After winning the Tony for her performance in "Miss Saigon, " Lea thought that her career on Broadway would take off. However, many producers would not cast her on Broadway because she was Asian. Cameron Mackintosh called Lea and offered her the part of Eponine and she was delighted to take on the role. In the back of her mind, she knew that she had to be perfect in her performances to silence the critics and doubters. PERFECT she has been in her performances as Eponine and luckily this was captured for all eternity at the 10th Anniversary Concert of "Les Miserables."

All rise for the National Anthem of Friendzone. LoL

[uswe]

Well, you can't spell cLEAr without LEA.

[sarahfinley]

I love the original Eponine, don't get me wrong. But the moment Lea touches a role, she wins the best rendition, ever, hands down.

[trishamist]

Her pronunciation is clearer than the water...

[Akdcacac]

Can you believe this woman is the voice of Princess Jasmine from the original Aladdin, the singing voice of Mulan, and the lead role of Miss Saigon.. How much talent can you fit into one human?? She's always been so confident, like nothing can bring her down, since her childhood audition videos.. Truly talented, humble, confident, and graceful human being.

LETS BE HONEST. we want Lea to be NATIONAL ARTIST OF THE PHILIPPINES.

[CyberbackerJem]

Let's be honest. You can't remember the number of times you watched this performance.

[yaccothetaco]

Lets be real. You imagined yourself singing this in front of people 😂

[trulyblessed]

This is the correct way of singing in Broadway or theatre, she's the gold standard.

No one else comes close,

Every word is clear, well enunciated and correctly pronounced, and pitch perfect!

So audiences will connect to the show because they can understand thus feel it with their heart and soul

[tddizon]

There was a one mistake here.. she set the bar high in this role... It'll be tough to beat her.

[joeylopez]

Look at that mouth! The diction is clearer than my faceshield!!!!

[beyondgirl]

she's so pretty even dressed like a peasant wtf

[mythra]

When she sings, "a world that's full of happiness that I have never known", I'm glad she doesn't SCREECH the word "known" like so many others do. She let's it be powerful without sounding like a banshee. This is my favorite version of this song.

[brittany]

It's almost poetic how the audience's applause sounds like rain

[jcb]

Its already 2020 guys, but i cant move on to this song

[janji]

Still watching this legend in June 2024

[thesavvyfilipino]

Anyone who speak English in different levels can understand every word of that song. Her diction is just perfect.

Not many people have an idea how much Lea Salonga contributed in breaking barriers and stigma against Asian recognition in the arts. She is up there with George Takei and the likes.
