Obsessions: Top Ten Reasons Why One Would Obsess Over Lea Selonga
Over the weeks I have been obsessing over the one and only Lea Salonga.. Yeah, I may be a little too behind over my obsession but I just couldn't stop. So here are the top ten reasons why one may (or rather should) obsess with Ms. Lea Salonga..
So why not obsess?? I really love her the Voice PH Antics. makes me laugh when they're fighting over a singer XD (Come on! to those who really think she meant to say those stuff in a serious manner... All i can say is COME ON! That was obviously a Joke!!! >_< hahahah where are your sense of humor people! Lighten up!)
10. Because she is Mulan...
Yeah I know she's not Mulan's voice per-se but she is Mulan's singing voice. YES she sang Mulan even before Aguilera did so please don't be confused..
9. Because shes Tuptim of the King and I
For those who did not know, Lea Salonga played the voice of Tuptim along side Julie Andrews in the Hollywood recording of the King and I. And I really really really love her version of Tuptim's song!
8. Because she is Princess Jasmine - "A Whole New World"
No wonder our while family went to the movies to watch Aladdin neither did I know at that time that it was all because of Lea Salonga... Here's my favorite video of their recording!
7. Because of her speech when she recieved the Tony Awards..
Oh Ms. Lea and the Actors Equity ( a little background Lea almost was not accepted to play the role of Kim in the US Broadway run due to to her Asian decent. I think they want to prioritize US citizens for jobs or something like that) This award, like her speech in The latest episode of the voice is a sign that she too had a hard time.. Also I wouldn't know if there'll be another REAL PINOYs who will win the Tony's
6. Because she is Fantine in the Les Miserables 25th anniversary concert
The only Asian allowed to play the role!!! How hot is that!!!! And not only that she is hailed as one of the best Fantines ever!!!! :)
5. Because she is (The Best) Eponine of Les Miserables 10th Anniversary Concert
The best Eponine Hands Down (Based on my you tube research!)
4. Because She went Hiiiiiiiigheeerrr, Hiiiiiiigheer - Allegiance
I have only known George Takei have begun from guesting in TBBT... But now I now know him to be with Ms. Lea Salonga in this play Allegiance :)
3. Because She had Dreamed a Dream
I almost cried from this performance caught on video! Lucky I did not, else I'll be crying on a crowded place!

2. Because she went to Broadway "On Her Own"
Since as claimed by this video the only On My Own video that you will be able to see of Lea is from the Concert so why not settle for the greatness of this audio instead from the actual play?. Love it!

1. Because of her Miss Saigon Audition - Cold reading Sun and Moon
I could not stop rambling on how Miss Lea Salonga was able to read notes (something I will never be capable of) at a young age! In addition this is for me the rawest sweetest manifestation of her voice Gotta give it some more love !!!
