Subject: Lea Salonga to sing for urgent cause Author: Inquirer News Service [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:38:34 09/10/05 Sat Only in Hollywood : Lea Salonga to sing for urgent cause First posted 00:22am (Mla time) Sept 11, 2005 By Ruben V. Nepales /Inquirer News Service ==================== Editor's Note: Published on page A4-1 of the September 11, 2005 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer =========================== LOS ANGELES—Before Lea Salonga makes her much-anticipated debut at New York’s Carnegie Hall in November, she will perform in the West Coast to help raise awareness for Asians for Miracle Marrow Matches (A3M). The Philippines’ pride stars in a concert at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts on Oct. 23 to spotlight the need for more Filipinos to register as potential marrow donors for patients like Trisha Cendana, a 12-year-old girl in Quezon City who urgently needs a bone marrow transplant. A3M, which is based in LA, is working to find a marrow match for Trisha and a US hospital to underwrite her care. When we asked Lea via e-mail if she was even more committed to help A3M because of its quick reaction to embrace the cause of a Filipino child, she replied, “It makes me realize how many people [both children and adults] need help. There are families who go through a kind of desperation wanting to save their loved ones. I know of people who have fought cancer. It’s not just the patient that fights—the family fights right alongside them. It’s important that the community gets involved. Who knows, [the next victim could be] one’s own family. I just found out that one of my best friends in Manila is a former office mate of Trisha’s mother. So, it hits closer than we all think.” Trisha’s plight came to the attention of A3M through Alpha Phi Omega International, of which her father, Bong, is a member. Lea confirmed that it would be her first time to perform at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts, which is located in a suburb in the LA County area. Famous artists have done shows there, from the late Frank Sinatra to Whitney Houston to the Royal Shakespeare Company. In 1997, we watched Kuh Ledesma at Cerritos Center in one of her best LA performances. “I’ve heard nothing but great things about the venue,” Lea gushed. “I’m really looking forward to the show.” On a lighter note, we asked the Tony and Laurence Olivier Award-winning performer this question: If you were a teenager growing up in this era of reality series contests, would you have joined “American Idol” or any of its equivalents in the Philippines? “I don’t know,” she answered. “It just isn’t in my personality to do that!” When we inquired if she planned to see the Broadway musical “Lennon” and if she had met Quezon City native and “Miss Saigon” alumna Julie Danao-Salkin, who plays Yoko Ono, Lea declared, “I’d love to go and see it. Oh, regarding Julie Danao-Salkin, we met in Boston while shopping at The Gap!” Lea said Julie’s “Rent” cast mate Cristina Ablaza, with whom she did “Miss Saigon” in NY, was also at the store. As for coaching KC Concepcion and Karel Marquez, who alternated as Belle in Manila’s recent production of “Beauty and the Beast,” Lea revealed, “It was a trip. I never thought it would be anything I’d ever do, and it ended up being one of the most fulfilling things I’ve ever done. It’s a different high from performing. I definitely want to do more of it.” We remembered that Lea starred in the Philippines’ staging of “Proof,” so we told her that we just saw the movie version (she did the Catherine role, which Gwyneth Paltrow essayed in a London stage production and, now, onscreen as well). “I am looking forward to seeing the film,” Lea shared. “I’ve actually forgotten much of the dialogue so everything will be like new. I saw the Broadway production with Mary Louise Parker before we staged it in Manila.” We asked belatedly how she spent her first wedding anniversary with Robert Chien and how married life was so far. She obliged with, “We just had a simple quiet dinner in the Brentwood area (in West LA). Nothing fancy. And married life is wonderful.” At the time of our e-mail interview, Lea was in Manila getting ready to do a show in the spanking new Hong Kong Disneyland. “Awesome!” was her description of the theme park which she toured several weeks earlier. What else is on the horizon? “There’s Carnegie Hall on Nov. 7 and a concert in Cebu on Dec. 9. Beyond that, I’m counting on having a very merry Christmas with my family and friends.” Ticket information for Lea’s Cerritos Center concert is available at (888) 2364673, (800) 3004345, www.asianmarrow.org and www.cerritoscenter.com. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Lea finally does Carnegie Hall. Regine done Carnegie Hall waaaay back in 1991?! Regine & Lea are two of a special kind to your music man and music friends of the song bird. ;-) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ http://insidebuzz.tripod.com [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Regine & >Lea are two of a special kind to your music man >and music friends of the song bird. ;-) >+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > > >http://insidebuzz.tripod.com I think Lea is the only best Filipina performer among others.She can sing any song perfectly with her voice without belting and screeaming or shouting. She does'nt need to sing very high notes to impress, Just a simple Carpenters song wouldnt be boring to hear over and over again. and even if you wanna turn up the volume, di pa rin masakit sa tenga. I just observed sa mga local shows, always biritan, no one really appreciates a good voice without it. Parang iisa lang and standard ng mga local talents. Those who cannot do birit but have a nice voice are left behind. Maybe this is the reason why only artist like Lea is appreciated by International audience. I don't mean to say that Regine is not appreciated worldwide, maybe she is, nagkalat naman kasi ang Pinoy worldwide. Ofcourse, foreign artist like bryan mcknight and Legrand would praise her since they're doing shows with her locally. But the way i see it. pang Pinoy lang talaga ang taste ng talent ni Regine. i'm sorry to say sa mga fans nya, but you cannot insist that she can be better internationally.

As broadway musical performer, no doubt. But you have to know that even Cameron Macintosh was impressed with Regine's voice he offered her the role of Kim. That means, Regine has a voice that even broadway cannot resist. Again, Lea's recordings commercially speaking is not as successful as that of Regine's. I still have to hear that her most recent outing had fared well. Just because Lea is a world class broadway performer (an award-winning at that) doesn't make her "...THE ONLY BEST FILIPINA SINGER AMONG OTHERS..." because you have to beyond your opinion. You have to show points what makes her..."THE ONLY BEST FILIPINA SINGER.." and by that show her accomplishments beyond broadway musical. We all recording-wise, still has yet to be proven. As for Regine, my opinion would not be "...THE ONLY BEST FILIPINA SINGER AMONG OTHERS..." but it would be, "REGINE IS THE TOP PERFORMING FEMALE PERFORMER IN THE COUNTRY- BEING A SUPERB SINGER, A CONCERT PERFORMER, PRODUCER, HOSTS, ACTRESS, DESIGNER, STORY WRITER- A MULTIMEDIA ARTIST PERSONIFIED!". sigh...

[> Subject: Re: Lea Salonga to sing for urgent cause Author: TOLSKY [Edit] Date Posted: 00:25:52 12/06/05 Tue i beg to disagree although that is your opinion. Regine has her fair share of foreign audience abroad. While many insist Asia as "regional" and US & Europe as "international", I still believe regard Regine as international. Don't forget in mind Regine is the only Pinoy artists to successfully launched 3 consecutive albums across Asia and sold more than a million in effect. Lea, while recognized as a theatre musical performer of world-class caliber, as a recording artist, she still pales in comparison with Regine, locally, "regionally" or "locally". Much of Asian music fans know little about Lea Salonga. Very little. Asia is the world's most diverse continent and capturing that market is pretty an accomplishments considering regional and language boundaries. I have high regard for Lea as a theatre performer. But as recording and concert artist, I have reservations on that aspect. Besides, while Lea has been touring around US concert halls, she still hasn't penetrated US music scene. No remarkable achievment yet as far is recording is concern. Just a piece of my mind. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Lea Salonga/ Regine Velasquez 2 of a Kind Author: mmJm- The two artist u really can be proud of [Edit] Date Posted: 19:57:10 12/06/05 Tue Regine fans don't have to insist on anything when it comes to Regine Velasquez, Jm clone.. She did very well with selling millions of albums throughout Asia. She's already been international. mmJm --------- > Lea does have a nice pleasant soft voice. I like it very much. While Regine has one heck of an awesome voice. And I love it. Everybody should be able to tell when a international artist like McKnight is making nice and just doing kind and proper sip-sip to any of our local artists. Especially if they are performing with that artist. And being one who worked with all kinds I certainly think I can tell when someone is just being nice and blowing smoke one's way from someone who truly wanted to pay an artist a compliment because they are in awe of someone's incredible talent/ singing ability. And it sure sounded like McKnight and all those other international stars were impressed with her beyond any doubt. Go pull up those old articles and review what they say about her. Then go read what international artists say to the others and tell me there isn't a difference in their praising. What they say about Regine is the kind of compliments that comes straight from their musical hearts. You think Legrand would personally get involve with just anyone asking to record an album of his own compositions and then want to work on the album's distribution in his own country?! That man is a living musical legend. It was an honor for all music loving pinoys hearing about his personal involvement on an album with a pinoy artist. Yet he talked like the honor was all his working with our Regine Velasquez. I hope you learned something today. Even though you probably posted just to fish for a hard reaction. Those girls can't be compared in the manner you are thinking about. Lea is our best female broadway singer. Regine is our top female pop singer. Regine singing broadway songs doesn't make her a broaway singer. Lea singing Pop songs don't make her a Pop artist. Though she wanted to be one. And she was one with a release here before she did Miss Saigon. But there is such a huge difference in their music styles can't be compared on the same level. Their talents ARE more compliment of each other. They are night and day. Loud and soft. Yet very much two of a kind. And we should love both of them without thinking of either or the other talents less than the other. You okay now? mmJm ;-} >+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ >Lea finally does Carnegie Hall.

OK yan sa akin dahil opinyon mo yan. Pero ang hindi kita sasangayunan (dinagdag mo pa kasi, eh) ay sa sinabi mong "(classical and) Broadway songs still and will (fore)ever be SUNG by....again, by people who knows and appreciate real music." O ayan medyo inayos ko na ng kaunti ang grammar mo, ha. (kahit na medyo mali pa rin. Ano 'ka mo? Typo? Perhaps). Sino ang 'people' na tinutukoy mo? People like you? Snobbish, pretentious at puno ng pag-ha-hambog ang mga komento mo. Hindi porket nakarinig ka lang ng classical music ay mas naka-aangat na ang taste mo kesa sa iba. Hindi porke't April Boy at Aegis ang pinakikinggan at kinakanta ni Aling bale hindi na siya nakaka-appreciate ng 'real' music. At sino ka ba para magsabi kung ano ang 'real' music? Ang Jazz ba hindi real music? What about R&B? Hip-hop? Electronica? Dance? Blues? Country? Nang-huhusga at nang-i-stereotype ka na rin lang eh di siguro dapat mong malaman na "people who listen to Broadway Musicals are SO gay". Pero alam kong alam mo na mali ito. Hindi porke't may subject, kurso at kasama sa college curriculum ang Classical music appreciation matatawag mo na itong 'highest form of music'. Akala mo ba walang mga pangit na classical pieces? Akala mo ba lahat ng Broadway musicals ay maganda? At paano mo naman nasisiguro na ang mga kanta ni Regine ay di na mapapakinggan at magugustuhan ng mga tao sa mga darating pang henerasyon? Na-predict mo na ba ito? Buhay ka pa ba non? Ang totoo - lahat ng klase ng music magtatagal basta ba maganda ito at marami ang nagkakagusto nito.

At bakit ba naman hindi, interpretasyon lang naman niya ang mga iyon, sigurado ako mas may mahusay pang mang-aawit na darating upang muling kantahin ang mga musikang likha ng mga henyo ng musika. i am not really a fan of classical and broadway music, wala pa nga sa sampu ang alam ko sa mga yun. gusto ko lang ipahiwatig na higit akong humahanga sa mga taong may kakayanan sa ganitong istilo dahil ito naman ang pinagmulan ng lahat ng uri ng makabagong himig. Tungkol naman sa pag-awit ni Regine, i understand how good she is,hindi ko lang nagugustahan ang ilang rendition nya ng kanta kung saan pilit nyang binubwelta ang pag-awit hanggang mawala na ang artistic style o kagandahan nito. subukan nyong obserbahan ang mga clips ni Mariah carey sa Youtube.com, kahit gaano kataas ang mga inaawit nya ay napapanatili pa rin nya ang damdaming dapat ipahiwatig ng bawat letra ng awitin, waring sumusunod lamang sa melody nito at hindi mo mahahalata na nag-iipon ng pambwelta o ano pa man.sa isang clip kung saan pinagsamasa ang mga matataas na mga parte sa kanyang awit ay natural pa rin ang pag-awit nya ng walang kahirap hirap at tunay na hindi masama pakinggan.
