my favorite scene from miss saigon.. enjoy!

You who i cradled in my arms

You asking as little as you can

Little snip of a little man

I know i'd give my life for you

You didn't ask me to be born

You, why should you learn of war or pain?

To make sure you're not hurt again

I swear I'd give my life for you

I've tasted love beyond all fear

And you should know it's love

that brought you here

And in one perfect night

when the stars burned like new,

I knew what I must do

I'll give you a million things I'll never own

I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown

You will be who you want to be

You, can choose whatever heaven grants

As long as you can have your chance

I swear i'll give my life for you

Sometimes I wake up

reaching for him

I feel his shadow brush my head

But there's just moonlight on my bed

Was he a ghost? Was he a lie?

That made my body laugh and cry?

Then by my side the proof i see

his little one, gods of the sun,

bring him to me!

You will be who you want to be

You, can choose whatever heaven grants

As long as you can have your chance

I swear i'll give my life for you

No one can stop what i must do

I swear i'll give my life for you!

She sounds good, but, as with my opinion about Eva's performance, I would NOT be holding/ touching Tam while I was singing about having had sex with Chris. In my opinion, that's just...WRONG as HECK!

I assume everyone who watches this knows what is going to happen. As this song ends, Kim goes in the next room and kills herself so her son will be able to go live with his father for a better life. At 3:15 in this song, at the really emotional part … I was sitting in a theater watching this when the child actor chose that very moment to pick a wedgie. It wasn't Lea, but that evening's Kim kept singing, probably unsure of why the audience was laughing hysterically. A night to remember for sure. And everyone in that theater understood why you aren't supposed to work with a child actor for a live performance. :) This is an absolutely beautiful scene though, and even though I flash back to the wedgie, it still moves me every time I see it.

I watched Madame Butterfly but Miss Saigon is more entertaining. Especially when Lea plays Kim.

Eva is a good actress, but Lea Salonga is a legend who cannot be replaced.. Lea's voice resonates uniquely, in an awesome and beautiful way which no one can seem to emulate..

I think all the songs for Kim in miss Saigon... It is made only for Lea salonga to be sang... She gives life to the song... She's telling a story and that what makes the song more remarkable

Would have been nice had the producers been honest about what happened which is the US directed ferocious and FULLY INTENTIONAL war and aggression against SOUTH Vietnam and the SOUTH Vietnamese. (If Washington says they were fighting the NORTH, you can pretty much assume it was really the exact opposite.)

Jean Paul Reyes, if you have the rest of the musical can you post it please?

What makes Lea stand out in all that portrayed Kim in Miss Saigon? (even compared to the new preview). Simply because she sings not only with power but with empathy to the role and act so naturally...not over doing it.

Lea rocks. She totally owns this song. This song is so moving, especially when you realize what will happen at the end, it will move you even more.

She set the standard for kim's role... i guess, what Ms. Lea did before would be the greatest challenge that the new kim shoud surpass...
