SHE HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICE IN THE WORLD!

Lea Salonga deserves more recognition in the Broadway world. Her voice is flawless, and she conveys such a deep emotion without even trying. Her facial expressions in this song are the epitome of perfection. She doesn't overdo it, but you can TELL she knows what she's singing about.

THE definitive version, in vocals, orchestration, and recording quality. 👏 👏 👏

This song is sooo deceptively simple, yet so difficult to do well. I love her phrasing and pathos. Just lovely.

This lady nails every syllable she sings and speaks, what a pure voice and a lady through and through

She is the greatest female vocalist of all time her vocals are just superb not to mention how beautiful she is....WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Lea is absolute PERFECTION!!! Her voice ... Her beauty ... Her sincerity ... I don't think I've ever heard anyone say a bad word about her. Her talent is undeniable. When she sings it seems to come straight from her heart ... not some over-dramatized "performance". I think this is why she touches everyone so deeply. My greatest wish is to someday be able to see her perform live.

It's just lately that I've encountered this song, 2023. And I love this version of Ms. Lea Salonga. Made me cry listening to this song😢

I never cease to be surprised at her vocal perfection. Never.

How can she sing every song so gracefully?

She dominates the lows

I've heard a lot of beautiful music, lots of beautiful songs, lots of wonderful, beautiful singers. But I keep coming back to this; maybe the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Thank you, Lea Salonga.

I've watched couple of version of this song from artists all over world, and yet this is the version that'll top all versions. So effortless and flawless. The voice and facial expression. The diction that is so clear and clean. Bravo pinay!! Still watching? September 2019

"and sadder than that, she knew he wouldn't even mind...." 😥😥😥 God, I wish I had written that line. Well, actually, I wish I had written the entire song. 😊 I always come back to this song when I want to have a good cry

Her rendition is my favorite! This is absolute perfection!

Perfection. True vocal perfection. Gosh...

As much as I love Judy Kuhn (who introduced this song in the original Broadway production of CHESS), Lea's is my favorite version of this song.

Musically perfect. Lea is so beautiful.

This is the most beautiful version of this song that I’ve ever heard! 😍

When this extra- talented lady sings, one can be sure she won't let the Philippines down ---and the world !!!

We’re have I been all these years? I love music yet I just found her last week … by accident. An amazing talent, just amazing.

really beautiful. i've heard several vocalists do this and Lea has such a lovely ease and passion to her voice.

I will never get tired listening to this song . Lea's voice is so fine and mellow.

her voice is flawless

I love this song sung by Lea Salonga and Cynthia Erivo. Their delivery is both dramatic and innocent. Emphasis are properly placed. Beautiful song...two beautiful ladies.

She and this spectacular performance got me obsessing over this brilliant song. I often come back here and everytime I do, I could never just listen once or twice but at least 5x. Yes, it takes me 5 loops to get over the weight of this song and the intensity of it to me. I haven't seen Chess so I'm just making my own context out of it. Man, how deeply it resonates with me.

Beautifully sang by a beautiful lady with the most beautiful voice!! 👍

Even prettier now saw her in concert this year 2022 these videos do not do her voice justice she is with doubt the best live performers I have seen and I have some of the best nothing comes close too this classy lady ❤️ ♥️ 💙

Absolute perfection. Period.

Elegant and heartfelt.

awesome such depth of feeling she makes the song come alive

Majesty, royal highness...God. Perfect pitch that is delivered with perfect emotion...LEA SALONGA-THE BEST!

In my opinion, she is one of the Greats, I love her songs, personality and her Beautiful face. I am partial to Filipina women but she has it all, she brings tears to my eyes when she sings the Argentina song, wow! ❤️❤️ Joseph Arsanis

She is phenomenal. I love when she sings this song. I just discovered it today. What a gift that she shares with all of us, her voice

Lea did the best version of this song and also I still love the fact as well that this musical was written by the boys from ABBA and you can definitely hear it in the song that it has an Abba-esque sound ❤️❤️❤️

A great storyteller. Pitch is ALWAYS perfect. She must be the Goddess of Music. 💜

Wow.. Gorgeous..

I saw her in London in the original Miss Saigon. She was amazing!

WOW... Amazing.

When she hits that "Go Now!" My heart stops.

"Long ago...." --- already in tears!

enough please!!!!!!...my heart is bursting.... i wish i could see you perform live before i die..

Wonderful. Will always be a fan of Lea Salonga. I always watch her concerts on KZfaq. Can't wait to watch her concert in Manila.

Superb. As beautifully acted as it sung. Salonga is a miracle.

Lea, you make the Pilipinos proud!

how does she make a tightly pulled back messy bun look so good?

Wow! Bravo Ms Lea!

I can picture this song in the movie "Becoming Jane".. Make me tear..

I've just seen chess yesterday in London. ..this lady nailed the song.why haven't I heard of her before she's ace.id pay to see her in concert.going to see if I can buy her cd next!!!

Simply the perfect singer for this song!

What a lovely voice!

my teacher gave me this as a song to sing and at first i was like ha another love song but i started practicing it and cried immediately lmao

no one can beat Ms. Lea Salonga's voice... i wanna be like her

Easily the best vocal rendition of this song!

Vocal perfection. Can’t say anything else.

Such a beautiful song, I’m singing for this choir and it’s mesmerizing

Beautiful

This is the BEST interpretation out there on KZfaq.

she must have perfect pitch

bravo,bravo,bravo!!!

Watching this January 2021! Goosebumps!!

Love!

Beautiful!

Man, I wish they'd have had Lea in the concert instead of Idina Menzel. Lea's the only one who has done this song as well as Judy Kuhn.

DEAR JOSH LI, THANK YOU FOR THE WORDS & THE CHORDS, HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS INFO FOR A LONG TIME. THANKS AGAIN!, SINCERELY, SACHESCO

I love this song so many singers actresses sing it well but they don’t act it I am in tears after watching this this is my new favorite version of this Lea owned this song and even out of the context of the show!!!

She was 30 when she did this concert. Prime of her life, her voice.

I love this song so much. I'm so proud of you Ms. Lea Salonga. I'm proud to be a Filipino..

Pitch perfect!!! 👏👏👏

this is literally my favourite video on the internet

So perfect.

SVETLANA: Long ago In someone else's lifetime Someone with my name Who looked a lot like me Came to know a man And made a promise He only had to say And that's where she would be Lately although her feelings Run just as deep The promise she made Has grown impossible to keep And yet I wish it wasn't so Will he miss me if I go? In a way It's someone else's story I don't see myself As taking part at all Yesterday The girl that I was fond of Finally could see The writing on the wall Sadly she realized She'd left him behind And sadder than that She knew he wouldn't even mind And though there's nothing left to say Would he listen if I stay? It's all very well to say "You fool, it's now or never" I could be choosing No choices whatsoever I could be in someone else's story In someone else's life And he could be in mine I don't see a reason to be lonely I should take my chances Further down the line And if that girl I knew Should ask my advice Oh, I wouldn't hesitate She needn't ask me twice "Go now!" I'd tell her that for free Trouble is the girl is me The story is the girl is me

Sung with much beauty and emotion without going into dramatics! Incredible voice. Hands-down the BEST version of this song.👍

Not familiar with this song, but I really enjoyed it PLUS especially with her singing it!💞🎶

Ganda niya.

Perfection.

oh what a voice!

This is perfection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great song and voice 😢thanks

Superb! I can't help my ears to listen.

2:35 ❤️

Great audio

Without a doubt, the two best performances of this song were by Disney princesses!

I love this suplada version of Lia.

I've really, REALLY held off listening to Lea singing this. It's almost as if she changed her diction to do this. She has the bite and anger. Brava, Lea

Yes, the story is the girl is me 💔

Beautiful, but for me Helen Sjöholm's version in Swedish touches me even deeper than this.

Great voice but I only feel goosebumps when I listen to Kerry Ellis.

Um why is my voice teacher trying to make me sing this!! I CANT SING LIKE THAT

I would love to hear Agneta sing this. Trouble is Agneta does not know me :)

Lea has the ability to own whatever musical masterpeice she sang

The world needs fewer Taylor Swifts and more Lea Salongas

This version ends in a lower key than Judy Kuhn's BEGINS, but it's still an impressive performance.

Yes, it's from Chess.

She is absolutely incredible! I love everything about this performance but can I just ask to see if I’m right, did she go slightly sharp on that last note?

2:35

She is excellent vocalist. Facial expressions simply nice and attractive in the audience

This sounds like a Disney song.

still gorgeous in messy bun.

So much better than the cartoon voice of Idina but Helen Sjoholm is still the Queen in both English and Swedish
