Lea Salonga has a great career in the Philippines because of The Voice of the Philippines, but it’s been a while since she did something abroad.
This is why fans from around the world were excited when it was announced that she is going back to Broadway via the musical Allegiance.
Before the show, she also had a concert called Kaleidoscope held at The Town Hall last March 14, and it was a pretty successful concert with about 1500 audience members.
She took on songs like Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” and Kuh Ledesma’s “Sino ang Baliw,” but one cover she did really, really well was Sam Carner and Derek Gregor’s “Advice to a Young Firefly.”
We’ve never heard of the song but it sure sounds so current and mainstream; it’s so good it can be her new single!
