A man turned heads of mall shoppers when he belted out the duet version of "The Prayer" effortlessly and singlehandedly.
Remember how difficult the Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli version of "The Prayer" is? Aspiring Filipino singer Amiel Orio sang both the male and female parts of the song that made his fellow shoppers at a mall stop and stare at his performance. By the end of the song, a lot of people applauded.
In malls, there are areas where videoke systems were being sold and the agent usually invites shoppers to try out the system by allowing them to sing a few songs.
Netizens were also amazed by this man's remarkable talent when Patricia Ramoso Pamangkin posted the video on social media. It was immediately picked up by different sites. In Team Philippines Facebook page, his video has garnered 13 million views.
His new found legion of fans wished that he will be able to build his singing career professionally. Others wished that US TV host Ellen DeGeneres will take notice of video and will invite Orio in her show. If that happens, he will join other singers that have conquered the international scene like Regine Velasquez, Arnel Pineda, Lea Salonga, and Charice Pempengco.
This is not the first time that a Filipino has done something like this. Orio probably impersonated 2012 "Pilipinas Got Talent" winner Marcelito Pomoy who sang the same song for the finale of the talent show. There was also a segment in a variety show that showcased this particular type of talent.
Watch the viral video below and be amazed on this superb Filipino talent.
