Marcelito Pomoy sings "The Prayer" - REACTION!!!! 

To give you a background on the life of Marcelito Pomoy.... he was born and raised from a broken family and ended up being adopted by one of his parents siblings who was a police officer at that time. No adoption papers, he was just fostered in his house. He studied in kindergarten through to his 3rd grade in grade school in a local public school. He was neglected in that family so at a very young age of about 8 years old left the only home he knew and walked the streets of Manila often going for days hungry, doing whatever odd jobs he can do to be able to buy a piece of bread or scraps of food he could find on the streets. All that time he learned to humm and sing to himself. He did so much variety of odd jobs like being a helper in construction sites, mixing cement manually with gravel and water and carrying it to the guys needing to build hollow blocks with cement, etc., selling boiled duck eggs which is a popular delicacy called "Balot" upto the wee hours of dawn, any job an under 12 year old kid could do Marcelito had done it. He would hang around clubs and restaurants and watch in amazement at the talent of the singers' performing while he watched from outside the door. He started singing himself and follow the way he sees the singers sing and thru the years he kept on singing. He was a no read no write kid having left his 3rd year public grade school education to fend for himself and survived all those years. He was in his mid teens, while in several construction sites that he had discovered he could sing both a male and female voice. He honed his skills further and sometime in his late teens or early 20's he was urged by his circle of friends to join a nationwide TV network having a singing competition in Manila. He passed the audition but did not show his full talent until he sang in the competition live and on the air. He won the competition hands down despite so many excellent competitors. He got a record deal with the recording studio arm of the same tv network and the rest is now history. His SUFFERINGS in life I just touched on the surface.... You won't be able to watch his RU-vid videos about his life story coming from Marcelito Pomoy because he is not comfortable talking in conversational American English. He can sing almost all songs in so many different languages with the help of a diction coach but talk to him in English, interview him in English and he would need a translator to assist him. He is very rich now in terms of an average Filipino earning a decent living in manila, he was able to buy a beautiful home and got married to his girlfriend and they have a child now to enrich their married blissful life as a family. He has now returned to school to be more confident in his life but it's still a very long way to go for him. He does an excellent job of emulating the diction, way of delivering of the singers he hears and watches. His favorite singer is Celine Dion and Andre Bochhelli (?) and the prayer is one of his favorite songs. He first listens to each song he wants to sing, following their pronunciation, breathing patterns, etc until he's able to follow them like he is Celine Dion etc. I hope I had she'd some life on Marcelito Pomoy so you'd understand better why maybe you'd notice some slight imperfections in the way he emulates other singers songs. I'm Mr. Briones, from the Philippines, too, like Marcelito is, but I've migrated to Australia living in the beautiful city of Sydney. God Bless us all. Jhun Briones Sydney Australia

Marcelito makes it easy because he can. He is a singing angel on earth. For me, this is his absolute masterpiece, something of crystal clear sung, the bright madness. I can't really think of a second person who can do it better

yep, He was the grand champion of the Philippines God Talent. He is one of the amazing singers in the Philippines. we love you chai, greetings from the Philippines. Mabuhay!

He is truly one of the best if not the best male vocalist I've ever heard in my life. Absolutely incredible😱😱😱😱

Marcelito is talented.. and you are beautiful...

You seem to be most amazed by my idol Marcelito. Marcelito Castro Pomoy IS THE REAL DEAL. I had the great privilege of meeting and watching him in concert in June in Toronto. Check out his life story; it is worthy of a movie. Watching him live was like an out of body experience. The videos DO NOT do his voice any justice. Proud to be Filipino. Cheers from Toronto.

Thanks for the genuine reactions it just put a smile in our every faces for the Filipinos our humbly thanks that we contributed our talents in every single corner in the world...bravo

What a fabulous awesome natural reaction. We all got so much joy in watching you watching this incredible performer. We watched your reaction several times and everybody got the same incredible joy. Thank you so much. Bill Australia

beautiful ladycorrectly admired Marcelito Pomoy

He is a testament to a Filipino singer who can perform what we term "Doble Kara" voice. Many Filipino singers can sing like this. Amazing but true.

Just discovered this 'Wish' video, and have spent a good chunk of today hopping around watching reactions on youtube. Usually there are three kinds: The 'Look at me, I'm over-reacting just to make an impression' ones, the stone faced; you can't tell what I think, ones, and... well, the ones that give a response but you feel like they are being 'real'. I liked yours because it was pretty much my reaction when my wife showed me the video.

her reaction is priceless :)

Filipino's don't lip sync. that's real! you better believe what you're seeing. He's very gifted singer with God-given talents. He's second to none the best singer...yes he's unbelievable!

Hahahaha I like the way she reacts. So genuine but in a beautiful way ☺️

he is a true vocalist

Marcilito is the best singer in the world and im proud to be a filipino.

We filipinos don’t lip sync, we just get bored of singng alone so marcelino invented a duet!

I don't get tired to see this covers,maybe 300 times in couple months...lol...amazing,best cover everrrrr!

it's super talent. he is singing live and in a sitting position.

he is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are adorable huggable spankable and great reactions

Well just for info since you were asking...Marcelito was the grand champion of the Pilipinas Got Telent of the Philippines, or the equivalent of the America or British Got Talent. He can also sing in total female voice and I suggest you look for his rendition of "What Kind of Fool I Am". and by the way love your reaction, sweet.

Great reaction, Chai. And, I didn't even listen but only watched. I am now looking forward to watching your reaction to Marcelito's cover of Celine Dion's rendition of "The Power of Love".

No, Filipino does not lip sync. He is known to have a combination voices of soprano & Tenor, grand winner of Pilipinas Got Talent 2. He has a gifted talent, no any voice training, only finished 3rd grade but I think he is pursuing his studies now, married with 1 daughter. Like a lot of people are saying that he’s awesome.

support him in 2020 AGT THE CHAMPIONS❤❤❤
