She literally put the Philippines on the world map in the performing arts of broadway musical via Miss Saigon in the nineties. She's one of the Philippines' Pride - a True National Artist. She's not just a broadway legend..but also a Disney legend..she's the singing voice of 2 Disney Princesses - Princess Jasmine of Aladdin and Mulan. She's still very active..doing some broadways and doin concerts abroad. Lea is also one of the coaches / mentors of The Voice of the Philippines for many years now. .

She is actually a Disney Princess, she's Mulan's and Jasmine's singing voice. And yes, she's a Filipino. ❤

Leah Salonga is a Tony Award winning Filipina actress. She is also the singing voice behind Disney's Mulan and Jasmine. She is married and has a daughter who also sings.

“Lay-a” is a legend. I laughed when you said, “Oh, we got a production! Oh, we got a production ! They’ve got money!” Yes, friend, they do!! Look up billionaire Cameron Mackintosh, the producer of the show. This is a very special production that you’re seeing....the 10th anniversary of Les Miserables starring the “dream cast” who were each hand-picked by the creators of the show. ETA: Check out the other performances from this 10th anniversary, like the beautiful duet with Michael Ball “A Little Fall of Rain;” Lea’s first Disney role as the singing voice for Jasmine in “A Whole New World” (the original recording w/ Brad Kane is cute); the video recording of her first major musical audition for “Miss Saigon” is special (as is anything from her first Tony-award winning performance as Kim); “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina;” “Memory;” and Lea as Fantine in the 25th anniversary of “Les Miserables” will show you Lea as a more mature, seasoned veteran.

She is FILIPINO 100% and she is 2 time DISNEY PRINCESS being the singing voice for Princess Jasmine in Aladdin and Mulan in Mulan. She is a Broadway and West End legend. 2 time Tony awardee.

Love Lea❣️ She's a legend here in the Philippines.

She won aTony & Olivier for this performances she is the first Filipino to do Broadway play & she is only 17 years old that time!

she's our forever queen!! she stands out in all her broadway plays

This was the 10th year anniversary of Les Mis. The cast in this concert was called the "Dream Cast in Concert" because Cameron Mackintosh hand-selected the cast. This was about 20 years ago I believe. I am quite happy that She's still getting recognition for that performance after 20 years. This is the performance that made me fall in love with broadway and musical theater in general

Look for Lea’s “Dont cry for me Argentina” and Les miz’s “I dreamed a dream”. Oh! Look for “reflection” she will give you the movie version as well as musical version if you prefer. And yes, she is that amazing. :) and also, look for her audition in miss saigon when she was only 17, you’d be amazed cause that’s how good she is. :)

Lea Salonga is incredibly amazing. I watched her perform in London in the 1990’s. 😄👍🏼👏🏼

She's both born for this and she trained hard for that exact performance. According to one of her interviews she was honored to be asked to do that role and to sing that song that's why she studied it thoroughly. It's why most professional singer think she sang the song perfectly.

she's the original singer for Disney princess Jasmin a whole new world & mulan reflections.. she's also the mane character from Miss Saigon Kim...

She’s a Filipina and she’s also one of the Judges in Voice in The Philippines

yep, never knew I was in love with her til now either. I Finally, Finally took the time to pay attention to this amazing beautiful voice and smile. So professional and perfect and also so gracious. I am enjoying discovering this treasure of her videos. ❤️🎶

I’ve seen that performance a million times and it still made me cry 😢

Lea is the first Asian Tony Awardee, Sir Laurence Olivier Awardee & Many International awards. She is the Disney Princess & also a Broadway Star. Thanks Yusaf & Merry Christmas. Pls. react to her version of Don't Cry for Me Argentina,

Her name is pronounced as: LE - as in LeBron (James) - YA SA-LONG - GA as in GAsoline, not JAsmine although she was the voice of Disney's Princess Jasmine singing with Alladin.

Filipino. First "Kim" of Miss Saigon (1989), won a Tony and Laurence Olivier for it. First Asian actress to play “Eponine” and “Fantine” in Les Mis on Broadway. Singing voice of Disney princesses “Jasmine” (Aladdin, 1992) and “Mulan” (1998).

She is Filipina, a coach in the Voice Philippines. React her "Disney Legend Lea Salonga"

Lea Salonga is a Broadway royalty and Philippines national treasure 👍

This is the 10th anniversary concert of Les Mis. She also sang during the 25th anniversary concert but as Fantine.

hehe yeah she's a two-time disney princess

The entire show is like a master class, every main character, to me. Watch it - 10 th Anniv. of Les Miserables '. one of the best 2 1/2 hrs you will spend on entertainment. And L.S , in a small role, dominates. She was, at 17 , the star of Miss Saigon, for instance. major that is super talent. And I think Les MIs was the # 1 Broadway play for like an entire decade. It is also a famous, thou very long book from early 1800's France. ps - there is a Utube vid of Her in a NYC bar, about 5 years ago, just totally casually singing.

and thats because she IS a Disney Princess. Twice over! She's Princess Jasmine AND Mulan. A legend of Broadway and Westend. And yes, she's Filipino.

She's also one of the coaches in The Voice Philippines (also kids and teens). Lea is theatre royalty and probably the most internationally awarded Filipino artist, she won a Tony and an Olivier, among others for originating the role of Kim in Miss Saigon in both the West End and Broadway. She's the first Asian to play the role of Eponine and Fantine in Les Miserablés. A Disney Legend for being the singing voice of Princess Jasmine in Alladin and Fa Mulan in Mulan I and II. The list just goes on and on and on...She's a national treasure of the Philippines.

Yes, she's the absolute Broadway and Disney princes, from the Philippines. She's got quite a few

she is a tony and olivier awardee from playing the first Kim of Miss Saigon

Someone's about to get addicted to Ms Salonga...

You need to react to Leah singing “I dreamed a dream” wow speechless

Lea Salonga - Dont Cry for me Argentina !!!

It's better late than never..Lea is one of the best and pride of the Filipinos. Thanks for featuring her in your channel..God bless 🙏🌹❤️

This is from the 10th Anniversary of Les Mis Production. All the performers are had picked performers. She was also in the 25th Anniversary production. But this is the best performance that I've seen.

She's Filipino, a stage musical royalty. She won the Grand Slam for her role in. Miss Saigon, meaning all the major awards, the TONY and LAWRENCE OLIVIER to name some. And you're right she's a Disney princess, she's the singing voice of Mulan and Princess Jasmine.(the original)

In case you’re wondering why the production is so grand, this footage is from the Les Misérables in Concert a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the play on West End. The DVD was released by Sony. Of course she sounds like a Disney princess, she’s Mulan and Jasmine.

The Tony Awards and the Laurence Awards for best actress in Miss Saigon and Les Miserables

Glad to see your back reacting to these performances!

On my own was her audition song when she audition for Miss Saigon. This is the 10th anniversary for Les Miserables.

Among the best Filipino artists

This is Princess Jasmine singing Eponine.

💚🎹🎶🎤🇵🇭... Beautiful. #LEASALONGA

Please react to Ms. Lea Salonga's "This is Me" version. 😍

She is the first asian to win a Tony Award and Olivier for Miss Saigon. She is the singing voice for Mulan and Aladdin. She is filipina!

Lea Salonga is a Filipina Artist. And she brilliant

Present time- you can react to her singing Let it Go of Frozen movie and everything else that she sang. Thank you for reacting to her.

Leah Salonga and Brad Kane -original singer of "A Whole New World" from the movie Aladdin .. Please react to her duet with Brad Kane 23 years ago singing "A Whole World" and reuniting after 23 years in the show "Good Morning America" singing the same song with Brad Kane .. That was epic

She won Grammy award for her this performance I think

yes! Lea Salonga is totally a filipina

Lea's diction is clearer than my future.👌

She's a broadway queen and Disney princess. L. Olivier and Tony awardee...

you remarked so many times that she's filipino, that if i wasn't filipino myself, i will totally be convinced! :D And she only got better with age. Check out her 2019 performances, she's awesome!

Just to add, she's not just a 2-time Disney Princess but she was also the very first and the original "Kim" in Miss Saigon. And what you watched there was actually from a production or a scene from Les Miserables. I would suggest lookinh up for the original videos of "Sun and Moon", "Last Noght of the World", "I Dreamed a Dream", and also "I Still"

Please react to her singing "I Dreamed a Dream" on the Les Misérables 25th anniversary concert or her "The Prayer" duet with Josh Groban.

Yes she's Filipino!

Lea sings to express, not to impress.. She is telling a story whenever she sings... She was the lead role of Kim in Miss Saigon, on Broadway in London and New York. This song was Eponin's song in Les Miserables, who was secretly in love with a guy in love with another woman... Pls react to her rendition of Don't Cry For me Argentina. Tnx for your reactions! 😇

She's a Broadway best actress and also Laurence Olivier best actress in West End, London

It’s Le-ya Salong-ga not Li-ya Salon-ja. She’s probably one of the best singer in the world that keep getting better, every word that she sang is crystal clear. A world class performer.

Check Lea"s ' don't cry for me Argentina' Of course she's Filipina.

This is my second favorite musical 🖤

Yes! She's a Filipino

Got to search her audition for Miss Saigon on youtube

She is Filipino , she was the lead to Miss Saigon movie

She is the singing voice of Jasmine and Mulan

She’s a DISNEY PRINCESS!

You are very very correct when you said: " Leah is EVERYTHING AND MORE... " She's a totally different class on her own; THE ultimate singer with no equal - past, present, and (I see no one yet emerging in the music horizon) in the future... FYI: Like me, Leah is a 100% Filipino... She's the voice behind Mulan's Reflections, and Disney's Aladdin's A Whole New World... Leah's the lead singer in the Musicals such as Miss Saigon and Lé Miserablés... For a further review of her, watch and critiqué her sing Fon't Cry For Me Argentina...

Damn like I want someone who looks at me the way he looks at Lea AAAAAAAAAAAAAA THAT ADMIRATION AND APPRECIATION

check out her audition tapes for Miss Saigon.

This was years ago when she was 24 years old back in 1995. She played Eponine here during the 10th Anniversary of this play and then played Fantine later on in the 25th Anniversary. She had finished singing for princess Jasmine and princess Mulan years before this video as well as becoming the FIRST ASIAN WOMAN to win a Tony Award for her role in the play Miss Saigon, so already she had accomplished a great career very early.

i LOVE this production! it is ALL amazing! if you want to do another one from this same production that will make you cry is "a little fall of rain". Since you have watched one of the film versions of Les Miserables as you said earlier in the video, it's from the super sad moment at the barricade (you know). It's sooo good.
