No auto tune or lip synching bullshit! Broadway stars are the rarest and the best

She just performed a miracle. She made a room full of drunk people be quiet for an entire song. I’ve never seen it done before.

Lea Salonga is the standard of ON MY OWN. period.

NO microphones, no specials effects, no auto tunes. Just raw and and pure talent. The best Lea Salonga!

As much as I love Samantha Barks, Lea is hands down my favourite Éponine. Perfect.

2020. Who’s with me?

I've always told myself I'd not overreact to meeting a celebrity, but if I ever met Lea Salonga, the combination of beauty and talent might make me pass out. She's just perfect.

Lea is so generous and sincere. I remember when I saw LM ... omg... 26 years ago?? She was Eponine. We waited outside the stage door in the cold for everyone. And she hadn't come out about 20 mins later. Someone came out and asked if we were waiting for Lea and we said yes. She was eating dinner with her parents. They told us that they would try to get her. She came out MOMENTS later... INTERRUPTED HER DINNER WITH HER PARENTS. Signed my friends cast and greeted us SOOOO WARMLY.

Everyone's shoosshing everyone so they can hear her sing. She's so fantastic.

Eponine is having a drink at the bar. :D

the way the pianist was in awe of her, goosebumps !

A mere "WOW!!!" is a gross understatement! It was an impromptu, unrehearsed performance, with no warm-ups, mikes or mike tests, and there Lea Salonga goes, singing and sounding as if she was performing on a Broadway/West End stage or inside a recording studio!! Absolutely amazing!!

All rise for the National Anthem of Friendzone. LoL

she looked like she was having a good time. Lea looked like she was relaxing and drinking (maybe) but the moment she sings, it was as if she's performing on stage: perfection in any place :)

No auto-tune needed... just pure talent.

A real singer can sing beautifully anytime and anywhere.

Man, kinda makes me jealous of Darren. It's like, he just calls up TONY AWARD WINNING BROADWAY AND DISNEY LEGEND/SUPERSTAR, MS. LEA SALONGA, and was like, hey lets go hang out at a bar and just like that, she's like, sure lets go! and then goes on to bring the house down with her indescribable voice. WOW!! Just goes to show how she's just so unbelievably humble and does not act like she's better than anyone, even though her level is completely unreachable.

i think of other singers who are in the industry with the same or more years of experience like her...i believe not all of them can pull off singing the songs that they pulled off many years ago with the same level of intensity, pitch, clarity and tone like Lea. this video also shows how well Lea takes care of her voice. it's been years and still she could sing like she never got old.

im so amazed at how her vibratto is so clear and so crispy I can taste and eat it. Bravo!

Lea Salonga having fun on a night out with an impromptu performance (and no doubt a little alcohol :P ) is still miles better than the studio version from the Film. Best Éponine by a clear way :)

Even unrehearsed, impromptu, LEA SALONGA delivers.

The response tells everything about how loved and admired she is as a person and as a singer. Lea is really a princess in her own right.

This bar could be on Guinness world of record of most quite bar in the World... Everyone are on silent mode when she starts singing

Just pure talent.. No microphone.. No auto tune needed.. And that was a hard song to sing.. But she sang it with ease & flying colors! The best Eponine!

What a performance. In a noisy room with a big crowd and no mic she is perfect. I saw her five times in Miss Saigon in New York. She is as gifted a performer as you will ever find. Bless her heart.

This woman can sing. She makes it looks easy....

Live... no mic, no reverb, no auto-tune. Just pure talent.

her technique and musicality is still perfect even when she’s just casually singing...

Singing with a nervous pianist and still sounds like a complete orchestra accompanies the sound that comes out of that totally gifted voice box.Yes Lea,You Own IT,nobody can sing that song better than you.❤️

Her voice just makes me believe that anything is possible.. Just like Disney movies! Perfect!

This, in the time when phone cameras sucked, looked like an AFV home video, but it can’t hide the clarity and intensity of her voice. Truly awesome.

I never get tired of watching this. First of all - love this impromptu performance. No rehearsal, no microphone - just a piano and a voice. Also, love seeing Lea with all the earrings! She has a total of 5 piercings (3 in left ear, 2 in right ear) but we rarely see them!

Lea is 44 this year so that makes her 42 in this video and still she sang great like the old times and still does..

I'm so nervous!! LOL Lea Salonga Simply the BEST!!! Thanks Darren Criss. Hoping she can be Blaine's mom in GLEE

The piano player's comments before and after say it all.

Her voice makes its own reverb. 😍

HOW CAN SHE BE 42???????? SHE LOOKS 23!!!!!!!!!!

Lea shows how to have class and still be cool.

*The pianist appears to be lost, but her pitch perfect voice is just so precise all through out that the pianist is like being guided by the key she sets, and her tempo. By the way this is when Grand slam Theater Actress meets a Grand slam TV Actor. Lea Salonga took home 5/5 trophies from theaters highest honors including Tony and Olivier, Darren Criss also took home every best actor award including Golden Globes' and Emmy's for his role in The American Crime Story.*

Marie's Crisis is the best Piano Bar for all the broadway enthusiast..i remembered recordingthe crowd singing and the piano artist man i was shut down..just amazing!

Whenever I see videos of Lea being invited to sing, everyone will really reprimand themselves to shutup for respect. That's how commanding her voice ans talent is. Bow down to my Queen. ❤

Lea Salonga is Perfection! OMG.

YEAH EVERYONE BETTER SHUSH THEY ARE IN FRONT OF BROADWAY ROYALTITY AND DISNEY PRINCESS LEGEND SHUT UP PESSANTS

3:17 damn the power, control, perfect placement and vibrato of this high note is the best among all of her versions of this song, and even among other singers

She performs the final note much better than she did in the ten anniversary concert. I still see no point to change to head voice solely to sing the 'known' in TAC. and also the 'go ON turning' bit. But this time, she perfects all those parts for her strong eponine.

Precise vibrato at its finest!👍

SUPERB! Classy singer with a voice that no one can replicate. Very clear vocals, superb voice calisthenics and very clear pronunciation. I'll never tire listening to her voice! JUST INCREDIBLE!

pretty sure in a later interview about this night, she said she was a little drunk so it's even more impressive tbh

Love how everyone listened while Lea is singing. Damn she is iconic!

In your midst is Eponine herself.. Lucky peeps.

Such a lucky crowd.

those people were soooo lucky to hear her sing LIVE!! i know she misses playing Kim and Epiphone in Miss Saigon (Broadway), she's playing those roles for 7 or maybe 12 years, if i'm not mistaken.... and still her voice is just so beautiful to listen...

Everytime i hear Lea's version of this, nothing ever changes. Consistently perfect!

Simply Awesome!

Yes she can sing whatever whenever, 35 years in the biz yet better than ever! That's true talent right there

Marie's Crisis is such a magical place. I've never had a bad evening there.

wow! angelic voice! I gotta say Lea has gorgeous hair!

For some reason, I’m on my 5th replay of this video (in succession!)...... and still can’t get over how she just causally sat there, sang, and broke my heart and made me fall in love again.... I am thankful that I am living at the same time as lea salonga. To witness such talent... breath taking.

She still looks so young and beautiful!

2021 here! Lea and only Lea Salonga can sing and take my breath away 💕💕💕

it's been 2020 and I'm still listening this over and over again 😍

It’s 2020 , and still cry when I hear Lea Salonga sing. She’s a jem!

For the pianist this could be 1 of his unforgettable piece.

Considering the audio been recorded on a cellphone, Wow that Vox just Wow!

Freaking pitch perfect Leah Salonga.

Lea you are amazing! I truly believe the you are the best singer on the planet and I'm not trying too be a suck up. You could actually sign the phone book!!

GOOSEBUMPS. She wins at life.

It feels like the world freezes when Lea sings.

I could only think of one person when we speak of Eponine.. LEA SALONGA. She has made her mark. And this song would always remind me of her :)

Aside from her angelic voice, I really like her beautiful face. I really like the way she smiles and her dimple

She has the most gorgeous voice.

Lea is really legendary

Wow Ms Lea you are really a great Singer even without microphone you can sing fantatic.

Gad, can anyone look this good, sing this great, still? Lea, you're a red red wine!

Best.Eponine.Ever!!!👏👍

OMG!!! I love her, right in the Disney feels, *cries*

Lea is an absolute marvel, wow!

I get goosebumps every time I hear her sing ❤

What makes Lea Salonga a great performer is that, she's singing every song as if it was hers. Plus the fact that her voice is like a fine wine.

can you imagine you are in the same room with the real Jasmine Singing voice herself? omg that would be better than a real concert. dream come true for everyone there.

Now I want to watch Les Miserables again..then I realize it's 2 hours and 40 minutes long movie with non stop singing it's crazy

Geez, Leah's voice and singing made the piano guys accompaniment classy!

i want her voice!! so is so blessed with that amazing talent! ugh.

Hearing her sing this live is breathtaking. She wasn't even trying but still sounds amazing and crisp!

The Friend Zone Song.

I love watching performances like this. I especially love the pianist's reaction at the end as Lea sustains the last note and finishes it with the vibrato. *goosebumps* The audience reaction was also fun to watch. It would have been great to be there in person.

the pianist was so cute!he's nervous..!😍

A voice like an angel.....when she sings ....like silver... it is the definition of perfection

yung napadaan ka lang tapos na inlove ka na sa ganda ni miss Lea ❤

3:18 eargasm

Wish I could've been there!

She was the best and only the best Eponine !

OMG,she is God's gift to us with her amazing voice.🥰🇵🇭🇺🇸

I would just like to highlight how gorgeous she looks here.

The Queen Of Broadway... Queen Leah Salonga;)

Ang ganda talaga ni lea. And syempre best in the world uung timbre ng boses.

She really owns ON MY OWN! and she is Miss LEA SALONGA

Lea is the best! Always. She is not comparable to others. Very very great. :) Pure Talent from someone of pure heart..

The real Ms. Saigon never changes.. A Disney Princess too 😊😊

There was a time when all the Broadway greats came down to Grove to sing. I remember meeting Liza at The Five Oaks with The Pet Shop Boys. Many had started there on that strip - and never forgot where they came from. Sadly the prices of real estate have sent many of the old clubs packing. Sad. Glad to see that Darren remembers his friends.
