I found this online....
Much different from her last performance in a variety show, Lea Salonga performed the song again with more depth and emotion in a concert held last night in the Philippines. Check out the video: http://jeffaguiman.multiply.com/video/item/10
The video quality is not the best but, you can tell it's a much improved rendition. I can only imagine the next one after rehearsals in a few weeks.

Posted: 2/13/07 at 8:34pmThe video quit working 1/4 of the way in. But what I heard sounded much better, more fragile and young.

Posted: 2/13/07 at 8:36pmThis version is leagues better than the one she did on the talk show. Her belt sounds as good as I've ever heard it...
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

One word comes to mind when I hear Lea...AMAZING!!!
All Hail CeLea!!!!
"Men like me can never change,
Men like you can never change.
No,
24601.
My duty's to the law - you have no
Rights.
Come with me 24601.
Now the wheel has turned around,
Jean Valjean is nothing now.
Dare you talk to me of crime,
And the price you had to pay.
Every man is born in sin.
Every man must choose his way.
You know nothing of Javert.
I was born inside a jail,
I was born with s like you,
I am from the gutter too!"

She has a beautiful voice and this version is definitely much better than the last one. Still not quite as emotional as I personally like, but I'm very curious to see what she'll be like after she gets in some rehearsals and settles into the role.
And it did play all the way through for me.
"I wrote a book: "How to Be Popular". Now I've put together a top ten list of how to help you:
-Elphie, everyday... shower. I mean, who knows? Maybe some of that green is gonna come off!
-Deodorant Elphie. No body likes a stinky witch!
-I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that.
-Clean underclothes. That's all I'm gonna say.
-Look at your posture. That's no way to be popular!
-Bed made, room straightened. We've done that.
-Colors blended. Oookay.
-But the most important thing to have, to make yourself popular, is to keep your beautiful smile."
~Kristin Chenoweth in her last performance of the song "Popular"

Oh, how I adore you, Lea Salonga.
My Christmas present is supposed to be a trip to New York and Les Mis tickets in March or April . . . I'm PRAYING that my dad actually comes through on this one.
I chose, and my world was shaken. So what?
The choice may have been mistaken. The choosing was not.

Oh my, she's wearing the blue dress again...
Just the same, amazing... I really cant wait to see her! I am so excited!
And here's wishing for a new cast recording. 
, if not, the company responsible for this concert should release this on CD. PLEASE!
GOD BLESS!

Thanks for posting!
I agree this is better. But the sound system might have an effect. The other one was recorded from a talk show, the sound system is not built like it would be in a concert venue.

Wow...
I definitely have to go back and see the show again once she's in it.
That was great.
