Total Virtuosity 4

Hey y'all!!! Sorry to keep y'all waiting :P I was being lazy after I've came back from HK, but now I'm charged and ready to keep my blog going!! Here's the "series" continued...

Today's virtuoso = Lea Salonga!

My friend Joyce, very knowledgeable on musicals + other musical area, showed me who Lea Salonga is!

She's a total virtuoso who debuted and performed at the age of 19!!!! "She was [also] the first Asian to play Eponine in the musical Les Misérables on Broadway" - Wikipedia

Her seriousness, virtuosity, and attitude during performances and even in rehearsals is what captured me to feature her in this blog! She's a real performer and musician... and that should be the standard of being a true musician rather than accepting "some famous, good looking people" who will sing off-tune every other 5 notes and still think they're cool who just totally disgraced the term musician or vocalist.

This is "On My Own" from Les Misérables (Broadway show).
