On My Own






this is just one of my favourite songs in the WHOLE of Les Miserables, the musical. (call me mushy but i don't care.) it's a horrible sad case of unrequited love, where idiotic Marius is TOO DARN BLIND to see that Eponine loves him and later, she dies, without Marius ever knowing that she had loved him. the worst part is that he falls in love with another girl (who i think is really shallow AND ugly in this version)without actually knowing her as well as he had known poor forgotten Eponine (love at first sight.. if there's ever such a thing).

idiot.

hrumph.




oh. and Lea Salonga is really fantastic as Eponine.

(alright. i'm biased. she's the only Asian singer/actress to have REALLY made it on broadway with lead castings in Miss Saigon and Les Miserables. power vocals. oh, and she was also the singing voice of Jasmine in Aladdin. just superb.)
