Disney Princess SLAYS Les Miserables! Vocal ANALYSIS of Lea Salonga.

It's no secret that I love musical theater, Disney, and operatic performances. So mashing up one of my favorite productions of Les Mis with Lea Salonga, who has voice acted two DIFFERENT Disney princesses has me utterly intrigued. And her performance blew me away!

Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Lea Salonga for the first time, performing "On My Own”.

Lea Salonga could sing the phone book and I would still openly sob

[RandomLuminosity]

This was a GOAT performance. No one will EVER do it better than Lea did. The way she ran out of breath at the climax was so emotional and heartbreaking. And not only her singing, but the way she physically portrayed Eponine was just perfect.

[joergojschaefer]

Sung world literature... performed by a world-class singer, explained by a world-class opera singer! Brava! 👏💐

[andyschnell]

Elizabeth always provides great analysis while being so down to earth with her charming personality. For this performance, she is a fangirl, gushing over a truly remarkable vocalist.

[MattTexas]

Hard to believe it’s been 28 yrs since this concert aired on PBS. I definitely remember watching it. This entire concert is incredible.

[miyahsmommy]

In the 25th anniversary concert, she played Fantine. Both versions (10th Eponine, 25th Fantine) are amazing!! I love this woman so much!!! She's so incredibly talented!!!

[Tristana.Keauna]

this song is just perfection. doesn't matter how many times I hear/see Les Mis - I will cry.

[furygeist]

Her voice is like clean spring water. It shimmers but is clear and refreshing and carries so much energy and emotion. Full body goosebumps. She is an amazing singer. The way you become so excited while explaining why the vocals are so flippin cool makes me love the music even more than I already did. It's hard not to get excited along with you.

[compostdave]

The 10th anniversary performance at royal Albert hall is without a doubt the finest performance across all genres. This show was absolute perfection. Colm Wilkinson is simply exquisite as Valjean. Philip Quast is phenomenal as Javert. It's truly a perfect cast performing a perfect show.

I vote for your next Les Mis video to be Bring Him Home or I Dreamed a Dream from the 10th anniversary show!

[elgenetiamzon]

Another thing to note is something another reactor has pointed out: is how she fully immerses herself in the character she is portraying. Especially here. Even though she is singing in a "concert" setting, she doesn't break character. She is Eponine from start to finish.

Her perfectionism comes from having to be constantly struggling to prove herself. She had many critics when she first started ( being the first Asian performer to be cast in a major role on Broadway ). She faced a lot of criticism and prejudices, so she had to be absolutely perfect all the time. She could not afford to make any mistakes. But all that hard work has paid off because she has become a highly respected and admired performer with an undeniable world-class talent.

[digibirder]

Elizabeth's joy is so infectious! She helps me to understand more about so many different genres! Learning is fun!

[Craigpyrog]

What a great surprise to see you cover this!
I still remember the first time I saw this as a teen music student. My Dad thought it was hilarious seeing me in my room with Michael Jackson posters on the wall and wearing my Iron Maiden t-shirt watching this on repeat! (I had a crush on Lea after this. 😆 )
This whole performance is phenomenal and still made my eyes well up by the first line. Now you’ll have to cover the outstanding Colm Wilkinson too! Maybe “Bring Him Home”?
I’m interested to see how many other Les Mis fans are on the channel.

[patrickdare]

Lea will always be the queen of enunciation, and my favorite musical theater singer.

[JohnDoe-fffc]

Elizabeth having a fangirl moment explaining everything w/ such details of this genre is gold, .

[GothHoneyBee]

Pinoy power! Lea is definitely unmatched. I love the quality of her voice and she carries emotion in every song I've heard her sing. It's not just limited to musicals.

[scottfrazier]

I'm glad you did this one. I never get tired of hearing Lea sing "On My Own"

[Caroline-Ellis]

I would love to see more videos on musical theatre performances for sure!

[derekgindlesperger]

Lea Salonga is AMAING. When you listen to her as Kim in Miss Saigon she has all of this control and she is barely 18 in that production.

If you happen to listen to the Complete Symphonic Recording of Les Mis, Kaho Shimada plays Eponine. She originated the role in Japan, and was selected for this ENGLISH sung album...she (at the time) did not know any English and learned how to sing the song in English in a very short time. She KILLED IT! Check it out.

[Butzemann]

Your enthusiasm is so ridiculously contagious.
And Lea Salonga is either possessed or not from this world.

21:49 The cry on the last N of that sentence ("known") is also a perfect vehicle for more of the grieving, longing emotion.
