Good eveing Queen, what a lovely beautiful pretty young lady you are. I am named Eugene from South Africa. Your reaction at first was "is that really his voice" and we could see that you were really amazed, but, as the song continues and he changed to the male version, your whole face lit up and you were even more surprised. That is what makes you stand out from the other reactors, you wait and you listen and only afterwards do you give your reaction. your command, knowledge and experience is one of true and genuine. And we find you worthy of our esteem. 1 million views is to little for you, keep it up !!!
Like many Philipinne people he is super talented. Marcelito's back story is also like a fairy tale, from spending his infancy in prison, to being adopted, to running away before he was 10, to living on the city streets. Then falling in love and now a bright and successful future.
Facial expressions sometimes is much better reaction than talking too much while listening ...hehehe....and you did it...thanks for reacting to marcelito..
Try listening and reacting to Filipino singer Marcelito Pomoy singing his four songs at America's Got Talent, his version of You Raise Me Up, Endless Love, Ikaw Ang Pangarap, Narito Ako, his songs at One Magical Night Concert such as Despacito, Never Enough, Perfect, version of chinese song The Moon Represents My Heart, once popularized by Teresa Teng and all his Filipinos songs including those he interpreted at A Song Of Praise (ASOP) like Aasa Sa Awa Mo, Ama and Pagbabalik.
He was born into a broken family, hardly a few years old when his mother left his family and his father ended up in jail for a long time. With no other relative to take care of Marcelito Pomoy while he was below 5 years old, he ended up joining his father inside the jail. After sometime being inside the jail cell living with other genuine criminals and his father, a police guard was moved by his plight that he took Marcelito Pomoy to live in his home with his own family. 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, Philippines, 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 while searching for his mother he never really knew. All that time he learned to humm and sing himself to sleep. 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, excluding any criminal activities which he never did. 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. It was while Marcelito Pomoy was in his teens while cleaning inside massively large chicken pens in chicken farms that he discovered he could sing both male and female voices. His very first audiences were those clucking, egg laying chickens... we will never know whether Marcelito encouraged those hens to lay more eggs while being serenaded !!! He honed his skills further and sometime in his early 20's he was urged by his circle of friends to join a nationwide TV network singing competition in Manila. 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 barely 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 vocal 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 bought 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 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 Bocelli 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 did with Celine Dion etc. He never had a voice coach back then because he could not afford one before he joined a Philippine singing contest. I hope I had shed some life on Marcelito Pomoy so you'll understand better why maybe you'd notice some slight imperfections in the way he emulates other singers' songs. In one of the interviews Marcelito Pomoy was asked in Tagalog, the national language of the Philippines, the media wanted to know what was the meaning of the gesture he did pretending to cough at the end of doing a recording of the emotionally filled beautiful song THE PRAYER, he jokingly said he wanted to bring out the woman in him but did not expand any further ... maybe he wanted Celine Dion to come out perhaps ???? 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 reaction vids are sooo fun to watch :) I just love the confusion, shock and Analysis to find out how he's doing it ! By the way, are you from the UK ?
Enjoyed your reaction, especially when you nearly fell out of your chair !! But it was a great performance ! You must react to Dimash Kudaibergenov singing "Autumn Strong" with English Subtitles. This is pure magic.
Hi, I also enjoy Marcelito Pomoy's singing. He is a unique talent. The reason I am posting here is two fold, I want to request you do a video reaction, and as a reply to your comments on Jackie's duet of this song. I am a fan of Jackie Evancho, who did a duet performance of "The Prayer" with Fernando Varela which you did a reaction video to. In your comments you mentioned liking Marcelito's "The Prayer" more, saying he was on another level, since he did both parts. As a novelty, that is most likely true. But musically, Fernando and Jackie's duet is superior. In the title of this video is (Celine Dion/Andrea Bocelli), why? Neither are performing in the video, andMarcelito does not sound like either, nor does he sing like either. The whole point of a singing "Duet" is vocal harmony by which a consonant note or notes are simultaneously sung as a main melody in a predominantly homophonic texture,creating another level of beautiful music. There is no vocal harmony in Marcelito's "The Pray", it is beautiful, but not at the level of a duet sung by two great vocal artist. NOW for my request, another duet with Jackie and Fernando, singing "A Thousand Years", I think you will like it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zoFmEk1-xeE.html
I just had to go and listen to Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli singing their duet of this song. Marcelito Pomoy sings it better, he is an incredible talent... a phenomenon such as the world has never seen.

Try also listening and reacting to Marcelito Pomoy sing the Prayer at Wish Bus 107.5, his 4 songs at America's Got Talent, his version of The Moon Represents My Heart a chinese song popularized by Teresa Teng, Endless Love, You Raise Me Up, his songs at One Magical Night Concert such as Never Enough, Despacito, Perfect, his duet with Morissette Amon The Secret Love Song, and alm his Filipinos songs including those he interpreted in A Song Of Praise (ASOP) like Aasa Sa Awa Mo, Ama at Pagbabalik.
So now how about reacting to Marcelito Pomoy sing "The Power of Love," a song once "owned" by Celine Dion, alone? He slays it. Marcelito doesn't just sing comfortably in a female range. He is the best of the Filipino "two vista" singers. He can pour a woman's inflection and emotion into the songs he sings in a female voice. To me, that is the highest compliment that "two vista" artists give to women.
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
On our planet there are 3 fantastic voices you have seen Marcelito Pomoy who is able to change his voice and take the voice that he is asked for his sound wow and there is also another of the Filipinos also his Morissette Amon wow too and then there is my neighbor, the most beautiful voice in Europe and who is also conquering the world because her voice is exceptional too and on this video you will also do wow because it is just a feat to have made this voice so rare at the perfection .... his Glennis Grace from the Netherlands in Ladies Of Soul Run To You by Whitney Houston and everything we say wow Whitney is back beautiful vision on you will also love this voice and this singer who is also part from a world famous group the Ladies Of Soul. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IdgWArANuvA.html
