Lea is one of the greatest female singers ever and she does not get even 1% of the attention she rightfully deserves. I LOVE her voice, her persona, her very being. Awesome!!

Her Vibrato is a killer!

Lea Salonga got turned down for My Fair Lady.....Their loss

Super high quality underrated live performance here... Unlike any overrated popstar concerts out there.

Gosh, Lea as Eliza Doolittle would've been great. Those guys were crazy to turn her down. 😆

@Gary DeBlasio You're missing the whole point of non-traditional casting. It seems like you're one butthurt lil snowflake because theatre has been demanding more diversity recently. Normally, I would provide reasoning in instances like this but why bother changing the mind of an old white male who has been getting it his way for all of his life?

Great way to express such a relevant sentiment. If you have someone as gifted as Lea, it should always be talent over skin color.

Her high notes are so beautiful and clean! 😍

When a goddess combine her personal adventure story and her musical magic.... Amazing, inspiring...

She's really a genius in her craft :-)

She has the best voice. When she sings she gives me goosebumbs

Oh god I love this woman. She is the best.

I can not find the right word to describe you Miss Lea Salonga but an INCREDIBLE and AMAZING.

Amen Sister!!! White or Brown, you "should" have danced all night...

I just LOVE her high notes. She’s so versatile!

This Deserves a Millions Views................

This is the reason why i love broadway than the others coz it’s Live in broadway.

She must have been turned down due to her skin color in My Fair Lady but she proved to everyone that she's more than that. She ended up playing a role of a white character. I think that white character of a mother she played then was Fantine. Correct me if I'm wrong. She's gorgeously amazing. The voice is sublime.....

For My Fair Lady, i don't think, she was turned down because her skin color (If you're referring to the literal sense) because i saw Lea and she has a white complexion but it was because of someone so racist. Eponine and Fantine are French i think. Her white character was in Rag time.

She is so versatile Funny Professional Talented Amusing one of the most brilliant performers today Fought all barriers and won

She has a very strong high register. 👍

She always sing difficult notes easily and clearly 😍😍😍

No other than but only Lea Salonga known as World Class singer., Theater everything repertoire she’s good at it!

smooth soothing voice. the pride of the philippines.

The woman whose very name sounds like a melody! 🙌🏼

What a voice! What a performance !

She should sing more songs using her beautiful upper register!

She's so inspiring!

This is PERFECTION😱😱😱

You are my idol ... I am a Thai lady who entered a singing competition at 64 . I can feel your spirit . My passion has been in Broadway for ages.

1) turning I could have danced all night into a sentiment about what she could have had: brilliant. 2) I hope Marin Mazzie saw this before she passed because I'm sure she would have been proud.

Lea is wonderful playing Mother, Marrin was the absolute best!!

Wow so amazing the one and only in this planet Ms. Lea Salonga 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I saw Ragtime twice with the original cast led by Brian stokes-Mitchell, Audra MacDonald and Marin Mazzie, who played the role of Mother beautifully. Lea sings this masterpiece so beautifully as well. Amazing artistry!

love you Lea Salonga..

My stress reliever is you...😘😘😘

I used to be a member of a theater group in college although I couldn't sing well. As part of our immersion for a play, our team travelled to a remote island in thr Philippines. The primary livelihood of the people on the island was fishing and the fishermen had remarkably long limbs. We were welcomed by a family whose head of the family was half paralythic. We couldn't offer them anything monetary so instead 2 of our members sang 2 songs which made all of us including the host family cry. I wish i had a gift of voice too.

I COULD HAVE DANCE ALL NIGHT: Bed, bed! I couldn't go to bed My head's too light to try to set it down Sleep, sleep! I couldn't sleep tonight Not for all the jewels in the crown I could have danced all night I could have danced all night And still have begged for more I could have spread my wings And done a thousand things I've never done before I'll never know ahat made it so exciting Why all at once my heart took flight I only know when he began to dance with me I could have danced, danced, danced all night I could have danced all night (You're tired out, you must be dead) I could have danced all night (Your face is drawn, your eyes are red) And still have begged for more (Now say goodnight, turn out the light) (Please, it's really time for you to be in bed) I could have spread my wings (Do come along, do as you're told) And done a thousand things (Or Mrs. Pierce is apt to stir) I've never done before (You're up too late, please, it sure is late) (Miss, you'll catch a cold) I'll never know what made it so exciting Why all at once my heart took flight I only know when he (Put down your book, the work'll keep) Began to dance with me (Now settle down and go to sleep) I could have danced, danced, danced all night I could have danced all night I could have danced all night And still have begged for more I could have spread my wings And done a thousand things I've never done before I'll never know what made it so exciting Why all at once my heart took flight I only know when he began to dance with me I could have danced, danced, danced all night BACK TO BEFORE: There was a time our happiness seemed neverending, I was so sure that where we were headed was right. Life was a road so certain and straight and unbending, Our little road with never a crossroad in sight. Back in the days when we spoke in civilised voices. Women in white and sturdy young men at the oar. Back in the days when I let you make all my choices. We can never go back to before. There was a time my feet were so solidly planted. You'd sail away while I turned my back to the sea. I was content, a princess asleep and enchanted. If I had dreams then I let you dream them for me. Back in the days when everything seemed so much clearer. Women in white who knew what their lives held in store. Where are they now? Those women who stared from the mirror? We can never go back to before. There are people out there, unafraid of revealing, That they might have a feeling, Or they might have been wrong. There are people out there, unafraid to feel sorrow, Unafraid of tomorrow. Unafraid to be weak. Unafraid to be strong. There was a time when you were the person in motion. I was your wife, it never occured to want more. You were my sky, my moon, my stars and my ocean. We can never go back to before. We can never go back to before.

Malinaw at malinis talaga ang boses niya ♡

Just REMARKABLE! ♡♡♡

clarity girl! the best.

Very timely in today's trying times. March 23, 2020.

my favorite musical I've watched many times only 2nd to the Julie Andrews musical, crazy that they did not choose you, I'm sorry

Your listening to a world treasure .

Ang galing nya talaga.

Lea can be a Eliza Doolittle, she can practice the orginal key and belt it like Julie Andrews in the Broadway...

Well maybe because lea your already a disney princess... Fair enough for a lady

Wow..WELL THATS A MISTAKE!! SHE IS TOO GREAT!!😭❤

Beautiful song 😍

Whithe, black, red, blue or purple, I don't care, at that time in London there was people from all over the world. Lea's voice is ready for the part. With a little practice she can hide her American accent - the point with many of the songs is, that there are no accent at all, only clear proper Enligsh pronunciation.

Great story teller!

Huhuhuhu i love u 😭

Hermosa voz y hermosa mujer

Maravilhosa 💚🇧🇷💛👏✨👏✨👏✨

this is awesome!!

I can't imagine how soul destroying it would be knowing your'e talented enough for a role but turned down coz of the colour of your skin. And it still happens.

ahhh...Lea 😊❤

Haha love it!
