I voted Joanna as she was just so amazing as Kim and always made me cry. Such a wonderful voice and what an actress. Love her as Fantine.

Has to be Jo without a doubt. She puts so much heart and soul into the role, apart from her amazing voice which seems to get more powerful by the day. Fantastic as Fantine too.

Moni - You can probably find the major CSR songs on the internet (well, I've only managed Now That I've Seen Her...searching for the actors as well as Miss Saigon may help). The actual CSR is available on Amazon, but that requires money.

I voted Lea, she's absolutely flawless. No one else has such a pure, sweet tone IMO. I do like Joanna's voice but not as Kim - I find it too rich. I also disagree on Joanna's acting, I've seen her as Kim twice and the first was ok but the second performance was the worst I've ever seen. Ok it might have been an off day but it has never been so obvious to me that someone was simply going through the motions.

yeah...lol. Thank You! Finally someone agrees with me!
I think both of them sound alike. When I first heard it, my reaction was "Wow, I've never heard Lea sing this version before." But then I relistened to it, and I noticed Jo's vibrato was different. I can't say which one I like better, b/c I only heard that one clip of Jo, but I know Jo has a more stronger voice. Lea's voice is more pure and smooth. They're both great.

I would say Lea, as someone wrote earlier, Joanna has a richer sounding voice, and I just think that Lea's light and pretty voice makes her innocence stand out more than Joanna's voice.
