According to Lea, she liked 3 singers who were singing “Listen”. The first one is the original version which is from Beyonce. The second performance was from Charice when she performed at Glee. The third performance was from Darren Espanto. The three artists that have in common is the emotion wherein they emphasized that the audience should listen to the message that they wanted to relay.
