Lea's pronunciation is clearer than my future

Everyone says, "Oh she was just born so talented!" and as talented as she is, you cant forget she worked hard for this beautiful voice and it didnt happen in one day!

Singing is like speaking to her. It's almost like it's completely normal for her and without any effort while the rest of humanity struggles to sing. She so extraordinary. She's just born to do it. Pure talent, pure brilliant, so legendary.

And when she performed this, she didn't have her own child yet. Yet she captured the love and emotion of a mother so perfectly. She said in an interview that had she been a mom before she was cast in this show, she would have captured it even more. It's hard to imagine how she would outdo her own superb performance.

Saw her at the mall last month...was too shy to approach her. Didn't want to bother her. But man...I learned how to sing thanks to her.

when the young boy don't care even Lea is shouting and singing loud he keeps on writing 😂😂

i've always thought lea salonga's voice was like... rubber. it stretches to every note and sounds completely effortless and powerful no matter what. complete control.

For me, Lea Salonga is the only celebrity who has the right to raise an eyebrow on anybody. Sns

Imagine having to be that kid, and trying to draw while Princess Jasmine scream-sings about how she'd die for you.

She is all time phenomenal. No one in this current generation can beat and surpass her.

This song is so powerful that it makes me wanna hug my child. I dont even have a child 😂

Lea's voice ... is ... the best female voice on the planet. IMHO.

I swear, even my goosebumps have goosebumps. It's not just her incredible voice, but the emotion - the pain and the love and the passion - in and behind every single word and every single note. Amazing.

Filipinos tend to have a very soft American accent too, we can notice that when she sings some things. She's amazing.

Lea Salonga the original and one of the most beautiful Kims.

This song makes me think about how my mother felt when she gave up all she knew in the Philippines to come to the US with my American father to start a new life and to give me all the advantages she didn't have. :'(

Maybe they should release the dvd of Miss Saigon with the original cast on it.

This gives me chills...being abandoned at birth and put up for adoption myself, it’s particularly emotion, touching, yet painful for me. The entire musical was brilliant, but it still haunts me all these years later though I was adopted at 9 months by the best parents on earth, my biological mother, who I finally met in 2001 (I’m 49) is so full of regret, and sorrow over her leaving me to die.....a part of me hates her for almost killing me, even though she gave me life...do you know how it feels to be thrown away like trash?

“Sometimes I wake up, reaching for him I feel his shadow brush my head, But there’s just moonlight on my bed.” whew the sorrow in that line! I felt that 😭😭❤️

She sings the truth of what happened there from what I've read. Her passion is unbeliebly heart felt, meaning everytime I hear her sing I become her and can feel the outrage she feels. It's a very worthy situation to care about. All kids matter.

I just found this video by accident. I remember seeing her in London in MISS SAIGON a "few" years ago in my youth.. She has such a great voice.

Can we also talk about the amazing orchestra in this?

Ok but the child actor not bursting into tears just listening to lea salonga sing is really a talent.

No one can ever come close to Lea Salonga in Miss Saigon and I have seen it 25 times with many a cast...yes, I am addicted!!!! Glad I am old enough to have seen her on Broadway when I had not much money then.

the thumbnail tho

Miss Saigon musical was made and created for Lea Salonga only not even these recent revivals!

Been in America for 41 years and haven't seen my parents for 40 years...cherish mom and dad....respect them to the fullest....you are a privileged few to have your parents next to you..

It is Really her Diction and Accent that makes her the Best! Filipinos can hit high notes. But few could sing as if they are just talking like a Disney Princess. Disney is Cute and she projects that in her voice. I always sing this when I carry a baby and they all grew up to be singers.

This song makes me want to fight and prepare a better life for my children and I'm 13 and don't even have kids

Many have followed the footsteps of Lea Salonga for the role of Kim & did the role justice. But Lea is just something else..and her voice is just spectacular! Plus the emotion she put in that performance. She will always be the best Kim..

Love the use of strings throughout the show.

A tour de force performance. Such varied emotions reflected on Lea's face and eyes, aside from the great and expressive voice.

The original Miss Saigon is the best thats Lea Salonga won all awards grand slam in a broadway theater actress she won all the prestigious awards when they staged first in London, UK which is the Sir Olivier Awards and the Tony Awards in New York, USA for the role of Kim as Miss Saigon and the only Asian won that awards. Lea Salonga is Philippines pride and Asia's pride 👏👍👌😍❤

We need a version of Fantine singing this for Cosette.

Still the definitive Kim and still the one to beat. Just brilliant how her voice gets better with age.

And THAT is how you go into intermission, folks.

the original miss saigon !!! bravo the best

I saw Miss Saigon in Chicago in 1992, and my son just happened to be 3 then. I sobbed like a fool through the whole song. I’ve never had anything in any show affect me like that.

Who's crying while watching this? I felt her emotions though I don't have child yet.

ive just watched Eva Noblezada version of this and its really amazing but still Lea's version is still untouchable... damn i have goosebumps throughout this performance. hands down to you miss Lea Salonga.

In the Philippines, no one sings like Lea Salonga. No one can.

This is my absolute favourite Miss Saigon version ever! I wish it would be released as a DVD...

I saw Miss Saigon in West End with the original cast in 1990. I was very close to the stage, about 5 rows back. But seeing these video clips, I think the Manila production is better.

I love Lea. She's the only queen of Miss Saigon. She was born for Miss Saigon.

This song is a BIG foreshadowing for the ending. Bye, I'm crying again.

I was lucky enough to see Lea Salonga in the original Miss Saigon and more recently I saw her perform some of the songs from the show. Her voice is still flawless and she is still mesmerising!!

My god, the way she goes from looking lovingly at her son, to looking away determined, and then to hear that ominous music, ugh.....it's the most powerful thing I've ever seen on stage.

i just can not put into words how amazed i was with ms leah salonga. how i wish i can see her perform.

I've watched this many times, but it still gives me goosebumps!

What a gut-wrenching, powerful play and this scene and song is heartbreaking. The climax completely destroys me.

Lea Salonga is awesome! She is the Maria Callas of musicals:-)

I just gave birth to my son 8 months ago and this is how I feel everyday about him. I have never loved so fiercely and I would give my life to protect him.

it’s september 2020, the first time i have watched this

Her delivery is much simpler than he versions today but very iconic. Her emotions is so good

I crying. I’m crying. That desperate love to give everything for her child, and the power of her voice moves you to fully understand the character she is portraying.

She's a musical genius.

Lea is indeed an artist!!!..an actor, a singer, a wonderful and superb celebrity!

I can't watch this whole video without breaking down. It gets too personal.

You who I cradled in my arms You, asking as little as you can Little snip of a little man I know I'd give my life for you You didn't ask me to be born You, why should you learn of war or pain? To make sure you're not hurt again I swear I'll give my life for you I've tasted love beyond all fear And you should know it's love That brought you here And in one perfect night When the stars burned like new I knew what I must do I'll give you a million things I'll never own I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown You will be who you want to be You can choose whatever heaven grants As long as you can have your chance I swear I'll give my life for you Sometimes I wake up Reaching for him I feel his shadow brush my head But there's just moonlight on my bed Was he a ghost, was he a lie? That made my body laugh and cry? Then by my side the proof I see His little one, gods of the sun Bring him to me! You will be who you want to be You, can choose whatever heaven grants As long as you can have your chance I swear I'll give my life for you No one can stop what I must do I swear I'll give my life for you! No grace, no hope No life, no hope No chance, no change (no regrets) No grace, no hope (no return, no goodbye) No life, no hope (no regrets, no return) No chance, no change (no goodbye, no regrets) One day (no return) one night (no goodbye) One day (no regrets) one night (no return) One day (no goodbye) one night (no regrets) One day!

this song itself makes me want to be pregnant and have a child. AND I HAVE NEVER WANTED KIDS BEFORE. WILL CHASE’S VOICE IS GONNA GET ME PREGNANT AND LEA’S VOICE IS GONNA MAKE ME THE BEST MOM IN THE WORLD

I always rewatch this and it never fails to amaze me. I can watch this forever. This is my favorite performance ever, I mean the emotions, the vocals, the acting, the technique and everything is just perfectly done! I've always been a fan of Ms. Lea, and I'll always will. I'm still young but I admire her a lot. She's my role model.

Still the best version. Lea is. Amazing. The expression, emotion... not only her diction and voice, I can just feel her.absolutely amazing.

This is the best performance of this song. Her face and conviction while singing her last lines does it for me. ❤️

Her voice is richer than her circumstance

Everytime she open her mouth and sing the line "God of the sun, bring him to me" GUSSHHH i just love it and I could feel the emotion.

This song reminds me how much i lived to continue fighting for my daughter as a single mother! Being a mother is immerse please no one forget how much we do for you, dont ever forget about us! beautiful!!!

Her voice always gives me chills. This and a really well performed Bui Doi.

Wow so amazing . Lea solonga has such talent. I would kill to get the whole production on DVD. Does anyone know where to buy this ?

I could listen to Lea all day

outstanding, I wish I was able to see her performance.

No matter how many times I watch Lea sing, she still gives me goosebumps 😵😵 who's watching this in 2018? 🙋

Just watched her concert live... breathtaking. She said she understood how Kim felt more now that she had a daughter of her own, and delivered an amazing performance.

I can not not cry even after hearing this song 100x. Every lyric and melody punches me in the gut. Especially after having a boy of my own. I would do the same for my baby. Id do anything to give Him the best life. I just can’t. This song. Tears me apart.

2019 anyone?

I can listen to this song all day long without a problem and love every minute of it, but when i watch the clip and see her facial expression it kills me, i get choked up and teary eyed.

I'm glad to watch this wonderful Miss Saigon... finally Home in Manila. Superb performance.

Lea is amazing. I... I cannot express how amazing she is. Thank you for uploading this

Sings with such passion!

To think that she wasn't even a mother yet when she performed this. She's beyond amazing.

One of the most magical power of a singer is being able to feel the emotions of a song without actually experiencing it .

I get chills every. single. time.

There's just something about a non English speaking actress playing Kim that gives it a far superior level of understanding. Lea may not have known what it was to be a mother but she had a far superior understanding than any American actress that has ever played the role. At 18, She knew exactly what Asian parents gave up to have their kids live an American life.

she is forever an enigma of beautiful voice. she can't be surpassed.

Powerful voice , i like her performance. yun lang kahit pop songs ay nadadala pa rin ang pagiging broadway.

There is not one time, where I’ve listened to this and not bawled my eyes out

Incredibly magnificent voice and performance. The world is a better place with a voice like this! Bravo!

I always love her singing in Mulan and Aladdin she was amazing singer

goosebumps goosebumps. I love you Ms. Lea. ✋👏👏👏👍👍

OMG ur sooo good Lea Salonga , the pride of the Philippines ! ❤️❤️❤️

I just realized, she literally gave her life for him at the end.

They need to put a complete series of videos from the live stage musical like this one into a DVD.

I’ve watched this more times than I’d like to admit

A wonderful voice with so much passion too. Bravo Lea.

She has mastered emotion using her voice.

Had watched this and it made me cry a river...silently. The best portrayal of the character.

I can't stop crying while listening to Lea Salonga. She's simply amazing.

Miss Saigon was the first musical I ever saw performed live. I was only 10 years old but 27 years later I still remember every single moment and every single song. It has touched my heart so deeply. I have seen many musicals over the years but Miss Saigon, and Lea, will always have a special place in my heart.

so beautiful ! what a gift to the world. lea salonga from the Philippines!

I cried watching this. There's so much feels how Leah interpreted the song. Amazing... Bravo! Best actress...

GOOSEBUMPS! Literally listening to this while looking at my 1 month old son sleeping. I cry 😭
