@@reamaelobrigo4923 The hell she's not. A region in her voice is simply atrophied after observing masked placement. You can hear it in her vibrato now. When she first started in Miss Saigon, she already sounded pleasant but the top region of her chest voice was neglected and it caused her to strain a lot.

to make it clear for all of you, She's a lyric soprano. She sang "Pie Jesu" before on the original pitch. Pie Jesu is for lyric sopranos. you can find the audio here on KZfaq.

@Lamb and Arianate In the end, it's musical theatre. Lea dedicated her sound to this achieved tone of beauty and lightness. She does not belt simply due to the fact that she was trained different, although she most absolutely can if she grew up in Pop. I believe that she is a natural soprano, with the facility to produce a High C but decided to take on alto roles regardless. She is a storyteller and a musical genius. From Glinda to Kim or Eponine, she can seamlessly jump from one to the other without much efforr.

@Lamb and Arianate If you want to listen her being bolder with chest mix, listen to the *Back to Before Concert* . She also belted an F#5 in a random birthday part jamming session. Regardless, her mixing is excellent although she does not linger much above Es. The sweet spot would be pitches around C5.

@Lamb and Arianate Lea's voice really is something that would confuse you lol. If there is anything that I have learned from hearing her, it's that, range means nothing if every note doesn't have a similar quality. She tells stories with her singing and does not need to be belting Bb5s or A5s to deliver an impressive vocal feat. She is a chameleon who could sing low notes, high notes, and everything in between. You will start appreciating her more once you know of the intention of the music that she is delivering. Enjoy! hihi.

SAW THAT

MDLKP PROPHECY hi

M Gý6ö26tgv

I do shows where I live and I love orchestra Practice cuz everything starts to feel real ❤

Depending on how you will perform 😂

Well, if you did awesome, sure😂

fuck I just realized I wasn't live at this time either

I hope u got the part. I wish you well. God bless. ❤

I am here too! 😍

Me. So good.

2021 here

2021

I’m still watching April 8, 2021 💕🇺🇸

May 9 2024 :)

Agree! They’re the real heroes here. I mean the whole production team should be appreciated, not just the cast.

Leah Lozarita i saw 4 filipina (Lea, Monique, Pinky and Isay) and robert ceña.

janine desiderio too.. ❤️

yeah who said that? i was confused as to what was happening!

lili evans, right? was so confused too

+Archer Blake Absolutely - also never understood why 'Now That I've Seen her' was dropped for 'Maybe'

I think they wanted Ellen to be more sympathetic.

Yea, that " high noon " part she sang puts my heart even more to musical theater.

Naku broadway and pop are two very different narratives. Marami din namang pop singers noon na gibberish yung mga kanta but it doesn't mean they're bad singers na or pangit ang songs nila. Kaya don't compare broadway and pop as if one should be like the other. Kailangan clear ang diction sa broadway kasi every word you sing is literally part of a bigger picture/story. Nag-aacting ka. Eh sa pop na man, you are conveying the message of the song and the listeners can simply interpret it however they want. Pop is still art and who knows? Baka part yung gibberish pronunciation sa artistic expression ng nag produce ng kanta?

@@rowzeeistyra gibberish is artistic now? Its just shit music and untalented singers trying to sound beatiful.

@@rowzeeistyra periodt.

This is not Broadway this is the west end production based in London,Broadway is for America In NYC

Ruthie is my fave fantine

It was Nicholas Hytner the director.

why'd he get upset?

Across the Universe yes

Yes

For real?

The grand maester

Walk of atonement

He is Jonathan Pryce, actually considered a topnotch actor in musical theater and films.

yes, the High Sparrow

Very much right. I also think a guy is sharp too.

ooo thank you!! same with you these are also my favorites!

Because it used to be different, there used to be a short sequence between this is the hour and if you want to die in bed in which Kim thinks about what she has done to Thuy and why she did it, and then a short reprise of I still believe. This is the hour reuiqred a full stop, because the next sequence started some entirely new music, but this sequence was cut after a few months, and then this is the hour transitioned into if you want to die in bed. And well, it's a vocal rehearsal, so they can pause whenever they want, can't they? :p

Enjolras MTA excellent! Thanks so much for replying and answering this question. It has been a burning question for ages!

@@cassiecinders6924 The song was Escape of Kim kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdemd8iJppOZeKs.html Only Monique’s version is floating around though

And he's fucking angry at the rehearsal!! 🤣🤣🤣

Loved him in this role!!!

raika oxo yeah

Yes

cesc ya 🥺😭

yeah she is I love her voice very much I want to be like lea

when I grow up I want to like her too

Its Nicolas Hayne

and i was thinking the same. why's he mad? is he mad to Lea?

He's mad because he thinks Lea and Claude-Michel are just farting around for the camera crew when *he's* trying to get their show off the ground. Bit of an overreaction, but there you are.

he's so mad like wtf

@@pem1974 He was actually mad at Claude and the camera man because during that time, behind the scenes was so much the in thing when making films compared to what is being done today. So he said they were not making a f....king film show hahaha.

@14:00

Missingmiddle A now that I've seen her

@@josefinacarrasco827 it has different lyrics from now that I've seen her... Though the melody is the same

The three original Kims! 💕

Lea Salonga - the principal Kim Monique Wilson - Lea’s 1st understudy, later on as Lea’s alternate and the principal when Lea left for Broadway. -Jenine Desiderio, Lea’s 2nd understudy, who would become one of Monique’s alternate when Monique took over, and the principal when Monique left

@@suzie276 I don't think Jenine was Kim.

@@bigradwolf5001 She was. Jenine started out as Lea’s understudy like Monique (1989-1991). She then became the alternate, alongside with Meera Popkin and Jamie Rivera, when Monique replaced Lea (1991-1992). After Monique left the company in 1992, Jenine took over as main Kim. Jamie Rivera was her alternate and then later on Joanna Ampil. Jenine left the role in May 1993 and Joanna took over. There should be some audios or photos of her as Kim out there.

@@suzie276 Interesting. Thanks.

Nash Andrew Chris the Character was supposed to be older. In the real book "Butterfly" she was 15 years old but they changed it to 17 for Miss Saigon so it's not as creepy but still Chris was technically a pedophile cuz I think he was in his mid or late twenties in the story.

there was a controversy involving the whitewashing of the engineer. where they used make up to make him look more like an asian. probably the reason why they lost the chance to win best musical at the tonys

The engineer is supposedly Eurasian / French-Vietnamese so it’s kinda okay. When it moved to Broadway, the controversy started

He is supposed to be Eurasian. Look at beauty contests and you will see that Eurasians do not really look Asians but more fair with higher nose bridge.

Sunset Mind yup you’ll see her on the first rehearsal day when she stood up and introduced herself

Spat silang pinay diyan. A diyan din pinky Amador

No. That was Lea Salonga
