[Les Miserables] 10th anniversary - On My Own

If you knew me when I was younger, you'd never think of me as someone who liked musicals. And yes, honestly, I can't stand most of them. But when you mature a little, you become more tolerant and open to new types of music. Les Miserables was the first musical I listened to on CD in it's entirety. I couldn't help but fall in love with it. Soon after I began listening to Phantom, then Miss Saigon, then a slew of other "popular" musicals. I then saw my first musical live and was hooked. Who would have thought I'd be someone who'd obsess over a particular musical enough to see it over 20 times (ahem, Rent).

The Les Miserables 10th anniversary concert was shown on PBS back in 1995. They called it the "dream cast" and IMO it blew away London and New York studio recordings. I immediately bought the VHS (no DVDs back then :P) and CD when it was released and wore them out. Not sure how I lost them, probably in my various moves, breakups, and life itself, but a few months ago someone posted a clip from Les Mis and I realized I hadn't listened to it in years! So I YouTubed the performances and totally regretted not holding on to my original copies. I acquired the CD recording a few weeks ago and now have the 2008 DVD re-release on my Amazon wishlist.

On My Own is one of the more well known songs from Les Mis so I thought I'd share this clip. I have been lucky enough to see Lea Salonga live more than once doing reprise roles as Kim in Miss Saigon and in Flower Drum Song on Broadway. But the first time I saw her was as Eponine in Les Mis in a touring cast that came to Hawai`i. She played the role perfectly.

What's your favorite Beatles song? Bonus points if you share it with us.
So hard to decide but I would have to go with Yellow Submarine. I could've picked "Something" or "Here, there and everywhere" or some other song but Yellow Submarine holds dear to my heart because it's the first album I saw from my parents' collection. Granted it wasn't my parents' but my uncle's copy. I was just so drawn to the cartoon that I ended up liking it. I even have the movie. :)
