Hi, Tara! Hope you can check and react to Lea Salonga and Rachelle Ann Go's duet of Movie in my Mind, please? ❤️

[@ritchierubio5426]

Tara: you truly make great and expert reactions to singers. I heard you one time comment on duets with same registered singers and made me wonder who can best have a duet with Lea. A 'concert from home' during the early parts of the pandemic showcased a Broadway medley between Lea Salonga and Regine Velasquez. Might you consider reviewing it (kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZq0hGOenNeIiM0)? Thanks for considering.

[@adlirez]

@Happines With less S nah, Lea didn’t really have mamba mentality. She was faced with the critical judgment of being a woman of color in general. Producers in Broadway wouldn’t accept her just for her being Asian, and the audience, because of the general bias for a white person rather than a person of color, would’ve picked her to death and declared her incapable of singing on the big stage if she made a single mistake. So Lea made sure to never make a single mistake. She made sure there would be purely no reason for them to say these things, no reason to say she’s not good, no reason to say that she’s not fit for the part. And the crazy thing is she wasn’t doing it to compete with others. She was doing it to survive and live her dream as a Broadway singer.

Besides all her vocal excellence, I noticed perfect breathing technique with NO gasping or unnecessary breath noise. She started each phrase with slow breath intake using the available time and then set her abs/diaphragm so as to start with no breath sound. This enabled her to carry over that last phrase with ease. You are right, Tara. It was as close to perfect as can be done! Thanks for your technical discernment and clear and concise analysis!

Hello Tara! I'm a highly trained lyric baritone.

But, I understand pure Bel Canto practical application in the real world, and how it applies to any kind of singing (except maybe rap), and frankly, you're one of the best at describing its techniques. Thank you for your expertise, and more, that you share it openly. It's a rare person who shares their knowledge. I do so recognize others who do. And one thing I've found is those who are truly gifted typically are the most eager to share. And I concur on the ending. Perfect presentation, consistency, and focus. Wow!

I use this performance as an example of great “acting of a song” when I teach. It’s so good to see her technical singing is just as masterful. Thank you 😊

[@MacNair]

And to add on to the “perfect ending” you mention with the singing, if you keep playing the clip (when the audience applauds forever and forever) she STAYS IN CHARACTER. Seeing actors drop their characters is one of the banes of my existence and when I teach or direct, I try to make it clear that they need to remain in character AT ALL TIMES. And Lea, beautifully, does just that at the end of this song.

[@alicekirkland1708]

To put it perfectly, she is a perfect performer. The acting, the diction, the wonderful clarity of her voice, and her eyes... Oh God, her eyes are expressive, the emotions are practically screaming in her eyes that she is the character herself. After all, one of my favorites in singing is where you sing with emotions. To sing with emotions you need to be connected to the song or to be the character itself.

perfect!

[@skoomamuch356]

seriously, this is a LEGIT Vocal Coach (this is my first time watching this vid btw)

[@groundgensanchez9666]

Lea Salonga is the best ever because her voice is purity, magical and crystal clear 🎇🎆

[@danieldelanoche2015]

Am I still in love with Lea Salonga after all these years? YES!

[@francisrenzo7766]

Watching Tara fan-girling over Lea for 12 minutes is literally the best thing I’ve watched in a while.

[@justsomeone7358]

Pure reaction. This episode is so true unlike others they tend to fake every reactions but this one is genuine.

[@nekohimeplays]

Lea as Eponine: "I love him..." Tara: "I love her!" 😂

[@mananapztime9597]

Leah is a living music, she embodied every perfect notes and tones..

[@johnokamoto6762]

Love watching you geek out! Lea is my favorite Eponine. No matter how many times I watch that performance I still cry!

[@kixbejo]

Lea is so consistent ever since. I'm so proud of her.

[@SincerelyGail]

I love how you’re geeking out over this! Best reaction to this Lea performance. I was born in the Philippines (now living in US) and she was (and is) my idol as soon as I learned how to speak and sing. I started singing because of her. I believe I still have her very first album in a cassette form when she was a child singer. She’s a rare gem.

[@bradleygro]

YES Lea is a legend and I'm so thrilled you're doing this. I saw her love in Wisconsin and her voice rings so beautifully when she sings! Please review Kyla Jade singing One Night Only from The Voice!

[@gregorynetoflow]

Please react to Shoshana Bean and Avery Wilson [saving all my love for you]

[@midnytblossom102]

I saw lea as fantine in broadway yeaaaars ago and let me tell you that started my love affair with broadway and everything musical. She is a dream.

[@crumblesilkskin]

Her: do this not this Me:I bearly hear the difference Makes me respect people who can distinguish between the difference so clearly without her pointing it out

[@DeborahAnnsuperversatile]

I only hear the difference because my former voice teacher when I was younger really emphasized it for me until I finally realized the slight difference.

[@josiealtamimi4055]

She's a living legend and one of the best singers in the Philippines

[@g-ed0818]

i am a lead guitarist but i was addicted with her angelic voice, she"s got the one of most angelic voice vibrato,, and i was addicted,,, she is amazing

[@daltonshaneburton]

Lea is my absolute favorite Eponine! I have a line from "A Little Fall of Rain" tattooed because of her.

[@purplelonghorn07]

I'm obsessed with her voice. It's actual perfection

[@jeremygonchakhailov]

BUT I THINK LEA DOESN’T NEED TO BE REACTED. SHE’S ALREADY A LEGEND.

[@drstranger7430]

Legends are no exemption to criticisms

[@clairufo]

CERTIFIED BASHER Wdy mean by that? She’s providing her reaction as an example to other singers/aspiring singers out there. Reaction doesn’t always have to be negative.smh 🙄

[@meeu]

she's just showing the standard she adheres to, and what all aspiring singers should abide by.

[@gremarjohn7933]

They became legends because of reactions.

[@meeu]

@@gremarjohn7933 Lea was already a legend even before the internet became a thing

[@dannysimion]

Watching you react to this song is very nice! You really love the technical aspects of this performance by Lea but you also know it on a personal level by how mom would listen to this while pregnant. :)

[@Tarasimonstudios]

Awwwwwww

[@barbydal6217]

It is really different when a vocal coaches react compare to ordinary people...because they can point out the technicalities and right techniques...not just what's good to the ear...at the same time we can learn out of it...Thank you for reacting for Ms.Lea...she is one of my favorite singer...I love her..I hope I can watch her live...

[@ServandoWatercolor]

the part i love is when Lea sang “the world around me changes........” with that vibrato...6:10 there’s something about how she did it that was beautiful

[@trevindukes296]

It sounds like she was mixing, it looked and sounded a lot more relaxed than the notes before it

[@sebastiancresencio1327]

TrevinDukes whenever she sing, she used her mixed

[@cherrydelossantos997]

She's one of my favorite singers. So clean and clear when singing. You can clearly listen to the lyrics and words. Dictions are perfect!

[@johnellis9494]

Love Les Mis and love listening to the various performers that do this song. This was one of the best I've heard. Clearly a pro with exquisite skills. Really enjoyed the reaction. Love when you geek out or go musical nerd. It's great. Keep up the good work.

[@mjw9310]

Love the chest vs. mix mini-quiz midway through. That type of thing helps me see if my ear is on point or not. 😊

[@ginolorenzo4117]

Tara Simon: an angel is singing Angels: Lea is singing

[@loulymn2931]

I love this comment here

[@marvenlevy]

Haha legit!
