tell me you reacted to the live version in Berlin… it is like the devil for all the Maneskin fans… It was a shame for them as the sound technicals made a mess with everything and Damiano could barely hear his own voice.

[@elishajoselleheartatienza9384]

Please react to sarah geronimo performance , she's a total performer

[@RogueCylon]

This isn’t a theater performance, more just a show. You need to take into consideration the venue, and the reason they are together. But I like that you urged your audience to see these two live. I’ve been extremely privileged to see many shows live in London and New York, including an 18yr old Lea. At the end of the day, there are so many of these “vocal coach reviews Lea and….”, so many saying similar, or even critiquing Lea, who is simply a master. Again at least least you discuss eras and what’s you think is current versus 90s. I prefer late 80s and 90s shows, my first first ever shows, and I had no idea how lucky we were.

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

Wow that is amazing that you got to see her then. She is wonderful. I am aware of the situation all good. It isn't a critique, more of an analysis.

[@RogueCylon]

@@ZoeStibiVocalCoach I get that, you are helping folks that want to be great singers, versus the multitude of fans. Very few theatrical stars blow me away, Lea did. Normally the grind of daily shows prevents their best. They compromise the mix of vocals to be able to manage the load. I was so lucky to see Les Mis and Miss Saigon in the 80s and 90s, as they were on my doorstep. I also traveled to NYC for work, so it was always a case of planning to enjoy the trip. Now I live in NC, and see a show maybe twice a year, I’m sad for that, as all my memories are from 10+ years ago. In London I even helped a friend who did event management, and got paid as a extra for events. So when I wasn’t paying for great shows, I was seeing amazing events. Including working Pavarotti in the Park, working the VIP area.

[@labellavita12]

Lea is the original lead of that musical and she uses the original version of that song. Rachelle on the other hand started as a pop star. They were given the freedom to portray/sing that song their way. I hope you can react to her version the song Burn in her Uk concert wearing blue.

[@meredithchandler73]

This was part of the 25th anniversary gala that took place after a regular performance of MISS SAIGON. The women were allowed/encouraged to make it their own and not just be doing the song as it was in the show. While Lea sang it "straight" (no riffs or flourishes), she isn't singing it as the character of Kim here: an innocent 17-year-old Vietnamese girl about to sell herself for the first time. Plus, the verses are split up differently here and in the musical all the bar girls sing in the song, too. By the way, I'm almost positive the clip you used to show younger Lea was from the Manila production of MISS SAIGON in 2000 when she was 29 years old. Lea was 18 when she first played Kim on the West End (1989) but there is practically no difference in how she looks or sounds. The 25th anniversary gala was in 2014 when Lea was 43 years old. I believe Rachelle Ann is 28 here. Loving your Lea reactions. I really hope you'll do more! She has so many fabulous performances. I'll recommend just a few: --Lea with the US Military Academy Cadet Glee Club singing "Via Dolorosa" in 2004/2005. (The CD and DVD of the performance was released in 2005, but I'm not absolutely sure when it was recorded): kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGi7o6SOjbmWm68 --Lea rehearsing "Still Hurting" for her Back To Before concert at The Allen Room, Jazz at Lincoln Center in 2013: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roS8pY2IgquisMU --Lea singing "Burn" from HAMILTON.

[@alexlaqui9158]

Too technical, not taking into conaideration the emotion that the artist was trying to convey that's why the choice of chest mix, head mix and belt for a particular line of a song which sometimes needa to express vulnerability, that's why sometimes in tends to show in their voice, not because of wrong technique but more of expression, pharasing and emphasis on consonants and vowels...

[@ZoeStibiVocalCoach]

I never said "wrong technique". I am trying to explain how they are doing it.
