what i like about lea salonga is that when she sings the words are very clear. you can actually write the lyrics just by listening to it without confusion. not all singers can sing with this clarity.
@leluthor53575 жыл бұрын
Thats just the problem if you notice. Well for a fact that i am also a fan of her but she tends to be overbearing with her accents and/or diction most of the time thus makes you the audience focuses on that rather than her singing. Its like when performing shes more counting on her having that perpect pitch- pronounciation rather than her perfect pitch singing. To visualize it a simpler ways just look at how she does interviews and the like. It doesnt fall far from there - she talks as if the same way singing and you can hardly differentiate. I think lea is better for theatrical than in solo renditions. Anyway thats just my opinion and you cannot shoot me dead for that as you may your own.

The thing about Lea is that she is a very intelligent musician. She did not learn this craft by copying or mimicking, she learned it by studying it - the HARD way. She has been performing since she was a little kid and she has never stopped learning. That should always be case. Never stop being better than your former self, even if your former self is already very good.

***** Apples and oranges. BTW Musician - a person who plays a musical instrument, especially as a profession, or is musically talented. Also, according to Webster: a person who writes, sings, or plays music. Where did you find your very restrictive definition of the word "Musician"? Or were you just guessing or basing your entire comment on your prejudices?

+joey anthony your comment made me laughing out loud.. First define " musician" and come back here to retract your ignorant comment.. Let me define it for you to avoid any troubles on your part.. MUSICIAN is a person who makes music as a profession .. It did not say a person who is skilled in any musical instruments .. And I don't need to state the obvious that Lea is an accomplished musician a singer in every sense of the word..

This is the voice I've been looking for to sing this beautiful classic song. I used to play cello in Broadway shows in Seattle and some of the finest voices in the world came through in the shows. They were voices with high drama, beautiful tone and a wide variety of expression. Lea Salonga has all of that. She is a brilliant musician.

@@cellosong What was your overall impression of Fifth Ave. productions? We had season tickets there for number of years. I found the quality of casts rather sporadic. Last show I saw there was Man of LaMancha. I had seen the 1960s production with Richard Kiley. It still brings a lump to my throat when I remember it. Just an incredible piece of art. As you can imagine, I was very hyped to see it on stage again. From reviews I could tell it was not to be the classic adaptation of 50 years ago, but had a more modern take. From all said about it, I thought it would be interesting and showcase the actors well. There wasn’t a dependence on scenery in the original. Pretty bare bones. The voices were fantastic, the direction incredible. I invited a friend to go with me and make it a girls’ night out. The leads were awful. Don Quixote couldn’t hit a note if his life depended on it and Dulcinea made fingernails on a blackboard preferable. This performance summed it up for me. For paying top theater dollar in Seattle because I like good seats and have hit or miss productions made my decision to avoid the Fifth. Locally it always gets good reviews. What was your experience like there? Am I judging it too harshly? I realize they do a lot of “Let’s see how it plays in Seattle” new shows. When I see something that took home Tony after Tony in the past, I do want to be wowed though. Should I give them another go at it? Being a life long Democrat, I am a follower of the idea that if I see a problem, I should throw money at it. The arts need funding. Should I take the bad with the good, pay my money and take my seat, knowin by doing so, I am a matron of the arts? I think I am answering my own question. Give me your thoughts Pamela.

@@marymunro1142 I don't know what to say. It sounds like your assessment is pretty informed. I played shows back in the late 1970s and early 1980s - a different era. We had big name talent in the leads and an intact culture of Broadway show talent (actors, dancers and singers) in all positions. The on-stage talent and pit orchestra talent was consistently exemplary then.

@@nstix2009xitsn As far as I know there's no direct link between the song and any of Evita's actual speeches. They tended to be far more assertive in tone. Fiery condemnations of the oligarchy and impassioned expressions of support for the workers and their families. I think Salonga is aware of how the scene is supposed to be played on stage. More recent stagings have lessened it's grandeur. In the original staging the direction given to Elaine Paige by Hal Prince was to sing it as a political manifesto. That staging had a more aggressive, brutal feel than newer versions I've seen.

Beautiful! Her emotion is genuine when she sings. Madonna, Olivia Newton John, Karen Carpenter, Nicole Scherzinger, Patty Paige each have their own take on this song and all are beautiful. I think Olivia is the most sympathetic due to her soft and sweet voice. Nichole and Lea have the most drama due to their power. I first heard this with Madonna and was surprised at the quality of her voice. Paige is classic. I don't know which is "better", they are all great in their own special way.

The Paige you are referring to is Elaine Page, (not Patty, who was born in 1923) who was the first to sing and perform the role onstage (in London). She would have opened it in NY but was denied a work permit. Julie Covington did the original recorded version, which pre-dated the play. She declined the stage role, and thus it was given to Ms. Page, who was brilliant (and still is).

I think you got Patti LuPone mixed up with Elaine Paige.
@barrymiller995 жыл бұрын
No, Elaine Page first in London. Later, Patti LuPone in NY. And prior to both, a recorded version by Julie Covington, who turned down the stage version. I'm embarrassed that I know all this, haha.

My fellow lovers of music, I read with amusement all of the posts promoting one singer over another. In my opinion they are all wonderful performers gifting us with this glorious song Each one brings her own particular, special talent for our enjoyment. As for Lea Salonga, she is a world treasure who transcends any background and ethnicity. A private treasure for all hearing her perform. May she sing for us forever.

Perhaps she was channeling Filipino first lady Imelda Marcos, whose story is very similar to Evita's, e.g. former beauty pageant contestant meets an up and coming politician and helps him become president and is his greatest asset, then looted the country's treasury for her many shoes and other luxuries. In fact, when the 1980s TV movie EVITA PERON (starring Faye Dunaway) was screened in Manila (it was released in theaters there), they cut out the scene where Eva showed an American photographer her vast shoe collection.
